Chapter 1641 : Small punishment and big commandment
Not long ago, Chang Yuchun was ordered to lead the Northern Expedition and fought a fierce battle with the Yuan army in Dongchang. When the Ming army entered the city, they found a wooden sign hanging on the door of each house. The surface said welcome the Ming army, but the back said welcome the Yuan army. Chang Yuchun
So the city was massacred, and the city and nearby villages were almost depopulated. By the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, there were only more than 20,000 households in the 18 prefectures and counties under Dongchang Prefecture.
In the first year of Hongwu's reign, Yan Chang, the general of the Chun Dynasty, commanded Yan Guang from Tanzhou to attack Rao Dingchen and massacred the city bloodyly. After the massacre, only "seven households of Tan residents" remained.
This massacre greatly reduced the population of Xiangtan. "There were only a few indigenous households left in Xiangtan City." Including the villages, there were only 43 households with 23 people left in the county. This shows the brutality of the killings at that time. Because of this catastrophe, Xiangxiang and Xiangtan have since been transformed.
The prefecture was demoted to a county. Xu Da tried to persuade Xu Da many times to no avail, so he had to report it to Zhu
Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a headache. They issued orders many times. This time during the Northern Expedition, they even ordered Chang Yuchun to carry out massacres. They obeyed the orders along the way, but they did not expect that such a bloody scene would be staged in the Tatar capital.
, Xu Da frowned, now that the matter was over, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Chang Yuchun looked disdainful and said: "Brother, there is no need to pity. I think those dog Tatars slaughtered the city and killed us Han people a lot more than this. What I did was just a small punishment and a big warning. It doesn't mean anything?"
Xu Da was stunned and had to admit that what Chang Yuchun said was the truth. On the way back from the Western Expedition, Genghis Khan said something chilling to the Mongolian troops behind him. He said: "The greatest pleasure in life is to kill the enemy."
Kill them all, rob them of all their property, and watch their relatives cry bitterly.
, ride their horses, and rape their wives and daughters." All people in the world who are unwilling to be massacred, plundered, and enslaved by them are their enemies. "It is this passage that made Mongolia
The Tatars are fighting everywhere, turning the whole world into a slaughterhouse for their Mongols.
The Mongols destroyed Khwarezm and massacred the city of Xunsiqian (Samarkand) with a population of about one million; they destroyed Xixia and massacred more than 800,000 people in Yinchuan. The Mongols marched west several times and massacred cities wherever there was resistance, and massacred hundreds of cities in total.
Including the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in Baghdad, the entire Central Asia was in ruins.
In 121 AD, Temujin captured Zhongdu, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and carried out a month-long massacre of the residents in the city, in which more than one million people died.
In February 1221, the surrender of Balihei failed to save the city, and the city was completely destroyed (the residents were killed and the city was burned). In Khorasan, he sent his youngest son Tuo Lei to capture Mofu (Mali), and Mofu
Fu City surrendered, and almost all the residents in the city were massacred.
Sitting on a golden chair placed on the plain of Mov, I witnessed this mass slaughter. Men, women, and children were separated, assigned to various military camps according to categories, and then beheaded. "Only 4 craftsmen survived.
"Die". Sangha Sultan's mausoleum was burned and his tomb was emptied.
In April 1221, the city of Nishapur was captured and completely destroyed. Tokhcha's widow presided over the massacre. To prevent being deceived, the corpses were beheaded and the heads were piled separately according to men, women and children.
It was formed into a pyramid shape. "Even cats and dogs were slaughtered." The Mongols demolished the tomb of Harunlasht near Tus. The tombs of Harunlasht and Sangha, and all other contributions to the brilliant Arab-Persian civilization
The buildings that added glory were destroyed one by one.
In 122 AD, Temujin, the butcher, was bitten by a Xixia woman when he was venting his beastly desires. Eventually, he was full of evil in Liupan Mountain. Later, his successors achieved the conquest of Xixia. Out of revenge, he ordered Xixia to be transformed from emperor to beggar.
All were killed, nearly 20,000 people were massacred, and the Dangxiang ethnic group was extinct from the land of China. More than 10,000 residents of Xingqing Mansion (today's Yinchuan), the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty alone, were massacred.
When the Mongolian army occupied northern China, its genocidal methods were the worst. Almost every city had records of massacres. According to records, after the Song people arrived in the Central Plains, they found that the Central Plains was uninhabited for thousands of miles, with bones everywhere, and wells filled with dead bodies and water.
It is not drinkable. Occasionally, people who escape and slip through the net starve to death because they cannot find food and clean water.
In 1231 AD, Tuo Lei led troops to attack Sichuan and massacred the residents of Chengdu. The thousand-year-old city was left with no human beings. There were an astonishing 140,000 remains in the city, and about 140,000 people were killed in the entire Sichuan Basin! It was this scene.
The massacre made the Han people hate the Tatars deeply. Both Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng have always adhered to the large-scale "killing the Tatars" policy against the Tatars.
, some Han people even cruelly threw their first-born children to death (the Mongols have reserved the right of first night among the Han people for eighty years). Even Xu Da was speechless in response to Chang Yuchun's remarks.
What's more, they didn't expect that in less than a hundred years, they would have to taste what the Han people had tasted back then. They had to say that this was a cycle of nature, and they would not be happy with their retribution. They sighed lightly, not knowing what to say.
"Stop kowtowing?" Xu Da shouted to the only remaining Tatar.
The Tatar was so frightened that he stopped kowtowing and knelt on the ground fearfully, not daring to move for fear of being killed if he moved.
Xu Dazong rode a little closer and saw that most of the people he saw were wearing Ming army uniforms. Even the scimitar on his waist was a Han single-handed sword. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you doing? Just recruit them from the truth, otherwise -?"
"
"I said, I will say anything?" The Tatar didn't know whether he was frightened out of his courage, or if he really just wanted to survive. After hearing Xu Da's question, he kowtowed and replied, looking quite funny.
Xu Da secretly cursed: "Is this really retribution?" After the Tatar kowtowed enough, he said: "Okay, okay, let me ask you, what are you doing like this?"
The Tatar cried: "I'm not going to hide it from the military master. Is this villain just following orders?"
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at each other, each frowning. Chang Yuchun shouted: "I am acting under orders. Who ordered me to do what?"
The Tatar said tremblingly: "I have been ordered by my prince to lead these three thousand soldiers to break through the city gate and deliver His Majesty's imperial edict to Taiyuan while the defender of Xizhimen is having a great victory!"
Chang Yuchun glanced at Xu Da and thought to himself: "This son of the Tatar emperor really has some tricks. Xizhimen has just won a great victory, and the morale of the army must have been relaxed. At this time, he would not have thought that the Tatars would take the opportunity to kill a carbine. Such a situation
Come, although the three thousand troops and horses are a little short,
, but firstly, they are caught by surprise, and secondly, these are masters. With these two conditions, it is not impossible to get out of the city gate. Besides, the purpose of the Tatars is to break out. As long as one person leaves the city, they will be sent out.
If you know the news, this battle will be a victory.
