On the tenth day of October, Dali Temple ordered a prison sentence. When it was time for Yuan Chonghuan to be executed, he already knew in prison that today was the day of execution. He was not afraid of death, but he was not willing to die in such a way. He was the governor of Liaodong, even if he could not do it

Arrive at Ma Ke Bao

His body was returned, and he shouldn't have died a cowardly death amidst the scorn of the people. Especially since he had been sentenced to beheaded. Yuan Chonghuan even heard from the jailer who sympathized with him that many unsuspecting people outside wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

.Yuan Chonghuan couldn’t help but smile miserably,

He tried his best to defend Liaodong, but he was killed by a traitor in the court, and ended up like this. Especially when he heard that two adults, Han Xu and Qian Longxi, were dismissed from office because of his incident, he was even more sad. He refused to eat or drink.

Sitting dry for many days until October

On the evening of the 9th, because the execution was to be carried out tomorrow, the jailer specially prepared a sumptuous meal for Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan went against his usual routine and ate and drank all the food and wine in front of him. He also asked the jailer for wine until he was extremely drunk and passed out.

personnel.

On the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, the warden of Dali Temple came to Yuan Chonghuan's cell to verify his identity. "Supervisor, I am also following orders. Supervisor, don't be surprised!" The warden handed over to Yuan Chonghuan.

Salute, Yuan Chonghuan was shackled on his hands and feet and could not return the gift, but he stared at the warden with bright eyes and said: "Yuan understands, please handle it quickly, Yuan wants to go out."

Meet these gangsters!" The warden was a little embarrassed. After all, today's prison officer is Zhou Yanru, and his adjutants are Wang Yongguang and Liang Tingdong. The escorts behind the warden are all from the Ministry of War. Yuan Chonghuan said so

Eight or nine times, Liang Tingdong listened, and he was dead. But his warden still wanted to continue. So he had no choice but to not answer and just go through the formalities.

This time, in addition to Yuan Chonghuan being sentenced to death, his family members Zhou Yanru and others were not spared. Originally, they were planning to kill all of him, but Wen Tiren was afraid of something happening in Liaodong, so he had to take a step back and exile his family to Hainan.

.After Yuan Chonghuan's execution today, they will set off tomorrow and be escorted by officials from the Ministry of Punishment to Hainan to serve their sentence.

Crash, clatter, the iron chains on his feet clattered. Yuan Chonghuan walked toward the gate, and the soldiers behind him tried to twist his arm. Yuan Chonghuan shouted loudly: "You are so outrageous, how can I tolerate you and others?"

Li." Yuan Chonghuan commanded the Ming Dynasty's 200,000 elite troops in Liaodong, accumulating

He was very powerful, and now his eyes widened with anger, and the power of the commander burst out. The soldiers behind him had never seen such a posture before. They were immediately frightened and retracted their hands. Everyone said that Yuan Chonghuan held a powerful army and was not angry.

It turned out to be true. Yuan Chonghuan walked towards the door minding his own business.

A jailer went to open the door, and the dazzling sunlight shone in. Yuan Chonghuan instinctively stretched out his hand to block it. After exiting the door, Yuan Chonghuan took a greedy breath of fresh air. "Hahaha, the smell in the prison is dirty, and it is indeed the same day.

Outside the prison, people can breathe freely

, The weather is very good today, it is a good day for Yuan to return to the west." The words were tragic. The prison car at the door was ready, and the old jailer from the Tianlao stepped forward to untie the iron chain of the wooden door of the prison car and opened the wooden door.

Then he made a gesture of invitation: "Supervisor, please!"

"Well!" Yuan Chonghuan nodded and stepped onto the prison car. With a bang, the wooden door closed. Yuan Chonghuan stood upright in the prison car, with only his head sticking out of the prison car. The groom raised his whip and urged the horses to drive the prison car out.

Tianlao.behind

The soldiers stepped forward and lined up on the left and right. The group of people marched towards Caishikou. There was already a sea of ​​people at Caishikou, and people who had been brainwashed by false news and did not know the truth lined up on both sides of the street, just waiting to see.

The treacherous minister subdued the law.

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's prison car appeared, tens of thousands of people immediately became agitated. Some people pointed at Yuan Chonghuan and yelled: "Traitor! Death is not a pity!" "Traitors deserve to be killed!" "Collude with barbarians, shameless!" Every word was like a knife.

In Yuan Chonghuan's heart, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to cry out for injustice, but he knew that the end was done. No matter what he said,

It didn't help the matter. That's all, let the knowledgeable people comment on the merits and demerits. Then, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were constantly thrown on the prison car, making Yuan Chonghuan's whole body dirty. Yuan Chonghuan didn't care, he just wanted to

Thinking about what he had done in his life, he thought of Liu Yi in a daze, and couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief on his face. Fortunately, it was okay.

Well, the Ming Dynasty can be considered as leaving a seed. As long as Liu Yi's new army can take root in the Ming Dynasty and establish itself as the strongest army in the world in the future, I don't believe that the Jianlu would dare to come to the Ming Dynasty to do evil. I thought of the teacher again, the teacher is already over 10 years old.

Gu Xi actually had to be involved in supervising Liaodong. It was all his fault that he was incompetent and failed to manage Liaodong well, so that Huang Taiji took advantage of it.

Come on, the teacher has to clean up the mess for himself at such an old age. This time the elites of Liaodong suffered heavy losses, such as Zu Dashou He Kegang and other arrogant soldiers. The teacher will have to spend a lot of time to take care of them. If it is because of this incident

The teacher cannot be allowed to enjoy his old age in peace, because he, Yuan Chonghuan, is the great sinner. Yuan Chonghuan could not help but shake his head with regret in the prison car.

The execution ground at Caishikou has been arranged long ago, and all the executioners have taken their seats. They are waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to be escorted here. Today is already after the autumnal equinox, and the temperature in the capital gradually drops and starts to get colder. The Ming Dynasty, like all dynasties,

Similarly, it is also Qiu Hou Wen Zhan. Qiu Hou Wen Zhan originated from the record of Meng Qiu Zhiyue in "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" during the Warring States Period: "

When the cool breeze arrives, the white dew falls, and the cicadas sing, the eagle sacrifices the bird and begins to kill it." This means: the weather is getting colder, the frost begins, the cicadas in the cold weather have already begun to cry, and the eagle wants to use the bird to sacrifice.

They catch birds in the sky and kill them. Therefore, people believe that after autumn, eagles begin to kill birds for sacrifice, and humans can kill the criminals to achieve justice.

The origin of Caishikou is that during the Yuan Dynasty, the famous patriotic civil servant Wen Tianxiang was killed here. The bloodstains were covered with loess. Later, some people sold vegetables here, and the business got better and better. Over time, Caishikou was formed. So it was first

There is also a vegetable market in the execution ground.

"Master Chief Assistant, the prisoner is here." Wang Yongguang reminded Zhou Yanru. He had already seen Yuan Chonghuan being escorted in the prison car from a distance. Zhou Yanru looked at it with his hand curtain, "Executioner, be prepared."

Six doors on the execution platform for beheading

The master Chen Qian Dao sprayed liquor on the small dagger, and two helpers prepared the fishing net. Chen Qian Dao's real name cannot be verified, just because he has been the executioner for the past ten years, and he has never

Only prisoners who have been cut with the prescribed number of knives will die.

, so it got such a nickname. The method of execution is simple and simple. It is to tie the prisoner tightly with a fishing net, and then use a knife to cut off the prisoner's flesh exposed through the holes of the fishing net. The difficulty is that the prisoner cannot

He was still being executed because of excessive blood loss.

He died before it was over, so Chen Qiandao usually applied Liumen's Mafei Powder and hemostatic medicine on the prisoner, so that the prisoner would not die of blood loss in a short while, and the Mafei Powder numbed the prisoner's nerves.

, and will not let him go into shock due to pain.

Yuan Chonghuan was getting closer and closer, and Liang Tingdong, who was the deputy supervisor and beheading officer, couldn't help snorting: "Humph, you Yuan Yuanhua are here too." Yuan Chonghuan had already seen the people sitting on the supervisory stage, and they were all familiar.

Face, I didn’t expect that Liang Tingdong, a villain who embezzled military pay, could be the Minister of the Ministry of War. And Zhou Yanru, a flatterer like Zhou Yanru, could be the first assistant. This is the Ming Dynasty

Is there any way to save his officialdom? He was too lazy to talk to these people and just glared angrily. Zhou Yanru met Yuan Chonghuan's gaze and avoided it with a guilty conscience. He just ordered: "Bring the prisoner up." The escorting soldiers

He opened the wooden door of the prison car, but he did not dare to step forward and twist Yuan Chonghuan. He could only watch Yuan Chonghuan calmly walk out of the car and then step onto the execution platform.

Liang Tingdong said angrily: "It's unreasonable. He is so arrogant when he is about to die. Wrestle him and drag him up." Yuan Chonghuan yelled: "Let me see who dares, Liang Tingdong, you, a villain who embezzles money, how dare you?

Sitting in the Ministry of War, Minister of War

Position, you have never made any achievements in your life, you can only waggle your lips, organize parties and fight for troubles. A dog with a broken spine dares to bark in front of me. Do you think hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong don't know your bad reputation? I have never seen anyone like you.

You are such a shameless person!"

"Ah! You!" Liang Tingdong's heart ached, and his vision went black. He didn't expect that Yuan Chonghuan would dare to shout arrogantly when he was about to die. A salty smell surged in his throat. Wang Yongguang next to him saw that Liang Tingdong was about to vomit blood. He immediately became angry and vomited blood.

Zhou Yanru was advised to say: "Master Chief Assistant, let's execute him. To prevent him from being arrogant here, cut out his tongue first and see what else he can say."

" Before he finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan turned around and faced the tens of thousands of people in the audience, reciting loudly: "A lifetime's career will always be in vain, and half a lifetime's fame will be in dreams. After death, there will be no brave generals, and the loyal soul will still guard Liaodong!" He paused!

After a pause, he then said: "Your Majesty, I, Yuan Chonghuan, will be born as a Ming Dynasty man and die as a Ming Dynasty ghost. This moment of execution is enough to express my intention. Come on, do it!"

Originally, Zhou Yanru was still hesitant before noon, but seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was so arrogant and the people in the audience were shocked by Yuan Chonghuan's momentum, they were a little confused. Looking at the situation, it seemed that Yuan Chonghuan had been wrongly accused.

Yes, but all the information spread out has a nose and an eye. It seems that Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor. But if he was a traitor, he should be trembling with fear at this time. How could he be so righteous and impassioned?

Zhou Yanru realized that the momentum was not right, and without waiting for noon, he immediately threw his arrow and shouted: "Execution, execution immediately!" Two six-door government officials tied Yuan Chonghuan to the execution pillar, and then covered the fishing net with

On top of him, tens of thousands of people were holding their breath and waiting for that moment to begin.

However, in the crowd, Yuan Chonghuan saw a familiar face. That was, yes, it was Liu Jin. The order Liu Yi gave him was not to rob the law field, the important place in the capital, and the Qing Yi Army did not have the ability to do it blatantly.

But Liu Yi can do it for Yuan Chonghuan to avoid execution and leave happily. Liu Jin

I had met Yuan Chonghuan during the Southeast War. Of course Yuan Chonghuan recognized him. When he appeared here, could it be that people from the Qing Yi Army were here? Liu Yi wanted to rob the execution ground? Yuan Chonghuan was just about to signal Liu Jin not to do stupid things. Liu Jin stretched out his right hand.

, slightly pushing up his sleeves. He walked forward and stood as close to the row as possible.

From the position of the execution platform, Yuan Chonghuan had already seen the cold light emitted by the arrows of the small crossbow in Liu Jin's sleeve. It was the arrow in Cheng's sleeve, and Yuan Chonghuan was very familiar with it. He suddenly understood Liu Yi's intention. He saw General Liu Jin

He put on his bamboo hat and saluted Yuan Chonghuan with clasped fists. Yuan Chonghuan nodded silently and motioned for him to take action.

Chen Qiandao had already raised the dagger in his hand. He cupped his fist and said, "Master Yuan, I'm sorry! I can't disobey the emperor's orders. Don't blame me when you get down there!" The dagger was about to cut Yuan Chonghuan's body. Between the lightning and flint,

A bit of cold light flew by, and with a pop, a small crossbow arrow shot into Yuan Chonghuan's chest. Yuan Chonghuan died suddenly with a smile...

(The fisherman notes that the real execution of Yuan Chonghuan in history was extremely brutal. "The executioner cut a piece of meat, and the people paid for it and ate it raw. In a short time, the meat was sold. Then the internal organs were cut out, and the pieces were sold. The people bought it, and drank it with shochu.")

Swallowed raw, blood flowed to the teeth and cheeks. The skin and bones were gone. Between the heart and lungs, the screams continued and stopped after half a day.

." Excerpted from "Northern Strategy of the Ming Dynasty". After Chonghuan's death, the righteous servant of the She family collected his bones and buried them in Guangdong Yiyuan inside Guangqumen, Beijing. From then on, he guarded Yuan's tomb for generations. As for Yuan Chonghuan's family, Ming history also records "
