After forcing Nan Huairen to immediately build artillery for Guan Ning's army, Zhao Qiang summoned Shang Zhangyu from the Ministry of Punishment to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He had a very important matter to explain to him.【】
For Zhang Yu, Zhao Qiang must be used. He cannot be abandoned because of his callous attitude towards the Feng family, because this person is very capable. Just after he took over as the Minister of Punishment, the Punishment Ministry returned to Guan Ning overnight.
The full personnel establishment before entering the city, and a large number of officials from the Ministry of Justice were deployed to cooperate with Guan Ning's army to control the inner city, which made the massacre of the Eight Banners in the inner city much more efficient. On this alone, this jade can do things and can be trusted.
He, at least in the current situation, does no harm to Zhao Qiang. Without him, Zhao Qiang could not find anyone who could replace Zhang Yu, nor could he find anyone who could control the Ministry of Justice, so Zhang Yu had to be used.
Zhao Qiang didn't know that Zhang Yu actually saved his life. When they were in Yongling, Zhang Yu and Alan Tai saved Zhao Qiang's life when he was about to be skinned. Of course, there was also a woman who indirectly saved Zhao Qiang's life.
Well, that is Princess Ming'an, the little sister of the King of North Korea. But Zhao Qiang doesn't know, Zhang Yu doesn't know, the dead Alan Tai doesn't know, and Princess Ming'an who is far away in North Korea doesn't know either. If they know that they saved her that day
I don’t know how I feel about that Wu Jun man who single-handedly overthrew the Manchus and completely erased the Manchus from history.
People are perfect. Zhao Qiang doesn't care what kind of person Zhang Yu was before or what his moral character is. He only cares about whether using this person will be helpful to what he wants to do. If so, use him; if not,
Just kill him.
When Zhang Yu entered the palace, he first bowed to the emperor's father and the regent, and then bowed slightly to the living puppet Emperor Xuantong who had been sitting in the palace but could not say a word. He opened the corners of his mouth, but finally said nothing.
talk.
"I wonder what the prince has to do with his subordinates?" Zhang Yu turned directly to Zhao Qiang. He knew that he would not be asked to come for this matter.
Zhao Qiang nodded and asked him directly: "How many descendants do Fan Cheng, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wanwo, and Li Yongfang have in the capital?"
"this…"
Zhang Yu was startled and thought for a while before saying: "Returning to the prince, Fan Hongning and Li were all heroes in the founding of the Qing Dynasty and received very generous titles. Now the descendants of these four people all live in the capital. Fan Cheng, Ning Wanwo, Li Yongfang
The three of them were flag bearers during their lifetimes, so their descendants are now bannermen. Only the descendants of Hong Chengchou did not join the banner and lived in the outer city. The imperial court granted the Hong family the hereditary position of Captain of Qingche. Now here we are.
Jue Youhong's grandson Hong Zhaoxi is here." At this point, he asked Zhao Qiang with some confusion: "I wonder why the prince is asking these questions?"
"You don't need to worry about the three families who entered the flag. They are almost dead anyway. The ones who are not dead are only in the past few days. You send people to arrest the Hong Zhao family for me, um..."
Zhao Qiang took two steps lightly, nodded and said: "Execute the ten clans of the Hong family."
"Kill the ten tribes!"
Zhang Yu was shocked. Punishing the Nine Tribes has been the most extreme punishment since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Fang Xiaoru was asked by Emperor Zhu Di to write a letter of surrender to recruit those scholars. He would rather die than refuse. Emperor Cheng threatened him and said, "Aren't you afraid of killing the Nine Tribes?"
Fang Xiaoru calmly replied: "What's wrong with just killing the ten tribes?" So Zhu Di ordered the execution of his ten tribes. Even his teachers and friends were implicated, which was unprecedented. But since then, the ten tribes have been killed.
The incident with the Hong family never happened again. Even if he committed the serious crime of rebellion, he would not punish the ten clans. Now the emperor's father and the regent actually wanted to punish the ten clans of the Hong family, which made Zhang Yu feel shocked and incredible.
But what made him even more incredible was yet to come. Zhao Qiang seemed to have thought of something and said again: "Well, I almost forgot, Fan Cheng, Ning Wan, Li Yongfang, these three guys have entered the flag, but they are also
We must kill their ten clans, only in this way can I vent the hatred in my heart! Zhang Yu, you are the Shang of the Ministry of Punishment, this matter is up to you. You have to investigate for me, Haosheng, whether you are in the banner or not.
Those who join the banner, these three families will also kill the ten tribes like the Hong family!" After a pause, he emphasized in a stern tone: "Zhang Yu, what are the ten tribes? I don't need to say it anymore."
"Yes, yes, I know, I know, I know..."
Zhang Yu broke out in a cold sweat, his mouth was dry, and he thought to himself that the emperor's father and regent had killed too many people, and he was just like a tyrant. For his ministers, I am afraid that he has truly fulfilled the old saying that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. However, he has already
After getting on the pirate ship, it was difficult to get off the tiger, so I had no choice but to risk my life and accompany the emperor and the regent into the dark.
"The direct descendants of the four people will all be executed without mercy, with a total of nine thousand nine hundred knives, not even one less knives. The rest of the people, regardless of gender, will be killed. I want to make the world famous. What will be the consequences of being a traitor! I want to make the world famous.
People know that this traitor cannot do this, otherwise, not only will he die, but his wife, children, and children, his family, and his teachers, students, and old friends will also be affected!"
"I, the King, want to know that under the brandishment of my butcher's knife, who else in this world would dare to be a traitor or a traitor!"
"People, you kill first, and then you draw up the charges yourself for me. You are a smart person and know why I want to kill them. Why these people want to die. You have to write it down clearly for me. It's best if you can
List the traitors and record them, and when the king needs them, they will be promulgated throughout the world, do you understand?"
Zhang Yu took a breath and nodded slightly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I know what to do!"
Zhao Qiang's purpose in cruelly treating the descendants of the traitors was very simple, which was to shock the Han officials, soldiers and Han people in the pass, so that they would consider their own path before helping the Qing army against the Guan Ning army.
Only when the price of being a traitor is so great that those who want to be a traitor dare not accept it, then the traitor will become extinct. Education and inspiration are bullshit, only the butcher's knife is the most realistic and useful.
Zhang Yu thought that Zhao Qiang had finished explaining, and was about to go down to handle it, but she heard the emperor's father and the regent calmly ask again: "By the way, is Kong Youde's daughter Kong Sizhen in the capital?"
This question almost made Zhang Yu bite off his tongue.
Kong Sizhen was the daughter of Kong Youde. Although Kong Youde was destroyed by Li Dingguo, he still left a daughter named Kong Sizhen, and this Kong Sizhen was also a hard-core traitor. In later generations, this traitor woman was also portrayed as a beautiful woman who was affectionate and righteous to everyone.
Qing vowed to be loyal to the end and had an unexplained relationship with Shunzhi, making him the subject of nonsense TV dramas. Therefore, Zhao Qiang wanted to kill this woman.
In history, the Qing court used Kong Sizhen to make the Dingnan vassal exist in name. However, Kong Sizhen was incapable and impossible to make the Dingnan vassal become a local force that threatened the Qing rule like the three vassals. Therefore, the Qing royal family regarded Kong Sizhen as its tyrant.
Taking charge of the Dingfan is a hidden secret. If after the death of Kong Youde, Kong Sizhen was ignored because he was a woman, and the Dingfan was returned to Guo'an or Li Ruchun and other supervisors, then the power of the Dingfan would be just around the corner. The Qing government would not pacify the three vassals but pacify them.
The four vassals were established. As for the possibility of Dingfan returning to be in charge of national security, it can be traced back to the fact that in the fifteenth year of Kangxi, the sergeant remembered the old favor of Guoan and made a noise to establish the third son. Therefore, the Qing royal family used Kong Sizhen to maintain Dingfan. It was indeed a clever move.
When the vassalage cannot be withdrawn for the time being, naming Kong Sizhen as a concubine should stabilize the vassal in the long term. In the first year of Kangxi, the Qing court sent Kong Sizhen to marry Sun Yanling and made Sun Yanling the leader of the vassal. Sun Yanling was obviously not suitable to be the leader of a vassal.
, First of all, he started from a humble background, was a noble woman, and was young, and his old ministers were all veteran generals who had followed Kong Youde in the north and south for many years, so it was naturally difficult to control him; secondly, Sun Yanling did not have any talents, except for being physically fit.
He was good at stabbing, but his courage and heroism in leading the army were even inferior to that of Kong Sizhen.
"Yesterday, when the school flag was first issued, Mr. Xiao did not dare to raise his head."
Therefore, the reason why Kong Sizhen was able to live in a rare place and received preferential treatment from the Qing court has its own historical role. During the San Francisco Rebellion, Wu Sangui also followed the gourd's example. After sending people to kill Sun Yanling, "Sizhen remained in Yunnan as Sangui's adopted daughter."
"Historians of later generations once said, "When Youde died, Sizhen became the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty and lived in the capital; when Yanling died, Sizhen became the adopted daughter of Sangui and lived in Yunnan.
One."
Kong Sizhen's final ending can be said to be quite tragic. Although she returned to the capital, her husband died and her children died. She was just an old widow of the Sun family. She had no political value and no longer the heroic image of the queen she once was. She could
It is said that she is a woman who has no influence at all. Apart from being the daughter of Kong Youde, King of Dingnan, she has nothing to be humane about.
Zhang Yu didn't understand why the emperor's father and regent wanted to kill such an old woman who posed no threat, but after listening to Zhao Qiang's subsequent words, he could only admit again that the emperor's father and regent in front of him might have revenge in his heart.
Still took revenge.
What Zhao Qiang said was, "Kong Sizhen is Kong Youde's daughter, so she must be killed. Not only must she be killed, but she must also be taken to Caishikou and killed. Well, she must be cut in half."
