Hong Chengchou was transferred back to Beijing for trial, and also said that Qingting had officially admitted that this southern invasion had completely failed and that in a short period of time, he might not be able to launch a new offensive against the south.
Shang Yi also immediately ordered in Nanjing to conduct a public trial and execution of the Qing Dynasty Manchu personnel captured by Duoduo and Tunqi during the Nanjing Battle.
In fact, the so-called public trial is just a formality, the focus is on the subsequent execution, because everyone knows that Shang Yi will never give these prisoners a chance to defend himself. This time, Shang Yi executed not only a few Qing court officials, but all the Manchu soldiers captured in the battle to recover Nanjing, totaling 5,637.
Shang Yi was born in the thoughts of later generations and was not a person who liked to kill and poke. In previous battles, he basically did not kill and poke the captured prisoners. Even the soldiers in Manzhou Province were thrown into the mines to be coolies and let them die on their own. This was definitely the first time that a large-scale killing of prisoners like this was definitely a matter of political purposes. The reason why the prisoners were executed so vigorously and the public trial was carried out in such a high-profile manner was entirely for political purposes.
On the one hand, Shang Yi was very clear that the Qing court was essentially a semi-fishing and hunting nomadic people who were integrated with farming and fighting, and had not yet completed feudalization and transformation to a farming nation. In the bones, it still retained the unique courage of fishing and hunting nomadic people, martial character, advocated the strong, and looked down on the weak. Since the Qing court had always maintained military victory over the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years ago, the Qing court despised the Han people very much in the bones of the Manchus. In fact, in another time and space, the way the Qing court conquered China was actually very simple, which was violence. The resistance of the Han people adopted the means of massacre, and the slaughtering the city at all times. The more ruthless the resistance, the more violent the Qing Ren killed it.
Although the merchant army had achieved considerable victory over the Qing court in military affairs, the current merchant army is not a regular regime system after all. Although it has strong military power, it is not enough in terms of power and power. The Qing court only regarded the merchant army as an important opponent to conquer the world, but still looked down on the Han people very much. Therefore, in these southern invasions, although there was no large-scale massacre, it was still very cruel. Small-scale massacres were no less than another time and space. For example, in Hubei, the Qing army still massacred and relied on the merchant army and the people in Huang'an, Macheng, Luotian and other places without achieving complete victory.
Therefore, for the Qing court at this time, it was useless to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. The best way is to use violence to control violence. Although killing cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it can play a very deterrent and intimidating role in a short period of time. Because of this, Shang Yi is not only the winner, but also morally tenable. Just like in another time and space, the United States threw two atomic bombs on Gui Ji, but world public opinion says that the devils are responsible for their own faults, and no one says that the United States does not talk about humanitarianism.
Sure enough, on the day of the public trial, the public trial site was surrounded by people from Nanjing and nearby people who were watching the fun, with almost nearly 100,000 people. The public trial was located in Jubaoshan South. In fact, the entire public trial did not give these prisoners any chance to speak. Shang Yi directly read out the crimes committed by the Qing army during the southern invasion, and then dragged them out to carry out the conscription and fire. After the killing, he threw them into a large pit dug in advance. After the bodies were filled, the soil was buried.
The first of all the people executed were ordinary soldiers. At this time, some of the prisoners were left to fate, but most of them were afraid of death, so they cried bitterly and begged for mercy. The onlookers just watched first, but after the execution began, some people in the crowd shouted: "Well, kill all these Tartars."
Almost all the people who came to visit were bullied by the Qing army, so they all responded one after another, and soon a unified shouting sound was formed. Every time the gunfire sounds, there would be a hot line of cheers.
Duoduo and other senior personnel were tied to the rostrum. Seeing the Qing soldiers being rushed out to shoot one by one, the onlookers were all cheering and applauding. Duoduo was of course not feeling well, so he had to glar at Shang Yi and said, "Shang Yi, kill me quickly."
Shang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Duoduo, what are you anxious about? It will be your turn sooner or later. If you want to die happily, then there is such an easy thing, let's watch here first."
Duoduo said: "What kind of hero do you think of killing unarmed prisoners like this?"
Shang Yi snorted and said, "Duoduo, do you have the face to bring heroes in front of me? Although I killed prisoners, no matter what, I am a soldier. However, when you invade the south, you killed so many innocent people of our Han people. You guys don't have many innocent lives in your hands, so you deserve it. If you listen to the shouts of these people, what is the innocent?"
Tun Qi beside Duoduo said, "Shang Yi, you are just relying on your own strength, not relying on your true abilities. We do not use firearms if we have the ability. We will kill and kill each shot on the battlefield, and we will only lose like this. I will not accept it until I die."
Shang Yi laughed and said, "Has your head been kicked by a donkey? He was taken by a strong man and captured by a weak man. What's wrong with me using a firearm? If you want to compare strength, a person can't compare to a donkey. Now you lose, you have become prisoners. I'm in my hands whether you accept it or not. When I hit Beijing in the future, I will rely on firearms. What can you do? When I destroy the Qing court, what can you do if you don't accept it."
Tun Qi said: "You are a foolish dream. My Qing Dynasty still flatters the will of heaven and should be prosperous. Although you are proud of yourself now, you will be captured by our Qing Dynasty sooner or later. At that time, there will naturally be someone to avenge us."
Shang Yi smiled and said, "You should be stubborn! Anyway, you can't see the day when the Qing Dynasty perishes, so this is your luck."
They're slapping on stage
The executions under the stage are still underway. At this time, the Qing soldiers have been executed. It is the turn of generals with status and status. The entire public trial has also been pushed to **. Because the level of public trials is getting higher and higher, the onlookers are also in awe of the emotions of the onlookers.
Because of this, when Duoduo was pushed to the execution ground, he shouted like a tsunami.
