golden scales

"Kill!"

A shrill cry pierced the silence of the night, and Dorgon suddenly opened his eyes, and sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

Hearing that Dorgon was awakened by the nightmare, the sleeping concubine in the outer compartment rolled over and got out of bed. Before she opened her eyes, she touched the master's side, gently hugged the shivering Dorgon, and sang in a soft voice. Playing Manchurian folk songs to calm the master down.

Ever since he saw that hellish scene last month, the regent has been awakened by nightmares from time to time, and he knows that the situation in the dream is very scary just by listening to the sleep talk that he yelled out every time.Not to mention that the regent was like this, everyone present at that time was all terrified, and even if they wanted to go home, they would inevitably be haunted by nightmares.

The concubine could still remember that it was the early morning of December [-]th, and several Fujin in the palace were eating fast, praying for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the safe return of their brothers who had gone to the front.No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary, peaceful morning.

Until that bad news shattered all peace to pieces.

The regent Dorgon, who went out of the city early in the morning to inspect the Fengtai camp, was carried back to the mansion.

Riding out and carrying it back, what happened?

The concubines inquired one after another, and finally pieced together an extremely terrifying scene from the fragmentary and incoherent narration.

That is a total of fifty Beijing temples, each with one hundred heads.

A full [-] heads were piled up into [-] earth barriers in the open space outside the city.

This is Jingguan.

Five thousand Manchurian soldiers had their heads chopped off, and they were sent back, where they built a temple.

Surrounded by the guards, Dorgon didn't have to witness this scene with his own eyes, but only after listening to the slave's incoherent report.He insisted on seeing it for himself, as a testament to his prowess.In the end, he overestimated his psychological endurance, and was so frightened by the fifty capitals that he fell off the horse.Only then did the Geshhas send Dorgon back to the palace in a hurry.

The news of the large-scale Jingguan in Fengtai quickly spread throughout the city of Beijing, almost attracting thousands of people.The Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Fengtai were ordered to disperse the crowd, but they were at a loss in the face of these Jingguan.

in their civilization.There has never been such a thing.

In the final analysis, this is a unique war product of Confucian civilization. It originated in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, matured in Spring and Autumn Period, and spread in Qin and Han Dynasties.

In the Shang and Zhou dynasties.The distance between Zhu Xia and Zhu Yi is not as far as later generations imagined.Weiguo, located in the heart of the world, is a tribe of Yi people twenty or thirty miles away from the city.The dog army's attack on Zong Zhou was not like running for thousands of miles, but more like neighbors rushing through the door.In a nutshell, it was an era of mixed Chinese and barbarians.

In that era, the victorious side wanted to show off their martial arts.Punish the enemy, deter dissatisfied, and pile up the enemy's corpses on both sides of the avenue.Covered with soil, named Jingguan.Sometimes in order to increase the visual impact, when there are not enough corpses, prisoners will be temporarily killed and built into a Jingguan.This is the so-called pit (昬) killing.

With the advancement of the wheel of history, Jingguan, like all ancient customs, has been gradually forgotten.The last recorded Jingguan was the "Jingguan Stone" engraved by Yu Dayou after he put down the Luomen Rebellion in Guangxi in April of the third year of Wanli.It was a huge piece of granite, with the words "Jingguan" dripping with blood in the middle, and the words "beheaded more than 510 heads" were written on the lower right.

That's just a Jingguan stone, and it didn't build a real Jingguan.

Now.Jingguan, which is closest to the ancient tradition, reappears in the world, and the terrifying human head towers directly bring people back to the era of massacres thousands of years ago.

Manchurians who believed in shamanism and Lamaism did not dare to approach, but just kissed the ground, called the holy names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, tears in their eyes, and sobbed softly.They have never seen so many corpses of the same clan, and they have never thought that the "barbarians" have such barbaric methods.

……

Bumbutai of the Borzigit family sat in the Kunning Palace as the empress dowager, twirling Buddhist beads in his hands quickly, muttering sutras in his mouth, and did not look at the slaves kneeling on the ground.After she calmed down her panic and anger, she finally asked, "Where are these people from? Have you found out?"

Sonny knelt at the front, this was his reward for being loyal to Fulin.Staring at the flat and seamless gold bricks on the ground, Old Bakshi replied: "Master, these people are white armored soldiers from the Bayara Camp of the South Army, and some family members have already recognized them."

Sony spoke vaguely, as if he had found out by himself.In fact, there is a stone tablet at the Jingguan site, which details the source and quantity of these heads, and even the birthplace and names of several Meile Zhangjing. Obviously, the other party was tortured before killing them.

The scheming Bakshi did not hand in the stele immediately, because the stele said that these people died in the battle of Tucheng in Tianjin and were gathered and wiped out by the first battalion of the second division of the Ming army.But if they were killed in battle, how did the Ming army know the origin and name of these Meile Zhangjing?Is there any Ba Yala who was captured and survived?Where is Baya Lazhang Jingobai?How did the Tucheng battle go?

A series of questions had to wait for Jierharan's reply before they could be integrated and sent to the empress dowager.Otherwise, if the empress dowager threw one at random, he would be speechless.

"How did these brave warriors end up like this?" Bumbutai would ask these questions even if he didn't know the existence of the stele.

Sony can only vaguely say that it was a death.

"Why?" Bumbutai explained his question more clearly: "Why did they do this?"

Sony was dripping with cold sweat, thinking to himself: How do I know why they did this?

"The Ming army smuggled the heads of the warriors here just to scare us?" Bumbutai asked.

The servants kneeling below kept silent, not daring to speak.

Seeing that the empress dowager was about to throw a tantrum, one of the group of slaves finally knelt up straight and said, "Slave Gang Lin, please empress dowager Rong Bing."

"Say!" Bumbutai's face was full of frost.

"I'm afraid it is indeed to scare our Qing Dynasty." Gang Lin, as one of the few Manchu scholars who are proficient in Han, has also heard a little about Jingguan.He said: "The original intention of Huaxia to build the Beijing Temple is to demonstrate martial arts and deter dissatisfied. These Beijing Temples are nothing more than saying that they can fight against the warriors of Zhushen; they can even enter and exit our army's defense line. It is like entering a land without people..."

"Enough!" Bumubutai slapped his hand wrapped with rosary beads on the Kang table heavily, the string was torn off by the sudden force, and the beads strung on it immediately scattered all over the floor.

Bumbutai's chest rose and fell violently, and he finally calmed down, and said hoarsely: "This is too scary, don't report it to the emperor yet."

How can anyone dare to tell the emperor about this?

Even an adult like Dorgon was so frightened that he lost his soul. He even invited lamas to the palace to chant sutras for several days but failed to bring his soul back.Let alone a seven-year-old child?

"Queen, now the regent Prince Dorgon can't get out of bed, and the lord can't govern himself. The servants dare to ask the queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain." Sonny kowtowed and made a suggestion to let Zhenghuang Qi take the power further.

"Is there a precedent in our country?" Bumbutai asked.

"Although our country doesn't have it, it does exist in the Ming Dynasty." Soni said, "It's all because the Supreme Being was young, so the queen mother is in charge of the government, and will return to the government when the Supreme Being is old."

Bumbutai still hesitated, and said, "What do the other courtiers say?"

"All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty wished that the Empress Dowager would be in charge of the government. They all said that the fortune of the country is not going well now, and that having a blessed person like the Empress Dowager in charge of the government can only promote the fortune of the country." Sony flattered casually.

Bumbutai glanced sideways at Su Mo'er beside him.Fangcai said: "That's the way to go. Let's wait until the regent is able to govern. I'm tired too, you all step down."

"Hey!" A group of ministers got up from the ground one after another, bowed and retreated.

Bumbutai waited until they all retreated.Just now he breathed a sigh of relief.Su Mo'er immediately stepped forward to beat the queen mother's leg, but remained silent.

"5000 people..." Bumbutai suddenly stopped Su Mo'er: "Go and call all the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and call 5000 people to show me."

Su Mo'er was taken aback for a moment, but still bowed and retreated.Instruct the maids of Kunning Palace to call for someone.

How did the eunuchs and maids who were called know what happened?He arrived at Kunning Palace anxiously, but found that the inside was already full of people, so he had to stand outside the blind door.They just stood still, but found that there was still a large group of people arriving behind, so they could only wait outside until the passing aisle was completely crowded.

Bumbutai just walked to the door and glanced at the full of servants in the yard.Putting his hand on his forehead, he went back to the Nuan Pavilion in the inner hall to rest.The fact that there were less than a hundred people in the yard already made her dizzy, and she had no concept of "five thousand heads".

Su Mo'er didn't know if the empress dowager had other orders, and she didn't dare to let these people go away, so she told them to stand in the cold wind for half an hour, and waited until the empress dowager said, "Why are they still here?" They went back to their respective places and went about their work.

If this were in the Ming Palace, the eunuchs would have been in trouble long ago.But now that the master of the Qing Dynasty has changed, who dares to make trouble?Either die with a stick, or sink into the lake, how can it be the current scene.

Thinking back when Wanli was drunk and asked a little fireman to sing an opera for him, the fireman said no and insisted on refusing to sing.Wanli cut off a strand of the fire man's sideburns with the strength of wine, and was told by Feng Bao to Queen Mother Li.Empress Dowager Li not only made Zhang Juzheng reprimand Wanli severely, but also said the words of abolishing the emperor.

This is the change of dynasty!

"From this point of view, the emperor of the Zhu family is really easy to serve." A young eunuch in a green robe whispered to his partner.

The partner was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't want to live anymore!"

"Where is anyone here now!" The young eunuch in green robe avoided his companion's hand and turned left and right. There were only dusty tables, chairs and laws around him, and no one was there.

"Walls have ears!" The partner's voice was lowered: "You don't want to live and die, don't implicate me!"

"Look at how careful you are." The green-robed eunuch didn't take it seriously, picked up a book, patted off the ashes on it, opened it casually, and glanced at it: "Emperor Chongzhen is so frugal, but he couldn't keep the Daming Shrine after all. I knew If so, it might as well be more relaxed."

His partner came over with a feather duster, tapped him on the arm, and said in horror: "I'm so tired of working! If people know that you can read, you will be kicked out at least, or you will be killed with a stick!"

"Oh, I don't want to serve you anymore!" The green-robed eunuch put down his books and started to work with his cleaning tools.

In this side hall that no one has visited for a long time, there is no extra sound.
