Chapter 103: Skinned and removed, executed in a hurry, executed immediately! (Part 2)
At the vegetable market execution ground, Fei Ju, the doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, had already received the news and was ready for execution.
The three executioners from the Ministry of Punishment were ready, and the leader was none other than Xie Xiaoyan, who had executed the Zhou brothers.
This man is a master of Ling Chi's techniques and is the perfect candidate to carry out Ling Chi's punishment.
In addition, Liu Cong, an acquaintance of the two of them, has been kneeling at the execution ground waiting for a long time.
When Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan arrived at the execution ground, Fei Ju immediately threw down his signal.
"Liu Zong, kill with the rod!"
"Wang Yuan, execute him late!"
The executioner in charge of the execution immediately began the execution after receiving the execution order.
Xie Xiaoyan stripped off Wang Yuan's clothes, tied him to a wooden stake, and strangled Wang Yuan's body with a fine fishing net.
"My Xie Xiaoyan's life is really worth it. I'm already three years behind the Count alone, hahahahaha."
Xie Xiaoyan laughed while executing the execution excitedly.
On the other side, the executioner responsible for Zhang Hai's execution couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
The punishment of skinning and pulling grass has been rarely used since the Hongwu period.
By the first year of Hongzhi, there were not many executioners who knew this craft.
The executioner's name was Han Baoniu. He was adopted as a disciple by an executioner from the Ministry of Punishment since he was a child, and he passed on his lifelong execution skills to him.
As the saying goes, love what you do, Han Baoniu has been exposed to punishment since he was a child, and gradually fell in love with the torture recorded in ancient books.
He has a lot of knowledge about grooming, weighing poles, removing intestines, leaving skin, cooking, cutting in half, cutting off feet, sawing, breaking vertebrae, filling with lead, etc.
But what fascinates him the most is the torture of skinning and pulling grass.
Unfortunately, because no one has been tortured for so long, this torture technique has gradually been lost.
And Han Baoniu did have some talent. He just relied on the descriptions in the book and the practice of slaughtering pigs and sheep in private to learn this craft.
But what made him regretful was that even if he learned this craft that was on the verge of being lost, there was no use for it.
And this regret, today, he can finally end with his own hands.
Han Baoniu tied Zhang Hai to the torture rack, holding a sharp knife in his hand, and executed Zhang Hai according to the method he had figured out.
For a while, the screams of Wang Yuan and Zhang Hai could not be heard without stopping.
"Ahhhh!!! Kill me! Kill me quickly!!!"
"I can't stand it anymore!!! Please kill me! Kill me!!!"
"Ahhhh!!! It hurts!! It hurts!!!"
"..."
Compared with Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan who screamed for a long time, Liu Cong, who only barked a few times, was extremely happy.
His punishment was to be killed with a stick. After several blows with the stick, Liu Zong could only grunt twice at the beginning, but then he would have more air coming out and less air coming in.
With only a dozen strokes, Liu Zong was already dead.
Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan, who were being tortured, were extremely envious of the dead Liu Cong.
How they hope that the person lying on the ground and being killed with a rod at this moment is themselves!
……
While Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan were being tortured, Fan Zi from Xichang was already on his way to ransack their homes.
Wang Yuan’s home had already been ransacked, but this time the members of the Wang brothers and three clans were to be taken to the execution ground for execution.
As for Liu Cong's wife, children, and children, they had already been killed by Wang Yuan when Xichang Fanzi found them.
This time the West Factory is mainly copying Zhang Hai’s family, and Zhang Hai’s family is in the capital.
Xichang is extremely skilled at confiscating homes. He first arrests people, then checks the finances and transfers internal funds.
After a set of procedures, another third-grade official was reduced to ashes.
Zhang Hai's wife, children, and children, the young women were brought into Jiaofangsi, the rest of the elderly were demoted to slaves, and the men were demoted to military status and sent to border towns to guard the border.
When there are many wars on the border, there is a great need for some criminals to serve as cannon fodder.
On the execution ground, members of the three Wang clans have been brought.
In front of Wang Yuan, one by one their heads were displayed.
Wang Yuan was frightened and extremely sad!
The Jinghai Wang family, which had been domineering for more than twenty years, was completely wiped out on this day!
The most terrifying thing about Ling Chi and Peiping Jiicao is that their execution times are very long.
It takes two or three days to complete, and during this period, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment will also feed the tortured people rice porridge to prevent them from starving to death.
The next day, Zhang Hai's skin was completely removed, and he finally died.
On the third day, Wang Yuan, who had been stabbed for 3,600 times, finally died.
On the fourth day, a scarecrow made of Zhang Hai’s skin appeared at the door of Shuntian Mansion Yamen.
Use this scarecrow to warn all officials in the capital not to be corrupt and pervert the law again!
……
Turpan Basin.
Xu Chang led an army of 130,000 troops and marched firmly towards Gaochang City.
"Governor Xu, this place is still three hundred miles away from Gaochang City. Gaochang City has been fortified and clear, and there is nothing around."
Xu Chang ordered with a cold face: "I understand. Continue to march for a hundred miles."
"Yes!" The scouts took the order, and the Ming expeditionary army was still pressing towards Gaochang City!
Since Ahema Khan massacred the entire Ming Dynasty people in Hamiwei, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Turpan Khanate has been at an everlasting relationship.
And Xuchang has received two orders from Zhu Youtang from Ma Jinzhong.
First, Ming Dynasty did not accept any peace negotiations, only the head of the Mongol Khan.
Second, all men in the Turpan Khanate who are higher than the table will be killed!
Special note: The desk is placed upside down on the ground.
With Zhu Youtang's order, Xuchang has the confidence to completely eliminate the Turpan Khanate!
Gaochang City was originally a place for the Uighurs, but after Genghis Khan established the Mongol Khanate, the Gaochang Uighurs took the initiative to surrender to the Mongol Khanate.
So from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Turpan became the territory of the Mongols, and its main ethnic group changed from the Uighurs to the Mongols.
The Eastern Chagatai Khanate has cultivated Gaochang for many years. Ever since Ahema Khan led his troops to split from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and establish the Turpan Khanate, they have used Gaochang City as their tent.
Gaochang is Aheimahan’s last line, and he has to defend this place at all costs!
Since Ahemakhan led his team back to Gaochang City seven days ago, he has been sending people to find out the location of the Ming army.
I hope the Ming army can change its mind and withdraw from the grassland.
But what disappointed him was that every time the scouts brought back news, it was that the Ming army had moved dozens of miles closer to Gaochang City...
Aheimahan was so excited Driven crazy!
They were the only ones who attacked the Ming Dynasty. How could there be any reason for the Ming Dynasty to attack their city? !
It's not that the Ming Dynasty's army didn't have the strength to attack Mongolian cities.
But these Mongol Khanates did not have the concept of a city before.
They themselves are nomadic people, living with water and grass and not building cities at all.
If the Ming Dynasty wants to attack the city, it must have a city to attack.
But the nomadic situation of the Turpan Khanate changed under the influence of Yunusi Khan.
Because Yu Nusihan himself is an out-and-out urbanite.
He likes city life very much and has settled in many cities.
When his father Waisi Khan died, Yunusi Khan and his younger brother stopped fighting for the throne.
Ye Xianbuhua adheres to the traditional nomadic tradition and is supported by the Duglat Ministry.
Yunusi has a close relationship with the Timur Empire and tends to move the political center westward to areas with developed agricultural civilization.
So the Eastern Chagatai Khanate split for the first time, and Yunusi Khan established a settled Turpan Khanate.
Subsequently, Yunusi Khan defeated Yesenbuhua's son and reunified the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
After the death of Yu Nusi Khan, Aheima Khan and his brother Mahamu Khan started fighting for the throne again.
In the end, Mahamu inherited the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and made Aksu the capital.
Ahem Khan once again split from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and established the Turpan Khanate, with its capital in Gaochang.
And this must all come down. Although life is much more comfortable than in the nomadic period, it also brings disaster of extinction.
For example, right now, the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops are approaching the border. Before this, they had packed up their tents and ran away with their cattle and sheep.
But now, hundreds of thousands of tribesmen in Gaochang City have food, drinks and supplies all in Gaochang City.
He can't run away, he must defend Gaochang City!
"Great Khan, I have just received news that the Ming army is less than three hundred miles away from Gaochang. In three or four days at most, the Ming army will arrive at Gaochang!"
Yalan ran into the king's tent sweating profusely, looking very anxious.
No one from the Turpan Khanate who invaded Hamiwei at that time thought that the Ming Dynasty would pursue them this time.
Even though they had returned to Turpan, the Ming army still did not let them go.
Ahei Mahan was so confused that he shook his head repeatedly: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Yalan asked: "Khan, what should we do?"
"Should we fight or make peace?"
Ahei Mahan rubbed his temples painfully, and after thinking for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Whether it is war or peace, we must be fully prepared. !”
“Go to the city immediately to summon all the clan members, everyone under the age of fourteen. All the men on the battlefield should prepare their war horses and scimitars and be ready to fight at any time."
"At the same time, let the women who have no fighting ability slaughter cattle and sheep to make military rations."
"And then let others. I wrote a letter and sent it to the generals of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"The letter said that as long as the Ming army retreats, I, Ahema Khan, am willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and send 10,000 cattle and sheep to show my sincerity."
"And from now on, the Turpan Khanate is willing to become a vassal and pay tribute every year. Daming."
Aheima's face was gloomy, and he almost said these words through gritted teeth.
In their view, being a vassal to the Ming Dynasty and paying tribute every year is already the biggest compromise.
Even Yalan felt heavy: "Did the Khan tolerate too much with this move?"
"It doesn't matter, the Ming court values face most, I will give him this face."
Aheimahan's face was full of gloom: "The Ming court will definitely not be able to maintain such a large expeditionary army for a long time. ”
"As soon as the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops, let's settle our old and new grudges together!"
"The Great Khan is wise, I will do it right now!"
Yalan stroked her chest and bowed in salute, then walked out The king's tent went to carry out the order of Ahemakhan.
