Chapter 868

Hearing Shangguan Xuanhong's confident words, the corners of his heart raised slightly, "if you can, you can use the top ten torture of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"

"What are the top ten torture in Manchu and Qing Dynasty?" Shangguan Xuanhong asked in wonder!

After thinking for a while, he said, "the top ten torture in the Qing Dynasty include: peeling, waist cutting, car cracking, all five punishments, lingchi, hanging head, cooking, palace punishment, cutting off punishment, inserting needles, burying alive, poison, stick punishment, sawing, cutting vertebrae, filling lead, playing pipa, pulling intestines and riding a wooden donkey.

Peeling

When peeling, the skin on the back is divided into two parts by a knife under the spine. Slowly use the knife to separate the skin and muscles, and tear them apart like a bat spreading its wings. In this way, the stripped person can't stop breathing until more than a day. The most difficult thing is fat, because there is a pile of oil between skin and muscle, which is difficult to separate[ 4]

There is also a stripping method. I don't know how reliable it is. The method is to bury people in the soil, expose only one head, cut a cross with a knife on the top of the head, open the scalp, and pour silver into it. Because the mercury is very heavy, it will pull the muscles away from the skin. People buried in the soil will writhe in pain and can't break free. Finally, the body will jump out of the mouth above the head, leaving only one skin in the soil

Wei Zhongxian likes to pour asphalt on the victim's body and beat it with a hammer after condensation. Asphalt and human skin fall off together, and a complete human skin is obtained by washing off the asphalt.

After the skin is peeled off, it is made into two drums and hung at the gate of the Yamen to show jiongjie. The earliest peeling was after death, and later developed into survival.

Ten major torture in Manchu and Qing Dynasties

Waist cutting, as the name suggests, is that the executioner cuts the prisoner's waist in two with a heavy axe. Because the waist cut is to cut a person from the middle, and the main organs are in the upper part of the body, the prisoner will not die at once. After the cut, he will be sober and will die after a long time. During Shang Yang's reform, it was clearly stipulated that if a family committed a crime and the neighbors did not report it, they would be beheaded.

Some people think that Fang Xiaoru was beheaded, but in fact he was executed by lingchi.

It is said that one of Bao Qingtian's three choppers is used to cut the waist.

Car crack

That is, the five horses are divided into five parts. It is very simple, that is, put a rope around the victim's head and limbs, run in five directions by five fast horses, and tear the person into five pieces, because the head falls first, followed by the two arms. When only the legs are connected to the trunk, the tension will break one leg, and the trunk will stay on the other leg. However, according to the understanding, it is not necessarily that the limbs will be broken from the established parts, because the wrists and ankles are much more fragile than the roots. I remember Shang Yang was punished by a car crack, but after he was defeated and died, his body was brought back to the place to be exposed to the public.

It takes a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, not to mention pulling. The sufferings of the tortured person can be imagined. By the time it is torn open, I'm afraid the tortured person will no longer feel pain. The pain is when you are pulling. The blood splashed out is the horror.

The top ten torture punishments in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties

Beheading, cutting off, cutting hands, digging eyes and cutting ears, that is, to "break into eight pieces", usually after killing people, people's heads, hands and feet are cut off, and then the trunk is cut into three pieces. After the death of Han Gao, he took his pet lady, his wife *, and cut off his hands and feet. He cut off his nose, ears, tongue, eyes and dug in a pigsty. And asked his son Huidi Liu Ying to see it together. As a result, the weak Liu Ying was frightened and never recovered.

put to death by dismembering the body.

The earliest is to kill people and then chop them into meat sauce, which is called "Xi". Those who have been punished remember Zilu and Boyi Kao, the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou.

Later, the development was more elaborate, and the purpose was to make the prisoner suffer the greatest pain. Therefore, it was not only to impose punishment when he was alive, but also to require the victim to receive how many knives before he died.

It is said that in the later years, each lingchi had to be performed by two people. Starting from the foot, a total of 1000 knives had to be cut, that is, 1000 pieces of meat had to be cut before the prisoner was allowed to die. It is said that if the prisoner breaks his breath before cutting a thousand knives, the executor will also be punished.

Develop into "the art of death penalty"

The most famous person subjected to this punishment was the evil eunuch Liu Jin of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Liu Jin died before he was cut for three days and the number of knives was only 3357. Because he was cut for three days and 3600 knives, it is said that even the executioner was punished. Liu Jin drank some porridge after being cut the first day and continued to be punished the next day.

This is one of the official punishments in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Fang Xiaoru of the Ming Dynasty did not respect Zhu Di's will and was scolded late（ Finally, the ten families were destroyed! Originally, there were only nine nationalities. Zhu Di killed some of Fang Xiaoru's students and friends.)

Top ten torture in Manchu and Qing Dynasties

Hanging is a common penalty in foreign countries.

The hanging of the Chinese people is to hang with a bow string... That is, put the bow around the victim's neck, the bow string is facing forward, and the executioner starts to rotate the bow behind. The bow turns tighter and tighter, and the victim's anger becomes less and less, and finally dies... Yue Fei's father and son died in the storm Pavilion (because he is a meritorious hero and can't be beheaded, The king of Guangxi in exile in the late Ming Dynasty hanged Wu Sangui himself

cook

Use a large urn, surrounded by red charcoal fire, and then put the prisoner in. No matter how stubborn people are, they can't stand this taste.

The allusion is that Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, two ministers of Wu Zetian, were famous cruel officials at that time, and thousands of people died unjustly under their hands. Once, Zhou Xing was secretly told to conspire with Qiu Shenji. Wu Zetian sent a handsome minister to try the case and set a deadline to try the result. Lai Junchen had a good relationship with Zhou Xingping and felt very difficult. He thought hard and came up with a plan.

One day, Lai Junchen deliberately invited Zhou Xing. They drank and chatted. Lai Junchen pretended to be worried

try what you have devised against others

Rong said to Zhou Xing, "Alas! Interrogation of prisoners is always fruitless. Please consult my brother. I wonder if there are any new tricks? " Zhou Xing has always studied the instruments of torture, so he said proudly, "I just invented a new method. I'm not afraid that the prisoners will not recruit. Use a large urn, surrounded by red charcoal fire, and then put the prisoner in. No matter how stubborn a person is, he can't stand the taste. "

After hearing this, Lai Junchen ordered his men to bring a big urn and burn it red with charcoal fire according to the method Zhou Xing said just now. Lai Junchen suddenly stood up, sank his face and said to Zhou Xing, "someone accused you of rebellion. The Empress Dowager ordered me to interrogate you. If you don't confess honestly, I have to invite you into this big urn!"

Zhou Xing was frightened and knew that he was doomed, so he had to bow down and plead guilty [5].

Palace punishment

Sima Qian was executed in the palace, and then wrote the immortal work historical records. Only then could he write such a sentence as "being a minister of the boudoir" in the book of reporting to Ren Shaoqing.

So if you want to be a eunuch, you'd better castrate it when you're young. It's much more dangerous when you're old. This punishment is often offset by the death penalty by the nobility.
