King Chuang entered Beijing and Ma Yun searched for treasures

Today there is Ma Yun's "Taobao", and in ancient times there is the "Taowu" of the king.

It is said that in 1644 AD, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the Chongzhen Emperor hanged the coal mountain, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, only a few people committed suicide and martyrdom, the vast majority immediately defected, scrambling to express their willingness to submit to the king and serve Dashun, and Zhou Zhong even wrote out in the persuasion table the frustrating flattery of "the only husband is the head, and the four seas return to the heart".

However, in the face of thousands of Ming officials who openly expressed their willingness to submit, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was very disgusted. He said, "This generation is so unjust, and the world is not in chaos?" These people are greedy and perverted, and they are all gods and horses!

At this time, the Dashun regime was just short of money, so Li Zicheng, out of both righteous indignation and practical needs, ordered these Ming officials to pay fines to pay military salaries; the notorious corrupt officials were even more severely tortured and forced out of floating wealth. Soon after, he issued an order to the general Liu Zongmin: "The sinners are killed, and the greedy rehabilitated are punished", so the forced donation suddenly turned into a large-scale persecution and abuse of the officials and gentry, and it is said that about a thousand scholars and doctors were beaten to death.

Soon, looting of officials and gentry began to affect the common people. When a general grabs money from an official, the soldiers will make a fortune to the people. Dashun soldiers formed gangs, broke into the house, hanged the landlord, and robbed civilian houses, and it was still wave after wave. After the previous group has been robbed, the group that comes in behind often has to "dig" the things that were missed in the front again and pick up the good ones. To describe this kind of combing their hair and looking for lice-like robbery, Beijing citizens quickly coined a term called "Taowu". In fact, before, when the Huangchao troops entered Chang'an at the end of the Tang Dynasty, they had exactly the same "taowu"; after that, it was a similar practice to engage in land reform and dig up landlords' floating wealth.

The king's team, starting from the robbery, the military discipline was very bad, and soon evolved into rampage in the street market, whipping passers-by, and even violating the women of the Qinglou and insulting the women of the good family. Unfortunately, the king "went to Beijing to catch the examination", handed in the white paper, and lost the hearts of the people. The military master Song Xiance realized that sooner or later this would end, and the regime would not last long, and he said desperately to the king, "The eighteen sons of the truth, do you have to be fair? "The whole world is yours, you still burn and loot, are you sick?" He sighed alone, "My Lord will soon be the Son of Heaven." " Mud can't get on the wall! "

In fact, Li Zicheng also opposed robbery and infringement on the people, the problem was that he could not control his troops. When the Da Shun army was creating chaos in the Capital Division, he gathered the generals and said to them, "Why don't you help me be a good emperor?" The generals replied, "The emperor's power belongs to you, the power of plunder belongs to me, you eat meat, I drink soup, and we will do our own thing."

Dozens of days later, Li Zicheng was defeated at Shanhaiguan, and the Dashun army carried out another burning and looting of Beijing, and then fled westward.

When King Chuang entered Beijing, he originally intended to be Tang Taizong Li Shimin, but he did not expect a toss, and eventually became a yellow nest!
