In the late Qing Dynasty, the most famous general of the Eight Banners, can be said to be non-monk Greenqin, which can be regarded as the last star of the Eight Banners Army. This man fought bravely but bravely. Judging from the record, it is really humiliating. In the Second Opium War, the Anglo-French coalition forces approached Beijing, and Senggelinqin led the Eight Banner Army, which was ten times larger than the enemy, to meet the battle. In the end, the defeat was great, the whole army was destroyed, and the Anglo-French coalition army fought to the Xianfeng Emperor in Beijing and ran to Chengde, and finally died of illness directly.
However, although this foreign war was not good, he was very cruel internally, especially the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this famous general was also known as the butcher General Ling Chi at that time. Treated the Taiping Army to the extreme. When the Taiping Army was captured, they were basically executed by lingchi, and most of the time the taiping army prisoners were collectively killed and massacred. After attacking Tianjing, Anqing, and Wuchang, he led his army to plunder and slaughter the city. It can be said that it is a completely handsome hand face. In this way, the Qing court also regarded it as a pillar of the state, and was a famous general in the world and was crowned as a prince.
However, the so-called first fierce warrior and famous general of the late Qing Dynasty died at the hands of a 16-year-old teenager. In 1865, after the qing dynasty destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it continued to encircle and suppress the remnants of the forces, twisting the army of Zhang Zongyu. Zhang Zongyu can be said to be brave and strategic, using the lure of the enemy to go deeper, attracting the monk Greenqin to chase wildly for 15 days and cannot get off the horse. Finally, an ambush was set up in Caozhou, Shandong, and the monk Gelinqin was indeed successful, and after being defeated, he led the remnants of the army to flee to the Wujiadian area, where he fell into the wheat field because of his injuries.
At this time, the young hero appeared, this 16-year-old teenager named Zhang Pixiu, a native of Woyang, Anhui, had followed the Taiping Army since childhood. At that time, he was ordered to search for the monk Greenqin, and the young man suddenly saw a man in a yellow coat lying on the ground in a wheat field. Zhang Pixiu didn't say a word and went up with a knife, hacked the monk Greenqin to death, and took off his clothes to go back to ask for credit.
When the news of the death of the monk Gelinqin reached Beijing, the Qing court was shaken and mourned for the loss of the pillar of the country. Moreover, the Tongzhi Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi personally mourned and made them worthy of the Taimiao Temple. At the same time, we must catch the murderer and severely punish him. Originally, Zhang Pixiu had abandoned the army and returned to his hometown at that time, and he used the reward money to buy land and land, opened a grain shop, changed his name and surname, and lived a very good life. But the so-called "if you don't die, you won't die!"
In 1873, this Zhang Pixiu drank too much once and bragged to those around him about his feat of killing the monk Greenqin with a knife at the age of 16. Unexpectedly, Zhang Pixiu was arrested and taken to Jinan, Shandong Province, where Ling Chi was executed and cut more than 1,000 knives, when he was only 24 years old, very tragic!
