He executed more than 10,000 bandits and kept one side safe, so why were the people so angry and fired several shots at him?
There is no absolute distinction between good and bad people in the world, but only in what they do. Everything is two-sided, bad people have good times, and good people sometimes do creepy bad things. But no matter what good or bad things he has done, there is a cycle of cause and effect in the end, and he is rewarded and punished as he deserves.
Chen Zhaotang, who had served to ensure the safety of the people on one side, suppressed countless bandits, was praised by people, and finally was executed by the people with several shots, why did he become like this?
The road to officialhood is too bumpy
For Chen Zhaotang, the road to becoming an official was extremely bumpy.
Chen Zhaotang, born in the Chen clan of Guiyang, is a local famous family. His father, Chen Shijie, was a famous courtier of the Qing court and made many contributions in education and foreign affairs. Therefore, Chen Shijie attaches great importance to his son's education, and several sons of the Chen family have also achieved great achievements, and under the brilliance of many brothers, Chen is much more discolored.
Chen is knowledgeable, has traveled many times to study, is tireless in learning, but he has always failed to pass the examination and cannot enter the career.
He participated in many scientific expeditions without success, and his father donated him a five-pin official.
But before he could go to the post, his mother died, and he had to go to the official to keep filial piety for three years, and when the three-year period expired, his father died again, and he needed to keep filial piety for another three years.
For Chen Zhaotang, who has great ambitions, this is really a twist and turn for the official, and it is extremely unlucky.
He rose to fame by killing bandits
After the expiration of his filial piety, he returned to the official arena.
After taking office, he built the Pingyun Academy and bought books for the students in the academy at his own expense.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, bandits were particularly rampant, and they did evil everywhere, and Chen general Zhang Laoguangzi was a bandit
Beheading for public display,
Deter other bandits.
Chen was therefore recognized by his superiors and transferred to other regions for reuse.
After taking office in Gyeongju, he personally led the army to pursue and capture many local bandits.
Chen was rewarded for his exploits in suppressing bandits,
Fame rises, finally
Official to the prefect of Chaozhou.
Cheng also Defeated Xiao He
On the one hand, it is the incorruptibility that convinces the thieves, but on the other hand, it is the tyranny that regards human life as grass. From civilian to military attaché, from Zhixian to the commander of the First Army.
Later, for the sake of merit, he asked the local gentlemen to also catch the bandits, but how could they catch the well-bred and superior?
But under Chen's policy, they had to take someone else to count. These people were sent to Chen Zhaotang and were directly executed without the opportunity to plead themselves.
At this time, Chen was a bit caught in the fire, and in the three years in Huizhou, he killed nearly three thousand people.
In 1911, Wuchang launched an uprising, and Chen's Chaozhou was soon occupied by revolutionary troops, and the rebel army quickly captured Chen, and the notorious Chen was eventually arrested and shot.
On his deathbed, he uttered a last word."
I do not die of kings, not of kingdoms, but of cause and effect
"。
Chen was loved by the people to such a situation, or because of the inferiority of self-confidence.
He has repeatedly failed, his brothers have done something, he is eager to prove himself, he is desperate to show his fists. In this case, he had forgotten his original intention as an official.
Ancient Cloud"
Water can carry boats and can also overturn boats
He initially executed bandits and kept the people safe, and was a hero praised by everyone, but later he was brutal, killed innocents indiscriminately, and eventually died tragically at the hands of the people.
"
A wicked man is his own hell
Chen's punishment is undoubtedly the best proof that the Qing Dynasty is coming to an end, and it is also the karma of Chen's life as a cocoon.
Chen's fate is a wake-up call for the officialdom, and if he harms the interests of the people for his own sake, he will bury himself.
