This is a sad book of observations, and the text is unusually simple.
01
It's a very old book.
The paper was dark yellow and the pages were mutilated.
Judging from the font, it is obviously handwritten.
The author's name is Fu Diji.
He was a reader in the countryside of Jianyang, Sichuan, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1644, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army entered Sichuan.
Fu Diji's poor, simple and peaceful youth years ended in an instant.
Began a turbulent, painful and torturous escape career.
By the time the chaotic world came to an end, Fu Diji had also entered old age.
He wrote a book about the chaotic era in Sichuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that he personally experienced, named "The Chronicle of Mr. Wuma", and left it to future generations as a family memorial.
The book never came out until it was discovered by the land reform team members, and it was only seen again.
A chaotic memory that has been sealed for three hundred years has also been revealed...
In June 1644, the eighteen-year-old Fu Diji was studying at home.
Suddenly, the news came that Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army was approaching Chongqing, and all the women in Jianzhou City had fled.
In July, Chongqing was breached.
Soon, the Great Western Army came to Fu Diji's hometown.
Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the Great Western Army, dreamed of using Sichuan as the base to claim the title of emperor and the founding of the country
All the captives had their right hands chopped off, and there were screams, cries, and pain all over the place.
This gave the young FuDiji the first terrifying memory.
In 1645, the situation began to get worse and worse.
The Great Western Army plundered everywhere, and the gentry and people from all over the country rose up to resist.
An even bigger massacre began.
Outside the city, many people have gathered along the river.
It was dark, and fear hung over these hungry and cold people.
"You are young, maybe they will pull you to be a soldier, and there is still a way to live." We are old, I'm afraid we can't live! ”
The next day, the young men were pulled to replenish the ranks.
Then an order was given, the slaughter began, and the river turned red.
The Manchu Qing entered the pass, and the king's army was defeated,
Sichuan, Hubei, and Hunan became a ruin and full of dead bodies
In 1647, the Great Western Army was defeated and Zhang Xianzhong died
A group of people had to flee in order to escape the Manchu Iron Horse
On the road
One man carried a package full of flesh
That's human flesh!!
The price is "one or two silver and five catties".
That's the price of the troubled world!
"The infantrymen are all from the north of Sichuan, and they will search for grain in our place day and night, hang and burn people, release them when they have grain, and burn them to death without grain."
Where is Hell?
Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, Sichuan's Death, Huguang Filling River
This is the life of the troubled people!
