Earlier, we mentioned that the earth-shattering massacre caused by the Qing army entering the customs, "Ten Days in Yangzhou", was a heinous crime committed by the Qing army in the land of the Han people. What is even more frightening is that the massacre caused by the Qing army entering the customs at that time was far more than this, and today we want to talk about another tragic case with the same name as the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" - the Three Massacres of Jiading. The leader who led the Qing army to slaughter the city in the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" was Dolgun's younger brother Duoduo, who was also notorious for the "Ten Days of Yangzhou", and it is not known whether he had committed too many sins, and Duoduo died of a violent illness in his thirties.
And li chengdong, the executioner who made the "Three Massacres of Jiading", certainly did not have a good end, but his method of death was extremely ridiculous, and he actually fell off his horse on the way across the river and was drowned. Although the number of people slaughtered in the "Three Massacres of Jiading" is not as many as in the "Ten Days of Yangzhou", Li Chengdong is more disgraceful than Duoduo. Dodo was a foreigner, so it was not surprising that the lives of the Han chinese were treated like grass. However, Li Chengdong, as a general who descended to the Qing Dynasty, raised the butcher's knife three times to his compatriots, and he was a true and genuine national sinner.
Many of the generals of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but most of them still had residual feelings for their compatriots, although there were also some who helped the Qing Dynasty attack the Southern Ming army or suppress the rebellion, but at least they fought the army, and Li Chengdong was shameless enough to attack the people. At that time, the Qing Dynasty saw that the overall situation had been decided, so it rushed to implement the "shaving order" and wanted to completely conquer the Han people, and Dolgun ordered "leave no hair on the head, keep the hair without the head", as soon as this order was issued, it aroused the fierce resistance of many Han people, and there was an uprising army in Jiading City.
The Qing court ordered Li Chengdong to lead troops to suppress it, and after the Qing army captured Jiading, Li Chengdong ordered a massacre, and the body was blocked even by the river, and Li Chengdong also snatched countless gold and silver treasures. After Li Chengdong's army left, the rebel army occupied Jiading again, and Li Chengdong led his army to fight back and then slaughtered. Soon after, Wu Zhifan rebelled against the Qing, and Li Chengdong once again attacked Jiading, and the massacre resumed, known in history as the "Three Massacres of Jiading".
Li Chengdong did not have national righteousness in his heart, and if he had milk, he was a mother, and as long as there were interests to be made, he did not care about the Han people. After that, because he could not get the reuse of the Qing Dynasty, he defected to the Southern Ming, such a shameless villain, much more hateful than the Qing army. It is ridiculous that after his death, the Southern Ming court actually gave him the title of "Loyal Martyr".
