This year was a drought, and the soldiers under Fu Deng could not grab the grain, and they were so hungry that they were unwilling to fight with them.
Fu Deng came up with an inhumane solution, which was to call on the soldiers to eat human flesh. He waved his arms high:
"You get up in the morning to fight with me, and you have meat to eat at night, are you still afraid of going hungry?"
The Book of Jin records that Deng, on behalf of Wei Ping, was a special commander in conquest. It was the time when the people were hungry, and the Road and the people looked at each other, and they killed thieves in every battle, called "cooked food", which is called "Ru waited for the war, and the twilight was full of flesh, so why worry about hunger!" ”
The soldiers were all from nomadic peoples, uncivilized, and when they saw meat to eat, they competed to eat it wherever it was animal or human flesh. As a result, his soldiers all ate with large waists and round waists, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and they quickly destroyed Shi Hou zhao. ---- "The multitude obeys, eats the flesh of the dead, and fights with strength and strength" (Book of Jin). ）
When the Founding Emperor of Later Qin heard about this, he hurriedly summoned his subordinate Shuode from The Land of Fu Deng, shook his hand and said to him, "If Ru does not come, he will be eaten by Yu Deng." ”
In 330 AD, Shi Le, taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Former Zhao, officially became emperor after annexing the four prefectures of Si, Yu, Xu, and Yan, and established the famous "Beast Dynasty" in history.
After Shi Le's death, a serious gap arose between his nephew Shi Hu and his successor crown prince Shi Hong. Shi Hu was known for his cruelty, and with great contempt for the new emperor Shi Hong, he joined forces with Xianbei, deposed Emperor Shi Hong, called himself "Heavenly King", and completely seized the power of Later Zhao.
After Shi Hu came to power, he completely exposed his cruel and greedy nature. He recruited the people to expand the palace and built nine palaces for the placement of harem concubines.
On the one hand, he recruited beautiful women from all over the world, and also cultivated the skills of harem concubines to ride and shoot to meet his strange quirks.
Many women who did not want to enter the palace to accompany them were brutally killed by Shi Hu's army.
Prince Shi Yi was very much favored by his father Shi Hu, but his brutality and fornication were even worse than his father's.
According to historical records, the prince had the "quirk" of beheading the people's daughters snatched from the harem, and he also liked to pass the decapitated heads to the ministers for them to look at. For the body, Shi Yu cooked it in the name of "pity".
A mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Ishizu is cruel and soon clashes with his father, the two turn against each other, Shi Hao is exterminated by his father, and after the family of twenty-six people is killed, they are buried in a large coffin.
After Shi Xuan's death, Shi Hu changed Shi Xuan to the position of crown prince, but soon the father and son fell in love, and Shi Xuan was pierced by his father with an iron hook, his tongue was split, his pupils bled, and his hands and feet were cut off and he died.
This is still true for his own son, and Shi Hu's treatment of ordinary people can be imagined!
In order to fight the war, he not only levied heavy taxes on the people, but also expropriated all the men in the people's homes, resulting in a desolate scene of "no one cultivating the fields of a hundred acres" in the Central Plains.
It was during the reign of Shi Hu that there was a tragedy in human history - "two-legged sheep"!
The two-legged sheep does not refer to sheep, but to people who are eaten as food in bloody scenes, which is a derogatory term for Han Chinese women by ethnic minorities. They recruited women snatched from the north into the barracks, and those with outstanding postures served as military prostitutes, and those with inferior appearances served as human flesh.
When Shi Hu was in power, the people were not happy, and the soldiers were unable to do anything, so they had to cook the people.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a book called "Chicken Rib Compilation", which was specially recorded: "The old thin man is called 'Rao Put The Fire', the woman is young, the name is 'no envious sheep', the child is called 'and bone rotten', and the common name is 'two-legged sheep'." ”
And bone rot! Doesn't that sound scary?
Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica, Human Flesh": "Ancient and modern chaotic soldiers eat human flesh, which is called thinking of meat, or two-legged sheep." ”
This is the sadness of the five nonsense, and it is also the result of the barbaric challenge to civilization that no one wants to see. This absurdity of returning to Ru Mao to drink blood continued to be staged until the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Xun wrote in the "Quasi-Wind and Moon Talk": "Huang Chao rebelled and used people as food, but it is not right to say that he eats people, and the things he eats are called 'two-legged sheep'. ”
When I read Mr. Lu Xun as a teenager, I always felt that he was too exaggerated and too sharp, such as the "crazy man" said:
I opened the history and looked it up, and there was no age in this history, and the words "benevolence and morality" were written on each page of the crooked and slanted page. I couldn't sleep horizontally, and I looked carefully in the middle of the night before I could see the words in the cracks, and the two words "eat people" were written all over the book. ”
Later, I learned that the history of feudal society for thousands of years is really a history of cannibalism!
In 349 AD, the tyrannical Shi Hu finally came to the end of his life. However, in the same year of Shi Hu's death, the Yu general Jian Jian (苻健) took the opportunity to seize the Guanzhong region and establish Former Qin. The people sent away the tiger on the front foot, and the wolf on the back foot!
By the time of Fu Deng, Former Qin had already experienced five emperors, who regarded killing people as mowing grass and cannibalism as a common thing.
