We all know that there were all kinds of cruel punishments in ancient times.
Just as it sounds, it feels horrible, let alone use these punishments on oneself.
Countless people will feel fortunate that we were born in China in the new era.
No need to endure those horrible tortures.
The punishment we know most often, the death penalty for delay.
Ling Chi is its more official term, in fact, it is what ordinary people call "a thousand cuts".
As the name suggests, as its name suggests.
It is to scrape the flesh on the human body layer by layer with a knife and finally die.
This torture sounds terrible, but it is much more than this terrible torture.
In history, we all know the great hero Yue Fei, who was tortured a hundred times more painful when he was wrongfully killed than Ling Chi.
So what kind of torture did Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, undergo before he died? What unknown secrets are hidden behind Yue Fei's death?
First, in addition to Ling Chi, even more terrible torture actually happened to Yue Fei
When we watch costume dramas, we will always see those prisoners suffering various cruel punishments.
The audience couldn't help but make us look at it through the screen.
The punishment was these tortures that the rulers of the time ordered in order to protect their position.
China has gone through so many years, and dynasties are constantly changing.
Civilization has been constantly developing, and many feudal systems have been slowly eliminated.
A lot of torture has also slowly disappeared into the long river of history with the development of the river.
But there is one form of torture that has been used by successive rulers and is fascinated by it.
It is Ling Chi, and it is almost the cruelest punishment in ancient times.
Why did these rulers of ancient times like this torture so much?
It may be that the shock of this punishment is too great, and it makes many people sound creepy.
This torture generally refers to scraping off the prisoner's flesh layer by layer with a knife, and finally causing the prisoner to die of pain.
Ling Chi said that the torture took almost a day or two, and even several days without waiting.
I really dare not imagine how much pain the prisoner has to endure during this torture.
According to historical records, Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, died as a result of this torture.
He was almost the longest tortured man at the time, and it is said that he endured more than 3,000 knives at that time.
Ling Chi's biggest pain point is that it will not kill at once, but the knife avoids the key point.
It is to keep the prisoner awake all the time, and then torture it little by little.
I really dare not imagine how much psychological fear and pain Ling Chi's torture brings to people.
In this way, the prisoner has been slowly experiencing the pain of this punishment, which should be the cruelty of this punishment.
Just looking at the text, we are already shocked.
Before Yue Fei died, he was forced by Qin Hui to use various tortures to force him to confess.
Among the tortures he undergot, one punishment was much more terrible than Ling Chi.
That is "Draponica".
So how terrifying is this legendary "draped majin" punishment? What kind of punishment is it?
This punishment was handed down during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
It is generally used when privately and secretly executing prisoners, and there is little mention of it in the canon.
However, in the rare records, we can learn that "cloth and hemp" is also called "pickpocketing".
It is implemented by boiling fish bladders and raw silk in a fire into hot glue.
The hot glue is then put on the rag strips, and then the hot glue-stained rag strips are placed on the prisoner's body.
When all these rag strips were on the prisoner's body, several people worked together to pull hard.
Pull these rag strips off the prisoner's body.
These swim bladders are extremely sticky, especially when they are glued with hot glue.
Almost as sticky as the current 502 strong glue.
If something sticks to something, it's almost hard to separate again.
So at this time, the rag strip stuck to the person, and trying to tear it off was almost tearing off the flesh on the prisoner.
Listening to this description, we already have that picture in our heads.
Such torture is simply like peeling the flesh and skin of a living person!
What a heart-wrenching punishment.
But what makes people even more angry is that such a cruel punishment was actually used on the national hero Yue Fei.
However, Yue Fei did not lower his head to compromise when he was tortured from beginning to end.
Instead, he kept his head high, swearing to death to defend the dignity in his bones.
So what exactly did Yue Fei go through before he died? Did he really commit any heinous crime?
Second, Yue Fei was accused of "trumped-up"
Looking back at the progress of the ancient centralized system on the mainland, the authoritarian centralization that began during the Qin Dynasty.
It continued for the next few dynasties.
During the Song Dynasty, the Song Emperor's authoritarian centralization reached its peak.
But under this more authoritarian rule, power is relatively centralized.
Slowly, the relationship between the monarchs and the courtiers began to become tense.
Therefore, a widely circulated phrase has also begun to rise among the people
"The king wants the subject to die, and the minister has to die".
This phrase is easy to understand, that if the ruler wants his courtiers to die, then he can be convicted at will.
There is no need for a definite reason to kill a courtier.
Under the rule of Emperor Gaozong of Song, the national hero Yue Fei died unjustly in this way.
Yue Fei is a well-deserved national hero in the entire history of China.
He worked hard all his life for national independence, and finally sacrificed his life.
Yue Fei had been fighting against Jin Guo almost all the time.
He has always used the thinking of a martial general, and his daily consideration is not to let the Jin people invade the border of the mainland.
In the confrontation between the Song State and the Jin State, Yue Fei won many victories on behalf of the Song State.
Yue Fei has never bowed his head in the fight against the Jin Kingdom, and has worked hard to constantly fight for the border.
However, there are many resources wasted in war, and every day soldiers are supplied with food and grass and weapons and equipment used in battle.
Therefore, the imperial court at that time was worried about the daily waste of military food and food.
The rulers believed that not only would it increase the daily tax burden of the imperial court, but that the continuation of it would directly affect the interests of those rulers.
Therefore, for so many considerations, the rulers of the imperial court felt that peace was the best choice.
Yue Fei didn't understand their thoughts at that time, thinking that this group of them were traitors.
Wondering why these people feel proud of traitor, where is the backbone in their bodies?
At that time, Yue Fei and their group of ministers did not agree with each other, so he became a thorn in the side of the group of ministers.
They were all wondering how they could inflict on him everywhere.
Then the imperial court began to recall Yue Fei back to Beijing, and Qin Hui was the mastermind who framed Yue Fei at that time.
He had already bought off the people around Yue Fei and began to advise Song Gaozong again.
He was then imprisoned on the charge that Yue Fei wanted to rebel.
While in the public court, Qin Hui began to impose some trumped-up charges on Yue Fei's body one by one.
But how could such an iron-clad hero as Yue Fei easily bow his head and confess?
What's more, these charges that Qin Hui said, Yue Fei did not do at all.
Then, Qin Hui began to use various kinds of torture on Yue Fei's body.
I want him to quickly choose to confess his guilt because of this.
However, Yue Fei's spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones would not easily make him soften.
Qin Hui was more and more excited by Yue Fei, and he began to order people to forcibly rip off Yue Fei's clothes.
I originally wanted to use this to insult Yue Fei's personality, but I didn't expect that when Yue Fei's clothes were slowly pulled off.
The four words that leaked out were particularly dazzling: "Serve the country with loyalty."
These four words were what Yue Fei asked his mother to tattoo on his body when he was fighting money, in order to express his family and country momentum of loyal service to the country.
Although Yue Fei was kneeling on the ground at that time, he seemed to be surrounded by a beam of light.
This may be the light reflected by the iron-clad feelings of home and country on his body!
His momentum was in stark contrast to the despicable villain of Qin Hui standing in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei began to endure all kinds of torture.
The first is what we refer to as "draped mak".
Qin Hui ordered his subordinates to tie Yue Fei up and fix him on a wooden stake.
Another subordinate was sent to whip Yue Fei's bloody flesh with a whip.
Yue Fei's already broken skin was spurred by the whip.
The flesh and blood began to separate, and the picture of skin and flesh began to bloom.
At this time, no matter how strong Yue Fei's body was, he began to be a little unable to withstand it.
The eyes began to close slowly, and then they entered a state of semi-stupor.
At this time, the blood on Yue Fei's body continued to flow, and not a single piece of flesh on his body was intact.
While the blood flowed, he put this gauze on Yue Fei's wound again.
Seeing this, we also asked the gang that they also knew to use gauze to stop the bleeding of Yue Fei's wound.
It's not like this, these scumbags just take advantage of this gauze completely soaked in the flesh.
I tore the gauze off violently, and the moment I ripped it off, the feeling was indescribable pain.
But even after such a cruel torture, Yue Fei never wanted to bow his head and confess for a moment.
Yue Fei kept insisting like this, which completely angered Qin Huan.
He began to enter a state of madness.
Qin Hui asked his subordinates to carry a bowl of hot goat soup, which had just come out of the pot and was still smoking steaming smoke.
At this moment, Yue Fei's body was in a blurred state of flesh and blood, and Qin Hui ignored this and directly poured this bowl of hot goat soup on Yue Fei's body.
The temperature of the goat soup is already high, and there is a lot of salt in it.
At the moment of splashing, Yue Fei's body once again bloomed.
Qin Hui quickly reported this matter to Emperor Gaozong of Song, and Yue Fei's behavior of not admitting defeat completely angered them.
In this way, Emperor Gaozong of Song listened to the "trumped-up" charges reported by Qin Huan, and he began to use his identity as a ruler to give orders.
In this way, Yue Fei no longer admitted defeat.
But after all, he is only a person, how can he resist the power of the ruler?
Yue Fei was eventually killed by Qin Hui in the prison of Dali Temple at the age of 39.
After Yue Fei's death, Jin Guo saw that the great hero of the Song Kingdom on the opposite side had died.
They all rejoiced one after another, and they all called out that the Song Dynasty was in danger.
However, in the later slow development, this feudal rule began to slowly disappear.
People also began to gradually realize that Yue Fei was a national hero, and Qin Hui was a despicable villain who could not be forgiven.
Third, Qin Hui finally paid the price for his meanness
With the development of the times, people began to hate Qin Juniper's practices more and more.
Such a national hero was killed by a villain like Qin Huan.
So everywhere began to build statues of Qin Hui kneeling.
In order to vent the anger in their hearts, some people even punched and kicked directly when they saw the statue of Qin Hui kneeling.
But even so, it was difficult for them to vent the anger in their hearts.
A despicable villain like Qin Juniper, let him kneel for eternity to repent of his mistakes!
Epilogue:
The cruel crimes of lingling and wearing linen should have been applied to repeat offenders,
But in that feudal dynasty, he used all of this on the national hero Yue Fei.
Justice may be late, but it will always come.
A national hero like Yue Fei will always be remembered in people's hearts, and those sinners will definitely be left behind for ten thousand years!
