Zhang Xianzhong was an important leader of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty. However, zhang Xianzhong's history criticized him a lot, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the team he led had outstanding achievements, dominated the side, and was an important force in overthrowing the corrupt Ming Dynasty. He was brave and good at war, fierce and tenacious, resourceful and good at war, cunning and humorous, reflecting the interests of the revolutionary peasants. But he is also a murderous demon king who does not blink, a murderous psychopath.
The "History of Ming" compiled by the Qing Dynasty says that Zhang Xianzhong killed people like grass and mustard, erected seven killing monuments, wantonly slaughtered the city, and so on, although it may be a little biased. But judging from his daily human style, his murderous nature is absolutely irrefutable.
Zhang Xianzhong was born poor, but he developed a brave and resolute, tough and tenacious character. After Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime in Chengdu, when he met his subordinates again, he actually took off his crown in anger, fell to the ground and smashed it with his feet, and no one next to him dared to go up to persuade him. ”
This was not the first time that he had acted in such a wayward manner, and even the holy will that represented the symbol of imperial power, he dared to "be different and unique" and show his stubborn and free nature.
Once, Zhang Xianzhong's general Liu Jinzhong did not listen to Zhang Xianzhong's warnings and fought against the enemy, resulting in a major defeat. Zhang Xianzhong was furious when he heard the news, and he rebuked him with a holy will, and the emissary took the holy will and read it aloud: "Fengtian Carrying, the emperor decreed, Lao Tzu told you not to go to Hanzhong, you are forced to go to Hanzhong, and now you have broken a lot of soldiers and horses." Donkey balls, into your mother's hair! Thanks". The wenwu soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were stunned to hear this, and they all forced themselves to kowtow to Xie En and retreated.
Liu Jinzhong was in a big mess, and he was afraid that Zhang Xianzhong would make some strange moves, so he ran to Hanzhong overnight to join the Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that his subordinates are afraid of his casual and loose nature, and although he leads the soldiers and is brave, his temperament is uncertain.
There is more to this strange thing. It is rumored that Zhang Xianzhong was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu, so he opened a branch to take a soldier, the first title was named Zhang Dashou, born a table of talents, but also a literary and martial arts, Zhang Xianzhong was a reward for him, and it was a feast, and it was also a summoning painter to paint his portrait, and finally rewarded the mansion, beautiful women and family members. Zhang Zhuangyuan was very happy and wanted to show his loyalty to Zhang Xianzhong the next day.
When Zhang Xianzhong heard that the talented Leader was coming, he did not know what evil he had been caught in, and said: "This donkey was raised, Lao Tzu loved him tightly, and when he saw him, he loved him even more in his heart, and we Lao Tzu were a little afraid of seeing him, so you should quickly clean him up, and you must not ask him to come back to see us Lao Tzu." ”
As a result, Zhang Zhuangyuan's family, along with the beautiful women and family members they had been rewarded, were all beheaded, leaving no one behind. Zhang Zhuangyuan may not know what he did wrong until he dies, so he is so sad and happy, flying away.
I have to say that later, Zhang Xianzhong's road of indiscriminate killing went farther and farther, and he was not only absurd and tyrannical, but also practiced tyranny, which the ordinary people naturally could not accept, and the evil of his human nature was also fully demonstrated.
