"The people are closed, and those who dare to come out are killed" "Jiangning has become Nanjing, and the Han family can be restored" "The Ming Taiping Army has strict military discipline, and the people have not committed any crimes in the autumn, and each family is safe, don't panic" “” On Pingshi Street, more than a dozen officials of the Jiangning Mansion cowered under the custody of several Taiping soldiers, shouting along the street, and pasting white paper with smooth characters on the houses of those who had drawn red circles on the door walls.
However, compared with the chaos of the day, these soldiers are not extremely vicious, they only routinely check the number of people, and if they are correct, they will quit, and there is no extortion and robbery.
Some brave people peeked against the wall and found that the Taiping soldiers walking along the street saw beggars and widows on the street, and did not step forward to drive them away, but grabbed a handful of copper coins from their arms and threw them at them.
The food they bring with them will also give some to these homeless people.
From the time of Youshi to the dawn of the day, all night, the Taiping army was in the inner city to check the remnants of the Qing army and search for the Manchu Han bannermen.
Draw red circles and paste words just to avoid implicating innocent Han people.
In the process of purging the remnants of the enemy, except for the Manchu and Han banners and a few civilians who were mistakenly killed, the Taiping army directly killed not many Nanjing people.
However, the Taiping army did not kill anyone, but many gentry loyal to the Qing Dynasty in the city, their families, scholars, and ordinary people chose to commit suicide for the Qing Dynasty.
There are bloody suicide notes and testaments, which are much more miserable than when the Qing soldiers arrived 16 years ago.
There are more than a dozen literati who threw themselves into the lake for the martyrdom of the Qing Dynasty, and many of them were named in the Ming Dynasty.
There are also those who are full of clothed slaves, leading the whole family to hang themselves on the hanging beam, and the wives refuse to take the children to death, so they strangle them alive, just to be slaves to the master and son again in the next life.
After dawn, Zhou Shixiang issued an order, ordering the capture and killing of flag men in the inner city, and those who captured and killed flag men were rewarded with five taels of silver.
The bold Han people in the inner city all rose up to hunt down and hunt down the banner people, and many large families had their subordinates go out to report secretly, and their owners secretly hid the flag men and Qing officials in the mansion.
So a new round of search began, one day down, there were no less than dozens of people who raided the house and destroyed the door, and found more than 900 banner people, more than 1,000 officials and soldiers, all of whom were killed, and then the corpses were violently placed in the city to show a lesson.
This made those gentry who colluded with the Manchu Qing no longer dare to hide the Manchu bannermen, but instead led the domestic slaves to beat the objects of respect in the past, or drove them out of the house, or directly tied up and sent to the Taiping army.
For these gentry, the Taiping army only had one request, and all those who were sent were killed by them, which was called the gentry and the gentry, and everyone saw blood.
The Jiangning Weaving Bureau was established in the Ming Dynasty to purchase fabrics for the court, and has been in charge of the weaving eunuchs of the Inner Court.
Hongguangnian Nanjing fell, Jiangning Weaving Bureau was owned by the Qing court, Shunzhi ten years ago has been in charge of the household department, but after that, the thirteen yamen of the inner court sent people to Jiangning every year to take care of it.
The eunuch sent to Jiangning this year is called Hu Wenqing, who was a young eunuch during the Chongzhen period, but because he offended the crotch king Chengen, he was sent to the Fengyang Emperor's mausoleum to guard the tomb.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered Beijing, and Wu Liangfu, a friend of Hu Wenqing's former palace in the past, won the credit of the little emperor and brought him back to Beijing from Fengyang.
In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Wu Liangfu made a statement to the emperor to reopen the thirteen yamen of the inner court, and Hu Wenqing became the first Shangyi supervisor of the Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning of this year, because he felt that Jiangning had a lot of oil and water for weaving, Hu Wenqing specially asked his friend Wu Liangfu to help him come to Jiangning to weave eunuchs for a year.
I didn't want to, but I encountered a siege of bandits in less than half a year, and Hu Wenqing's soul was almost scared away.
As a result, as soon as the disaster was overcome, the shock was still undecided, and Nanjing actually called the Ming army to break it without warning There was a mess outside, I heard that the governor and they all called the Ming army a pot, the outer city and the inner city fell into the hands of the Ming army, and now the Ming army is wantonly hunting and killing Qing officers and soldiers.
Hu Wenqing knew that he couldn't do anything, and the people in the Weaving Bureau ran out, and he sat there alone in the empty yamen, looking very lonely.
After a long time, hearing the sound of shouting and killing and footsteps outside, Hu Wenqing's body trembled slightly, picked up a porcelain bottle on the table, opened the seal, and poured it into his mouth with a "grunt".
"If you don't die of a thief, you will die by the law" Jiang Ning's right political Ma Guorong decided to commit suicide after leaving a suicide note, but unfortunately he had been an official for too long, and he had been ghostwritten by his staff for many years.
Ma Guorong hastily sent his old servant for many years to take the suicide note out of the city and try to send it back to the capital, so that he would be extremely sad after his death.
However, the old servant had just come out with his front foot, and his back foot came back again, saying that there were soldiers outside, and he couldn't get out at all.
Ma Guorong felt desperate, he thought about it, retrieved the suicide note from the old servant, hid it closely, and then sent the old servant to let him find his own way.
Later, he walked to the back hall, found a piece of gold cake obtained by taking bribes, gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
The gold swallower died, but what caught Ma Guorong off guard was that after the gold cake went down his throat, in addition to the discomfort in his stomach and the pain that made him roll all over the ground, he didn't die at all.
Enduring the pain, he staggered onto the table, tied several feet of white silk to the beams of the room, and raised his neck on tiptoe to cover himself.
But it seems that Bai Aya is a little high, and he can't put Bai Aya over his chin and around his neck.
Ma Guorong is in a hurry, can't he beg for death?
Enduring the pain in his stomach, he slowly climbed down from the table, trying to find a brocade stool to take to pad his feet, but before the stool was in his hand, the door was kicked open heavily, and a dozen or so Ming soldiers with guns and spears rushed in.
"The chief, it's a big official."
Seeing that Ma Guorong was the complement of the Qing court's third-rank official, a Taiping Army soldier from the original green battalion immediately pounced on Ma Guorong.
"Dog thief" Ma Guorong was furious, and wanted to smash the brocade stool in his hand at the soldier, but he didn't want to have a huge pain in his stomach, so he couldn't help but throw away the brocade stool and roll on the ground with his stomach in his arms.
Seeing this, the general banner of the Taiping Army immediately understood that the Qing Dynasty official was afraid of what poison he had taken, and he wanted to let him die here, but one soldier muttered that he had swallowed gold.
Hearing this, the general flag's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a knife and stepped on Ma Guorong, ordering his subordinates to hold him down so that he could not move.
A knife cut away, and the smell of blood rushed to his nose, and it hurt so much that Ma Guorong died and lived, and his body couldn't move, and there was a low moan there.
After stirring the knife for a while, the general flag felt that there was a hard object on the tip of the knife, and he was not disgusting, so he reached out to touch it, and really found a piece of gold cake.
Author's note: The thirteen yamen of the inner court set up in the Shunzhi year were abolished in the first year of Kangxi, and the Jiangning Weaving Bureau was changed to be managed by the internal affairs government.
The first Jiangning weaver Langzhong was Cao Xuejiang, his father Cao Xi. oshow7 t1706231537:
