There are rumors that Ming Dynasty Anti-Qing general Zhang Xianzhong massacred the entire Sichuan people, and erected a stele on the tomb of the hundred bones. Kill kill kill kill."
This monument is also called "Seven Kill Monument", and the lines are full of hostility. As for the enmity between Zhang Xianzhong and Sichuan, there is still a rumor that makes people dumbfounded.
It is rumored that Zhang Xianzhong wiped it with roadside weeds because of diarrhea when he was passing through Sichuan. Who knew this grass was poisonous, Zhang Xianzhong became swollen in two strands, and said angrily: "The grass here is so poisonous. People can get it? Kill me."
However, there are many false rumors. The "Seven Killing Tablets" in history did have this thing. It was written that "all things are born with humans, humans have nothing and the sky, ghosts and gods are clear, think for themselves."
this The stele is also called the Saint Yu stele. It was written by Zhang Xianzhong for those who were corrupt. Many netizens believed that the rumored "Seven Killing Stele" was a rumor created by the Qing government to discredit him.
It is true that Zhang Xianzhong has fought for his life and killed many people. It is certainly true that millions of people have been killed. It is also common for people to be killed in fish ponds, but I don't believe it when it comes to killing people and slaughtering people.
But this rumor has affected a person, he is the last Ming Dynasty star to fight against the Qing, Li Dingguo .
At the beginning of the period, Li Dingguo rebelled with Zhang Xianzhong and fought against the oppression and corruption of the Ming government. In today's terms, he is an anti-social bandit.
But the bandits also have great righteousness. The Qing army attacked. In order to protect the nation, Li Dingguo, a righteous son, followed Zhang Xianzhong to take refuge in and Yongli to fend off foreign enemies together and establish a regime in Yunnan to expand and recover. Rivers and mountains.
However, Wu Sangui drew the Qing army into the pass. was so powerful that the Ming army suffered a series of defeats. Zhang Xianzhong was betrayed by his subordinates and died under the arrows of the Qing army.
At this time, Li Dingguo led a brave army invincible on the battlefield, and was called "the enemy of ten thousand people." The Qing army saw the smoke from a distance, and they were all frightened to hear the wind.
There are even rumors that Li Dingguo's army is like a comer from hell, with bones everywhere. Although this statement is exaggerated, it also shows how powerful Li Dingguo's army was at that time.
In addition to Li Dingguo's use of soldiers as a god, an important factor must be mentioned, the elephant.
When Li Dingguo was stationed in Yunnan, he was protested by many local ethnic minorities at first, but Li Dingguo knew the people’s will and set the rules.
All Han Chinese are treated the same as locals, and shall not be discriminated against and split. If they are enlisted in the army, they will receive the same treatment.
Over time, the locals also regarded his army as their own. Until now, there are still Li Dingguo temples in many areas of Yunnan.
After this, Li Dingguo not only increased his manpower, but also obtained fifty elephants from the local area to learn from the Dai people .
Each elephant is matched with an elephant slave, with a tower on its back, which can stand three or four crossbowmen, which is equivalent to a combat unit.
The Qing army is mostly nomadic people in the north. Where have you seen such a behemoth like an elephant, everyone is terrified, and all the horses are trampled to death.
With elephant soldiers Li Dingguo fought from Yunnan to Guangzhou, Sichuan and entered Beijing.
defeated the prince Kong Youde and King Jing, who was named King of Dingnan by the Qing Dynasty, Nikan , and was later called " two famous kings ".
This battle shocked the country. Since the Ming and Qing wars , this is the first time a Qing prince has been beheaded.
However, he suffered the most tragic defeat in the battle of Xinhui, not only lost to isolation and helplessness,It was defeated by the brutal and inhumane actions of the Qing army.
At that time, the Yongli regime had been defeated, and the high officials of the Ming Dynasty retreated to the south, so there was the saying of Nanming .
In order to reverse the situation, Li Dingguo, who was fighting abroad, wanted to unite with the coastal Zheng Chenggong to win Guangzhou, but he was unable to get support.
Although Sun Kewang has political power, the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang has been in the hands of Li Dingguo, which made him very jealous, so he chose to wait and see.
Although Zheng Chenggong regained the coast and Taiwan, he was not in line with Li Dingguo in terms of political views and thoughts. Therefore, Li Dingguo's several letters of assistance for him were not heard.
In this situation of internal and external troubles, the actions of the Qing army who defended the city in Xinhui became the last straw to crush the camel.
There are a large number of people in the city. Li Dingguo has always set a rule that after siege the city, neither rob nor seize, nor kill or commit adultery.
Because of pity for the people in the city, he did not use cannons to attack the city, but chose to blast through the hole under the city wall to attack.
However, whenever a hole appeared, the Qing army would lead the people out of the city to repair the wall. Whenever they wanted to fire the cannon, the Qing army would pull the people out as a shield. The aggrieved Li Dingguo's army broke out with a plague again, and the combat power was greatly reduced.
At this time, the Qing army in Xinhui City was no longer able to "kill him while he was sick." Because they were eating people.
Because of food shortages, the Qing army required each household to hand in one person as military rations.
There is a record in " Xinhui County Chronicles". A man was dragged into the pan, and his wife cried and said: "My husband is dead, and our family will have no future. I am boring to live. Let me replace it. Let him.”
Qingbing heard that it made sense, so he boiled the woman and gave the bones left to her husband.
There is another daughter-in-law who wants to die for her mother-in-law,The Qing soldiers were "moved" and cooked their daughter-in-law "comprehensively". The Qing army ate tens of thousands of people in just two months.
This period of history can be regarded as Five Random China The most recent cannibalism since the "Xinhui County Chronicles" described its tragedy, but did not criticize the Qing army too much.
On the contrary, there are rumors that Li Dingguo deliberately criticized Li Dingguo, which means that Li Dingguo forced the people in the city to this point. After hearing this, many netizens shouted: "Absurd."
In the end Li Dingguo had to return to Nanning _span, Nanning
Daming's vitality was cut off. Later historians said that Li Dingguo's strategic deployment at the time was feasible. If he can really win Guangzhou with Zheng Chenggong, it may really turn things around.
However, history has no ifs. Every ending is bound to countless reasons, just like Li Dingguo died and never expected to be betrayed by his closest subordinate, Baiwen Xuan .
In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Sun Ke expected to see that he could not compare with Li Dingguo, so he had the desire to betray Nanming and asked his subordinates Bai Wenxuan to steal Zhu Youlang and return him to the Qing army.
Bai Wenxuan disagreed with this approach in his heart, instead he admired Li Dingguo's loyalty and chose to rely on him.
When Li Dingguo was guarding Mopan Mountain, more than a dozen people who followed him were dying, and there was only one person left by Bai Wenxuan.
At this time, the timid Zhu Youlang chose to flee to Myanmar, but was detained by the Burmese. Li Dingguo Bai Wenxuan went to rescue the two, but was ordered to retreat by the frightened emperor. As a last resort, the two had to return.
thinking that the general situation is over, but at least the emperor is still alive, Li Dingguo still stayed at Mopanshan, and made an oath: "I would rather fight the wilderness than surrender."
At this time the army of He Jiuyi's wife Er was held hostage by Wu Sangui, and thought of surrender in his mind, but before he could do anything, Li Dingguo ordered him to be executed.
This move caused the hearts of the army to start to dissipate.With this, the two subordinates of Bai Wenxuan persuaded Bai Wenxuan to surrender to the Qing army together.
When Ye Bai Wenxuan led a team of subordinates to leave the station, Li Dingguo was very sad when he learned that he did not let his men chase after him.
After many years of fighting against the Qing Dynasty, only Bai Wenxuan was left with his brother on the battlefield. Now the general situation is gone, and it is understandable that the brothers surrendered. I can't bear to meet him again.
However, Bai Wenxuan regretted it midway, but before he could return, he was blocked by the Qing army who had heard the news. Seeing the few soldiers behind him, Bai Wenxuan had to surrender.
At this time, Myanmar also saw that Li Dingguo was no longer able to recover, and handed Zhu Youlang to Wu Sangui.
After learning that the emperor was killed, Li Dingguo vomited blood and fell ill. Before dying, warn children and grandchildren, never return to the Qing court.
It is a pity that everyone has their own ambitions, and the second son still joined the Qing army. It is said that some of the subordinates who swear to the death have returned to the mountains and forests and have lived in Yunnan for generations.
Until today, Li Dingguo’s temples have been built in many places in Yunnan, and they are worshipped as rain gods. There is also a domineering legend.
According to legend, after Li Dingguo was stationed here, it coincided with successive years of severe drought, and the people worshiped the Dragon King Temple but still did not rain.
Li Dingguo, who learned of this incident, came to the Dragon King Temple and cursed: "You are the Dragon King, but you are in vain of the people. If you don't rain, the world will be a god. It is better to worship me." So he destroyed the Dragon King Temple and it was built. A statue of Li Dingguo.
At this time, the rain fell from the sky, and Li Dingguo led the locals to dig a canal to drain the water, and never suffered from drought.
Legend has it that Li Dingguo ascended to a god after his death, protecting the peace of the other side. To this day, some places in Yunnan still retain some rules. Passing by Li Dingguo's temple, he must bow before leaving.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were many generals who were able to conquer the battle, but Li Dingguo was the only one who could truly be called the pillar of the country.
Due to the historical reasons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was not much publicity about Li Dingguo’s achievements. However, during the Republic of China, the Yunnan Revolutionaries all took Li Dingguo as an example: "May I be from Yunnan,Don't forget Li Dingguo.
Although his power alone cannot change the wheel of history, his patriotic determination to fight to the end is an example for each of us to learn from.
