Throughout five thousand years, the dynasty with the most brutal and most poisonous punishment is the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty blended and improved the penalties of the past dynasties, and took them out casually. It was enough to disperse the soul without waiting for execution.
Among the many tortures in the Ming Dynasty, the most infamous and frightening was "skinning". Since Zhu Yuanzhang and Jian Daming, he has taken the abandoned punishment on the table to deter those who committed crimes. A rebellious minister.
Ming Dynasty "skinning" is divided into "dead stripping" and "live stripping", as the name implies, one is to peel after death, the other is Stripped alive. According to historical records, sapphire was "dead stripped" at that time, first strangling to death with a bowstring, and then immediately peeling off the skin. But the four people who executed the sentence at the same time with him that day were not as lucky as him. They were skinned alive in full view.
After the skins of many ministers are peeled off, they will be filled with forages to make "human fur bags", which are hung on the beams of the "skinning temple" for public display, which is very shocking. The famous nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian used this as a lynching to treat dissidents specifically.
to investigate its history of "skinning" does not seem to be the patent of the Chinese. As early as the Viking madness, the Vikings had a punishment called "Blood Eagle", which was the punishment of skinning. Not enough Vikings will not tear off the skin of a person, but only tear apart the back. After hanging a person, it looks like two wings are born on the back, hence the name "Blood Eagle".
According to European documents, the British have long used this punishment. They named it "tar and fether" and executed it. Before, the victim would be stripped of all clothing, covered with hot tar, and then pushed down on the feathers, let him roll on the feathers, so that he was covered with feathers and turned into a "bird man." After the tar cooled, the feathers adhered tightly to the skin, and then the soldiers and executioners tore the feathers from their hands. When the feathers were torn off, the victim's skin also fell off.
and the Persians even carried it forward. They poured a special gum out of the barrel, and then all the victims went in to make it The skin blends with the gum. After the gum is completely dry, burn the gum with fire, then wrap the animal skins on the gum and let it cool. In this way, the human skin and flesh are completely glued to the gum. You only need to tear the outer skin of the animal, and the human skin inside will fall off, but the human cannot die immediately. The Persians will lose this poor person who has lost his skin. Into the barrel full of honey. Eventually the poor guy rotted in honey and became food for maggots. The pain during this process in the honey barrel is indescribable. Please open your head and go to the picture at that time.
The historical footsteps once again returned to the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Han Guan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, had a murderous nature and liked to swallow human eyes. He likes to use human skin as a cushion. Zhu Yuanzhang sent an imperial ambassador to Han Guan's residence, and saw that his large chair was covered with such a piece of leather, with all facial features, his face facing the front of the chair back, and his hair scattered behind the chair. Han Guan sat on it broadly to show his majesty.
According to another record, Zhang Xianzhong also preferred this approach at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and liked to do it himself. He would nail a living person's hands and feet on the door, and then cut the knife from the back of the neck and cut along the spine to the door At the place, pull the skin on its back to both sides, and then use a knife to slowly separate the skin and muscles, and finally get a complete piece of skin. It is said that Zhang Xianzhong also realized a set of "Mercury Separation Method", in which mercury was poured into his cut skin, and the skin and flesh were separated by the falling force.
But the worst is the "Da Hong Pao" invented during Wei Zhongxian's time, and the "Da Hong Pao" was also named "Deathing Da Hong Pao". The so-called "Dahongpao" is to boil a large bowl with cowhide glue, and then apply the boiled cowhide gluePut it on the human body, and then stick the hemp skin. After the hemp skin and the cowhide glue are completely dry, tear the hemp skin down piece by piece. Each piece of hemp skin will be removed with a piece of flesh, and then burned. A good soldering iron and special medicated oil seal the blood vessels so that they will not die from excessive blood loss. Every tear off is enough to make people guilty. After being completely torn off, the person could not die quickly, and his muscles were exposed. Yasai wore a red dress, hence the name "Dahongpao".
