In ancient history, imperial power was supreme. Once someone was suspected of treason, the rulers often suppressed it with severe punishment. Therefore, it is often common for rebels to be implicated by the whole family, regardless of age, sickness and disability, to kill the nine clans. As for the mastermind, the rulers often use punishments such as beheading, dismembering the body of five horses, dismembering them, slashing the slaying, and cutting them alive to warn them.
Shidakai , one of the main generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a famous modern military strategist, politician, revolutionary and strategist. He is also called a patriotic general and a national hero by later generations. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established, it made great achievements and defeated the Hunan Army several times, and fought the Zeng Guofan several times and was desperate. However, after the Tianjing Incident , Shi Dakai led his team to escape from Tianjing , and rushed all the way to Sichuan, planning to occupy the country of Tianfu and establish another mountain.
In early 1863, Shi Dakai, who entered Sichuan, fought fiercely with the Sichuan Governor of the Qing Dynasty Luo Bingzhang in Yibin for more than 20 days. Due to the betrayal of the traitor, Shi Dakai was defeated and more than 40,000 soldiers were lost. In mid-May of the same year, Shi Dakai ordered five thousand elite boats to advance together to cross the Dadu River . Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and just as the rush to rush to succeed, a flood came unexpectedly and five thousand elite troops were wiped out. After being trapped for more than 20 days, the remaining tens of thousands of troops were defeated, plus hunger and plague, only more than 6,000 people were left.
Shi Dakai was forced to break through many times, but all ended up being defeated by the Qing army. In order to keep the green mountains there, he decided to surrender to the Qing army. He took his five-year-old son Shi Dingzhong to discuss the aftermath with Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan of the Qing court. After both sides decided: Shi Dakai dismissed two-thirds of his old subordinates on the spot, and the rest were incorporated into the Qing army with Shi Dakai. However, what Shi Dakai never expected was that Luo Bingzhang went back on his word and then executed all Shi Dakai and his remaining subordinates.
It is said that when Shi Dakai accepted the punishment of Lingchi, he shouted without pain from beginning to end. "Shuhai Congtan" records: The place where Shi died was on the Lotus Street in Chengdu City, the arrow sign was marked on the Lotus Street. The three of them were tied to the execution ground, all of whom were so proud that they were not shy. Moreover, he was executed by Ling Chi's death, and he was silent until his death. He was really a strange man.
After Shi Dakai's death, the Qing government did not let his five-year-old son Shi Dingzhong go. According to the law, Lingchi also needed to cut 3,000 yuan. A five-year-old child is so young, he may die in just a few knifes, which is not enough for 3,000 yuan. Therefore, the emperor specially approved: If you raise it, you will cut it alive. At this point, we have also seen the incompetence and absurd punishment of the Qing government, and even the young children are not spared, which is extremely cruel.
, Shi Dakai's life was grand and his life was praised by later generations, and was considered "the most perfect image of peasant uprisings in China in all dynasties."
