In the history of ancient wars, massacres and robberies were almost commonplace. After all, there was no international convention in ancient times and no contemporary concept of human rights. It can be said that when soldiers and soldiers are together, life is as cheap as grass. But even so, many massacre records, the cruelty of their means, are shocking and unwilling to read now. In previous years, Qin Jun was often touted as a disciplined teacher with strict military discipline and never killed innocent people. However, there is a clear record in Historical Records-"Qin used Wei Yang's plan to make 20 titles, and the one who won the first place was awarded the title. Therefore, every time the Qin people were defeated, the old, weak, women and children all died, and tens of thousands of merits were awarded. It is also evil for the world to call it a' country that makes meritorious deeds first'. "

Qin Jun

"The old, the weak, women and children all die", just six words, can debunk the lie that Qin Jun only kills foot soldiers at most, but not the people. And "Liye Qin Bamboo Slips" also contains the record of Qin Jun's good deeds in killing people. Qin is called the Qin Dynasty, not without reason. The first emperor made great achievements, and his dynasty II died, which was also related to the killing of Qin Jun, and was not very popular in Kanto. In ancient Europe, the brutality of the vikings was also outrageous. They regard the most basic pity in human nature as cowardice, and regard killing innocent people as the bounden duty of soldiers. A Viking in Iceland was ridiculed as a "pedophile" because he didn't want to throw the stolen baby into the air and pierce it with a spear. What is even more abominable for Vikings is to take advantage of the kindness of others and kill innocent people. Vikings Hastings and Bjorn took a fancy to Lucca, a city on the Italian coast, and found it very solid. They lied that Hastings was dying and wanted to be baptized as a Christian before he died. Although the kind bishop had doubts, he accepted his request and allowed more than a dozen followers to carry Hastings into the city.

Cruel vikings

After entering the city, followers released the news of Hasted's death, demanding that he be buried in the church and present gifts to the Christian church. On that day, Lukacs was crowded with people watching the funeral of the famous Viking. The incident at that time completely turned into a story of a farmer and a snake. Hasted jumped out of the coffin, kicked the bishop who prayed for him alive and kicking to the ground, and then cut down the Vikings outside the city with amazing power. The city quickly turned into a sea of blood, and no one was spared.

China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was also an era when personal life was as low as grass, and cannibals such as Qin Zongquan and Sun Ru emerged one after another. But the massacre of Zhu Wen's nephew Zhu in Bochang is still shocking. Zhu attacked Bochang for more than a month, fearing that he would be punished by Zhu Wen, so he drove away more than 100,000 people around him and led cattle and horses to build a slope in the south of the city to attack the city. When it was almost finished, people and livestock, together with earth and stone, crowded into the trench in front of the city wall, filled with complaints, stretching for dozens of miles, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were buried alive. After the city was captured, Zhu slaughtered the people in the city. Zhu, the initiator of this incident, was quickly punished and killed by the enemy's general Wang. However, Bochang's massacre was tragic under the means, and it is still chilling.

It was the Mongols who took the killing method to the extreme. According to the "History of Dosan Mongolia", when they went to Hungary for the second time, they raised horses in Hungary, pretending not to hurt the people, and also took out horses to trade with the people. When they were ready to leave, they suddenly turned against each other. In the future, all the traders were killed, their property was confiscated, and then the soldiers were bloodied. After leaving, they sent a team back to check after a while. Some people who returned home after fleeing the disaster were found and killed again. I don't know whether this evil behavior is to plunder more wealth or to have a crazy obsession with extermination. In the East, Mongols also play the trick of slaughter.

According to the "History of Mind" probably written for Zheng Sixiao, Bo Yan, a famous minister in the early Yuan Dynasty, led an army to attack Changzhou in the Song Dynasty, but the commander held his ground and Bo Yan was very angry. "The king was ordered to surrender, and the residents outside the city took the soil as the base, and the soil was built with people, and the oil was fried for shooting ... The next day, the city was broken and Bo Yan was ordered to kill his people." "Building residents as a base" is a trick played by Zhu. It is quite difficult to attack the city by bombing civilian oil, so it is often questioned. However, in the official history of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Rong's biography has been recorded-your company under the capital of song dynasty, with Asura as the pioneer, attacked Suiyang, discussed the killing of prisoners, boiled their oil to fill the city, and tried to stop it. 1233, that is, 42 years before Changzhou War, Mongolian general Asura had a plan to attack Suiyang City by frying people's oil, which was dissuaded by Han general Zhang Rong. This proves that Mongols do have the tradition of frying people's oil as guns, which may be related to Shamanism belief. As for the specific attack method, it remains to be discussed.

Bo Yan, Prime Minister of Yuan Dynasty

In any case, there is no doubt about Bo Yan's massacre in Changzhou. After the destruction of the Song Dynasty, the famous Mongolian minister, who was familiar with Chinese culture, wrote a hypocritical poem "Crossing the Meiling Hills and Willows", trying to whitewash the brutal war of the Yuan Dynasty to kill people's sins as a warm move-Ma Shoujing returned from Yuling, and Julian Waghann knew Pingyi everywhere. I don't have anything from Jiangnan in my head, only one or two plum blossoms are inserted. Times have changed. When we turn over the annals of history and see these dehumanized records, every word remains the same and every sentence is shocking. In the feudal era, the soldiers were in a state of chaos and people's lives were like dirt. Living in this peaceful and peaceful era is undoubtedly our great happiness.
