Events in the court were quickly spread to various places in the Ming Dynasty through newspapers.

Under the hint of the commander of the Jinyiwei, the local Jinyiwei worked overtime in various towns and villages in the Ming Dynasty, constantly informing the people about this matter.

Suddenly, the entire Ming Dynasty was in an uproar.

Some people don't believe that high-ranking officials in the imperial court would do this.

Some people questioned that His Majesty did not make a judgment in court, but handed it over to the officials of the Third Division for handling. With the officials protecting each other, how could it be possible to impose an iron fist of justice on the masterminds behind the scenes.

Suddenly, this matter became a topic of discussion among people after dinner.

In the capital, Tianjin and other places, this incident was quickly overtaken by the previous incident of Jin Yiwei arresting people.

However, the court's plan will not change due to changes in people's discussions.

Time soon came to the day of the great judgment.

Under the protection of 2,000 imperial guards and countless imperial guards, Zhu Youjian came to Anding Gate.

Standing on the city gate, looking at the large number of traitors and countless people around him, Zhu Youjian secretly encouraged himself,

"Everything will be fine. Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to survive the next drought and epidemic. All disasters will not defeat Ming Dynasty."

“Without rules, no rules, and no legal system, no matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it cannot escape the fate of destruction, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot escape the fate of being exiled slaves.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in prosperous times than a person in troubled times. Troubled times are the end of the world for the rulers of the dynasty, and it is even more the end of the world for you ordinary people.

Since ancient times, when the Central Plains dynasty is in chaos, the foreigners will unceremoniously swing their butcher knives at the Central Plains dynasty. You may not know the shame of Jingkang, but you will not know it compared to the ravages of slavery in previous years. I don’t know.

In June of the third year of Tianqi (1623), I heard that the number of Han people in Fuzhou had increased, and they were about to defect after accepting the "spies and messengers sent by the Ming Dynasty". The slave chief sent Dabeile Daishan, Zhaisanggu, Azige, and Dudu , Shuo Tuo and other Baylor led 20,000 troops and went to..., killed all the men and brought back a large number of children and livestock. "

In the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the slave chief issued nine edicts to investigate the so-called "grainless people" (Han people who each have less than five gold coins), and ordered the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to "treat the grainless people as enemies." "Catch them and send them here", and finally gave the order on the 27th of the first lunar month: "Kill the grainless Nikans (called Han people in Manchu) who are found and sent here." This is open genocide

3. On the third day of October in the fifth year of Tianqi, the slave chief issued a long edict, accusing the Han people of "harboring spies, accepting orders, and defecting endlessly", including Zhenjiang, Changshan Island, Sichuan City, Yaozhou, Changyi Station, Anshan, and Hainan. There were cases of armed resistance by the Han people in Zhouzhou, Jinzhou and other places, and they announced that they would kill those who defected. He ordered Baile of the Eight Banners and the generals from the general level down to the general level to lead the soldiers to go to the villages under their jurisdiction to "distinguish" the Han people. Anyone who resisted the gold would be executed. The generals obeyed the order and "divided their way. When they encountered a village or fort, they dismounted and killed them."

It was said that almost all the Liao people were killed.

In the "Khan's Edict" on the third day of October, the slave chief also ordered that all the "little people" (that is, laborers) who had not been killed for "building the city and collecting taxes" would be enslaved to the tukeso (village) of Khan and Baylor, and every day Thirteen men and seven cows in the village cultivated the land for a hundred days, eighty days for the villagers to "eat for themselves", and twenty days for "official tribute". After the Ding was assigned to the village, the rank was below the general military officer and above the military officer. "Each military officer was given a village." As a result, the Han people who were originally "counted to receive land" lost their status as "civilian households" and were reduced to "villagers" in the nature of slavery and serfs. They were forced to pay several times the amount of "counted to grant land". The Ding Fu was paid, the personal servitude increased, and the exploitation became more severe.

All these are what the slave chiefs really said. The refugees from Liaodong ran to the surrounding areas of the capital several times to survive.

This is a shame for Ming Dynasty, and a shame for all Ming people.

There are many reasons for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, but the only thing I can't forgive is that those people who had no worries about food and clothing, and were even regarded as superior people, became traitors and sold out the Ming Dynasty.

I am here today to announce to everyone in the world that Ming Dynasty will not let go of any traitors, no matter their status or background. "

On the city wall, Zhu Youjian shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.

"Forget the shame, it will return!

I hope that for the future of Ming Dynasty and for the sake of your descendants not to be bullied by foreign races, everyone in Ming Dynasty can’t help but remember this matter, and tell your descendants about it.

I declare that from now on March 19th every year will be designated as the National Humiliation Day. Only by bearing in mind the national humiliation can we... "

The reason why March 19 was chosen is because in history, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Meishan, Beijing on March 19, the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

With the demise of the Ming Dynasty, it directly started the nearly 300 years of shameful history of the Han people.

What's ridiculous is that those slaves were still under the banner of revenge for Emperor Chongzhen.

What’s even more ridiculous is that the Han people in the Qing Dynasty were inferior to dogs, and there were many people who knelt and licked the Qing Dynasty.

"On the day of national humiliation, what does your majesty mean by including the hatred of Yashan on the day of national humiliation?"

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, a knowledgeable person murmured below.

However, these knowledgeable people only dared to whisper in a low voice and did not dare to speak out loud. After all, the majesty in front of them was a master who dared to kill people.

(Historically, Emperor Chongzhen died on March 19, 17th year of Chongzhen. The date here is the lunar calendar, and the shame of Yashan was on March 19, 1279 (Gregorian calendar).)

"I know many of you are wondering why the Jin Yiwei went out to arrest people a few days ago. Now I will tell you now what is the reason for so many Jin Yiwei?

To tell you the truth, most of those arrested by Jinyiwei were traitors.

Now begins the official public trial. "

"Is that your Majesty on the tower? Your Majesty punishes us severely, and we have nothing to say, but does your Majesty know why we should become this traitor that everyone despises?"

A middle-aged man among the traffickers shouted loudly.

"Who are you?" Zhu Youjian asked from the tower looking down.

Zhu Youjian has confirmed these traitors many times, and the probability of them being unjustly accused is not high. And most people, after Zhu Youjian announced it, they were eager to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Now that there was such a shameless person, Zhu Youjian naturally became interested.

"The Cao Min's surname is Qin Mingfeng. As for his family background, I really have no shame to mention it. The Cao Min is well aware that he has sinned deeply, but before he dies, your Majesty, please listen to what the Cao Min has to say."

Qin Feng cupped his hands and said.

"Say it," Zhu Youjian said.

"From what I have seen over the years, the common people know that Your Majesty is a wise king, but does Your Majesty know how I lived when I was a child? If I had not been sold into slavery, the common people would not have known where they would have died of starvation."
