Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

In the end, he became a general and a general, and he could arrest people and pay them...

……

Keep talking about Liu Zongmin!

Liu Zongmin was corrupted by Chen Yan, so he captured Wang Zhixin, the eunuch boss, and wanted to force 30 silver to come out.

Among the eunuchs, Wang Zhixin has a high seniority.

Even Wang Chengen, the old man who followed Chongzhen from Prince Xin's Mansion, had to call him "ancestor".

Previously, Chongzhen persuaded people to donate, but under the premise that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty only contributed a few hundred taels of silver, Wang Zhixin donated 1 taels himself and another 20 taels with his eunuchs.

Unexpectedly, the eunuchs donated money, but...

Ugh!

Chongzhen handed over the more than 20 silver to the treasury and distributed it to the soldiers guarding the city.

The back foot was exchanged for Ming coins by the civil servants, and each soldier guarding the city was only given one hundred Ming coins (yellow money).

The remaining money was all put into the civil servant's pocket!

In the days when the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, it was not that there were no loyal ministers and righteous men!

There is no need to say anything about the courtiers...

Just the day before the city was destroyed, a man in his sixties walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Household Affairs with his life savings.

His hand covered with age spots tremblingly handed over 400 taels of silver and said:

“This is a family fortune that I have saved up through a lifetime of frugality.

My sons all went to the city to fight and died. None of my sons had a family, not even a grandson.

I keep the money, and I won’t take it with me until I die.

If you don't donate it all, you can help His Majesty a little. "

This incident reached Chongzhen's ears, and Chongzhen cried with his head in arms.

Choking with sobs, he ordered his chamberlain to give the old man the official status of Jinyiwei Qianhu...

This old man did not leave his name in history, he only left such a story...

The fragrant white lotus often comes from the ground covered by the smelly mud!

In the long time and space, those who will not leave their names in the history books should be remembered as the backbone of China.

In history, after Chongzhen's body was found, Li Zicheng ordered it to be carried out with two door panels and placed limply outside Donghua Gate.

At this time, tens of thousands of officials in the capital were busy courting Li Zicheng, and they had to pass by Chongzhen's body several times every day.

Facing the miserable corpse of the monarch from five days ago...

But only the descendant of Uncle Xiangcheng, Li Guozhen, grabbed the ground with his head and cried to death.

(Li Guozhen finally had his ankle broken when he was forced to pay, and he hanged himself to death.)

Out of tens of thousands of officials, only about thirty people cried out when faced with Chongzhen's miserable corpse.

There were only about 60 people who bowed their hands and bowed a few times.

The rest were all squinting, leering, and swaggering past, and some were even laughing and pointing...

There are even some people who don’t even get off their horses! (The horseman is Zhou Zhong, Hanlin of Jiangsu Province.)

Three days later, under Li Guozhen's persuasion and the request of the three prince brothers, Li Zicheng used a thin willow coffin to restrain Chongzhen.

A majestic emperor, in the end, the pillow under his head was not a jade pillow or a golden pillow, but just a lump of earth...

Li Guozhen threatened to die and asked Li Zicheng to treat Chongzhen's body well.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to put on Chongzhen's shoes, hastily combed his hair, and then painted the willow coffin thinly with red paint...

There was a commoner named Tang Zhiqiong who delivered food to the palace.

He witnessed the process of Chongzhen's burial, and burst into tears. When Chongzhen's coffin was sent out of the capital, he passed by him——

"Your Majesty, why is the country so ruined and the family so ruined?

The common people are willing to follow His Majesty and the underground! "

Tang Zhiqiong let out a mournful cry, crashed into the stone steps, and committed suicide...

His name is Tang Zhiqiong.

Born as a vegetable servant.

There was also a beggar who took advantage of the chaos and ran to the tower to hang himself.

People didn't know his name, but they saw a letter of fate in his pocket, which read: "As a beggar, I am also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty is dead, what will I do in life?"

There was a woodcutter in the south of the Yangtze River. When he heard that he was going to die, he threw himself into the water and died.

……

Li Zicheng did not allocate any money for the burial of Chongzhen.

The people of the capital spontaneously carried Chongzhen's coffin and headed for Changping.

Chongzhen ascended the throne for 17 years, but he did not start building his own tomb as soon as he ascended the throne like other emperors.

There is no cemetery in Chongzhen.

Changping is the tomb of Tian Guifei, the concubine of Chongzhen. Because the country is short of money, it has not been completed yet...

The common people carried the coffins of Chongzhen and the Queen to be buried in Concubine Tian's tomb.

however……

Li Zicheng didn't allocate a penny!

The former courtiers did not donate a penny!

In the vast south of the Yangtze River, people everywhere are extremely rich, but not even a single penny has been given away!

Finally, Zhao Yigui, a small official in Changping, and some scholars and villagers organized a fundraiser.

They collected "340 thousand coins" (about 400 taels of silver) and finally "oversaw the work for four days and nights."

It was not until the fourth day of the fourth lunar month in 1644 that Emperor Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were hastily buried in the tomb of Chongzhen's beloved concubine, Tian Guifei.

……

However, this miserable scene, worth billions of nobles, could not be put on the screen...

On the contrary, it is the little braids who have been playing the story of ancestral love (whitewashing) for many years...

……

Liu Zongmin only took out 15 silver from Wang Zhixin.

There's only so much King's Heart left!

These 15 taels were already Wang Zhixin's entire savings.

"How dare you, that eunuch, say that you have no money!"

Liu Zongmin whipped his whip fiercely and said angrily:

"When Chongzhen asked for payment earlier, you also said the same thing and said you had no money!

Now, it’s not like I was forced to pay a huge sum of 15 yuan by this general! "

"You old dog, if you don't confess today, I will beat you to death in the Dongchang Prison and let you taste the taste of the people you beat to death!"

Seeing that Liu Zongmin was still going to be tortured, Wang Zhixin cried out:

"So that General Liu will know that the slave is just a eunuch and has no control.

All the relatives at home have long since passed away. This city of Beijing is the slave’s home!

This old slave has no heirs, no descendants to support us!

When he is old, the only people who will wait for the old slave to return to the West are outsiders!

The old slave only has a few coins hidden in his hand. Only when he becomes old and can no longer move will he have the possibility of a good death.

At that time, whoever serves the old slave well will be given money by the old slave...

If the old slave has no money, who will pay attention to this dirty guy like us! "

The king burst into tears.

If he had known it would end like this, why would he have kept this coffin?

It would be better if the whole piece was given to the emperor...

However, how could Liu Zongmin, whose appetite had been nurtured by Chen Yan, believe Wang Zhixin's words from the bottom of his heart!

He waved his hand to let the soldiers continue beating him.

Wang Zhi said anxiously:

"If the general doesn't believe it, even if I beat the old slave to death, I won't be able to get a penny out of it!"

Liu Zongmin was furious.

Ordered the torture to continue.

However, no matter how much he was tortured, even if the king's heart was beaten black and blue until he was dying, he could not force out a single cent of money...

Wang Zhixin was beaten to death.

Liu Zongmin fought to the end, and Wang Zhixin could not hand over an extra penny or a copper plate...
