One Hundred and Nine, the Eunuch Party torture camp

On December 6th, there were scenes of flags flying and tents everywhere. [】【】

——More than 7,000 "Five Kingdom Debt Collection Army", plus more than 1,000 elite eunuch party backbones, set off from Zhenjiang Daying, and advanced to the foot of Zijin Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, camped and troops were stationed, preparing to attack the city.

More than two months later, General Fili Taylor's double bear underwear flag finally floated again in the suburbs of the imperial capital Nanjing.

Standing on the huge rocks on the mountain top with the howling cold wind, facing the rising sun, looking down at the huge city with a tightly closed gate in front of him through the telescope. Recalling the past three months of military struggle, General Ferry Taylor was truly moved for a moment.

——After working hard for so long, it’s finally time to harvest the fruits of victory

Thinking of the secret room of Xiangrui, the already empty vault safe, and the rows of shocking deficits on the public and private books, General Feiri Taylor couldn't help but feel a little confused.

——In order to maintain the huge expenses of this war of interference, he had already put all his last little private money on his pocket, leaving him empty-handed. If he hadn't made any payment in the past few days, he would probably not even be able to pay the military pay this month.

Fortunately, at this wonderful moment, the dawn of victory has quietly arrived, and the treasure house of glorious is already in front of you

Of course, in order to plunder the gold, silver and treasures that are urgently needed from all corners of this huge city, it is obvious that some special equipment and means are needed, and it is best to have a group of well-known "professionals" responsible for handling this matter...

Thinking of this, he naturally turned around and said to an old eunuch who was following him:

"...Yayi'an, in the morning, I asked you to supervise the 5,000 pairs of pinch sticks that I have urged to work. How is it now?"

"...Oh hehe, don't worry, these 5,000 pairs of sticks can be made until this afternoon at most... But although those kids are quite diligent, the time is too tight after all, and they don't have time to polish, and they are a bit rough... I wonder if it's a problem?"

Yayi'an's father-in-law touched his chin with a reserved touch, and opened his mouth to see a string of creepy smirks. Although he was a flattering look on his face and his humble attitude was so humble that the eunuch's unique duck voice still made Feili feel shuddered when he heard it.

"...It's okay, it's okay." Feili waved her hand casually, "...It's better to have some burrs, otherwise how can those hard bones confess?"

Looking back, in the camp of Zijin Mountain, there was a busy scene of rushing to work. While the coalition soldiers who were trekking all the way were sitting in front of the tents in groups of three or three, more than a thousand strong eunuchs who were traveling with the battle were dragging their equally tired bodies around Zijin Mountain, busy cutting wood, cutting bamboo, collecting ropes and other materials, and creating the traditional torture tool commonly used in the East.

——The so-called clamping stick is to string wooden sticks or bamboo sticks into a bunch with ropes, let the prisoner put his fingers in the gap between the sticks, and then pull the ropes hard, making the bones twitch, and even break the fingers... As the saying goes, "Ten fingers even heartache" is also

To be honest, although Yayi'an respectfully obeyed the orders, he was very surprised, "...making 5,000 pairs of pinched sticks is just a trivial matter. If you don't want to mention it, you suddenly want to create these many torture instruments. Why is it?"

Feili thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "...I'm not hiding it. I'm sending troops to your country this time to collect debts. So no matter what kind of victory you have achieved, as long as you haven't been able to get back the debt and military expenses, you still can't explain it to the higher authorities."

"...So, are you planning to use these sticks to question the powerful and wealthy families in Beijing to extort money and grain to supply military supplies?"

Yayi'an's father-in-law suddenly realized and nodded with a clear face. After conquering the city, the looting of soldiers has always been the privilege of the victors. From ancient times to the present, he and Guo Bo plundered each other fiercely. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is three feet high.

Even a person who is as noble as the "Fei Xianghu" Admiral Li Huamei, who advocates military discipline, after seizing his hometown Hangzhou, did not forget to force the rich gentry and family members in the city to collectively subscribe to large amounts of "** bonds", and confiscate the property of the imperial bureaucrats to accumulate military expenses and prepare combat supplies... If this were not the case, how could her Li family fleet and Yang Xien's 20,000 troops be moved?

As the saying goes, once a gun fires, there will be tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver. If you cannot raise military expenses, no matter how powerful the war machine is, it will only stop the plane and stop the sound.

"...but there is still something unknown to our family. Now there is no reinforcements outside and no guards inside, so it is vulnerable. Looking around the capital, whether it is Li Huamei from Hangzhou or Liu Yefei from Jiangbei, they are determined not to compete with you for this spoil. Since this Nanjing city is the fat meat in the mouth of the army, why should you be so urgent?" Yayi'an blinked and asked again.

"... My father-in-law is right. The problem is that although the meat has been eaten, it has not been swallowed yet. I am so hungry in my stomach."

Hearing Yayi's question, Feili couldn't help but smile bitterly, her expression on her face was extremely entangled, and she almost burst into tears.

"... Although I had known that this capital would definitely be full of gold and silver, it was not placed openly outside. If I could not find the way, I would probably have to achieve twice the result with half the effort and delay the time... But our army really couldn't wait - the consuls of various countries and the stingy people in the Wojin Temple were sending letters to collect the bill every day, and the soldiers of various countries below were also chasing me for the rewards after victory."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his subject, "...I heard that Eunuch Ya once served as the Minister of the Interior and Chief Executive of the Dawei Imperial Household, serving the Dajin royal family for more than 20 years. Where is the treasure treasury of this royal family? There are also the Manchu and Han tyrants in the capital, who are poor and who are rich, how much gold can be collected, and how many burial objects can be found in the suburbs. I must have a clear idea of ​​it if you can give advice and inform me, so that we and these laymen will not make trouble..."

——In fact, if you use some prophetic spells, even if you know nothing about the city, you can still find out where the treasure is. But first of all, there is no mage around Feili who specializes in prophecy, and secondly, although the level of this spell is very high, it cannot be 100% accurate... Therefore, he still adopted the simplest and most direct method of plundering.

"...In order to recover the stolen money as soon as possible, I plan to set up a torture camp temporarily, with Eunuch Ya and your eunuch party generals on their behalf..."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible to hire senior professionals like Yayi'an as torture officers and bring a group of eunuchs to take charge of the matter of recovering stolen money and helping the money.

So Feili immediately granted the title of Yayi'an as the commander of the garrison and governor of Nanjing. In addition, a large area of ​​territory around Nanjing, such as Zhenjiang, Wuhu and other prefectures, which can be used to reward his disciples. Anyway, these cities and territory are all things in Feili's eyes. He can neither occupy nor have the intention to snatch them, and he will not feel sorry for throwing them out casually.

But for the Duke Yayi's promise, Feili's promise seemed very valuable. As the ** was about to win and the court was about to end, the heinous hatred and resentment in the past few years in the Duke Yayi's heart gradually dissipated. After this spirit of fighting to the death gradually faded, he began to involuntarily start long-term plans and gradually worry about his future future:

After all, this eunuch is a discriminated against in society. Even if the halo of a "** elder brother" is used as a talisman, it is difficult to reverse the traditional concepts that have been formed over the years. In order not to be bullied in the future, as the leader of the eunuch party, the eunuch Yayi'an had to find a way to gain some territory and power in any case, to settle their followers and reward their achievements for their years of hard work.

However, it is not easy to occupy a piece of land - although the land left behind after the collapse of the Great Jin Dynasty was vast and vast, the warlords and vassal states of various parties, the rebel generals of the court, and the leader of the ** party had a greater appetite: the court and the emperor had not yet died, and everyone was already sharing the spoils.

——The Black Flag Army leaped thousands of miles and occupied Fujian and Taiwan across the sea; Li Huamei used foreign aid to seize Zhejiang and then marched into Jiangsu; Qin King Li Zongyun captured the entire province of Sichuan and looked at Yunnan and Guizhou; Qi Duke Liu Yefei fought from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, controlling the entire Jiangbei area of ​​Jiangsu Province; Changde and Hengyang Jiedushi divided Hunan equally after the fire broke out; Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi, Central Plains and other places also formed ** governments.

As for the richest fertile land in Jiangnan, it was divided into pieces: Fei Liguo entrenched in Suzhou, and Anerle and Wang Qinian controlled Wuxi, Songjiang and Shanghai. There were also attacks from the north and south of the Qi army and Zhejiang army outside. Liu Yefei, the Duke of Qi in the north, was still not satisfied after capturing Yangzhou. He was tentatively landing in Jiangyin and gaining a foothold in Jiangnan. And Yang Xien, a veteran of the Li family, had already rushed out of the province, conquered Yixing, and was facing Lishui, and rushed towards Nanjing in a fierce manner.

After all, in addition to the territory around Gyeonggi and Anhui Province in the west, the big cake produced by the collapse of the Great Jin Dynasty has been almost allocated. There is also a senior veteran of the ** Party, Wen Desi, the Prime Minister of the Democratic League, who has many fans in the Party and the people. Because he had been timid and did not dare to go to the battlefield, he has not been able to get the territory so far, and is eager to jump up and down and move around.

Although the eunuch party of Yayi'an's eunuch party, although it is known to have millions of people, is actually a existence that is neither rich nor status, like the Beggars' Sect. It is just that because the eunuchs have reached the extreme and have almost nothing to lose, with a mad dog spirit that has broken apart, it has made some power in this area around the capital. If you go a little further, you will have no say at all.

Therefore, when General Feili Taylor, who was about to take over Nanjing, actually intended to hand over the entire capital to the eunuch party that was deeply rooted here after withdrawing the troops, Yayi'an was naturally ecstatic and hurriedly took over the promising and well-off work of the torture camp chief manager - since it was a house-scaping, how could the staff not copying themselves into a mob?

Since the position of the chief manager of the torture camp has been determined, we will naturally discuss the methods and methods of carrying out the work.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Generally speaking, due to physical incompleteness, the psychological state of this eunuch is usually somewhat perverted, basically not just, or can be attacked or affected.

This former Minister of the Interior and Chief Executive of the Interior, and the current leader of the "** Eunuch Party", the Grand Duke Yayi'an, is probably due to his high position and power, and has obviously had a very serious tendency to violence and curiosity. After he just happily accepted the appointment of the Chief Executive of the torture camp, he immediately made the following rational suggestions to Feili:

It is indeed good to use a stick to torture and blackmail, but if it is the same, it would be a bit too monotonous and boring.

We should do more tricks to improve artistry and fun, so as not to lose the reputation of his father-in-law. When idle people see it, they laughed and said, "The torture technology of my torture camp of the coalition forces is really sad. Even the methods of rural landlords torture tenants are far inferior to those of the rent-raising...

In order to improve the persuasion of this rational suggestion, the Grand Duke of Yayi'an pointed his fingers and listed various tricks such as nailing beds, standing cages, hanging cages, hot-burning, needle-punching, riding wooden donkeys, and red embroidered shoes (forcing prisoners to step on the red iron plate). They vividly described the exquisite and stimulating aspects of the above torture, and spoke in a vivid way, with a flushed complexion and rapid breathing... They were so excited that they had just knocked on powder.

Although Feili felt a little disgusting and nauseous when she heard it, in order to improve the efficiency of the top priority of "recovering stolen money and helping money", she nodded and agreed, allowing Master Yan Ya to let go - torture whatever you like, as long as you can pay the money at that time, it will be fine

There is only a tedious process of skinning the mercury living person, because the mercury consumed has nowhere to be obtained, and it was temporarily rejected by Feili. But if the father-in-law Yayi'an had a way to get mercury from Nanjing City by himself, Feili would not object to him peeling a few people and playing with lanterns...

Originally, the matter had come to an end. Unexpectedly, the robber leader Hojo Shihiko, who was incorporated in Japan, happened to hear the conversation between Feili and Yayi'an, and thought it was a very good job, so he begged for nothing to come and take part in:

"...Dear sir, it's rare to have such an interesting job, why don't you call me? Their Central Plains punishment methods are all kinds of, but the torture of our specialties in Japan is also very practical. For example, this straw raincoat dance and living tea are very good for torture treasures - in the past, the famous princes and famous men on Jiuzhou Island all liked these two entertainments the most."

"...Sweater dancing? Living tea?" Feili was confused when she heard it, but she became interested, "...You might as well talk about it in detail."

So, Hojo Shihiko introduced these two famous tortures that he had heard of, and slowly introduced to Feili - this straw raincoat dance is to tie the oil-splashed straw raincoat on the prisoner and then ignite the fire. The tortured person was naturally burned to death and screamed and danced in a while. The princes and daimyos who were watching sat aside and laughed, calling this punishment "travel dance".

As for the "living tea", it is even more perverted. It is to throw the living people into a large pot full of water, boil the fire and boil until it boils. While listening to the wailing sound of the unlucky ghost before being scalded, it is brewing tea with boiling water to experience the elegant Zen meaning. In the past, when the shogunate locked the country, warriors from various vassals caught smugglers from the sea, they usually liked to use them to perform the "tea ceremony" of living tea...

Moreover, after describing these two tortures, Hojo Shihiko presented a new benefit in a very "thrifty" way:

"... What's even better is that after the straw rain dance and living tea performances are finished, the corpse can still be used by waste and directly reward the remaining zombies - it happens to be the freshest barbecue and stewed meat meal. It is guaranteed that those zombies who eat raw meat and drink blood still want to eat it."

When I heard that I was going to eat people again, Feili felt a little tempted to vomit for a moment - could I really come here to lead beasts to eat people this time?

Well, it also helps the gnolls to upgrade their human meat consumption, from raw to cooked food?

However, the old man Yayi'an heard the eyes lit up and nodded in praise: "...No, no, these two criminal laws are similar to the "two-legged sheep" in Chinese history books. Although they have been lost in the Central Plains, they did not expect that there are still ancient styles left in Japan... Well, very good. When we go to the city torture in a few days, we must experiment with it and see the beauty of this straw raincoat dance and living tea..."

——So, with Feili's decision and Yayi'an agreed, Hojo Hikaru got the position of deputy general manager of the torture camp as he wished. And the tragic fate of the Manchu nobles in Nanjing seemed to have been confirmed... Well, it seems that he had forgotten something?

"...Admiral Taylor, I think it is necessary for you to give us an explanation"

A roar full of anger suddenly interrupted the conversation between Feili and others.

Looking down, he saw the heroic Admiral Li Huamei, who had rushed past the commander's guards at some point, and ran up the mountain in three steps, passing through the grass and shrubs that were in trouble, jumping into the Philippines agilely with a few quick moves, and asked with a fierce look on his hips and questioning:

"...Why not let our ** army participate in the Nanjing strategy and win the supreme glory of expelling the Tartars and restoring the mountains and rivers?"...
