Chapter 868 (1/2)

Hearing Shangguan Xuanhong's confident words, the corners of his heart raised slightly, ”if you can, you can use the top ten torture of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!”

”What are the top ten torture in Manchu and Qing Dynasty?” Shangguan Xuanhong asked in wonder!

After thinking for a while, he said, ”the top ten torture in the Qing Dynasty include: peeling, waist cutting, car cracking, all five punishments, lingchi, hanging head, cooking, palace punishment, cutting off punishment, inserting needles, burying alive, poison, stick punishment, sawing, cutting vertebrae, filling lead, playing pipa, pulling intestines and riding a wooden donkey.

Peeling

When peeling, the skin on the back is divided into two parts by a knife under the spine. Slowly use the knife to separate the skin and muscles, and tear them apart like a bat spreading its wings. In this way, the stripped person can't stop breathing until more than a day. The most difficult thing is fat, because there is a pile of oil between skin and muscle, which is difficult to separate[ 4]

There is also a stripping method. I don't know how reliable it is. The method is to bury people in the soil, expose only one head, cut a cross with a knife on the top of the head, open the scalp, and pour silver into it. Because the mercury is very heavy, it will pull the muscles away from the skin. People buried in the soil will writhe in pain and can't break free. Finally, the body will jump out of the mouth above the head, leaving only one skin in the soil

Wei Zhongxian likes to pour asphalt on the victim's body and beat it with a hammer after condensation. Asphalt and human skin fall off together, and a complete human skin is obtained by washing off the asphalt.

After the skin is peeled off, it is made into two drums and hung at the gate of the Yamen to show jiongjie. The earliest peeling was after death, and later developed into survival.

Ten major torture in Manchu and Qing Dynasties

Waist cutting, as the name suggests, is that the executioner cuts the prisoner's waist in two with a heavy axe. Because the waist cut is to cut a person from the middle, and the main organs are in the upper part of the body, the prisoner will not die at once. After the cut, he will be sober and will die after a long time. During Shang Yang's reform, it was clearly stipulated that if a family committed a crime and the neighbors did not report it, they would be beheaded.

Some people think that Fang Xiaoru was beheaded, but in fact he was executed by lingchi.

It is said that one of Bao Qingtian's three choppers is used to cut the waist.

Car crack

That is, the five horses are divided into five parts. It is very simple, that is, put a rope around the victim's head and limbs, run in five directions by five fast horses, and tear the person into five pieces, because the head falls first, followed by the two arms. When only the legs are connected to the trunk, the tension will break one leg, and the trunk will stay on the other leg. However, according to the understanding, it is not necessarily that the limbs will be broken from the established parts, because the wrists and ankles are much more fragile than the roots. I remember Shang Yang was punished by a car crack, but after he was defeated and died, his body was brought back to the place to be exposed to the public.

It takes a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, not to mention pulling. The sufferings of the tortured person can be imagined. By the time it is torn open, I'm afraid the tortured person will no longer feel pain. The pain is when you are pulling. The blood splashed out is the horror.

The top ten torture punishments in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties

Beheading, cutting off, cutting hands, digging eyes and cutting ears, that is, to ”break into eight pieces”, usually after killing people, people's heads, hands and feet are cut off, and then the trunk is cut into three pieces. After the death of Han Gao, he took his pet lady, his wife *, and cut off his hands and feet. He cut off his nose, ears, tongue, eyes and dug in a pigsty. And asked his son Huidi Liu Ying to see it together. As a result, the weak Liu Ying was frightened and never recovered.

put to death by dismembering the body.

The earliest is to kill people and then chop them into meat sauce, which is called ”Xi”. Those who have been punished remember Zilu and Boyi Kao, the eldest son of King Wen of Zhou.

Later, the development was more elaborate, and the purpose was to make the prisoner suffer the greatest pain. Therefore, it was not only to impose punishment when he was alive, but also to require the victim to receive how many knives before he died.
