One of the most brutal massacres in Huang Kui's history.

In the history of China, there have been many cruel massacres, among which the four butchers in Huang Kui are one. This happened during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, because officials at that time took extreme measures when dealing with the Huang Kui uprising, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. Let's take a closer look at this event.

background

Huang Kui Uprising was a peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of the rebel army was Huang Chao. The reason for their uprising was that the social, political and economic conditions at that time were very bad, the people's lives were very difficult, and the court was corrupt. After the outbreak of the Huang Kui Uprising, it quickly gained wide support, and the scale of the rebel army became larger and larger.

Kill Huang Kui.

At that time, the Ming government took very strict measures to suppress the Huang Kui uprising, which was the four butchers in Huang Kui. The four butchers in Huang Kui are "Butcher City, Butcher Township, Butcher Village and Butcher", that is, they kill all the people at the city, township, village and household levels. This extreme measure has caused countless deaths and greatly damaged the social and economic situation of the whole region.

operation sequence/order

1. Slaughterhouse: First of all, the massacre, that is, killing everyone in the city. There were many people in the city at that time. They didn't take part in the uprising, but the government thought they might support it, so they were all slaughtered.

2. Tu Xiang: The next step is Tu Xiang, which means killing all the people in the township. Most of the people in the village were farmers. They didn't have any political stance, but the government thought they might support the uprising, so they were all slaughtered.

3. Tuzhai: Then Tuzhai means killing everyone in the village. Most people in the stockade are supporters of the rebels. They played an important role in the uprising, so the government thought they were the main force of the uprising and slaughtered them all.

4. Butcher: Finally, the butcher, that is, killing all the people in the family. Most people in the family are ordinary people. They didn't have any political stance, but the government thought they might support the uprising, so they were all slaughtered.

final result

The fourth massacre in Huang Kui was one of the cruellest massacres in the history of China, which caused tens of thousands of deaths and brought great damage to the social and economic situation at that time. This incident makes us deeply realize that the government should not take extreme measures when dealing with social problems, but should protect people's lives and property as much as possible.
