    The Taiping Rebellion failed in 1864, and a large number of prisoners of war were later brutally retaliated against by the Qing Dynasty. Most of the Taiping generals were executed by Ling Chi, and the number of knives that had to be cut was required to allow the man to die in a long agony. Most of the young soldiers were killed in direct traps or tortured, and the key point was that the executioner deliberately found a blunt knife to cut off their flesh little by little, and the screams of pain continued from morning to sunset.

    There is also a criminal law that is to cut off the head, but when cutting the head, a blunt knife is still found, and the knife is slowly cut until the last piece of skin is attached. Among the Taiping prisoners of war were young children, elderly people over 60 years old, and most women. Most young children are also executed in the form of a late death, and even more so for women who are pregnant.

    1. Most of the young soldiers were killed by Ling Chi or pits

    After the failure of the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing ** mainly dealt with young soldiers by pit killing. They were first imprisoned for a few days and never fed, and when these people were so hungry that they had no strength and were no longer able to resist, they were directly dragged to a place to be killed. Others went directly to the execution ground and were executed in front of the people.

    2. Killing a prisoner with a blunt knife makes him more painful

    When executing prisoners of war, in order to vent the anger in their hearts. For example, when performing Ling Chi torture, the executioner deliberately found a blunt knife to carry out the execution, and after each knife was cut, it was cut continuously, so the tortured person screamed continuously. Because of the large number of prisoners of war, most of them were beheaded, but blunt knives were still used to increase the suffering of the victims.

    3. Women and children will not be spared

    When some Qing soldiers executed prisoners of war, they would open up to children. But most of the time they don't escape death, and children over the age of 10 are tortured just like adults. In addition, all the women were either disemboweled, or put to death.

    Even those who are pregnant will not let go, and they will be tortured both physically and mentally.

    1. Ling Chi - a thousand cuts. Second, the memorial - digging the heart and liver. Compared with individual Ling Chi, the collective digging of hearts and livers on the battlefield is used to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, which is more deterrent.

    Every time it wins, the Hunan army will use the most brutal means to retaliate against the Taiping army and deter the living Taiping army soldiers. 3. Peeling - hanging for public display. 4. Betrayal - Labor Fighting.

    5. Female soldiers - slaughtered. 6. Heroic - people and gods are angry that after the Taiping generals were captured, they died tragically.

    The main reasons for the failure of the Taiping Rebellion were: the limitations of the uprising stage, the leaders of the Taiping Rebellion were deeply influenced by feudal ideology, and still acted with the limitations of the small peasant stage. Poorly strategized and corrupted, the Taiping army built the lavish Tianwang Mansion after occupying Nanjing, and then stagnated and indulged in pleasures.

    Finally, there is the serious intrigue among the ruling class, and the struggle for power and profit leads to the tragedy of internal strife.

    The Taiping Rebellion also had many strategic mistakes, and the leaders of the Taiping Army believed that as long as they occupied Nanjing, even if they could not succeed, they could defend the area south of the Yellow River, and even took the occupation of Nanjing as the goal of their struggle. Therefore, after the Taiping army occupied Nanjing, it did not continue to advance, but stagnated. Especially after the completion of the luxurious Tianwang Mansion, the leader began to indulge in pleasure and had no fighting spirit at all.

    Because the Taiping army from Hebei was too strong in combat, it was difficult for the Qing army to completely suppress them, so they would not become a problem again in the future, so they were simply executed.

    When the Taiping army fought against the Qing army, one of the armies was always unbreakable by the Qing army, and was almost defeated repeatedly, that is, Rong Xue'er as the representative of this Hebei soldiers, they did not join the Taiping Army in the early stage, but the latecomers came first, they set a good record after joining the battlefield for the first time, Rong Xue'er killed five Qing Dynasty soldiers alone, did not return to the Qing Army to meet them, it was the meat on the knife, and they were slaughtered.

    Secondly, in addition to being particularly good at fighting and bravery, the Taiping army from Hebei was also good at horseback riding, so even though the Qing army was more numerous than the Taiping army, it was difficult to catch the members of this small detachment from Hebei, which made the Qing generals very headache. In the Taiping Army at that time, the soldiers of Guangxi and Hebei were the most fierce and main enemies of the Qing army. So after the defeat of the Taiping army, the Qing generals executed them without hesitation.

    Only two places, Hebei and Guangxi, had soldiers executed, and the branches in other regions were incorporated into the various detachments by the Qing army. At that time, the army of the Qing Dynasty still needed people, but they were willing to put these brave soldiers to death, and they were unwilling to keep them in the army, which shows how jealous and afraid the Qing army was of Hebei origin at that time, and it confirmed the courage of these soldiers.

    At any time, people often want to take the lead in solving those people and things that pose a greater threat, so the Taiping army from Hebei will suffer this fate.

    Those old Taiping troops in Hunan and Hubei can be released, but the new Taiping troops in Hebei will be executed? The Qing Dynasty people themselves gave an explanation: "There are many warriors, that is, they are thieves, and the monks are not allowed to include them."

    Most of these Hebei Taiping troops were brave and helpful. Monk Grinchen hated them and ordered them all to be executed.

    How brave are these people? One of the captives named Rong Xue'er was a native of Anping, Hebei, and later the Taiping Army came, so he joined the Taiping Army himself. In the first battle, 5 Qing soldiers were killed.

    At the time of interrogation, Rong Xueer said that when she was fighting, she took a gun and stabbed it. The three who wore the top were pierced to death, and they were pierced in the temple, left rib and chest.

    Moreover, many of these Hebei Taiping soldiers were good at riding horses, rushing left and right in the Zhili Plain, and escaped from the tight encirclement of the Qing army many times. Later, the Twist Army rose, Anhui, Shandong and Hebei people joined the Twist Army in large numbers, and the Twist Army was all riding mules and horses for hundreds of miles, carrying out large-scale movement warfare For this reason, the Qing Army executed all the captured Taiping troops from Guangxi and Hebei. All under the age of 15 were enslaved.

    Taiping prisoners from other provinces were incorporated into the Qing army.
