The expansion of human nature and beast in the process of Ming Dynasty's demise.

Less than a month after the capture of Chongqing, rogue Zhang began to attack Chengdu, Sichuan. There were 30,000 imperial troops in Chengdu at that time. Supposedly, this 30,000-strong army still has certain resistance. However, when the world was in chaos, the king of Shu was still thinking about his power and how to engage in intrigue. Shu Wang's behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of Sichuan Governor Liu Zhibo. He committed suicide by jumping into the river. When he failed, Liu stayed at home. This incident relaxed Chengdu at that time. Bandits took this opportunity, Qiao Zhuang disguised himself, mixed into Chengdu, and settled down in some monasteries. After such a layout, the rogue insiders in Chengdu were all over the streets at that time. After four days behind closed doors, Liu Zhibo came out to deal with related affairs at the pleading of a group of officials. At this point, the layout of bandits has been properly completed. When Liu Zhibo and other officials asked Shu Wang for money, Shu Wang loved money. I really don't know life and death, only power and money.

At that time, King Shu said this:

"You want to pay, right? There is a lot of money in my vault, so I can't touch it. There is a transportation hall next door. If you want, you can tear it down and sell it for some money. "

Zhi-bo liu flew into a rage and said:

"Your highness, I don't think anyone can afford your transportation hall. I thought that only Li Zicheng could afford it. "

Looking at this paragraph today seems to be a joke. But the ecstasy of power and money, who doesn't know the taste by eating the marrow, who won't get drunk after eating it?

In this way, Chengdu was captured by the gunfire of rogue Zhang. Inside and outside Chengdu, men and women, old and young, good guys and bad guys, soldiers and civilians and bandits are attacking. The bandits saw Qi's killing. I have been killing for three days before I began to surrender. This is the nature of animals, look at it! On this day, King Shu and his first wife jumped into the well. On this day, Liu Zhibo, Sichuan Governor Liu and Huayang County Magistrate Shen Yunzuo put on official clothes, facing south, and committed suicide by taking poison. On this day, many unknown officials were killed in the melee; On this day, an official surrendered. This man is Wu Jishan, the magistrate of a county in Chengdu. He held an official seal in his left hand and a concubine in his right, begging for mercy in front of a flowing horse.

Three days after the fall of Chengdu, bandits fished out the bodies of the king and princess of Shu from the well. Zhang personally cut the body three times with a knife and let his men carry it out and throw it into the river. When the prince was eighteen, his princess, grandson and two infantas (ranging from seven to eight years old to teenagers) were all taken alive and taken care of by Zhang's confidant.
