1, 10th in Yangzhou

Yangzhou 10th was also called Yangzhou Massacre. It refers to the massacre of Yangzhou people by the Qing army after Shi Kefa led them to stop the Qing army from invading the south and failed to defend the war. At that time, the survivor Wang Xiuchu's Ten Days in Yangzhou and the historian Ji's Ming Lue both recorded that the massacre lasted for ten days, hence the name "Ten Days in Yangzhou".

After fierce resistance, Yangzhou fell, and the Qing soldiers slaughtered and looted, and did not seal the knife for ten days. Generations of bustling Yangzhou, corpses lying everywhere, hands and feet touching each other, rivers of blood turned into five colors, the pond was flat, and the city was littered with corpses. Except for a few who escaped before the city was broken and a few who survived after the Qing army entered the city, almost all Yangzhou residents were slaughtered. Monks only collected 800,000 bodies.

2. Three pictures of Jiading

The Three Slaughters in Jiading was the third massacre of civilians in the city in 1645 (the first year of Hong Guang in Nanming and the second year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty). The Qing army issued a haircut order, but Jiading people refused to accept it. Squire Hou Tong once led Jiading gentry and people to revolt against the Qing Dynasty, and Li Chengdong, the company commander of Wusong in Qing Dynasty, immediately led 5,000 troops to attack.

Jiading City was breached, and Li Chengdong ordered the massacre. Among the citizens, there were some hanging beams, some throwing themselves into wells, some throwing themselves into rivers, some with blood all over their faces, some who were amputated, some who were still alive after their limbs were cut off, and blood was flying everywhere, which was a mess. Women were brutally raped. In case of resistance, the army nailed the hands of the rebellious women to the door panel with spikes and then raped them. The massacre lasted for a day until the body blocked the river and about 30 thousand people were killed.

3. Fenzhou Massacre

The Fenzhou Massacre refers to the large-scale massacres carried out by Boluo, "Prince Duan" and Mandahai in Fenzhou, Taigu, Qinzhou, Zezhou and other places in Shanxi Province in the Qing Dynasty (from September to November in the third year of Li Yong in the Southern Ming Dynasty).

4. The massacre in Jiaxing

According to the records of Jiaxing, it was June 6, 2008. In order to resist the atrocities of the Qing army, Jiaxing people rose up. Tu, a bachelor of Hanlin in Ming Dynasty, and soldiers in Ming Dynasty were in charge of this matter. Chen Wu, the general of Jiaxing in the Ming Dynasty, was appointed as the general anyway, and the former official department paid for it. On the 26th, the city fell. Except for a large number of young women captured by the Qing army and some surviving monks, almost all the residents who could not escape were massacred. The history is called Jiaxing Massacre.

5. Nanchang massacre

From 1939 to 1945, more than 64,400 Nanchang residents were massacred during the Japanese invasion of Nanchang, which was one of the dead cities of the Japanese fascist aggression and massacre in the Second World War.
