Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky screen appears.

A scene of the Qing Dynasty palace appeared on the screen. Sitting in the main seat was a slightly fat man with an imperial face. He said softly:

[Sent to Ningguta, and became a slave to the armored men.]

Following his gentle words.

The camera switches to another family.

They could tell at a glance that they were a pampered family.

After receiving the order to be exiled, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and they almost fainted on the spot.

And the picture reverses.

After a montage, the exiled couple returned to the capital.

But after this short transition of just a few seconds.

It can be seen that after being exiled to Ningguta, they have become extremely haggard and old.

Although he was picked up by his daughter and changed into new clothes and washed thoroughly, he was completely clean.

But the overall difference is already a world of difference.

His expression was cautious, his eyes revealed fear, and his hair was completely white.

They are simply not the same couple as the radiant, delicate-skinned, and elegant people in the previous picture.

Although Tianmu didn't say it explicitly.

But everyone knows that this shows that they have undergone tremendous changes after being exiled to Ningguta.

And Tianmu only began to officially tell the story at this time.

[Dear audience friends, today we will identify the popular exile locations on the Internet. 】

【Ningguta.】

[What kind of hell on earth is hidden in this place of exile that frequently appears in Qing Dynasty palace dramas? 】

[What are those prisoners who would rather commit suicide afraid of? ]

[Ningguta is located in Gucheng Village, Changting Town, Hailin City, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. ]

【It is not a tower, but the name of an area. 】

[In Manchu, "Ninggu" means "six" and "Ta" means "one".]

[It is said that the six sons of Fuman, the great-grandfather of Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, once lived here, hence the name.]

[Ningguta has a vast area, covering the eastern part of Heilongjiang Province and the eastern part of Jilin Province. During the Qing Dynasty, it was a borderland in the far north.]

[In theory, Ningguta can be said to be the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. ]

[But when the Eight Banners cavalry broke through Shanhaiguan, this important military town located on the banks of Mudanjiang River in Heilongjiang Province today became an abyss that swallowed millions of souls.]

[Ningguta became a place of exile, which has deep historical roots. ]

[In order to consolidate their rule, the Qing Dynasty rulers often used exile as a punishment for those who committed serious crimes but whose crimes did not warrant death.]

[Ningguta became one of the ideal places for exile due to its remoteness and desolateness.]

【After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, this place has always been an important military town. 】

[It was the military, political and economic center of the northeastern frontier where the Qing government governed the vast areas along the Heilongjiang and Wusuli Rivers.]

[However, after the Qing army entered the country, the Northeast region, as the birthplace of the dragon, was once banned from development. ]

【As a result, the population of the Northeast region is very small.】

[The rise of Tsarist Russia brought new threats of external invasion. ]

[Ningguta is unable to attract population due to its extremely harsh geographical and climatic environment.]

[Exiling these prisoners to Ningguta could quickly increase the local labor force. ]

[Since the Shunzhi period, a large number of criminals and their families have been exiled to Ningguta.]

[It was difficult for prisoners exiled to Ningguta to come, and even more difficult to leave.]

[Many people stayed in Ningguta until they died.]

[During the entire Qing Dynasty, approximately 150 million prisoners were exiled to the Ningguta area.]

[These people include political prisoners, literati, ordinary people, etc. They come from different classes, but they all embark on this painful road of exile for various reasons. ]

[The Qing Dynasty rulers set this place as a place of exile, hiding a double purpose. ]

[We must use the flesh and blood of Han prisoners to build the northeastern border defense. ]

[We will also let the land of dragon rise forever echo with the pressure of the conqueror. 】

……

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

After reading this introduction about the exiled prisoners in Ningguta, Ying Zheng snorted coldly:
"The rulers of the Qing Dynasty do have some tricks."

"Exiling criminals to remote areas can not only punish the criminals, but also increase labor for the border and strengthen border defense, killing two birds with one stone."

As the founder of the Lingnan Legion.

Ying Zheng understood this all too well.

"Back then, I sent 500,000 Lingnan troops southward."

"They fought their way through the mountains, faced complex terrain and uncivilized barbarians, and worked hard to open up the country."

"Soldiers not only have to fight, but also have the responsibility to spread the culture of the Qin Dynasty and reclaim the land."

"This is very different from the Qing Dynasty's exile of criminals to Ningguta, which seems to be for frontier affairs, but in fact it is very different."

Ying Zheng asked Fusu, saying:

"Fusu, the barbarian Qing Dynasty and the Lingnan Legion of my Great Qin seem to have exiled some criminals to foreign lands."

"But there is a great difference between the two. Do you see that?"

Fusu was also quite clever, and answered without even thinking:

"Your Majesty, the Lingnan Legion is made up of the elite troops of the Qin Empire. It is an honor for them to expand the territory of the Qin Empire."

"And exiling them to Ningguta is more like abandoning the criminals in the wilderness."

"Especially looking at the treatment."

“Although there are also some prisoners from the Six Kingdoms in the Lingnan Legion.”

"But they joined the Lingnan Army and became soldiers of the Qin Dynasty."

"The Qin Dynasty forced prisoners to wear rhinoceros armor and hold Qin halberds."

"And the barbaric Qing dynasty put prisoners in wooden shackles and fed them horse urine."

"Contrast it this way."

"It will be very clear at a glance which side can show more generosity and which side's army has stronger pioneering ability."

And the sky continues.

[Political prisoners accounted for a considerable proportion of those exiled to Ningguta.]

【In the political struggles of the Qing Dynasty, losers were often severely punished. 】

[For example, Dai Mingshi during the reign of Emperor Kangxi was considered to have the intention of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty because his book Nanshan Collection involved historical issues related to the Southern Ming regime.]

[Not only was he beheaded, but many of his family members were also exiled to Ningguta.]

[There is also the case of Lü Liuliang. Although Lü Liuliang had died many years ago, his coffin was opened and his body was mutilated because he expressed dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty's rule in his works.]

[His descendants and all the people involved in the case were exiled to Ningguta.]

[These political prisoners and their families originally lived in the prosperous Central Plains region.]

[Once convicted, they had to leave their hometown and go to the distant Ningguta. Their fate changed drastically from then on.]

【Literati and poets were often exiled to Ningguta.】

[During the Qing Dynasty, literary inquisition was prevalent, and some literati would be convicted and exiled if they accidentally offended the rulers in their poetry and writing.]

[Fang Gongqian was one of them. Because his son Fang Zhangyue was implicated in the Jiangnan Imperial Examination case, his entire family was exiled to Ningguta.]

[There were also many ordinary people who were exiled to Ningguta for various reasons.] [Some were because they broke the law, such as stealing, fighting, etc.; some were because they were framed by others.]

[Most of them were from poor families and were unable to defend themselves. They could only accept their fate and embark on the road of exile to Ningguta.]

[So, what is so terrible about Ningguta? ]

[The three thousand miles of exile from Beijing to Ningguta is itself a passage through hell.]

[Under the transportation conditions at the time, the exiled people could only travel on foot or by simple means of transportation.]

[The prisoners wore wooden shackles weighing thirty kilograms, their feet were tied with iron chains, and they were moved twenty miles every day under the whipping of the guards.]

[When passing through Shanhaiguan, it was common to see prisoners suddenly throwing themselves against the city walls to commit suicide.]

[Because they know that being outside the pass is more terrifying than being killed on the spot.]

[Especially in winter, the severe cold in the Northeast is unbearable, and many people died on the way due to hunger, cold, and disease.]

[Historical records show that half of those involved in the "Jiangnan Memorial Case" who were exiled in the 12th year of Shunzhi froze to death in the Liaodong Corridor.]

[According to records, some of the exiled people took several months or even more than a year to reach Ningguta.]

[By the time they arrive, they are often exhausted both physically and mentally, and their vitality is greatly damaged. ]

[In the end, only 30% of people can survive.]

[These survivors either have good physical fitness or have relatives who help to bribe them, so they can enjoy some preferential treatment along the way.]

[You should know that during this period of exile, you are not simply allowed to leave. 】

[You may not know that there is a dark industry chain hidden on this road. ]

[The police deliberately withheld food, forcing the prisoners to eat tree bark, and took the opportunity to sell steamed bread at sky-high prices;]

[When passing by brothels, the guards would force the female prisoners to "receive customers to earn money."]

[As for the humiliation of the police officers themselves, it was commonplace. In the archives of the Ministry of Justice during the Kangxi period, there was a record of a case in which the daughter of a county magistrate was gang-raped to death while being escorted.]

……

The picture continued to play.

The howling of the wind in the background grew stronger.

The exile team in the picture is trudging through the snowstorm.

Canopy.

[The survivors who made it to Ningguta faced the real purgatory. ]

[The average annual temperature here is minus 3 degrees Celsius, and the extreme low temperature can reach minus 50 degrees Celsius. ]

[The winter is long and cold, with the lowest temperature reaching minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. The land is barren, crops are difficult to grow, and daily necessities are scarce.]

[People who were exiled here not only had to face the cold weather, but also had to worry about their livelihood. ]

[They need to build simple houses, reclaim wasteland and grow food.]

[According to the "Jilin General Records", in the first month of the eighth year of the Yongzheng reign, 37 exiles froze to death while picking ginseng. Their bodies were frozen into a whole with the snow, and were only torn apart by wolves in the spring.]

【But what is more terrifying than the severe cold is the "armored man". 】

[These soldiers and farmers of the lower class of the Eight Banners and the Solon soldiers treated the exiles as livestock and slaves.]

[Before dawn, they had to dig through the glacier to get water, during the day they had to dig ginseng in the dense forest where bears roamed, and at night they had to wash clothes and feed horses for the garrison.]

[Wu Zhaoqian, the imperial censor during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, wrote in his diary: "I started work at 3:00 pm, and my hands were festering and the bones were exposed. The supervisor still scolded me, saying, 'You lazy bastard.'"]

[Among the exiles sent to Ningguta, the most tragic were the former bureaucrats and cultural elites.]

[They were originally high-ranking officials and scholars. ]

[But when they arrived in Ningguta, they became the lowest class of people and suffered discrimination from local officials and people.]

[They need to do heavy physical labor, such as farming for the government and doing labor service.]

[Moreover, their personal freedom is greatly restricted, and they will be punished if they are not careful.]

[This feeling of falling from a high place to the bottom of the valley has dealt a great blow to their spirits. ]

[If male exiles still have a glimmer of hope, female prisoners are completely trapped in the abyss.]

[They performed hard labor with men during the day, and satisfied the beastly desires of the armored men at night.]

[“I heard the sound of horse boots outside the tent at night, and I smeared charcoal on my face and dared not sleep” is not only a literary creation, but also a true portrayal of the exiled women themselves. 】

[Pregnant female prisoners are often forced to have abortions.]

[Twenty-eight female corpses were dug out from the Ningguta mass grave, all of which contained fully formed fetuses.]

Ningguta, this terrifying place in history, carries the suffering and tears of countless people.

It witnessed the harsh punishments of the Qing Dynasty and also witnessed the struggle and survival of human beings in extreme environments.

Today, the vicissitudes of time have gradually buried the suffering of Ningguta.

Instead, netizens are looking forward to a one-day tour to experience exile in Ningguta...

The sky screen video ends with the laughter of a group of modern tourists dressed as Qing Dynasty emperors, empresses, officers and soldiers.

Barrages of comments also flew out.

"It's ridiculous that this place can be used as a tourist attraction."

"The Legend of Zhen Huan is still going strong!"

"Hey, those potatoes over there, yes, you, go and peel these two garlics."

"At this rate, is it possible to look forward to the underground cellar trip?"

"Don't mention it, this attraction does exist, but it has not yet been developed into a project."

"It must be great to be the general of Ningguta, with so many beautiful women in exile."

"I'm afraid it was developed halfway."

"Qianlong: Ningguta is full of Shuntian prefects of the Qing Dynasty!"

"I laughed at Ningguta when I was young, and lived in Ningguta when I grew up."

"Why was it only the Qing Dynasty that exiled people to Ningguta?"

"Da Song: Are you hanging me?"

"In fact, it is not difficult to survive in Ningguta. Although the status is low, you are basically free and no one cares about you, so you can still survive."

"Being exiled to Ningguta was mainly a journey. Basically, people with some skills and scholars were able to survive and reach the place. If they didn't have any major health problems, they could basically live a good life in the end."

"Local people also respect these capable people more."

"In ancient times, people suffered a lot on the way to exile, but it was actually not that bad when they got to the place where they lived, after all, there was a real shortage of people there."

"After returning, Wu Zhaoqian was not used to the local climate. Before he died, he told his son that he wanted to go back to Ningguta to fish and pick mushrooms."

"In fact, the local Solon people in Ningguta are also quite miserable. They are not allowed to live a good life, but forced to suffer."

"The Qing Dynasty has come, and they want the Saurons to work hard and sacrifice their lives. They just let them work, but they don't even give them any benefits. I'm crying."

"The Sauron people are being fleeced by the Qing Dynasty and are almost extinct!"

And outside the sky.

Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou sat in the palace in Lin'an City, looking nervously at the scene of Ningguta on the sky.

In Ningguta, where the wind was howling and the snow was white, the prisoners were dressed in rags and worked hard in the ice and snow. From time to time, someone fell down and was dragged away and buried.

Zhao Gou couldn't help but shiver.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he subconsciously said, "Is the place where the two saints are located the same as the Ninggu Pagoda?"

But Zhao Gou felt that this could not be said.

Even I can think of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong.

What about everyone else?
If everyone in the Song Dynasty was thinking about the place where Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong stayed, it would be similar to Ningguta.

Do you still want to negotiate?
Zhao Gou then straightened his mind and said, "Sending people to such a remote and cold place is simply taking their lives."

"I really can't bear to hear such cruel things."

"From now on, no one in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is allowed to mention exile to Ningguta!" (End of this chapter)
