    "How does that compare to Dongchang or Jinyiwei?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask after hearing what Zheng Zhilong said was so terrifying.  Speaking of torture, who can compare with Dongchang and Jinyiwei? It is estimated that only the "Top Ten Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" can be compared.  Before the Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, there were only five major punishments.  The five punishments before the Sui Dynasty were: ink punishment, death penalty, mutilation punishment, palace punishment, and large punishment. The first four were corporal punishment, and the latter one was death penalty.  After the Sui Dynasty, flogging, cane punishment, imprisonment, exile and death penalty replaced the old five punishments.  This is a general trend. Of course, there are some special ones, which are only extended to the death penalty, such as King Zhou¡¯s punishment of roasting with cannon and mincing: (that is, after killing a person, his body is put into a rice pounding machine.  Pounded into meat paste), dried meat (dried in the sun), and cut into the heart; Qin Shihuang's methods such as banished to garrison, exiled, tattooed as Chengdan, sitting in succession, beheaded in half, split into chariots, beheaded, slaughtered, pitted, gored, and whipped  Threat, wok cooking, etc. ?? What Western Catholic Zhu Youxiao only knows about is burning. For example, Galileo was burned to death.  But I wonder if there are any other tricks?  How good can a religion that engages in torture be?  Zhu Youxiao's idea of ??religion is at least divorced from politics and the world of mortals, because you are just trying to separate yourself from the "people". You worship the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and then you mingle with all living beings. What's the point?  It's called otherworldly, it's simply too vulgar.  The close connection between Catholicism and politics makes Zhu Youxiao hate it in his heart. How can a "political organization" with bloody hands, which mainly focuses on religious aggression and expansion, be any better?  If we engage in some more anti-human tactics and make it more terrifying than the state machinery, it will be even more unbearable.  "Back to the emperor, even if it can't be worse, at least it can be equal." "Oh, in addition to starting a war, how can this Catholic have punishments?" Li Guopu and Xu Guangqi, who came to report, couldn't help but feel strange.  "I heard that there are three major factions in the Catholic Church. One is the Roman Catholic Church. The second is the Orthodox Church in Constantinople. The third is Christianity, also called Protestantism. It is good that the branched out sects all believe in God, but the struggles between them are also considerable.  It was bloody, and more than ten million people were killed, and the torture used by the Inquisition when facing the heretics was also quite cruel." "Such an official's words opened my eyes." "It's their emperor.  Tortures were: "Cleaning of the Soul." Catholic clergy believed that if a person with an evil soul was forced to eat boiling hot water or burning coals, or both, his soul would be cleansed.  The clergy and the executioner fed a Christian a drink of scalding water. "Wooden boots are also a common punishment used by Catholics. They are used to warn Protestants and Jews who have not changed their faith. The legs of the victim are placed on both sides.  The torturer then used a hammer to drive a wedge down between the ropes. Each time the wedge was driven in, at least the upper and lower sides of the leg were crushed.  12 wedges were driven into the side. When the wooden boots were removed, the bone fragments appeared to be in a loose bag. "Burning is one of the most frequently used punishments in the Catholic Church."  The blasphemy of a protestant or witch. The clergy believed that burning a protestant or witch permanently extinguished her evil spirit in the physical world, thus eliminating any further contamination of innocent souls that might occur by burning a protestant.  Yes, a bishop chanted sutras to "wash" him before his death. "This is one of the most common punishments used in Catholic interrogations. The victim's mouth is opened and a large amount of water is poured in until he is tortured.  If the victim's stomach is swollen and he still refuses to admit the crime, an executioner will kick the victim's stomach until the victim's stomach ruptures and dies.  The hanging cage was the most common form of punishment in medieval Catholic countries. First, the victim's limbs were tied to the ground separately. The executioner used heavy iron-wrapped wheels to break the limbs and joints and break the bones of the limbs.  After the meat is mixed into a soft state, the limbs are braided onto the spokes of the wheel, and then hung face-out until death. Cat claws are also used to punish heretics. The clergy believe that this punishment can "cleanse."  "The body of the victim. It is very simple to use, just slowly tear down the flesh. Many times, all the meat is torn off, and the bones are exposed until the end." "Iron Lady. A rarely used torture instrument,  This torture device was not invented by the Catholics. It originated in Europe, but it was used by the Catholic Church to punish female Protestants or apostates. During the execution, the Iron Lady stuffed the victim into the iron tool and slowly closed it, so that the sharp steel door was closed.  The needles penetrated the arms, legs, abdomen, chest, bladder, thigh heels, eyes, shoulders and buttocks from several places, but they were not enough to kill the victim. Generally, the victim would die after surviving for 1-2 days. "    ."Interrogation chair. An extremely common instrument of torture by Catholic clergy. Not only are there hundreds of tiny spikes that make it difficult to sit on, but there is also usually a fire underneath that bakes the iron chair to a terrifying scalding heat." .  "Hanging cage. Used for Protestants or apostates from the Catholic faith. Most victims using hanging cages are completely exposed to extreme cold or heat. And most hanging cage victims are usually  He was then hung there after other punishments - a long time! The victim remained in the cage until he was hanged or died of thirst, which could take weeks.  . Mainly used to punish female pagans. This punishment was not only used by Catholics, but also by European royal families. The victim was immersed in a river, a vat or a pond, and after being immersed for a period of time, she was given a chance to confess.  Beaten to death. If she did not confess, she was again immersed in the river until she was drowned. "The Judas Stool was often used for male pagans. The victim was suspended from the upper part of the pyramid and inserted into the crotch.  The tightness of the chain depends on the executioner's mood, and he can control whether the victim's weight is fully applied to this point. "It is used for Protestants who have not confessed after multiple warnings. It looks like this."  The hands and feet are tightened to pull the prisoner's body in opposite directions until the prisoner's limbs slowly come out of the joints. "The cult prong is a torture device used for Protestants who refuse to accept the Catholic faith.  This torture device has a metal rod with prongs at both ends, which is fixed to the neck by a belt. One end is inserted into the chin, and the other end is pointed directly at the sternum. Only by stretching the neck can the pain be reduced. This torture device will cause great pain.  The design of the fork between the chin and sternum allows the victim to have enough movement to open his mouth to confess. "The head-crushing machine is used by clergy for apostates or those who have committed blasphemy."  Executions using a decapitation machine usually involve the teeth being squeezed into the sockets, the surrounding jawbone then being shot out, and the brains being spewed out of the ears. Incredibly, this is still used in many Catholic countries.  The latest version of the head-crushing machine is used as a current interrogation tool. It is used to release the torture device from the Catholic believers, and then slowly close the torture device until the victim dies in pain.  , It is said that in many cases the prisoners' heads will be cut off directly. "That's all I remember. It was all learned by the sailors who had nothing to do." Zheng Zhilong told what he had heard.  And everyone in the audience was stunned.  This is not a religion, it is simply hell!  "This, this is outrageous. Doing unscrupulous and heinous things in the name of love is the greatest insult and blasphemy to the love of God."  ! ¡± ¡°Is this still a religion? ¡± No one thought that the above tortures were so innovative. The Han general who was nursing the emperor couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. It was so professional.  It's worse.  "What the official said is indeed shocking and outrageous. Xu Aiqing, this kind of thing must be publicized to the outside world. Our Ming Dynasty has always had no shortage of ignorant people. After twenty years of Catholic missionary work, there must be some people like Yang Tingyun in the Ming Dynasty.  Good men and women who betrayed their motherland for the glory of God. They were exposed to the glorious side and the hypocritical side of Catholicism. These dark sides should also be made known to them along with the transcript of this verdict, excluding Zheng Zhilong's personal problems.  "Except, comprehensive edict to the world." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but praise it when he heard it. It's so awesome. Although the Japanese devils are more professional than them, they are not within the scope of human beings and cannot be compared.  Unexpectedly, Catholicism, which seems to be peaceful like Christmas Eve and Christmas, has such a dark side, which is more terrifying than the state machine.  Catholicism developed in Daming and engaged in religious aggression. Of course, there must be a way. No matter what this method is, there must be a seductive word.  The original announcement of the negotiation transcript was one of Zhu Youxiao's methods to awaken the people, whether they have already joined the religion, those who are considering joining the religion, or those who have never heard of it, let them know about this kind of religion.  , is it suitable for Daming, or is it suitable for me?  Let¡¯s first restore the true nature of Catholicism.  The people who know the truth at that time will naturally react in a certain way. As long as the Chinese people are wise and do not have ulterior motives, they will definitely make a correct judgment on such a religion.  If we stay away from it, then Catholicism will have no market in the Ming Dynasty.  In this way, any holy war launched by the Catholic Church will only be an invasion, without the possibility of winning over believers.
