There are often various torture in the feudal era, because the ruler in ancient times had the objective needs of consolidating their own power. In order to consolidate power, key information was obtained from the criminal population, and various punishments were circulated in ancient times.
These punishment methods will make people feel creepy. For example, there is a torture that is known as the most gentle.People die in joy.This punishment is famous -laughing, spreading from the European war.
1. Use animals to punish punishment
A new punishment appeared in the century. This punishment is called laughing. This punishment is a very cruel torture method that will cause great harm to the physical and psychological of the prisoner.
Lets briefly introduce how this punishment is implemented.
Generally speaking, those who have violated more serious laws, or offended local aristocracy will be sentenced by the court.
The victim will be firmly fixed on the torture in various ways, and then the jailer will restrain the prisoners with both feet, and then retreat all the shoes and socks.Only the feet of the prisoner are left.
Subsequently, the execution of the execution of the punishment will directly apply some irritating substances including honey and saltOn your feet.
This is to complete the next step of punishment execution plan, that is, let go sheep lick the feet of the torture with their own tongue.
After applying these irritating substances on the foot of the victim, the executioner will bring a goat who has been hungry for a while.
The goat will be attracted by those stimulating substances in a state of hunger, such as honey or white sugar water on the feet of the prisoner. These are the goats like to eats things.
The goat will not care what it is licking. It only knows that you can get food by licking the feet of the prisoner.
In the process, the victim will bear huge pain.
Because the goats tongue is very long, there are various stabs on the surface of the tongue, so the victims will feel itching and pain at the same time.
Moreover, there are many human feet nerves.In addition, once the feet are licked by the goat, the various viruses and bacteria in the goats mouth, and the honey salt applied to the feet will cause the wound to have pain, but the goat is still licking with the tongue to apply it.With the feet of honey prisoners, The final prisoner will laugh alive and collapse.
Generally speaking, this process will last for up to ten hours.There is a painful expression on it.
After the sentence in the middle and late stages, the feet of the victims will cause severe ulcers, and some torture will be able to breathe even.Will live in the laughter.Because long -term laughter can cause their breathing space to be compressed and eventually cause hypoxia.
Prisoners who are often sentenced to laughter will find a way to give themselves a way, which is much better than the torture of more than ten hours.
In Europe in the Middle Ages, this criminal law is often used on those noble women.
Because in the cultural tradition of the medieval European century, they cannot impose too direct punishment on noble women, so they make them laugh to death aliveIt can not only play a role in torture, but also maintain the dignity of the nobles.
This punishment is not short in history in Europe, but objectively, these cruel punishments will eventually lead to a collapse of a national rule system.
2. Strict punishment will cause social problems
Take some rigorous in the era of social turmoilThe punishment, even military management is a reliable means to maintain social order and promote the development of the country. If the punishment is too harsh and lasts too long, it will cause new problems.
That is that people in the society can be breathless and dare not do anything.Various resistance.
For example, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, it is reasonable to take more gentle measures to manage the world, but he puts the war era.Those punishments stayed in the new empire were used.
When Qin Shihuang was still alive, no one dared to say the problem of the Emperor.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, the newly -appointed rulers cannot stabilize the situation, so there will be various people who cannot bear the rigorous Qin law.
In the end, the first feudal dynasty in Chinese history was destroyed.
Although strict punishment can play a role in maintaining social order at certain times, if the punishment is too harsh, it will play a reaction.
Conclusion:
The smiling punishment in Europe is indeed a very brutal punishment.
But now this punishment has been banned because it is too inhuman and too cruel, it has become a record in historical books.
Those brutal penalties performed in the past feudal dynasties have also awakened modern people: Of course we must pursue a legal society, but the sameIt is not desirable to be too cruel to be too cruel.
