"Kunpeng".
In feudal times, various torture methods were often used in order to maintain their power. In ancient times, in order to strengthen power and obtain important information, there were various means of punishment.
The methods of torture are chilling, such as what is called the mildest torture, which is to torture people with wild beasts and make people die in pain. This form of punishment, known as "laughing punishment", originated in the era of European wars.
1. The use of animals for punishment.
In the seventeenth century, a new form of punishment called laughter arose in Europe, which was an extremely cruel form of torture that caused great physical and mental trauma to the victims.
Let's briefly explain how this punishment works.
In general, only those who broke the law, or offended the nobles of a certain place, were put to death.
They would use different methods to tie the prisoner's legs together and remove their shoes and socks so that they were left with only two legs.
The executioner then stabbed with honey and table saltSomething that stirred and smeared on the victim's legs.
He wants the goat to lick the victim's feet with its own tongue.
After applying the stimulant to the victim's legs, the executioner pulled a sheep that had been hungry for a long time.
In this case, the goats will be able to pick up some with thornsThe food aroused interest, like the tortured person, they would smear some food like honey and syrup on the victim's feet.
A sheep doesn't care about what it licks, as long as it can lick the leg of the person being bitten, it can eat what it wants.
During this time, the tormented person has to endure great pain.
Due to the long tongue of the sheep and the fact that it is covered with various spikes, the abuser can feel and feel the pain at the same time.
Moreover, there are a lot of nerves in the human legs. Not only that, but when its legs are bitten off, it will grow a large number of germs and germs in its mouth, and it will also have a special feeling that it will continue to lick the prisoner's legs with its tongue until the prisoners' laughter stops.
Usually this torture lasts for more than 10 hours, during which the tortured person will laugh uncontrollably while remaining in pain.
In the later stages, the prisoner's legs will begin to rot, and some will not even be able to breathe, and eventually die of laughter. Prolonged laughter can squeeze their lungs and eventually lead to a lack of oxygen.
Many times, those prisoners who have been sentenced to laughing will try their best to let themselves die, which is better than being alive for more than ten hours.
In Europe, similar punishments were often applied to some noble women.
Due to the ancient civilization of Europe, it is impossible for them to punish noble women too cruelly, so let them die with a smile, which can not only achieve the effect of torture, but also maintain their noble status.
This form of punishment has been prevalent in Europe for a long time, but realistically, this cruel punishment often leads to the collapse of a country's regime.
Second, heavy sentences bring a series of problems.
In times of instability, the imposition of strict criminal laws and even military control is an effective way to maintain public order and promote national progress. But if the punishment is too severe, it will create new problems in the long run.
Because in this world, people are oppressed by the law and cannot do anything, and they are afraid that one day they will break the law, which will cause all kinds of riots.
For example, Qin Shi Huang completed his reign and should have resorted to softer methods, but he transplanted the punishment inherited from the war-torn period into the new state.
When Qin Shi Huang himself was alive, no one could say anything about the first emperor.
However, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the new monarch was unable to quell the chaos, and the people of the six countries were unbearable to Qin Law and rebelled one after another.
Eventually, China's first feudal dynasty, the Qin state, came to an end.
Severe punishment can certainly maintain law and order for a certain period of time, but too severe punishment can also be counterproductive.
Conclusion: In any case, laughter was once prevalent in medieval Europe, but in fact it was an extremely cruel punishment.
But as time passed, this form of punishment became more and more inhumane, and more and more people listed it as taboo and existed only in the history books.
The various forms of torture carried out by successive dynasties are a reminder that the world of the rule of law is necessary, but it must not be too brutal.
