A large Liao country is really stormy now, there are strong enemies outside, and there are thieves inside, if it weren't for the loyal ministers like Ma Renwang who are trying to maintain it, the country may have fallen apart long ago!

The "Bohai Nu" mentioned by Ma Dazhongchen is the main force of anti-thieves in Zhulu Prefecture in the south of Daliao.

The Liao State is a first-class Khitan, a second-class Han, a third-class Bohai, a fourth-class female straight, and a fifth-class obstruction. Although the female straight and the divination are nominally inferior to the Bohai, most of the female straight and the divination are sluts that the Khitans and the Han people cannot oppress. As a result, the third-class Bohai became the de facto lowest-class pariahs in the Great Liao State.

Moreover, when the Khitans destroyed the Bohai people's Haidong Shengguo and Bohai State, in order to incite the war, they also claimed that the Bohai people were the feud of the Khitans - it was about the time of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Zhou that the Bohai State participated in the anti-Khitan alliance of the Tang Dynasty, but it should be the Han people who provoked this matter, and somehow hated the Bohai people? In short, it is an excuse similar to the later seven hatreds and eight hatreds.

And the excuse has been said for a long time, as if there is really a grudge. So after the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Sea, the status of the Bohai people was particularly low. Even if it is the six right surnames of Bohai, it cannot be compared with the Yan four tribes of the Han people at all, although they can also be officials, but the lack of oil and water basically does not have their share.

In addition, after the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, the Khitans adopted a policy of forced relocation of the Bohai people, moving millions of people to Liaoxi and Liaodong, and some were given to the Khitan and Xi tribes as slaves. Historically, the Bohai Kingdom was originally a country with a high degree of sinicization and a relatively developed handicraft industry and agriculture. After the fall of the Bohai Sea, almost all the craftsmen in the Bohai Sea were reduced to Khitan slave laborers, and there were a large number of Bohai craftsmen in the Khitan palace tents, tribes, and handicraft workshops under the Wujing Jisi controlled by the Han people.

Unlike the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, the craftsmen of the Liao State were the real "last industry", most of them were slave laborers in government and tribal workshops, and their lives were extremely miserable.

And the Bohai peasants are not only slaves of the Khitans, but also slaves of the right surnames of Bohai, and it is basically impossible for them to have their own land. In addition to the fact that most of the harvest was used to pay taxes, they also had to bear a heavy burden of forced labor.

For example, the construction of city walls for the Khitans, and the use of sea ships to transport grain to Xijin Province - I don't know how many ships have capsized in the past hundred years?

In addition, the Khitans also had a "military state system under their heads", which dealt a very heavy blow to the Bohai people. The so-called military state system is a kind of serfdom, which is to imitate the situation of the Central Plains Prefecture and County, and transform the population captured in the war (mainly Bohai people) into serfs of the Khitan and Xi nobles and tribes.

As for the right surname of Bohai, in the more than 100 years when the Bohai State had just perished, it was still slightly preferential. However, during the Liao Shengzong and Liao Xingzong eras, the Han system began to be implemented in the Tokyo Province area, where the Bohai people lived. Salt and iron monopoly, and various taxes are also on par with the Han land. Naturally, the result is a great infringement of the economic interests of the right surname of Bohai.

It is said that where there is oppression, there is resistance! This formula is certainly correct when applied to the Bohai people.

Since the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, all kinds of rebellions have not stopped. One of the largest rebellions occurred in the period of Liao Shengzong, the Bohai people inhabited by the Bohai people in the Liaoyang Prefecture of Tokyo led by the Bohai royal descendant Dayan Lin, the rebel army once had a huge momentum, captured the Liao City of Liaoyang, Tokyo, but was defeated by the Han general Zhang Jie in Shenzhou, at the same time, the deputy guard of Tokyo Wang Daoping and the soldiers and horses of the Huanglong Mansion deployed Huang Pian and refused to respond to the Great Yanlin, so that the uprising of the Bohai people fell into the predicament of being attacked on three sides, and completely failed after holding out for a year.

After this great uprising, the Bohai people were completely reduced to untouchables in the Great Liao. The Han clan, on the other hand, gained the trust of the Khitans by suppressing and betraying the uprising of the Bohai people...... The Han Chinese and the Bohai people also fell into mutual hostility.

Han officials like Ma Dazhongchen are directly "Bohai slaves" when they talk about Bohai people, and Bohai people call people like Ma Dazhongchen "traitors" behind their backs......

In Ma Zhi's hometown of Daling River (Yiwu Lu Mountain), there are also many "Bohai Nu", most of whom are craftsmen. Because the Dalinghe area is an important handicraft town in Liao, there are many government-run porcelain kilns and weavers, who are basically oppressed "Bohai slaves" and often do things that undermine national unity.

As a powerful clan in the Daling River area, the Ma family of Yiwu Lushan often clashes with these "Bohai Nu", and it can be said that their hands are stained with the blood of Bohai Nu!

And the man of the Great Sword—perhaps a pseudonym—is an evil thief, said to be the prince of the Great Clan, a good wielding sword, and a group of loyal subordinates who specialize in slashing and killing "Khitan jackals" and "traitors". Recently, it seems that he has run to the area of the Daling River, so the horse people have already ordered the strong men and disciples of the clan to arrest this thief.

In addition to the elusive sword, Zhao Zhongge, who is now in the Yanshan area, is also a thief who gives Ma Dazhongchen a bit of a headache. This is a Han man, and he is also a son of the Zhao family in Yanjing.

Such a child of a family should be comfortable and waiting to be an official, but this one fell out with his family and dragged some people to Yanshan to be thieves.

The struggle among the great clans was far more brutal than the righteous and semi-righteous men of the Southern Dynasty. Because the basis of Yimen and Banyimen is the imperial examination, only officials can do it if they pass the examination, and the emperor only looks at the "score" and does not look at the background.

The big family is reincarnated by ability, so it is natural to divide the "eldest and youngest". For example, Ma Renwang, Ma Renjie and Ma Rencai are sisters-in-law, while Ma Zhi is a concubine, and Zhao Zhongge, who went to the mountains to fight guerrillas, is a son of a sinister, an illegitimate son or a son born to a maid...... Does he also deserve the surname Zhao?

In short, the treatment of all kinds of sons is different! And a bowl of water is uneven, dogs eat dogs, and people beat people are indispensable.

However, in Ma Renwang's opinion, Brother Zhao Zhong is surnamed Zhao after all! The ancestor is always the great traitor Zhao Yanshou and the surrender hero Zhao Zan (the general of Kaifeng Mansion), right? So he couldn't bear to kill them all, and still wanted to recruit him.

Ma Renwang's son Ma Ying was a little puzzled by his father's thoughts: "Daddy, Brother Zhong is a scourge, what do you leave him to do?" ”

The centaur looked back and glared at his son: "The world is going to be in chaos!" Can a strong man like Brother Zhong have a second one in the Yan Si family? In the future, if our Yan family wants to make a difference, we will still need him to charge into battle...... The old lady of the Zhao family is also confused, isn't she just a concubine? Isn't it enough to give it to him! ”

It turns out that this son of the Zhao family is still a warrior who can charge into battle!

"Really messing up?" Ma Ying asked worriedly.

Centaur Wang nodded, "Chaos is definitely going to be chaotic, I don't know when it will start to be chaotic." Now that the divination is in chaos, the female upright is preparing to make a rebellion, and Bohai Nu is a thief! Even the Han people of the Southern Dynasties came to cause trouble......"

……

"The Bohai Sea is a bitter slave, with millions of people, working day and night without food and clothing, looking at the sky; Haidong is a prosperous country, splendid three thousand miles, male farmers and women weavers are happy, like a dream ......"

The mournful and melodious song reached Wu Haogu's ears, and he was riding on a sea boat driven by long oars and hard sails, and he was traveling northward, stirring up white waves on the waterway of the Sanggan River leading from the Jiehe River to the city of Xijin Prefecture.

It was the sweaty coolies who were rowing the oars like rain that were singing, and they were singing in a language that Wu Haogu could not understand.

On both sides of the Sanggan River, at this time it is green and picturesque.

Wu Haogu did not stop much in Qingzhou Yongchang, and early the next morning he boarded a Liaoguo sea boat from Liaodong, which is about ten zhang long galleys and sails sea boat that he is now taking.

The sea boats were loaded with grain, which was transported from Suzhou in eastern Liaodong to Xijin Province. Ma Zhi told Wu Haogu that Xijin Fucheng is the most populous city in Liao, with more than 200,000 people and nearly 300,000 people, so food supply has always been a problem, and since the time of Liao Shengzong, it has to rely on Liaodong for food supplies.

The grain of Liaodong was transported to Xijin Province by sea. However, the ships that undertake the task of shipping are not merchant ships, but a kind of heavy labor - there is no "Employment Law" in Liao, and there are no maritime merchants, even if there are maritime merchants and ships of the Yan family, who dares to requisition? Therefore, the way to transport the grain from Liaodong to Xijin Province was to requisition the Bohai people to cut wood and build ships, and then drive the ship to transport the grain.

Drowned, exhausted people are miserable, and those who survive are lucky!

The ship that Wu Haogu is now riding on is the grain transport ship controlled by the transfer judge of the Tobe Envoy in Tokyo. This transfer judge is naturally also surnamed Ma and belongs to the herringbone generation. There were also a few porters of the Ma family on the boat who were escorting the boat and the bow of the boat, all of them with swords and leather whips, urging Bohai Nu to row hard like a fierce god.

Hearing Bo Hainu's miserable chant, he immediately blew up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

"Don't sing!"

"Damn Bohai slave, whoever dares to sing Lao Tzu again will slaughter him!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At this time, Wu Haogu stood on the platform on the top of the cabin, and looked at the scenery with Ximenqing, who had changed into Khitan women's clothes, and talked about his life ideals.

Suddenly, I heard the pan fried below, and asked a little strangely, "What's going on?" What are those Bohai people singing? ”

Ximenqing knows a little Bohai dialect, but in fact, she just doesn't understand, and she also knows what Bohai people are singing?

"They are singing "Bohai Slave", which is a reverse song made by the Bohai Great Sword."

Anti-song? Is it the meaning of a reactionary song?

Wu Haogu frowned and asked, "Here in Liao, is the relationship between the Han and Bohai people good?" ”

In later generations, he had heard that the Bohai people had a relatively high degree of sinicization, and they were "the same Han system" in the Liao State, so he took it for granted that the Bohai Han'er was like a family.

But now he found that although the clothes of the Bohai people and the Han people were similar, the difference was that the Bohai men had a braid—a bit similar to the hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty men, but it was not exactly the same, they only kept braids and did not shave their hair—but the relationship was not very good.

By the way, the way to distinguish the national attributes of men in Liao is not to look at clothing, nor to argue language, but to look at hair. Han people must have their hair in a bun. The Khitan and Xi people shaved the "Mediterranean" and then combed a braid on the left and right. The Bohai people do not shave their heads, but comb a big braid. The hairstyle of the divination people is relatively similar to that of the Khitan and Xi people, and they will also tie two braids and shave the top of their heads, but they will keep a handful of hair on their foreheads, just like children in the Central Plains. And the female straight man shaves her head and braids her hair, and she keeps a pinch behind her skull and ties it with colored silk, which is probably the so-called money rat tail, right?
