As a first-class Han people, they enjoy the right to have fourth-class slaves, and because Han people are first-class people, it stands to reason that Han people cannot be slaves to others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But at present, Wang Yu still can't completely abolish the slave system, which big family didn't have slaves at home back then? Whether it is an old servant, a housekeeper, a servant or a maid, they are all domestic slaves who have signed a deed of sale, if they formulate a legal system now and forcibly cancel their slave status, it will not only offend the big families, but also will be strongly opposed by these domestic slaves!

At that time, many of the people who signed the deed of sale and were sold to large families to become domestic slaves have lost their normal ability to survive, especially some high-level domestic slaves.

Especially the personal maids of the old master and the young master, some of the young master's personal servants, they have actually lost their ability to work, these people eat well and dress well every day, and the "labor" they have to do is just to comb the hair and dress the young lady and grandmother, and the little maid is to follow the head of the family to go out for a walk, if they leave the big family, they will lose their source of livelihood and income, so how can these people live?

As for some family guards, gardeners and cooks, what they do every day is one thing, and it is no different from the status of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, once the palace maids and eunuchs of that era were driven out of the palace, the palace maids were better, and they could find someone to marry, and the eunuchs left the palace and lived a bleak and desolate life, which is conceivable.

In the same way, those domestic guards, gardeners and slaves, if they leave the big family, they will not have the ability to survive.

As for some of the lowest house slaves, although they are said to have the ability to survive if they are released, the concept formed over a long period of time, whether it is the head of the house or themselves, is unwilling to leave the big family.

It will not happen overnight to change this concept, and it will take a long time for the slave class to disappear from the Han Chinese, who are completely subordinate to the first-class people.

Yi people are second-class people, referring to whites, Goryeo, Wa, Manchu and other barbarians. However, the Dutch, the Manchurian Eight Banners, and the Goryeo who served the Qing court, and those who had not yet surrendered, could not be regarded as truly second-class people, because they were enemies and had to be eliminated in the war. Once these people are captured, they are also captives, and they must be reformed in order to truly become second-class people inferior to the Han Chinese.

In the same way, first-class Han people, but the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion, Qing court officials, etc., are also enemies, and they are not first-class Han people. After being captured in the war, he was also a captive, and he had to be reformed to become a real first-class Han Chinese.

A second-class person can be promoted to a first-class class, for example, through marriage and military exploits. Once a second-class person marries the same class, it will be changed to a Han Chinese. In addition, second-class people can also be promoted to first-class people if they have made military achievements.

As for the third-class and fourth-class people, it is more sad.

Wang Yu imitated Meng Yuan's fourth-class system, which was even more severe than Meng Yuan's fourth-class system, because among the fourth-class slaves, not only would Kunlun slaves never have a chance to upgrade, but each Kunlun slave had to be forcibly castrated before they could be used! As for the natives of Nanyang who were reduced to fourth-class slaves because of their belief in the River Crab Sect, although they had not been castrated, if they were not promoted to third-class people through various means, they must strictly implement the family planning system.

Even if it is a Han person, once they believe in the River Crab Sect, they will immediately be reduced to a fourth-class person!

Even after many years, there is still a saying in the River Crab Sect, which is called that the first child is rich, the second child is poor, and the third child is fined for demolishing the house and moving the cow! The only child enjoys preferential treatment in school and work; If you want to have a second child, you must pay a certain amount of money for the second child, and various preferential policies have been cancelled; The third child, that is, exceeds the standard, and will face a huge fine.

In contrast to the fourth-class people, the first-class Han people encouraged childbearing, not only did they not have a system of late marriage and late childbearing, but they would be fined if they did not marry when they reached the age; If the wife cannot be found because of the man's reasons, the government will come forward and choose a woman among the third class for the man to be assigned to the Han man as a daughter-in-law.

In fact, later, there was no need to think about this at all, because not to mention that the third-class people couldn't wait to marry their daughters to the first-class Han, and even the daughters of the second-class people, such as the Japanese and the Annan, were vying to marry the Han.

They are also Nanyangs, why are the Annamites (not only the Da Viet and Champa are all Annamite, but Wang Xinyu also classifies the Khmer and Laotians into the Annamite people) is a second-class person, while Burmese, Siam, Sulu, etc. are third-class people? That's because Annan, like the Japanese and Koreans, is actually a branch of the Chinese nation.

As for why white Europeans are also second-class? That's because Wang Xinyu needs European technology and trade, so white Europeans who don't belong to the branch of the Chinese nation at all can become second-class people.

But the Indians were more miserable. Some scholars in later generations say that the Indians are descendants of the Yin people. But Wang Xinyu couldn't believe that the Indians were really descendants of Yin Shang! Yin Shang was already a civilized person who had entered the Bronze Age, how could it be that he had degenerated into the Stone Age when he arrived on the American continent? If it was really the Yin merchants who went to the American continent, their civilization would have continued to develop over thousands of years, rather than degenerating from civilized people who used bronze tools and wore clothes to primitive people who were covered with leaves and held stone tools.

Even if they were isolated from other civilizations and did not evolve to the Iron Age, they were still wandering in the Bronze Age, and it was impossible for them to degenerate into the Stone Age.

It is also right now that Zheng Jing and the others are facing those primitive people in the Stone Age, strictly speaking, those are all slaves who are about to become the third class of the Ming Dynasty.

The fleet of Feng Seok Beom, Hong Wook and Wang Xiuqi departed from Tamna (Jeju) and followed the Pacific current, and the clippers arrived at Hong Wook City on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in less than a month.

Hong Xucheng was Zheng Jing's first stronghold in the Americas, and the main task of Zheng Jing's generals such as Feng Xifan, Hong Xu and Wang Xiuqi was to travel back and forth between the New World and Eurasia, constantly sending the gold and silver of the New World back to the mainland, and sending various commodities and supplies from the mainland to the New World.

In order to shorten the sailing time and avoid the situation of no wind, the route to and from the two sides of the Pacific Ocean adopts the method of following the ocean current, and when the outbound journey is from the vicinity of Tokyo Bay in Japan directly to the east, entering the ocean current, crossing the Pacific Ocean, and directly arriving at Hongxu City; The return journey involves sailing north along the coastline and back into the current.

This is a route to make a fortune, but it is also a route full of dangers, and there may be storms, typhoons, and all kinds of irresistible factors on the way that threaten the safety of the fleet. Zheng Jing had already found a gold mine to the south of Hongxu City. According to the map provided by Wang Xinyu, the location of San Francisco was found. Zheng Jing named this place Zheng Jinshan.

Mt. Zheng is on the peninsula, and because the cliffs reach the sea, the terrain here is complex, so no local indigenous activities have been found near this new stronghold.

Other places found local aborigines, the kind of indigenous people called Indians, the name was still taken by Wang Xinyu before, Zheng Jing didn't know why they were called Indians. But since they are already called Indians, they have not changed their names, so let's call them Indians according to the names given to them by Wang Xinyu.

Exchanging gold from the Indians was also a way to make a fortune.

The fleet in charge of Feng Xifan, Hong Xu, Wang Xiuqi and others transported iron products such as daggers, short swords, short knives, spearheads, and iron arrows from the mainland, and transported porcelain, cotton clothes and other daily necessities to the Americas. Porcelain and cotton clothes can also be exchanged for large amounts of gold.

The Indians did not have the same concept of gold and silver as the Nanyang natives, and although the Nanyang Company's trade with the Nanyang natives was also profitable, the Nanyang natives had seen the goods from the mainland, and the prices were more expensive on their side, and it was impossible to exchange iron for the same weight of gold. In the Americas, however, the Indians could make more money.

In the eyes of the local Indians, iron tools that are much harder than stone tools, cotton clothes that are very warm on the body, and clay pots that can be used to burn rice into fragrant rice, are crystal clear, and the rice is particularly sweet and delicious, and the wine that feels like it is about to become a fairy when you drink it, all these are good things.

As for gold, the Indians had so much gold in their hands that they couldn't use it up. Gold does not deteriorate, unlike iron, it rusts, and the gold left by our ancestors is still shining after dozens of generations, and the descendants find new gold, and the gold accumulated from generation to generation is not used at all, and becomes an ornament on the heads of the Indians.

But now that gold can be exchanged for so many practical and good things, the Indians are naturally happy to exchange gold.

Of course, not all Indians are so honest, and there are some tribes of Indians who are jealous that those who come by boat have so many good things in their hands, and they think of grabbing them.

The best way to deal with those who can eat human flesh, rob other people's tribes, and even hit the Ming people with their ideas is to use force to solve them.

"Kill!" Thousands of Indians shouted, brandishing stone spears and stone axes, and holding bows and arrows made of bones as arrows, and rushed towards the Ming camp.

The Ming army set up cannons, muskets, bows and arrows, swords and shields, and spear arrays.

The "boom" cannon spewed fire, and the shotgun penetrated into the crowd of Indians, sweeping down many Indians at once.

Patches of feathered arrows were fired, and the Indians fell again. When the Indians approached, the musketeers pulled the trigger, and the muzzles of their guns erupted with fire, and the Indians who rushed ahead fell one by one like harvested rice.

"Oh no! They are the same as the whites on the other side of the sea! They all have fire-breathing iron pipes in their hands, and those big wooden barrels that can breathe fire! "Someone got it.

In fact, the Indians of this era are not completely unaware of things, Western colonists set foot on the American continent, and have fought with the Indians many times, and the Indians already know the power of firearms.

Knowing that he couldn't beat it, these creatures retreated and retreated into the jungle.

In fact, the Indians were not stupid, and after they had suffered losses again and again with the Western colonists, they had already learned how to use the terrain to deal with the Western colonists, and used the jungle to destroy those "four-legged demons with fire-breathing iron pipes", and some even captured muskets and war horses.

A few Indians already knew how to ride horses and use muskets.

After the Indians who refused to submit to the king retreated into the jungle, they caused great trouble for Zheng Jing and their expedition.

The Ming army used the Indians who had become familiar with them as guides, and used the Japanese people, Rakshasa and Wai Xing'an Mountains natives as pioneers to explore the jungle. However, the Indians hiding in the jungle used traps, bows and arrows, and even muskets to create a lot of trouble for the Ming expeditions, and many expedition members were ambushed and killed.

Although most of the people killed in the attack were Japanese people, Rakshasa people and Waixinganling natives, these people are also Zheng Jing's troops! Wang Xinyu gave Zheng Jing very few Han Chinese (including the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who had been reformed after surrender), and he had to rely on these Yi people to help him expand his territory. The Yi people are all dead, not to mention dealing with the Shengfan who is not convinced by Wang Hua, I'm afraid that the familiar fan will take the opportunity to rob them.

In order to completely solve the problem of raw air, Zheng Jing actually thought of a hot air balloon!

This time, Feng Xifan, Hong Xu and Wang Xiuqi not only brought the ungiven items, but also brought four hot air balloons.

The fleet stopped at Hongxu City, and Feng Xifan and the others got off the ship.

Seeing the hot air balloon, Zheng Jing said excitedly: "Great! With the hot air balloon this time, we can easily conquer those who don't accept the king's life! As soon as the hot air balloon is raised, they don't all kneel down and kowtow! ”

Thanks to the Western colonists, muskets and artillery have no way to make the Indians think that they are immortals, but once the hot air balloon is lifted into the sky, what will the Indians react to when they see it?

It is difficult to occupy all the territory of North America by killing alone. Westerners came to the Americas and were able to gain a foothold in the Americas because they brought not only knives, guns and cannons, but also smallpox.

But smallpox is such a thing as even the Ming army itself is afraid, how can it be possible to use smallpox to deal with the Indians? At this time, the Ming army had already invented pox technology, which could control smallpox, but the effect of planting human pox was far less than that of cowpox, so smallpox was still not a good weapon.

Since smallpox was not intended to be used against the Indians, it was necessary to shock them with other means.

"Can this thing really fly into the sky?" The familiar grizzly bear, who often exchanged items with the Ming army, asked curiously.

Grizzly Bear is an Indian name, because he is tall and strong, as strong as a grizzly bear, and is a big hero in the tribe, so he was named Grizzly Bear. At that time, the names of the Indians were taken randomly, including grizzly bears, bison, lobsters, eels, warriors, warriors, and warriors.

"Yes! You'll see it in a moment! Mongolian Surile said.

The grizzly bear led the expedition team to the end of a road carved out in the primeval forest, and they did not dare to enter further into the road, and if they went further inside, they could be ambushed by the locals.

"Go get them out!" Surile Road. (To be continued.) )
