Chapter 365: Outside the Gate

Although the people of the Ming Dynasty also had the habit of entrusting the wealthy and big families as slaves, they were exempt from paying taxes, not the situation outside the border. The lord of the manor took advantage of the disaster year in Shandong, when the displaced people of Beizhili were about to starve to death, and there was nowhere to live, and a large number of yeoman farmers were turned into slaves.

Although there are many displaced people, the owners of the manor have food in their hands, and it turns out that those households are already armed citizens, they are all guards or private group training, and the owners of the manor collude with each other, and everyone gathers when there is something in the family.

Even if the displaced people had any emotions or rebellion against their loss of personal freedom and being encircled, they were quickly suppressed, not to mention that they were exiled outside the customs and had food to eat in the manor, and many people had not yet been contained, so they could only go to Huifeng Manor further north, and died of starvation on the way.

The first month is obedient to the past, the next is the days of cattle and horses, many people who are displaced outside the customs when they are in the pass, they are some land, and even some people are small landlords, and they also hire short-term workers when they are busy with farming, and they are forced to work every day regardless of day and night, and if there is a slight disobedience, they will be beaten, and even their lives are in danger.

Beatings, killings, inhumane treatment, wives, daughters and grandchildren may be plundered and sold, which makes these homeless people who think they have come to the Promised Land really unbearable, but at this time, although the various manors are tightly guarded as if they are the prisons of the Yamen, there are still some news that it is the various treatments of Huifeng Manor, and the homeless people who go there have never been treated as slaves, and they also distribute fields according to the ability of each family to cultivate, and cultivate under the guidance of the agricultural officials. Seeds and farming implements and even horses for farming were handed out.

For such a good treatment, all that is paid is not a heavy tax, and there is regular organized labor, and the only bad thing is that the children of the family have to be regularly transferred to regimental training and trained to become soldiers. But these so-called good and bad are much better than Kannai.

How ruthless and ruthless is the methods of the Guannai government to urge taxes and forced labor, everyone who has lived in the Guannai for so many years has a deep feeling, as for the distribution of farm tools and seeds, I haven't remembered it for many years, and it is already very good not to ask for your farm tools and seeds.

It seems to be a blessed land on earth, so that these Han slaves who live a life that is not as good as cattle and horses, and do not know life and death the next day are greatly moved, and soon there are fugitive slaves in every manor, which is different from the Korean slaves and Nanyang natives who were captured.

These non-Han slaves were very different from Han Ming in appearance and size, and in places like Guanwai, it was almost easy for the guards patrolling back and forth to arrest fugitive slaves, and although the land outside the Guanwai was vast, if they did not travel on the edge of the roads and manors, they could easily be killed by wild beasts if they landed in the wilderness, or they themselves would be starved to death or frozen to death.

And even if these non-Han slaves escape, there is no destination, the Koreans want to return to their homeland, they don't even know what direction the Korean Peninsula is, and even if they know the direction, they climb through the Changbai Mountain, or pass through the area guarded by the border army of Liaozhen, they are almost like death, and the natives of Nanyang are even more impossible, it is especially worth saying that a small number of Japanese serfs are the most popular with the owners of the manor, and generally because of the industriousness and servility of the Japanese serfs who are willing to be cattle and horses, and slightly improve the treatment, None of these widows ever escaped.

Hermes-mes-Epitek's escape was quite simple, and along with the news of the good treatment of Huifeng Manor, there was also a way to escape, as long as the Hermes-Epitek slaves wore a decent dress (which was not difficult to do among those Han people who came from Kannai), and then ran to a certain place near the manor at a certain time, someone there would come to pick them up.

The people who came to pick them up would take them to the Huifeng Manor further north, and along the way there were checkpoints set up by various manors and guards patrolling back and forth, but the people who led the "fugitive slaves" were not stage frightened, and simply said there:

"This is the manpower of our Huifeng Manor."

That's it, and they won't say much, the guards who are already arrogant and accustomed outside the gate are generally helpless to get out of the way, and the biggest creed of the various manor owners outside the gate is not to cause trouble with things and forces related to Jiang Feng, which will cause big trouble.

Although sometimes, the guards of a manor saw the people on the opposite side who claimed to be Huifeng Manor, and there were also people in their own manor who they had seen yesterday, but they couldn't say anything, and they could only let them go. Of course, the rate of such a loss of personnel is not too large, and even if there is a shortage, it is to buy slaves in Jiang Feng's hands.

This route taken by fugitive slaves from various estates was praised and praised by various poems and songs a hundred years later, the most common being the "Path of Benevolence and Righteousness".

In the world that was not crossed, during the American Civil War, abolitionists also built "underground railroads", that is, secret passages, like "trains", to bring black slaves from the south

Fang Chu Nu Prefecture was escorted to the free states in the north or transferred to Canada, which shows that everything is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.

In the great war between the Taining Wei section of the Taer River Valley and the Washorn Mongols, the lords of the manors everywhere entered the customs with small and small families, and half of the guards in the manor were also transferred to fight in the river valley, and the rest of the people stationed in the manor were also panicked, except for the allocation of materials, the rest of the things could not be managed, and they turned a blind eye there.

In the past few months, although the weather has become colder and colder, a large number of Hanmes-Epitek still flocked to Huifeng Manor.

After Jiang Feng's victory, the promulgation of this regulation on the exemption of Han slaves and the restoration of the status of the people, Han people everywhere have supported it, and at the same time, some people are worried that this is not the validity of the slave documents released by those manor owners, and if the manor owners return from the customs outside, whether they will return to the previous state.

Such worries are obviously superfluous, after the restoration of the Han slaves as a people, Jiang Feng's Huifeng Manor's 6,000 soldiers and 8,000 regiments quickly went south, in the original manors according to the division method in North Korea's Huazhou, set up civil guards, but because the displaced population outside the customs is already nearly one million, the division of 5,000 people and one militia in Huazhou is obviously not suitable, so the setting up is 20,000 people and one guard, and the same is according to the civil guard's set up of civil officials, agricultural officials, income and expenditure documents, and regimental training envoys.

Those guards who followed Jiang Feng and fought with the tile thorn did not have to pay taxes, and these people's fields were also cultivated by slaves, but these people must have six to eight months a year to serve in Jiang Feng's troops, as for those guards who stayed behind, if they wanted to get such treatment, they could only go and honestly work for Jiang Feng for three years first.

In a bloody battle with the army of 60,000 thorns for three days, Jiang Feng used less than 10,000 men and horses to kill nearly 30,000 Mongols, this result certainly shows the divine power of the Jiang family's army, but also makes many people who are not Jiang Feng's system feel a little afraid, on the one hand, they are afraid of Jiang Feng, and on the other hand, they are not a safe place to excavate the original Guanwai, and it turns out that the Mongolian Tartars are also aiming at this place.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng won the battle this time, if he lost, the extremely murderous Tartar army would be looted, and it would be hell on earth.

Whether it is the guards or those Han people who have just recovered their free bodies, they are all moved to return to the Guannai, but to the people in Jiang Feng's hands, Jiang Feng has no reason to spit it out, first some of the guards who want to return to the Guannai were exposed by their "righteous indignation" colleagues and those Han people, when the Han people were slaves, these reclamation manor guards did many crimes that hurt the heavens and reason, and they were all exposed.

In front of the arquebuses and spears of the Jiang family's army, the horsemanship and martial arts of the guards became a joke, and soon these people who committed public anger were arrested, their property confiscated, and beheaded for public display, even if they did not even have the opportunity to be slaves.

To be sure, the sins of these people are not necessarily greater than those that have not been revealed, and their greatest sin is to want to get out of the gates.

For those people who want to go home, Jiang Jiajun has no restrictions, and even gives people who are coiled and led the way, but after these people left the Minwei with great gratitude, it didn't take too long to encounter the Jurchen horse bandits, and the whole team was slaughtered.

Jurchen horse bandits were already a term that only appeared in the commentary three years ago, but after the Jiang Jiajun officials at all levels examined the corpse, they all swore that they would say so, and who could refute it.

But up to now, everyone is not stupid, who still doesn't understand what the hell is, no one has taken the initiative to mention the matter of returning to the Guannai, whether it is the guards or the displaced people who have settled down, this has become the most forbidden topic outside the Guan.

With 920,000 people outside the Guan, 650,000 people in Huazhou, and 300,000 people in Yizhou, Jiang Feng can now directly control the Han people, which is close to 2 million, 20,000 soldiers, and nearly 1,000 ships......
