Chapter Seventy-Five: The So-Called Expulsion

Ethnic hatred aside, the biggest characteristic of the Mongols is that they are bold towards people, which can be seen from Zhang Taiji's personal experience and the history he knows. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Genghis Khan fought horses all his life, and launched many wars of foreign conquest, no matter the victory or defeat of the war, he never rebelled under his account.

Throughout history, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign emperors and overlords have all "fierce generals like clouds", and no king can compare with Genghis Khan in terms of the loyalty of his subordinates

At that time, there were more famous ones, four heroes and four dogs.

The four heroes are Mu Huali, Borhu, Chi Lao Wen and Borshu. The four dogs are Wokotai, Jebe, Zhele, and Subutai.

Among the four masters, Mu Huali was only a slave, and was finally named the generalissimo, the prince, and the king by Genghis Khan.

The reason why Kublai Khan was able to quickly quell Li Pu's rebellion was also inseparable from this "bold" character.

Think about it again, the most famous is Yue Fei, a loyal minister of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, a hero of the world, but he was constrained and suspicious by the emperor's ministers, and finally died unjustly on trumped-up charges!

Seeing that Zhang Taiji was silent, and he didn't speak, it took a long time for Zhang Taiji to come back to his senses, realize his gaffe, and hurriedly apologize to Ye Zhili, and only smiled generously, and didn't seem to care.

If this is the case, if it falls on any other person, he may be impressed by the boldness and uninhibited bearing of King Jinan.

Except for Zhang Taiji's age, in terms of his identity alone, he is just an ordinary person, if it weren't for the chance to meet with Yezhili, he had a little relationship.

Otherwise, he doesn't even have the qualifications to talk to him, and he can only treat him like this, which can be called "breaking knots and handing them over".

Fortunately, Zhang Taiji is a person who has lived a lifetime, and has his own lofty ideals, and understands what he wants to do, otherwise he will really kneel down and offer loyalty, and let him drive him? !

The two talked for a while, and in their words, they were only like confidants who had been friends for many years, and said to Zhang Taiji about his suffering as a vassal king, dissatisfied that he had no power, and could only live in the capital.

Zhang Taiji pretended to understand very well on the surface, but his heart was full of contempt, sure enough, people's hearts are greedy, and they are only noble as princes, rich and rich, and they will also have their own dissatisfaction, but they usually don't confide in others.

When I rode back to the village, it was already afternoon, and I couldn't get back to Licheng before dark.

The guards seemed to have prepared in advance, and had already pitched their tents next to the village to prepare for the night. Some of the guards slaughtered cattle and sheep, set up bonfires, and prepared dinner.

Although the Mongols have lived in the Central Plains for many years, and many of them were born and raised in the Central Plains, many of the habits of being in the steppe have been preserved.

Unlike the Han people, who had three meals a day, the Mongols only ate twice in the morning and evening, just like now, even if they were only crowned princes.

As soon as the red sun touched the mountains, the bonfire party began, and the guards gathered around the fire, and on the charcoal fire were roasted fat sheep with oil. The skin bag in his hand was filled with fine wine, and a group of people ate and drank at the same time, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

What was placed in front of Li and Zhang Taiji was the fattest mutton, and the wine of the Western Regions that only nobles could drink. Under the enthusiastic persuasion of Yezhili, and Zhang Taiji was not in a good mood, so he made an exception to drink a little wine.

After all, his body is still a child, and he can drink a pound of Niu Er without peanuts in his previous life, so his face becomes red and fluttering after just a glass, and his head is a little confused, but his brain is extremely clear.

The more sober he was, the more troubled he became, Zhang Taiji couldn't help but have the urge to get drunk, but fortunately his reason restrained him.

It seems to be the nature of the Mongolians to drink alcohol, and the guards all drank heartily, some of them drank too much, sang Mongolian songs loudly, danced together, and some wrestled with each other shirtless in the open field.

He only seemed to be accustomed to this behavior of the guards, and instead of blaming them, he applauded loudly, and ordered the guards around him to give good wine to those who won the wrestling.

This scene looks very cheerful and warm, with a cool breeze, a bright moon and sparse stars, fine wine and fat, laughter, and it seems that everything is so beautiful! But when Zhang Taiji looked at the village through the bonfire, he seemed to feel bursts of killing intent!

Before eating, follow the scribe who is also only around. Liu Wenzhong and Liu Changshi handed over the title deed of the farm to Zhang Taiji, as well as the basic situation of the drive in the farm.

seemed to be afraid that Zhang Taiji would not understand the meaning of the expulsion, so he specially explained it to him.

Liu Wenzhong's words seemed as calm as water, as if he was laying out a straightforward narrative, but Zhang Taiji felt some different meanings in his words.

The so-called "expulsion" originally meant "being captured and driven to others", that is, people who were captured and forced into slavery during the war for others to drive.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between good people and untouchables, and "driving mouth" was a kind of untouchables, and there were many kinds of names: tribesmen, slaves, slaves, slaves, house slaves, and "driving mouths", with different names but in fact one another

According to the law of the Yuan Dynasty, the expulsion belongs to the slut, which is the same as money and things, and is part of the owner's property. The owner has the right to personal possession of the expulsion and can resell it at will.

There are three sources of "expulsion"; 1. The people of the Central Plains and prisoners of war captured by the Mongol nobles and the landlords of Semu during the war, and even the abduction of the people of the Central Plains in the "prosperous era of Chengping" as a "driving mouth" also occurred from time to time. Some of the captives were released as miners (ordinary citizens of the state), but most of them were given to those who had made meritorious contributions as "exorcisms".

Second, within the ruling class, the widening gap between the rich and the poor has led to many small producers (including Mongolian civilians) being reduced to "expulsion" because they cannot repay their debts.

3. Buying them with money, especially in the years of famine, the phenomenon of being sold as a "driving mouth" is very serious.

Most of the people in this farm are ordinary people who have been taken captive in the process of the Mongol destruction of gold. After several additions and decreases and several generations of multiplication, the current farm was formed.

There are many farms like this in the hands of various bureaucrats and aristocrats, and it can be said that there are countless of them. This kind of farm is completely their private property, and the government cannot control it, and they will not manage it directly, but send people to manage it, and collect a certain amount of money and grain every year, the so-called "annual responsibility for their rent".

Whether the people in the farm are doing well or not depends on the character of the waiter, who is directly in charge of these expulsors, because the waiter can resell them at will, punish them indiscriminately, or even kill them. Therefore, if the waiter has a bad character, what is the fate of these exorcists, don't ask yourself!

Later legends say that when a village family marries a daughter-in-law, they must send the bride to the Mongolian family for three days to serve before they can marry the bridegroom. It is self-evident whether the so-called "right of the first night" is true or not.

Even if not all the attendants will take pleasure in oppressing the people, at least Zhang Taiji knows that under absolute power, any kind of dirty thing can happen.

The long night is long, Zhang Taiji rarely has insomnia....!
