Chapter 1108: Two Classes of Sins
Although the officers and soldiers had guns in their hands, they were obviously running out of bullets, and they were just stabbing them with bayonets, but they were obviously unable to stop the crowd outside, and although many of them were stabbed down in a short time, their ranks broke away in a moment, and one by one they fell under the knives and sticks of the rebels.

The housekeeper and the noblewoman, mother and daughter, were all caught by the rebels, and the two rebels dragged the housekeeper to the ground and stabbed the butler with the bamboo gun in his hand.
Seeing the blood spurting out of the butler's chest violently, Li Huiyuan, who was hiding behind the pile of firewood and grass, immediately screamed, and at the moment when she was about to make a sound, a hand quickly reached over and covered her mouth.
She turned her head and saw that the face, which was as beautiful as her, was pale to the point of no blood.
It was her good sister Min Zhixuan.
The rebels did not realize their hiding place, and after killing the butler and all the officers and soldiers, they began to brutalize the captured noblewoman, mother and daughter.
Seeing the mother and daughter, the wife and daughter of Jeonju County Supervisor Jin Xianyong, stripped off their clothes and tied to a tree in the courtyard with ropes, and subjected to horrific atrocities by those who had been enslaved, Min Zhixuan turned her head and closed her eyes tightly.
She was afraid that if she looked at the cruel and terrible scene again, her spirit would break.
As the daughters of the criminal ministers Lee Jae-mian and Min Tae-ho, it is already very miserable to "distribute" Concubine Min here, but the two of them never dreamed that they would encounter something even more terrible than "dispensing".
They just want it to end quickly and not to happen to them.
But it backfired, and soon the rioters discovered their hiding place.
All resistance from the two of them was to no avail, and when they were also stripped naked and tied to a tree, Li Huiyuan saw the bodies of Mrs. Kim's mother and daughter, who were scarred and no longer human.
Will this be the end of the two sisters?
At this moment, she has no strength to struggle.
A fishy face was approaching her naked body, and there was a hideous laugh all around her.
She bit her tongue violently.
In the next life, I just don't want to live in North Korea again.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and the expression on that face froze instantly, then shook and fell to the side.
Looking at the blood splattered on her snow-white chest, her eyes widened in surprise, and her tongue-biting behavior stopped.
I saw an officer wearing a blue military uniform and a large-brimmed hat, holding a sword in one hand and a revolver in the other, rushing in single-handedly.
"Rats dare to do this!" The officer glared angrily at the rebels in front of him and shouted.
Hearing that the other party was speaking dry language, a glimmer of hope rose in Li Huiyuan's heart.
Could it be that the heavenly soldiers of Shangbang have arrived?
The rebels also apparently recognized the identity of this Qianguo officer, and many of them had a look of fear on their faces.
For the suzerain, the Great Qian Empire, there is an instinctive fear in their hearts.
"Kill the dog of Qianguo!" One of the leaders of the rebels shouted, raised his knife and was about to slash at the officers of the Qianguo, but at this moment, another gunshot rang out, and the head of the rebel leader burst out of a cloud of blood mist, and his body immediately fell backwards.
The chaotic people were in a big mess again, and they all retreated, looking at the evil god in front of them in panic.
The officer of Qianguo glanced at the two women tied to the tree, frowned, and shouted in Qianyu: "Kill them all!" Not a single one to stay! ”
Hearing that this Qianguo officer seemed to be giving an order to someone, Li Huiyuan and Min Zhixuan turned their heads and immediately saw the blue wave outside the door.
The sound of gunfire rang out incessantly, and the screams of the rioters were everywhere.
In a few moments, all the rebels were reduced to dead bodies all over the ground.
The officer of Qianguo did not look at it, swung his sword and cut the rope that bound Li Huiyuan and Min Zhixuan, then turned his back to them, walked through the pool of blood all over the ground, came to the carriage, pulled through a suitcase and opened it, took out the women's clothes inside, came to them in front of the frightened and restless, and put the clothes on their bodies.
"It's okay, don't worry." He looked at them and spoke softly in Korean.
At this time, the cadres of the brigade appeared in the courtyard.
Several officers and soldiers who rushed forward couldn't help but be stunned when they saw them.
"What do you see?" The Qianguo officer glanced at his subordinates and asked calmly.
"Back to sir! The subordinates didn't see anything! Several soldiers immediately raised their heads and replied loudly.
"Check if there is any alive, make up for the gas with a knife, and don't leave a single live mouth." The officer looked at Mrs. Jin's mother and daughter among the dead bodies, then at Li Huiyuan and Min Zhixuan, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The subordinates replied in unison.
Li Huiyuan and Min Zhixuan knew that this respectable officer was doing this to protect their honor, and they couldn't help but be moved and hugged each other and cried.
"Wei'er went to North Korea this time, and he was able to accept two lords," Lin Yiqing put down the telegram in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "A few days ago, I accepted the eldest daughter of the Xiyuan Temple family, and this time I accepted the daughters of Lee Jae-mian and Min Tae-ho, this peach blossom luck is really not ordinarily strong!" ”
"North Korea has always produced beautiful women, if Lin Jun likes it, he can also accept one." Shimazu Yoko smiled when she heard this, "Did Lin Jun forget that you also have a North Korean beauty here, the sister of Kim Yujun, the champion of North Korea, who is still holding you there." ”
"Yes! I forgot about her. Lin Yiqing heard Yoko Shimazu talk about Jin Taixin, and couldn't help touching the scars on her hands, and said stupidly, "This girl bit me last time, and her teeth are ruthless enough." ”
"The little girl is not sensible, isn't it enough to educate and educate?" Yoko Shimazu smiled, "She has now become a great beauty, isn't Lin Jun tempted when he sees her?" ”
"Okay, I'm going to educate her." Lin Yiqing looked at the many newly washed photos on the desktop about the current situation in North Korea, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
In fact, now Jin Taixin no longer needs Lin Yiqing's education.
She had seen in the newspapers what North Korea was like now.
Although she has been under house arrest by Lin Yiqing all these years, Lin Yiqing has not completely isolated her from the outside world, as long as she doesn't want to escape, her requirements can basically be met, such as reading books and newspapers, shopping and shopping, Lin Yiqing has never forbidden.
Over the years, Lin Yiqing's predictions and evaluations of the DPRK have been correct.
Now Kim Tae-hin has understood the crux of North Korea's poverty and weakness.
That's two shifts.
The examination system of ancient Korea was divided into three types: orthodox imperial examination, martial imperial examination and miscellaneous imperial examination. Zhengke and Wuke are the privileges of the two groups of disciples, and ordinary people can only participate in miscellaneous courses. In the Joseon Dynasty, Liangban was synonymous with the Shidae and their family groups, but the meaning of the word "Liangbang" itself was not so. During the Goryeo period, officials at all levels were divided into "munban" (civil officials) and "muban" (military generals), and they were awarded according to their ranks. Because above the court, civil officials stand in the east and military generals stand in the west, so the two classes are called the east and west classes. After King Taejo founded the country, he also inherited the old system of the Goryeo period and formed a new Wenban and Wuban, whose identity was passed down from generation to generation, and became the ruling class of the Joseon Dynasty, monopolizing all the rights of the country.
Like the old-fashioned aristocracy of the Goryeo period, the two classes of the Joseon Dynasty have been in control of the country's economic base since the early days of the nation's founding. In the reform of the Ketian system under the leadership of Taejo Yi Sung-gye, the meritorious officials led by Chung Do-chuan seized the land from the old aristocracy, and after the founding of the country, the fields (Ketian) and Fenglu (so-called meritorious fields) granted by the imperial court under various names, as well as the fields of the common people who were privately occupied and annexed by the two classes, caused the wealth of the two classes to accumulate continuously, and the government tax sources became increasingly stretched, and the economic privileges of the two classes caused the poverty of the Korean state. Since the reign of Sejong, the expansion of the two classes of farms has been irrepressible, and the peasants who have lost their land due to the ingenuity of the two classes have become tenant farmers, and the two classes with enough farms and slaves have accelerated the reclamation of barren land and further annexed the land, and the wealth of the two classes has snowballed. It is not difficult to understand that the two classes of fish and meat people in the local area receive huge land rents, and politically, the two classes are also wealthy, so it is not difficult to understand the disorder of the imperial court program and social order. The two classes finally became the de facto rulers of the country separated from the common people and the royal family, and the royal family could only get the nutrients for survival from the leftovers in the mouths of the two classes, and the decline of the royal family caused by this lasted for hundreds of years.
Since the identity of the two classes is hereditary, and over time, the population of the two classes also grows, so there is a struggle within the two classes, which is a process of survival of the fittest in the two classes themselves. During the Joseon Dynasty, the distinction between concubines and concubines was very strict, and in order to control the rapid growth of the population of the two classes, since the time of King Taejong, a provision was made for "concubines and concubines". In order to slow down the population growth rate of the two classes, the population of the two classes of concubines who are the two classes of concubines are reduced to another class that is separated from the circle of the two classes, called "middle people", and they are not allowed to enjoy the treatment of the two classes, but can only act as low-level grassroots officials such as translators, medical officers, and school arresters. On the other hand, in order to protect their own property, the two classes will inevitably dig out their minds to consolidate their position, and there was a struggle in the court for limited official positions, and later, the contradictions between the individual scholars and doctors finally rose to the struggle of the gate valve, and the individual scholars and doctors had to join a certain group one after another to seek benefits, which formed a party struggle. The struggle between the Korean scholars and doctors began with mere differences of political views and ideas, and eventually developed into a multitude of political parties and constant divisions. The partisanship intensified, and the two classes slowly collapsed in the process, along with the continuous decay of the country.
Soon after the founding of Korea, the division of Zhuzi's doctrine had already begun to appear. The old faction led by the heroes, and the opposition Shilin faction who insisted on the festival and refused to serve the new dynasty. Led by Jung In-toe and Shin Shu-ju, the old school was also known as the "faction" and was the core of the country's rule, inheriting the Taoist lineage of the great theologian Kwankin and gathering in the Hanyang area. The Lingnan scholars, led by Kim Shuzi, inherited the Taoist tradition of the scholar Ji Zai and adhered to the solitary loyalty to the Goryeo Dynasty, becoming the Shilin school corresponding to the old school of Yuxun, also known as the private school. This was the basic situation of the Shidaefu forces before the start of the party struggle in the Joseon Dynasty. And this situation began to change after King Sejo usurped the throne of King Duanzong. The courtiers of the old school of Hoon were divided into two factions because of their support for Sejong: the faction led by Jung In-toe, who claimed to be the orthodox successor of the old school, and the faction led by Sung Sam-wan, who was dissatisfied with King Sejo (King Sejo was the second son of King Sejong) who usurped the throne and supported King Tuanjong (King Duanjong was the grandson of King Sejong and son of King Moonjong). In this way, the factions that are dissatisfied with the king of Shizu can be divided into the righteous faction represented by the "Dead Six Ministers" and the righteous faction represented by the "Born Six Ministers". The so-called dead six ministers refer to the six people who intended to overthrow King Shizu and support the restoration of the abolished king Duanzong, including Jin Wenqi, Cheng Sanwen, Ha Weidi, Li Kai, Park Pengnian, and Liu Chengyuan, who were exterminated in the second year of King Shizu. The so-called six ministers refer to Jin Shixi, Li Mengzhuan, Cheng Tanshou, Zhao Lu, Yuan Hao, Nan Xiaowen and other six scholars who were dissatisfied with the usurpation of the throne by King Shizu and faded out of officialdom. The struggle between the scholars and the doctors intensified as the time went on, and after the Shilin faction, which was opposed to the old faction, entered the imperial court, the struggle between the scholars and doctors became unprecedentedly fierce. In the era of King Chengzong, the Shilin forces set foot in the imperial court, and the imperial court rapidly implemented political reforms that were in line with the governance philosophy of the Shilin faction and contrary to the interests of the old school, and the contradictions between the old and Shilin were difficult to reconcile, and finally caused a series of "Shi disasters" in the era of Yanshanjun, which continued until the era of King Mingzong. In the midst of these 50 years of calamities, the Shilin forces, which had been repeatedly attacked, formed a party in the imperial court, and the struggle of the scholars rose to the stage of party struggle.
During the "Imjin War", due to war and other reasons, the number of good citizens that the government could recruit decreased, and the officers and soldiers could not afford to resist the entire battlefield, so they had to rely on the rebels to fight. Therefore, the reward for meritorious deeds of the righteous army was produced, thus opening the way for the untouchables and slaves to be good. A large number of public and private slaves and servants who were not good citizens of the two classes were rewarded by the government by joining the rebel army, or they got rid of the lowly position, or entered the two classes. There is a similar principle of reward in the chaos, which confers a higher rank on the lower classes of people who have established military merits. In addition, in order to restore the social economy that had been ravaged after the war, the government adopted measures of selling out officials, and a group of rich peasants who were willing to pay grain were joined the ranks of the two classes, and those who were promoted to the two classes by paying grain production were not limited to rich peasant merchants, but even public and private slaves and handicraftsmen were happy to do so. Later, this system of selling officials became a common practice, once there was an economic crisis in the government, a large number of officials and lords were sold, and unsigned letters of appointment were sold, and it became a common transaction to be promoted to two classes, after which, the population of the two classes rose rapidly, and in modern times, the proportion of the two classes in the total population has even reached the majority, accounting for about six to seventy percent.
On the one hand, the lower classes of the people continue to rise to the ranks of the two classes, and on the other hand, there are also many inherent two classes that have lost their power, been squeezed out of the center of power, and have been reduced to the township class (the two classes in the countryside) or even lower status workers. The declining Liangban was a potential factor in the instability of the Joseon Dynasty, and the frustrated declining Liangban often clashed head-on with the Joseon Dynasty, leading various civil unrest against the government.
Due to the war and famine, the political situation in North Korea was unstable, and the change of the identity system of the two classes led to a sharp increase in the number of the two classes, but the proportion of the two classes at the low level was too high, so the internal differentiation of the two classes was serious, the two classes in power were corrupt and degenerate, the two classes that lost power fell into poverty, and the overall social function of the two classes declined significantly; The decline of the social status of the two classes and the rise of the social status of the Chinese people, coupled with the influence of the Westernization Movement of the Qianguo, the opening up to the outside world led to the rise of the new rich class, and the difference between the two classes and the non-two classes narrowed; Changes in the productive forces and relations of production lead to drastic changes in social relations. In this social context, the identity values of the two classes began to be questioned and criticized, and although the two classes were still nominally dominant, their social identities were significantly devalued.
The expansion of the population of the two classes has always been an insurmountable disease of the two classes, and the natural growth of the population of the two classes has put the two classes under tremendous population pressure. Since the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, after all the "rebellion" and "indiscriminate chaos", the boundaries between the two classes and the common people have been blurred, and a large number of people who are not from the two classes have poured into the two classes, and the authority of the two classes has plummeted. Two classes of officials and even the rich, both fish and meat of the people, can the people not be the enemy? His survival depends entirely on the people, so why did he put the people to death? Therefore, the people look forward to the death of the country day and night, and if there is a word, it will be said that the country will die, saying: 'This dynasty will die, and it must die, so why not die early?' The collapse of the political system of the Joseon Dynasty, which was based on the two classes, was inevitable, and the Joseon Dynasty embarked on the road to defeat because of the two classes.
Seeing the newspaper about the declining status quo of North Korea, Kim Tae-hin cried sadly.
The door opened, and Lin Yiqing walked in.
Seeing her crying, Lin Yiqing was stunned at first, but after seeing the newspaper on her desk, he immediately understood.
Lin Yiqing pretended to sigh sadly, and threw the photos and reports in his hand on the table.
When Kim Tae-hin saw him come in, she didn't want him to see her tears, so she immediately stopped crying, took the handkerchief, and wiped the tears from her face.
Without waiting for Lin Yiqing to speak, she had already seen the photo on the table and immediately took the photo.
Seeing the situation of the two classes of officials and ordinary people in the photo, she felt as if there was a fire burning in her chest.
"Lord Juebu, you are wise and powerful, rare in the world, and you have done a lot of practical things for North Korea, you know that such a tragic thing is happening in North Korea, why don't you stop it?" Jin Tae-xin raised the photo in his hand and asked loudly, "Did you take these pictures with your camera and show them to me, just to sting a weak woman like me?" (To be continued.) )
