Hongyi naturally didn't know what Kotov's inner activities were doing at this moment, and he didn't know that this Rakshasa descendant who had changed his course was endorsing him from the perspective of "removing Wushan is not a cloud".

"Bekotov, do you understand what BOOI is? What's booi-aha again? Hongyi asked in Manchu.

"Back to the master's words, slave...... It's really ...... I don't know. Bekotov didn't expect that he would be left alone, because he wanted to test how his Manchu language skills had grown in the past few days, and he immediately regretted not falling - he knew that he had this question, and he should have written the roster of Alba Niu Lu a few days earlier, so he could have raided Manchu, and it was a big deal to pull down his face and humbly ask Yuri for advice.

Fortunately, Bekotov was not stupid, and hurriedly added: "Please also ask the master to give advice!" ”

"Ha Luha, I haven't learned much about my real skills, but this flattery has grown a lot!" Hongyi teased the one-liner Rus man in front of him, and admired Bekotov's scruffy red face with great interest.

"Minions...... Damn it! ”

"Nope! Not to the damn extent! Who knew that Hongyi's words began to have no hint of ridicule in it, and he said it very seriously, just like the little gong who also put "slaves should die" on his lips in the lesson a few days ago.

"Master......" Bekotov was not sitting or standing at this time, twisting his big body, very restrained and uneasy.

"Bekotov, Chinese culture is broad and profound, but it is not all the essence, and there are also some bad habits that have accumulated for a long time. This sentence of 'damn it' has been on the lips of civil and military officials of all dynasties for many years. It's just that when I arrived in my court, I added a sentence of 'minion', which made it even more useless. Although Hongyi was serious, there was regret and helplessness in his tone, and it didn't seem to be coming at Bekotov himself, which made the leader of the coat feel very relieved, and hurriedly said:

"What the master said, the slave still doesn't quite understand."

This big truth makes Hongyi appreciate it very much! Yes, the straight-up character of Westerners. If it blends with today's officialdom atmosphere. How nice that would be!

"It's okay, you listen to me." Hongyi changed into an amiable appearance and told the story:

"Damn it, you should die. The one who said this. It is nothing more than to show that you admit the mistakes you have made. But. What mistakes can get to the damn point? These have long been clearly stated in the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty". If you don't say it in time, the damned should die, and the unworthy can't die. Therefore, it is not my turn to talk about damn and damn all day long, and I haven't seen a few people really die! ”

"Yes, the minion understands! Whether the slave should die or not depends on the master! Bekotov said self-righteously.

"No, not really. Just now I just asked you two old Manchurian words, knowing the way is knowing the way, not knowing the way is not knowing the way, it's not a big deal. If you tell the truth, not only is there nothing wrong, but there is something to be rewarded. ”

"Thank you, master!" Bekotov's favorite thing to hear is the word "commendation"!

"Even if you make a mistake and break the law one day, you will naturally be handed over to the person in charge of the law to be punished according to the law, and I am not qualified to convict you privately, this is the rule of law, not the rule of man, do you understand?" Hongyi asked expectantly.

"The minion understood. The slave must be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the master, and he will not break the law! Bekotov swore by it.

"Well, that's good!"

Hongyi thus completed the initial popularization of the legal awareness of his current full set of "followers" - first Liang Gong, the chief eunuch of the two of the five institutes in Qiandong, then the personal guard Mara, and now his own coat Bekotov.

"I just asked you two Manchu sentences, you don't know the way, then I'll tell you about it." Hongyi is very satisfied that he is a leader who has a good level, at least some "rule of law spirit", so he said happily:

"Booi, Chinese is coating. Boo is the Manchu word for 'home', and as for i, it means 'something or something', which together means 'home/home'. ”

"In other words, you are my royal coat and collar under the yellow flag, that is my royal family, the family leader, my own people, do you know the way?" Hongyi chose the most intimate words to say, which caused Bekotov to be excited.

"The slave bows and thanks the master for his love!" Bekotov made a heartfelt gesture.

In fact, Hongyi's explanation of "coating" and "coating" is only the tip of the iceberg, and he is only satisfied with the literal meaning, in order to win over Bekotov and win his heart.

Baoyi, the full name of "Baoyi people" or "Baoyi Zuo Ling", "Guanling Subordinates", is a group of servants who have served in the emperor's and clan's princes' homes for generations under the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty, mainly serving as government members, guards, attendants, Zhuangtou, mausoleum garden guards and other messengers, engaged in housekeeping, servants, attendants, etc., so it is called the "Inner Eight Banners", as opposed to the more military functions of the flag division and collar known as the Outer Eight Banners, but in case of war, Baoyi also enlisted to participate in the war.

The upper three banners directly belonging to the emperor are called "internal affairs subordinates", also known as the inner three banners; The coat of the lower five banners under the prince of the banner is called the "prince's mansion", and most of them have been incorporated into the coat during the period outside the Guan.

Baoyi is not actually a so-called "untouchable", its "slave" status is only with the royal family and clan princes, and in society it is basically at the same level as the ordinary flag people in the Eight Banners. They may also have their own ranks, property, and "domestic slaves", i.e., domestic slaves of their own.

There is an essential difference in the legal status of "coating" and "domestic slaves". In addition to the subordination of the main family, the coating also has a subordinate attribute to the country. The domestic slaves are completely subordinate to the master's family, and if the state calls them, they need to obtain the consent of the master's family first. Bao Yi belonged to the ranks of good people, and his domestic slaves were treated as untouchables. According to the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty", if a good person fights to death, the murderer should be sentenced to death. intentional homicide is the beheading of a prisoner; Unintentional death is a hanging. If Bao Yi is killed by an ordinary banner person or a Han Chinese, the murderer will be sentenced to death for the crime of killing a good citizen. Even their owners are not allowed to infringe on the person of their subordinates[1].

If its domestic slaves are beaten to death by ordinary flag men, the murderer is only sentenced to flail and whipping; The Han Chinese beat their domestic slaves to death. Reduced from beheading the prison to hanging the prison marquis. On the contrary, if the cloth beats a good citizen to death, it will be handled normally as if the good citizen was beaten to death; And if a domestic slave kills a good citizen, he shall be punished more severely according to the original crime.

As for the record of the word "coating", it was first found in the "Manchurian Record". The original origins were lower-class members of the Jurchen tribes, adopts by the ruling family, non-blood families accepted, clan members, and some foreign relatives. For example, the Wanyan clan of the Inner Mansion was once compiled into the coating because of the in-law relationship with the Qing Taizu Nu ~ Erhachi. In addition, there are many relatives who follow the Qing Taizunu ~ Erhachi Rising Soldiers are subordinate to Baoyi, and the Eight Banners have not changed after being customized.

At first, the special relationship between Bao Yi and the ruling family made them the most trusted and loyal retainers, domestic servants, and right-hand men. Even friends of the owner. With the continuous expansion of the power of the Nurhachi family. The sources of coatings are also becoming increasingly complex. From the previous sources, it expanded to include prisoners of war, indentured servants, and convicted people. Since then, the identity of the Baoyi members with them as the main body has also become more and more stable, and they have begun to appear in history as a slave class.

After the establishment of the flag system, special coatings and collars and pipe collars were set up. On top of this, the reference is placed. The number of adjutants was the largest in Manchuria. Qi Gu [for the Han surname among the clothed people. Sometimes it is directly called the Han army. Therefore, it is often confused with the Han army in the outer Eight Banners, followed by Goryeo, Huizi, and Fanzi.

Shangsanqi Baoyi has its own household registration and belongs to the main household. Its status belongs to the ranks of the banner bearers. The Interior Office, the body formed by them to serve the imperial family, balanced the power of the eunuchs in the palace and reduced the possibility of eunuch monopoly. Some of the Lower Five Banners also have their own household registration, and the other part is attached to the main household registration. Except for the reasons of the concubine's family carrying the flag, making military exploits, performing well as officials, and rehabilitating crimes, their identities are fixed from generation to generation, and the children born are called "family sons", and they are reborn as "second-generation slaves", "third-generation slaves", etc., serving the main family for generations. The more algebras, the more trusted the master is, the higher the status, and the more important things he is.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Baoyi could participate in the imperial examination more extensively, and thus enter the official career; You can also choose armor soldiers to form various types of barracks. Because the upper three banners are directly subordinate to the emperor and belong to the "emperor's family", their status, career, and opportunities to fill the vacancies are much higher than those of the lower five banners. Since the five banners belong to the prince privately, the opportunities for the prince are basically limited to serving in the prince's mansion. However, once the imperial court elected Xia Wuqi Baoyi as an official, it did not need to seek the approval of its master. In the final Qing generation, there were many people who served as feudal officials [2].

Because "Baoyi" appeared before the Eight Banners system, it could also refer to the nobles with different surnames in addition to the emperor and the princes of the clan, and the slaves who did not enter the Eight Sects and the families of ordinary banner people, but with the improvement of the Baoyi system in the Eight Banners, in order to avoid confusion, since the end of Shunzhi, the private slaves of the bannermen with different surnames have been renamed "subordinate domestic slaves" and "Eight Banner household slaves" in Chinese, etc., and their status in terms of law, marriage, and political rights is much lower than that of Baoyi.

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding tears of joy
