However, it was said that in the camp of the Mianzhu homeless people, Li Teh was eating with his family, and when he received the order just given by Luo Shang, his face changed greatly, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

As mentioned earlier, Li Xiang and them are descendants of the Ba people. The country of Ba was destroyed by the state of Chu that year, and the land of Ba was returned to Chu. Later, the Qin State first destroyed the Shu State, and then occupied the Ba Land, and established Shu County to govern the people of the original Shu State and the Ba State. Later, after the former Shang merchant Gaozu destroyed the Qin State with the princes, he was sealed in Hanzhong by the overlord of Chu. Then, when Shang Gaozu and the overlord of Chu were fighting for the world, almost all men over the age of fifteen in almost every household of their Ba people fought for Shang Gaozu, and they were famous for not being afraid of death. According to the legend of Li Xiang's family for generations, Pakistan has been living in Pakistan for more than 600 years. The Chu people coveted the richness of Pakistan and continued to fight with Pakistan for many years. Although the people of Pakistan are brave and good at fighting, Chu is a big country, and Chu has not hurt its bones after repeated defeats, while Pakistan will never have the upper hand after the last defeat. After more than 200 years of war and peace between the two countries, the state of Pakistan was finally destroyed by the state of Chu. Therefore, when Shang Gaozu and the Chu overlord fought, the original people of Pakistan joined Shang Gaozu's army with the determination to fight against the Chu army. In the end, when Shang Gaozu ruled the world, the Ba people made great merit and ordered Ba Di never to pay taxes, and legend has it that Shang Gaozu liked the dances and songs of the Ba people the most, and after getting the world, he specially asked Yuefu to go to Ba Di to learn the dance songs of the Ba people, and then often performed for himself.

This is the history that the Ba people talk about the most, and they have always been proud of it.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty for more than 200 years, the only areas that never paid taxes were Ba County and Pei County, the hometown of Shang Gaozu.

In their opinion, he was the closest disciple of the emperor of the Liu family of the Great Shang.

After Shang Zhaolie re-erected the banner of the Great Shang in Shudi, the people of Badi had a huge disagreement. Some say that the Later Shang court is still in Shangluo, and the CD is a rebellion. But some people say that Da Zhou is about to usurp Hou Shang, which is simply well known. As the closest children of the Liu family of the big businessman, we should work hard for the Liu family clan of the CD. The merchant has been in the world for more than 400 years, and the Liu family has never treated our Ba people badly, so our Ba people naturally can't afford the old Liu family.

Some of the Ba people eventually chose to fight for the Shu merchants, and some such as Li Xiang's great-grandfather chose to take refuge in Emperor Wu of Zhou. Of course, more people are drifting away, and whoever occupies Badi will fight for whomever he wants.

"You have to keep in mind the history of our Ba people and our Li family, and you must understand that the imperial court in the Central Plains is extremely powerful, and it is far from what we Ba people can fight against. No matter how brave and good our people are, the number of people is so small, compared with the Central Plains, it is like a drop in the ocean. At any time, do not oppose the imperial court, and uphold the concept of loyalty. ”

Li Xiang's great-grandfather led more than 500 families of his tribe from Bajun to Hanzhong when the three kingdoms of Zhou, Shang and Wu were in turmoil. During the Great War of Zhou Shang and Hanzhong, his great-grandfather chose to defect to the Great Zhou in the Central Plains and was worshiped as a general by Sima Cao, Emperor Wu of Zhou. After the defeat of Emperor Wu of Zhou in the Hanzhong War, he moved them to Luoyang.

Whenever the merchants in Yongzhou and Qinzhou contemptuously called them Bayi, they would retort: You are the Qiang, and your whole family is the Qiangdi! We are the Ba people, and we are the sons and daughters of the great merchants.

However, these are useless, the people over there still call them so, and when it comes to Li Xiang, it is they, the original Ba people who have lived for hundreds of years in the past, have acquiesced to the title of Ba Yi

We are not Di people, we are Ba people!

Li Xiang has always been full of resentment towards the title of Bayi.

Ba was a vassal state of the Great Yin royal family back then, not to mention the Chu State and the Qin State, which had nothing to do with the eight poles of the Great Yin royal family, that is, the Qi State and the Wu State, which was not as close as the relationship between Ba and the Great Yin. According to the legend of the elders of the Li Tejia family since ancient times, the body refining method he cultivated came from the Da Yin royal family, and although the Li family was not the descendant of the Ba royal family, they were also the descendants of the Ba royal family.

Although Da Yin has been dead for more than 600 years, and although it has been nearly 1,500 years since they were enthroned, Li Xiang has always been proud of being a descendant of the Da Yin royal family.

The reason why he made up his mind not to return to Luoyang County in Qinzhou was not only because of the water, soil and climate there, but also because of this.

I can't let the descendants of my waiting for be completely regarded as barbaric and backward Di people after a few years, we are the descendants of the noble Ba people, not the descendants of the uncivilized Di barbarians in the eyes of Da Yin back then.

He knew in his heart that no matter who he was, as long as he was born in that place in Luoyang, no matter who your ancestors were, they would be contemptuously called Di people. Even if those people know that you are not a person, you will not take advantage of the advantages in your mouth.

You are savages, turtles, uncivilized!

If you don't say that, you're not happy. As long as Lao Tzu is happy, Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are a Di person or a turtle. And the more you say that, the more you blush, the happier he is, and the more he likes to say that.

Dogs, wild pigs, these are the two words that their group of descendants of the Ba people in Lüyang hear most often when arguing with others.

Li Xiang often thinks that if he is really a descendant of the barbarians, then he will admit it. But I'm really not a descendant of the barbarians!

Li Xiang couldn't change this situation, he couldn't stop the casual mockery of those people, the only thing he could do was to flee from that place.

If you can't change others, then change yourself!

These bitter waters can only be borne silently by themselves, no one listens to his explanation, and if you explain, in the eyes of everyone, you are the so-called Bayi. It was as if the title had been imprinted on the descendants of the Ba people.

He was always indignant about it.

Everyone is a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, why do you have to distinguish between high and low?

And this high and low is not divided by status and title, but by birthplace, what a slot!

After hearing Luo Shang's latest order to expel their displaced people, these grievances that had been suppressed for a long time exploded in an instant like a volcanic eruption.

It was your imperial court that moved us to Lüyang back then, not our Li family, not our Ba people who wanted to go to that poor land of mountains and bad waters.

Our Li family and even these Ba people who follow our Li family have been working hard for so many years, contributing to the imperial court, and defending one side for the imperial court, why did they fall into such a situation?

Mocked by everyone as a bayi?

Finally escaped back to his homeland, and he had to be forcibly driven away?

We have just made great contributions to the imperial court, we have just put down Zhao Min and their rebellion, why can't our hard work be exchanged for the treatment of a place to live in Bashu again?

Since your court is unkind, then don't blame me for Li Xiang's injustice!

Even if I face many hardships and dangers, even if I have to die for a lifetime, I, Li Xiang, will never let the children I wait for return to Luoyang, and I will never let the children I wait for be ridiculed by the world again.

"Dang'er," he made up his mind at this time, the worry on his face dissipated, and was replaced by a resolute look, "Go and invite Yan Ling here, for my father, I want to discuss with Yan Ling again." ”
