"Ah, what a familiar plot." Zhu Wenkui said with emotion.

"That's why I finally recognized my grandmother." Guo Kang explained: "This is actually a very common way. You see, from Brother Tian to Houji, all use this term. ”

"It makes sense." Zhu Wenkui agreed: "So the idea of blood relationship, in the early stage of civilization, may not be meaningful. ”

"But every ethnic group has developed like this from the early days. The source is not clear, and I want to distinguish it by blood, which is really unreasonable. ”

"Then can the identity of this servant be verified?" Jeanne Jr. asked.

"A nomad hundreds of years ago, where can I go to verify my identity?" Guo Kang shook his head: "Whether it is the herdsmen of the Boyawu tribe, or the people they captured, or whether they are fleeing in the first place, I can't tell." Ma Ali Hei may be the diacritic of Boyawutai, and these two names may mean the same thing, that is, 'men of the Boyawu tribe'. That's all we know about his background. ”

"Moreover, even if it is certain that it is a person from the headquarters of Boyawu, it is difficult to say who his ancestor is. Steppe tribes are very mobile, and some often break away from the tribe or join other tribes. ”

"During the Tang Dynasty, the Daning area was the tent of King Xi, and later the Xi people moved away from here with their close relatives Khitan, and the vacant place was occupied by the Boya Wu tribe. Therefore, these tribesmen may be people from the forests of the northeast, or they may be Murowei herdsmen, or they may be the Xi people and Khitan people who stayed behind, or they may even be the Central Plains people who went north. ”

"Such a complicated ......" little Jeanne could no longer keep up with these terms.

"I suggest starting with the history of the Tang Dynasty. Earlier, you can put it away for the time being. Guo Kang introduced his reading experience: "Because as long as you start from the Tang Dynasty and sort it out little by little, then most of the Eurasian continent can be covered." ”

"The Khitans were the auxiliary army placed in the northeast by the Tang Dynasty that year. And unlike other tribes, they were not the kind of tribe that submitted the entire tribe to the Tang Dynasty through Zhao'an or conquest. Originally, these people had only a loose alliance, not even a unified tribe. It was the Tang Dynasty who personally handled it and organized it for them from scratch. ”

"It can be said that the entire Khitan Group was shaped by the Tang Dynasty itself. So from the very beginning, the Khitan and Xi people had a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty. ”

"However, in the era of Wu Zetian, the imperial court forced the Khitans against them through a series of magical operations, which was called the 'Yingzhou Rebellion'. In this war, the combat effectiveness of the Khitans was outrageous, and this is also the reason - they were originally a regular auxiliary army made by the Tang Dynasty, and it was quite easy to fight Wu Zetian's thief army. ”

"After the Yingju Rebellion, the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty over Northeast China and Korea finally collapsed, and it has not been restored until now. However, Xuanzong had made some efforts to set up the Pinglu Army in Yingzhou's hometown and re-recruited the Khitan and Xi people. ”

During this period, the Tang Dynasty's influence on the local area was still higher than that of other tribes. Youzhou and Yingzhou, although the name is fetters, but in fact they belong to the 'version of the fetters state', which means that the tribute and the edition are all handed over to the household department for registration. ”

"Oh, so they have a hukou too." Zhu Wenkui suddenly realized.

"Yes, these tribes were not only nominally subordinate to the Tang Dynasty. In other places, it may be that the capital protectorate calls people, and the tribal leader brings troops depending on the situation - similar to the relationship between the vassals and feudal lords on the European side. Guo Kang said metaphorically: "But among their confined states, there are also troops sent by the central government of the Tang Dynasty to be stationed. This is because in wartime, it is necessary to quickly use the Central Army as the backbone and integrate the tribal soldiers into the army to form a unified command unit and improve combat efficiency. There are many examples of this in the Tang Dynasty's operations to the northeast. ”

"In addition, not only military management, but also administrative jurisdiction between the two sides. Their superiors are Hebei Province, and obviously there will be administrative dealings as well. ”

"No wonder they've always seemed so confident, and there's always a feeling that they're too little of an outsider." Zhu Wenkui sighed with emotion: "It turns out that I also have a hukou......

"It's not just household registration." Guo Kang said: "After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, An Lushan coerced the local Hu people to participate in the rebellion. However, due to the large number of cronies withdrawn from An Lushan, the internal emptiness of the Pinglu army, some officers loyal to the Tang Dynasty took this opportunity to do it anyway. A large number of Khitan and Xi people who were unwilling to take refuge in An Lushan also gathered in Yingzhou to confront the rebels. ”

But the Tang Dynasty was defeated again and again, and these people were unable to support it in the end. In the end, Shi Siming captured Yingzhou, and the Pinglu army could only flee across the sea and settle down in Shandong. ”

These loyal factions of the Pinglu Army did not go back later, but stayed in the local area and established Ziqing Town. The state of Jianzhou, which they withdrew, was also temporarily placed in the Central Plains by the imperial court. There were many vassal tribes before and after, and they fled south to the Tang Dynasty. There are 10 prefectures in Henan alone, accounting for a small half of the total establishment. After the rebellion was put down, they returned one after another. ”

"Therefore, the people in this area cannot be simple grassland herders. Even without taking into account the usual migration and exile, these garrisons, officials, and the movement back and forth between the Central Plains and the frontier areas alone were enough to bring a large number of Central Plains people into the tribe. ”

"It's been a tortuous experience." Zhu Wenkui said with emotion.

"That's right, that's why I said, when it comes to blood, I'm afraid it's even more unclear." Guo Kang said: "The place where the Boyawu tribe is located has always been the passage between the grassland and the Central Plains. Who is Ma Alihei...... It can only be said that anyone is possible. ”

In his time, Iranian scholars examined the tomb of Ghazan Khan (Ghazan Khan began to believe in the Heavenly Religion and had a clear tomb) and found that his paternal genes were likely to be from the Central Plains.

This ancient sample, the persuasiveness is much higher, and the Persians are not a relevant party. On the other hand, bloodline changes were also the norm in ancient courts, so it may not be possible to determine anything for a single sample.

"We are not the time of the three generations of antiquity, and there are too many historical cases that you have seen." Guo Kang said: "Religion belongs to religion, history belongs to history, and there is no need to dwell too much on these. Otherwise, there will be a whole bunch of unexplained things popping up. ”

"Because it's not just Mongolians, other people don't necessarily have the right background. For example, the official family of the Zhao family, they are actually from the Rong Di around the Jin Kingdom, and they may be the descendants of the ghost Fang, and they are also relatives of Yiqu - they may be the last traditional Rong Di who is still in power. And the Liao State Yelu clan, the bloodline comes from the Zhou Dynasty. How should this be calculated? ”

"Really? How I haven't heard of it. Zhu Wenkui was surprised.

"Because it doesn't matter in the first place." Guo Kang spread his hands: "The Son of Heaven is not looking at the bloodline, but who can conform to the will of heaven and have virtue." Otherwise, we would still be in the Xia Dynasty. ”

"That's ......," Zhu Wenkui nodded.
