The concubine has a low status, but she has a reputation. Many wealthy families have many women who have no status at home.

So for ordinary people, it is still monogamy, and no matter what the rest are called concubines.

This is a status like Hu Yi, and there is no way to do so unless he can be named Duke, he can be like Xu Da, one family and two countries like Xu Da. It is because Xu Da's identity is noble enough, and the rest are fake.

The concubines are strictly differentiated in the laws of the Ming Dynasty and are divided into six levels, namely, the daughter of a noble family, the legitimate daughter of a good family, the maid of a good wife, and the daughter sold by a poor family in a poor family. Below are the concubines of an actor and a lower-level concubine. The first two levels of these six levels are registered by the government and have status at home, and are considered to be half the level of a mistress.

This type is called the so-called three wives and four concubines, and can also be understood as being a common wife.

The rest are concubines, fifth and sixth grades, similar to slaves.

This is the strict social hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the late Ming Dynasty that the court had a turbulent direction and the people's hearts were in chaos. This was the real chaos of the rules.

Hu Yi's concubine belongs to the first class and is a famous concubine.

Strictly speaking, Wan Xueer's identity is born in Dusifang and can be defined as a sixth-class concubine. Even if Bai Minghe has a face, she is only a fifth-class concubine. Even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty's amnesty order can make artists a good place. However, the thoughts deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years will never bring artists to the top two levels.

It would be good to be able to carry my daughter to a poor family.

According to common sense, at the level of concubines, those below the level of second grade are not qualified to participate in such a banquet. But Wan Xueer is special, not because of the identity of Bai Minghe, but because Wan Xueer herself is already special enough. The number one courtesan in the Ming Dynasty is not a waste of time. The name of that art book also makes up for the face of the Confucian ministers.

Then, the problem arose.

Sun Yuanjun and Huaiyu, who is the real wife?

The emperor didn't ask about this question, but no one dared to ask. This is the face of the royal family. I have never heard of a princess in the royal family who is going to be a concubine. So who dares to ask about the question of the white-named crane wife? Even the clan's mansion has discussed it privately, and the sons of the two daughters are the legitimate sons, and only the elders are the young.

A happy event in the flower field shocked the birds nesting under the eaves of the Palace of Taihe...

What a festive banquet, who would have thought that opera could be performed like this?

Opera originated from the Tang Dynasty, developed in the Yuan Dynasty, and flourished in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Bai Minghe only brought this process one step ahead and used opera to tell a story. The opera performance of later generations has been accumulated for thousands of years. Bai Minghe used the experience of later generations to operas in the early Ming Dynasty, which was in the development period, and the natural effect was extremely obvious.

It was lively for an afternoon, most of the night.

More than a hundred people from Nanjing were so tired that they didn't even want to clink their cups when drinking water, but they still had to insist on packing their luggage and leave the palace at night and return to Bai Mansion. They gave a lot of rewards, so much that they borrowed the carriage from the palace to pull back the rewarded property.

"You have something to worry about?" Bai Minghe noticed that Wan Xueer had never smiled.

After reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Wan Xueer responded: "No. Just a little tired!"

Bai Minghe was about to ask again, when a ward of the East Factory approached the team. An escort immediately tapped the car window gently: "Sir, some information."

Bai Minghe didn't have the chance to ask again, and signaled that the convoy would go back to the mansion first, and then he went to Dongchang.

In the east factory, Shu Liang and a few people were sorting out the information. When they saw Bai Minghe coming over and bowed: "Sir, I have to let you handle official duties in the New Year, which is really hard!"

"You guys have to work harder. You don't have to say anything like this kind of polite words, just say nothing!"

"The 384 guards of the Nuergan Dusi, the three guards of the Duoyan, the four Jurchen tribes, and several major tribe leaders have passed Shanhaiguan. The reason given is that they originally planned to arrive in the capital before the New Year, but the road was delayed because the heavy snow was blocked. It is estimated that they will enter Beijing in two more days."

"Send tribute?" Bai Minghe asked.

"It's nominally, but..." Shu Liang was prepared and took out a record of Daming himself.

Bai Minghe looked around, and Shu Liang also introduced him.

Since Emperor Yongle, the management of Liaodong became increasingly loose because it did not pay attention to the Liaodong. By the ninth year of Xuande (1434), the Nurgandusi of the Ninth Year of Xuande (1434), and the various garrisons were actually tribes, and they had already had their own politics. However, they were still subordinates of the Ming Dynasty.

After the Tumu Fort Incident, the Ming Dynasty was even more unattended to take care of it.

The tribes have even begun to interact with the Tatars, and the internal wars have not stopped. The Jurchen tribes have expanded southward for hundreds of miles, and the three guards of Duoyan have still become the most powerful tribe in Liaodong.

A secret file was opened in front of the white-famous crane.

The three guards of Duoyan sent elite troops to help Emperor Yongle attack Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Yongle promised many benefits, but in the end the rest was not fulfilled except for the empty title. The three guards of Duoyan continued to fight south for many years. More than ten years ago, Zhu Qizhen had just ascended the throne and had actually occupied the Daning area.

Then, immediately after the Tumu Fort Incident, they finally launched a comprehensive offensive against the Liaohe River Basin, and thus stationed in the grazing outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty as they wished.

There are three guards outside the entrance of Xifeng.

But in name, they also considered themselves as the Nurgandus of the Ming Dynasty and an official of the Ming Dynasty.

"I need to clean up!" Bai Minghe threw down this sentence after reading it.

"Sir, how should we deal with it. No matter what the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War think, the East Factory also needs its own response strategy!"

"No need to deal with it, let the Ministry of Rites receive it according to the etiquette. If they have anything that does not conform to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, let him see why there is a piece of sand outside the Guangzhou Wharf that is red."

Shu Liang received the order, and he began to arrange people to be responsible for monitoring and mobilize troops to deal with it at any time.

After the arrangement, Shu Liang asked again: "Do you want to arrange a martial arts show so that they can see the military power of the Ming Dynasty?"

This proposal is very attractive to Bai Minghe. It is a good way to warn the enemy in later generations, but this time it is different. Bai Minghe shook his head gently: "Shuliang, what do you think is the difference between the three guards of Duoyan and the thorns, and what is the difference in strategy."

Shu Liang can kill people, but he is not the general who leads troops. He can't answer this question.

Bai Minghe explained bluntly: "Whether it is Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, or Daningwei, we can transfer heavy troops to fight within two days, and there is no problem with the logistics. I don't know why the Ministry of War has not hit me in recent years, but now I want to hit him, Duoyan's three guards are like walking out to slap those naughty children. But the thorns are different. This is a real journey of thousands of miles. Just a logistics support can make the military troubles for half a year."

"What the adults mean is that if they don't accept it, they will go to their house to fight?"

"That's what I mean, and this is also one of the reasons why I dare to use money to buy them and let them send troops to the Ming Dynasty. Under Daming's nose, it is not possible to make a fuss. It is impossible to go further, but five hundred miles north of Daningwei, there is no pressure on the current logistics of the Ming Dynasty."

Five hundred miles away to Chenyang in later generations, and one thousand miles northeast to Changchun.

It can be said that Nurkandus had no pressure on the Baiminghe. A new group of Japanese people could board the ship to do things, so the Baiminghe could transport food and grass troops from the Northern Japanese Sea, and even borrow troops from North Korea to fight against the Jurchens.

The attack distance is the bottleneck that restricts the Ming Dynasty's foreign war at present.

A few days later, this group of envoys arrived in the capital and camped outside the city according to the rules. People with status lived in Yingbin Garden. The tributes presented were also rich, including precious items such as ginseng, deer antler, marten fur from Liaodong.

According to the rules, they still need to make an appointment to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and have to wait for a day.

There are trade routes at Xifengkou. In the past two years, there are more and more goods, which are so numerous that these half-savages are dazzling. They also make them feel that they are very poor. The thermos that can keep warm for a day are sky-high prices. Three complete white marten furs can barely be replaced with a pair of stainless steel shells.

In the past, such exquisite pure white and complete ferret fur can be exchanged for at least forty stones of grain per piece.

The purchase price of deer skin has risen, from the original four cents and two cents of silver per piece to four cents and six cents of silver, and the price of a thousand geese feathers has also risen to three cents and seven cents of silver, while the carved feathers directly offer one tael five cents and one hundred pieces.

There was a thermos with a stainless steel shell in the VIP room in Yingbinyuan, which made these half-savages exclaim for a long time.

After resting for half a day, these people also had official positions in the Ming Dynasty. After all, the name of Dushiwei was not Bai An, so the first person they wanted to visit was Yu Qian, the Minister of War.

Yu Qian met these people in his main hall.

Fame is made.

Although these half-savages dared to use weapons to the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian was also very respectful when he saw it.

After a few polite things, the Yehenara clan leader from the Haixi Jurchen suddenly mentioned something that made Yu Qian want to kill. Because the patriarch said: "There are rivers near our Haixi and Li's Goryeo. Although there are not many people living there, I know that there are many ships passing by there every day."

Yu Qian's first reaction was that the Jurchens were talking about the transportation river in the Maoshan mining area.

Although it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, it is actually the area controlled by the Jurchens.

"So, what?" Yu Qian asked with a smile.

"There are some bandits there. The warriors of our tribe have led their troops to clear them out. They also restricted their tribe members to protect the river channel, and even prevented the loose stones on both sides of the river, or some broken branches, because the ships sailing on the river channel were flags of the Ming Dynasty."

Yu Qian was very angry because these words were a disguised threat.
