Chapter Two Little People

Bayin Zuoling was one of the several Zuolings kidnapped by Bayintaiji, and Bayin was also Bayin's brother-in-law, but Akdun found out the origin of Uliji and didn't want to kill him anymore. Although the two of them were no longer a Zuoling, perhaps Uliji really knew the whereabouts of his family.

"Who are you waiting for here? How many of them are there?" Akdun asked viciously.

Wu Liji answered honestly: "What I have to wait for is Chief Luo of the Investigation Squadron, and Brother Kule, the leader of the Mongolian soldiers in our team. Two days ago, the slave followed the brigade and fell asleep accidentally. According to the agreement, everyone will gather here in three days."

The two looked at each other and felt that Wu Liji was a timid child, unlike a person who could lie. He just eavesdropped on him and was also disappointed. He immediately felt relieved and Agui cursed: "Han Gou killed all the men of Korqin? Let you, the child, be a slave!"

Wu Liji said: "I am already fifteen years old and cannot be a regular soldier. I can only receive the salary of the auxiliary soldiers. Brother Kule saw that my family had a large population and I could speak some Chinese, so I asked me to come and serve Chief Luo..."

Akdun knew that the brigade that retreated north was followed by several cavalry teams of the Eastern Band people. He also personally saw two of them, which were of different sizes, and they all came from Liaodong. He knew that Liaodong had been captured. During this period, he saw too many Manchu nobles who fled from the capital to the north of the desert. He thought that those Eastern Band soldiers must have entered the grassland along the Liao River and intercepted the Manchus to escape.

"Wuliji, since the Han people are gone to see you, why do you still have to come to this agreed place? If you have three horses, you will definitely be able to escape from the north." Akdun asked.

Wu Liji: "Where do you escape?"

"Of course, I'm going to Mobei to find our Taiji people in Korqin, and report the situation of the Eastern Band to them. I will definitely be highly rewarded." A Gui replied.

Wu Liji shook his head: "I won't go, I'll find it, and I'll still be a slave. It's better to be in Shenyang, at least I can eat and wear warmly. When I'm sixteen, I can join the army. Once I become a soldier, I'll be a specialist (free civilian). Once I make a contribution, I can be a slave. I don't want to be a slave under Taiji."

"Aren't you slaves in the Han people, dogs!" Agui asked angrily: "It seems that Bayintaiji not only deceived you from Korqin, but also sold your heart to the damn Han people."

Wuliji said: "No, of course not. I was originally a slave, but now I have been liberated. We were not deceived. We led the army of Bayintaiji to graze in the Liaohe area. Last September, it was Bayintaiji who led the New Dynasties army to drive away Taiji and Zasak who bullied us and rescued us."

Akdun and Agui were shocked when they heard this. Of course, it was not just because of Wuliji's brainwashed words, but because the seven sects were taken away, not cheated. The news they got from the Taiji people was that Bayin Taiji had deceived those sects. Only by establishing merits could they not blame their families who went to the East Fen Land in the future. The two also understood that if the Taiji people told them that their families were abducted, the soldiers would definitely ask for rescue. How could they follow the brigade to the north of the Mobei?

After understanding this, neither Akdun nor Agui knew who to hate.

"Are you Tarsga now? Bayin's Tarsga?" The two calmed down, sat in front of Uliji, and asked. Tarsgasga is also a free citizen, but the free citizen who belongs to princes and nobles is very different from Ha Rich, who can be promoted, and is one level lower.

Uliji shook his head quickly: "Bantaiji has been assigned to the appeasement zone and has only taken away his family and Haris, and we, Das, did not follow him."

"Then do you belong to Bayintaiji?" Agui seemed to figure it out.

"No, Bayintaiji became a governor and went to Shandong, including us as the direct subordinate of the Xin Dynasty. We no longer belong to any master, but only to the Xin Dynasty. Brother Kule was our leader. There were no slaves in the direct subordinate of the subordinate. People like me have become free people. The original property of the free people was protected, and the property of the original masters was distributed to us like the newly liberated people." Wu Liji said, it was not difficult to see that he had both glory and pride on his face.

When Akdun heard this, he suddenly grabbed Uliji and asked excitedly: "What about our Zuo Ling? Our Zuo Ling is Master Hatch."

Wu Liji had long heard that these two were from Korqin, but he never thought it was a flag. He said, "Haqi's subordinate is also a direct subordinate. He is placed around Shenyang with us. In the area of ​​Dashiqiao to the north of us, there are people from your subordinates in our cavalry team... Ahem, you will let go, you will be strangled to death..."

Akdun breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was sure that his family was still alive, Akdun asked, "Wuliji, my brother Akdun and I are both Ha Risky. Have the Han people punished us?"

Ha Risky was a class that had the power to be an official, otherwise Akdun would not be the leader. Wu Liji said: "All Taiji nobles were registered as slaves, but Ha Risky did not, but they were not distributed to them by animals and tents. Moreover, Ha Risky was controlled, saying that only by figuring out where the strong men in their families would be completely free."

After hearing this, Akdun shouted excitedly and hugged Agui: "That's great, Agui, my Jiuniang is still alive, they are still alive, and they have not become slaves, and have not been given to other masters."

Wu Liji keenly captured the name Jiu Niang, and a hard-working back flashed through his head and asked, "Master Akdun, is Jiu Niang you mentioned a Han woman in her twenties? Her forehead is marked by the Daerhan family. By the way, she has several children, a girl younger than me is called Saren, is it him?"

Akdun couldn't control himself completely and held Wu Liji's hand: "Have you seen them? You must have seen them, otherwise I wouldn't know so much!"

Wu Liji nodded: "I have seen it many times. In the laundry room of Tianshui Hutong in Shenyang, Saren and Jiuniang were washing clothes. Jiuniang’s needlework was very good, and many people asked her to sew clothes."

"Laundry room, did she become a slave? Didn't you say that Ha Sunrisete won't be a slave?" Akdon was angry.

Wu Liji shook his head and quickly explained: "It's not a slave, but a servant. We were taken from Korqin to Liaodong. The master and the nobles' cattle and sheep tents were distributed to us. They were placed near the Han village with Harichite. The heads of the Military Control Commission asked us to go up the mountain to chop firewood and burn part of the firewood for the Han people. The Han people exchanged the corn stalks piled around the house for us as forage. The strong men dig ditches, build roads, and feed horses for the court, and exchanged food and cotton clothes. Because of the grace of the New Dynasty, we survived this cold winter and retained most of the cattle and sheep.

But most of your cattle and sheep were lost when you moved, and your family had no men. Not only did you have men, but only Jiu Niang was an adult woman. The rest were children. They could not feed cattle and sheep, nor could they cut firewood and do their hard work. There were many such herdsmen. The superiors could only gather them to Chenyang to wash clothes, cook, and boil water. The court gave food and clothing. But your woman Jiu Niang was very smart. She had a good craftsmanship, and Saren would do it. So he went out to open a store alone to wash clothes for the army's Tianbing, and paid according to the number of pieces. I sent clothes to the commanders of the cavalry team to her to wash clothes. It was what Saren told me.

I also saw your eldest son carrying carbonite in the laundry room, while your two youngest sons boil water and carry pots. I have seen it many times."

"Are you saying true? Is it true?" Akdun's eyes were filled with tears.

Wu Liji nodded: "I can swear to Changshengtian that if I have a lie, I will go to hell after death, but... I have heard of other things."

Seeing Akdun interested, Wuliji said, "Your woman is a Han Chinese, she can sew clothes and write, but she has four children on her own. Many people advised her to remarry, especially those Mongolian nobles who joined the new dynasty, who want to marry Jiu Niang. It is said that even Bayintaiji has this idea, but no one is willing to raise your four children. I heard that as long as Jiu Niang gives three children to others and only takes her own biological one, Bayintaiji will marry her, but she was rejected by Jiu Niang and she does not want to abandon your child."

Akdun couldn't help but believe this. The Mongolians were not Han people. The Han people valued women's chastity very much. Mongolians did not pay attention to this. On the contrary, Mongolians liked to marry women who had children. After all, the grassland environment was harsh. Women who had children not only proved their fertility, but also represented a strong body. For the Mongolians who surrendered, being able to marry someone who could speak Chinese and write Chinese characters was very important for them to integrate into the new dynasty. Although the Mongolians did not resist taking over other people's children, there were too many four children.

"My Jiu Niang will not abandon me." Akdun said gritting his teeth, but it was more like cheering himself up.

Wu Liji said, "Who knows that even if she is skillful, she can only make a living with four children. Moreover, the army in Chenyang will not be able to fight north by summer and autumn. Without the army, who will she do for washing clothes for? When she can't survive, women have to find a way out. At that time, Changshengtian couldn't say what she would choose."

Akdun looked full of conflict. Because the Manchu powerful men suddenly retreated from the north of the capital, the Dongfan soldiers from Liaodong sent cavalry out of the frontier to pursue him. I believe that the infantry would also follow soon. At that time, would Jiuniang and the others still have a livelihood? Perhaps it would not be that day, they might die in this war. Even if they didn't die, they might be known to the Dongfan. At that time, would they still treat their wives and children well?

But Wu Liji looked at Akdun's expression changes carefully. He had never been fortunate to have such a mouth. In fact, since childhood, both parents and friends said that he was a crow's mouth, and he warned himself over and over again that he would lose his words. But today, Wu Liji felt that his mouth was still very useful. He continued: "Brother Akdun, you think that if you don't go back, Jiu Niang will remarry if she loses her livelihood, and she will remarry if you die. The worst thing is that you are captured, your family will suffer with you, and at least be demoted to a slave. If you really do your best for your family, it is better to join the new dynasty with me. With your good martial arts, you can at least continue to serve in the army and ensure a safe family life. If you make contributions, it is not impossible to get promoted or make a fortune."

Agui exchanged glances with Akdun. When Wu Liji thought they were moved, Agui suddenly drew his sword and pressed it against Wu Liji's heart, and said angrily: "You liar, are you going to deceive our brothers in the head to receive the reward?"

Wu Liji was shocked and said, "Whoever is so evil will not die well. I, Wu Liji, have no such thoughts." While swearing, his head turned rapidly and said, "Brother Agui, think how much your heads are worth? You two are scouts of the palace. You must have some knowledge of the whereabouts of the Manchus. This is more valuable."

Agui was just scaring Wu Liji. As Wu Liji said, both of them were in Liaodong, and their family was treated well at this moment. The most important thing was that Dongfan didn't know what he was doing in the Qing Dynasty. Once he knew, it would be impossible to be so kind anymore. It would be just a death. It would be better to join Dongfan, and at least he could save his life for his family and not become a slave.

Akdun took off the knife from Agui's hand, patted Wu Liji on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Brother Wu Liji, can people like me be promoted and made a fortune in the New Dynasty army?"

Wu Liji said: "Our master is now a direct subordinate. Without the rules before, the masters have been liquidated. As long as the men in the master are there, no matter what the leader is, they can also get official positions such as the master, the governor, and the Zhasak. All the brothers in the master's master's master depend on military merits, not to mention whether they are golden blood."

Akdun clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wuliji, I have offended you just now. Thank you for your advice. I also asked you to help me introduce you to the superior. I am willing to make meritorious service."

Agui also smiled and said, "Yes, I know the river crossing points of seven tribes including Manchuria, Korqin, Chahar. Please help introduce them and we will be rewarded together!"

Wu Liji was completely relieved. While glad that he had a perfect tongue, he was glad that he had luck. He was blessed by immortality and met two families who had already arrived in Liaodong. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't know what the result would be.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wu Liji rubbed his hands, laughed twice, and said, "Two brothers, only the same. When I see Chief Luo, don't say you have captured me."

Akdun and Agui smiled at each other. Being captured in any army is not a glorious thing, especially when they are a foreigner and under the command of the Han people, Akdun promised: "Don't worry, I just fell into your trap. In order to save me, my brother Agui confronted you, talked and listened to your persuasion, and decided to surrender."

Wu Liji nodded. This was a good statement. Agui said: "I will help you cover up and I think it will be good for you, but we also have a request. If the heaven of Changsheng will not protect me, I will be killed by the Han people. I think the Han people will remember you. If you really borrow my head and become successful, please take care of my family. I just heard you talk about the affairs of Jiu Niang’s sister-in-law and Saren. Your eyes shine. If there is really that time, you should marry Saren."

Wu Liji couldn't help but blush. He often went to the laundry room to deliver clothes, and a large part of the reason was that he wanted to see Saren.
