The Liao Kingdom is in a turmoil now, with strong enemies outside and thieves inside. If it weren't for the loyal ministers like Ma Wan Ho and trying to maintain them, the country would have fallen apart long ago!

The "Bohai slaves" mentioned by Ma Dazhong are the main force of thieves in the southern part of the Great Liao Dynasty.

The Liao Kingdom was a first-class Khitan, a second-class Han, a third-class Bohai, a fourth-class female Zhi, and a fifth-class Shubu. Although the female Zhi and Shubu were not nominally as good as the Bohai, most of the female Zhi and Shubu people were bitches that the Khitans and Han tribes could not be oppressed. Therefore, the third-class Bohai became the de facto lowest untouchable in the Liao Kingdom.

Moreover, when the Khitans destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai Kingdom, in order to incite war, they claimed that the Bohai people were Khitan people's feud. It was probably during the Tang Dynasty and Wuzhou that the Bohai Kingdom participated in the anti-Khitan alliance of the Tang Dynasty. But the Han people should have the lead in this matter. Somehow they hated the Bohai people? In short, it was an excuse similar to the later seven major hatreds and eight major hatreds.

After talking about the excuse for a long time, it seemed that there was a real grudge. So after the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Sea, the status of the Bohai people was particularly low. Even the six Bohai right surnames could not be compared with the Han Yan tribes. Although they could also be officials, they had basically no share in the lack of oil and water.

In addition, after the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, the Khitans adopted a policy of forced migration against the Bohai people, migrating millions of people to western Liaoning and Liaodong, and some were distributed to the Khitan and Xi tribes as slaves. In history, the Bohai Kingdom was originally a country with a high degree of sinicization and relatively developed handicrafts and agriculture. After the destruction of the Bohai Sea, almost all the craftsmen in the Bohai Sea became Khitan slave workers, the Khitan palace tents, tribes, and the handicraftsmen under the Five Beijings Craftsmen controlled by the Han people, and there were a large number of Bohai craftsmen in the handicraftsmen.

Unlike the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, the craftsmen of the Liao Kingdom were truly "last jobs", and most of them were slave workers in government offices and tribal workshops, and their lives were extremely miserable.

The Bohai farmers' lives are also difficult. They are not only slaves to the Khitans, but also slaves to the right surnames of the Bohai Sea. They basically cannot have their own land. In addition to the majority of the harvest, they have to pay rent and taxes, they also have to bear heavy labor service.

For example, how many ships have been overturned over the past hundred years since building a city wall for the Khitans and transporting grain to Xijin Prefecture?

In addition, the Khitans also had a "head-lower military state system" that had a very heavy blow to the Bohai people. The so-called head-lower military state system is a kind of serfdom, which is to imitate the situation of the Central Plains prefectures and counties, transform the population captured by war (mainly Bohai people) into Khitan, Xi nobles and tribes.

As for the Bohai Youn surname, the Bohai Kingdom had a little preferential treatment for more than a hundred years after its demise. However, during the reign of Emperor Shengzong of Liao and Emperor Xingzong of Liao, the Tokyo Road area where the Bohai people lived began to implement the Han system. The salt and iron were sold monopoly, and various taxes were also followed by the Han area. The result was naturally a great infringement of the economic interests of the Bohai Youn surname.

It is said that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance! This formula is definitely correct when used in the Bohai people.

Since the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, various resistances have never stopped. The largest resistance occurred during the reign of Emperor Shengzong of Liao. In Liaoyang Prefecture, where the Bohai people lived, a major uprising led by Da Yanlin, a descendant of the Bohai royal family. The rebel army once made great contributions and captured Liaoyang City, Tokyo, in Shenzhou. However, they were defeated by Han general Zhang Jie in Shenzhou. At the same time, the troops of Wang Daoping, the deputy left-behind Wang Daoping and Huanglong Mansion were deployed, and Huang Pian refused to respond to Da Yanlin, which caused the Bohai people to fall into the dilemma of being attacked on three sides. After persisting for a year, they completely failed.

After this great uprising, the Bohai people completely became untouchables in the Great Liao Dynasty. The Han tribes won the trust of the Khitans through the uprising of suppressing and betraying the Bohai people... The Han people and the Bohai people also fell into mutual hostility.

The Han officials like Ma Dazhongchen, who are called "Bohai slaves" when talking about Bohai people, and the Bohai people who are behind the scenes call people like Ma Dazhongchen, "traitors"...

In the Daling River area of ​​Ma Zhi’s hometown (Yiwulu Mountain), there are also many "Bohai slaves", most of whom are craftsmen. Because the Daling River area is a major handicraft town in the Liao Dynasty, there are many official porcelain kilns and weavers, basically all "Bohai slaves" who are oppressed and often do things that undermine national unity.

As a powerful tyrant in the Daling River area, the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain often clashed with these "Bohai slaves". It can be said that their hands were covered with the blood of Bohai slaves!

The person Dabaojian is perhaps a pseudonym and an evil rebel. It is said that he is the prince of the Da clan. He is good at using the sword and has a group of loyal subordinates who specialize in killing "Khitan jackals" and "traitors". Recently, it seems that he has been to the Daling River area, so the Ma Renwang has ordered the heroes and disciples of the clan to capture the thief.

In addition to the elusive sword, Zhao Zhongge, who is now a bandit in the Yanshan area, is also a rebel who has a headache for Ma Dazhong minister. This is a Han man and a child of the Zhao family in Yanjing.

Such a family should be comfortable waiting for an official, but this person had a quarrel with his family and even pulled some people to Yanshan to be thieves.

The struggle among the aristocratic families is far more cruel than that of the Yimen and Banyimen who took the imperial examinations in the Southern Dynasties. Because the foundation of the Yimen and Banyimen is the imperial examinations, only those who can pass the examinations can be officials. The emperor only looks at the "score" but not the background.

The aristocratic families were reborn based on their ability, so they naturally had to be divided into "the elder and the young and the illegitimate evil spirits". For example, Ma Renwang, Ma Renjie and Ma Rencai are legitimate sons, while Ma Zhi is illegitimate sons. Zhao Zhongge, who went up the mountain to fight guerrillas, was a sinister son, and he was a son born by a maid... Is he also worthy of the surname Zhao?

In short, the treatment of various sons is different! And if a bowl of water is unfair, a dog bites a dog, and a person beats someone is indispensable.

However, in the eyes of Ma Renwang, Brother Zhao Zhong was named Zhao after all! His ancestors were always the traitor Zhao Yanshou and the surrendered hero Zhao Zan (the general of Kaifeng Prefecture), right? So he couldn't bear to kill him, and he still wanted to help him.

Ma Renwang's son Ma Ying was a little puzzled by his father's thoughts: "Dad, Brother Zhong is a scoundrel, what should I keep him?"

Ma Ren looked back and glared at his son: "The world is going to be in chaos! Can there be a second hero like Brother Zhong in the Yansi family? If our Yansi family wants to make a difference in the future, he still needs to charge in the battle... The old teacher of the Zhao family is also confused. Isn't it just a concubine's title? Isn't it just for him?"

It turns out that this evil son of the Zhao family is still a warrior who can charge forward!

"It's really going to be messy?" Ma Ying asked with some concern.

The horse man nodded, "The chaos must be chaos, so I don't know when it started chaos. Now the turmoil has been chaos, and the female is preparing to cause chaos, and the Bohai slaves are thieves! Even the Han people from the Southern Dynasty have also come to cause chaos..."

...

"The Bohai Sea is full of millions of slaves, working day and night without food and clothing, and looking at the sky falling; the sea is prosperous, with a beautiful country of three thousand miles, men farming and women weaving their families, as if they were in a dream..."

The sad and melodious song came into Wu Haogu's ears. At this time, he was riding on a sea boat driven by long oars and hard sails, winding northward, stirring up white waves on the Sanggan River waterway leading to Xijinfucheng.

The singer is the coolie who is sweating and paddling with the rain, and is singing in a language that Wu Haogu cannot understand.

On both sides of the Sanggan River, there is a picture-like green field at this time.

Wu Haogu did not stay at the Qingzhou Quotation Field for a long time. The next morning, he boarded a Liao ship from Liaodong, which was the sailing boat about ten feet long.

The sea boats were filled with grain, and they were transported from Suzhou in Liaodong to Xijin Prefecture. Ma Zhi told Wu Haogu that Xijin Prefecture City was the largest city in Liao Kingdom with more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000 people, so grain supply has always been a problem. Since the era of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, it has to rely on Liaodong's grain supply.

The grain in Liaodong is transported entirely to Xijin Prefecture. However, the ships that undertake the maritime transportation task are not merchant ships, but a heavy labor service. The Liao Kingdom has no "Employment Law" or sea merchants. Even if there are maritime merchants, they are ships from the four Yan families, who dares to requisition? Therefore, the method to transport the grain from Liaodong to Xijin Prefecture is to requisition the Bohai people to log and build ships, and then transport grain by boat.

If you drown, those who are exhausted will be miserable, and those who survive will be lucky!

The ship that Wu Haogu is currently riding is the grain transport ship controlled by the transfer judge of the Tokyo Ministry of Revenue Department. The transfer judge is naturally also surnamed Ma, and belongs to the herniation. There are also several Ma family servants on the ship who are escorting the boat and bow, all of whom are carrying whips with their waists and whips, urging Bohai slaves to row hard with their fierce spirit.

When I heard Bohainu chanting miserably, I immediately burst into fur like a cat with a trampled tail.

"No singing!"

"Damn Bohai slaves, I will kill anyone who dares to sing again!"

"Smack it..."

At this time, Wu Haogu stood on the platform at the top of the cabin, and looked at the scenery with Ximen Qing, who had changed into Khitan women's clothing, and talked about his life ideals.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the underworld and asked strangely: "What's going on? What are the people in Bohai Sea singing?"

Ximen Qing knows a little Bohai dialect, but in fact she just doesn’t understand, and she also knows what Bohai people are singing?

"They are singing "Bohai Slave", which is the anti-song written by the Great Sword of the Bohai Sea."

Reverse song? Is it a reactionary song?

Wu Haogu frowned and asked, "Is the relationship between the Han people and the Bohai people in Liao Kingdom good?"

In later generations, he heard that the Bohai people had a relatively high degree of sinicization and was "same as the Han system" in the Liao Kingdom, so he took it for granted that the Bohai Han people were as close as a family.

But now he found that although the clothes of Bohai people and Han people were similar, the difference was that Bohai men had a braid and were a bit similar to those of Qing Dynasty men, but they were not exactly the same. They only had braids and did not shave their hair, but their relationship did not look very good.
