Chapter 572 Young Master, I am the second grandmother!
At the New Year's Eve reunion dinner in the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, Jia Liu ate very poorly.
Because, a smokeless civil war is going on in his back house.
The two sides in the civil war were the Manchus Ruxiu and the Han Yuanyuan.
The main reason for this is Yuanyuan, because she refused to bow to Ruxiu.
In addition to the centuries-old blood feud between the Gu family and Manchuria, it is also because Ruxiu is a descendant of the Manchurian butcher Duduo.
According to the official historical data of the Qing Dynasty, this Duduo was primarily responsible for the collective massacres in as many as thirty-seven cities. In other words, this Prince of Yu probably ordered the killing of about 10 million Han people in his lifetime.
For five thousand years, conferring the title of Murderer King on Duduo is definitely not excessive.
Many people attributed the collective massacre of the Han people in the early Qing Dynasty to the Ming army's surrender and looting, and deliberately obscured the Manchu Taijun who really gave the orders, either by hiding it, or using various excuses, and scolding you for destroying unity when you tell the truth.
Humanoid is a typical historical nihilism.
History, where it is, why can't it be told?
If history cannot be told, then why should history be used?
It’s not a good idea to just pass one generation after another and ignore the bullshit of the previous administration.
In this way, there will be no subjugation of the country, no subjugation of the world, and no shame.
Humanity, Datong.
The Duduo Massacre was so famous that people couldn't help but give birth to a Han who would rather die under Lord Beile's sword and become a ghost than live as a pig or a dog.
After Jia Liu's old man surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Huai'an, he followed Duduo and massacred many cities. Later, because of his uneasy conscience, he continued to donate money to build academies in his later years, encourage people to study, restore culture and education, and pay attention to government administration to benefit the people.
He was highly praised by Kangxi, so he was listed in the "Jia Biography of Erchen Biography" and became a famous first-class traitor.
This is the reason why Jia Liu was so filial to the old man.
Regardless of history or reality, Jia Liu can also understand Yuanyuan's hostility to Ruxiu.
Compared with him, a fourth-generation traitor, Yuanyuan's hatred for the Qing court was truly unforgettable.
When the girl was six years old, she witnessed her mother being burned alive by the Qing soldiers who raided her home;
When he was thirteen years old, he watched his sister and brother-in-law jump off the cliff while holding their twins;
When I was fifteen years old, I suppressed my tears and watched silently as my cousins fought to the last moment with the pursuing Qing soldiers in order to protect the relocated tribesmen.
Many nights, she would wake up from nightmares.
It can be said that Yuanyuan is the epitome of the Ming Dynasty survivors in Jinchuan. At a young age, she not only endured the undue hatred of her family and country, but also became a staunch anti-Qing Han guerrilla fighter in constant battles.
There is no girl who doesn’t love red makeup and weapons at a young age.
There is only one reason for a girl to choose to be armed, and that is that she has no choice.
Either be humiliated to death by the Qing soldiers, or fight to the death.
From the moment this girl was born, it was destined that there would be no peace between her and the Manchu invaders.
Because hatred is not one generation, but several generations.
Ruxiu, who has lived in the prince's palace since she was a child, will never be able to understand the suffering that Yuanyuan has endured.
In fact, Ruxiu didn't even know who the thieves mentioned by the court were.
Even if they knew it, they wouldn't have any sympathy. Instead, they would say in disgust: "These damn traitors!"
This is a class issue caused by one's origin and position.
If he had not visited Jinchuan in person, Jia Liu would have mistakenly thought that the bandits there were really from the plateau. It was not until he was in Chongzhou City that he realized that there were fake Han people in the world.
A very ironic statement.
Of course, under the influence of Jia Liu, although Yuanyuan was hostile to Ruxiu, she was definitely not the type to fight to the death with swords or guns as soon as they met. She just did not want to "succumb" to Ruxiu's Manchu style.
Because this is a shame for Yuanyuan.
In fact, she never considered herself inferior to this Manchurian.
In her memory of growing up, the Qing Dynasty was never the motherland, but the enemy.
Ming Dynasty is her motherland.
As long as Xiaojinchuan does not fall for a day, Ming Dynasty will be there.
There will be no inequality between the two countries just because the Qing Dynasty occupies all the land in China, while the Ming Dynasty only has one county the size of a palm, and only a few thousand soldiers and civilians persist.
If we want inequality, the Qing army must kill us.
However, not only did the Qing army not defeat the Ming Dynasty, but the flag of the Ming Dynasty was flying in more places.
This is the analysis Jia Liu once made on Fan Wei and Shuan Zhu.
Now, who are his strongest supporters?
It was not the Xinwangfu behind Ruxiu, but Chunhua's Ama, Bo Qing'e, the governor of Sichuan, and Yuanyuan's father, Gu Zhengdao, the commander of the Xinghan Army.
Yuanyuan obviously also knew that she was helpful to her husband Jia Liu, and she gave birth to her husband's eldest son who could inherit his career, so she was even more unwilling to bow to Manchu's personality.
But Yuanyuan didn't want Ruxiu to bow down to her, a Han woman, she just wanted to be treated equally.
Even if two people live under the same roof, it doesn't matter if they don't see each other.
Here in Ruxiu, although it is agreed to let the concubine that the husband keeps outside the house, there are still rules in the homes of ordinary bannermen, not to mention the princess family of her hereditary hat king.
Therefore, no matter what, Yuanyuan, a Han Chinese "concubine", must serve tea and water to her mistress, even if it is just a pretense, saying "Hail" or "good luck", in short, she must be treated with etiquette.
The matron showed absolute obedience.
Wife means wife, concubine means concubine.
In terms of etiquette, concubines are not considered members of the Jia family. Even the son born by Yuanyuan must be called Ruxiu, but not Yuanyuan.
If Ruxiu was more vicious, there would be no problem in directly depriving Yuanyuan of her son's custody rights.
Jia Liu suspected that his brother-in-law's wife, the girl from the Fucha family whom he had deprived of his children and grandchildren, might have taught his sister-in-law to do this.
Otherwise Ruxiu would not be so determined.
My brother-in-law Chunying probably can't do it, after all, they are all men.
The problem is before us.
It was useless for Daquan, the father-in-law, to come over to persuade her, and it was useless for her eldest sister Jia Juan to come over to persuade her. Anyway, neither Zhexiu nor Yuanyuan were willing to back down.
Zhao Jinzhong, the steward assigned to the Jia family by Prince Xin's palace, was ready to lead his men to tie up the concubine whom the concubine had kept privately outside, and slap her on the face several times to teach her some rules.
But before Manager Zhao could take action, Shuan Zhu gave him a cold look: "Don't get involved in the master's affairs, otherwise you won't even know what happened to your head."
Shuan Zhu had never killed anyone, but when he suddenly said a threatening word, his aura was not something that a wrapper could withstand.
"If it doesn't work out, just be equal."
Fan Wei gave a solution.
"Pingqiu" is a term used in the past for women married by merchants doing business abroad, and their actual legal status is still concubine.
However, in the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, in order to adapt to the "concurrent marriage system" and the title of another wife, the Ministry of Punishment stipulated that the relationship between the common wife and the first wife was equivalent to that of a sister-in-law.
That is to say, the status of a common wife is actually not as good as that of a regular wife, but it is higher than that of a concubine, and she has a certain say in the family.
"It's equal, both of them are wives, and both sides are the same size."
Shuan Zhu supported Yuanyuan. In order to get the young master to accept his opinion, he specially pulled Dalin over: "Master, Dalin also means the same thing."
