Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    One month after arriving in Puzhou, Agui, whose pseudonym is Zhang Cheng, finally obtained the "Manchurian Certificate for Convicted Crime and Meritorious Service", moved out of the closed residential area near the prison, and bought a farm to recuperate here.

    In addition to changing their surnames to Chinese, Manchu men and women over fifteen and under sixty must perform compulsory labor for one month every year for ten years. At the same time, they must regularly participate in lectures on the righteousness of heaven and man organized by grassroots offices to repent and reform.  Their deeds must also be reported to the public office, and they are not allowed to establish or participate in companies, trade stocks or futures within ten years, and purchase real estate or housing that exceeds specified standards.  Those over seventy years old were divided between men and women in the family, and those under fifteen were not involved. However, Manchus were not allowed to set up their own schools and had to attend public elementary schools.

    This is the collective punishment of the Manchu ethnic group by the Grand Court, while Manchu officials, generals, and nobles above the level of bannermen and commanders must be tried separately in separate cases.  The trial of the Manchus in the Grand Court lasted for nearly twenty years, and there were a lot of documents. Only then did they clear up the rebellion cases during the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods. Only a small part of the Tuanjie Boxing cases during the Daoguang period were concluded, and counting the Manchus who entered the Central Plains from the Qing Dynasty who have been looking back.  The so-called "hundred-year trial" is really not an empty phrase.

    The collective punishment that every adult Manchu must bear is not rigid. Not only are Manchus given various choices based on their own strengths, but various localities will also list alternative options based on local needs.

    Those who are good at equestrian skills can work as coachmen and postmen, and those who are literate can work as clerical clerks for the government. Even Manchus who understand Manchu can join the National History Museum to help organize old Manchu documents. Women tend to work in medical and charity undertakings.  , these jobs can be used as labor.  There are also some subsidies.  Although the income cannot be compared with that of a "regular worker", it is still better than one month a year spent by men breaking bricks and stones.  Roads and bridges are being built, and women doing laundry, cooking and serving people have become more dignified.  In Liaodong, many Manchus voluntarily accepted the deportation.  Act as a guide and toothman, assisting the escort agency and the military in exploring the terrain and people in the deep mountains and forests.

    There are also many Manchus in Dongzhou, where all kinds of businesses are waiting to be prospered. The local policy of using these people is more inclined to use their own talents.  Agui chose to be a tutor in elementary school, that is, a master who did not enjoy the treatment of a master.  Of course, Meng Xue will closely monitor his teaching and will never allow him to take the opportunity to preach things like the "Kangxi Holy Instructions" like some corrupt Confucian masters in the north.

    Agui's three wives and concubines entered the nursery, and his two sons joined the volunteers as auxiliary soldiers.  The youngest daughter has entered elementary school, and it seems that the whole family is under strict control of the government. Agui still has to teach for nine days every ten days, go to the Manchu Affairs Office of the township office once a month to report her arrival, and participate in a Manchu self-control once a quarter.  For the new information conference, you can look at the acre of land and the three courtyards of your home, and the fact that the whole family can gather together every day.  The villagers and neighbors also interacted with each other warmly, and there was no hatred or contempt. Agui felt a sense of relief.

    As Fan Pugui said, Dongzhou had no interest in digging into the background of the Manchus and only acted in accordance with the French language prevailing in the Grand Court.  The origin of Agui's fabrication has been recorded in the registration file.  Unless someone traces all the way from Jianzhou North Korea to South Korea, and then across the ocean to Dongzhou, or he tells the truth himself, no one will believe that the general of the armed guards who rejuvenated the Qing Dynasty, the last Manchu hero, had no power in Jianzhou North Korea.  He died in the battle and escaped to the hidden world of Dongzhou.

    ¡°Then again, even if Agui revealed his identity, no one would believe it.  When Fan Pugui took him in, he never thought about this possibility.

    August is approaching, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is scorching.  After the elementary school class, Agui led her seven-year-old daughter out of the school building and prepared to go home.  His home is located in Bailang Township, thirty miles south of Puzhou City. There are about three hundred farmers in the township, and each family is a farm owner with one or two hectares of land.  The road leading to Puzhou City from the countryside has become a gathering place for villagers. Merchants from Puzhou City purchase farm crops and livestock here. Some family members and small businessmen set up stalls to sell general merchandise and sundries. The township office and elementary school  , Tianmiao and other facilities are also here, forming a small town mixed with tranquility and excitement.

    Because of the name of the township, this place is called Bailangji.  The name White Wolf also comes from the fact that there were wolves here in the past, and a litter of white wolf cubs was found in the wolf den at the foot of the hillside in the center of the gathering.  Now the white wolf is retiring in the Tiger and Leopard House in Puzhou, and a temple has been built on the hillside where the wolf's den is located.

    Agui¡¯s home is ten miles west of Bailangji, with a mountain at its back. Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the endless sea, which makes Agui¡¯s family very satisfied.  The old owner of this farm got a share of the gold mine, moved to the east of Puzhou Bay, and opened another farm of more than ten hectares. It was neglected and was sold for a "high price" of eighty taels, including the land and the house.  I gave it to Agui, who was so shocked that she thought she had met a liar.

    Eighty taels Let alone buying a hectare of land in the mainland, if you can buy one of the three courtyards, it is a bargain.  The rural businessman who passed the lease was saying that this was the most expensive property in Bailang Township. Just one hectare of land, even if it was mature, would only be sold for less than 30 taels. Only then did Agui understand what Fan Pugui said to him: "People  The most expensive, the land is the cheapest." What is the situation?

    Ten miles away from home, of course Agui wouldn¡¯t be able to walkThe gathered dragons and snakes are all inhuman beings who only know profit but not justice.  We in Dongzhou can be regarded as harboring filth and evil practices. We have everyone, but they are all heroes with great ambitions. They have the righteousness of heaven and man in their heads, and they work hard to expand the soil and make great achievements. How can we not be spirited?  "

    Then he whispered: "Some people have quite a high background. It is said that Kangxi's seventeenth elder brother was worshiped in the temple here. The law ministers have a headache. I wonder if they should strictly investigate the origins of the Manchus in accordance with the "Order to Request Manchus"  ¡­¡±

    Zhuang Zaiyi waved his hand to stop: "As long as it is not exposed openly, you don't need to delve into these things in Dongzhou. Judging the Manchus is a century-old undertaking and a heart-breaking matter. It doesn't matter if some Manchus are allowed to make contributions here. When I come  His Majesty explained that Dongzhou is the place of the future, and we should look forward as much as possible. Now is the time of great conflict in the world, and we should take advantage of this opportunity to create a new soul of China."

    Fan Liuxi breathed a sigh of relief. He was trying to test his words. In his heart, it was the right time for Dongzhou to employ people. Even the Manchus in the past would be a help as long as they could be used by Dongzhou.  What he was worried about was that the imperial court would strictly control these Manchus. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he also knew that many Manchus fled from Jianzhou North Korea and came here. They turned Manchu into Han and were becoming Dongzhou people.

    Now that Zhuang Zaiyi said this, he felt at ease. Zhuang Zaiyi continued: "In the great war in the world, even the Li people have to integrate into our country and accept our righteousness. How could the Manchus stay out of it?  Those national crimes will be temporarily put aside. After we have established a new pattern, we can look back on the past without us pursuing them. The sinners will repent on their own."

    Thinking of his mixed-race son, Fan Liuxi also nodded with sadness: "That's right, with the Hundred Years' Trial of the Great Court to punish our hearts, we don't have to continue to dwell on the old world, but focus on the new world."

    Zhuang Zaiyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I am not here to guard the frontier this time. I want to expand the territory thousands of miles. Can you Dongzhou support it?"

    Fan Liuxi laughed: "Ten thousand miles? In Dongzhou, ten thousand miles is nothing. General Zhuang, if you don't expand a million miles, the people of Dongzhou will spit on you"

    Zhuang Zaiyi was stunned, and after a long while he smiled and sighed: "Yes, thousands of miles is really not a big achievement. General Jia can conquer Tianzhu in one go, which is tens of millions of miles. General Wu did the same in the Western Regions."  One battle will determine a country, I am really too small-minded."

    The two of them laughed at the same time, their laughter reaching into the clouds, blending with the heroic laughter of heroic men from all over the world.
