Under India's caste system, the worst offenders are Dalits. They are the untouchables among the untouchables and will never be able to turn around in their lifetime.
Brahmins are the first caste, and these people are monks and nobles who are in charge of India's religion. The children of these people are destined to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives as soon as they are born, and they are destined to enjoy supreme power.
Kshatriyas are the second caste, military and political aristocrats, responsible for governing the secular world. Although the background of Kshatriyas is not comparable to that of Brahmins, they are still in power in India and enjoy rights.
Vaishyas are people engaged in industry and commerce, and Shudras are servants and craftsmen.
Whether they are Vaisyas or craftsmen, although they are all being exploited, and although they are at the bottom, they still have some human rights.
However, Dalits are the worst off.
Without any human rights, they are treated as untouchables among untouchables and considered to be the filthiest people at heart.
Adat is such a person.
After he was born, his life was obscure and dull. Whatever needs to be built in the village, he must be involved. When it comes time to pay taxes, he pays more. When something is to be done, he must do more.
However, he cannot live with the people in the village. He can only live in the wilderness. He doesn't even have his own house, just a thatched shack.
He is hardworking and he is not afraid of hardship, but no matter how diligent and hard he works, he cannot change his life. Moreover, when he harvests food, other people can come and take some of it openly and bully him openly.
Adat has lived for twenty years and has endured an excessively hard life all his life. Even though Adat is only twenty years old, he already looks like a forty-year-old, already hunched over.
This time Tianzhu entered the Western Region to fight, and Adat was the one recruited.
One command and he came.
Fortunately, he didn't have any wealth at all, so he came as soon as he came. But when he got to the army, he would be bullied and isolated because he was the meanest and filthiest Dalit.
When Adat arrived in the Western Region, everything went smoothly because he did not participate in the war.
That is to say, when King Chaori collapsed, Adat fled with him and was killed at that time. Fortunately, Adat knew that he could not stop him. As soon as he encountered the Ming army soldiers, he knelt on the ground and surrendered, saving his life.
After being escorted back, all the more than 60,000 Tianzhu people were detained together.
Adat was also provided with food in the army.
The food served late at night was not very good. It was just rice soaked in broth with a little bit of meat residue in it. Although it is the most common food, soup and rice, in Adat's eyes, they are all delicious.
All the food he had eaten in his life was cold, hard, or sour, and he ate it without any taboos.
However, I have never eaten white rice like this.
The clean white rice looks like a woman's skin, with an alluring luster. There was a trace of oil floating on the soup surface, and he took a gentle sip, which made him feel like his soul was out of body.
It was the best food he had ever eaten in his life.
When Adat finished eating, he even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
At this moment, Adat was sitting in a corner of the camp, sitting quietly in a daze. All the prisoners were controlled together. There were more than thirty people in one camp, because everyone had become prisoners. There were people in twos and threes gathering together to chat, and more people sitting hesitantly, looking very helpless. , all worried that they would be killed.
Amidst everyone's discussion, suddenly, people were called away one after another, and then came back.
As they walked back and forth, the camp became obviously restless.
Many Tianzhu people are extremely nervous.
Adat looked at the people coming and going, looked around for a few times, and then withdrew his gaze. He was alone, and he had no worries. After all, his parents were dead and he was the only one left.
While Adat Ku was sitting, he suddenly called out to him and told him to go out.
Adat walked out of the camp like a puppet and soon met Ming officers.
Adat was originally very nervous, but the Ming officer kindly asked him to sit down. This arrangement made Adat's heart very different, and a different feeling arose in his heart.
In Adat's anxiety, he thought he was going to be dealt with. Unexpectedly, the Ming officer was approachable and asked about his family, his origin, situation, and his current life and experiences as if he were chatting.
Adat swore that he had never met such a noble person in his life.
Adat was grateful and spoke honestly.
Everything he knew, he told.
Finally, Adat left and sat down again in the tent. Time passed, and at noon, the army had another meal. The meal Adat had today was also broth rice, but there was an extra piece of meat in the broth.
Adat even heard an order from an officer of the Ming Dynasty, prohibiting anyone from snatching it, and if found, he would be executed directly. Adat ate the most delicious piece of meat in his life. It was soft and the aroma filled his mouth, making him intoxicated.
Adat swore that he suddenly longed for the Ming Dynasty in his bones.
It’s great to live in Daming.
He is just a prisoner, but he can actually eat meat. Such a life in Tianzhu is unthinkable. If he had any money in Tianzhu, it would be robbed immediately.
Adat sat down after eating. In the afternoon, Adat didn't know what time it was, but he saw a soldier entering the camp and ordered: "Where is Adat, follow me."
Adat stood up, his eyes no longer frightened, because he felt that even the food here in Ming Dynasty was so good.
It can't be worse than Tianzhu.
Adat came to a camp and saw an old man wearing gorgeous robes and a big beard. He was sitting upright without being angry or intimidating.
Although the old man had a slight smile on his face, Adat felt a little nervous and stood very restrained, his eyes wandering.
Cao Cao looked at Adat with a smile on his face.
The reason why he summoned Adat was because he compiled the information from the investigation and found that Adat was a very special person and very miserable, so he was a special candidate to complain.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
The translator relayed the story. After Adat heard this, he sat down a little numbly and nervously.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Don't be nervous. I invited you here because after listening to the report of your information, I found that your life has been too miserable. Your life is bullied everywhere, unfair everywhere, and full of troubles." Bumpy.”
Listening to Cao Cao's words, Adat suddenly felt a different feeling in his heart.
There is a special emotion brewing.
He has never heard such words since he was a child. The words he heard were all scolding him, saying why he didn't die, and despising him. However, suddenly there was someone who said that he had passed away. If you don't say it well, it means life is full of ups and downs.
Cao Cao noticed the change in Adat's expression, his expression softened, and said: "The people of our Ming Dynasty all live the same life. There are no racial divisions such as Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Sudras and Dalits. They are ordinary people. Everyone is the same. Ordinary people can also marry and have children, have the opportunity to study and become officials, and can live on the farm without being despised or insulted by others."
Adat's eyes lit up.
There was a look of expectation in his eyes, a little yearning, a little curious, and a little confused.
What did Ming officials do with this?
Cao Cao continued softly: "Next, the Ming Dynasty will go to Tianzhu to save all of you, so that Dalit people like you at the lowest level can be freed from your identity, can live a life with your head held high, and have your own true self. With a house, you can actually get married and have a wife, and live a stable life.”
Adat's breathing was even more rapid.
He is human too.
He also yearns to be able to walk with his head held high in the sun and to live a stable life after sunset. He also yearns to get married, have children of his own, and enjoy the fun of being a family.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "The Ming Dynasty wants to save you and overthrow everything in Tianzhu. It depends on you first and you must be able to save yourself. What you need to do now is to go to Taiwan to complain, explain your life experience, and say what happened to you. What unfair treatment did the Brahmins and Kshatriyas receive when they were oppressed?”
"These are the next steps."
"I also recruited people of Vaisya and Sudra origin, and they all wanted to complain one by one, and they wanted to complain about the oppression of Brahmins and Kshatriyas."
"Although there are Vaishyas and Shudras who bully you. But in the final analysis, it is these top-level Brahmins and Kshatriyas who oppress you, making it impossible for you to live, so you have to complain now."
Cao Cao asked: "Do you understand what I said?"
Adat nodded and said with a longing look, "Can I live a good life as you mentioned?"
"No, not yet!"
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "In order for you and those of you who are suffering to live a good life, we must also overthrow the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, so that they can be completely wiped out, so that they will no longer oppress you."
"You people at the bottom can live a good life only if you no longer encounter a clearly defined racial class."
"To complete this step, we also need the Ming Dynasty's army to destroy King Chaori."
"What you are doing now is to prepare for this, so that you people at the lowest level begin to understand the reasons and are willing to participate. Only then will the Ming Dynasty really play its role."
Adat seemed to understand, and said: "It's the Ming Dynasty, will it support us?"
"Hahaha……"
Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said with approval in his eyes: "You are right. In short, the Ming Dynasty will support you next, let you live a good life, and drive away the Brahmins and Brahmins." Dili, I want you to receive land and food."
"I am willing!"
Dalit suddenly raised his voice.
He doesn't want to go on like this.
He wants land, food, and even a woman in the future who can have his own home.
A smile appeared in Cao Cao's eyes and he said in approval: "Okay, you go down and wait for the notice. When the time comes, you will complain. Now, go back and think about how these Brahmins and Kshatriyas bullied you. What kind of unfair treatment could I receive?”
Dalit stood up, bowed and left, but his heart felt a little hot because he discovered that his spring was coming soon.
After Cao Cao received the Dalits, he continued to receive them.
Cao Cao was busy with this matter all day long.
It was late at night before Cao Cao rested. Another day passed, morning came and the sun rose. Cao Cao got up early and washed up, then summoned all the Tianzhu soldiers to gather in the camp.
Cao Cao brought his people to the school grounds in person. He had already set up a high platform to prepare for today's complaint and criticism meeting.
Cao Cao came to the stage to preside in person. He looked around the audience and found that Lu Xuan, Lu Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others were all there. Today, Cao Cao completed his criticism and complaint, and completed his criticism of Tianzhu. If the soldiers instigate rebellion, then Guo Jia and Huang Zhong will leave.
Although Cao Cao was once the leader of a country.
However, this was the first time for such a conference, and he felt a little nervous.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and took the lead in talking about today's topic. However, the time he spoke was very short and he went directly to the topic and said loudly: "Now, we invite the first person to complain, Adat. , he came on stage to tell his story.”
