In ancient history, wars between human beings were indispensable, and the cruelty of ancient wars was even more heinous. In particular, wars between countries or peoples are even more brutal, just like the ancient wars between the Xiongnu, the Turks and the Central Plains, as long as they are captured on the battlefield, they are directly executed. The reason is that "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different", and most of the people arrested are young and strong laborers, who take up weapons and integrate them into a detachment, so they must die. What about the captive woman? What to do? Mainly these 4 methods.
First, become a slave girl.
This situation was relatively popular during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and a similar situation was mentioned in a TV series at the beginning of the year. Most of the women who were unfortunate enough to be captured on the battlefield became slave girls. Most of the female slaves entered the palace or the homes of officials, and the following people and slaves continued to live. Thus, slavery has always existed in ancient times, and these unfortunate female slaves have become their personal property, which can be called at any time. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, many female slaves in the homes of officials were used to directly entertain VIPs. And even if the female slave is favored by the master, she is still a lowly housewife, and she does not even have the opportunity to become a concubine.
Second, internal digestion.
This generally appeared in the early days of the founding of the country, and a large number of women were needed to replenish the harem, and then reward them to the heroes. One of the more typical is the Jingkang Disaster, when the jin state, which was only established at that time, captured a large number of Song Dynasty women, and most of them were rewarded to meritorious generals and subordinates. Moreover, the emperor and the prince would also participate in the division, using these female prisoners as their own servants or servants.
Third, engage in services.
This situation is relatively cruel, the ancient army first opened a "military prostitute" in the Spring and Autumn Warring States of the Qi Huangong period, and then was labeled "Huan Yi Yuan" and other labels, to put it bluntly, it is for the marching soldiers. For example, the concubines of Emperor Huizong of Song, as well as the empress, and many princesses all entered the Huan Yi Courtyard of the Golden Kingdom and lived a life of bearing humiliation and burden, which was very desolate and pitiful.
Fourth, accompany the march.
This situation is relatively inhumane, and the average nation would not do such an outrageous thing. In history, only the Xianbei and Xianbei tribes have appeared, to put it bluntly, this group of female prisoners should follow the troops, if there is no food to cook during the day, this situation is called "two-legged sheep", and at night they have to sleep with them, and the number of soldiers is several times that of female prisoners, it can be said that this practice is against morality. Therefore, this kind of tyrannical and bottomless nation was eventually all killed and directly exterminated.
