What do you mean by killing Tatars on August 15th? Is it a war waged by the Han people in pursuit of freedom?
Yuan dynasty was a feudal dynasty in the history of our country, but it existed for a short time. When the second emperor was in the Central Plains, he basically had no place to live and returned to his own Mongolian grassland. He was able to decline rapidly because his rule was so cruel that he didn't treat the Han people as adults at all. At that time, there was a saying that "15 killed Tartars in August". What does this mean?

Since Mongolia entered and ruled the Central Plains, their attitude towards the Han people has been very bad. At that time, Mongolia divided everyone into four grades in society. The first class are Mongols, the second class are Semu people, the third class are ethnic minorities such as the Khitan Nuzhen, and the fourth class are Han people, who are the lowest ethnic group, so they have no rights among ordinary people. In order to prevent the Han people from rebelling, they sent Mongolian soldiers to every village. At that time, they were called Tatars. This Tatar is very powerful. At that time, the Mongolian court was afraid of Han rebellion. Even every village doesn't have these knives, guns and sticks. 10 There is only one knife in the family. Every time people cook, they borrow a kitchen knife from this Tatar's house. When they are finished, they must go back. Moreover, they are not allowed to meet each other during the day and they are not allowed to go out at night.

Later, at the end of the yuan dynasty, the rule of the yuan dynasty was even darker, and many ordinary people could not stand it. At that time, some farmers of Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to rebel, but because it was inconvenient to contact at that time, Liu Bowen gave Zhu Yuanzhang an idea at that time, that is, put a note in the moon cake, which said that the Tatar would be killed on August 15th. After August 15, all ordinary people invited him home, then drank him and got him drunk. People eat moon cakes, only to find that there is a note inside. Later, when I saw the words above, they all killed their own Tatars, and a vigorous peasant uprising began.
