In their territory, people are divided into grassland hukou and rural hukou. Grassland hukou is a privilege, and rural hukou is specially exploited by grassland people. Prairie people only need to compensate a donkey for killing rural people. At that time, people in the south, their lives, were worth the money of a donkey, which was converted into the current market value, that is, thousands of dollars. How many people can be killed if a prairie person of a household plays a killing game. Millionaire, killing people is like crushing a cockroach, and it only takes a few pence.
Human life is worthless, let alone other aspects. For example, in order to rule the south of China, the Yuan government sent a Mongolian family to every village. They have no job and depend on the people in this village to support themselves. Everyone in the village who has delicious food should give it to this family first; Some are fun, but also for this family. Not only that, but more importantly, when villagers marry their daughters-in-law, they must send their new daughters-in-law to this home first. On your wedding night, the Mongols will give you a treat first.
In order to keep the bloodline pure, many people will throw the first child born to their new wife to death, and the second child will be used to carry on the family line.
In order to prevent the villagers from rebelling, all the knives in the village should be stored in this Mongolian family. If you want to cut vegetables, you have to report and apply for a kitchen knife.
The villagers hate this Mongolian family. However, the Mongols are too tough. If you are not careful, you will die. So many people regard this Mongolian family as a fairy.
Why do Mongols do this? This is because Mongolians don't understand the culture of the Han nationality at all. Of course, they don't want to learn the culture of Han nationality. They conquered many lands, including Persia, Xixia, Jin State, Russia and so on. Why do they want to learn the culture of Han nationality? Many Mongolian officials can't speak Chinese at all. Of course, except Kublai Khan, he likes Chinese culture very much, and so does his assistant minister Lu Ye Chucai. So during Kublai Khan's period, the Central Plains developed.
However, the richness of the Central Plains has slowly made the Mongols lose their wildness.
The princes and grandchildren of the Yuan Dynasty enjoyed a comfortable and luxurious life since childhood, and naturally lost their fighting spirit. Moreover, this luxury is spreading throughout the Mongols. The vast Yuan Dynasty was completely corrupted by money and beautiful women at an amazing speed. It is said that this people on horseback, a generation later, many people can't ride horses. More Mongolians live a life of reaching for clothes and full of food, and have nothing else.
Mongolians also kept printing money, creating inflation, and the money saved by ordinary people became waste paper overnight. This makes the frugal Central Plains people even more angry.
In order to get more money, Mongols invented a special tax method, that is, contracting the tax revenue of various regions to businessmen. Mongolian rulers only care about how much money businessmen can pay, and they are too lazy to care about the means of collecting taxes by businessmen. In order to collect more taxes, these businessmen are really unscrupulous.
At this time, the Yuan regime in Mongolia has decayed to the bone marrow.
However, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Mongols are internally consumed, even if the Mongols are corrupt, and even if the Mongols adopt a high-handed policy toward the Central Plains, their rule is still very stable. If there are no extraordinary events, Mongolians can sit and enjoy great rivers and mountains.
Unfortunately, the14th century in which the Yuan Dynasty lived was the most frequent era of natural disasters in the world, and China was no exception. Famine, extreme cold, plague and other natural disasters have occurred one after another. Generally speaking, natural disasters are the precursors of peasant uprisings. At this time, the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty was the Prime Minister Tuotuo. He was still a wise man and knew that it was impossible to put pressure on the people blindly. So, he gave relief everywhere. In desperation, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty could not live, and the court had no money. In addition, even if the relief continues, after layers of exploitation, only one thing will really reach the people.
It's better to work hard than to die anyway. Ideologically, the poor have long been ready to rebel.
Tuotuo is keenly aware that the biggest cause of hunger is the flood of the Yellow River. In A.D. 1343, the Yellow River burst and five million people became victims. To solve the problem thoroughly, we must build the Yellow River well. Mongolians dare to do things and do great things. Tuotuo blew the signal to control the Yellow River, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people were arrested, and everyone worked together to repair the Yellow River.
Tuotuo didn't know that he was not managing the Yellow River, but looking for someone to dig a hole and bury the Yuan Dynasty completely.
Hundreds of thousands of people got together at once and nothing happened. That's weird. These people hate Mongols, but in their own homes, there are not many people and they dare not fight openly. Now people who hate each other have gathered together, and everyone has long been ready for a bloody battle with the Mongols.
The military strength of the Mongolian army is indeed world-class. However, the Mongolian army was also corrupt at that time. More importantly, the territory of the Mongolian empire is too large. From Europe to Asia, it is about five or six times that of China now, and Mongolian land is everywhere. In order to hold the land, the army had to disperse in these places. There are very few troops that really attack these hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
Indeed, ordinary people have not received military training and even confiscated kitchen knives. However, Mongolians forget that hatred is the greatest power. At some point, if we show our poles, we can start an uprising.
At this time, a religious organization named An Baili Sect began to organize an uprising. Soon, the people revolted. At this point, the people in the world held their breath and responded when they saw the uprising of others. For a time, all parts of the world were flags of uprisings.
No matter how powerful the Mongolian army is, it can't be suppressed, because they are caught in the sea of Wang Yang where the people are uprising.
Since then, a man who had the experience of begging and becoming a monk has devoted himself to this uprising, forcing the Mongols to ride their horses again. Of course, he didn't attack, but fled to the depths of the desert. This man is Zhu Yuanzhang. He and his descendants have been waging a war in pursuit of Mongols.
In the end, the Mongolian empire fell from a huge territory to several tent sites, but it was swept away by Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming army.
If there were no terrible natural disasters, the Yuan Dynasty might still be arrogant. The people in China are very kind. Even if they are forced to breathe, they will persist. Unfortunately, in the face of disaster, the people of China have no choice but to rebel. Therefore, the demise of the Yuan Dynasty was more due to natural disasters. Of course, this also comes down to the high-handed rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Otherwise, ordinary people will tighten their belts and live with the Mongols to resist natural disasters.
