Records of the Founding of the Ming Dynasty

In ancient times in our country, managing the Yellow River seemed to have always been a top priority. This mother river often changed its course, and every change of course was a devastating blow to the people! In 1344 AD, a major event happened in the Yuan Empire. This event was neither big nor small. It was the Yellow River bursting its banks! When the Yellow River bursts its banks, the normal approach is to deal with it in two ways, either to regulate it or to leave it alone. The Yuan Dynasty was no exception. It was Prime Minister Tuotuo who advocated the regulation of the Yellow River. He believed that leaving things alone would lose the support of the people and trigger riots, which would lead to the collapse of the dynasty. Officials who advocated non-repair were well aware of the corruption of the Yuan Dynasty. No matter how much effort they put into governance, it would always end up in the pockets of officials at all levels. This will lead to greater public dissatisfaction. Some Mongolian princes and nobles represented by Tuotuo decided to regulate the Yellow River. Maybe Tuotuo really wanted to control it, but other Mongolian nobles are unknown. After weighing the pros and cons, the Mongolian and Yuan nobles decided to manage the Yellow River. Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuohuan Timur, appointed Tuotuo to be fully responsible.
