Understand the Yuan Dynasty in one article! What you see is history and what you learn is human nature
Shen talks about the highlights and overturns of the Yuan Dynasty's wave of "prairie heavenly groups". It uses official history as a context, combines unofficial history and various rumors, and starts from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty's fortune and demise. It introduces the military, economy, culture and system of the Yuan Dynasty in detail, comments on the advantages and disadvantages of each emperor and major ministers, and provides a comprehensive analysis of human nature! The Yuan Dynasty can be called one of the "most capable" dynasties in Chinese history. Its predecessor was the Mongol Empire saved by Temujin (later Genghis Khan). It focused on being an "invincible fighter" and violently attacked the surrounding areas. Finally, Kublai Khan picked the peaches. In 1271, the country was officially founded and its capital was Dadu (now Beijing).
At its peak, the Yuan Dynasty had a "ceiling" of territory spanning across the Eurasian continent. It could be called an ancient version of a "super empire". There was no need to worry about national borders when going out, and the main theme was "I have the final say on my territory."
The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were also outrageous. They changed their terms faster than turning the pages of a book. There were more than a dozen changes in the past few decades. The government was in a mess, official corruption was common, and the people's lives were miserable. In the later period, it was even worse. Natural disasters continued and no relief was provided. The originator of quantitative easing finally forced the peasants to revolt. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang directly forced Emperor Yuan Shun to flee. The Yuan Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains was completely cool. It lasted only 97 years. It can be said that "it goes as fast as it came". Generally speaking, the Yuan Dynasty relied on force to become a god, but it overturned because of its failure to govern the country. It focused on a concept of "starting with fists and ending with failure." Although its life span was short, the territory and cultural imprints it left are still there to this day~
