Rise of Northern Asia

Implementing Han Chinese systems within tribes—could it really work? Didn't our ancestors try? If it were truly feasible, Emperor Wu of Han would have already conquered the grasslands. The Eight Banners system, however, was suitable for tribes. The Liao Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were essentially a "one country, two systems" arrangement.

It would be better to lead the tribe to keep migrating and expanding, plundering smaller tribes and taking their people, and go to India!

If we're talking about the struggle for supremacy on the grasslands, the most suitable model is the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty. This was roughly the pinnacle of tribal slavery on the grasslands. The Han Dynasty's system wouldn't have worked on the grasslands because of the high degree of mobility.

If the grassland people settle down, what will happen to the cattle, sheep, and horses that graze? If thousands or tens of thousands of them graze, an entire pasture will be gone.

This is outlandish; the opening lines are incredibly toxic. Even in the 21st century, completely settled grazing on grasslands hasn't been achieved. Why? Because China's grasslands are temperate continental grasslands, and you know the 400mm rainfall line? If grazing continues in one place for an extended period, the grasslands will inevitably degrade into desert.

If you're going to do things like this, what's the point of writing about Mongolia if you're just going to focus on farming? What's the point of writing about Mongolia without burning, killing, and looting?

Genghis Khan is the only pride of the nomadic peoples. He led the nomadic cavalry out of the grasslands. After all, they were a nomadic people, so we can't ask too much of them. It was enough that they were able to get out of the grasslands. To rule them was too much to ask of them.

As a veteran player, this is my opinion! This book is about the bloodline of the steppe people, which is a major draw for most readers who prefer orthodox Han Chinese history. Perhaps some people still read it now, but I think the readership will not continue to increase. It's not that the author's writing is bad.

Please stop questioning whether it's possible to settle here. This era is only about two hundred years since the founding of Hohhot; technically, there's no problem. It's clearly stated that there are rivers and forests nearby, indicating it's close to Northeast China, not the heart of the grasslands. If it's not possible to settle here, where is it?

Will the author give the protagonist a Han surname? This Mongolian name sounds like it's being treated like a foreigner's name. Moreover, the Mongols of that time were like Satan, readily committing massacres, killing men, and forcing women into sex slavery and childbirth machines.
