Seizing the Yuan

I felt this book was good in every way, it suited my taste, but it greatly exaggerated the fighting power of the Mongol army. That level of discipline and combat prowess... In reality, the Mongol army was simply characterized by: fearlessness, Genghis Khan's absorption of technology and culture, and the incompetence of the Song and Jin dynasties. It shouldn't be so mythologized; it made me very uncomfortable reading it.

Mongolia is strong, but not that strong. His ability to conquer the world is simply because the Song Dynasty was too weak. The geographical advantages of northern China were divided among the Liao, Jin, Xia, and Song dynasties, resulting in the loss of any control over the grasslands.

Greetings, comrades! Greetings, Commander Guo!

Let's talk about the Battle of Kaifeng First, here is a map of Kaifeng during the Jin Dynasty. I spent seven days reading all the updated chapters of this book. It's a very well-written book, with minor flaws in the beginning, but they're not serious. It's a top-notch historical novel. However, I really don't understand the latest chapter about the fire in Kaifeng. I have a few questions.

I. The Attitude of the Han People of Youyan Towards the Liao Regime 1. **Regarding the Liao Dynasty (Early Period):** In the early stages after being forced into the Liao Dynasty's territory, the Han people of Yan and Yun still maintained a strong sense of identity with the Central Plains and held a resistant attitude towards the Khitan people from the northern frontier.

In Chapter 640, Zhang Peng buys sheep and discusses the price of mutton. When mutton was expensive in the Southern Song Dynasty, it cost 900 coins per jin. Some people in the comments section don't believe this, but the author didn't fabricate it out of thin air. Here are some possible sources; please feel free to point them out! At the end of the Shaoxing era...

There are still Like the Yuan Is it a serious, low-key, pragmatic, and unpretentious historical novel?

Yang Miaozhen's death is the best outcome. Guo has no shortage of military generals under his command. Being a woman is of no value to Guo.

The transition of nomadic peoples from tribes to states marked their peak, but also the beginning of internal strife and conflict. This was because their existing systems were fundamentally incompatible with the state's, inevitably leading to power struggles.

Actually, I think some comrades are overly fearful of the Mongols. The Mongols are powerful, but not invincible. They all have two shoulders and one head, so what's there to be afraid of? Many people seem to automatically assume that in a one-to-one numerical advantage in a cold weapon battle, the Mongols would lose. Why wouldn't they win?
