Chapter 457 The "Four Classes of People" in the Yuan Dynasty

On the canopy.

The emperor completely erased the words "Southern Song" from the territory.

The reunified word "Yuan" is displayed on the territory.

……

[On the stage of Chinese history, Kublai Khan and Wen Tianxiang are like the dazzling Gemini constellation. ]

[The difference is that Wen Tianxiang brought glory to the world through his virtue.]

【As for Kublai Khan, his immortality mainly came from his achievements. 】

[The Yuan Dynasty he established adopted the political system of the previous Central Plains dynasty, and then marched south to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.]

【After four or five hundred years of division since the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the country was once again unified. 】

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng was in a trance for a moment.

"correct……"

"The Song Dynasty was not a unified country..."

Then he bent down with a grim face and covered his heart.

It existed for more than twenty times longer than the Qin Dynasty!
This dynasty existed for more than three hundred years!

"Hu! Hai!"

He was angry again.

Angry that he killed Hu Hai too early!

"Bring the memorial!"

A palace servant stepped forward tremblingly and answered:

"Your Majesty... the memorials... were all taken away by Internal Secretary Xiao!"

Ying Zheng glared angrily!

"Who told him to do that?..."

It’s me.

“…Get down!”

The palace maids responded as if there had been a general amnesty and hurriedly left.

The autumn wind from outside the palace blew into the palace.

The black curtains fluttered.

Ying Zheng glanced around the empty hall.

An inexplicable loneliness came over me.

He pursed his lips.

"Come here... summon Liu Bang to the palace."

The scene changes.

Liu Bang, with disheveled hair and a single garment open, nodded and smiled as he sent the palace maid out with the message.

After the palace maid walked out, she looked up at the sky.

The sun is shining brightly.

After Liu Bang closed the door, Lu Zhi, who was wearing only a single layer of clothes, walked out of the room and said impatiently:
"You're allowed to enter the palace again? You might as well just live there!"

"I'm afraid you've seen him more often than his concubines."

Liu Bang surreptitiously opened the door and took a look, then closed the door and turned back to say:
"It's not like he came here at this time on purpose."

"Forget it, you woman don't understand."

"Hurry up! Change clothes for Naigong!"

Lu Zhi spat lightly and turned back into the house with her slender waist.

"I'm doing things for you for nothing!"

Liu Bang scratched his head and looked at the sky.

He gritted his teeth.

Increase the intensity! Quick victory!

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian sighed with great melancholy.

Dugu Jialuo also sighed continuously.

It is not a unified country that can survive for three hundred years.

The unified Sui Dynasty existed for more than 30 years...

"Ugh……"

Yang Jian sighed again

"Okay, anyway, it's twice as strong as Qin Dynasty."

Dugu Jialuo couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You better do better!"

Yang Jian smiled bitterly.

"How can it be better than this... No one misses the Qin Dynasty."

"We have it in the Sui Dynasty..."

He looked at the sleeping baby and muttered to himself.

"Everything depends on you..."

……

Datang.

Li Yuan was a little dazed.

"It's been so long..."

Li Shimin on the side sighed:

"Yeah, it's been so long without me noticing..."

“History… it’s really heavy.”

……

Liao Dynasty - Emperor Shengzong
Yelu Longxu nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yup!"

"The Southern Dynasty even lost the Central Plains!"

"Forget about unification, even orthodoxy is gone!"

"So, is it our Great Liao's turn now?"...

【Kublai Khan was a key figure in the transformation of the Mongolian regime. 】

[In addition to establishing the Yuan Dynasty in accordance with the Central Plains dynasty model, he first moved the political center from Khorum to Kaiping, in today's Inner Mongolia, not far from the original Khorum.]

[Going a step further, Kaiping was renamed Shangjing, and the real political center was moved from Shangjing to Yanjing]

[We can't even say he "moved the capital"]

[Because before Kublai Khan, Mongolia did not have the concept and system of a capital city]

……

{From Genghis Khan's construction of the war machine to the post station system formed by Ogedei, and the transformation to the garrison system, the Mongols learned how to reconcile military and agricultural production.}
{It has gradually transitioned from a giant nomadic tribe to a true country.}
{During this entire process, the Southern Song Dynasty could do nothing but watch from the sidelines, trembling as the terrible tragedy approached step by step.}
{Lamb to be slaughtered! Ciao...}
……

Song Taizong period
Zhao Kuangyi sat in the pavilion with a sour face.

"If you say Kublai Khan, then say Kublai Khan!"

"Why are you bringing up the Song Dynasty again?"

……

Great Mongol Empire
Temujin, who was waiting for his sons to arrive, played with a dagger and looked at the sky.

He thought he didn't care about the Central Plains Dynasty.

But after four or five hundred years, the Central Plains was unified again.

And when the unifier is still his grandson, a wonderful feeling is born!
"Great unification..."

He chewed on these three words.

do not know why.

The more you chew, the more delicious it tastes...

……

[Every dynasty in history has its own legal system, and the legal system has strong characteristics of the times. 】

[On the surface, the unification of the Yuan Dynasty was a landmark event, but it faced many problems in the process of governing the country and ruling the people.]

[The Yuan Dynasty once wanted to emulate the Liao Dynasty's system of north-south officials and use the Khitan's legal and political system to govern the people who mainly lived in the northern region.]

【Use the laws and political system of the Central Plains to govern the Han people who mainly live in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. 】

[However, after the Yuan Dynasty conquered the Southern Song Dynasty, its territory expanded rapidly. In addition, more and more Semites and northern Han people who followed the Mongols to the south settled in the south and lived together with the Han people.]

[Therefore, the Liao Dynasty's system of north-south officials was obviously unable to adapt to the needs of ruling a vast empire and a large number of people.]

……

Big man.

Liu Bang suddenly became keenly aware of one thing.

Or rather, he saw a familiar scene again.

Lu Zhi also looked at Liu Bang.

The two of them thought of going to the same place.

The situation the Yuan Dynasty is facing now is similar to that of the Qin Dynasty.

They are all facing an unprecedented country and people.

If you behave inappropriately, you will end up like the Qin State.

……

Datang.

Li Shimin sat up straight and looked at the sky carefully.

The Tang Dynasty actually faced the same dilemma.

The territory is vast, and how to govern the people and the foreigners together is a problem.

This problem has never been encountered before.

The fall of the Tang Dynasty was also due to its disorganized external behavior.

And what would the Yuan Dynasty do?
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew what Tianmu was going to say.

He hugged his shoulders and sneered.

"The Hu Lu people have no chance of a hundred years of national prosperity. It is entirely their own fault."

……

[After Kublai Khan proclaimed himself Khan and Emperor, the legal system continued to strengthen, and was basically moving towards a unified legal system across the region.]

[In 1261 AD, Kublai Khan continued to use the traditional "Yasa" for the Mongols, and promulgated the "Zhongtong Quanyi Tiaoli" based on the "Taihe Code" of the Jin Dynasty for the Han people and the Hanized people. Later, he successively promulgated a variety of "judicial interpretations" or "amendments" similar to today, making the laws gradually complete.]

[Until 1271, when he proclaimed himself emperor and established the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan basically followed the "Han law" and fully implemented Han standards, including the legal system.]

【Until two things happened. 】

[The first is the rebellion of Li Yu, the Marquis of Yidu, in 1262 AD.]

[Kublai Khan discovered that many Han Chinese clans were secretly colluding with him. Although the Yuan court did not investigate further after suppressing Li Zhu, it also greatly increased its vigilance against the Han Chinese.]

[He began to rely less on the Han people and more on the Semites to govern the country]

[Second, in 1282 AD, Wang Zhuo and Monk Gao assassinated the Minister of Finance Ahama in Dadu]

[Kublai Khan completely distrusted his Han officials.]

……

On the canopy.

A chart is displayed.

There are four people in different costumes arranged in different heights above.

The clan name is written on the left and the rank is written on the right.

"Mongol First Class"

"The Yuan Dynasty's "nation" was called "their own flesh and blood" by the Mongolian rulers"

"Semu people, second class"

"People from the Western Regions (Central Asia), some Khitans"

"Han Er·Third Class"

"The Han people, Khitan people, and Jurchen people in the former Jin Dynasty territory north of the Huai River, the conquered Yunnan people, and at the latest the Sichuan Han people conquered by the Mongols"

"Southern People, Fourth Class"

"Refers to the Han people in the former Southern Song Dynasty"

……

[Kublai Khan ordered the abolition of the advanced Jin Dynasty "Taihe Law"]

[It is not clearly stipulated, but in fact, through relevant institutional arrangements and legal norms, it is clarified that the people are divided into four levels of the "four-class system"]
