The Yuan Dynasty can be said to be an invincible period in Chinese history. During the Yuan Dynasty, we had the largest land area, but it existed for less than 100 years. It can only be said that although the Yuan Dynasty was brave and good at fighting, it lacked the ideas to govern the country. After the Yuan Dynasty, there was an era of war. Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world in one fell swoop and drove away the Mongolian soldiers. History is always written by the victors. How did you deal with the prisoner of war Zhu Yuanzhang?
Because of the fragmentation of the Yuan Dynasty, some people had nowhere to go, so naturally they could only sit back and wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's fate. From the moment Zhu Yuanzhang raised his flag against the Yuan Dynasty, massacres were indispensable. Naturally, some Mongolian women died under the knife. However, as Zhu Yuanzhang's status became higher and higher and he saw that so many Mongolians were still there, he thought of a way to assimilate the Mongols, so that there would be no argument about who was a dissident.
We all know that there were clear class classifications during the Yuan Dynasty, and the four-class division made many people angry. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said the slogan of restoring China, and naturally many people responded to him. By the time Zhu Yuanzhang established his dynasty, large-scale massacres were really not allowed. The method of intermarriage can indeed solve a lot of troubles. You must know that there are millions of people left in the Yuan Dynasty. Who can bear this kind of killing, so intermarriage is more realistic.
Zhu Yuanzhang demanded that Mongolian women need to learn Chinese and change their surnames. They must abandon the Mongolian lifestyle and join the life of the Han people. Including the previous costumes, etc., all needed to be changed, and a decree was even issued that "Mongolian men and women are not allowed to intermarry, otherwise they will be beaten with a stick." Such an order requires that the assimilation of bloodline will naturally solve the national conflicts.
