Chapter 173: The Wolf's Lair ...... Khan Bali!
September 22. Clear. Little wind.
I saw Beijing. No, it's Dadu. Li Luo told me that the Mongols didn't even know how to call "Dadu", they called it "Khan Bali", which means "the city of the Great Khan". Hehe, sweat eight miles.
I've been here many times before, but when I see it today, it feels so unfamiliar.
The day before yesterday, when Li Luo and I crossed the Great Wall, he pointed to Chengguan and told me that this was the famous Shanhaiguan, which is now called Yuguan.
I saw that the soldiers on the city pass were obviously Mongols.
The Great Wall was built by the ancestors of the Han people, and the soldiers of the Han people guarded the Great Wall for more than a thousand years, and they were guarded against Yidi in the north. But now, the soldiers on the Great Wall have become Yidi.
Suddenly I felt particularly ridiculous, pathetic, shameful, pitiful.
I saw Yanshan, and it was dark from afar. In a trance, it seemed that he was sitting on the train again, looking at Yanshan.
Why, even though the land is under your feet, there is no joy at all.
I suddenly remembered that when I crossed the Yalu River three days ago, many tribute girls and eunuchs knelt by the river, looking south at Goryeo and weeping, because they could never go back after crossing the river.
At that time, Li Luo's face was ugly. He asked a tribute girl, "Why are you crying?" Is it because I will never see my parents and family again, or because I will never be able to return to Goryeo?
The maid replied that she was crying because she would never see her family again.
I found Li Luo breathing a sigh of relief. But he wasn't at ease. He asked several tribute girls and eunuchs, and the answer was that he could not see his family.
As a result, Li Luo's face looked much better.
He whispered to me that they were all crying for their families, and no one was crying for Goryeo. What does this mean? This shows that Goryeo can be conquered in the future.
This man, because of the eunuch "crying river", is thinking about conquering Goryeo in the future, which is really ......
The countryside of North China outside the capital is not desolate. However, I saw large swaths of yurts. The fields that were supposed to be growing food were overgrown with grass. From time to time, you can see herds of cattle and sheep, some of whom are obviously Han people, in the ...... Graze.
I'm really drunk, I don't know, I think I'm outside the plug.
Hey, I wrote so many diaries, and every time I burned them after I wrote them in the front, where is this diary, this is writing poems and burning manuscripts, damn it.
When the diary I wrote doesn't have to be destroyed, it will be the time to be truly safe and free. Man, you have to work hard.
…………
On September 22, the 17th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the king of Goryeo personally led a birthday delegation to Dadu.
The Ministry of Rites flew to play the Imperial Front of the Great Yuan Son of Heaven.
The emperor issued an edict, and the crown prince and the officials of the Ministry of Rites greeted him in person at Anzhenmen in the north of the capital. (The capital of the Yuan Dynasty was actually completed in 1285, and before that, it was still the capital of Jinzhong, and Kublai Khan still lived in the Daning Palace of the Jin Dynasty.) But for the sake of simplicity of the plot, most of the rights of this book have been completed)
The crown prince personally greeted him at the city gate, and it was impossible for the arrogant Mongols to give the king of Goryeo this face, and it was Kublai Khan's concubine Princess Anping who had face.
To put it bluntly, it was Kublai Khan who sent his son Zhenjin to welcome his beloved daughter who returned from afar.
Marrying his daughter to Goryeo fully shows Kublai Khan's love for this woman. The other daughters are not married to the lord of a country as queens, let alone the king of Goryeo is still so obedient.
The etiquette of the early Yuan Dynasty was coarse and sparse, far less elaborate than the Song Dynasty. The queen of Goryeo took a cavalry, abandoned the embassy brigade, and went directly to the gate of An Zhen.
Li Luo followed behind her, looking up at the majestic and magnificent capital, and his heart was full of emotion.
This is a huge city that was selected for the site of Paspa, designed by Liu Bingzhong, and built over 18 years by hundreds of thousands of migrant workers. At this time, Dadu was the first city in the world that was even greater than Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Rome.
It is the third city in the entire history of the ancient world after Chang'an and Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty.
Compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties of Beijing in later generations, most of them are undoubtedly much more atmospheric.
It's a pity that it is not the capital of the Han Chinese, and the Mongols do not even call it Dadu, but "Khan Bali".
This is...... Wolf's Lair. Starting from the Khitan, for more than 300 years, it has not been a city of the Han people. First the Khitans, then the Jurchens, now the Mongols, and later, the Manchurians.
Around this seemingly great city, the vast North China Plain is full of former fertile fields that have been turned into pastures, and old Han Chinese people who have become slaves.
Almost every day, people resisted, fled, and were executed. A lot of people don't even have names. They have names such as Four-Nine, Eight-Eight, Five-Four, and Erda. Their common name is "Expellation".
Many people's Han family clothes have become braided hair. Many Heluoya dialects have become northern dialects.
The original owner, became the third and even the fourth. They called their masters Mongol officials, and returned to their masters, calling themselves slaves and maids.
Most of the income from their labor must be handed over, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, the cool officials are as ruthless as wolves, how can they live in the world, they can only live in the end of the world and break people's intestines.
There is a Yuan generation, and the homeless people account for one-third of the total population all year round, and the bones are starving, and they have been in the Tao for decades.
The criminal cases related to them do not even need to be judged, not included in the law, and there are no files, and they are directly lynched by the master. Then, let the experts of later generations think that the Yuan Dynasty "lenient punishment and prudent law" and "legal progress".
The man who is called the "Monarch of the Four Universes", "The Great Emperor", and "The Khan of the Khans", he, is only a pound? Kublai Khan, who lived in his city of Khan Bali, sat on a high throne, listened to the cries of hundreds of millions of Han people, and pretended to be merciful.
That man, the example of the conqueror of the early colonial era of the world, did what all the steppe peoples had not done for thousands of years. It is not so much that he is the emperor of the Central Plains, but that he is the khan of "all the descendants of gray wolves and red hinds".
Li Luo lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes.
So be it, only God knows.
The officers of the guard at the gates, seeing the princess's banner, let the queen and her cavalry pass without asking.
Such a situation could not have existed in Kaifeng or Lin'an in the Song Dynasty.
It's not that the Mongols guarding the gate are careless, but that they are confident enough.
When Prince Dayuan Zhenjin came to greet his sister with officials from the Ministry of Rites, he was in vain. Because the princess has already entered the city, now I am afraid that she has entered the palace.
Prince Zhenjin knew that his sister had entered the city, so he went back to the palace directly, leaving only the officials of the Ministry of Rites to pick up the king of Goryeo.
Therefore, when the king of Goryeo led a large delegation of people to Anjeongmen, he only saw a few officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Not to mention the crown prince, even other princes, no one came to pick him up as a dignified concubine and the king of a country.
The face of the king of Goryeo immediately couldn't hold back, even the deputy envoys of the left and right, Jin Fangqing and Li Qi, also felt that their faces were dull.
At this time, Li Luo had already galloped with the queen of Goryeo and came directly to the palace under the palace. Along the way, Li Luo didn't even have time to look at the scenery in the capital.
