In July of the first year of Hongwu (1368 AD), Xu Da, who was named the Duke of Wei, led 250,000 Ming troops to the capital of Yuan after cleaning up the remnants of the enemy in Henan.

In August of the same year, the Ming army conquered Tongzhou (now Tongzhou District).

Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Dadu.

That is, what is now Beijing.

Facing the Ming army like a wolf and a tiger, as the current boss of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Shun stood up.

Name: 孛子弽金 Toyu Timur;

Nationality: Yuan Dynasty;

Place of birth: Jinshan (now Altai Mountains);

Main achievements: was frightened by the Ming army and ran away from the desert after being beaten by Xu Da;

Temple No.: Huizong;

Other names: Emperor Zhizheng, Emperor Gengshen, Emperor Gengshen, Emperor Yuan Shun;

Ethnicity: Mongolian;

Date of birth: April 17, 1320;

Died: April 28, 1370;

Era: Zhizheng;

Honorific name: Emperor Shun;

Later generations collectively called him: Emperor Yuan Shun.

The Mongolian interpretation of the Mongolian language is: iron pot. I don't know much about Mongolian culture, I really don't know what's good about the name iron pot, maybe it's the Mongolian Tatar guy who cooks less in the steppe!

Anyway, this brother's name translates to the name of the iron pot.

For the sake of convenience, let's call him iron pot in the future.

When 250,000 soldiers and horses poured into Beijing, Tie Guo, as the absolute boss, was the first to stand up and express his military views and issued a series of military orders.

On July 27, the 28th year of Zheng, as the emperor's iron pot, ordered Buyan Timur, who was then the governor of the Privy Council (an ancient position, should be equivalent to the current secretary general of the Military Commission), to lead most of the soldiers and horses out of the city to block the Ming army.

At the same time, he ordered Timur, the king of Huai, to be promoted to the prison state (generally only the crown prince has the right to supervise the country), act as the emperor with full powers, and promote Qingtong to the prime minister of Zhongshu Zuo, and assist Timur Buhua to deal with the affairs of the capital.

The iron pot laid the burden early, packed up the Taimiao tablet (ancestral spiritual position), and notified the harem prince and concubine to prepare when the time was ripe to run wildly.

Be well prepared in advance for his runaway career.

The iron pot plan is essentially okay.

After all, there are so many people who use them as shields, and they don't have to worry about being copied when they run away.

But unfortunately, Buyan Timur, the secretary general of the Military Commission, led the army and was made dumplings by the Ming army as soon as he left the city.

The Yuan army was defeated, and Buyan Timur was killed.

Faced with this ironclad fact, the iron pot of the then emperor of the Yuan Dynasty issued the last administrative order in Dadu on the 28th.

Close all the gates of the capital and resolutely resist the invading Ming army.

When all the ministers had withdrawn from the hall, the iron pot gave another order to another group of women and children.

Target: Shangdu (now in the territory of the Zhenglan Banner of the Xilin Gol League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region).

Start running.

Run wild!

Mother-in-law, children;

Run, the wolves are coming.

If you don't run, it's too late!

Spread your thick and short calves and run for your life!

Don't say I didn't inform you, it's your business that you can't escape.

As the emperor, I have to run first, or my head will have to move if I am slow!

Run, run, run!

In the first year of Hongwu (1368 AD), Xu Da, who had already prepared for a long-term attack, entered Dadu from Qihuamen (now Chaoyangmen).

According to Xu Da's previous war prediction, Yuan Dadu, the base of the Yuan army, is the most difficult bone to gnaw, and it is more difficult to deal with than Zhang Shicheng's mountain artillery.

Although Zhang Shicheng is rich, he has no ideals and no ambitions, and there are few younger brothers under him who can fight.

To put it bluntly, as long as you fight that mountain cannon for a long enough time, you will definitely be able to defeat him.

But the Yuan Dynasty was different.

Although this group of bastards is no longer good, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

The Iron Horse Scimitar is even feared by the Russian devils, and the Iron Cavalry is still very militarily capable.

It's better to be careful when fighting them head-on.

Therefore, Xu Da was fully prepared before entering Beijing.

Prepare for a protracted military game with them.

But when Xu Da entered Dadu, everything in front of him made him completely dumbfounded.

In most of the capital, there were no defenders at all, and all the soldiers and horses became decorations after the iron pot abandoned the city and fled.

Without waiting for the entry of the Ming army, all the soldiers and horses that were originally fortified heard that the boss had run away, so they all dispersed in a hurry.

The moment of history was rewritten in an instant from this moment.

The wheel of time is forever recorded at this moment.

On August 2, 1368, the Ming army entered Beijing.

Yuan Dadu, fell.

Yuan Dynasty, perished.

In order to record the great achievements of pacifying the north, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to change the capital of the Yuan to Beiping (meaning the pacification of the north).

The great title of Yuan Dadu has completely withdrawn from the stage of history from this moment.

After the pacification of Beiping, Emperor Yuan Shun, who was faster than a rabbit, ran to Shangdu (now in the territory of the Zhenglan Banner of the Xilin Gol League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) to continue to be his emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and this regime was called the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history.

The 97-year Yuan Dynasty government in China came to an end.

Comments on the Yuan Dynasty regime:

Although the Yuan Dynasty lasted only 97 years, not even a hundred years, it is also an era worth remembering.

Its historical merits deserve praise from all of us.

It was likewise a great dynasty.

Its greatness is mainly manifested in the following points:

First of all, the first point is that the geographical section is the widest!

The Yuan Dynasty was the most extensive dynasty in the history of our country and the most powerful feudal state in Asia at that time.

Not one of them.

During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, China's territory was unprecedentedly expanded, and the Yuan army occupied more territory than any previous dynasty, and the territory of the Mongol Empire extended from the Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean, including East Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, Eastern Europe, North Africa and other large regions, and was the largest and most extensive feudal empire in human history.

The only thing Mongolia has not set foot on is the Eastern European continent.

However, the Yuan Dynasty government had religious, economic, cultural, political and personnel exchanges with many European countries, and its overall influence was absolutely unprecedented.

Secondly, the second point is that the economy is prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong.

During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, the high-level of the Yuan Dynasty abandoned the traditional thinking of the previous feudal empire of valuing agriculture and light commerce, and merchants in the Yuan Dynasty had high rights and status, and the Yuan Dynasty allowed its own merchants to do business overseas, and at the same time supported other foreign businessmen to invest in China, the Yuan Dynasty government did not interfere, but would carry out a certain percentage of the commission (equivalent to paying taxes).

At the same time, in order to unblock the economic and cultural exchanges between the desert and the hinterland, the Yuan Dynasty made use of the original Silk Road and opened up three roads and links that influenced ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

They are: the Steppe Silk Road, which refers to the transportation roads that cross the northern steppe zone of the Eurasian continent;

The Oasis Silk Road (also known as the Desert Road) refers to the road from the Hexi Corridor through the oases in the desert region of Central Asia;

The Southwest Silk Road (early ******) refers to the passage through Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Tibet to India and Southeast Asia.

With these three days of great passage that influenced the ancient and modern, the maritime trade of the Yuan Dynasty far exceeded that of the Tang and Song dynasties.

The prosperity is unprecedented.

Relying on the prosperity of the Silk Road, the country's economy has developed rapidly.

Third, there is an unprecedented flourishing of religion.

Because of the prosperity of the Silk Road, the ethnic cultures and religions of other countries were able to enter, so the Yuan Dynasty adopted a relatively relaxed policy of pluralism in national culture, that is, respecting the cultural and religious traditions of various ethnic groups, and encouraging cultural exchanges and ideological integration among various ethnic groups in the country.

The Yuan Dynasty also tolerated and accepted European culture and *** culture, and even allowed Europeans to be officials and intermarry in the Yuan Dynasty.

This has led to the flourishing of religion and multiculturalism.

If you are lucky enough to travel, I recommend you to visit Kashgar.

In addition to being the western gate of China, it was an extremely important and strategically important place during the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

The spread of religion in Kashgar and even in many places in Xinjiang was largely created by the open political system of the Yuan Dynasty.

From a one-sided point of view, Muhammad as promoter and initiator and Allah, who they believe in as the sovereign, should be grateful to the Yuan dynasty.

Thanks to this dynasty for giving them fertile ground for passing on their teachings.

Finally, the great spread of culture.

The government of the Yuan Dynasty adopted a relatively liberal academic environment for culture, which also contributed to the prosperity and progress of the Yuan Dynasty culture, making the Yuan Dynasty another cultural peak after the Han, Tang and Song dynasties.

Although the writing handed down by this group of steppe wolves is fundamentally different from that of our Central Plains, their culture cannot be erased.

I believe that if it were not for the innate factors of geography and environment, I believe that the Mongols, with their bloody character, would have been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with our inland culture.

Well, the reason why I say this nonsense is just to tell you a truth.

Don't look at the Yuan Dynasty as a hiccup, but it has a profound impact on the progress and development of our China, and it is not an incompetent regime that has no achievements.

He has a sparkle and pride that belongs to him.

Okay, let's go back to the point of the two sides fighting.
