It's really tiring to shout on this stage, Chen Yuan took a breath and continued to sway: "Fellow villagers, friends." In order to let more people know about Mongolia in the north, I will start with the earliest steppe people.

As we all know, the north of our Chinese land is a forest, grassland or desert, and these places are cold and dry, and the land is thin and barren, which is not suitable for farming. Most of the people living in these lands are tribes who herd sheep and cattle.

These places are mainly outside the Great Wall, generally called Guanwai, and inside the Great Wall, is the place where our ancestors have lived for generations, known as Huaxia in ancient times, also known as China, called China. Since our ancestors, we have lived a life of male ploughing and female weaving, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, harvesting in autumn and hiding in winter. Life is passable.

Compared to the people south of our Great Wall, the tribes of the northern steppes had a miserable life. They drank the milk of cows and goats and ate the meat of cows and sheep.

Hey, that old brother, don't envy them for having meat to eat every day, in fact, this grassland people live a good life, in a word, the day is precarious. The cattle and sheep are going to get sick. When the cattle and sheep on the grassland are sick, it is a herd of soil that has died, and the herdsmen call them the black plague; Sometimes the snow falls too much in winter, and the ground accumulates thick snow, burying the grass, and the cattle and sheep cannot eat the grass, and a large amount of soil will starve to death, which is called the white plague.

In order to raise more cattle and sheep, their tribes will also grab grassland. The fighting between the steppe tribes was ferocious. The winning side will plunder the pastures, cattle, sheep, women, and children of the other side, and kill all the men who are taller than the wheels. Therefore, in the steppe, in the war between the tribes, everyone takes the lead, because if they are defeated, mothers, wives, and children will be robbed and killed. They fled, without cattle and sheep, without pasture, waiting for them to die.

That's it, the grassland people have developed a ferocious and murderous nature since ancient times, and they can ride horses and shoot arrows since they were young. To start a war, to kill people easily, to rob everything, in their eyes, is the most normal. They wanted to kill all who could see, leaving only their tribe behind.

When there is a large-scale black or white disaster in the grassland, or there is not enough grass, the cattle and sheep are not thick, and it is not good to survive the winter, the grassland people will unite and go south to plunder together. Because everyone on the grassland has suffered a disaster, no matter how much they rob, they will die of starvation. And we are in the gate, because we are cultivating the land, there is always some food at home at any time. This has been going on for thousands of years. ”

"Lord Inspector, are these Mongols the tribe of the steppe you said?" Someone asked loudly.

"Not bad." Chen Yuan nodded and said, "The various tribes of our northern grasslands are like weeds in the wilderness, killing each other, withering and prospering, dying and giving birth to batches. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xiongnu lived mainly on that land.

Everyone knows that when we were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, our national strength was at its peak, and the Huns were allowed to loot from time to time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the whole army north to fight the Xiongnu. Famous generals include Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Guang, who led the army and beat the Huns to cry and call their mothers. In the end, the Huns who did not die were separated, some surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and some ran west, not daring to return to the east for the rest of their lives.

For thousands of years, our Han Dynasty has been relieving, so those who farmed south of the Great Wall, originally called Qin and Chu, all called themselves Han people, and our ethnic group was called Han people. Hehe, tracing back to the ancestors, they are all Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor. ”

"Lord Inspector, isn't it, aren't we talking about Song people? Now they are called southerners, and they are not the same as the Han people in the north. "It's been a long time since I've heard people talk about the ancients, and the more people in the audience are talking, listening to it with relish, and some people are asking questions from time to time.

"Haha, this old brother is a good question." Chen Yuan smiled, "Your brother will understand if you follow Xin." After the Han Dynasty, the world was divided into Wei, Shu and Wu, and the Han people were divided into Wei people, Shu people, and Wu people. You say yes. ”

"Three points after the Han Dynasty, and three points in the world, and later cheapened the Sima family, seized the world of Cao Wei, unified the land of China, and became the Jin Dynasty, which is also known to everyone. But in the past few decades of Han people killing each other, our Han people have also suffered heavy casualties, most of them have died, and the strength of the Han people has been greatly reduced.

It stands to reason that the world is in turmoil, and there will be chaos after chaos. Think about it, there are fewer people, there are more fields, everyone has fields to plant, peace of mind, and live a good life, isn't it a great rule? But soon after the return of the Three Kingdoms, the common people did not live in peace. Because the Jin Dynasty produced an idiot emperor. This emperor, you may have heard of this idiot. It was the emperor who didn't eat the common people in that disaster year, and he said that he didn't eat meat if he didn't have food to eat. Everyone says that this emperor Lao Tzu is an idiot? ”

Everyone in the audience laughed. A few outsiders couldn't help but nod their heads.

Chen Yuan waved his hand and got back to the point: "This idiot emperor is on the throne, some people naturally breed ambitions, seven or eight Sima family princes come out, fight for power and profit, each lead soldiers and horses, kill and fight, and some people even attract Hu people from the north." In the end, the Hu people on the northern grasslands went south together, and the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty could not resist the enemy, so the emperor's ministers escaped the Yangtze River and went to Jiankang to continue to be the emperor. But it can make the common people miserable. The Hu people burned and plundered everywhere, and they also took the people in groups and treated them as walking cattle and sheep, called two-legged sheep, and killed and boiled them to eat when they cooked. I won't say much about all these tragic situations today. The scholar called this incident the Five Hu Chaohua, that is, the five kinds of Hu people invaded the land of our China.

Fortunately, our Han people are not all slaughtered by others, there was a man named Ran Min at that time, he said, we Han people are ten times more than Hu people, why let Hu people kill if they want, eat if they want! So he took a group of people and called for the killing of all the miserable Hu people. They fought with the murderous Hu people, and even killed the most ferocious and murderous Hu people.

Let's talk about whether this person is a hero or not! Do you admire it? ”

A clever agitator naturally pays attention to interacting with the people, Chen Yuan asked at the right time.

"Yes." The team members echoed in unison, and many people also echoed.

"Lord Inspector, keep talking, what happened to this Ran Min in the end." Someone shouted in a hurry.

"Ran Min was later killed by the Hu people, but it also made the Hu people see the power of our Han people, and they no longer dare to treat us as two-legged sheep, kill us at will, cook and eat at will." Chen Yuan was a little secret. There was a sigh in the audience.

"After the Five Hu Chaohua, there were the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then the world was unified into the Tang Dynasty, and then there was the Song Dynasty. By the time of our Great Song Dynasty, the northern Hu people were unified into the Khitan, established the Liao State, and occupied the land of our Youyan. Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, the army was defeated and returned to Kaifeng, but he couldn't beat it, so he had to send money. I beg the Khitans not to come to fight us.

Let's Zhao Song, heavy literature and light martial arts. Those who read books are pointing fingers every day, and they are also the opponents of the Khitans. Fortunately, the Liao people admire our Chinese civilization and are quite kind.

After many years of this, the more ferocious Jurchens further north gradually became stronger, opposed the Khitans, and attacked the Liao State. The court was an idiot, and when he felt that the opportunity had come, he had the heart to recover Youyan again, and made a maritime alliance with the Jurchens, and destroyed Liao with the Jurchens. After the Liao was annihilated, he was replaced by a more murderous Jurchen as a neighbor, and later everyone knew about it, so I won't say more. Our two emperors, a father and son, were captured by the Jin people, and the Song people north of the Yangtze River were lost to the Jurchens. The Jurchens established a court called Jin. The Han people in this world have been separated since then, the north is called the Jin people or the Han people, and the south of the Yangtze River is called the South people or the Song people. ”

"Oh, I see. But why did our Han emperor always run away as soon as something happened, leaving the people to be slaughtered. "Some people suddenly realized, but they didn't feel angry.

"You idiot, what is the fate of this emperor, what is the fate of you as a common man, is there any comparison?" Someone laughed, and everyone laughed

"Hmph, it's not like you'll die if you cut it down!" The man's neck stiffened, arguing.

"Okay, don't interrupt, listen to the inspection and talk about the ancients." Someone stopped drinking and shouted, "Lord Inspector, where did the Mongols come from?" ”

"This old brother is not in a hurry, this is the point." Chen Yuan also fought hard today, and then popularized.

"This Mongolian is also a tribe of cattle and sheep herding in the steppe in the north, which turned out to be quite weak and has been oppressed by the Jin.

More than 100 years ago, a Mongol named Temujin appeared on the steppe, who was very capable. He united some people, raised cattle and sheep on the steppe, and also robbed other cattle and sheep raisers from time to time, and gradually unified the various tribes on the steppe, collectively called the Mongols. He also called himself the Khan of Gengji, Long is the emperor of everyone in the world, and even the Jin people are not his opponents.

Temujin, who unified the steppe, felt that he was the darling of heaven, and that the Mongols should be the ancient rulers of the whole world. So he announced in public that all the places in the world where the sun shines should be the pastures of the Mongols, and all the goods belong to the Mongols. Everyone else should die, or they should be slaves to the Mongols.

Under the leadership of Temujin, the Mongols conquered westward and eastward, and laid down a territory more than ten times as vast as the Great Song Dynasty in the west, and to the east, destroyed the Western Xia and defeated the Jin State.

Everywhere the Mongols went, all their possessions were plundered, and the land was enclosed for grazing and pasture, and the people on the ground were either killed or used as slaves. Slaves were driven to herd cattle and sheep to support the Mongol lords. The Mongols were going to lay down a place, and the slaves were forced to fill in the trenches, climb the walls, and tear them apart. If the Mongols don't have something to eat, they will kill some to eat.

When they encountered a high city wall and could not attack it for a while, the Mongols would kill some slaves, and then use catapults to throw the dead bodies into the city, and use the dead corpses to smoke the people in the city.

Of course, there were also some slaves who did not die, especially those who could tear apart, so the Mongols organized them into a team, called the Tanma Red Army, and every time they fought in battle, they would be the vanguard, so as to kill fewer Mongols. Just like now, the Mongols drove the Semu people, and the Tangut people fought the Jin State, and after the Jin State was defeated, they organized the northern Jin people, also called the Han people, into the Han army, and went south to fight us.

Because everyone knows that this Mongol will also die. There are not many Mongols, and they can't afford to fight in the east and west. This Mongol is expensive, Temujin called his family a golden family, and stipulated that only the golden family could be the Great Khan of the Mongols. The other Mongols, too, were extremely noble, and became the masters of the pieces of earth, also known as the house tartars. ”

The people in the audience couldn't help but nodded, these days, they have inquired about the Mongolian Tatars, and only some people from outside seem to have some opinions on Chen Yuandong's nonsense. But Chen Yuan would not take into account their feelings.

"Well, later, this Temujin was shot by an arrow in the Western Xia, and after his death, his son went on to send troops everywhere and made the Jin Kingdom the main target of plunder. Why is that? Because the west is vast and sparsely populated, there are not many good things, but the Jin country is different.

This Jin country destroyed Liao back then, and went south to occupy our Tokyo, burned, killed and looted in our Great Song Dynasty, and made a lot of good things. Our imperial court also sends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to him every year, which can be regarded as rich. The Jin people have been pampered for many years, and they have long stopped raising cattle and horses, and they have lost their original fierceness, and they are almost the same as our Han people.

In order to save some effort, the Mongols also contacted our Great Song Dynasty to fight the Jin Kingdom together, just like when the Jin Kingdom invited us to fight the Liao Kingdom together.

At that time, it was Emperor Lizong, who is the grandfather of the current emperor Lao Tzu. He and a group of courtiers were combined, and everyone applauded. We have a grudge against the Jinren. Bi Jingzu was captured by the Jin people, and the capital was still occupied by the Jin State, and he also sent money and food to women every year. If you have revenge, you can't take revenge, but now with the help of the Mongols, there is no reason why you can't beat it.

The emperor of the Jin Kingdom was frightened and cried on the spot, and said to our emperor Lao Tzu, the Mongols are fierce, they are not people! Am I in the way of people in the north? If I'm dead, they're going to beat you. I'm like you now, half a Han Chinese, and I don't want your money, so let's become brothers and fight the murderous Mongolian beasts together. ”

"Yes, this Emperor of the Jin Kingdom Lao Tzu is right. We can't fight wolves and recruit tigers. Someone said.

"This is the reason, but those people in the court will listen to it." Chen Yuan smiled. Qi Ji said: "So our Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols sent troops together, and the Jin State was able to resist and be destroyed." The Jin Kingdom was destroyed, but the Mongols immediately changed their faces, turned their horses' heads and killed our Great Song Dynasty. Our troops who went north to fight the Jin were defeated by the Mongols, with numerous casualties.

In fact, the Mongols have been thinking about us for a long time. Think about it, our land of China, warm and suitable, the wind and rain are smooth, the land is fertile, far better than the cold and dry grasslands in the north, and the land is barren. ”

"And then like that, the Mongols invaded from time to time. More than ten years ago, Temujin's grandson, the Mongol emperor Meng Ge, fought in Sichuan and asked his younger brother Kublai Khan to fight Jianghuai, but fortunately, Meng Ge died in Sichuan, and Kublai Khan was in a hurry to go back to grab the emperor's throne, and hurriedly withdrew his troops, which relieved the imperial court. ”
