Chapter 338: Genghis Khan's Ambition (2)
When the curtain was removed, I saw that on the wall in front of me, there was a majestic military drawing ~~~~
The so-called military drawing is not an ordinary art painting, but it is more accurate than painting.
It is a common thing in the tent of kings and generals, in ancient times, I didn't think about the current scientific and technological exploration equipment, so the spies used their lives to explore and record everything outside, and find professional painters to draw military drawings, which are full of control of the entire territory of the country or frontier, as well as the direction of the next expedition, and even the outlook for the area to be conquered, etc.~~
Military drawing does not pay attention to the form of painting, nor does it pay attention to decoration and aesthetics, but mainly focuses on the measurement standard and clear status, just like the current military strategic map, a mountain and a river, a grass and a tree, and even a soil bun is indispensable ~~~
Chen Zhi once saw a map of the Qing general's conquest in the late Qing Dynasty in the unearthed tomb of a general in Shengjing, on that map, the area of the entire Shengjing area was drawn very obviously, that street, which shop, that residential area, including the secret passages in the garrison points in the region, and the location of the garrison, were very clearly controlled.
However, it was the first time Chen Zhi had seen such a majestic super-large military drawing in front of him......
The grandeur of this military map lies in the fact that it planned the entire world in detail, including Chinese mainland at that time, Russia in the north, the islands of Southeast Asia, and Africa and Europe far away.
It is estimated that this is very difficult to do in the world now, and it is hard to imagine that in ancient Mongolia a thousand years ago, it was ~~~~ that this kind of map was drawn
This seems to be a vision map, in which all the regions are painted with grass, that is, Genghis Khan's dream at that time was to turn the whole earth into a steppe, with herds of cattle and sheep everywhere he went, and the iron hooves of the Mongols leveling everything.
In the Central Plains of China, there are some images of symbols of the Han people, who are dressed in the costumes of the Song Dynasty, but they are all painted with red pens and large red crosses.
The meaning of this red cross is self-evident, and it seems that in Genghis Khan's mind at that time, he was not prepared to let the Han race stay.
Not only the Han people, but also many ethnic groups have been drawn with big red crosses on this vast territory, most of which have become extinct, and some only exist in the legendary minority country, Wuxian country; Dongren country, Rouran country; and the famous country of the white people.
If this map is now brought to the eyes of the world, it will definitely subvert the worldview of the historical world.
Everyone will find out that these legendary peoples were real at that time, but they were later trampled under the horses by the iron hooves of the Mongols, and they were exterminated from then on~~~
And there are many ethnic groups in the region, all of which have been turned into cattle and horses, they are prostrate on the ground, if the cattle and horses are farming, there are still some ethnic groups still standing, looking like civilians ~~~
This proves that in Genghis Khan's heart at that time, the attitude towards various nationalities was different, some he did not hate, so let them be commoners, and some he was more disgusted, so let them become cattle and horse slaves!
And one thing is very obvious, that is, Genghis Khan has no mercy for the Han race~~~~
"The ...... of those who can levy good and beg, but are brutal and conceited",
The old somersault looked at the magnificent picture in front of him, and sighed softly:
"Just like when I studied Genghis Khan, this person is not simple, and he is strong-willed, without any fear, very conceited and cruel~~~~
If you have read his biography, you will find that this man, as a human being, has too little humanity, he killed his own brother at the age of eight, pierced it with an arrow, and then cut the bone with a sharp knife, despite the other party's pleading, which is unimaginable for a child ~~~
This man has not known fear all his life, nor has he known mercy, nor has he known fear.
Nomads believed in immortality, but Genghis Khan didn't even fear the gods, he believed only in himself......
At that time, after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it was divided into four ranks.
First class: Mongols.
They were of the highest rank and were intended to preserve the privileges of the Mongol nobility.
Second class: Color-eyed people.
It mainly refers to the people of the Western Regions, who were the first to be conquered by the Mongols, such as the Kipchak, the Tang Vultures, the Wu'er, the Huihui, etc., in addition, some of the tribes around the Mongolian Plateau that were attached earlier also belonged to the Semu people, such as the Wanggu tribe. Since the time of Genghis Khan, they have married a large number of Mongols, multiplied, and ensured their rights ~~~
Third class: northerners.
It refers to the Han, Khitan, Jurchen and other ethnic groups in the territory of the former Jin Kingdom north of the Huai River, as well as the people of Sichuan, Yunnan and Yunnan who were conquered by the Mongols later, and the Goryeo people in the northeast are also counted as northerners.
Fourth Class: Nanren (Han Chinese)
It refers to the Han people of all ethnic groups in the former Southern Song Dynasty who were finally conquered by the Mongols, who had the lowest social status, the poorest life, and were subjected to multiple oppression and discrimination.
At that time, the life of the Han people was unimaginably miserable, and there was not even family and human rights, and when their women got married, they had to be given the right to the first night by the Mongolian nobles, otherwise they would be beheaded by the whole house~~~
Many women came back pregnant after being spoiled by the Mongol nobles when they were newly married. Therefore, the Han people at that time did not know who the father of the first child was the newly married daughter-in-law, so in order to ensure that the bloodline was clean, and also because of the hatred of the Mongols, they had the habit of falling to death for the first child~~~~
This cruel custom was maintained until after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, hey~~, what a crime!! ”
When the old somersault said this, he shook his head helplessly,
"Such a person would actually issue a stop killing order because of Qiu Chuji's admonition! see
What an extraordinary character to come to this hill......"
"It's so cruel......",
Hu Meng looked at the magnificent mural in front of him, and there was a trace of guilt on his face.
"I didn't expect my ancestors to be so cruel!!
I've heard about these things before, but I always think it's a bit exaggerated, and I even think it's a fabrication of the Central Plains people slandering the Mongols later.
After all, who knows what happened so long ago? I didn't expect the reality to be even more cruel than the legend! I, a Mongolian, shouldn't be so cruel and ruthless......"
"Not all Mongols are ruthless ......",
Chen Zhi patted Hu Meng's shoulder,
"Don't forget, at that time, it was Yelu Chucai who desperately met him, and many young Mongolian princes tried their best to protect it, so that the bloodline of the Han people was left~~~
There are also people among the nomads who have compassion, but this great Mongolian khan, Temujin, is too ruthless......"
