Chapter 385: Genghis Khan

Qin Mubai still thought that he was receiving Liu Che or Liu Xiu, or maybe it was Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that the person who came over was actually Genghis Khan.

Strictly speaking, Genghis Khan is not Chinese, of course, that era is not counted, now, there are also Mongols in China, of course, it depends on how to say.

However, Genghis Khan should not be very good at Chinese, but the inculcation of modern knowledge is naturally not too much of a problem.

"Met Genghis Khan. Qin Mubai gave Genghis Khan a salute, as a tour guide in Inner Mongolia, although Qin Mubai is of Han nationality, and most of the population of Inner Mongolia is also Han nationality, but the most introduced by him as a tour guide is naturally Genghis Khan, after all, this man can be regarded as an open man.

Mr. Qin was polite. Genghis Khan quickly walked over and helped Qin Mubai for a while, and then spoke: "I may have to trouble Mr. Qin when I come back this time." ”

"No trouble, that's what I'm supposed to do. Qin Mubai smiled.

"I was surprised to see Mr. Qin's situation just now, did Mr. Qin think it was someone else this time?" Genghis Khan asked with some confusion.

"Well, that's true, I didn't expect it to be the Great Khan. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, you are too polite, you can call me Temujin, you don't need to call me Great Khan, Mr. Qin should be Han. Genghis Khan said with a smile.

Qin Mubai smiled helplessly, and then said: "Historically, the Yuan Dynasty established by your grandson Kublai Khan is also one of the dynasties of China, after all, China has been unified at that time, so although you are a Mongol, there are no Mongols and Han now, there is only one kind of Chinese, the Great Khan walks here, we talk as we walk." ”

"My grandson destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty?" Genghis Khan immediately frowned.

Qin Mubai was a little surprised, isn't this an obvious thing? What's so strange about this, although most of the people who came back didn't know the history behind it, Qin Mubai still roughly explained and said: "Yes, Great Khan, your grandson Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, unified China, established the country name Yuan Dynasty, and honored you as Yuan Taizu, also called Emperor Shengwu. ”

Hearing this, Genghis Khan was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed with emotion: "It seems that my children and grandchildren did not listen to my will." ”

"Testament?" Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, "Great Khan, isn't your will to join the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin? After your death, your son has already completed it, and then the Southern Song Dynasty is left, so it is only natural to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

"No, this is not my will, although the Song Dynasty was left behind when I died, but in fact, I once said, don't destroy the Song Dynasty, Mongolia will never go south. Genghis Khan shook his head dryly.

"Uh, why is that?" Qin Mubai really doesn't know about this, and there is no record of this in history, I don't know if it was because the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty violated Genghis Khan's will or because of something else, but there is definitely no such record.

"It's very simple, the Mongols are the eagles of the steppe, not the eagles of the Central Plains, and the Immortal Heaven has given us the opportunity to rise, but it is not for us to squander ourselves. Genghis Khan shook his head.

"The history of the Han people has been passed down for thousands of years in my time, and there are many nomads who try to rule the Han people, but there is only one result, that is, to be assimilated by the Han people, I am not afraid that my Mongolians will be assimilated by the Han people, but once we enter the Central Plains, the rich life of the Han people will destroy the blood of the steppe eagle, and the Mongolians who have lost their blood will no longer be Mongolians, and the Mongolians will lose the blessing of immortality, and will be overwhelmed by historical occasions. Genghis Khan said in a talking tone.

Qin Mubai was a little stunned, such a statement really didn't make Qin Mubai think about it.

"Do you find it difficult to understand. Genghis Khan looked at Qin Mubai and asked with a smile.

"Well, yes. Qin Mubai nodded.

"Actually, I studied the history of all the countries in the world that I could know at that time, of course, the most were the Han people, from the beginning of the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty, to the destruction of the Xiongnu by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then I found that in fact, no matter who the rulers of the Central Plains were, their influence on the grasslands was very weak. Genghis Khan said with a smile.

"But most of the nomads did not exist for a long time, so I found some well-known scholars and established the Mongolian script, although my life was in the war, but most of the areas I conquered were suitable for nomadic areas, I did not want to enter the Central Plains, because although the Central Plains is rich, but the Mongols are too few compared to the Han Chinese. ”

"It may be possible for a minority to rule a majority, but the end result is assimilation by a large number of Han Chinese, and the continuation of a race is not seen by the strength of the sword, but by the strength of the culture. If after many years, the Mongols lose the blood of their ancestors, they are no longer eagles on the steppe, just like the fat cattle and sheep, waiting only for the slaughter of the shepherds, and only the eagles that have been soaring in the sky, can be inherited and fly forever. ”

"I once told my son and subordinates that we Mongols don't need to go south, as long as we hold this part of the territory we have laid, the Central Plains can be left to the Han people, as long as we can have our own culture, have our own writing, so that our knowledge can be passed on, we can trade with the Han people, learn their knowledge, but we don't need their territory, after many years, we Mongolians will always pass on, because we are eagles on the steppe, we can learn the knowledge of the enemy, and we can exercise our physique and hone our will。 ”

Qin Mubai listened a little hard to believe, really from the perspective of later generations, it is really hard to believe that Genghis Khan thinks so, although this is what he said, there is no historical evidence to prove, but I have to say that the reason why the Mongols can be passed down compared to the Xiongnu is that Genghis Khan let the Mongols have their own writing.

Because only with our own writing, some things can be recorded, we can have our own knowledge, our own culture, and then slowly pass it on.

Qin Mubai thought about it, if Kublai Khan did not enter the Central Plains according to Qin Mubai's request, but only developed on the grassland, at least what would happen if he maintained the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time?

At that time, I am afraid that most of the Han people who had been ruled in the north would gradually move south, which is probably certain, if the Mongols had maintained the life of nomads, I am afraid that the strength of the Mongols would have been maintained. During the Qing Dynasty, the existence of the Mongolian Eight Banners also proves that the Mongol soldiers of that period still had strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the territory ruled by the Mongols still has a lot of territory after the Ming Dynasty. If Kublai Khan had not invaded the Southern Song Dynasty, would there have been Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising? Maybe there were, but the only thing that is certain is that even if Zhu Yuanzhang had revolted from the north, if the Mongols had not destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang's first destination would not be the Mongols, but to the south.

Quite simply, the Mongols did not invade south, and it was very difficult to fight. In fact, although Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, he still consumed too many elite Mongolian soldiers in the war with the Southern Song Dynasty.

Mongolia's population is already small.

Of course, all this is speculation, because history did not happen, and no one knows how it will develop.

However, Genghis Khan's words prove one point, that is, everyone who can achieve great things has their own set of ideas, regardless of whether Genghis Khan's ideas are correct or not, but at least, what people say makes sense.

"Can't believe it. Genghis Khan asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's hard to believe. Qin Mubai shook his head.

"After all, a good man has to build a great cause, this is the idea of most people, and people's desires are endless, and it is difficult for people to control their desires, in fact, at the time of my death, Mongolia's territory was already too big, I am afraid it is difficult to control such a large territory. Genghis Khan shook his head and sighed.

"Perhaps, but we don't have a chance to comment on you seniors, after all, whatever you do, it's unimaginable. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Maybe, but the territory I have laid is already big enough, if my grandson fights the Southern Song Dynasty again...... I'm afraid that the Yuan Dynasty won't last long. Genghis Khan shook his head and said.

Qin Mubai was a little speechless, if it weren't for the fact that people like Genghis Khan didn't need to lie, Qin Mubai thought he knew history.

"That's true, probably less than a hundred years. Qin Mubai scratched his head and said.

Genghis Khan shook his head, but he didn't say much, in fact, Qin Mubai still has a question to ask, there are different statements about how Genghis Khan died in history.

One theory says that he robbed the princess of Western Xia, and then when he was bitten by something, he was directly bitten off, and finally bled more than death.

There is also a theory that Genghis Khan died of illness.

The third theory is that he was killed by an arrow, Qin Mubai once watched a TV series about Genghis Khan, and it was written that he was killed by an arrow.

But there is evidence for these three statements, and they are all unknown, Qin Mubai is also very curious, he wants to know how this died, but after thinking about it, if he asks, will he be directly annoyed and angry? Because if it is the first way to die, it will be too miserable.

Is it the first statement, no one dares to believe it, because the Mongols themselves in that period had the custom of robbing marriage, Genghis Khan's own wives were robbed, and there were cheap children back, so the first theory is also possible.
