In June of the first year of the Daming Tiandao, Helin City.

This famous capital on the frontier is recognized by the arrogant Great Mongolian Kingdom. In the mid-to-late 13th century in history, with the expansion and conquest of Great Mongolian Kingdom, it almost became the center of the world. Any country and people who dared not obey the Lord of Helin must be prepared to face the most terrifying army and punishment in the world.

The conquest and victory of the Mongolian army brought not only prestige and power to the city, but also countless wealth and slave labor. These slave labor naturally came from civilizations that were destroyed and conquered by the Mongolian army. These warriors, farmers, merchants and intellectuals who were unwilling to surrender in the civilizations, who were "useless to the country" in the eyes of the Mongolians and were often massacred in extinction.

Most of the craftsmen with a skilled skill are "lucky" to save their lives and become slave workers in Mongolia. They are captured back to the grassland and become craftsmen for generations... If they still have the opportunity to leave their descendants!

These slave laborers that the Mongols worked for life, some came from Samar Kan, Bukhar, and Yulong Jiechi in the Mesopotamia Basin, some came from Taoli Temple (Tabriz) in Persia, some came from Baghdad and Damascus in Dashi, and some came from the city-states of Oros. Of course... the most slave laborers in Helin City were from the Han people in the Central Plains!

Han slave labor was the lowest in this city, and there was almost no chance of making a name for himself. They could not compare with the Seme people. They could be promoted from slaves to ministers from the Great Mongolian Kingdom and second-class Seme people who were officials in the Central Plains were mostly promoted from slaves of Mongolian nobles. In history, Ahma, the famous prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, was the dowry slave of Empress Chabi (Queen Kublai Khan).

However, there is absolutely no chance for the Han slave labor to rise, because the Han servants of the Mongolians were either Han marquis or Confucian scholars, and Han slave labor had no chance. They were the lowest-ranking existences of Helin. They could only exchange hard work for necessary resources in life, and it seemed that there would never be a day to make a comeback.

Most of the weapons used by the Mongolian army to conquer the four directions were from their hands. Most of the gorgeous clothes and accessories on the Mongolian nobles were masterpieces of Han craftsmen. Various utensils used by the Mongolians in daily life. If they were not transported from the Central Plains, they must have been created by these Han craftsmen. Even this Helin City, which can be said to be unique and magnificent on the grassland, was also created by Han craftsmen brick by brick.

Just look at the appearance of this famous grassland city and you will know how many Han people have worked hard here.

Helin City is completely Han-style, with square walls, towers with flying eaves and brackets, palaces and mansions with pavilions and towers, and straight and open streets. It seems to be a large city in the Central Plains, standing alone on the vast grassland.

Only the white yurts inside the mansions of the Mongolian nobles in Helin City remind people that this is a Mongolian city.

Summer is the best season for Helin City and the entire Mongolian grassland. Even though the Great Mongolian country is now declining, the summer in Helin City is still noisy and noisy. Caravans from various tribes of the grassland gather here. Teams of camels and teams of carriages and horses are constantly passing through the city. Fur, livestock, tea, ripe iron, salt, spices, and silk cloth are transported here.

However, the good things shipped are much less than before, especially the tea, ripe iron, salt, silk cloth and spices from the Central Plains have been reduced by at least 70% to 80%. And the prices have increased by several times!

This seems to be natural. After all, the Great Mongolia has lost the Central Plains! Xue Chan Khan Kublai Khan's series of defeats had long been spread to Helin, and the news was so bad that it was unattractive. The central Ulus in Mongolia and the four host Ulus worked together to mobilize almost 200,000 warriors with bows and armor. Such troops could completely flatten the entire world in the era of Genghis Khan, but in Kublai Khan's hands, they failed again and again! Almost 100,000 Mongolians were lost in two years, causing every thousand household on the Mongolian grassland to lose thousands of the best warriors, and finally drove out of the Central Plains in shame!

When a series of news of failure reached the grassland, almost all the Mongolians were extremely disappointed with Kublai Khan! If Kublai Khan did not flee to the Western Regions with the Mongolian tribe who was most loyal to him, but returned to Helin, I am afraid that Chen Dexing would not have to send troops to attack him, and he would have been killed by the angry Mongolian nobles.

Therefore, when the army and tribes led by Haidu came from the West, none of the Mongolian tribes belonging to the Central Ulus and Torevorulus on the grassland resisted. Helin City even opened its doors and welcomed the grandson of the Khan of Ogedei to become its master.

At that time, all the Mongolian nobles on the grassland placed their hopes on Haidu, fantasizing about what he was, Genghis Khan, who could lead the Mongols to conquer the flower world of the Central Plains again.

But what happened later disappointed the nobles of Helin. He Lin didn't know what happened. The Tiandaoism that he actually believed in was the religion of the Han people in the south. Chen Dexing, who defeated Kublai Khan and seized the Central Plains, was the leader of the Tiandaoism! Haidu actually believed in the religion of the enemy!

Moreover, it was not only Haidu who converted to Haidu. All the Mongolians and Han people who migrated with Haidu all called themselves "Heavenly Daomen". As soon as they arrived in Helin, they transformed a luxurious mansion that originally belonged to Kublai Khan into a Heavenly Dao Temple, and also made a celestial ball floating on it to fool people. Many Taoists were also sent to spread the "Taiyi Light Sutra" all over the city to pull people into the Tao.

And this Haidu Khan actually proposed at the meeting of the heads of the major households on the grassland that all the Mongolians on the grassland should convert to the Heavenly Taoism!

We must let Tiandaoism replace shamanism and Lamaism and become the national religion of the Mongolians!

Such a "surrender route" was undoubtedly unanimously opposed by the Mongolian nobles in Helin and the heads of the thousand households of the grassland. Haidu, who was just a newcomer, had to give up. After all, the Mongolian grassland is the territory of the Tolei and Central Ulus. The sea where the Ogedei and the Ogedei team have no great influence here. The Mongolian nobles here will not be like the Thousand households of the Ogedei family, and you are obedient.

But in June, when the best season on the grassland came, Haidu Khan, who ruled and forested, once again made a decision that surprised the Mongolian nobles.

Haidu will release all the Han slave laborers in Helin City, give them civilian status, and order all the thousands of households on the grassland to send their Han herd slaves to Helin.

...

"Brother Haidu, have you been in the West for too long and forgot that we are Mongols? We Mongols are the darlings of immortality, the eagle on the grassland, and the bravest warriors in the world. As long as we show our scimitars and bows, we are the masters of the grassland, and we will defeat any enemy who dares to invade north. So we don't need to be afraid of the Han people, nor do we need to please the Chen Emperor in the south! We should show enough toughness to the weak Han people in the south. If they refuse to obediently serve silk, tea, spices, salt, porcelain and anything we want, we will get it ourselves!"

In the magnificent palace in Helin City, Haidu Khan was patiently listening to a few noble people here talking nonsense.

This is his compulsory course every day, because he did not attack Helin as an enemy, but entered Helin as the defender of the Mongolian legal system. Therefore, he is not the monarch of Helin and grassland now, but the theoretical governor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom.

The Great Mongolian Kingdom also had a legal system, while Kublai Khan was an illegal pseudo-khan. Therefore, the Haidu occupied Helin and immediately abolished Kublai Khan's throne (theoretically, Kublai Khan is not even a pseudo-khan now), and then managed the grassland in the name of a state of regent and prepared for the Kuritai Conference. Therefore, we must patiently listen to the Mongolian officials and nobles in Helin and not put them all in prison.

The person who is talking nonsense is Boer Ge Jin. Asutai is the son of Mengge Khan. After Mengge died, he supported Alibuge. After Alibuge was defeated by Kublai Khan, he returned to Lin Xiangqingfu and did not participate in the fierce battle with Chen Dexing, so he didn't know how powerful it was.

However, Haidu knew very well how powerful Chen Dexing was. Because he had just received the news from the Three Rivers Land, Kublai Khan defeated Aluhu on the banks of the Huzhang River, and now he is the Lord of the Three Rivers!

Aruhu, who was defeated by Kublai Khan, had been suppressed by the entire Ogedei squad, and Chen Dexing was better than Kublai Khan, while Kublai Khan was better than Aruhu, and Aruhu was better than Hai... After such a comparison, Hai Du certainly knew that his strength was not enough to be seen in front of Chen Dexing.

It is a dream to go to the Han area in the south to grab things! There are only two ways to maintain the situation in Helin. One is that everyone will endure hardships together, just like the Mongols before Genghis Khan's rise; the other is to please Chen Dexing... Of course, you must master the right measure and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, because he is now the governor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom and represents the entire Great Mongolian Kingdom. So what Haidu can do now is to enter the Heavenly Taoism and release Han slaves from Helin. The former is nothing more than religious beliefs. The latter is nothing in Haidu's opinion, because Mongolia can no longer obtain a large amount of raw materials from the Han area. Without raw materials, what can the craftsmen in Helin do? What is the meaning of raising these people?
