September 22. Sunny and light wind.

I saw Beijing. No, it was Dadu. Li Luo told me that the Mongolians could not even call it "Dadu". They called it "Khanbali", which means "City of Great Khan". Haha, Khanbali.

I have been here many times before, but today I feel so strange.

The day before yesterday, when Li Luo and I crossed the Great Wall, he pointed to Chengguan and told me that this is the famous Shanhaiguan, now called Yuguan.

I saw that the soldiers on the city gate were obviously Mongolians.

The Great Wall was built by the ancestors of the Han people. The Han soldiers guarded the Great Wall for more than a thousand years and were guarding against the barbarians in the north. But now, the soldiers on the Great Wall have become barbarians.

Suddenly I felt it was particularly ridiculous, sad, shameful, and pitiful.

I saw Yanshan, and looked dark from afar. In a trance, I seemed to be sitting on the train again, looking at Yanshan.

Why, there is clearly that land under my feet, but I have no joy at all.

I suddenly remembered that when I crossed the Yalu River three days ago, many tribute girls and eunuchs knelt on the riverside and looked south to Goryeo and cried because they could never go back after crossing the river.

At that time, Li Luo's face looked ugly. He asked a tribute girl why you cried? Is it because you will never see your parents and family again, or to never go back to Goryeo again?

The palace maid replied that she was crying to never see her family again.

I noticed that Li Luo was relieved. But he was worried. He asked several more tribute girls and eunuchs, but the answer was that he could not see his family.

So Li Luo's face became much better.

He quietly told me that they all cried for their families, and no one cried for Goryeo. What does this mean? This means that Goryeo can be conquered in the future.

This man, because the tribute girl eunuch "crying in the river", was considering conquering Goryeo in the future. It's really...

The rural areas of North China outside the capital are not desolate. However, I saw large yurts. The fields that were supposed to have food were covered with grass. From time to time, you could see groups of cattle and sheep, some people who were obviously Han people were... grazing.

I was so drunk that I didn’t know, and I thought I was outside the border.

Alas, I have written so many diaries, and I burn them every time after I finish writing them. This is not a diary, it is a writing poem and burning manuscript, damn it.

When will the diary I wrote no longer need to be destroyed, and it is the time for true safety and freedom. Men, you have to work hard.

…………

On September 22, the 17th year of Zhiyuan, the King of Goryeo personally led a delegation to celebrate his birthday to Dadu.

The Ministry of Rites beat the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in front of the emperor.

The emperor issued an edict, and the crown prince and officials from the Ministry of Rites welcomed the capital Bei'anzhenmen. (The Yuan Dynasty was actually completed in 1285. Before that, the capital of Jinzhong was still the main city, and Kublai Khan still lived in the Daning Palace of the Jin Dynasty. But for the sake of the simple plot, this book is considered to have been completed by Dadu)

The crown prince personally went to the city gate to greet him. The arrogant Mongolians could not give the King of Goryeo. The one with the face was Kublai Khan's daughter, Princess Anping.

To put it bluntly, it was Kublai Khan who sent his son Zhenjin to welcome his beloved daughter who had returned from afar.

Marrying his daughter to Goryeo fully demonstrates Kublai Khan's favor for this woman. Other daughters have not married the lord of a country as the queen, let alone the King of Goryeo is so obedient.

The etiquette in the early Yuan Dynasty was rough and far less so than that in the Song Dynasty. Queen Goryeo took a cavalry and abandoned the delegation and rushed directly to Anzhen's door.

Li Luo followed her, looked up at the majestic and magnificent capital, and felt a lot of emotion.

This is a huge city that Liu Bingzhong designed and built in 18 years by hundreds of thousands of migrant workers. At this time, the capital was the world's number one city greater than Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Rome.

It is the third city in the history of the ancient world, second only to Chang'an and Luoyang.

Compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were slim in later generations, most of them were undoubtedly much more generous.

Unfortunately, it is not the capital of the Han people, and the Mongolians do not even call it Dadu, but "Khanbali".

This is... the wolf nest. It has been more than three hundred years since the Khitan, but it has not been a Han city. It was first from the Khitan, then from the Jurchen, now from the Mongols, and later from the Manchus.

Around this seemingly great city, the vast North China Plain is full of pastures and former Han people who have become slaves everywhere.

Almost every day, people resist, escape, and are executed. Many people do not even have names. Some of them are names such as 49, 89, 84, and 42. Their common name is "Dakou".

Many people's Chinese clothes and hair have turned into hair and braids. Many Heluo's Ya language have turned into Hu's accents in the North.

The original master became the third or even the fourth. They called their master a Mongolian official, Hui Hui master, and called themselves slaves.

Most of their labor income must be paid. The harsh government is more powerful than the tiger, and the cruel officials are as cruel as wolves. How can they live in a hurry and can only be lost in the world and break the hearts of people.

In the Yuan Dynasty, refugees accounted for one-third of the total population all year round, and white bones were killed, and they have been in the Tao for decades.

Criminal cases related to them were not even judged, not included in the law, and had no files, and were directly dealt with by the master's lynching. Then, experts in later generations believed that the Yuan Dynasty "leniency and prudence in punishment and law" and "legal progress".

The man, known as the "monarch of the four directions", "the great emperor", and "the khan of the khan", he, Borjikin Kublai Khan, lived in his Khanbali City, sat on a high throne, listening to the cries of hundreds of millions of Han people, pretending to show kindness.

That man was a model of conquerors in the early colonial era in the world. He did what all grassland nations had not done for thousands of years. Rather than saying that he was the emperor of the Central Plains, he was far better than saying that he was the Khan of "the descendants of all gray wolf and red female deer."

Li Luo lowered his head to conceal his emotions.

That's it, only God knows what will happen in the future.

The guards at the city gate saw the princess's flag and let the queen and her cavalry pass without asking.

Such a situation would not exist in Kaifeng or Lin'an in the Song Dynasty.

This is not because the Mongols who were guarding the gate were too careless, but because they had enough confidence.

When Prince Dayuan Zhenjin brought officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet his sister, he was stunned. Because the princess had already entered the city, she was afraid that she would have entered the palace now.

Prince Zhenjin knew that his sister had entered the city, so he went back to the palace and left the officials of the Ministry of Rites to pick up King Goryeo.

Therefore, when King Goryeo led his delegation to Anzhen Gate, he only saw a few officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Not to mention the crown prince, even other princes, no one came to pick him up as the dignified prince consort and the king of a country.

King Goryeo's face immediately couldn't be stopped. Even the deputy envoys Jin Fangqing and Li Qiang felt a gloomy on their faces.
