During the Song Dynasty in China, due to weakness, the Jin people were beaten by the Jin people and were defeated one after another. Even the Liao state, which was considered the most powerful at that time, was not as powerful as these Jurchens, and just when everyone thought that the Jurchens were going to defeat the Song and Liao to dominate the world, a race that no one had expected came out, that is, the Mongols who were good at riding and shooting, and established the Yuan Dynasty, becoming a well-deserved world hegemon. But in just over eighty years, this foreign dynasty was overthrown by the Han Chinese.
The person who overthrew the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was the Han forces headed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiaobian actually admired him, because he was the first person to successfully establish a dynasty in the peasant uprising, and he was also the first person to win victories from south to north on the land of China. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols who had invaded the land of China were driven back to their hometowns, and they also let their son Zhu Di monitor these people, but they did not exterminate these Mongols!
Of course, at that time, so many Mongols came to the Central Plains, and when they returned, many ordinary ethnic groups remained in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. These people are just civilians, they have not made mistakes in dealing with the Han people, let alone fighting as soldiers, we Han people pay attention to etiquette, these people have not made any mistakes, of course, we can not treat these people like the army. But if so many people stay here, in case they form a force and oppose the rule of the Ming Dynasty, this will not leave a big problem in their hearts!
Thinking of this, because of successive years of war, the population was reduced, especially in the Hebei area at that time, which was even more uninhabited. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang used some means to resettle these Mongols. Wanting these Mongols to become true Ming people, after thinking about it, he issued a will. First of all, let these Mongols go to the frontier and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and then they all take a Han surname themselves, ideologically and culturally identifying themselves as Ming people!
There is also the fact that when these Mongolian men marry their wives, they must marry Han women, not Mongolian women. Because the family environment is the most able to affect a person, there is a Han wife in the family, the habits of the Mongols must be more inclined to enjoy the Han tradition, so slowly affected, generations of descendants, is a real Ming people.
For those Mongolian women, this is especially demanding, not only requiring them to give up their original husbands or father's surnames, but also allowing them to marry Han women, and after marriage, they can only follow their husbands' surnames, and cannot talk about their previous lives in public. In fact, according to the ideas of many people at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's approach was already very benevolent. After all, wars between races usually end with the other side disappearing, and the better defeating side is that both men and women are slaves, and slaves are used for generations!
In general, Zhu Yuanzhang's approach made many Mongols grateful to Dade, because they had previously ruled the Han Chinese so violently. It is already a great fortune to be able to have such a result now. Moreover, the appearance of the Han people is also more liked by the People, and they are even more envious of the life of the Han people, as for the national culture, they did not have such a strong view of the nationality at that time. More importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang's means laid the foundation for the later great national integration!
