Zhu Yuanzhang: "Yuan lost the world with forgiveness." In history, was the Yuan Dynasty really "lenient" as Zhu Yuanzhang said?
Yes, at that time, the laws of the Yuan Dynasty were very tolerant to ordinary people. According to historical records, Kublai Khan once told ministers that if he ordered the killing of a person, they would not follow his instructions first, and then asked him how to deal with it three days later to avoid killing the wrong person. Moreover, when Kublai Khan punished the prisoner, he would beat him three times less, saying that heaven and earth and he pardoned the prisoner. Moreover, in the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, there were no prisoners sentenced to death, and criminals who committed the most heinous crimes were all locked up.

If parents are alive, some prisoners can go home to visit their parents under the supervision of the warden. The Yuan Dynasty only punished those who opposed national policies. After being punished, they will be released, and they can't extort confessions by torture when they are detained. If it is necessary to use punishment, they must ask their superiors. It can be seen that the laws of the Yuan Dynasty were very tolerant, and the most important thing was that the Yuan Dynasty did not force the people's thoughts, so the Ming Dynasty was indeed very tolerant compared with the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, a scholar once wrote an article about the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty, in which he wrote a very detailed story about the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Jiuzu was exterminated by the emperor, and the lightest punishment for the parties was beheading. However, the scholar did nothing, and another person openly insulted the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and was prosecuted by the court. As a result, officials said that freedom of language could not be used as evidence of his rebellion.

Because of the leniency of the Yuan Dynasty, the civil war never stopped, and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty did not have all the political power. In the end, such a tolerant country is going to die.
