Mongol+Mangos

A local old man who is asked about how he felt about the Mongolian Empire.

Ah, life now with the Mongols as the rulers sure gets me down. When I was younger, the Mongols were nothing more than a race of nomads, living off of their horses to survive and living in the desert. They didn’t have houses; instead they lived in horse-haired tents called yurts. They needed tents because they were constantly moving around. They didn’t farm like the rest of us. But even though their groups were small in size, they sure could put up a fight with their little ponies and bow and arrow skills. I heard that their leader at the time was some Chingis Khan. Oh boy, when he came into power, the song dynasty fell just like that. Then, that terrible man took over.

It was after that moment in time, when the great and terrible Changis Khan took over after the Song dynasty, the world seemed to bow down to him. One after another, he conquered more and more areas, like Northern China, Turkistan, Afghanistan, Persia, and Russia. That man's ways of battle were feirce. He often drew the blood of innocent women and children, and word of the Mongol's bloodthirstyness spread like wildfire. Just mentioning the Mongols could bring people down to their knees in fear. Don't even get me started on the way the Mongols are acting now in days. After all the war was over, the Mongols actually reopened the Silk Road. Such strange people. They are bloodthirsty suckers who took over the world, and yet they tried to restore peace. But the Silk Road showed us something amazing about the Europeans: they were much more far behind in technology than us. All the gizmos that the Chinese invented that European people hadn't even seen, like the spinning wheel, or the compass, benefited them greatly. The only thing that we got from those Europeans was that dang Black Death. Nearly got me too, that Black Death did. Ah, how the life under the Mongolian rule get to me. .
