Mongolia: We are the Exception!

Raze the city to the ground.
 
Genghis Khan Dead!

166928_5_.JPG


This is a statue we have made near our capital to commemorate the greatest leader Mongolia has ever head. We are unsure of how Genghis Khan has died; some say he fell off of his horse due to physical injuries and fatigue from old age, but others say he was killed by a castration from a woman in a village that he never recovered from.

While it is not known where, at his funeral, after they buried him, everyone at the funeral was instructed to kill themselves, so that no one would find his tomb. We are still looking for to it to this day.

Genghis's son, Ögedei Khan, has taken over our empire.

Because I already selected to put in a mayor before your order

OOC: The question was an RP one. I know why you can't do it in-game (except for WB destruction) but not being able to destroy it doesn't make sense in an RP view which is why Orda questioned your lunacy, not me.
 
And why exactly can you not burn it anyways!

The people are already trying to restore lives and return order. A mayor is already there, razing it now would not give us any benefits, and would destroy the lives of many of OUR people.

We are supposed to be honorable people; not savages!
 
If I can have a horde I would like them to be named the Red Horde and travel West. If accepted I'll try to get some RP in to explain my decision
 
So you shall travel West?

You nor your father said that about Hamheung! It may not help them immediately but it will help their children's children by freeing land for the nearby cities to use which will create a process of urbanization where EVERYONE will be rich and happy! I will burn that city, with or without your permission "Great" Khan!

OOC: No offense intended Noob.

OOC: None taken. This is the kind of stuff I haven't seen people say since RT's America

But in Hamheung we had not set in a mayor! As soon as your troops took the city, we burned it before order could get a foothold.

If you wish to raze Kaifeng, be my guest, but know that you are ruining the lives of many people.


(So it's your choice. If you want, I can WB raze the city, but the people will not be happy. Your choice.)

Do you wish to be Pliped Khan or have another name?

As we have not heard otherwise, welcome Pliped Khan to the ranks.
 
Men, tonight we shall march on Kaifeng again! The spineless "Khan" Ogodei, son of Temujin, has given in to my "requests" for permission to burn the city. Dissenters are to be killed without second thought. Men between the ages of 7 and 50 are to be conscripted onto the front-line to attack Nanjing. Children with less than 7 years are to be sent with their mothers to the city of Xian. For every four women you capture, you may keep one with a limit of ten women. The rest shall be taken to Xian to be kept until the capture of Nanjing at which half shall be "escorted" along with their children to Nanjing. They shall be given back their husbands if they are not dead by then. Elderly women or women who are otherwise sterile who do not make themselves useful shall be immediately killed as they are a waste of precious rations. After the capture of Nanjing, every living complete family shall be given 5-500 sheep, 500-5000 acres of land, and 1000-5000 commercial/non-commercial plant seeds all depending the size of their families, the wealth of their families, and the valour of their men in battle.
 
I remember when the Khan came, our tribe was one of many on the steppes West of Qara Qorum but we had grown in number under the protection of the great Genghis Khan and his empire. In return for his protection our finest warriors had ridden south but we had not heard from them for many many seasons, our tribe grew and prospered and many boys had become men without knowing the hardship of steppe warfare. But this changed when the Khan came.

From the east he rode at the head of his horde, still small as it was back then, in another age this would have caused panic, sent women fleeing and called our warriors to their saddles. Instead a crowd gathered of old men, young warriors barely entering manhood and women eager for news of the outside world, the Khan met us and requested our shelter for him and his horde, eager to oblige we promised a hearty welcome and a feast if he would tell us news of the outside world. The feast would change my life and so many others.

At the feast the Khans warriors stepped forward and told us great tales of our steppe brothers conquests to the South in the lands of the Kitad, of the glory, the honour and the wealth they had secured. I was one of the many young warriors who listened to these tales wide eyed, in awe of the battles and conquests they described, finally after many tales of heroism and glory that set a young warriors heart racing the Khan stepped forward and told an altogether different tale. The Khan spoke not of others past glories but of the glory yet to be won, the glory he would lead his horde to away to the west. When the Khan finished he looked at the warriors and asked if we would not join him and seek our own glories and wealth as part of his horde, those willing were to report at dawn mounted and ready.

When the next day came I was there astride my mount, I had said my goodbyes to my Father, he told me to never forget these steppes no matter where I rode and wished me much glory. I was but one of many from my tribe who rode West with the Khan that day to join what we be known as the Red Horde, boys who would become molded into fierce warriors on our travels. And despite all I have been through since that dawn, I have never seen my tribe again for we left the Mongolian steppes behind us and rode into history.
 
Men, today the city of Kaifeng was razed by Orda Khan. The people were already starting to be shifted back into normal lives by a recently appointed mayor, and things and people were starting to get a foothold; farms, markets, and families in our glorious empire, but Orda Khan has requested to me to raze the city, as he had planned for this.

You may call me spineless for doing this, but I did what I could. To any of the non-survivors of the razing of Kaifeng. I am sorry. I could not prevent this.

But one letter written by Orda Khan was found outside of the buried ruins of Kaifeng.
