In the Ming dynasty, there was an army called Duoyan Sanwei. They are all made up of Mongols. Why did these Mongols willingly serve the Ming Dynasty?

Mongolian cavalry are willing to work for Daming, not because they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, nor because they are convinced of the Ming Dynasty ... They are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and obey its command, just for their own prosperity.

First, let's look at the living environment of Mongolians. Mongols are nomadic people, and most of them lived in grasslands or desolate deserts. In that hellhole, besides singing, dancing and riding horses, other pastimes are estimated to be watching Lonely Smoke in the Desert, Long River Setting the Yen … How boring that would be. On the other hand, in the life of urban people, there is no sand all over the sky, no bad weather, convenient transportation, abundant food and many ways of entertainment ... In this contrast, cities are not only a little better than deserts and grasslands.

Moreover, since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, these Mongolians have moved to cities and become accustomed to the present life. With the demise of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, if they do not choose to surrender, it is estimated that they will go back to their hometown. But if they can submit to the Ming Dynasty at that time, it means that they can stay away from their bitter days, and they don't have to look at the sand and camels in the desert any more, and they can also live a sunny day with money ... So this is one of the reasons why they chose to work for the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang once promised these Mongols that if they were willing to work for the Ming Dynasty, they would be rich and strong. This promise is an exciting condition for many Mongolian cavalry. After all, wealth is the dream life of many Mongolian cavalry. Zhu Yuanzhang is a stingy man. He paid a lot of money to make these people willing to work for him.

Therefore, these are several reasons why Mongolian cavalry played for Daming.
