In this episode, we peel back the layers of Kublai Khan’s surveillance state in Dadu. While previous episodes covered his military failures and architectural grandeur, we focus on the Shumi Yuan, the secret police force that kept the Mongol elite in check. We explore how Phagspa, the Tibetan monk who designed the national script, was also a key architect of the regime’s intelligence apparatus. The conversation delves into the role of Ahmad Fanakati, the Persian administrator who managed financial audits that doubled as political purges, and Bayan Yeseuer, the head of the censorate who enforced strict loyalty oaths. We examine the tension between traditional Mongol Yassa laws and the complex bureaucratic reality of ruling China, highlighting how fear and information control were as vital to Kublai’s power as his cavalry. Listeners will discover the specific mechanisms of the Yuan surveillance network, from informant networks among the Semu people to the suppression of dissenting voices like those behind the Wan Shou Wu Jiang text. #History #FexingoHistory #KublaiKhan #YuanDynasty #ShumiYuan #SecretPolice #Dadu #Phagspa #AhmadFanakati #BayanYeseuer #MongolEmpire #ChineseHistory #SurveillanceState #CentralAsia #TibetanMonk #PersianAdministrator #YassaLaw #Censorship Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
