A long time ago the Mongols ruled（统治）China. The Hans wanted to force the Mongols back to Mongolia, but they could not find a way to organize their army. Everywhere they went, the Mongols watched closely.

Worst of all, the Mongols forced every twentieth Chinese family to give shelter to one Mongol soldier.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a hero of the Han people. He wanted to overthrow（推翻）the Mongols. He had already led several uprisings（暴动）, but he had been defeated. He was talking one day to his adviser Liu Bowen.

“It’s nearly time for the Mid-autumn Festival,” he said. “We still haven’t been able to drive the Mongols away. I’m very unhappy about it.”

Liu Bowen did not reply. He was thinking about moon cakes. People would exchange moon cakes at the Mid-autumn Festival.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued, “The Mongols will be watching every move we make. They will be in the houses when we go to greet our friends. They will listen to everything we say. How can we organize our army? How can we overthrow them?” He looked at Liu Bowen, “Why aren’t you speaking?” he asked.

“Moon cakes,” said Liu Bowen. “That’s the answer. Moon cakes.”

“I think you’ve gone mad,” said Zhu Yuanzhang, “How can cakes be the answer to a problem like this?”

“Do you think that the Mongols will object if we give our friends moon cakes?”

“Of course not,” said Zhu, “We do it every year. They’re quite used to it.”

“I have an idea for passing information without the Mongols knowing anything about it,”said Liu Bowen. “We’ll put a message into each cake telling people when to attack.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted. “What a good idea!” he said. “The Mongols will never suspect anything.”

Their people worked very hard to make moon cakes for the Han people. Into each moon cake they put a little piece of paper. Then it was wrapped in waxed paper so that it would not be spoiled.

When the Han people received their moon cakes, they soon learned the time and date of the attack. The Mongols suspected nothing.

At last the night of the attack came. The people in the city rose up and killed the Mongol soldiers living in their houses. The Han people won and the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown. At last the Ming Dynasty was set up in 1368.
