Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

【At that time, Ogedei tried his best to ensure that his Khanship could be smoothly implemented.

First, he won over his second brother Chagatai, then won over the remnants of the Jin Dynasty such as Yelu Chucai, and also the remnants of the Western Xia headed by Gao Zhiyao, and the most important Han Shihou headed by Shi Tianze.

Only after all the small soldiers and crab generals came together could he finally speak loudly in front of Tolui.

The two sides were deadlocked for two whole years. In the end, Yelu Chucai, who was not afraid of death, confronted him directly, and Tolui reluctantly convened the kurultai.

Temujin died of illness in the autumn of 1227. Ogedei did not become the Khan until the autumn of 1229 through the vote of the kurultai, and the kurultai alone was disputed for forty days.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Tolui to die suddenly at the age of forty three years after Ogedei ascended the throne.

After Ogedei's death, the eldest sons who went on the Western Expedition returned.

As the eldest son of Ogedei, Guyuk found himself in the same problem as his father.

The commander of the second Western Expedition was Batu, the son of Jochi. At that time, he was also strong and powerful. He forced the khuriltai not to convene, so Guyuk could not sit on the throne.

However, because the Mongolian eldest sons received the news in the west and returned for five years, Guyuk's mother, Queen Naimazhen, was in power during the five years. She basically completed the arrangements by rewarding the ministers of the royal family indiscriminately. Even if he was not recognized by Batu, Guyuk still ascended to the throne.

After Guyuk ascended to the throne, he could not wait a second after settling the ministers who were making trouble, and immediately went on a tour to the west.

The "History of Yuan Dynasty" was vague about the content of Guyuk's tour to the west, but even a fool knew that he was going to fight Batu.

But there is a problem here. Guyuk is from the Ogedei faction, and Tolui's sudden death was too reasonable, so the two sides could not sit at the same table at all.

Before Guyuk arrived, Tolui's faction had already informed his elder brother.

There are two versions of Batu's response in the unofficial history. One is that Batu sent an envoy to welcome the Khan who was embarrassed by Guyuk, but was poisoned by the envoy at the banquet.

Another version is that Batu's envoy scolded Guyuk for fighting against his own family and asked for a duel. As a Mongolian, Guyuk certainly couldn't be a coward, and the two died together.

In short, Guyuk died suddenly on his way to the west less than a year after he became the Khan.

Afterwards, Batu also thought about becoming the Khan himself, but less than half of the representatives responded to the kurultai assembly he proposed to convene, and there was still doubt whether his father Jochi was the biological son of Temujin, so Batu finally gave up and recommended Mongke, a descendant of Tolui, to become the new Khan.

After such an operation, the Ogedei Khanate, which was originally orthodox, lost the Khanship, and its ally Chagatai Khanate naturally did not get along with Mongke of Tolui's line.

Mongke himself was nominated by Batu, the leader of the Golden Horde, so he was naturally unable to command the Golden Horde. The final Ilkhanate was basically an enclave that could only be entrusted to govern, and the final split was inevitable.

From this perspective, Kublai Khan made the right choice later. He saw through the essence of the kurultai and chose the Han people's eldest son inheritance system. Therefore, academics generally regard Kublai Khan's rise to power as a sign of the demise of the Mongol Empire in a narrow sense.

Kublai Khan's choice became the most powerful banner for the Mongolian tribes to rebel against Kublai Khan, and the slogan was also very simple:

"The old customs of this dynasty are different from the Han law. (Kublai Khan) now stays in the Han land and follows the Han law. What's the reason?"

This is almost asking Kublai Khan face to face, are you a Mongolian or a Han?

The Mongol Empire has completely fallen apart.

Temujin established the kurultai system in order to "stop killing", but in order to defend this aristocratic democracy, he had to resort to force.

The subtext of this kind of democracy is that whoever has the greater power and the strongest fist is more democratic, which is similar to a certain American country. 】

〖Temujin is wise. He can see at a glance that the descendants of Tolui are all playing Cuju, and he doesn't want to follow Gao Qiu's footsteps.

Aristocratic democracy is not real democracy. Mongolia can only prove that aristocratic democracy is far inferior to aristocratic dictatorship.

It's not that extreme. The productivity of grassland nomads is not good and there are many natural disasters. In this case, the family can live better by sticking together. In this case, the birth of aristocratic hereditary democracy is inevitable. It can only be said that after the expansion of the territory, there was no reform based on local conditions. In fact, it is like a large Jin Dynasty.

This actually also indirectly explains the question that has been asked a lot on the Internet, that is, where was the Mongolian cavalry when Zhu beat the Yuan Dynasty... The several great khanates of Teme were all separated on their own initiative. They didn't bother to care about you a hundred years ago, let alone a hundred years later.

Yes, whether you remember or not is a problem. When the Yuan Dynasty was about to end, the Chagatai Khanate split up, and the later Eastern Chagatai Khanate accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty.

Ah? So, the Mongols died under Temujin?

Silly Chun, you have to remember that you are different from others. You don't have to waste time on studying. Just remember that the Tang Dynasty died under Li Shimin, the Song Dynasty died under Zhao Kuangyin, and the Ming Dynasty died under Zhu Yuanzhang. In this way, you think that the Mongols died under Temujin. It's reasonable. 狗头.jpg.

Laughing to death, let me add one more thing, Confucianism died under Emperor Wu of Han, and China died under Qin Shihuang. Wuhu, all right!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Does this mean that if we don’t build this Ming Dynasty, there will be no Ming Dynasty to die? Isn’t it ridiculous! 〗

For the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the previous ones were normal, and the disputes caused by the kurultai system were also similar to what he saw.

But what does the demise of the Ming Dynasty have to do with him? Although it can be seen that it is a joke from the younger generation, it is undoubtedly poking his lungs.

Especially in front of his eldest son.

Zhu Biao didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Dad, why do you care about these things? If you follow this theory, you will also say that China was destroyed by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Wouldn't the ancient sages laugh at this?"

That being said, Zhu Biao also understood that his father had always wanted to create the best transposition environment for him, which naturally included eliminating all the hidden dangers.

It's no wonder that his father, who holds this mentality, would be angry about this nonsense, but human power is sometimes limited, and the disadvantages are constantly being innovated, so how can they be exhausted? So he simply gave some advice:

"Dad, Temujin wanted Mongolia to last forever when he established the kurultai, but after only fifty years, the brothers started to quarrel. Do you know what kind of person he is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and turned his head away:

"That was Temujin's stupidity. It's fine if the youngest son guarded the stove, but how could he leave a full 100,000 troops? People with sharp weapons are killing, so it's no wonder that Tolui made things difficult for his brothers."

"It's not a lie that Mongolia was destroyed by Temujin."

Zhu Biao was helpless, but fortunately there were other words on the screen at this time.

〖Li Shimin: The Tang Dynasty was destroyed by me. The world is vast and the people are numerous. I can't coordinate the changes of a thousand years and entrust the plans of a hundred years. I am guilty of future generations.

Zhuge Liang: Future generations laughed and said, why should Your Majesty Erfeng and Emperor Hongwu care?

Li Shimin: Wu Hou is right. I just laughed with you. 〗

In Ganlu Palace, Li Chenggan temporarily ignored many things, but instead paid attention to another thing:

"Dad, who is Erfeng?"
