The inheritance of the throne of the Central Plains dynasty itself is full of struggle and blood, and it may even lead to war. Zhao Bing, who has experienced the dispute over the throne, also has a deep understanding of this. In the complex situation, the two sides fought openly and secretly, and were conspiring to threaten with force. He was also prepared to seize the throne with armed forces. Although he did not reach this point in the end, it was thrilling and maintained the stability and unity of the dynasty.
However, Zhao Bing also saw that the temptation of power is too great. For it, those who are cowardly will be jealous and eager to try it. They will be influenced by Confucian culture and pay attention to orderly seniority and orderly will give up family affection and elegance, and will fight to the death. However, although the throne of the Central Plains dynasty is also full of blood, it rarely leads to the division of a country. The inheritance of the Khan throne of nomadic people is not only accompanied by blood, but also often leads to the division of nations and territories.
Zhao Bing felt that finding a markup was nothing more suitable than the Yuan Dynasty. Their Khan inheritance was a history of the division of the Mongolians, at least at this stage had not changed. Now Kublai Khan modified the rules of passing the throne according to the Han system, and relied on his strong "personality" charm and prestige, especially his ruthless iron fist, which suppressed the kings forcibly passing. But now Kublai Khan died early, and the prince of Zhenjin had been in charge for many years but failed to gain real power. Zhao Bing hoped that their tradition would be best to continue.
The Mongolian Khanate implemented a feudal system, and feudalization can be divided into two categories according to its nature. The first category is the domestic and domestic property-style feudalization of the Golden Family. From the theory of clan society, the entire Khanate should be jointly owned by the Genghis Khan family. The so-called "When Emperor Taizu first started to the north, his brother and younger brother discussed and decided to take over the world, divide the land and share wealth and honor" meant this. According to the tradition of the Mongolians to distribute family property, Genghis Khan divided the state's subjects and army into several parts and distributed them to the children. The recipients re-established the tent in their own division with the "emperor's blessing".
Unlike family feudal divisions, Genghis Khan had another type of feudal division for his heroes and nobles, including exemption of taxes and service, reduction of punishments and other privileges, granting thousands of households, tens of households, kings, etc. For tribes that actively surrendered, Genghis Khan often granted his leader, and led his old subordinates, and his marriage clan also formed several thousand households in the form of old subordinates. The meritorious officials formed their respective tribes. Although this kind of feudal division is one level lower than the distribution of the golden family, it has a strong dominance over the tribes due to hereditary positions, so it still maintains relative independence and can evolve into a lord.
According to the fiefdom of Genghis Khan, the fiefdom of the eldest son Shuchi was from Haiyail to Khwarezm; the fiefdom of the second son Chagatai was from the west of Uygur to the middle of the river; the fiefdom of the third son Ogede was in the upper reaches of the Thir River in Yeer and Yemili. Their descendants were called the right-hand kings or the western kings according to the customs of the Mongols.
The youngest son Tolei inherited the palace tent between Genghis Khan from the Onan to the Chilurlian River; his younger brothers Beli Gutai divided the land in the lower reaches of the Chilurlian River; his Hechiwen divided the land north of the Jinchao border fort; his eldest brother Hasar divided the land in the Ergun River and Hulun Lake; his younger brother Timugoochijin's divided the land east of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, and their descendants are commonly called the Left-hand kings or the Host kings.
After breaking the tribal boundaries, the structure of the feudal nomadic state was further improved, and the Mongolian Khanate accumulated powerful strength. Subsequently, the Mongolian nomadic nobles launched a series of conquest wars on the grounds of pursuing enemies, which continuously expanded the territory of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, and the fiefs of the kings and other kings made several adjustments. However, both the property distribution and the kindness of the feudal divisions were highly independent. Generally, when the Khan was in power, the Khan could effectively control the vassal ministers and vassal divisions; once the Khan's power declined, the Lord's Russ often did his own thing, and even fought against each other for the Khan position.
Genghis Khan died in the battle to siege the Western Xia Kingdom. During the reign of Mongge, in addition to the original fiefs of the clan kings and nobles, the areas directly under the Khan were divided into three parts: the eastern regions, and the Chinese and historical materials were called the Shangshushu Province of Yanjing and other places, and the Mahamudou and Yalawachi were appointed to manage; Turkestan, the Hezhong Zhucheng, the Weiwuer Zhucheng, the Fergana, the Khwarezm and other places were called the Shangshushushushu, and the Mashutibo was appointed to manage; Khrasan, the Jadare, the Iraq, the Faersi, the Diyabek, Mao Xili, the Helebu and other places were called the Shangshushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushus
In addition, Mongge sent his eldest brother Kublai to manage the Han area, and at the same time sent his second brother Hulagu to manage Persia and other places. As his assistant to control the left and right wings of the East and West, the taxes in the above areas were all handed over to the Khan's treasury, and as the common wealth of the golden family, they were managed and dominated by the Khan. This shows that the Khan of the whole Mongolian country had the right to obey his vassal state to collect materials, but in fact, the Khan could not do so as he pleased.
The subsequent death of Mongge Khan triggered a dispute over the throne between Kublai Khan and Alibug, which also caused the conflict between the Golden Family to accumulate four generations. Although Kublai Khan defeated Alibug, his status was not recognized by all the clans as the Khan of Mongolia. At the beginning of the war, Berge, the King of the Khanate of the Khanate, sent envoys to both sides to persuade him to reconcile. Although Aluhu of the Chagatai Khanate showed favor to Kublai Khan, he did not obey him and actively occupied the Hezhong area under the jurisdiction of the Khanate Khanate. Hulagu preferred Kublai Khan, but hoped that Kublai Khan would recognize his legal status in founding the country.
Therefore, the price of Kublai Khan ascended the Khanate was to promote the division of the Mongolian Khanate. Although the Shuchi Khanate did not publicly deny Kublai Khan's status, he no longer obeyed his rule. The Ili Khanate was the only Khan that recognized Kublai Khan's status. However, Hulagu did not authorize the establishment of Persia under the jurisdiction of the former Khan. The relationship between Hulagu and Kublai Khan was rather an alliance than a subordinate. As for the Chagatai Khanate and Ogedei Khanate, they did not recognize Kublai Khan's self-proclaimed Khan. The expansion of the Chagatai Khanate to Central Asia was no longer controlled by the nominal Khan Kublai Khan...
What Zhao Bing learned from his childhood in his previous life was that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty included North China, Central Plains (Jin Dynasty), Tubo, Liaodong, Goryeo, North Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, Eastern Europe and other places, and was the largest empire in the world so far. Historical documents often refer to the rulers of the Khanate, the Ili Khanate, the Ogedei Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate as the "Northwest Kings".
When Zhao Bing first arrived in this world, he was trembling in his heart when facing such a superpower. Even if he defeated Kublai Khan, his brothers and others would not be able to watch. If he raised an army to support him, he would have to fight against the four major sects. This was simply a small world war, with his current strength, he would be tortured all over the ground in minutes.
Now after walking around this era, I found that the real history is all pseudo-history that was whitewashed by those literati. The four major Khanates of Mongolia only nominally respected the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty as the sect leader and regarded themselves as "a vassal country", but in fact they had a semi-independent or independent status. Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty on the basis of inheriting Mongolian land, the old border of the Jin Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom, and later annexed the Southern Song Dynasty to form a new territory of the Yuan Empire.
Because the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty held the title of the Great Khan of the Mongolian Khan, it was recognized by the four Western Mongolian Khanate in several historical periods, which often made people mistakenly believe that the Yuan Dynasty was the successor of the Mongolian Khanate; the Chinese literature of the Yuan Dynasty, deliberately emphasized the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty, criticized the "rebellion" of the kings of the northwest, and implied that the kings of the northwest should be subordinate to the Mongolian Khan (Emperor Yuan), etc., all of which blurred the relationship between the Yuan Dynasty and the four major Khanate.
Although the relationship between these Khanate countries and the Yuan government is close and alienated, it is different from the relationship between countries today. Generally speaking, Ili Khan and the Yuan royal family are both descendants of Genghis Khan's fourth son Tolei, and their relationship is the closest. The relationship between the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedei Khanate and the Yuan government has gone through a complex process of change, while the Qincha Khanate is the farthest away from the Yuan Dynasty and has long tended to be independent. Because of the barriers of the separatist forces of the Haidu, their relationship with the Yuan Dynasty is relatively distant.
During the Genghis Khan era, the Khan throne was strong and fashionable, and he had to abide by the rules. When the Khan's power was weak, he could not violate the tradition. In fact, traditions such as the clan deliberation system, family property distribution system, and military democracy in nomadic society have always encouraged the independence of the Khan lord or fief Nayan when the Khan's power was weak. After Mengge, Guiyou and Kublai Khan fought for the throne in succession, the Khan's authority had been further weakened. Kublai Khan not only failed to regain the Mongol Khan throne, but also completely led to the Khanate's split.
Therefore, Zhao Bing thought that the first battle for the Khan throne broke out in the Mongolian Golden Family could be regarded as a battle between Genghis Khan's sons, the second time was a battle between the Tolei family and the Ogedei family, and the third time was a battle between the Tolei family brothers, so this time could be regarded as a struggle within the Kublai family. Because the descendants of other gold families can basically be regarded as independence, and who is the emperor of the Yuan Empire has little to do with them.
Zhao Bing judged from this that as long as his power does not touch Mongolia's mainland, other khanates will not participate, and they also have their own problems within it, so it is still unknown whether they can send troops in time. At present, his battle is only involved in Jiangnan and there is no direct conflict with them, so there is no need to worry about the four major Khanate groups in Mongolia sending troops to interfere.
However, Zhao Bing hoped that Kublai Khan's sons would fight hard. According to his analysis, there were at least two ways of going up to the kings of each sect to stand on the side of the real gold. First, his old opponent Huantuo, who was favored by Kublai Khan and was named King Zhennan, but his luck was not very good. First, he suffered repeated defeats and failed to eliminate the remnant Song. He was ordered to go to Cham City and Annan, but returned in defeat and lost tens of thousands of troops. Tuohuan was punished for not being allowed to pay homage to the emperor for life and moved to Ezhou.
Although Huantuo was not eliminated, the only way to meet him was to show that he had lost Kublai Khan's favor and was expelled from the heirs of the Khan throne. Moreover, his military power was mostly limited to his direct subordinates, and he could not transfer troops unless he was ordered by the court. This time, he could lead his army north to attend the meeting of the king of the clan, and he must have received the order of real gold to be able to complete the journey.
Zhao Bing was basically sure that he had also received the promise of real gold, otherwise the real gold would not have let Huantuo lead his troops for no reason and add a rival to him. Tuohuan held more than 30,000 households in Jiangnan and occupied the most prosperous place in the Yuan Dynasty. It can be said that with Tuohuan's support, the real gold would be invincible. He could only cut off the financial support for each sect king to make them surrender.
Another sect king who would support real gold was believed to be Yeshen Timur, the king of Yunnan. In the decades after the Mongols conquered Dali, the sect kings who had left Yunnan were not limited to one branch, but were mainly changed between the three divisions of Yunnan King Hugechi, Liang King Ganmala, and Xiping King Aolu. In the fifth year of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan named his sixth son Hugechi the King of Yunnan and left the Halazhang area. At that time, Yunnan had no provinces, and military and political affairs were presided over by the Marshal's Office.
The king of Yunnan left the Yunnan region and became the highest military and political chief in the local area, but soon Hu Gechi was poisoned to death. Later, the Yuan court established a province and regained Yunnan. In the 17th year of Zhiyuan, Hu Gechi's son Yesen Timur attacked the king of Yunnan. The Yuan court ordered Yunnan provinces to not discuss military affairs and granted them absolute military leadership. However, his lack of knowledge about military affairs led to a great defeat in the expedition to Myanmar. He was in a stage of waiting for crimes. If he could not find a strong backer, he would be replaced by other sect kings. This group would fade out of the center of power, and at this moment, the real gold became their life-saving straw and would definitely support him to succeed the throne to preserve his power.
Another one that could have an impact on the succession of the Khan throne by Zhenjin was King Anxi, but there was no big obstacle to Zhao Bing's regaining Jiangnan. In the ninth year of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan granted his third son, Binkola as the King of Anxi, and granted Jingzhao as the fiefdom and the royal palace. The following year, he was given the title of King Qin, and gave it another gold seal, one vassal and two seals, and the two palaces were opened together, and the status was supreme. This was not only a close relationship between father and son, but also a need to guard Hexi.
The King of Anxi stationed his troops in Liupanshan, lived in Chang'an in winter, and moved to the Kaicheng Palace of Liupanshan in summer. At that time, the Mongolian and Song dying in Sichuan were confronted by each other in Sichuan. In addition to being responsible for the Western defense of Chahe Taitung invasion, Anxi also presided over the war in Jinchuan. In the 17th year of Zhiyuan, Bengela died of illness. His son Annanda succeeded to the throne and commanded 150,000 troops to garrison the western border line of the Yuan Dynasty. It was an important force for the Yuan Dynasty to resist Chahe Taihou King.
Anxi area is close to Shangdu, and no matter which side Ananda tends to fight, it will become an important bargaining for the Khan throne. Of course, Zhao Bing hopes that they will fight to the death, and even imitates his predecessors to divide the territory and become kings independently. He also sees that the reason why the real gold ignored the "mobs" in Jiangnan and insisted on summoning his brothers and nephews to Shangdu, one was his desire for power; the other also showed that his contempt for himself and could not recognize the current situation, and wanted to seize the Khan throne and then look back to deal with him.
