Genghis Khan's son reveals the secret of a generation of arrogant Genghis Khan's son

Genghis Khan's son: Borzygitkin? Temujin, the founder of Mongolian Empire in history, is an outstanding politician and strategist in world history. During his reign, he launched many wars of foreign conquest, starting from the Black Sea coast of Central Asia in the west and reaching Europe in the east. Next, let me explore Genghis Khan's son. Speaking of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, people should be most familiar with Genghis Khan, who only knew how to shoot an eagle with a bow, and Kublai Khan, who made his capital the capital and changed his country name to Yuan. So many people take it for granted that Kublai Khan is the son of Genghis Khan. In fact, they are separated by a generation, and this generation is of course the son of Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan recorded four eldest sons, namely Shu Chi, Chahetai, Wokuotai and Tuo Lei. Some of their fathers and sons once supervised the country, some succeeded to the throne as Mongolian Khan, and some marched to the west, creating a golden tent khanate (also known as Qincha khanate) comparable to the Mongolian khanate. Everyone had a wonderful, tragic or absurd life experience.

Although Shu Chi is the eldest son of Genghis Khan, his birth has always been controversial. At that time, when Genghis Khan Temujin was not strong enough, his wife Martai was captured by the enemy's beggar and forced to be someone else's wife. A few months later, with the help of Jamukha and Wang Han's army, Temujin wiped out Meiere's begging department, Kyle Polo was able to return to Genghis Khan, and Shu Chi was born on his way home. Because it took nine months from the capture of Polotai in Kyle to the birth of Shu Chi, there have been different opinions about whether Shu Chi was conceived before or after the capture of Polotai in Kyle, but Genghis Khan, who has a deep sense of righteousness, treated Shu Chi and other sons equally and never abandoned them.

12 13, Mongolian soldiers attacked the state of Jin in three ways. Shu Chi, the second brother Chahetai and the third brother Wokuotai led the right army to attack the counties of Li Anyun, Dongsheng, Wuzhou and Shuozhou on the west and east sides of Taihang Mountain. 12 18, Shu Chi led the troops alone to quell the resistance of the tribes such as Gillikis. The following year, he participated in the Western Expedition, led his troops to capture the Signa River, Baer Town (both located in present-day Kazakhstan), Felt (located on the north bank of the Syr Darya River) and other places, and then jointly captured Yulong Jiechi (now Urgensh, Turkmenistan), the capital of Huala Zimo. Later, due to the intensification of the conflict with Chahetai, Shu Chi returned to his division and his fief without authorization-from the Qincha grassland to the vast area of Khorezm.

1227, Shu Chi died, and his second son, Badou, succeeded to the throne as Khan with the support of his brothers.

Badou is one of the most outstanding military generals in Mongolian history. After he inherited his father's business, he led the young kings of four families on an expedition to Qincha, Russia, Poland, Hungary and other countries in 1235. After more than ten years' efforts, Batu conquered the above-mentioned countries (Hungary was not completely conquered because of the death of Wokuotai Khan), and finally established a vast territory from the Irtysh River in the east, the Caspian Sea in the south, Daur Ross in the west and the upper reaches of the Volga River in the north.

Chahetai is the second son of Genghis Khan, but he always regards himself as his father's eldest son and Shu Chi as a "beggar bastard", which is also the main reason for his disagreement with Shu Chi.

Like Shu Chi, Chahetai made great contributions to the elimination of gold and the neutralization of the Western Expedition, so Genghis Khan gave him the grassland area west of Uighur to Amu Darya (roughly equivalent to the present Xinjiang area). This is the Chagatai khanate in history.

1226, Genghis Khan went to Xixia and Chagatai was ordered to stay in Daur, Mongolia. Although Chagatai was at odds with his eldest brother Shu Chi, he got along well with his third brother Wokuotai, so after his father Genghis Khan died, Chagatai took the lead in supporting Wokuotai to sweat, and personally took the lead in holding a ministerial ceremony. After Wokuotai ascended the throne, Chahetai, as his brother, has always maintained courtier etiquette, safeguarded Khan's dignity, and was deeply trusted by Wokuotai. In addition, Chahetai is familiar with laws and regulations and is strict in law enforcement. Wokuotai respects him. Whenever there is a major event in the khanate, he will send an envoy to discuss it first and then take action after obtaining the consent.

124 1 May, Chahetai died of illness for seven months. Later, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan saw that his grandfather, father, uncle and uncle all had the title of emperor. With sympathy, he posthumously named his second uncle Chahetai Emperor Zongzhongwu of Yuan Dynasty.

The contradiction between Shu Chi and Chagatai made Wokutai brilliant ―― Genghis Khan didn't want to hurt his eldest son Shu Chi, and he didn't want Chagatai to disapprove of Shu Chi's eldest son's position in his mind, so he passed the position of Khan to his third son Wokutai in his will.

Surprisingly, Wokuotai, the successor appointed by Genghis Khan, failed to successfully ascend to the position of Khan, because the Kuritai system (tribal meeting system) in Mongolia was still in operation at that time, and Wokuotai had to wait for the final decision of the Kuritai Congress. During the two years when the throne was vacant, Genghis Khan's youngest son, Tuo Lei, was the regent, because according to the old Mongolian system, his father's property should be inherited by his youngest son.

Two years after Genghis Khan's death, that is, in the autumn of A.D. 1229, the Curiti Congress was successfully held, at which the election of the new Khan became the most important topic. Some princes and ministers advocated sticking to the old system and establishing their youngest son Tuo Lei, while others advocated following Genghis Khan's legacy and establishing their third son Wokuotai. At that time, Genghis Khan's eldest son, Shu Chi, was dead, and the second son, Chagatai, fully supported the third son, Wokutai, and the younger son, Tuo Lei, fought alone, so after forty days of marathon meeting, Wokutai won the final victory.

Wokuotai can become the heir of Genghis Khan, and also benefit from his character and ability. He "assesses the situation", makes fewer mistakes, is fair and prudent, is good at making decisions, and is generous and charitable. He is the most administrative among the four brothers and enjoys high prestige among the military and civilians.

In the early and middle period of Wokuotai's rule, with the help of the famous Lu Ye Chu Cai, he perfected the laws and regulations, appeased the people, destroyed the state of Jin, and explored Europe in the west, which shocked the whole Eurasia, so that there was still a question in the history papers of American high schools: What would happen to Europe if Wokuotai had not died? Try to analyze it from economic, political and social aspects.

However, Wokuotai is actually a very complicated person, and his cruelty, tyranny, greed and debauchery are also prominent, especially in the later period of his rule.

Wokuotai committed many atrocities during the election campaign. It is said that as many as 20 million soldiers and civilians died under his command, and the famous Central Asian cultural city-Hualamozi was destroyed by his hands. In his later years, Wokuotai gradually indulged in debauchery and pleasure, and became an arrogant and dissolute bad king. As a result, the public was furious and the whole country was uneasy, and he eventually died of excessive debauchery.

Wokuotai's cruelty is also manifested in his cruelty and ruthlessness to his brother Tuo Lei.

Tuo Lei, the youngest son of Genghis Khan, fought with his father since childhood and had outstanding military talents. In A.D. 12 13, 20-year-old Tuo Lei led an army to capture Dexing House (now Zhuolu County, Hebei Province) of Jin State, and then followed his father Genghis Khan to conquer Xiong, Ba, Mo and Hejian counties in Hebei, Shandong and Henan. In A.D. 12 19, Tuo Lei and his father Khan led the main force in the Western Expedition. They crossed the desert and the Amu Darya River and occupied most of central and southern Central Asia.

In A.D. 1 127, after Genghis Khan's death, Tuo Lei was allowed to temporarily supervise the country according to the ancestral system in order to inherit the Khan's position when the new parliament was convened in the future. However, at the Curritai Conference, because the second brother Chagatai firmly supported the third brother Wokutai, Tuo Lei finally followed Genghis Khan's legacy and established Wokutai as the throne of Khan.

Tuo Lei once ruled this country and controlled 80% of the Mongolian army. Therefore, even if he admits Wokuotai's position as a great Khan and is willing to be the right-hand man of the third brother, Wokuotai, who is very scheming, still has a bad feeling towards him and regards him as the biggest threat to Khan.

1230, in the second year of Wokuotai's succession, Tuo Lei and Wokuotai divided their forces to attack Xu Jin. In the winter of 123 1 year, on a snowy night, Tuo Lei wiped out the main force of 8 Jin Army in Zhou Jun (in present-day Yuzhou, Henan Province), seized various counties in Henan Province, and then crossed the river from Zibaipo with the Wokuotai Army to celebrate the victory.

Tuo Lei's brilliant achievements have aroused more and more suspicion in Wokuotai. On the surface, the intricate fundraising and toasting cover up the floating killing heart of Wokuo Terrace.

On the way back to North Korea, Ban Shi pretended to be seriously ill, and Tuo Lei came to see him. Wokuotai arranged for the wizard to recite incantations and wash Wokuotai's diseases in the water cup. To show his love for his brother and Khan, Tuo Lei picked up the cup and prayed for Wokuotai's early recovery, and drank the water in the cup to get rid of the disease. Soon, Wokuotai resumed, and Tuo Lei left and returned to the camp. But a few days later, Tuo Lei died inexplicably, because Wokuotai ordered the wizard to poison the cup that Tuo Lei picked up.

Wokuotai on the bed in Wolong saw that Tuo Lei drank poisonous water, and of course there was a cruel, insidious and terrible smile on his face, but he didn't have the last laugh. Tuo Lei, who was killed by him, had the last laugh, or more accurately, Tuo Lei's wife and sons.

124 1 year, Wokuotai died of lewd drinking. As soon as he died, his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson fell into a chaotic state of fighting for power and interests and tearing each other apart, making home unlike home and country unlike country. In the end, the Tuo Lei family, which had been working hard, sprang up, and Tuo Lei's eldest son, Mongo, was sweating in the Golden Tent khanate. After Mongo's death, his younger brother Kublai Khan succeeded to the throne smoothly. This is the famous Yuan Shizu in history, who has made outstanding contributions and lived a long life.

Xu Liewu, another son of Tuo Lei, is also very promising. With the support of his two brothers, Mungo and Kublai Khan, he wiped out the black grain in Baghdad and established the State of ilhan, starting from the Amu Darya and Indus rivers in the east, Asia Minor in the west, the Persian Gulf in the south and the Caucasus Mountains in the north.
