Ögedei Khan did die, but the exact time is not clear, and it may have been summer. For some reason, the top brass of the Mongol Empire dragged on until the struggle for succession became fierce, which led to the incident.

The question of the Khan throne of the Mongol Empire, since the death of Genghis Khan, has been a big landmine. If there is a powerful figure like Genghis Khan, this mine will not explode, and if the successor is not able to convince the public, then the power of this mine will be great.

Genghis Khan himself is to blame for this, when he took the lead in breaking the old Mongol rules in order to balance the balance between his sons and their supporters' families, and instead of passing the throne to his younger son, he personally appointed Ögedei to inherit the throne. This is the root of all evils, once the rules are broken, even if it is only once, there will be no rules, future generations will learn the same, can have the first time can have a hundred times, this is a simple truth.

Genghis Khan had a total of five sons, and later generations said that the Mongol Empire had four songs, which meant four masters, and that was only four of his five sons, and the remaining one was a concubine. See, the problem of descendants and concubines not only exists in the Han people, but also in other ethnic groups. These four concubines were all born by the eldest queen's son, the eldest son Jochi, the second son Chagatai, the third son Wokotai, and the fourth son Tulei. Another concubine was named Kolejian, this person is not recorded in history, after Ogedai succeeded to the throne, he followed his eldest sons to the west, but died near the Volga River.

Let's talk about the eldest son Jochi first. Jochi means sudden, unexpected in Mongolian. Why did you give your son such a name? The reason is simple, this son is not in the blood of Genghis Khan. When Genghis Khan had not yet unified Mongolia. He was often chased by the enemy all over the grassland, and even his wife, the later queen Po'er Ti, was captured by the Mi'er beggars, and was later robbed back by him by borrowing troops from others.

The wife snatched it back, but trouble followed, and not long after returning home, Polti gave birth to a son to Genghis Khan. But this time is a bit suspicious. At that time, Genghis Khan's power was still relatively weak, and it didn't matter if he had a green dot on his head, but he was definitely not very happy in his heart, so he gave his eldest son such an unlucky name.

But not being afraid of being a cuckold doesn't mean that Genghis Khan doesn't care about it, he hasn't always liked this eldest son. On the one hand, it is because of the bloodline, and on the other hand, Jochi himself is too gentle and unwilling to kill too much, which is a taboo for Genghis Khan. At the beginning of the business, if you don't kill people, people will kill you. How can such a cowardly eldest son be liked by Genghis Khan, who kills people without blinking? In the words of later generations, it is a mismatch and a misfit.

After Genghis Khan became the Great Khan of the entire Mongols, according to the character of his four sons, they were assigned different tasks. The eldest son, Jochi, was in charge of hunting, which was not just hunting, but a traditional ritual of the Mongols, a bit like the habits of the later Qing Dynasty, all of them were nomads. The second son, Chagatai, is rigorous by nature. In charge of Zaza, that is, the law. The old three nests are bold. is very able to win people's hearts, so he is responsible for taking charge of the government. The old son, Tuolei, was brave and an expert in war, so he naturally took charge of the army.

This is not an apocryphal work by the author, but in the Persian Prime Minister Rasht's "Collected History. In the Biography of Ogedei, Genghis Khan's public evaluation of his sons is recorded. Here's what he said:

"Those who have boundless aspirations. Can be attached to Jochi; Those who want to be proficient in zaza, rules, laws, and biric (a collection of sayings and aphorisms of kings) go to Chagatai; Those who like generosity and want to get rich can go close to Wokotai; Those who pursue bravery, honor, martial arts, and the country and the world will serve the tow mine."

It can also be seen from Genghis Khan's remarks how much he dislikes and distrusts his eldest son Jochi. What is a person with boundless long-cherished wishes? You might as well just say that you want to follow the rebels of Jochi.

According to the Mongol custom, the son should be given a fief, which is called Ulus in Mongolian, just like the sons of the Han people have to divide the family when they reach adulthood. Moreover, the Mongols also have a rule, that is, to give fiefs according to the order of their sons, and the older the fief, the farther away.

Before Genghis Khan's death, he had already set up the fiefs of his sons, which were divided into four in total, but they were different from the four Mongolian khanates in later generations.

The predecessor of the Kipchak Khanate (Golden Horde) was the fiefdom of Jochi, which was in the westernmost part, and in order to appear fair, Genghis Khan said that as long as the Stone River (Irtysh River) was crossed, wherever the Mongol horse's hooves could go, it would go to Jochi. It is estimated that Genghis Khan did not expect to go all the way to Eastern Europe, and he drew a big pie for Jochi at the beginning, but he did not expect the western expedition to be so smooth, and as a result, Jochi's fiefdom was the largest.

The predecessor of the Chagatai Khanate was the fiefdom of Chagatai, located in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, from Xinjiang in the east to the Amu Darya River in the west, and probably in the southwestern part of Xinjiang, northwest Tibet, and part of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Later in the Chagatai Khanate came a famous man, the lame Timur.

The predecessor of the Ögedai Khanate was the fief of Ögedei, and according to Mongol customs, his fief was the closest to Mongolia, just north of Xinjiang and into Russia, and he was the smallest of the four sons. If you have the right to inherit, you naturally have to make concessions elsewhere, which is fair.

The fiefdom of Tuolei is Mongolia itself, the area is very large, second only to the eldest brother Jochi, from the central part of Xinjiang to the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, the north of Jin, including part of the original Liao State, all belong to Tuolei.

Genghis Khan not only gave his youngest son the largest fief, but he was also eccentric in other aspects. At that time, the total number of Mongol troops was only 130,000, and Jochi, Chagatai, and Ogedai were each assigned 4,000 troops, that is, 4,000 troops, and Tuo Lei was divided into 100,000! See? Only more eccentric eyes, not the most eccentric eyes, this custom of loving the old son has not changed since ancient times, the croppers are like this, and the emperor is also like this.

Of course, Genghis Khan did this not only because he was spoiled, but also for other reasons. Of his four sons. Jochi and Tuolei have a good relationship, and Chagatai and Ogedai have been talking since childhood. Originally, Genghis Khan wanted to pass on the throne to the second eldest Chagatai, but Chagatai's eldest son and Genghis Khan's favorite grandson was killed in battle during the Western Expedition, and Chagatai had a stubborn personality, and his relationship with Jochi was almost to the point of tension.

In order to prevent the two sons from fighting after his death, Genghis Khan still passed the throne to Ogedei, who is the best at being a man and has the best popularity. The reason why it is not given to drag mines. It is also because Tuo Lei and Jochi are too close, if Tuo Lei is allowed to succeed to the throne, Chagatai is estimated to be very uncomfortable. As a father and the head of a country, Genghis Khan still considered it comprehensively and took care of almost all interests. Tuolei lost the throne, but got almost all the Mongol troops, so that after Ogedai succeeded to the throne, he could not unite with Chagatai to bully the other two brothers, and the small balance was very accurate.

The truth is also as Genghis Khan predicted. Ögedei inherited the throne of Khan, although the process was a bit bumpy, violating the customs of the Mongols, but finally ascended the throne peacefully, and the four brothers did not turn their faces on the surface. In fact, Jochi was dead at this time, and his fief was inherited by his son Batu. Soon Tulei also died, some say that Ogedai was killed by witchcraft, but according to historical records. Tuo Lei died of excessive drinking, and it is estimated that the liver is cirrhosis.

The fief of Tuo Lei was inherited by his son Möngke. This is the later Yuan Xianzong Meng Ke Khan, that is, the one who died under the Diaoyu City during the southern invasion. To say that Tuo Lei should be the most similar to his father Genghis Khan, not only like a war, but also similar in the number and quality of the sons he gave birth. Genghis Khan is known to have four melodies, and Tuo Lei also has four powerful sons.

Meng Ke Khan, who snatched back the position of the Great Khan from the Wokotai system, is the eldest son of Tuolei, and there are even more powerful ones in the future! Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, was the second son of Tuolei. The remaining two sisters-in-law are not weak. One is called Hülegü is the third son-in-law, and the other is Ali Buge is the fourth son-in-law.

The youngest Ali Buge is also the most toss-up, when his brother Kublai Khan called himself the Great Khan in the Central Plains, others have not objected, he was the first to jump out and quit. pulled a part of the nobles who opposed the sinicization of Mongolia to elect himself as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and fought with his brother in the south and the north. Of course. In the end, Ali Buge was defeated by Kublai Khan.

Hülegü may not be familiar to everyone, but this name went to the Middle East, and it was a god-like existence. It was he who led his troops all the way to Egypt and wiped out most of Iran, Iraq and Turkey. If he could have worked harder back then, Americans would be happiest now, because it is a question of whether the Green Church can stay.

In later generations, the Ilkhanate, known as one of the four great khanates of Mongolia, was established by Hülegü, and it is estimated that this buddy thought that his two elder brothers and one younger brother are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they stay together, they may die one day, so it is better to take the soldiers out to grab the territory. Grab more and eat more, grab less and eat less, and deserve to starve if you can't grab it, who makes us incapable.

Historically, these khanates were nominally subordinate to the Yuan Empire, and only later did they slowly separate themselves and even fight. However, due to the arrival of Hong Tao, history has been mixed up. The Southern Song Dynasty was not only not destroyed by the Mongols, but became more and more energetic. The Mongol Empire was dug a big hole by Hong Tao, its national strength was greatly damaged, and it was no longer able to invade southward.

If Ogedei Khan is still alive, with his second brother Chagatai, these two people have a red face and a black face, and those Mongolian princes who are not very comfortable do not dare to speak against each other. Now that Ögedei is dead, some Mongol princes who were not very happy with Ögedei as a Great Khan really can't bear it, and the first to rebel against the Mongol Empire is Batu on the Russian border.

After the eldest son of Jochi received the news of the death of Ögedai Khan, he immediately made a decision, not to fight the western expedition, but to directly transfer the troops, turn back to Chen Bing on the eastern border of his own fiefdom, and then declare his fiefdom independent. In the future, the Kipchak Khanate will no longer listen to the dispatch of the Mongol Empire, and whoever likes to be the Great Khan will not care, he will play by himself behind closed doors.

Now the Mongol Empire is really in chaos, Chagatai has been ill since he was ransomed, and there are disputes in his fiefdom, the Balu Rasi Department supports the eldest grandson of Chagatai as the heir, and the Qiyan Department wants to establish the second son of Chagatai as the heir, and no one on either side is convinced of anyone, not to mention that he followed the eldest son of Ogedai Guiyou to crusade against Badu together, and his own family is still uneven.

In recent years, due to the will of Genghis Khan, he has been in the west and south, and the strength of Ogedai itself has also weakened very much, and it is impossible to rely on your family to pull out the capital. But the strongest Tuo Lei family can't count on it, they have a good relationship with the Jochi family, and now it would be good if the four sons of Tuo Lei could attack Guiyu with Batu.

The current form is that one of the four fiefs is independent and one is in civil war, and the position of the Great Khan is basically abandoned, leaving Guiyou and Meng Ge with their own advantages. Nominally, he was the eldest son of Ögedei and the designated heir of Ögedei Khan. Meng Ge has the advantage in strength, although after Tuolei's death, his family's army was transferred a lot by Ogedai Khan, and finally they were thrown on the sea and did not come back, but if it really started, it was not in vain to be able to fight these four words.

However, there is not much gap between the two sides, and the strength of Guiyu's fief is not as strong as Lei Lei, but he has an important help, that is, Prime Minister Yelu Chucai. In this struggle for the throne of Khan, Yelu Chucai firmly stood on the side of Guiyou. He controls a lot of northern Han armies and Jin troops, and if Meng Ge's side really starts a war with Guiyou, he may not be able to beat Guiyou and Yelu Chucai.

At this time, if you look at the map, you will find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the Southern Song Dynasty, which was previously beaten by the Mongols, actually turned into an important factor that could influence the battle of the Mongol Great Khan.

If the Southern Song Dynasty and Guiyou could reach a tacit understanding at this time, and not to move their troops and not launch the Northern Expedition, then Guiyou and Yelu Chucai would use the population and materials in the Yellow River Valley to slowly grind and kill Meng Ge's side, after all, there is enough grain production and population here, and Guiyou is not short of horses.

If the Southern Song Dynasty could reach a tacit understanding with Meng Ge's side at this time, they didn't need to send troops to play the Northern Expedition, they only needed to make a posture of the Northern Expedition, then Yelu Chucai would have to draw more troops back to guard against the Southern Song Dynasty, and there would not be many people who could help Guiyou. Let Guiyou and Meng Ge PK alone, or Meng Ge's winning chance is bigger.
