When the Great Khan of Mongolia.

This is of course what Haidu dreamed of, as the grandson of the Great Khan of Ogedai and the leader of the Ogedai clan, Haidu has always believed that he should become the Great Khan. But this matter cannot be said by him, according to the rules set by Genghis Khan, the Mongol Great Khan will hold a Kuritai assembly, which will be elected by the Mongol kings. After Haidu took control of Helin, he sent a heroic post and invited the kings of the Great Mongolian Kingdom to hold a meeting with Helin, but there were few responses. Only the king of the Mongolian steppe gave face to Haidu and promised to come to the meeting. The kings of other places did not squeak at all. Originally, there was also a Golden Horde Brother Bei'er who supported him, but who knew that Brother Bei'er was summoned by the Immortal Heaven, and the Golden Horde was in chaos, who didn't know the next Golden Horde, where would there be kung fu to manage Haidu?

Now Haidu can't even hold the Kuritai Conference, and he is still a great khan? Do you want to learn from Kublai Khan and proclaim himself a Mongol Great Khan? A self-proclaimed Great Khan is not what Haidu wants. But he also knew that he couldn't offend Chen Dexing now, otherwise it would not be a matter of being a big sweat, but a question of whether he would die or not. He laughed loudly and deliberately: "Sage, my Haidu is now the prison state of the Great Mongolia, and it is actually no different from the Great Khan. And this Mongolian Khan didn't say that he could become a king, he had to convene the king of the Golden Family to hold a Kuritai conference. It's going to take a while to prepare......"

Chen Dexing glanced at Haidu and said with a low smile: "King Khan, don't all the kings of Mongolia support you now?" You are going to be the Great Khan of the Mongols, not the Great Khan of the Western Regions, the Great Food, Persia, and Rus. Why the support of the kings who had long since left Mongolia? How many thousand households are there in the Mongolian steppe now? Forty? Or fifty? I also have more than 20,000 Mongol captives in my hands, and they are now working as slaves cutting down trees and building roads...... If the Khan intended to be the Great Khan of the Mongols. I can hand over these Mongols to you. Is it possible to increase the number of households by twenty thousand? There were sixty or seventy thousand households, and 5,000 arquebuses. Isn't it enough to be the Great Khan of Mongolia? ”

20,000 Mongol captives! Haidu took a sharp breath. This is not a small number, and there may not be 20,000 Mongolian strong men under the direct control of him, the Mongolian prison state! With 20,000 captives, he immediately had 20,000 more troops! Coupled with the soldiers and horses of the Wokotai clan and the lineage originally owned by Haidu, 40,000 iron horsemen can also be made, plus 5,000 arquebuses...... Fighting Kublai Khan may not be able to win, but self-protection is more than enough. It's just that how could Chen Dexing be so kind and hand over 20,000 Mongolian prisoners of war to himself in vain? Could it be that there is some conspiracy in it?

Chen Dexing looked at the uncertain Haidu sweat on his face with a smile, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry." I have no ambitions for the Mongolian steppes. For me, there are so many better places in the world than Mongolia. The vast plains of Mingzhou, with fertile land and suitable climate, are a good place to cultivate land. After reclamation, three billion acres of fertile land are ...... There is also the land of Wuliao Province, the black land, the fertile ones can flow oil. Mongolia is nothing more than a desolate pasture.

And. I am not worried about the Mongol threat, because times are different. Now is the era of steel and H medicine, and in another 10 years at most, the Ming infantry will be fully firearmed. Muskets plus cannons...... A peasant trained for months can wield a musket to kill an enemy. The warriors of the steppe have to go to see the immortal heaven when they are hit by a buckshot! The war of the firearms age is simply not something that you Mongols can afford to play. You Mongols are too few to afford the consumption of firearms war! The time when the grasslands threatened the Han land has passed. Gone forever. Actually, what I'm really worried about now is your cousin Kublai Khan! Because he was not a great khan of the steppe, he used to be the king of the northern Han lands. Now he is the Land of the Three Rivers of the Western Regions, Persia and the Great Eclipse, and the Emperor of Rus'. Maybe within ten years. Kublai Khan will also become the emperor of Europa! In fact, Kublai Khan was no longer a Mongol Great Khan, he had completely lost his Mongol traditions. What kind of system he has adopted in the Land of the Three Rivers, you don't know anything about it, King Khan, do you? ”

Hai knows that what Chen Dexing said is not wrong. By the time Kublai Khan was in the Central Plains, he had lost more than half of his Mongol traditions - which was why the kings of the Ogedai, Chagatai and Jochi clans looked down on Kublai Khan. And after Kublai Khan's defeat in the Western Regions, instead of returning to the Mongolian tradition, he intensified his sinicization!

Now Kublai Khan is implementing a half-Ming and half-Song system in the land of three rivers, with the Shijue system plus the Eight Banners system plus Lamaism and Confucianism. Most of the Mongol warriors became shilord landlords. The Han army formed the Eight Banners of military and political integration, which were stationed in various major cities. In addition, Lamaism and Confucianism were also promoted among a group of people who believed in the Heavenly Sect and used the method of taking scholars through the imperial examination.

What he did was completely ruled by the Han Dynasty, and even the way he fought was becoming more and more like the Ming army!

Chen Dexing glanced at Haidu coldly, and said lightly: "Now that Kublai Khan has probably defeated his busy brother Timur, the entire Golden Horde will also become his vassal." It won't be long before the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate will be transformed by Kublai Khan with Han law, just like the land of the Three Rivers under Kublai Khan's direct rule. King Khan, do you think they can still be considered Mongols? His tone was suddenly as cold as ice, and his sharp eyes swept over Haidu and made him feel very uncomfortable. Just when he didn't know how to answer, he heard Chen Dexing suddenly change his tone and become much kinder, "King Khan, why don't you also shoot two shots, try my smoothbore gun, at most ten years, this weapon will replace the bow and arrow......"

He waved his hand at Bao Yin behind her, telling her to prepare a smoothbore gun and hand it to Haidu Khan, while he rode his horse down the mountain. Haidu was still there, pondering his words. Kublai Khan lost his Mongol traditions, and sooner or later the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde would be transformed by Kublai Khan using Chinese law...... But why did Kublai Khan insist on practicing the Chinese law? Is it really because of admiration for Han civilization? I'm afraid not! At this time, Baoyin had already handed Haidu a smoothbore gun loaded with H medicine and projectiles, and Haidu was holding this weapon that could easily take the life of the first Mongolian warrior, and his face suddenly had an enlightened expression.

Haidu suddenly shouted at Chen Dexing's distant back: "Sage, I understand, Kublai Khan is actually right!" Times are different, and the Mongols can't always keep the old rules! It's just going to keep going down...... I'm not a conservative person, and when it's time to change, it will also change! ”

Chen Dexing did not look back to answer his words. The Mongolia of this era is not the Mongolia of the late Qing Dynasty, and it has not been fooled by Lamaism. Kublai Khan, Haidu, and the just-dead Hülegü are all masterpieces of a generation.

It is easy to defeat them, but it is difficult to destroy them completely. Because the biggest difference between these heroes and the fools of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations is that they know how to learn! For a behemoth like Great Mongolia, it doesn't matter if you have a fiasco, as long as you can learn from the fiasco, you can get back on your feet again!

Since ancient times, steppe states such as the Xiongnu, such as the Turks, such as the Mongols, are not so easy to defeat, unless they themselves have decayed.

However, there is nothing bad about this for the Ming Empire, an enemy, and sometimes it is also the driving force for one's own progress.

……

Kublai Khan had entered the city of Sarai by this time. Timur, the busy brother, had already surrendered to him, surrendered his hostages, and renounced the Celestial Sect and converted to Buddhism. He also swore to Changshengtian to follow Xue Chan Great Khan, and also handed over the city of Sarai to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan would stay here for some time, waiting for the arrival of the Nahai Khan, who ruled Western Rus', in Sarai. Then Kublai Khan would canonize Nahai as the Golden Horde, and he would also discuss the conquest of Europa with Nahai and Timur. Kublai Khan knew very well that it would not be okay to invade every few years like a robber, grab something, grab some slaves, and then wantonly destroy it. The Ming Empire in the East was not the same as the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and they would soon have fought in Europa, if the Mongols had not yet established an empire in Europa by then. That would be the end of Mongolian history!

The conquest of Europa is the second chance given to the Mongols by Immortal Heaven, and it must be firmly grasped! Kublai Khan thought so as he rode his horse into the Turkic-style court of Sarai.

Sarai means palace in Turkic. It was once the capital of the Khazars of the Western Turkic system, and the Huns who migrated westward were also nomadic in this area, and then they went to Europa and destroyed the Roman Western Empire, which had dominated the Mediterranean coast for thousands of years - Liu Xiaoyuan brought back many books in Arabic and Persian when he went to the Ilkhanate, and the content was varied, including religion, mythology, art, mathematics, astronomy, and of course, the most attractive to Kublai Khan's Confucian ministers were historical materials. So Kublai Khan knew a lot about European, Persian, Arab, and Turkic history. I know the fate of the Turks and Huns after they moved westward, which had been dominant in history.

After a crushing defeat in the East, both the Huns and the Turks found a second chance in the West! But none of them grasped it well and wasted the gift of immortality.

Now, it's the turn of the Mongols.

The Mongols, like the Huns and Turks, failed in the east and could only look west for opportunities. And the situation of the Mongols was more favorable than that of the Huns and Turks in those years! The Mongols were more powerful than them, possessed more advanced weapons, and possessed weapons that were completely unimaginable to the Western countries. Moreover, Mongolia also has the experience of ruling Han China, the Western Regions, Dashi and Persia. Know how to rule the ignorant aristocrats and peasants of the West. (To be continued......)
