Tuo Lei was the youngest son of Temujin, and according to the usual practice, he stuck to the Mongolian base camp of the Troubled River and slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of Zhongxing Province.

Seeing that Yang Guangye and Chahan came into the tent without asking for instructions, Tuo Lei looked gloomy: "What are you two here for?" Didn't you say that the slaves of Zhongxing Mansion should be damned, and not a single one will be left? ”

Yang Guangye knew that Tuo Lei was right, although he was a concubine, but as soon as the Great Khan died, the three brothers (the eldest brother was dead) ran their own territory, and he was an outsider who interfered too much in the government and had many inconveniences.

He cautiously admonished: "Fourth brother, at present, the Jin Kingdom has not yet been captured, and the Zalandin forces of the Khorezm Kingdom have revived, and they have rebelled in the old land of Khorezm, and our Mongolia needs more manpower and financial resources to consolidate the vast territory......"

Tuo Lei said: "Mu Huayang, this prison country calls you brother-in-law, it is to respect you, you are a little artillery commander, and it is not your turn to teach me a lesson!" ”

Torrey's words were clearly xenophobic, warning Yang Guangye not to point fingers, so Yang Guangye didn't say more.

Observing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly said: "Lord Jianguo, what Master Ma said is not unreasonable. No matter how large the territory is, it is difficult to sustain it if there are not enough people. The most important thing is to risk death to admonish, forget hatred, stop the slaughter of the city, pacify the people, restore the economy, and stabilize order. Please think twice! ”

Tuo Lei pondered: Yes, since my father Khan became emperor of the difficult river, how many Mongolian warriors have been killed in the east and west, and how many cities have been razed to the ground, is this the so-called way of heaven? The Mongolian iron cavalry has swept through, and the mourning is all over the wilderness, is this the so-called humanity? He also felt that his father Khan was sometimes swayed by hatred and lacked charity. He was silent for a while, and said to his brother-in-law Yang Guangye and Chahan: "You guys go out, I understand what I should do." ”

The next day, Tuo Lei ordered the whole army to stop the massacre, posted a proclamation, bereaved the families of the victims, prohibited endless killing, and severely punished violators. The people of the prefectures and counties of Zhongxing Province finally did not have to worry about being afraid, and the fleeing crowds returned to their homes. The surviving people were very grateful to the two generals and spontaneously went to their camps to give thanks, and sent rice, chickens and ducks, special products, and so on.

Yang Guangye and Chahan both refused one by one: "If you want to thank you, you have to thank Lord Jianguo, we just did what we could." Folks, please go back, go back. Going back and rebuilding your home is the best reward for the people of the prison country. ”

These ordinary people were grateful, knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and a leading civilian old man said: "Thank you, two generals, thank you, Lord Jianguo!" We are just cows and horses, and we can't get anything in return. In the future, if we can use our place, the general will give orders. ”

Yang Guangye helped the old man up: "Old man, I have received the kindness of the villagers." Take everyone back and live a good life. The unification of the country needs to wait, and when the Great Khan rules the world, the people can live and work in peace and contentment! Led by the old man, the crowd gradually dispersed.

In 1229, after the Mongol throne had been vacant for two years, the Mongols held the Kuritai Congress. The conference was controversial for 40 days, and some people in the court adhered to the old system and advocated the establishment of a young son, Tuolei, to oppose the legacy left by Genghis Khan.

Although he had the strong support of his mother, the eldest brother Jochi's eldest son Batu and the second brother Chagatai fully supported the third brother Wokotai, and Tuo Lei was at a political disadvantage, so he had to support Wokotai as the Great Khan.

The shrewd Wokotai has repeatedly pushed and conceded, and several times let the virtuous not be in place. After repeated urging and persuasion from the nobles attending the meeting, Ögedei finally obeyed his father's will, adopted the advice of his brothers, and promised to inherit the throne and govern the entire Mongol Empire.

After Ogedai came to power, he ordered people to strictly abide by the decrees formulated by Genghis Khan, and all those who committed crimes after Genghis Khan's death were pardoned, and future crimes were still punished according to law.

After succeeding as Great Khan, Ögedei continued his father's legacy to expand his territory, went south to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and sent Batu on expeditions to Europe, during which he expanded his territory to Central Asia, North China, and Eastern Europe. During his reign, he appointed the Khitan Yelu Chucai as the Zhongshu Order, adopted the Han method, and opened the department to take scholars, reused the Central Plains people, and laid the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the autumn of 1230, Wokotai and Tuo Lei led the army from the desert to the south, entered Shanxi, crossed the Yellow River, joined the Shaanxi Mongol army, and took Fengxiang (now Fengxiang County, Shaanxi).

In the spring of 1231, the Mongol army broke through Fengxiang, and the Jin State gave up the territory of Jingzhao, held Tongguan, and retired to Henan. Under the continuous attacks of the Mongol army, large areas of territory such as Hezhongfu, Dasanguan, Hanzhong, Jinzhou, Fangzhou, Junzhou, Dengzhou, and Bianjing fell one after another.

Tuo Lei led the army and 350,000 elite Jin troops to fight at Sanfeng Mountain, and almost completely annihilated the Jin army. In this battle, Tuo Lei showed outstanding military talent, and while achieving himself, he attracted the jealousy of the third brother Wo Kotai. Tuo Lei controlled 80 percent of the Mongol army, amounting to 120,000 people, and had solid military strength, which has always been a hidden danger for Ögedei to stabilize the Khan position. If the mine does not die, Ogedei will not be able to sleep steadily, so the Mongol Khan began to design to suppress his brother.

On the way back from the Jin Guoban to the north, the harsh and poisonous Wokotai pretended to be a ghost, pretending to be sick and dying, and the tow thunder in the dark served by his side.

The barbarian sorcerer recited a spell and put the sickness of Ögedai in a wooden cup. Full of love for his brother, the kind-hearted Tuo Lei prayed with a cup and prayed for a speedy recovery of Ogedei. Yang Guangye was also on the side, witnessing the whole incident, but he definitely did not poison and persecute the mines.

It is also said that after Tuo Lei drank the curse water in the cup in one gulp, in less than half a stick of incense, Wokotai's illness was miraculously cured, and his spirit was very good.

Seeing that Wokotai could walk freely, Tuo Lei got up and took his leave. A few days later, in the middle of summer, during the march, Tuo Lei died inexplicably, and Ogedai took the opportunity to take the army of Tuo Lei into his own hands and cut off the threat of the Torre family.

In June 1233, Jin Aizong fled from Guide to Caizhou, and the Mongol general Tachar led his troops to besiege it. The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty thought that the opportunity to take revenge on Jin had come, so he sent 20,000 troops and 300,000 stone of grain to help the Mongols attack Caizhou. Under the attack of the Song and Mongolian armies in the north and south, the Jin State was attacked by the enemy.

In the spring of 1234, the Song army broke through the southern city, the Mongol army broke through the western city, Jin Aizong hanged himself in Youlanxuan, the Jin State perished, and the Southern Song Dynasty, which had been aggrieved, finally took a bad breath, but the "friendly" relations between Mongolia and the Song Dynasty did not last long.

In 1239, the army of the "eldest son's western expedition" led by Batu wiped out more than 100,000 and wiped out Kipchak, Burian and other countries.

The Batu tribe also returned to the lower reaches of the Li River in Ye, where they opened a curtain to celebrate. During the banquet, Batu believed that he was old, and drank one or two glasses of wine at the banquet. Guiyou and Buli were not convinced, and they got up and scolded, and their words were extremely vicious.

When Batu heard this, he was very angry, and he wrote a letter to report it to the Great Khan of Ogedei. When Wokotai heard this, he was furious, and sent a decree saying that in the future, you should not be allowed to pay homage.

Meng Ke and Alchi (the eldest son of Genghis Khan's younger brother Hechi Wen) and others who were present said to Ogedei: "Genghis Khan once said in Japan that 'the affairs of the army are decided from the outside, and the affairs of the family are broken from the middle'. The affairs of Guiyou and others belong to the military, and it should be judged by Batu. ”

These few sentences are very decent, firstly, they will not make Wokotai embarrassed for the punishment of nobles, and secondly, they will also give Badu enough face. Wokotai adopted the advice of Meng Ke and handed over the noble cause to Batu to deal with.

As the commander of the Western Expedition, Batu thought to himself: I can't severely punish the crown prince for this battle of words, right? Since the Great Khan gave me a step down, it is better to accept it when it is good. Therefore, Batu just asked Guiyou to apologize in front of his uncles and brothers. But from then on, Guiyu and Batu formed a deep enmity.

After Wokotai died of illness in November 1241, his empress Naima Zhen reigned for four years and sent troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty twice. In 1246, Naima Zhen returned to power to his son Guiyu, the third Great Khan of the Great Mongol Empire.

After Guiyu came to power, he intervened in the internal affairs of the Chagatai family, forcing the head of Chagatai to give way to Yesu Mengke, which caused Hara Xulie's dissatisfaction. Kipchak Khan, who was at odds with Guiyou during the Western Expedition, opposed Guiyou's succession to the position of Great Khan, and the two formed a feud.

In March 1248, when Guiyuqin led a large army to attack Batu, he suddenly fell ill and died on the way to Yemili from Herinxi, thus avoiding a fratricidal battle within the imperial family.

As was customary, the affairs of the Mongol Khanate were in the hands of the empress before the new khan was elected. So Guiyou Khan's eldest wife, the Lost Empress of Wulihai, held the young Lost Martyr Gate and weighed the system, for this situation, whether it was Batu or the Tuolei family, they all acquiesced at the beginning.

However, the Lost Empress does not have the skills of her mother-in-law, Delegona, she only knows that she is addicted to witchcraft, and she does not understand what a power struggle is. Not to mention the effective management of the ministers of the king, even her own sons and brains, she can't control it, these two precious princes want to be the Great Khan, and they both dictate the military and politics.

Therefore, for a considerable period of time, the Mongol Khanate actually had a situation in which the mother and son all considered themselves to be the supreme leaders of the empire, and they went their separate ways.

Historically, the rulers of the Mongol Khanate had always governed the country by believing that force could solve everything, and they would shout and kill if they disagreed, but now it has become such a situation, and the consequences can be imagined.

During the three years of the lost reign of the sea, the kings fought for power, and natural disasters caused chaos in the country, and the vast Mongol Empire was in danger. It didn't take long for the Mongol kings to be extremely dissatisfied with the loss of the queen mother and son in the sea.

The prestige of the Ögedai clan was completely bankrupt, but on the contrary, the power of the Tuo Lei family was rising, and it seemed that the position of the Great Khan was about to take this turn. Among the Mongol kings, Batu of the Jochi clan, who was the most prestigious, was the most prestigious, and he actively advocated the election of a new Great Khan, both for the stability of his family and for the unity of the entire empire.
