Although the matter was eventually resolved, this confusion, in the early days of the Purple Horde, occupied a considerable space and haunted all sides.

Many of the subsequent changes were not so much the development of the Purple Horde as the role of external forces.

For example, at that time, Mongolian identity, which was one of the main trends of thought, also changed because of the changes in the overall environment.

Tuhuan once told Guo Kang an ancestral joke, saying that it was the founding Khan Boyan Timur, who encountered an embarrassing identity confusion back then.

When Boyan Timur was in the Golden Horde, he often did business with merchants from all walks of life to subsidize his livelihood. The languages he is most familiar with are Turkic and Persian. The merchants who dealt with him also regarded him more as a Turk. For a long time, he thought so himself.

Later, he met Shi Shoudao, a small leader of mercenaries who served as a bodyguard for the caravan. When everyone was chatting and bragging, Shi Shoudao said that although these merchants said that he was a Khitan mercenary, his family was actually Turkic.

Boyan Timur and others didn't take it seriously, but Shi Shoudao actually said it right. He said that his ancestors were a line of the Western Turkic Khans, and there were many records in the archives and history books of the Tang Dynasty, which can still be found now.

What is more embarrassing is that the Turks who are active on the side of Boyan Timur do not know anything about this Khan, and none of them have heard of the situation of Ashina's family. Everyone always thinks that he may be bragging, but they can't find the words to refute others, I don't know if he is bragging, or if the myth is too old.

Boyan Timur was very curious, so he asked his well-informed friend Guo Gai about it. After Guo Gai confirmed it for him, everyone understood what the situation was.

Guo Gai once traveled on the grasslands and helped them deal with their enemies, and he was quite famous in this area, so everyone believed in him. But this incident has had a huge impact on the entire tribe.

Boyan Timur is a little better, after all, according to legend, his family seems to be somewhat related to the Great Khan. The other leaders are miserable - those who hold a Turkic identity, they are stuck in "He is a Turk, what am I?" In the midst of the confusion.

Therefore, when Boyan Timur's party went south, many of his Kipchaks chose Mongol identity - in large part because they really had Turks on their side......

Tuhuan took this opportunity to tell Guo Kang that the identity of the grassland people has actually changed in this way. Most of the time, it's not that they want to change, but that there are other influencing factors around them, so as a response, they just change.

And the Mongol identity proposed by the Taishi was clearly put on the back burner by the Purple Horde, and even began to fade in the various tribes of the Northern Ya, at the time of Basil III. The specific reasons are actually similar.

At that time, in the East, the withdrawal of the Yuan Dynasty from the Central Plains was a foregone conclusion; In the Celestial world, the most powerful "Mongols" were Timur, who was heavily Turkicized. Throughout the Eurasian continent, the original "Mongolia" seems to be fading rapidly, even to the point where everyone does not know who Mongolia is and what Mongolia is.

Tuhuan said that at that time, the Purple Horde and the Chagatai Khanate were communicating, and the Chagatai envoy told them a story:

In the Yuan Dynasty, it was customary to refer to the Mongols collectively as "Duqin Durben", which means "forty-four". Because according to Genghis Khan's division, Mongolia is divided into 400,000 households, known as "400,000 Mongolia". There are 40,000 households of the Warat people in Moxi, called "40,000 Oirat". The establishment of these 440,000 households constitutes the main body of Mongolia.

As a result, when the Yuan Dynasty fell, thirty-six of the forty Mongolian households voted for Zhu Hongwu Hehan. This is also why now, the presence of the Warat people is so strong - because the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty has always been not very popular with the Mongols, and the headquarters has run out......

As a result, the question arises, who is the suzerainty of the Mongols? Is it Zhu Hongwu Hehan, or is it Hehan of the Northern Yuan?

Different regimes have different answers to this question. The Chagatai Khanate thought it was Zhu Hongwu Hehan, on the grounds that they hated the Yuan Dynasty very much, and anyway, as long as it was not the remnants of Kublai Khan, anyone could do it; The Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Eastern Province of the Northern Yuan Dynasty believed that orthodoxy was in Hehan in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but these two regimes were not actually the Great Khan's personal conquest - the Northern Yuan Dynasty now took turns to sit in the village, and the Taishi had actually controlled the small court. The province was self-reliant from beginning to end, and it verbally borrowed the name of the Great Khan.

As for the Javanese Yuan, they didn't even mention the question of this Mongol suzerain, because they didn't care about it at all......

Therefore, the Purple Horde Khan court believed that in this case, the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty was no longer representative, and the original narrative also needed to be changed.

What is more interesting is that now in the whole world, the most powerful Mongol armed forces are actually at two ends, that is, in the hands of the Ming Dynasty and the Purple Horde. And the various Yuan regimes, when examined carefully, are the Han people who are the pillars.

Needless to say, the Javanese Yuan is the same, and the same is true for the Northern Yuan and Zhengdong provinces.

When the calligrapher Yuan Shun Emperor "hunted in the north", there were roughly four armed forces that could still be relied on: whether it was the world where Guo Kang was in the past, or the situation here, the most powerful was undoubtedly the Henan landlord under Wang Baobao. This is also the only military force in the Northern Yuan regime that can open a dignified array and fight head-on with the Ming army.

In the past, this army collapsed quickly after the death of Wang Baobao. In the final analysis, their allegiance was not to the Yuan Dynasty, but to Wang Baobao himself. Therefore, after Wang Baobao was gone, everyone dispersed. Many people returned to the south one after another to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu's father and son under Zhu Di came here in this way.

In this world, Wang Baobao led his men to break away from the Northern Yuan Khan's court and went to the east to establish himself as king. Therefore, although the province of Zhengdong is also called "Yuan", it has always been indebted to listen to the Xuan, and does not take the Khan court in his eyes at all......

After Wang Baobao's power was gone, the most powerful were the Warat people. They had been defending Moxi before, and they were facing other khanates with poor combat effectiveness.

Looking at the specific battle examples, sometimes it is more exaggerated than the stereotype - Guo Kang has calculated the time, if it is according to the historical development, it will not be two years later, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will be the accession of Crooked Khan. During his reign, he fought 61 battles with the Warats, winning 1 time.

Even with such a record, Crooked Khan is already a warrior recognized by the Warats. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate also behaved fairly well in the face of other enemies in the west. As you can imagine, everyone else has reached......
