Chapter 108 Western Regions Shape shì

The weakness of the Han people is well known, and the reason why Meng Ge and Kublai Khan failed miserably is that all the Western Regions believe that they implemented Sinicization after invading the Central Plains, learning Confucian classics, and causing the Mongol soldiers to lose their sharpness.

The Mongolian army dominates the world, and all the departments in the Western Regions have their own pride, and they are not too interested in the Mongolian desert that has begun to be sinicized.

Historically, Kublai Khan was Dingding Yanjing, established the Yuan Dynasty, and officially sinicized, although he was still the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, but the Mongolian tribes in the Western Regions had stopped paying attention to him.

The Mongolian tribes in the Western Regions did not like the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, and they did not pay much attention to the Tumeng army that defeated the Mongols in Mobei, but now when they came into contact, they realized that they were very wrong.

Cang Fei led the Tumeng army into Xinjiang this time, with 500,000 people, and the strength was extremely strong, more than the Mongolian soldiers in Xinjiang.

After the Battle of Taiyuan and the Battle of Yanjing, the Tumeng army has greatly improved, especially its self-confidence.

The strength of an army is inseparable from their confidence, and with strong conviction or faith, the army will be strong.

The Tu Mongolian army has repeatedly defeated the Mongolian army, destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, swept Dali, conquered Mobei, and was incomparably strong, and has gradually given birth to the belief that it will win.

In the past, they would be terrified when they saw the Mongol army, but now they were very excited, like seeing food, full of greed.

With superior strength and strength, the Tu Mongol army finally won the war, destroying or expelling the Mongol tribes in Xinjiang.

But. After the first battle, more than half of the Tumeng army was killed and wounded.

The name of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry is really not false, and their strength is beyond doubt. Even after fighting so many times and being familiar with the strategy of the Mongol soldiers, the Tu Mongol army still suffered so many losses.

When the war in Xinjiang was basically over, it was already half a year later, and Cang Fei had an excellent physique, and he also felt tired for a while.

Every time he fights, he does. With all his might, the war in Xinjiang is easier than before. But he still has to deal with a lot of pressure.

Looking at the map, Cang Fei's expression was very solemn, the Xinjiang area has been included in the territory of Great Qin, but this is only the eastern region of the Western Regions.

Central Asia and Eastern Europe in the northwest of Xinjiang. The Western Asia region of the southwest. and Tibet in the south, all under Mongol rule.

In these three places, the strength of the Mongols is very strong, which is not comparable to that of Xinjiang.

After Genghis Khan established the Mongol Empire, he fought in the east and west, expanding his territory for tens of thousands of miles.

During his lifetime, he directly governed the desert of northern desert, northeast China, and Han land. The western region was divided among his descendants, and later became the Four Great Khanates. The Ögedai Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate.

The ruler of the Ögedai Khanate was Genghis Khan's son Ögedei, and the territory was the upper reaches of the Irtysh River and the area east of Lake Balkhash, and the capital was built in Yemili (now Emin County, Xinjiang), and later Ögedai inherited the position of the Mongol Great Khan, and gave the fief to Guiyou, and then Guiyou inherited the throne, and the Ögedai Khanate was incorporated into the Mongolian desert management, and now the territory is basically controlled by the Tumeng army of Cangfei.

The Chagatai Khanate was mainly governed by the old land of Western Liao, that is, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, including Xinjiang and parts to the west.

It was originally a fiefdom of Chagatai and was succeeded by his grandson Kharahu Hul after the death of Chagatai Khan.

Because the Chagatai and Ogedai families opposed the succession of Tolei's son Meng Ke to the throne of the Great Khan, the Great Khan of Meng Ge handed over the Hezhong region to the capital of Badu. The territory of Kharahul was limited to the eastern region (present-day Xinjiang), and he died on the way before he could reach the mansion, so that the Chagatai Khanate was indirectly controlled by Möngke.

After Meng Ge was killed by Cang Fei, Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, vying for the throne of Khan, both wanted to annex the Chagatai Khanate and compete in the region, and finally Kublai Khan won the victory, but he only ruled it in name, and most of the real power fell into the hands of the local Mongol tribes.

Therefore, after Kublai Khan's defeat in the Mongols in Mobei, he couldn't control these Mongol tribes at all here, but was used as cannon fodder by them.

It is precisely because of this that the Xinjiang region will be captured by Cangfei so quickly, and if Kublai Khan can control the Mongol tribes here, it will definitely not be difficult to gather 200,000 or 300,000 troops, and it will definitely become a great obstacle for the Tumeng army to capture this place.

The Ilkhanate was founded by Genghis Khan's grandson, Torre's son Hülegü, and ruled mainly in Western Asia, with Persia as the core, that is, Iran in later generations.

When Kublai Khan and Ali Buge were vying for the throne of Khan, Hulegu supported Kublai Khan.

Therefore, after Kublai Khan was defeated by Cangfei, he planned to take refuge in Hulegu, but the road was far away, and the Mongolian tribes in Xinjiang were blocked, Kublai Khan only stopped when he arrived in Turpan, and finally died at the hands of Cangfei.

The remaining Kipchak Khanate, known as the Golden Horde, was founded by Genghis Khan's grandson, Jochi's son Batu and ruled over Central Asia and parts of Eastern Europe.

The four major khanates, now the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate, are basically occupied by Cangfei, and only the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate remain.

The strength of these two khanates is very strong, sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops, which is absolutely tough.

Fortunately, although Hulegu and Beerge nominally belonged to the Mongol Empire, in fact, they were not under the management of the Mongol Empire for a long time, and they were the Great Khans of their respective khanates, and did not support Kublai Khan, and both coveted the Mongol Khan, and were preparing to compete for the position of the Mongol Khan, ignoring Cang Fei, who was able to easily capture Xinjiang.

After the capture of Mobei Mongolia, the Mongol Empire was left with four major forces, the Xinjiang tribes that were not subordinate to each other, the Mongol army of Datunab in Tibet, and the Ilkhanate and Kipchak Khanate.

Now that the Xinjiang provinces have been captured, the four major Mongol forces have been reduced by one, and Xinjiang is located between Tibet and the Ilkhanate and the Kipchak Khanate.

This was Cangfei's clever move, and the goal was to isolate Tibet, so that he could rest assured that he would seize Tibet without being interfered by the powerful Ilkhanate and Kipchak Khanate.

After conquering Tibet, Cangfei could focus on the Ilkhanate and Kipchak Khanate in the west.

However, although Cang Fei coveted Tibet very much, he did not attack immediately.

The Xinjiang region is not yet fully controlled, and Cangfei has a lot of things to deal with, and it will take some time to stabilize the rule of the Great Qin Empire in Xinjiang. (To be continued......)
