It was definitely Kublai Khan who pit Zhu Yuanzhang, because the situation of these two people was too similar. After Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, he originally planned to pass the throne to the crown prince Bo'er only jin zhenjin, but the real jin brothers did not give strength, did not survive until Kublai Khan died, and left first.
For this reason, Kublai Khan simply passed the throne to Zhenjin's son Bo'er. However, Kublai Khan had 10 sons, and none of the remaining 9 sons rose up against Timur.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he and Kublai Khan were simply a virtue, they both lost their sons in their old age, why could Kublai Khan pass the throne to his grandson, and my old Zhu could not? So Zhu Yuanzhang decisively passed the throne to his grandson, which resulted in the Battle of Jingnan, and his fourth son destroyed his grandson.
So the question is, why did Kublai Khan's remaining 9 sons not compete with Timur for the throne? What exactly went wrong? It is estimated that Lao Zhu is also more mad about this.
First, Timur has a strong man Boyan by his side to help.
It is said that the uncles will seize the throne of Timur, and even Timur's brothers should actually have to fight with Timur. After all, the matter of the brothers of the Great Unification Dynasty vying for the throne is very common.
At that time, Zhenjin left 3 sons, namely the eldest son Ganmala, the second son, DalamaBala, and the third son Timur. As we can tell from the name, Timur is relatively normal, but he is the youngest.
After Zhenjin's death, Kublai Khan had planned to make Zhenjin's second son, Tara Ma Bala, crown prince, but unfortunately this brother was not strong enough, and died in 1292. Therefore, the succession to the throne fell to the eldest son Ganmala and the third son Timur.
From the point of view of the primogeniture system, Ganmara is definitely dominant. But why is Timur in the end? This brings us to the boyan who supported Timur's ascension to the throne.
Boyan is not a simple person, it can be said that Kublai Khan was able to complete the great unification, and Boyan's contribution was indispensable.
Merit 1: The destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty. Boyan was Kublai Khan's left chancellor, and when Kublai Khan's army attacked the Song Dynasty in three ways, Boyan was responsible for commanding the middle road army.
Under the leadership of Boyan and Ah Shu, the Mongol armies successively captured Hubei, Anhui and other places, and even captured Jiankang. For his merits, he was awarded the title of Right Chancellor of Zhongshu.
After that, Boyan led the Zhonglu Army to capture Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and captured Emperor Gong of Song and Empress Xie, which was equivalent to destroying the Southern Song Dynasty. Under the leadership of Boyan, the army successively captured 37 provinces, 128 prefectures, and more than 700 counties of the Song Dynasty, which shows how much merit Boyan gave to Kublai Khan.
Credit two: Quell various rebellions in the north. The plate is bigger, and the rebellion is naturally more. By the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Boyan quelled the rebellion of Emperor Xiliji and captured Namhan, the king of Beiping. Defeated the rebels at the Han River.
In the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Boyan followed the crown prince Zhenjin to the Northern Fu Army. In the 24th year of the Yuan Dynasty, He followed Kublai Khan to quell the rebellion of Wang Naiyan. By the year 29, Boyan had recruited Mingli Timur and defeated the Haidu rebels several times.
Bo Yan, who has made so many contributions, can be described as a role that is unique above the court. Even if he was later framed and lived idly in Datong, it did not affect his deterrent power in the DPRK at all.
It is worth mentioning that Boyan and Crown Prince Zhenjin have a lot of intersection, as early as the tenth year of the Yuan, Boyan has a good cooperation with Crown Prince Zhenjin, and it is not excluded that at this time, Boyan and Timur have a friendship.
When Kublai Khan died, he made Boyan a minister and asked him to assist Emperor Timur. At that time, Timur was not with Kublai Khan, so Boyan led the government for 3 months, until Timur returned to succeed to the throne. It can be seen that Boyan is quite loyal to Timur.
Boyan had various experiences in quelling rebellions, and Kublai Khan did not kill any founding heroes. Therefore, even if Kublai Khan's sons rebelled, they were not Bo Yan's opponents. Naturally, they will not be bored with themselves to compete for this throne. Zhu Yuanzhang's failure to leave such a figure for his grandson would not have caused a fiasco in the Battle of Jingnan.
Second, Timur not only did not cut the domain, but also was good to his uncles.
To mention this, it is not that Zhu Yunjiao's cutting of the domain was wrong, but Zhu Yun's slashing of the domain more directly led to Zhu Di's rebellion. In fact, Zhu Yunjiao did not cut the clan, and when the clan kings became bigger and stronger, people like Zhu Di would still rebel sooner or later. But the time span is lengthened.
Timur was completely different from Zhu Yunjiao, and there was no Huang Zicheng around him who had such an idea, so he had no intention of cutting the domain.
Timur not only did not cut the domain, but also rewarded his uncles many times, so the uncles did not complain about Timur at all. What about the whole thing? Nephew is so good to himself, do you still have the face to rebel?
Timur, on the other hand, had more restraints on his courtiers, for example, his determination to punish corruption. In contrast, the little days of the princes of all walks of life are not too comfortable.
Fanhedong, Henan, Shanzhinan and Shaanxi Shizhichi salt lands were all placed to be given to the governor and sent to the royal palace. --- "History of the Yuan"
Don't think that the Yuan Dynasty implemented the provincial system, the princes did not have fiefs, they not only had food, but also had the right to lead the army. Financially, it can also get the support of the imperial court, not only with regular annual gifts, but also with irregular bonuses, so the life is very moist.
Of course, while getting benefits, these princes were also subject to various surveillance by the imperial court. Therefore, the princes had a good life, and there was no need to be hard with the imperial court.
Summary: Timur's uncles, not too brilliant.
Zhu Yuanzhang had 26 sons, of which Zhu Di was the most outstanding. It is precisely because of this Zhu Di that Zhu Yunjiao lost the world.
Kublai Khan only had 10 sons, and one of them may be more outstanding. And he also died early, so the remaining 9 sons, in fact, there is no outstanding talent like Zhu Di.
In the 26th year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was crowned King of Ningyuan and gave the turtle a gold and silver seal. Thirty years, from the north of Chengzong to prepare troops. The next year, Emperor Chengzong entered the throne as a military subordinate (Kublai Khan's eighth son), and his division was ineffective for a long time. In the third year of Dade, Emperor Mingwuzong replaced him in the army. --- "History of the Yuan"
It can be seen that Kublai Khan's sons are actually not climate. The Yuan Dynasty also did not have the idea of having an eldest son inherit it, so after the death of True Jin, if there were sons who were more prominent, Kublai Khan would not have chosen his grandson to succeed to the throne.
Since there is no Talent and Strength of Zhu Di, and there is such a powerful opponent as Boyan, Timur is really good to them, why do you say that they have to risk their lives?
