Temujin, who was born in the Beggar's Department, was a teenager and married Zamu of the Zada Clan to form Anta (a brother with a different surname), and when he became an adult, he supported each other and fought side by side. In the end, they turned against each other, tore their faces and beat up their hands, what happened to this little-known thing?
After Temujin's father, Temujin, was poisoned by the tatars, the Taichiwu people took the opportunity to instigate the Temujin family to abandon the Temujin family and switch to the Taichi U clan. Temujin's family suddenly fell into a lonely predicament, but fortunately, her mother Ke Erlun was strong-willed and very capable, and she led Temujin's brothers and sisters to forage around under The Kent Mountain, struggling to survive.
The nobles of the Taichi U clan, fearing that the Temujin brothers would become a trouble when they grew up, sent people to hunt down Temujin. Temujin has experienced the hardships of life since childhood, tempered his tenacious will and strong physique in the predicament, he was in danger several times, and even captured, but with the help of well-meaning people, he escaped several times, and finally escaped into the deep mountains and dense forests, escaped from the pursuit of the Taichiwu people, and reunited with his family.
During this period, Zamuhe, a teenager of the Zada Clan, helped Temujin out of danger several times, and the two formed a deep friendship, and they were like-minded and sympathetic to each other, so they folded their arrows and swore an oath and married Anta (brother).
Later, the young Temujin gradually gathered his clan by virtue of his personality charm and prepared for a comeback, but he was attacked by the contemptuous beggars. The Beggars suddenly killed, and the unsuspecting Temujin family and subordinates fled in all directions, his mother Ke Erlun and his younger siblings fled into the Kent Mountains to hide, and Temujin's wife, Erti, was abducted by the Beggars. Afterwards, Temujin found his father Wang Han, who was also a brother and the leader of the Krebu (Turkic race), to ask for help, and Wang Han agreed, and asked Temujin to find Zamuhe, who had become the leader of the Mongol Zada clan, to send an army together. When Zamuhe was young, he married Temujin, and when he saw that his brothers were in difficulty, he was naturally obliged to resign, and promised to help him to fight for the beggars.
Therefore, Zamuhe, Wang Han, and their brothers Zahe Daren and Temujin each sent 10,000 troops, and together they would gather 40,000 horses and horses to attack the camp of the Beggars of Qi'er, Buluchuan (in present-day Russia). The coalition forces suddenly arrived, and the beggars were defenseless, and their leader escaped by chance. Temujin retrieves his wife, Bo Erti, and takes advantage of the situation to kill. All 300 beggars and young men who had sneaked into Temujin's camp earlier were slaughtered, and women and children were taken into slavery. After the end of the war, Temujin led his troops to the pastoral area of the Zada department in the middle reaches of the Onnen River for a year and a half, and shared brotherly friendship with Zamu, but later the two Anda gradually stopped talking, and there was a gap and disagreement between them. Late one night, temujin and his men quietly left the pastoral area of the Zada clan and migrated to The Kokonor (present-day foothills of the Outer Montkent) on the upper reaches of the Krullen River, where they set up their own camp.
Temujin and Zamuhe, two brothers of different surnames who have been friends since childhood, once shared happiness and suffering and supported each other, but now why is there a rift and gradually drifting apart? The main leader was to defeat the predatory beggars and greatly increase the prestige of the brave and scheming Temujin. At that time, all the tribes (different clans) in Mongolia admired Temujin, who could fight a good war, and came to him at the same time, including low-ranking herders, slaves, and nobles. Temujin selected brave, loyal, and skilled people from it to form and expand the nakor (pro-army) team. This team is not only fierce and good at fighting, but also absolutely loyal to Temujin, and has played an extremely important role in Temujin's cause. Temujin not only threatened the steppe, but also greatly increased his strength, which made the former good Anda Zamu look in his eyes and "jealousy" in his heart. A rift between the two arose.
According to the "Secret History of the Mongols", around 1189 AD, the relatives of the Qiyan clan consulted and jointly elected Temujin, who had outstanding ability and prestige, as Khan.
Temujin sent emissaries to tell Wang Han and Zamuhe about their claim to be Khans in order to hope that they would admit themselves. The leader of the Keliebu, Wang Hanbing, was a general with a large number of generals, strong in strength, and had always been arrogant and arrogant, and did not take it seriously at all, and immediately agreed in the name of his righteous father. Zamuhe had a conflict with Temujin, and Temujin did not say goodbye and pulled away some people from his tribe, which made him very unhappy in his heart, how could Zamuhe, who already had complex emotions of "envy, jealousy, and hatred" towards Anda, tolerate him calling him Khan and arrogant?
Soon, Zamuhe found a reason to join forces with the Taichiwu tribe to join forces with 30,000 troops to attack Temujin. Not to be outdone, Temujin gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses to resist Zamuhe. The two officially parted ways and turned against each other.
The two armies confronted each other at the Tharan version of Jusi 's Field ( in present-day Öndör Khan , Outer Mongolia ) , and a fierce battle ensued. The Yuan Shi records this event:
“...... Zamu, believing that he was resentful, conspired with the various tribes of Taichiwu to fight with a crowd of thirty thousand. Emperor (Temujin Khan, Genghis Khan) garrisoned the Dalan version of Zhu Si no Ye, Wen Chang, a large collection of troops, divided into ten three wings to be a thousand. The emperor (Temujin) fought a great war and broke it."
The Battle of ZhuSi, also known as the "Battle of the Thirteen Wings". Yes, Zamuhe greatly broke Temujin. After the defeat of Temujin, he had to retreat to the Zheliequan land in the Onen River Valley, where he preserved most of his strength.
After a period of rest, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity for the Jin Kingdom to send troops to attack Tatar, Temujin and Wang Han jointly destroyed the powerful Tatar tribe, killed its leader WuZhen Laughing, and returned with a full load. This battle not only avenged the killing of his father, but also his revenge feats further enhanced his prestige in the Mongolian steppe, and he took advantage of the situation to lead an army to conquer the east and west, eliminate several beggar nobles who disobeyed him, and also conquered and annexed the main beggar tribe. He then joined forces with Wang Han to destroy his sworn enemy Taichi Wubu and behead his leader, Tali Kutai.
With repeated victories, Temujin's fame grew and his enemies grew. By 1201, a military alliance of Mongol nobles led by Temujin Andazamu had been formed, with the aim of making enemies of Temujin. This alliance was headed by zamuhe, the leader of the Zada clan, and consisted of Tatar, the remnants of the Taichi Ubu, the DorBian, the Hongjira, the Qi'er, the Naiman (Turkic), and the Huiyi. These tribal leaders who opposed Temujin jointly promoted Zamu to become Gur Khan, and decided to join forces to jointly recruit Temujin. Temujin was less than 30 years old this year, but he was already a mature commander with rich military experience and command. After receiving the news, he led his army to take the initiative to attack Zamuhe, and defeated the zamuhe coalition army in one fell swoop near the Hala River, and the remnants of the noble leaders scattered and fled.
The Secret History of the Mongols records that in the autumn of 1203, the combined forces of Temujin and Wang Han fought fiercely with the remnants of the nobles of zamuhe, Huiyi, Qi'er, and Naiman at Que Yi Tan (the upper reaches of the Halaha River on the border of present-day Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia). Temujinbu was indeed fierce and good at fighting, and the combined forces of Naiman and Zamuhe were destroyed, and the Naiman army retreated to the mainland, and zamuhe led the remnants to disperse in panic.
Later, Temujin and Wang Han, the leader of the Krie clan, broke up and killed each other, and the loose military alliance collapsed. The two sides have fought many times and won against each other. The "Secret History" records that on a certain day in the autumn of 1203, Temujin led an army from the upper reaches of the Onnen River, traveled day and night, and rushed to the camp of The Keliebu of Zhezheyundu Mountain, raided Wang Han's old lair, and immediately launched a rapid attack. The Krebu were a Turkic race, a large clan with many people, and the two sides fought bloodily for 3 days and nights, and the Kerei generals could not resist the fierce attack of the Mongols and collapsed one after another. Wang Han desperately fled west under the cover of his own soldiers, encountering Nai barbarian cavalry on the way and being killed. The Kreuz were all enslaved to the Mongols, and a powerful Turkic tribe was destroyed.
The rapid demise of the Krebes greatly alarmed its western neighbor, the Naiman (Turkic tribes). The Sun Khan reorganized his forces to defend against the aggressive Temujin Khan. This was the second time that the Naimanbu organized a coalition army, except for the Naiman army, most of the rest were the remnants of the remnants of the tribes who defected to naiman, such as Zamuhe (Zadalan), Qi'er Beg, Hui Yila, Ke Lie, Duo'erbian, Hedajin, Tatar, and Shanzhi Peng, and these tribal nobles who fled west were all opponents of Wang Han and Temujin, and they were not willing to lose again and fought together with the Naiman army to jointly resist the Temujin army. After temujin destroyed the Kerebu, after a short rest, the sharp spirit was full, and then led the troops west to conquer Naiman. The two armies encountered at the Sari River (on the west side of the present-day Outer MonKrulun River), and Zamu saw that Temujinbu's morale was high, and his momentum was more victorious than ever, and he knew that he was invincible, and he did not wait for the battle to quietly lead the troops to flee. Subsequently, Temujin's division and the Naiman coalition army began a major battle. After only one day of fierce fighting, the barbarian army was destroyed, and the Sun Khan was captured and beheaded by the Mongol army. Prince Qu out of the law by chance to escape. The next day, the remnants of Dorbian, Hedajin, and Tatar, who were attached to Naiman, surrendered to Temujin. Subsequently, Temujin took advantage of the victory to march into the Altai Mountains and completely conquered the entire territory of Naiman.
In the summer of 1205, Temujin executed his boyhood Andazaki. Since the complete break-up between the two brothers in 1189, Zamuhe has organized or participated in many wars against Temujin, and despite repeated defeats, he is still not dead. In the end, they turned to everywhere, and there was no place to live, so that the people rebelled and left. When he fled into hiding in the Tangnu Mountains (present-day Tuva Autonomous Oblast, Russia), Zamuhe was bound by five of his close companions, Nakon (Companions, Bodyguards), and sent to Temujin. Zamuhe was very interesting, he asked people to say to Temujin, "What do you think should be done with Nakor (who dares to capture his master) and follow him"? Temujin said: "For those who betray the Lord, they cannot keep him alive, and even his descendants must also kill the Secret History of the Mongols." So in front of Zamuhe, the five people were executed. According to the Mongol custom, it was very unfortunate to kill his own Anda (brother), so Temujin decided not to blame the past, and Liu zamuhe continued to accompany him.
Shi Zai, Temujin really had the heart to keep Zamuhe's life, but Zamuhe was unwilling to live and steal life. He asked someone to tell Temujin:
"We grew up in peace, we ate indigestible things together, and we said vows that we could not forget, and then I was provoked, so we separated. Thinking back on what I said in the past, I was ashamed and embarrassed, so I didn't dare to meet you... Your mother is smart, you're handsome, your brothers are capable, your companions are strong, and you have 73 horses. My parents died since I was a child, I had no brothers, my wife was talkative, and my companions were unfaithful. You have the blessing of eternal life, so you have won. Now let me die, you can be at peace. If I can die without bleeding, I will bless your children and grandchildren forever when I die."
Zamuhe's words were very simple, and he seemed to be heartfelt, truthfully saying his true thoughts.
Zamuhe is willing to gamble and lose, which has some tragic characteristics of the warriors of the ancient hero era, and does not beg for life.
Temujin also pondered how to deal with Zamuhe, who was also an enemy and a friend: he resolutely refused to kill him; to kill him, divination was a great murderer (the Mongols were most afraid of killing Anda); moreover, Zamuhe was a very famous figure, and he had to find a convincing reason to kill him. After much thought, Temujin still asked him to die without bloodshed—wrapping him tightly in raw cowhide and hanging upside down on the ground, as the water evaporated from the cowhide, it became tighter and tighter until he suffocated. After Zamuhe's death, Temujin buried him thickly. The Mongols believed in shamans, believing that after death the soul would be attached to their own blood, they believed that the method of death without bloodshed was a good ending.
The year was 1206 AD. Temujin is 44 years old. He lost his father at the age of 9, and after more than 30 years of conquest and bloody struggle, he finally flattened the crowd and unified the desert north.
