Genghis Khan found that the captive enemy daughter-in-law looked like a heavenly immortal, and excitedly summoned his son: this woman has been handed over to you

In the winter of 1204 AD, Genghis Khan won a big battle, and in the crowd of captives, he found a fairy-looking woman, who turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the enemy, and immediately summoned Wokoutai with joy: "This person will follow you later!" Wo Kuotai was excited, and he couldn't imagine that his father was so generous this time, which was completely different from what he did in the past.

Genghis Khan found that the captive enemy daughter-in-law looked like a heavenly immortal, and excitedly summoned his son: this woman has been handed over to you

At this time, Wo Kuotai was exactly 18 years old, young and strong, qi and blood, ranking third among the four concubines, this position was not up and down, very embarrassing. Whether it is according to the primogeniture system or the Mongolian tradition of the younger son inheritance system, in theory, it is difficult for him to get the favor of his father.

Therefore, this time he was suddenly rewarded by Genghis Khan, which made him overjoyed, perhaps because he loved Ya and Wu, or perhaps this woman was indeed extraordinary, and Wokoutai quickly promoted her to a wife. Later, the woman gave birth to the eldest son Guiyu as she wished, and later became the third Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, known in history as "Guiyu Khan", which is really no coincidence.

In 1219, Genghis Khan began his western expedition. Because Hua Lazimo did not abide by the rules of commerce and did not pay attention to morality, he actually killed the 450 caravan sent by Genghis Khan four years ago, and also looted 500 camels and various gold and silver jewelry of the caravan, and made a small fortune.

Genghis Khan was furious when he heard the news and demanded that Khwarazm hand over the murderer.

Hua Lazimo did not look up to the newly rising Genghis Khan at all, and not only let the envoy sent by Genghis Khan receive a box lunch, but also shaved the beards of the two deputy envoys and forcibly expelled them. In ancient times, beards were an essential façade for adult men, and such behavior as Hua Lazimo was indeed very excessive.

Therefore, Genghis Khan's soldiers attacked Khwarazm in four ways and tried to destroy them in one fell swoop, although the resistance of Khwarazm was very fierce, often persisting until one soldier after another, but in the face of the iron hooves of the Mongol army, the final outcome was the same. The following year, the army began to besiege the capital of The Flower Thorn Mould.

The siege concept of the two brothers of Shuchi and Chagatai is diametrically opposed, Shuchi hopes to preserve this bustling city as much as possible, after all, this will be his territory, his own things must always be careful, so the siege is not fierce enough, always throw rats, resulting in heavy losses to the Mongol army, even 3000 bridge-grabbing death squads were completely destroyed.

Chagatai advocated a desperate and forceful attack, even the complete destruction of the city, and his combat goal was to occupy the place, and he did not care whether it was a broken wall or a ruin. Due to the disagreement between the two commanders, the soldiers were confused, and several months passed, and the siege still made no progress.

Genghis Khan was very dissatisfied, so he sent the three sons Wo Kuotai to reconcile the contradictions between the two eldest brothers, and Wo Kuotai did not bear the heavy trust, quickly unified the siege idea, gathered a large army to rush, and soon successfully occupied the capital of Hua Thorn Zimo. It can be seen that in the mind of Genghis Khan, although Wokoutai is the third son, he has special abilities that are different from other brothers.

Facts have also proved that Genghis Khan's vision of people is very accurate, and Wokoutai does have superior talents in both governing the country and fighting wars. In 1227 AD, during the attack on Western Xia, Genghis Khan suddenly fell seriously ill, and before his death, he gave Wokoutai a very high evaluation, believing that only he was the best successor to the Khan's throne.

However, according to the succession system of the Khan at that time, Genghis Khan's will was only of a guiding nature, and could not completely determine the final lucky one. Two years later, the Mongol emperors and important ministers met to select a new Mongol Khan. Many people support Genghis Khan's youngest son, Tuolei, to succeed to the throne according to the traditional inheritance system.

Fortunately, the second brother Chagatai and Wokoutai formed a deep brotherly relationship when they attacked the capital of Huazizimo, after all, the concepts of the two of them were basically the same, so Chagatai fully supported Wokoutai to succeed to the throne.

At this time, the eldest brother Shuchi had already gone offline, the situation immediately became two to one, Tuolei saw that the power of Wokoutai was even better, and after thinking about it, he decided to give up the Khan position and support Wokoutai to ascend the throne smoothly.

In 1232 AD, on the way from the Jinguo Class, Wo Kuotai suddenly fell seriously ill, and soon died, seeing that he was about to lose his breath, and Tore, in the spirit of brotherhood, had been carefully taken care of by his side. Through a special ritual, the shaman expressed that he had transferred Wokoutai's illness to a cup, and Tore did not hesitate to drink the water in the cup, hoping that Wokoutai would recover soon.

Unexpectedly, WoKoutai was really cured, and Tuolei happily resigned and left, but a few days later, Tuolei inexplicably drove hexi. According to the historical records, Wokoutai was not really sick, and Tuolei's cup was poisoned by the shaman. In any case, the ability to compete with Wokoutai for the position of Tuomin is always a huge threat.

Even if he can suppress it himself, it does not mean that his sons can still control it, instead of dreaming about it for a long night, it is better to take precautions against the future. As an emperor, Wokoutai has a decisive side of killing and a side of obedience.

After Wokoutai occupied the Jin Dynasty, many ministries would propose to wipe out all the Han people here, and turn the fertile Central Plains into a lush racecourse with lush grass, and wouldn't it be more perfect to blow the grass and low to see cattle and sheep?

Wo Kuotai was somewhat moved, and Yelü Chucai hurriedly came forward to persuade him that the Central Plains region has always been rich, as long as it is managed scientifically, it will certainly have a lot of money, so why should it be abandoned into a barren land.

In order to protect the Han people in the Central Plains, Yelü Chucai insisted on gathering wealth by taxation despite the fierce opposition of the Mongol nobles and Han princes. A year later, he received 500,000 taels of silver, 80,000 silk horses, and 400,000 stones of millet, which impressed WoKoutai and immediately put Yelü Chucai in charge of Zhongshu Province.

Under the advice of Yelü Chucai, Wo Kuotai paid more and more attention to Han culture, often asked him to explain Confucian knowledge, and gradually understood the truth that "the world can be obtained immediately, but cannot be ruled immediately", and no longer easily slaughtered the city, but paid attention to preserving the population of the occupied areas. In 1232, Yelü Chucai found Confucius's 51st grandson Kong Yuancuo and was enthroned by Wo Kuotai as the Duke of Yansheng.
