Fierce Empress Dowager Bald
During the reign of Mahamad, the army of Khwarazm was mainly composed of Turkic barbarians and Chincha Kangli, the Turkic barbarians were descendants of the Islamized Turkic Ugusi tribe, and the Chincha and Kangli peoples were steppe nomadic peoples active north of the Caspian Sea, and in the era of Mahammad's ancestors, they were one of the main sources of soldiers for the Khwarazm army.
The brave and warlike Chincha cavalry
Mahamad's father, Thepcha, was even more strongly encouraged to support the Chincha Kangli people to move to the hezhong region, and in order to strengthen ties, he himself married the Princess of Kangli, Bald Khan, and gave birth to Mahama. Although this policy ensured that Khwarazm could recruit a large army of considerable quantity and quality from the Chincha Kangli people, its drawbacks were also very obvious: by the end of the Maha period, almost all the important cities and regions in the hezhong region were controlled by the chiefs of the Chincha and Kangli tribes, and these magnates were arrogant and arrogant, doing whatever they wanted, and automatically surrounded the bald People, who were also from Kangli, forming a dictatorship similar to our Chinese foreign relations, which Mahama could not control, resulting in an internal split in Huarazm.
Born in the Chincha royal clan of Yulibury Boyue Wu clan, it is said that this clan is the Boya Wuti in the secret history of Mongolia, and the slave Ma Alihei, the ancestor of Genghis Khan, who exchanged his prey for his homecoming slave Ma Alihei, was the ancestor of the tribe, who lived in the Chifeng generation of Inner Mongolia for generations, and then moved west to the Yulibury Mountain between the Ural River and the Volga River. Many famous people in later Mongolia came from this tribe, such as the famous general Tutuha during the Kublai Khan period, and Timur (Wang Baobao)...
Chincha Ministry Locations
Bald Han Hatun has a strong personality and a strong desire for power, and every time Mahmud attacks a state, he must give one of the big cities to his mother, during Mahmud's expedition to caliphate, Bald Khan established himself in the imperial court in the old capital Yulong Jiechi, and wrote his insignia "Protector of the World and Faith, Queen of the Universe Bald Khan" on the edict he issued! Whenever the orders of mother and son were issued to the same place, although they said the same thing, but the opinions were different, the officials acted according to the orders that arrived at a more recent time.
There was a slave named Nasradin who was very favored and became the prime minister of Khwarazm, but this man did not have the talent of a prime minister and was insatiable, and Mahabharata hated him very much and often rebuked him severely. Once, Mahabharata himself appointed a magistrate and told him, "Your official position was appointed by me, not the prime minister, and you do not have to bribe him." However, the official was told that it was not enough to rely on the grace of the monarch alone, but that it was necessary to give gifts to the prime minister so that the official seat could sit firmly. The officials were shocked and afraid to hurry to send money to the prime minister, and Mahama often sent people to monitor the actions of the prime minister, and after the eyeliner came back to report the situation, Mahamad ordered the prime minister to hand over the money sent by the official, and when the official came to see him, he asked him what he had sent to the prime minister. The official said that he had not sent a penny, and swore an oath to the heavens, and the accountant took out the money sent by the official handed over by the prime minister and threw it on the ground, and the official was horrified, and the accountant dismissed the official on the spot and drove the prime minister back to Bald Han.
Queen Bald Khan
On the way back to the hostess, Naso Radin still handled the government as the prime minister, and none of the officials along the way dared to stand up and say that you had been deposed. Back at the Queen's Jade Dragon Jie Chi Capital City, Bald Erhan organized all the officials and civilians to greet him, and one of the officials was late due to illness, and the prime minister said: I'm afraid it's not a disease, it's that I don't want to come at all, and after a few days, I punished this person with a lot of money under the pretext. As the prime minister became more and more greedy and had no one in sight, Mahmud sent an emissary to order his killing, and Bald Khan called the emissary to the palace and asked him to go to the prime minister to preach the holy will in the name of Mahamo, "The position of prime minister is none other than you, you do your job well, and no one in the country will disobey your orders." Later, some historians lamented: Maha Sudraduan had fought so many victorious battles and destroyed so many countries, but he could not punish a slave according to his own wishes!
The struggle for power between mother and son depleted the empire's strength
Since Bald Khan herself was a Chincha, she also interfered in the question of the heirs of the Khwarazm Empire in order to protect the interests of her tribe and supporters. Among the sons of Mahabharata, Zalandin was the bravest and most capable, but because Bald Khan did not like Zalandin, he prevented Lizalandin from being the heir of the empire, and established his mother as another son of Mahabharata who was of the same tribe.
Since it is well known that Mahamad did not have a mother-child relationship with Bald Erhan, at the beginning of the war, the Mongols used a divisive approach to mother and child. Send a letter to Genghis Khan in the name of the loyal general of Bald Khan: We came to Khwarazm to follow Mahmud because his mother was our people, and we did not hesitate to expand the territory and shed blood for Khwarazm, but now we have forgotten our mother's kindness and resented our mother, and Hatun wants us to avenge her, and as soon as your army arrives, we will immediately go to you. Then he deliberately let the sariputta get the letter, deepening Mahama's suspicions and distrust of his chincha generals
Then he sent the envoy to The Bald Han Hatun and said: We know that your son does not honor you, we are here to clean her up for you, some of the generals of the Army of Suanduan have promised to help us, we have no intention of offending you, we will not attack your Jade Dragon Jiechi, and when we have cleaned up your son, we will give you the Khorasan region. Although Bald Khan Hatun did not respond to the emissaries, he always stood by and did not send troops when the Mongols besieged other cities in the river
Before the Mongols attacked the Jade Dragon Jiechi City, Bald Erhan took Mahama's wife and children, old and children, and the family members of the harem, and took refuge in the Yilaile Fort, and the Subutai army that pursued Mahama passed through this place, leaving an army to besiege. When the castle was about to be breached, some people suggested breaking through to zalandin, who was already growing stronger, and Bald Khan said that he would rather be captured and humiliated by the enemy than go to zalandin, which showed his hatred for his grandson.
The vicinity of this castle has always been very rainy, never lack of water, so people never store water to prevent drought, who knows after being surrounded by the Mongol army for several months without rain, the people in the fort really can't stand to go out of the fort to surrender, on the day of surrender, the sky is cloudy, and it rained heavily for a long time. All of Mahamad's sons were killed, and all of his wives and concubines and daughters were given to the Mongol nobles, and Vulthan followed the Mongol army back to the steppe, and when the army returned to Huarazimo, Genghis Khan ordered Vulture khan and Mahama's female relatives to walk in front of the procession and weep bitterly to mourn their country. He died in 1233 in Khala and Lin, and the previously mentioned prime minister was sent to Genghis Khan for immediate execution.
Before the formal engagement, we briefly introduced the basic situation of the warring side of the Hua lazimo, although the huarazimo had 400,000 troops at that time, the territory was vast, the army could fight good battles, known as the first power in Central Asia, and the ruler Mahabharata was also a generation of tyrants. But in fact, while rapidly expanding militarily, the ruling base of the conquered areas is very weak, coupled with the complexity of population, ethnicity, and religion, so under the cover of powerful appearances, it is actually a Khwarazm with internal and external troubles, contradictions, and external strengths.
Perhaps in time, Mahabharata may be able to straighten out this intricate internal and external relationship, but the accidental blackmail incident shifted the Mongols' concentration from the far east to himself, which may be called the real fire
