Muhua Li is an indispensable person for Genghis Khan to achieve hegemony, he and Borshu were once evaluated by Genghis Khan as "the car has a rut, the body has arms", simply put, it is as important as the two arms of the human body, he and Borshu, Borku, Chilaowen are the four masters of Mongolia, and are one of the ten heroes in the early Days of Mongolia! And Mu Huali's birth is not as glorious as his achievements, his life can be said to be very lowly, from a young age was a slave of the master beggar, in that era, the life of the slave was not even as good as the cattle, humble like ants, then how did he step by step from a portal slave to the miracle of the Taishi King?
Muhuali and Genghis Khan
In 1170 AD, Mu Huali was born on the banks of the Hunan River, and according to legend, when he was born, a white gas filled the tent, and the great wizard of the tribe was very surprised and said: "This is also very child." When he was a teenager, Muhuali showed a calmness and fortitude that other slaves did not have, he did not want to be like others, he was humble and condescending, so the leader of the lord's beggar, Satchabeg, did not like him, but Satchabeg's mother, Princess Erli, had the insight to tell his son that this child was not ordinary, either use him or kill him, not for the use of others, and satchabeg who was just for his own use did not think of it. Around 1197 AD, Temujin defeated the lord beggar, and his father Kong Wenguwa surrendered Temujin with Muhua Li and others, and sent Muhuali to Temujin as a portal slave, from which Muhuali began to assist Temujin in achieving hegemony, and his loyalty and wisdom were also deeply appreciated by Temujin. According to the Yuan shi 's biography of Muhua Li,' once Temujin led thirty of his own soldiers to walk between the valleys, and the valleys were narrow and difficult to navigate, and Temujin turned back to the crowd and said, "If you encounter a Kou in the valley, if you do it, if you don't want to do it," Muhua Li replied, "Please be your own body." Soon, the thief Kou did indeed sneak out of the canyon, the arrows rained down, Mu Huali immediately drew a bow and shot a thief, three arrows three times, and unsaddled the saddle, guarding Temujin, the thief shouted in surprise: "Who are you?" Mu Huali replied, "I am Mu Huali!" The thief heard Mu Huali's name, knew his ability, and withdrew with his men. In this way, Muhua Li safely escorted Temujin out of the valley. For this reason, Temujin often missed their father and son's life-saving feelings, because his father Kong WenGuwa was also killed by Naimanbu to protect Temujin's retreat.
Mu Huali met Temujin for the first time
After Muhua Li led the troops to fight, he showed his heroic and good fighting side, Muhua Li's biography records that King Khan of Keliebu once sent troops to fight against Naimanbu, and when he was unfavorable, he asked Temujin for help, Temujin sent Muhuali and Borshu to lead his men and horses to the rescue, and fought a decisive battle with Naimanbu in Zhaotai, defeated the barbarians, harvested cattle and sheep, and had a lot of treasure, the following year, King Khan of Kerebu was worried about Temujin's true strength, plotted to attack Temujin, and was leaked by his subordinates, Temujin immediately ordered Muhuali to select elite troops to attack Keliebu at night, defeating Wang Khan. The Krebs perished. The tribes of the steppe heard that the powerful Kerebu had been destroyed by Temujin, so they turned to Temujin, and in 1206 AD, Temujin unified the steppe tribes, honored Genghis Khan, and appointed Muhuali and Borshu as the heads of the ten thousand households, ranking first among the generals. In 1211, Genghis Khan extended his saber to his enemy, the Golden Kingdom, and Muhuali accompanied the army. In the famous Battle of Wild Fox Ridge, in the face of the 400,000 troops of the Jin Dynasty, MuhuaLi said to Genghis Khan: "If we are widowed, if we do not fight to the death, we cannot win", so he personally led the dead soldiers of the Eight Lu Battalion, rushed to the Jinguo army, strategized the horse and crossed the sword, broke the golden soldiers, and helped Genghis Khan win the Battle of Wild Fox Ridge. Later, with the Mongol army, he also pulled zhuozhou (涿州, in present-day Zhuo county, Hebei), divided his troops to capture Yidu (present-day Changlexi, Shandong), marched to Bazhou (present-day Baxian County, Hebei), and then besieged Yanjing (present-day Beijing), and the Jin dynasty was shocked, and Jin Zhangzong finished Yan Jing hurriedly asked Genghis Khan for peace, and offered the princess of the State of Qi to show his sincerity. Genghis Khan immediately ended the First Gold War.
Muhua Li first sealed 10,000 households
Muhuali was crowned king
In 1214, Genghis Khan attacked the Jin Kingdom for the second time, Muhua Li occupied Tokyo (present-day Liaoyang, Liaoning), defeated 200,000 Jinguo defenders, and then captured Jinzhou, Quang Ninh Province (present-day Beining, Liaoning) and other places, and the following year captured Fuzhou, from then on Liaodong and Western Liaoning were owned by the Mongols. In 1217 AD, Genghis Khan, out of the need for military strategy, decided to return the main force to the steppe, and the division passed through the Central Plains to continue to attack the Jin Kingdom, so he handed over the troops of Hongjira, Khitan and Han to the commander of Muhuali, in order to control the army in good faith, but also to reward Muhuali for his military achievements, Genghis Khan sealed Muhuali as a taishi, king, and gave the Nine Great Banners, Xiaoyu generals: "Muhuali carried out this banner and issued orders, Ru Shu himself", and told Mu Huali: "The north of Taihang, the south of Taihang, the south of Taihang, Qing Qimian zhi", which shows Genghis Khan's trust and dependence on Muhuali. Muhuali also became the first Taishi king of Mongolia, which was an honor that even Genghis Khan's brothers and sons did not get, and had the meaning of "brothers work hard and share the world"!
Mu Hua Li
Mu Huali's journey can be described as very inspiring, from a portal slave to a king with real power, which is admirable and worth learning from future generations. In later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty also invited the statue of Muhuali to the Taimiao Temple to share the royal incense, which shows the great achievements of Muhuali!
