In 1227 AD, according to the Ganzhi Chronology, it was the Year of the Dinghai Pig.
In this year, Henry III on the other side of the ocean began to govern pro-government, and the Pope began to elect a new term.
Across the sea, Japan changed yuan Yongzhen, and Puxian Wannu established himself as king, and it has been more than four years.
In the land of the Central Plains, Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty admired the talents of the theorist Zhu Xi and posthumously awarded him the title of Taishi.
If you calculate carefully, this year is a small and insignificant matter, and no major events have happened, if there is one major event, it is the death of Temujin, the leader of the Mongolian steppe.
This generation of heroes who have never been ancient before and have never come after has completed his life journey and passed away.
Prior to this, he had pacified the Mongol tribes, traveled in all directions of the steppe, attacked Jin in three ways, made expeditions to the Western Liao, swept away Eastern Europe, and overthrew the Huarazm Dynasty.
On the eve of his death, he organized a military campaign against the Western Xia, and only one step away could make the Western Xia kingdom game over.
The Mongols regarded this "Genghis Khan" of the Southern Expedition and the Northern War as a god, but Temujin was also a human being, and the long-term uninterrupted war and captivity had completely destroyed his body, and during the conquest of the Western Xia, he finally could not hold on.
Before his death, he left this sentence to his descendants:
If the false way is to Song, Jin, song's worldly hatred, will grant me.
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, he asked his descendants to take advantage of the hatred passed down from generation to generation in the Song and Jin dynasties, and to use the Southern Song Dynasty to unite the Song dynasty to destroy the Jin.
Temujin understood that the Western Xia was only used to brush up on their own experience, and if they wanted to completely conquer the Central Plains, they had to clean up the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
If you want to overthrow the Jin Dynasty, it is not enough to rely on your own strength, you must open a black score with the Southern Song Dynasty.
After cleaning up the Jin Dynasty, it is really not possible to sell teammates again, and it is not enough to clean up the Southern Song Dynasty.
After arranging the work deployment, his eyes were closed, his legs were kicked, and he died at the age of sixty-six.
Although Temujin died, he left behind four sons.
(Temujin)
The eldest son, Shu Chi, had no intention of chasing the deer from the Central Plains, and went it alone, founding the Golden Horde.
The second son, Chagatai, saw that the eldest brother had gone it alone, and he also learned from him and established the Chagatai Khanate.
Only the old three nests of Kuotai and the old fourth Tuolei, not forgetting their father's last wishes, destroyed the Western Xia, destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and almost destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.
Wokoutai is intelligent and wise, responsible for managing things, that is, being a great khan, towing can fight good battles, responsible for leading the army to fight outside, equivalent to being a general.
The two elder brothers were divided into groups, laying a large territory for Mongolia, and after the death of the two, the Khan's position fell to the hands of Guiyu, the son of Wokoutai.
But unfortunately, Guiyu's brother was only a soy sauce maker, and after two years in power, he received a bento, collapsed, and died.
Comrade Guiyu had no children and no daughters, so the Khan position had to be transferred to the hands of Tuolei's heirs.
The first to come up as the Great Khan was Tuolei's eldest son, Möngke, who can be said to be a ruthless man, and immediately after becoming a Great Khan, he rode on a big horse and stepped on a spear to fight with the Southern Song Dynasty.
Since the Southern Song Dynasty government made a "joint Mongolian anti-gold" loss transaction with Mongolia, it not only lost the barrier of its old neighbor Jinguo, but also greatly depleted the level of national strength, and within two days, It was finished by Meng Ge and was on the verge of extinction.
But Möngke's life is like that desolate and tragic poem: Zhuangzhi dies before he is paid.
If you give him a little more time, then he may be the one who left his name in Qingshi.
But unfortunately, Meng Ge saw that he was about to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty, and suddenly died violently, saying that if he did not, he would be gone.
It is true that the first second is still on the horse, and the next second it falls down and dies violently.
Say that death is death, do not give a little time, so that Mungo did not have time to leave a will.
Möngke's younger brothers Kublai Khan and Ali Bu brothers saw an opportunity, and the two began to seize the throne.
As the protagonist of this article, Kublai Khan certainly has the aura of a protagonist, and he pressed Ali Buge, who raised an army to rebel and seized the throne, and finally calmed the interior of Mongolia, that is, the khan.
A hundred years of time, passing clouds.
With the efforts of successive Mongol khans, the Mongol Empire has changed from a small county town with five lines to a first-line metropolis step by step.
The Western Xia, Tubo, Dali, and Jin Dynasties, one after another, were trampled under the feet of the Mongols, turned into powder, and disappeared into the long river of history.
After Comrade Kublai Khan ascended to the Khanate throne, he felt that although the Mongol army looked at who did not obey who was taking care of whom, and fought in a war, such a large group of people, who operated in a very primitive steppe environment all day, was a little too shabby.
So he decided to establish his own country like the Central Plains regime.
(Kublai Khan)
In 1271, Kublai Khan made the capital of Beijing, and the Yuan Dynasty was officially established.
At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, it was not a unified central government, but this was not important to Kublai Khan, because the Southern Song Dynasty could be destroyed, and the elimination of this Central Plains regime was only a matter of minutes.
Many history buffs of the Song Dynasty believe that the Yuan Dynasty was the nemesis of the Southern Song Dynasty, and they were destined to have a decisive battle.
Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty attached great importance to the Yuan Dynasty, because its own little life was in the hands of others.
But the Yuan Dynasty may not take the Southern Song Dynasty seriously, because the Yuan Dynasty did not target the Southern Song Dynasty, and his initial dream was not to just destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, but to conquer the whole world.
Of course, the whole world depends on how far the Mongol horses can run.
The Southern Song Dynasty was only a small obstacle to the Yuan Dynasty and to Kublai Khan.
So the Yuan Dynasty's line to the Southern Song Dynasty should be: I destroy you, what do you have to do with it?
Kublai Khan's real headache was Japan.
At that time, Japan was in the era of the Kamakura shogunate, which meant that in the past, Japan was a nobleman in power, the Mongols went to all over the world, of course, Japan also went, the local aristocratic forces were respectful to the Mongols, and Japan and Mongolia were at peace.
Later, when the nobility stepped down and the Japanese samurai comrades came to power, these samurai advocated the spirit of Bushido, and of course it was impossible to bow down to the Mongols, which annoyed Kublai Khan.
You are a small country in the land of bullets, I will not hit you with your life, that is to give you face, you actually dare to kick your nose in the face now, you see if I can't clean up, you're done.
In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent troops to attack Japan.
In the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent troops to attack Japan.
By the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan's army divided into two routes and once again expeditioned to Japan.
This is considered to be related to Japan.
Flipping through the history books, we find that Kublai Khan spent most of his time fighting with his Japanese neighbors, a small country in Fanbang.
Even invading Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then taking the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty into a pot at Yashan And destroying the Southern Song Dynasty, only to fight the Japanese state from the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty to the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty.
The seas are swept away, and the universe is clear.
The Yuan Dynasty became the first national unified regime to enter the Central Plains in thousands of years.
Kublai Khan became the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Kublai Khan, who became emperor, did not abolish the political system of the Southern Song Dynasty, but instead retained all the various institutions and administrative officials of the Southern Song Dynasty, and directly copied it and arranged it for the Yuan Dynasty.
From this incident, we can also get a truth, that is, the overall political system and direction of governance in the Southern Song Dynasty are not a big problem, and if there is a problem, Kublai Khan cannot change it or change it.
Not only is it no problem, but Kublai Khan will also call out in the bed at night to be useful.
Historically, minority regimes have had a very strong psychology of exclusion.
To a certain extent, they are afraid of the Central Plains culture, afraid of being assimilated, and afraid of losing their unique national spirit.
But Kublai Khan was very different from the previous ethnic minority emperors, he liked Han culture very much, and reused Han Chen, a Han minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Dong Wenbing, and Kublai Khan actually directly called him "Big Brother Dong".
No blowing, no black, that's what it's called.
The minister is called Brother, kublai Khan is the only one in the world.
In the economic field, Kublai Khan felt that although gold and silver jewelry was hard currency, it was still too bulky to be used as a money maker, so he invented paper money creatively, which can be said to be a great feat.
In terms of people's livelihood, at the beginning of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the war ravaged the Central Plains, and the people's lives were miserable, and Comrade Kublai Khan opened the granary and made a big public welfare, saving the lives of many Ordinary People.
In terms of public opinion, although the Mongols believed in immortality, Kublai Khan did not limit what the people under the Yuan Dynasty had to believe, during that period, Buddhism, Muslims, Islam, and Taoism blossomed, and Comrade Lao Ku also contributed his own strength to the development of religion.
(Mongolian Culture)
Personally, I think that many Yuan historians and historians have an overly stereotyped impression and attitude towards the Yuan Dynasty.
When it comes to Meng Yuan, when it comes to Temujin and Kublai Khan, opening your mouth is killing, war, violence,
But in fact, if a regime kills without leniency, it cannot win in that era.
Kublai Khan did have moments of brutal killing, but he also had years of being kind to Li Min.
There is no need to look at history one-sidedly, because history is not a family word, nor is it a cold word on paper, it is alive and vivid.
Throughout the ages, people often like to summarize the life of an emperor in three words.
Tyrannical kings, heartless kings, good kings, evil kings.
But are we really summarizing accurately? Do we really know these emperors?
Your short words, one sentence, one article, that is the vast life of others for decades.
With the advent of the era of self-media, people have forgotten our original intention of writing history.
Supporting a family is an inevitable need, but to support a family is to arbitrarily modify, comment on, and smear historical figures?
We comment so casually on historical figures from the past, so how will future generations evaluate us a thousand years from now?
Or is our generation already filled with money and desire and cannot survive history?
Like I once read an article a few days ago, it actually said that shabu-shabu lamb was invented by Kublai Khan.
Of course, I can't believe it, thinking that this must be a marketing number to win eyeballs and rumors.
Kublai Khan invented shabu-shabu lamb? Why don't you say that KFC was opened by Zhu Yuanzhang?
But when I looked through some relatively authoritative Yuan Dynasty historical materials, I actually found that this was actually true.
Friends, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty who single-handedly created the Southern Expedition to the North and the Southern War was actually a foodie who invented shabu lamb.
(Yuan Shizu and Shabu Lamb)
It seems that history is indeed rigorous and indeed full of fun.
This is also the charm of history.
By the eighteenth year of the 18th century, Kublai Khan's wife Chabi died.
Twenty-three years later, his son Zhenjin passed away.
It is said that the royal family has no family affection since ancient times, but Kublai Khan is a very affectionate emperor.
The successive deaths of his wife and Aiko made Kublai Khan very sad, he began to give up on himself, crazy and degenerate, all day long nightclubs and bars KTV lingering, long-term stay up late drinking, completely destroyed the body of this horse-grown athlete.
In the first month of the 31st year of the New Year, the capital is full of joy, the New Year is coming, and the people are illuminated, and there is peace and prosperity.
Amid the jubilant sound of firecrackers, Kublai Khan closed his eyes at the age of seventy-nine.
The first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty played a role, but the real story has just begun.
