Batu was the second son of Shuchi, the grandson of Genghis Khan, in the Second Western Expedition of the Mongols, the "Eldest Son Of the West" led by Battu, batu performed well in the Second Western Expedition, leading the Mongol Iron Horse to capture a large area of territory in the Rus' principalities of Eastern Europe, Poland, Hungary and other places. After the end of the Western Expedition, the Chincha Khanate was established in the Volga River Valley, and the Chincha Khanate was also the largest of the three Mongol khanates, and The Batu Wei shook Eurasia.

Curiously, after the death of Guiyu Khan, the Mongol Empire was once again caught up in a struggle for power and profit. Batu had many favorable conditions but did not compete for the position of the Great Khan, you must know that at that time, Batu was the second son of Shuchi, because the eldest son pushed Batu to be the head, and Batu was also the de facto eldest son of Batu, that is, the eldest son of Genghis Khan, and the succession to the position of The Great Khan was completely rooted and red, and it was reasonable to say it. Moreover, mongolia flourished in military merit, and Batu was famous and famous in the Second Western Expedition, and his military merit was huge, and Batu had at least 200,000 troops in his hands, and his military strength was also the strongest. If Batu lets go, it is not impossible to compete for the sweat position. At that time, there were indeed many people who wanted to recommend Battus as the Great Khan of the Mongols, and it was strange that Battus strongly resigned and actively recommended that Torre's eldest son Möngke succeed to the Khan's throne. Batu also sent his younger brother Beerge to lead a 30,000-strong army to escort Möngke to the Mongol mainland to attend the Kurittai Conference, and the 30,000-strong army did not withdraw until Möngke ascended to the Khan's throne, which was equivalent to Batu using force to help Möngke to the position of The Great Khan of the Mongols.

Then why didn't Battus ascend to the Khan position himself, but instead supported Möngke to ascend to the Khan's seat, was Batu himself not interested in the Khan position? Of course not, Battus also wanted to be the Great Khan of all Mongolia in his heart, and the reason why he gave up the throne was really a choice of last resort, and it was even more out of a helpless choice.
Möngke Khan
The first reason is that many people have doubts about the bloodline of Battu's father, Shuchi, believing that Shuchi is not the real son of Genghis Khan, and genghis Khan did not establish Shuchi as the heir at that time, and it is estimated that this reason is also a large part. Batu, as the son of Shuchi, will naturally be affected by this factor, and Batu is estimated to be insufficient when fighting for the Khan position.
The second important reason is that the Shuchi family was already far away from the Mongolian mainland at that time, stationed in the Chincha steppe for more than twenty years, when the Mongol soldiers under the Shuchi had already intermarried with the Chincha and Russians in large numbers, married a large number of white wives, and it was estimated that the descendants were also white, these people were born in the Chincha steppe, and there was no concept of hometown for the Mongolian mainland, and it was estimated that they would return to Mongolia as the Great Khan, and it was estimated that these subordinates would not actively return to Mongolia with him. And Batu had no power to rely on in Mongolia, even if he became the Great Khan, he was just a puppet and would be driven down at any time, so it was better to run his own Chincha Khanate wholeheartedly.
Xiao Ma thought that the second reason was more important, after all, the origin problem was only speculation at the time, not to mention that Genghis Khan never denied that Shu Chi was his son before his death, as long as the fist was hard enough, he could still compete for the Khan position. Batu's fist was hard enough, but it was difficult for his fist to reach the Mongolian steppe, and it was really a helpless move to give up the Khan's position.
However, Battus did not lose money in the end, and Möngke, who was promoted to the Khanate by him, was grateful to Batu, and after Möngke came to power, he immediately granted Batu all the independent powers in the Chincha Khanate, and the Chincha Khanate also achieved de facto independence. According to historical records, Batu lived carefree in his own khanate in his later years, and life was very happy, which can also be regarded as a lost east corner, and it is a mulberry elm.
