"Mongolian Four Mastiffs", known as "Four Dogs" in the "New Yuan History", Mastiff is just a nice name, in fact, it means that. Genghis Khan Temujin referred to his four powerful arrows: TheRa, Kublai, Subutai, and Tetsubetsu as the Four Dogs, proving that they moved very quickly and fought very fiercely. They possess "copper foreheads, chisel-like mouths, iron hearts, and awl-like tongues."
Mongol knights
One of the "Four Mastiffs" participated in the two Western Expeditions of the Mongols, he was Subutai; one of them participated in the Western Expedition, he was Tetsubetsu; and two, they helped Temujin unify Mongolia, not because they were incompetent, but because they died too early, otherwise they would also appear on the land of the Europeans. These two men are The One who is the One and the Kublai.
Tetsubetsu
He is Temujin's blessed general, who has saved Temujin from danger several times, while Kublai is Temujin's sharp blade, the blade is indestructible!
Kublai will come, and the tiger will come, the Mongolian Barucha people. The origin of the Baruch clan goes back to the eighth ancestor of Temujin, in short, and Temujin is related.
Kublai
When Temujin was revitalizing the Beggars, Kublai and his younger brother Kudus came to defect. Both of them fought in almost all of the later wars in Which Temujin unified Mongolia.
Kublai was the kind of person who regarded Temujin as a god, loyal, and obedient. He is like a knife in Temujin's hand, defending Temujin's dignity at any time, and at critical moments, he cut through thorns and thorns to escort Temujin. Therefore, Temujin made him the "Yundu Chi" (guard with a knife) in the cowardly Xue army.
Genghis Khan
The Cowardly Xue Army was the ultimate core force of the Mongol Empire, and he could only be composed of the old nobles of the Mongolian steppe, defending the supreme power of the Mongol Empire. The person who was specifically responsible for guarding Temujin was the "Yundu Chi" in the Cowardly Xue Army, in addition to the "Horqin" (archer), "Borchi" (drinker), and "Aheitachi" (imperial horse official).
Timid Xue Jun
Temujin's wars against Mongolia were numerous, and the Mongol tribes were widely distributed, and their names were difficult to remember, so without a clear order and a map of the Mongolian steppe, it was difficult to figure out how Temujin unified Mongolia. Please take a look at the map:
Mongol ministries
Temujin is the Mongol Beggars, and there are three clans in the Beggars: (Taichi Wushi, Main Child Qishi and Bo'er Only Jin), and Temujin is the Bo'er Only Jin clan. In 1189 Temujin was called Khan, in fact, the Khan of the Beggars. In the vicinity of the Qiyan tribe, there are also relatively medium-sized tribes such as the Wulianghebu, the Zadaranbu, the Tatarbu, the Hongjirabu, and the Qi'erqibu. Temujin gradually unified these tribes after the Battle of the Thirteen Wings. Next to these tribes, there were the more powerful Krebs and Naimans. It was only after conquering these two tribes that Temujin truly unified the whole of Mongolia. In 1206, Temujin called khan, the khan of the entire Mongolian steppe.
Kublai had joined since the unification of Temujin's Beggars, so his position in Temujin's army was very high.
In the "Battle of Koyita" of the combined forces of the Zamuhe Tatars, Temujin appointed Kublai and Tetsubetsu to straighten out military discipline, punish Aletan and Kucha'er, who violated orders to plunder property in the war, and set up their looted property and distributed it to the army, so as to make military discipline solemn.
Kublai also acted as a vanguard, threatening and strengthening the enemy, and most of his military achievements.
Map of the Mongol Conquest
When the Mongol State was established, Kublai was made the head of a thousand households and in charge of the military affairs of the Khanate. He is subordinate to Temujin's fifth son, Koleken.
During the Mongol conquest of the Western Liao, Kublai forced the lord of the Khazar tribe, Alslan Khan, to surrender, and took him on a pilgrimage to the palace of the Tilulian River (present-day Krullen River) to pay homage to Temujin. At this time, Temujin was really counterattacking the Golden Kingdom with all his might.
Before the Mongols could launch the first western expedition, Kublai died. Both he and Erle died early, so they did not appear in the later Western Expedition.
Genghis Khan's sword was gone, but he also had an arrow— the Mongol Arrow, Tebetsu, and it was his valor that brought the Mongols to the whole of Central Asia.
