The blessing of Mr. Todkin Yong's "Legend of the Eagle Hero", the name Tuolei is not unfamiliar to Chinese. He was the fourth (youngest) son of Genghis Khan, and was bold and shrewd, with great military talent. After the death of Genghis Khan, the third son, WoKoutai, succeeded him to the throne and dragged the country.
In "Shooting Eagles", Tuolei and the third brother Wokoutai have the best relationship, and the "benevolent" Wokoutai as the Great Khan also received the full support of Tuolei. But is the historical Wokoutai really that thick?
In fact, it was not, Wokoutai finally poisoned Tuolei, and he also died because of drinking a lot of wine.
Ironwood really arranged
Genghis Khan's eldest wife, Bo Erti, had four sons: the eldest son, Shuchi, the second son, Chagatai, the third son, Kuotai, and the fourth son, Tuolei.
They accompanied Genghis Khan on his eastern expeditions to the west and made great contributions to the foundation of the Mongol Empire.
According to the talents and specialties of his four sons, Genghis Khan assigned them different positions: Shu chi guan hunting; Chagatai was in charge of the decree; Wokoutai was the head of the dynasty; and Tuolei commanded the army.
As the founding prince of a generation, Genghis Khan had already deliberately chosen Wokoutai as his heir in his later years, which happened on the eve of Genghis Khan's 58-year-old preparation for the Western Expedition to the Flower Spicy Model Country.
Because the elder Shu chi was not his own son, which caused controversy among the people, Chagatai and others resolutely opposed Shu Chi becoming the crown prince. In Mongolia, unlike the Han Chinese, who inherited the primogeniture system, so Shuchi was his own child, and Genghis Khan may not have chosen him, because he, like Chagatai, had a violent and cruel personality.
Therefore, the candidates for the Khan position are concentrated on Wokoutai and Tore.
Of the four concubines, Genghis Khan's most beloved young son, Torrey, but after the Mongol Empire began to take shape, the deep-minded Genghis Khan realized that he needed a politician to consolidate and develop the empire he had founded, to complete his unfinished business, not just a military strategist who attacked the city. Wo Kuotai is resourceful and can govern the country more comprehensively than towing mines. Proceeding from the future of the empire, Genghis Khan restrained his love for his young son, used talent, broke the old Tradition of Mongolia, and promoted Wokoutai as his heir.
Why did Wokoutai kill Tuolei?
Under the feudal system, the emperor ascended the throne immediately after his death by his designated heir. However, since the Mongol kuriletai system (tribal council system) still functioned, Wokoutai could not succeed to the throne because of his father's will, but had to wait for the final decision of Kuriletai. Within two years of the vacancy of the throne, Tuo Lei supervised the regency.
In the autumn of 1229, the Mongol emperors and important ministers held a general meeting to elect a new Great Khan. After 40 days of controversy, some people in the court adhered to the old system, advocated the establishment of the young son Tuolei, and opposed the will of Genghis Khan. At this time, Shu chi was dead, and Chagatai fully supported Wokoutai; towing thunder was lonely, so he had to support Wokoutai. After repeated urging and persuasion from the nobles attending the meeting, WoKoutai finally obeyed his father's will, adopted the advice of the brothers, and succeeded to the Khan's throne for Emperor Taizong. It is also for this reason that Tuolei was once the only contender for the position of Wokoutai Khan.
According to Genghis Khan's arrangement, shu chi guan hunting; Chagatai was in charge of the decree; Wokoutai was the main government; and Tuolei unified the army. Because Wokoutai was in charge of the imperial court, but the army was mainly responsible for Toole, and more importantly, Tore was a military man who was in charge of 80% of the Mongol army and had strong military strength. In the battle against gold, he showed outstanding military talent. In the struggle of the Mongol court, this could not but arouse the jealousy of his brother Wokoutai.
These are the reasons why Wokoutai wants to kill Tuolei.
Seeing this, perhaps Genghis Khan's arrangement was wrong, if before his death, he let Toul Lei hand over all his troops to Wokoutai, and Tuo Lei enjoyed the treatment of a prince, would he avoid cannibalism? Of course, history has no assumptions.
Wokoutai poisoned tow mine
In 1232 AD, Tore died at the age of 40.
The Biography of Emperor Ruizong of Yuan Shi records that in 1232, "In May, Emperor Taizong did not hesitate. In June, the disease was severe. Pray to the heavens and the earth, please replace it with your body, and take the water of the witch to remove the disease and drink it. After a few days, Emperor Taizong recovered from his illness, and Tuolei returned from the north to the land of thought of Araha, and when he encountered illness, he lived forty years (one)." The Yuan Shi Taizong Ji records: "In September, Tuo Lei Xue. ”
To the effect that when Tuolei was on his way back from the Jinguo Banshi North, Wokoutai pretended to be a ghost, Tuolei served him, and the wizard chanted incantations to remove Wokoutai's diseases from the cup of water. Tuo Lei loved his brother, so he took the cup and prayed, and drank the water in the cup to remove the disease, so Wokoutai was cured of his illness, and Tuo Lei resigned and set off, and died soon after.
Many scholars believe that the water drunk by Tuolei is likely to have been poisoned by wizards or even Wokoutai.
There is a strange book, which is the royal secret book of the Mongols to record the history of their "Golden Family" (Genghis Khan's family), called the "Secret History of Mongolia" (also known as the "Yuan Secret History").
In verse 272 of the Secret History of the Mongols, the detailed process of Tuolei's death is clearly and unmistakably recorded:
In the year of the rabbit (Xin Jiao, 1231), The Song Ofe (Wo Kuotai) went out to conquer the Jin Dynasty... Camped at Longhutai. There, Hehan fell ill and could not speak. When they were sick and sad, [the people] asked the shamans and diviners to divinate, and they said, "The gods of the land and the gods of the water of the Golden Kingdom, because their people and populations were taken captive, and the cities were destroyed. ” Pictured: A shaman who was a Mongol believer During the divination, Chogaku Hehan opened his eyes and asked for water and asked, 'What's wrong?' The sorcerer said, "The gods of the land and the gods of the golden kingdom, because their places and waters have been destroyed, and the people and the population have been taken into captivity, and when divination is done, they allow (the gods) to take something else as a substitute for you, and the more anxious they are." He also asked: Can I use my relatives as a substitute, and I will slow down when I do it. Now leave it to the Holy Judgment. “ He said, "Who is the king of the sect around you now?" ” King Dzong Tuolei was at his side and said, "The Holy Father Khan Genghis Khan chose You among the brothers like a horse and a sheep, and gave you his great position, so that you could take on the heavy responsibility of ruling the people." If Brother Hehan really has an accident, many Mongolian people will become orphans, and the People of Jin will be happy, let me replace my Brother Hehan. I once split the ridge of the trout and cut off the back of the trout. I have defeated Yi Lie, stabbed and answered. I have a good face and a tall body. (You can serve God.) Wizard, come and curse! ” With that, the wizard cursed and gave the cursed water to the King of Tuolei to drink. Tuo Lei sat down for a moment and said, "I am drunk, when I wake up, please ask Brother Hehan to take good care of his lonely and young nephews and widowed sister-in-law!" What else can I say? I was drunk. ” Say it and go out, and you die. That's how it went.
That's the way it is! Tuolei drank the "cursed water" instead of Wokoutai, not on his own initiative, but at the request of the shaman who accompanied the army, Wokoutai acquiesced, and Tuolei drank the cursed water and walked out of the tent to die, nor did he get sick and die after the "Yuanshi" said.

After Tuolei dies, see how the third brother takes care of his brother and daughter-in-law!
After Tuolei's death, the family was administered by Tuolei's wife, Lu Hetiani.
She was a very capable woman, chaste, intelligent, talented, good at raising children and ruling over the people, and the Mongols called her "sayineke" (good mother). In order to annex the Tuolei family, Wokoutai actually offered to let Lu Hetiani marry his eldest son Guiyu.
The marriage of the Mongols was not as ethical as that of the Han Chinese, and it was normal for a nephew to marry a concubine, but the marriage was instigated by Lu Hetiani to refuse on the grounds that the sons were not yet adults, and Wo Kuotai was very unhappy, and arbitrarily granted the three thousand households of the Tuolei family to the second son, Kuoduan, causing great indignation among the Tuolei subordinates.
Wo Kuotai finally drank a lot of wine and suffered a stroke and died, the Khan position passed to the eldest son Guiyu, who knew that Guiyu died of illness after reigning for less than two years, at the new Khan Selection Conference, the Tuolei family was supported by the Shuchi family, Tuolei's eldest son Möngke inherited the Khan's throne, and Guiyu's wife was executed in disobedience. Since then, the Tuolei family has replaced the Wokoutai family and unified the Mongolian Yuanjiangshan.
