The Battle of the Two Capitals and the Change of the Celestial Calendar: Emperor Yuanwenzong Tu Timu'er, who became emperor twice

Emperor Taiding's grandson Timur was undoubtedly the beneficiary of the "Southern Slope Change" that murdered Emperor Yuan Yingzong Shuode Bala, whether he was the mastermind or not.

However, there is another theory that Timur, the grandson of the King of Jin at the time, was elected emperor not because of his fierceness but because he was both from a prominent background and incompetent and indecisive.

However, from this statement all the way down, it is concluded that Sun Timur is even weaker than the actual executor of the Executioner, Tie Lost and others, because he is afraid of bearing the reputation of usurping the throne of the Emperor, so the new emperor is afraid, so he quickly kills all the people of Tie Lost and others -- such a thunderous means is said to be taken because of weakness and fear of bad reputation, which is really unreasonable.

In any case, this is the Taiding Emperor regime established through various twists and turns, and this bloody cruelty is clearly recorded in the history books, and it seems to have ended the 30 years of political struggle since Yuan Chengzong Timur, but it was only a short pause before the drastic changes that followed.

Emperor Taiding reigned for 5 years, and in the spring of that year, he fell ill in the royal hunting ground near Dadu and died immediately, and the Qincha, Azo, Kangli and other national guard legions that remained in Dadu began to stir under the leadership of Yan Timur, the leader of the Chincha Army.

They wanted to support Tu Timu'er, the second son of Emperor Wuzong haishan of Yuan Wuzong in Jiangling (present-day Jingzhou, Hubei).

(Emperor Wenzong of Yuan, 16 February 1304 – 2 September 1332, was the eighth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, reigned twice, reigning for a total of four years)

Haishan had two sons, the eldest son, Shi Shu and the second son Tu Ti Mu'er, who, as haishan's orphans, suffered from oppression and displacement during the reign of his uncle Emperor Renzong Aiyu Li Bali Bada and his cousin Yingzong Shuode Bada, that is, during the period when his grandmother replied to his own dictatorship.

He Shiyu was enfeoffed as the King of Zhou and went to the fiefdom of Yunnan, which itself was already similar to the distribution, but this did not satisfy the wishes of his grandmother and uncle and their favorite courtiers around them, they assassinated him when he was traveling through Shaanxi, and Heshiyu managed to escape the assassination and directly defected to the Wokoutai Khanate, and finally, during the time of Emperor Taiding, he had opened up a base of his own base in the western foothills of the Altai Mountains where his father Haishan had stayed, forming an alliance with the Chagatai Khanate.

Tu Timu'er was exiled to Hainan Island, which was not a cold resort in the eyes of the Mongols at that time, which was already a punishment second only to death, and it was only during the reign of Emperor Taiding that he was recalled to Jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu) and later transferred to Jiangling.

Yan Timur's ancestors and fathers were loyal to Haishan, and in their wars with Haidu and later wars with Haishan, he and Chincha and other ethnic groups were constantly suppressed in the Renzong and Yingzong dynasties, and they had accumulated grievances for a long time, but they were different from Tie Lost and others, they believed that Tie Lost was a party that answered themselves, and they were genuine Haishan factions.

After waiting and watching the changes, they finally waited for the death of Emperor Taiding, and in August of the lunar calendar in 1328, Yan Timur and others finally revolted in Dadu? In Shangdu, Emperor Taiding's right-hand man, Emperor Taiding, made Emperor Taiding's young son Asokji Eight emperor.

The civil war between the two capitals of the Yuan Empire and shangdu broke out, which was the "War of the Two Capitals".

(Map of the Territory of the Yuan Dynasty in 1330)

The battle between the two capitals took 2 months, at the beginning, the Shangdu side took the initiative to attack, forming a strategic encirclement posture on the capital, the war was fully unfolded in Juyongguan, Changping, Huairou, Tongxian and other areas, most of the capitals first stubbornly resisted, and then won and lost each other, when they saw that the Shangdu side was like the end of the strong crossbow, many troops turned to the side of the capital, and the balance of the battlefield began to tilt. At the same time, Timur, one of the three eastern royal clans guarding Liaodong and the Hesar family, attacked Shangdu from the flank, and the base camp of the already empty city was raided, which was the last straw that crushed the remnants of emperor Taiding's forces.

When The fall of Therasha and the others surrendered, the Taiding Emperor Aragi Viii did not know the end, and most of the capitals won a great victory, and Tu Timu'er was proclaimed emperor.

However, the story was not over, and with the support of central Asian and Mongol forces represented by the Chagatai Khanate, Heshi Began to march to the East. His army came all the way east and was warmly welcomed by the Mongol princes and nobles and the soldiers and civilians of the Mongol headquarters.

The dispute between Haishan and The Brothers of Ayuli Bali Bada and even the situation of the brotherly dispute between Kublai Khan and Ali Bu Brother seems to have appeared again——

And the YuanWuzong Haishan, which can be called the mainstay of the mainstream, is worthy of a martial word

Emperor Yuanwenzong Tu Timu'er wrote in his enthronement edict:

I would like to honor the eldest brother with the heart of giving in to each other.

Therefore, in terms of legitimacy, it could not compete with the Heshi side, so it had to make a gesture of abdication.

Originally, for the so-called Haishan faction headed by Yan Timur, there was nothing wrong with electing Andshi Yu as emperor, but now they were asked to hand over the power and merit they had gained through the battle of the two capitals, so that He Shiyu, who had been trying to express his gratitude to the Chagatai family, came to power, and in the future, the world of the Yuan Dynasty would not be controlled by his own side, so Yan Timur was determined.

Compared with the Yan Timur side, which had already started to kill, Heshi Yu was leisurely and relaxed, full of a relaxed sense of victory, and even left the Chagatai Khanate army supporting him in the north of the desert, taking a few people south alone.

On this day, they came to the "Jade Kuchadu", and 2 days later, they met with Shi shu and the "Crown Prince" Tu Timu'er, who had come from the capital north, and held a celebratory banquet that included members of the royal family and the ministers of the kings, and 4 days later, He Shi Yu suddenly died at the age of 30.

(He Shiyu, 22 December 1300 – 30 August 1329, ninth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, reigned 27 February 1329 – 30 August 1329, reigned for 6 months, was the eldest son of Emperor Wuzong of Yuan, brother of Emperor Wenzong of Yuan, father of Emperor Yuanshun)

On the same day, the "Crown Prince" Tu Ti Mu'er performed a mourning ceremony, after which Yan Timur handed the jade seal back to Tu Ti Mu'er in the name of the late emperor and Empress Shi Yu, and his men and horses quickly withdrew from Yu Ku Cha Du, and 9 days later, in the main hall of the Shangdu Palace, Tu Ti Mu'er held a grand "restoration" ceremony, and became emperor for the second time, and he continued to use the celestial calendar of he Shi Yu's era name.

The violent death and defeat of Heshizong is called the "change of the Celestial Calendar", and sometimes, historians also combine the two parts of the Battle of the Two Capitals and the defeat of Heshiyu as the "Change of the Celestial Calendar" - "The Change of the Celestial Calendar" (later Yuan Wenzong hid the truth about his murder of Emperor Mingzong, and only called Yuanmingzong and Shixue died of violent illness, but the whole world was full of fire about this farce.

The "celestial calendar change" was also an important turning point, when the authority of the Yuan Emperor or the Great Mongol Khan fell to the bottom, and the central political situation was in the hands of the Guards corps of Chincha, Azov, and Kangli, as their mamluk legions did in West Asia and North Africa.

What is more interesting is that it was in 1328 that Zhu Yuanzhang, a poor family in the south, was born.
