At that moment, Genghis Khan thought a lot.
The monarchs of the Central Plains are said to be lonely, Taoist and few, because rulers must be lonely. The conqueror is even more lonely, and Genghis Khan, who built an entire regime from scratch and traveled thousands of miles with iron hooves, put aside those who could not join hands with him and those who had conflicts of interest with him at every step of the way. People, even blood relatives, are no exception.
He once killed his half-brother Begter over a fight for food.
He relied on the power of Anda Jamuka and his adoptive father Wang Han to develop and grow, but he met the two of them in battle and eventually killed Anda and his adoptive father.
His brother Hesar was brave and good at fighting, and his prestige was second only to him, so he used the wizard's mouth to accuse Hesar of having evil intentions and planned to kill him, and finally deprived Hesar of his rights and tribes. The people made him die in depression.
Is this because Genghis Khan is mean and unkind? Is it because he doesn't have normal human feelings?
No. The reason for this is that if he wants to achieve his ambitious goals, he must unite the efforts of everyone. But everyone in this world is selfish and lazy. Countless ethnic groups on the grassland have been content with plundering and internal strife for thousands of years. Just like the rotation of stars in the sky repeats itself year after year, Genghis Khan wants them to integrate into one, wants them to conquer continuously, and wants them to learn to rule. How can it be easy?
The more companions and subordinates he had, the more chaotic thoughts he had. Genghis Khan had to constantly eliminate people with distracting thoughts and eliminate those who were holding back or hostile, in order to push the Mongols as a whole forward.
This process of promotion is not only a process in which he continues to seize interests, but also a process in which he helplessly watches the people around him being coerced by interests; a process in which Genghis Khan becomes more and more respected, and a process in which he becomes more and more lonely. .net
Genghis Khan tried to establish a system to regulate all this, but wasn't the process of establishing ninety-five thousand households on the grassland also accompanied by conspiracy and killing?
After that, when Genghis Khan himself suffered setbacks in the Central Plains, the looming connection and resistance of thousands of Nayan people never stopped! In order to launch the Western Expedition, Genghis Khan had to kill a city full of blood on the grassland, killing at least a dozen thousand households!
Sadly, this happens over and over again and it won't stop.
When the goal of the Western Expedition was successfully achieved, Genghis Khan's four sons all made great achievements and controlled huge power. Genghis Khan relied on the power of his four sons to finally completely suppress the remnants of the system on the grassland, making The Mongols gradually ceased to be tribal people and became subjects of the Great Khan.
But at the same time, Genghis Khan's sons were coerced by interests and tried to achieve something under the eyes of the Great Khan.
At this moment, Jochi's attitude was also the attitude of the Mongols, Uighurs, and Khwarezm people under Jochi's command.
Many of the Mongolians under Jochi brought their families and went on the expedition as a whole tribe. After two years of fighting, they discovered more and more the benefits of the Kipchak grassland. They felt that the water and grass here were as fertile as those in their hometown, and they could just occupy it and leave it to their descendants.
The Uighurs could not fight a tough battle, but they were generally smart. They relied on the Mongols to make money everywhere, hoping that the Mongols would continue to move west so that they could follow and plunder.
The troops of Khwarezm were indeed exhausted, so everyone just wanted to rest. No matter whether they went east or west, it would cost them their lives.
The Kipchaks who had surrendered to Jochi were eager to introduce the power of Mongolia into the Kipchak grassland, and even coveted countless countries further away, so that they could pretend to be the masters of the tiger.
Combined, these people total more than 100,000 people. Their thoughts and ideas have different emphases, but what they have in common is that they do not want to go to the East, let alone face a new enemy. The attitude expressed by Jochi was the attitude of these people.
Of course, Jochi is not a fool and will not be easily coerced. Everyone used him to express their attitude to Genghis Khan, and he also used everyone to express his true attitude to Genghis Khan.
Because Jochi has always been suspected because of his family lineage. Chagatai once publicly stated that Jochi was a descendant of the Merqid tribe and was not qualified to be the successor of the Great Khan. Jochi was the commander-in-chief of the Mongols in the Kipchak grasslands. He was Jochi Khan with thousands of miles of territory and millions of people; back to
Genghis Khan was surrounded by only sons of doubtful blood...
So why did he come back?
Such behavior was indeed tantamount to betrayal for Genghis Khan. That's why he was so furious, but Lian Zhongshan's nonsense words suddenly reminded Genghis Khan.
During the Western Expedition, Jochi was not the first son to suffer the outpouring of his own wrath.
More than a year ago, Tuo Lei used a large number of Han civil and military personnel, trying to use the system of the Jin Kingdom to control the newly conquered land and people, and almost built a country within a country in the river, and Tuo Lei was a country within this country. The controller of the country.
This move touched the interests of a large number of Mongolians, and people were furious for a while, which led to Genghis Khan's rage.
So Genghis Khan sent Qixue and his ministers to dismiss all the local officials appointed by Tuolei in just one month, destroy the governance system organized by Tuolei, and then re-station Daruhuachi. Daruhuachi, who asked the Mongols to serve, governed the place strictly in accordance with Genghis Khan's Dazhasa. This caused turmoil in many places and killed no less than hundreds.
When Tuo Lei rushed back to Genghis Khan's tent, fearing to plead guilty, Genghis Khan was still angry. He personally took a riding crop and beat Tuo Lei until his head and face were covered with blood. He fainted on the spot; the next day, he directly deprived him of his life. All the power and status allowed him to return to the east and become a spy.
But……
After Tuo Lei left, would the forces of the Hanchen, Khitan, and Jurchens cease to exist?
Genghis Khan's western expedition conquered such a vast land in two years. The most critical point is that the Mongolian army's continuous failures in the Central Plains forced them to pay attention to and learn from the military expertise of the Central Plains.
When the Mongolian army crossed the Temur Chancha Pass, they built forty-eight large bridges along the way, and most of the people responsible were people from the Central Plains.
When the Mongolian army attacked a city, it was still the people from the Central Plains who provided all kinds of siege equipment.
When the Mongolian army was blocked in the camp along the Amu Darya River, it was Guo Baoyu who sent fire boats from the upper reaches to burn the camp. Then he boarded the boat to cross the river and defeated the coalition forces of the Khorasan ministries. It was still those who surrendered from the Central Plains.
They had meritorious deeds, so they were favored by Tuo Lei, and then they surrounded Tuo Lei and governed Hezhong Mansion according to the Han family system.
And after Tuo Lei left, they were still here.
As long as the Mongols wanted to rule in the river, they would never be able to do without them. It's just that they hide their influence in a low-key manner behind Daruhuachi everywhere. Genghis Khan knew very well that if the shepherds on the grassland suddenly took charge of a city, they would really not be able to do it well. In the end, they would have to listen to the people from the Central Plains!
Not to mention that Daru Huaqi was everywhere, even Chagatai used the Hadith to talk about things all day long... The people who compiled the Hadith for him and secretly came up with ideas on how to please the Khan were not just a few Han ministers. ?
Then, here comes the problem.
After the Western Expedition, Mongol Uluth also expanded too much, and many impurities inside it could not be removed as before. Because this impurity includes Han people, Jurchens, Khitans, Uighurs, Kipchaks, Khwarezmians and even various scattered tribes in the old Western Liao areas... They are already part of the Mongolian regime, and even part of the Mongolian regime The basis for existence.
When this foundation has its appeal, even Genghis Khan cannot ignore it. Fortunately, it was the sons of the Great Khan who acted as spokespersons for their interests.
The son is in awe of his father after all, and he is inherently weak. After all, the sons still retain the brotherhood between each other. Even if they represent different interests, they will not completely break up.
If these new members of the Mongolian regime did not surround themselves with the son of the Great Khan, but surrounded others, wouldn't it be more troublesome and difficult to suppress?
Adhesion Zhongshan finally knew that Tuo Lei would never watch his eldest brother being executed by the Great Khan... If the person behind him was not Tuo Lei, how could he not take the opportunity to fan the flames?
