Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan, who was the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty?
It can be said that Kublai Khan completed the China of the Mongolian Empire, and he himself became the first son of heaven to come to China.
China's history books describe various magical phenomena when the emperor was born. It seems that this is the only way to prove that he is the only thrill. For example, when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was born, there was reddish phosgene around the delivery room, accompanied by a strange smell that lingered. Lu Ye Baoji, the mother of Liao Taizu, dreamed that the sun fell into her arms and she was pregnant. So Kublai Khan, like other emperors in the history of China, became the object of legend in later generations, and even Genghis Khan knew that he had become emperor.
According to legend, Genghis Khan was very surprised when he saw the newborn Kublai Khan, saying that the child's face actually looked like a Central Plains person.
In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a Mongolian named Che Bao wrote a book about Mongolian history, The Origin of Mongolia. According to the book, as early as 1227, when Genghis Khan was dying, Kublai Khan, who was only 1 1 years old, was appointed as the successor of the future Khan. Genghis Khan said, "Listen carefully to what Kublai Khan said. He will inherit me one day, and you will treat him like you were born. "
So, is this really the case?
1265438+On September 23, 2005, Kublai Khan, the future emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, was born in the camp of Wonan River (now the Erne River in Mongolia). In Genghis Khan's golden family with many children, Kublai Khan's birth is not a big deal.
In the History of the Yuan Dynasty, there is only one simple sentence about Kublai Khan's birth: "Saito Saito, the ancestor, made great contributions to the Wenwu emperor, and avoided Kublai Khan, the fourth son of Emperor Zong Rui. Mother Zhuang Sheng, the Empress Dowager, is afraid of her family. Born in August, Yi Hai. "
In fact, no one thought that this baby would become what Kyle Poirot called "the most powerful monarch who ruled people, land and wealth since Adam's time."
However, Kublai Khan was born at the right time, and the most brilliant heyday in Mongolian history has arrived. Genghis Khan is leading a great army to rush down from the Mongolian plateau like a flood, tirelessly conquering all known or unknown territories, and an unprecedented huge empire in human history is waiting for the descendants of the golden family to inherit it.
His father, Tuo Lei, is the largest city and land in Mongolia.
12 15 When Kublai Khan was born, the Mongolian army swept the old enemy Jin Guo with devastating force. Xu Jin's army was beaten out of the water, and its misery was comparable to that of the Northern Song Dynasty 100 years ago. Even Zhongdu (now Beijing) was captured by the Mongols. Emperor Jin Guo was forced to move his capital to Nanjing (now Kaifeng, Henan) in order to avoid the storm on the grassland.
The newborn Mongolian empire is like the rising sun. Even though Kublai Khan did nothing, he could live a comfortable life as a king.
Many people often embellish their memories of their ancestors' glory. Cherchinsak is a descendant of Kublai Khan. They believe that Kublai Khan shouldered an important mission as early as his birth, and will become the sweat of the people on horseback, realizing the cause that Liao and Jin failed to achieve-leading "all descendants of Canglang and Bailu" to conquer all the territories of China.
Obviously, Genghis Khan could not have said such things to Kublai Khan, who was 1 1 year old. This is because he did not pass the sweat on to Kublai Khan's father, Tuo Lei, but chose Sanzi Wokuotai.
Politically, conditions and opportunities are often more important than talents. Just like playing football, Kublai Khan didn't even make the list of 22 people. How can he score?
