The first thousand five hundred and six chapters of Dayuan
"The military order was issued by Minmin herself. There is no joke in the army. Once Xiangyang City was defeated, all Minmin's achievements were in vain. Regardless of whether my father Khan intervened or not, she must marry into the Seventh Prince's Palace." Hua Zheng said quietly.
"Really?" Murong Fu looked at her with a half-smile, "This is different from the version I heard."
Hua Zheng didn't dare to look at him and asked in a low voice, "What did you hear?"
Murong Fu sneered, "I heard that your father, Temujin, had sent the Seventh Prince and his family to prison. Only because of Kublai Khan's protection, Temujin compromised and let the Seventh Prince go. Originally, considering the Seventh Prince's situation at that time,
You don't dare to bargain. Your father can definitely cancel the engagement, so why do you insist on Minmin getting married?"
"This?" Hua Zheng was slightly surprised when he heard this, "How do you know this?"
"Don't worry about how I know, just tell me what your father wants to do?"
Hua Zheng hesitated and said, "I don't know. My father is so thoughtful and I'm not involved in anything. How can I know what he wants to do?"
"You really don't know?" Murong Fu suddenly leaned over and looked at her steadily, "You are her daughter, you must know, right?"
Seeing him, Hua Zheng felt in a daze and nodded in confusion, "I know."
"tell me why?"
"I..." Hua Zheng hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Father Khan just wants to control part of Tuur's military power through Chahan."
"Tu'ur?" This was the first time Murong Fu heard this name.
"This is the Seventh Prince you mentioned. His real name is Tuur'er."
"Oh," Murong Fu suddenly realized, curling his lips and said, "It's really hard to pronounce. I mean, can't you learn the Han people's way of naming? Every name is so hard to pronounce and unpleasant to hear."
Hua Zheng rolled her eyes at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? 'Tu'ur' in our country means 'Tianbao', which is equivalent to your Central Plains' 'Wuhua Tianbao'. When transliterated, it's called 'Tu'ur'."
Murong Fu was speechless, "Okay, let's not talk about your names. You just said that your father is for the sake of soil... The military power in the hands of the Seventh Prince. I heard this statement yesterday, but I still don't believe it.
There are only more than 10,000 remaining soldiers and defeated generals, which are of no use at all. Your father and Kublai Khan are fighting over each other. Isn't it exciting?"
Hua Zheng was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "It seems that you don't understand our situation in Dayuan at all."
"Appreciate further details."
"Do you know who is behind Tu'er?" Hua Zheng asked.
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant, "Isn't he behind Kublai Khan?"
Hua Zheng shook her head.
Murong Fu frowned, "Could he be your father or Ali's brother?"
"neither."
Murong Fu lost his temper immediately and pinched her hard, "Stop trying to talk and tell her quickly."
Hua Zheng blushed, spat, and said, "You should know that the fourth brother Kublai Khan and the seventh brother Alibu are brothers. They are both the sons of my fourth brother Tuo Lei, but Tuur'er is not. He
He is my eldest brother’s son.”
"Your elder brother?"
"Yes, my eldest brother Jochi's seventh son."
"Wait a minute, brother Ali is also ranked seventh?"
"Yes," Hua Zheng seemed to have thought of something funny and said amusingly, "He and Tuur'er are both ranked seventh. In the past, there were two 'Seventh Princes', but then something happened, which angered my father.
Khan was upset, so he simply ordered them according to their age. Tuor'er was called the Seventh Prince, and Ali Buge was called the Eighth Prince. Do you want to know what happened at that time?"
"I don't want to know," Murong Fu rolled his eyes slightly, "just tell me what kind of power is behind that little...Seventh Prince."
"You guys are already ready to talk..." Hua Zheng muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said, "My eldest brother is the Khan of the Kipchak Khanate. Although he has died, the Khanate is still with his descendants.
In hand, the Seventh Prince..."
"Wait, what is the Kipchak Khanate?"
"Oh, this is my eldest brother's fiefdom..."
After Princess Huazheng's narration, Murong Fu finally understood that Temujin had divided the territory in the west and north of the Mongolian prairie among his four sons, and asked them to expand outward with all their strength. Whoever captured it would belong to them. Gradually,
The four major khanates were formed, namely the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ogedai Khanate and the Ilkhanate.
“Among them, the Kipchak Khanate is the fiefdom of my eldest brother, the Chagatai Khanate is the fiefdom of my second brother Chagatai, the Ogedai Khanate is the fiefdom of my third brother Ogedai, and the last Ilkhanate is the fiefdom of my fourth brother.
After years of expansion and annexation of the Getuolei fiefdom, these four khanates have almost annexed the surrounding Western Region countries. Because of the convenient geographical location, the Kipchak Khanate is larger than the other three khanates.
There are so many countries in total, and it has the potential to compete with most of them."
Hua Zheng explained slowly.
After hearing this, Murong Fu suddenly realized, "So your father Khan's goal is not the military power in the hands of the Seventh Prince at all, but the Kipchak Khanate behind him?"
Unexpectedly, Hua Zheng shook his head and said, "You can't say that. At first, Father Khan sent Tuur's family to prison just to warn the Kipchak Khanate. But then things got out of Father Khan's control, and the fourth child suddenly tried to protect Tuur's family.
, this move immediately aroused the vigilance of his father Khan. He didn't know whether the Kipchak Khanate had colluded with Lao Si, so he compromised and let the Tuor family go, and let Minmin marry Zha Yadu to stabilize the situation.
Tuur'er, secondly, take advantage of the situation to keep Chahan, and thirdly, if there is a chance, let Chahan gain Tuur'er's military power so as to stabilize the situation in Dadu."
Murong Fu rubbed his sore eyebrows and said, "The four great khanates, I really underestimated your great Yuan heritage. I thought you were already in decline, but I didn't expect that the four great khanates would appear again."
Hua Zheng smiled proudly when he heard this, "You don't know your opponent too well. Do you think that my father Khan conquered the West all these years in vain? Besides, my brothers are not with him, otherwise you think you
Can Xiangyang City win?"
The corner of Murong Fu's mouth twitched. He was too lazy to argue with her about this issue. In fact, he had no confidence. He didn't know what the situation was in the so-called four khanates. After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Then what do you prefer me to?"
Who will be the successor? Or does he not want to retire at all?"
"I really don't know who he likes," Hua Zheng shook his head, "but I know that he is trying his best to balance the forces of both sides for the sake of the country and the country of Dayuan."
"Balancing the forces between the two sides?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Kublai Khan is already very powerful now, and I don't think he has any intention of helping Brother Ali."
"Brother Alibu still needs help?" Hua Zheng said with a smile, "Don't listen to the wind, it will be rain, okay? Brother Alibu not only controls the power of the court, but also controls the city of Chang'an. Behind him are Chagatai and
With the support of the two great khanates of Ogedai, he also holds the earliest capitals of Mongolia, Hara and Lincheng. His power is much stronger than that of the Fourth. What does the Fourth have? In addition to an army of more than 100,000, there is only one person behind him.
Ilkhanate supports.”
Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this, "What about the Kipchak Khanate?"
"The Kipchak Khanate has not yet made a clear stance. It seems to be wavering and not sure which direction it is favoring."
"I see..." Murong Fu suddenly felt frustrated. After two days of inquiring, he thought he had learned enough about the situation in Dayuan, and he had almost figured out the details of the two princes. But after hearing what Hua Zheng said, he
Suddenly I feel like I know only the tip of the iceberg.
After taking a long breath, he said, "I would like to ask, how many troops do the four great khanates have?"
Hua Zheng rolled his eyes, "How do I know this? I never go to those places."
Murong Fu's thoughts turned and he remembered that the Crystal Palace had received news that there was a Western Region coalition force intending to reinforce Temujin, but they were stopped by Li Qiushui, who sent a message to him. Could it be that the Western Region coalition forces came from the four major khanates?
Seeing that he was silent, Hua Zheng didn't know what he was thinking. He sighed slightly and said, "Since the defeat of Xiangyang City, my father's health has been getting worse day by day, and he has to work hard for these unscrupulous descendants every day."
Murong Fu did not answer the question, and changed the topic and asked, "According to what you just said, your father Khan wanted to balance the forces between the two sides. Since Brother Ali is more powerful and has been in charge of the country for a long time, why not just directly
Pass the ball to him? Then there will be no trouble at all?"
"It would be nice if things were that simple. After all, the fourth brother has an army of 100,000 people. No matter how powerful Ali is, he can't quench his thirst in the near future. Once the position is passed carelessly, it is likely to trigger a civil war. No, it will definitely happen.
If a civil war is triggered, the four great khanates are not as peaceful as they appear, and will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos, and the Yuan Dynasty will be torn apart."
Murong Fu was immediately confused again, "You just said that the four great khanates each support two princes. At most, they are divided into two halves. How can they be divided?"
Hua Zheng explained, "The four great khanates are composed of conquered countries and races. My people are very few. Do you understand what this means? It's okay if nothing happens to most of them. Once something happens, they will definitely take action.
"
Murong Fu was still a little puzzled, "At least your father Khan is still here. With his majestic reputation..."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Zheng glared at him and said, "It's not all you. Father Khan was defeated in Xiangyang City this time, and his heroic reputation has been lost. How can he still have any prestige!"
Murong Fu smiled coquettishly, "That's not true. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. It's not like your father Khan has never suffered defeat. I heard that he suffered a lot of losses in Persia."
"That's different," Hua Zheng pressed his bad hand and said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Father Khan has been getting more and more famous all the way to this day. The soldiers and people of the Yuan Dynasty almost worshiped him as a god. The gods would not allow it.
The one who failed, with his defeat, all his former prestige was reduced to water. In the words of your Central Plains people, the higher he was praised, the more painful the fall. He was praised too highly."
"That's true. So your father Khan can no longer influence the situation in Dayuan?"
Hua Zheng didn't answer the question, and looked a little embarrassed, "You can just say what you say, but can you please don't use your hands or feet."
It turned out that while the two were talking, their ears and temples were rubbing together, and they fell in love together unconsciously.
Murong Fu didn't know what shame was, "Did I move my feet? I obviously only use my hands."
