Since the throne can only be inherited by Khan's descendants and Kublai Khan is the son of his father, what hope is there? Secondly, Kublai Khan is neither the eldest son nor the youngest son of Dad. Even if the khanate passed to Torre, Kublai Khan's chances of getting the khanate were slim. Why? Because according to the tradition of Han nationality, it is the eldest son of Di family who gets the inheritance; According to Mongolian tradition, the youngest son is in charge of the kitchen. Anyway, this has nothing to do with the second son Kublai Khan. Later, Mokhan became the sweat of many people. But even if Mokhan has a khanate, Mokhan will only pass it on to his son, not his brother Kublai Khan.
In other words, Kublai Khan's hope is slim. Third, as a Mongolian prince, Kublai Khan has little chance of becoming the emperor of the Central Plains. Before Kublai Khan, although the northern minorities invaded the Central Plains, it was very difficult to establish a unified country. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties, the northern minorities established a country in China, but did not establish a unified country. The only important thing is the establishment of Liao State in the Central Plains after the fall of Yaru Deguang. However, Nguyen Tan Dung only stayed in the Central Plains for about a month and then came back. After the establishment of Liu Zhiyuan, the Han Dynasty resumed the rule of the Chinese Empire. So it is not easy for Kublai Khan to establish a unified country.
But in the end, Kublai Khan overcame all difficulties and became not only the great Khan of Mongolia, but also the emperor of the Central Plains and the emperor of the unified country. How did he do it? I won't go into details here. I think Kublai Khan's success is noteworthy in several aspects. I have made friends with intellectuals in China since I was a child. Kublai Khan's parents attached great importance to the education of their four sons. In addition to the secretariat order of Mongolia at that time (equivalent to the prime minister), Yelu Chucai also attached great importance to the introduction of China intellectuals and the establishment of Mongolian noble academies. Kublai Khan grew up in China culture. Other Mongolian children were educated in China, which had little influence, but Kublai Khan was different. Kublai Khan also consciously brought up many intellectuals in China, and the Mongolian prince was the biggest in the process of sinicization.
This also gave him the last chance to intervene in the southern desert, thus setting an example of national unity in the Central Plains. Portrait of Mungo. Kublai Khan gained the trust of the monk Khan. Kublai Khan, as the Khan of Mokhan, won the trust of Mokhan. In fact, the monk Khan is not qualified to be Khan. But with the chaos of Godel Khan, he bypassed his son and lived in Khan, trying to pass on the khanate to his grandson. Later, he gained the Khan regime, but died two years later. Ogdale Khan's son and daughter-in-law competed for the Khan regime. In this case, with the help of Batuhan Karadeniz, Mokhan became a powerful challenger to the throne of Khan. Ba Du even sent the Bierko brothers to lead troops to support Mohan. However, there are actually two obstacles to becoming Khan.
One of them is that Genghis Khan once said that the Khan position must be passed on to the descendants of Ogdai Khan. Secondly, Godel Khan said that he would pass on the throne to the dead martyrs. This is inevitable, but Kublai Khan came up with a way. He said that Mughal Khan is the adopted son of Ogdaikhan and a descendant of Ogdaikhan, and did not go against Genghis Khan's wishes. Besides, Khan did pass the throne to the lost gate, but you took the throne from the lost gate, so Khan passed it to you from there, not against Khan's will. Kublai Khan's viewpoint perfectly solved the problem of Khan's inheritance theory. At the same time, Kublai Khan led the army to clear the way for the throne. Therefore, the monk Khan trusted Kublai Khan very much. As soon as he came to power, he sent Kublai Khan to attack Dali and then supervised Monan affairs.
