Why did Kublai Khan sweat like rain under the collective opposition of the princes on the Mongolian grassland?

The princes on the Mongolian grassland opposed Kublai Khan, which began when Mongolia sent Kublai Khan to the south to operate. After Meng Ge came to power, his primary goal was to attack and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. He first sent Kublai Khan to destroy Dali, and then recalled Kublai Khan and asked him to go to Guo Xu's original address (Mongolians called it "Monan") to prepare for attacking the Southern Song Dynasty in the future.

After Kublai Khan arrived in Monan, he began to recruit Han intellectuals at the original site of Guo Xu. Including Yao Shu, Hao Jing, Lian Xixian and many others. With the help of these Han intellectuals, Kublai Khan's thoughts soon showed a trend of China. For example, we lived in a house of the Han people, built a city of the Han people, and carried out local management according to the system of the Han people. Set up the administrative system, set up schools, collect taxes and so on according to the methods of the Han people.

Kublai Khan's practice was immediately met with great dissatisfaction from the governors on the Mongolian grassland. They are mainly opposed to three points: first, Kublai Khan changed the laws of his ancestors and acted according to the rules of the Han people rather than the rules of the grassland. This is forgetting one's ancestors, all wet. Second, Kublai Khan collected taxes according to the methods of the Han people, but the taxes he collected were not turned over to the central treasury, and most of them were intercepted by him. Third, Kublai Khan made an independent kingdom in the south. Including Yao Shu, Hao Jing and other ministers, they all knew Kublai Khan, but they didn't recognize Mongolian Khan.

Therefore, the princes on the Mongolian grassland kept saying in front of Mongo that Mongo must punish Kublai Khan. Meng Ge didn't take it seriously at first, but when the princes on the Mongolian grassland talked too much, he was tempted. I began to hook up with Kublai Khan's ministers. The so-called "cross-checking" is mainly to check their accounts and see where their taxes have been paid. This time, the "hook test" tortured those people under Mongo. But in the end, Mongo softened his attitude and stopped the operation.

He also relieved Kublai Khan of his military power and sent him home to be a "rich man". However, this release was soon restored by Kublai Khan. Because at that time, I met Meng Ge and led an army to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. Mungo's military action is divided into three parts. Part of it was led by Taghachar, who attacked the south from the Central Plains. Some of them were attacked by Mongo from Sichuan to the east;

Part of it was led by Uriyangqatai, who attacked from south to north in Dali. Mungo and Uriyangqatai attacked well, but Taghachar attacked badly. Therefore, Mongo had to call Kublai Khan, who was idle at home, and let him lead the army to fight. In this military operation, Mungo asked his little brother Ali Bouguer to guard Mobei's base camp. Soon, Meng Ge was killed in Sichuan Fishing City.

After Mungo's death, Kublai Khan and Alibaba Brother faced the problem of fighting for the position of Khan. At that time, Alibaba received almost the support of the entire prairie princes, while Kublai Khan received little support. But in the end, Kublai Khan won the position of Khan, and Ali Buge failed. What's going on here? I think there are three main reasons.

First, Kublai Khan pre-empted. After Mungo's death, Ali Buge wrote to Kublai Khan many times, asking Kublai Khan to return to Mobei as soon as possible to discuss a meeting in Hohhot and recommend a new Khan. Brother Ali's idea is very clear, that is, let Kublai Khan return to the north, control him, and then do whatever he wants.

Of course, Kublai Khan would not be at his mercy, so he started first, called some people to open Hulitai, and elected him Khan. In this way, he immediately raised the flag. Ancient communication was underdeveloped, and ordinary people didn't know the truth. When they saw Kublai Khan sweating, they thought he was really sweating. After Kublai Khan became a great Khan, Ali's brother was also called Hu Litai, which made everyone call him a great Khan. Although he won the collective support of the governors on the Mongolian grassland, it was too late, and he did not take the initiative in public opinion.

Second, Kublai Khan controlled the military power. Kublai Khan's army is the part that he led to attack the Southern Song Dynasty from north to south. Under his training, this part of the army was brave and good at fighting, and was well-trained on the battlefield in the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, Kublai Khan himself managed the south for many years and still had great military strength. Alibaba Bug had fewer troops, and there were few troops left at home at that time. After Mongo was killed in the battlefield in Sichuan, there were only 20 thousand troops left in Mobei, Mongolia, and they were still weak soldiers. Therefore, in terms of combat power, Kublai Khan is much higher than Ali Bouguer.

Third, Kublai Khan won the support of Xu Liewu. At that time, the Mongolian army was divided into four parts: one was the main force led by Mongo, the other was the left-wing army led by Kublai Khan, and the other was the right-wing army led by Uriyangqatai. Xu Liewu led some people to attack West Asia. In the end, only 20,000 of Mungo's troops returned to Mobei to be under the command of Ali Bug. Uriyangqatai's army eventually merged into Kublai Khan's hands. The rest is Xu Liewu's army, and Xu Liewu's army also affects the direction of the whole battlefield. But on the issue of Xu Liewu, Kublai Khan once again pre-empted.

He sent someone to contact Xu Liewu and said to Xu Liewu, if you support me, I will allow you to be independent. In other words, you can establish your own independent kingdom in West Asia. This is a great temptation for Xu Liewu. Because if Xu Liewu supports Ali Buge, then he is at most a sovereign. But if he chooses to support Kublai Khan, then he will become the dominant Khan. What's more, the Alibaba brothers have not contacted anyone yet, so they support Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's power is absolutely dominant, and at the same time he wants to solve the problem by force. Therefore, even if Ali Bouguer won the support of the governors of the whole grassland, he was still no match for Kublai Khan. (Reference:
