Chapter strong reasons
In the early days of Zhiyuan, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, began to enfeoff the princes as kings in accordance with the suggestions of some Han ministers, and led troops out of the imperial court to set up a system of sects and kings leaving the town. For example, the towns and garrisons under the jurisdiction of the Zongwang include the Beiping King and Jin King on the Mobei Front; the Wujing King in the Tubo area; the Yunnan King in the Yunnan area; and the Zhennan King in the Yangzhou area.
However, the sect kings did not only originate in the Kublai Khan era. When Genghis Khan's successor Ogedei decided to conquer the Qincha, who was surrendered to the last country, Oros and other countries, he ordered all the royal families to go to war with their eldest sons, and the kings were headed by Shuchi's sons. After Mongge Khan ascended the throne, he also appointed his fellow mother brothers Kublai Khan, Hulagu's governor of Monan, Persia and other provinces.
However, Zhao Bing thought that the system implemented by Kublai Khan had certain advantages. As far as the army was concerned, he believed that the system of kings leaving the town was very different from the system of Genghis Khan's feudal Ulus: the army of kings who were divided into vas was formed by the people of Benwulus and was completely the personal private subordinates of the kings; while the army under the jurisdiction of the kings were mostly drawn from each other and was not all the private subordinates of the kings, and it was somewhat of a modern federal army.
King Zhizong serves as the head of military and political affairs as a member of the royal family, and performs military and political tasks on behalf of the court. King Zhizong often has the power of King Zhizong to surpass the kings. In this way, he can intimidate the kings. If you rebel, I can immediately mobilize the army to suppress you. The king's army is limited to his own tribal army. Even if there is an alliance, he cannot cope with the suppression of the entire region's army.
However, Zhao Bing thought that there was a risk in this system, that is, the kings of the Zhenzong fought for independence. This was the case. Due to civil strife, some sect kings took the opportunity to have a practical independent position in the town garrison. When Kublai Khan and Alibuge competed for the position of the Mongolian Khan and the Haidu Rebellion, the Chagatai Khanate began to do whatever he wanted; while the Khanate Khanate was completely blocked from the Mongolian land and gained actual independence; in order to win the support of the sect king Xulagu in Persia and Arabia, Kublai Khan granted the area west of the Amu River to Hulagu, and thus the Ili Khanate was born.
Kublai Khan also realized the hidden dangers. After the destruction of the Song Dynasty, he began to generally seize power from the kings of the monarch and the kings of the monarch and the monarch who were divided into the monarch and the monarch and the monarch and other aspects. This restricted the power of the kings of the monarch and made them subject to the court and province, and did not dare to make any independent efforts.
Now the troops directly under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian Yuan court and the provincial government have been severely damaged, especially the main force of the guards suffered heavy losses, so they could only centrally deploy the Jingji area centered on Dadu and the grassland area centered on Shangdu to ensure the security of the so-called conciliatory areas. The Central Army was weak and the provincial garrisons were unable to do so, which resulted in a decrease in deterrence against the kings, and had to rely on the Zongwang army to fight against the invasion of the Song Dynasty.
As one rises and another falls, the role of the sect kings and the grassland kings is prominent. They not only gain greater power, but also gain more autonomy such as taxation and conscription. In this way, the sect king's township system and provincial system founded by Kublai Khan tend to collapse and lose the function of mutual restraint. No one will think that the territory is too small and will only feel that they have gained too little.
Zhao Bing knew that historical experience proved that when the central government's control declined, these grassland kings who maintained the nomadic tradition would immediately restore their nature, conquered and plundered each other to obtain greater benefits, and became emerging military leaders or even warlords. This would inevitably infringe on the interests of the traditional Han marquis of the Central Plains. They would not sit and wait for death, but would try to protect themselves, which would further transform into ethnic conflicts, and the Mongols would enter the new "Warring States Period".
After the Northern Expedition ended, Zhao Bing was actually reflecting that he knew that it would take decades or even hundreds of years to establish and improve a national system, but it might take several years to destroy it. Therefore, he thought that the biggest gain of the Northern Expedition was not to regain a lot of land and increase a lot of population, but to destroy the existing system of the Mongolian Yuan, weaken the rule of the Mongolian Yuan court, and throw him into civil strife.
Of course, Zhao Bing knew that letting it evolve naturally may survive for many years. What he had to do was not only add a fire, but also sprinkle some catalyst to speed up the process. In addition to the traditional methods of sowing discord, watching fire from the other side of the river, and cutting fire from the bottom of the pot, he also discovered a very interesting thing, which came from an accidental conversation.
Zhao Bing has always been very concerned about the situation within the Mongol Yuan, and is also very concerned about the Hai who has been indomitable against Kublai Khan. This kid is simply a professional troublemaker in the Mongol Yuan. He has been struggling for more than 30 years and is simply an indestructible Xiaoqiang. So he has never understood the reason why he has been defeated repeatedly, but he has been able to make a comeback every time and gained the support of many allies.
Until the Northern Expedition, the Song army captured many senior Mongolian Yuan generals in the battle, and Zhao Bing would talk to them when he had the opportunity. In addition to seeking for his own use, he also had the purpose of understanding the internal situation of the Mongolian Yuan. In the battle of Jiagouji in Xuzhou, the Song army annihilated the Qinzhan Guards and captured one of the Thousand House Chiefs. He participated in several wars to conquer Haidu and accidentally told a ridiculous reason-
The sea can play with the various princes of the Chaga Taiwan Sect. In addition to the civil strife of the Chaga Taiwan Sect, he has a very powerful means, and there is another crucial factor, that is, the astrological signs support him very much.
Zhao Bing knew that ancient people were superstitious, and the same was true for the Mongols, but he knew that the original belief of the Mongol Yuan was shamanism, and later believed in Tibetan Buddhism. During their conquest of West Asia and Central Asia, they also believed in *** and Christ. In short, it was very complicated, but he was still surprised to believe in "astrology". After asking more details, he felt relieved.
It turned out to be from the era of Genghis Khan. He believed in astrology, and he used Yelu Chucai because this bearded man was good at astrology. He also selected the best time for the ceremony of Ogedei's succession. This is also funny enough. Who would have thought that Yelu Chucai, a genius of world governance, could gain trust because he was promoted by his side skills.
In addition, Genghis Khan also took a fancy to the Uyghur culture and asked the princes and grandchildren to learn from the Uyghur scholars. The astrology learned by the Uyghur people from Central Asia and the Middle East was also accepted by the Mongolian nobles. Even Yelu Chucai and Liu Bingzhong had to change the astrology of the Han area to the astrology practiced by the Mongolian powerful people in order to make them believe and implement the Han law. Think about it, these two brothers were working hard enough for the great cause of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
When Mengge succeeded to the throne, astrologists from Central Asia selected "auspicious stars" for him and then chose the most appropriate astrological time. The Mongolian royal family generally represented their "auspicious stars". Their auspicious stars had different statements when they moved to each constellation, which would affect their fortunes at different times. Believe it or not, the Mongolian princes at that time believed it very much, and affected the political and military situation at that time.
Haidu is the beneficiary of this superstition. When he first started his business, he fought with Aluhu of the Chagatai Khanate. With the acquiesce of Kublai Khan, Aluhu annexed the Mongolian Khan's industry and part of the army in Central Asia, and was rich and powerful. The initial number of Haidu was only 3,000 people, and Aluhu swallowed more than 20,000 people of Alibuge. The entire Chagatai Khanate could mobilize an army of 100,000. Whether it was to compete for financial resources or military strength, anyone would believe that Aluhu could kill Haidu.
The battle between these two also attracted Beergo from the Chincha Khanate. Beergo specifically asked the astrologer and got the star of Haidu that was powerful and arrogant, and could defeat all enemies that blocked him. This reason was very good and powerful. Beergo began to support Haidu at all costs, allowing Haidu to recruit soldiers and continue to expand its power.
Bergo supported Haidu in fact for the territory of Central Asia, but Aluhu suddenly died, which really shocked the Mongolian princes and princes in Central Asia and other places, especially the sects of Chagatai. They all believed that Haidu had indeed won the favor of Changshengtian. More than forty Mongolian princes asked to join the group and handed over the wealthy cities of Central Asia to Haidu. Therefore, it became the most terrifying enemy of the Kublai Khan family, and they kept tossing and never died...
Is this reason strong? Is it shocking? It's shocking? Anyway, Zhao Bing thinks it's very unreasonable. As a person who used a fake night pearl to kill Kublai Khan, how could he not have bad thoughts after hearing this? This idea was unstoppable. For this reason, he thought about it for a long time, and a plan gradually took shape. But what he lacked was an astrologer who knew about it for a thousand years and then five hundred years later.
Zhao Bing cannot say that he doesn't know about astrology, but he was just for entertainment in his previous life and didn't know the "mysteries" of it at all, otherwise he would have wanted to "train" one by himself. But he didn't understand this, and no one in the Song Dynasty today understood it. He had just killed a group of "monsters and demons". I'm afraid that no one would be fooled if he posted the list and recruited wise men.
Another thing is that in Zhao Bing's impression, astrologers should be like gypsies, or Western wizards in film and television dramas, or at least they should be like the principal in Harry Potter, and they look like masters and have a good appearance. However, the appearance of Chinese people is difficult to have that effect no matter how they dress up, and there are problems with language and life details. Therefore, it is best to find an original foreign astrologer and then package it.
But this creates another problem, which is how to ensure that it will not disclose secrets and be able to act according to orders. You should know that astrologers are very popular in the Mongolian Yuan, and they must package them as masters. Once they become famous, they may sell themselves. At that time, they can't find the door to cry, and they may even fall into the counter-espionage plan.
