Chapter 282: Kublai Khan, the anti-Mongolian hero, Ying Zheng couldn’t hold it anymore.
【Based on modern territories, he was the first emperor to travel abroad. 】
【It was Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Southern Chen Dynasty. 】
【The place where Chen Baxian went abroad was Vietnam. 】
[At that time, Chen Baxian was still a general in Southern Liang, and a rebellion broke out in Jiaozhou of Southern Liang.]
[The rebels once occupied most of Jiaozhou, including the northern part of Vietnam.]
[He also arrogantly called himself the Emperor of Dai Viet.]
[The troops sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion also suffered a disastrous defeat.]
【Then the court sent Chen Baxian to Jiaozhou to quell the rebellion.】
[As soon as Chen Baxian arrived in Jiaozhou, he won battle after battle and successfully put down the rebels.]
【And the leader of the rebels, the so-called Emperor Yue, was beheaded in Jiankang.】
[Later, the remnants of this Yue emperor rebelled again.]
【Killed the governor of Dezhou of Southern Liang and besieged Aizhou. 】
【And Aizhou is now the city of Qinghua in Vietnam. 】
[It was also Chen Baxian who came to suppress the rebellion. ]
【Chen Baxian also quelled this wave of rebellion again. 】
【He made great contributions to the imperial court.】
[Because of his contribution in suppressing the rebellion, he was given the titles of General Zhenyuan, Protector of Xijiang, Governor of Gaoyao, and Commander-in-Chief of the Military Affairs of Seven Counties.]
[As you can see, the main battlefields of Chen Baxian's two rebellions were in present-day northern Vietnam.]
【According to the current territory, Chen Baxian left the country. 】
[However, at that time, both Jiaozhou and Aizhou belonged to the territory of Southern Liang. ]
【So from that point of view, Chen Baxian did not go abroad. 】
[I guess Chen Baxian himself didn't expect that he would become the first emperor to go abroad? ]
……
[Another emperor who traveled abroad was Yelu Dashi. ]
[Yelü Dashi was the eighth-generation grandson of Liao Taizu. He was born into a scholar family, but was good at riding and shooting, and even passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.]
[At first, he was a minister of the Liao Kingdom and served as a civil servant. ]
[During the process of Jin's conquest of Liao, Yelu Dashi fought actively and tried to turn the tide. ]
[However, the Jin army was too strong at that time, and Emperor Tianzuo was too incompetent. ]
[Even if Yelu Dashi tried his best, he was still powerless. ]
[Later, Yelu Dashi fled with two hundred cavalrymen and proclaimed himself king.]
[The base camp is located in Khatun City, a grassland stronghold of the Liao Kingdom. ]
[But arriving at Khatun City does not count as leaving the country. ]
[After all, Khatun City is located in Wutla Banner, Inner Mongolia. ]
[In military strongholds like Khatun City, the Liao Kingdom has always been a ruling power. ]
[Yelü Dashi, who raised the Liao flag here, gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ]
[However, Khatun City was not far enough from the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom attempted to attack several times. ]
【Yelu Dashi knew he could not defeat the enemy, so he decided to continue to move westward.】
[We passed through Inner Mongolia and Mongolia and finally arrived at Yemili City in present-day Xinjiang. ]
[Here, Yelu Dashi's power is further enhanced. ]
【He ascended the throne and was called Emperor Tianyou of the Liao Dynasty, also known as Juer Khan.】
[Yelü Dashi's regime still had the name Liao.]
[It is called Western Liao in the national history books. ]
[Finally, they entered what is now Kyrgyzstan and established the new capital of Liao.]
[Afterwards, the Liao Dynasty, which failed in the competition in East Asia, developed smoothly in Central Asia.]
【Established a vast Western Liao Kingdom.】
[And defeated the Seljuk Empire in one fell swoop and dominated Central Asia. ]
[And Yelu Dashi was, of course, also an emperor who had traveled abroad.]
【He even visited many countries. 】
[He was one of the emperors who traveled abroad more often.]
Yelu Dashi is on the list.
It did cause some controversy in the comments.
"The orthodox Central Plains is in Western Liao!"
"No, does Yelu Dashi also count?"
"Isn't Western Liao considered part of the country?"
"It can be said that the Western Liao Dynasty does not belong to the history of our country. Western historians call it the "Kara-Khitan Empire.""
"Yelü Dashi: If you say I am not the Chinese Dynasty, I will chop you to death!"
"Although the main territory of Western Liao was in Central Asia, they considered themselves to be part of the Chinese nation."
"Yes, and the territory of Western Liao also includes part of our country's current territory."
……
The curtain continues. [Which dynasty had the most emperors who ruled the country? ]
[Of course it must be the Yuan Dynasty. ]
[Genghis Khan established the Mongol Empire at the source of the Onon River in present-day Mongolia.]
[Genghis Khan was naturally an emperor who had traveled abroad. ]
[And the capital of the Mongol Empire was in Karakorum. ]
[As the emperor of the Mongol Empire, he naturally had to stay in the capital frequently. ]
[Starting from Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, to Ogedei, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, Guiyou, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, Mengge, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, and Kublai Khan. ]
[They have all been to Mongolia, which can be considered as having been abroad.]
【Especially Guyuk and Mongke. 】
[They participated in the eldest son's expedition to the west, so it was more than just going abroad.]
【I just traveled across states. 】
[That is to say, the Mongolian or Yuan Dynasty produced five emperors who traveled abroad in a row! ]
【But among them, Kublai Khan must be mentioned in particular. 】
[Other Mongolian emperors went to Karakorum to attend the All-Mongolian Congress.]
[He went to announce his accession to the throne.]
【But Kublai Khan was different. 】
[He led the Han army and the Han generals to the north and fought all the way to Karakorum and Fenglangjuxu.]
[Yes, Kublai Khan was the Mongol emperor. ]
[But his greatest military achievement in his life was leading the Han people to defeat the Mongols. ]
【Bringing Han soldiers, they burned, killed and looted in the homeland of the Mongol Empire. 】
【It is said that he is capable of all kinds of evil. 】
Outside the sky.
The ancient people could no longer hold back when they saw this.
Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng first looked at the sky curtain and talked about the later emperors of the Mongol Empire.
Although I look down on these barbarians in my heart.
But after all, Tianmu has told the story so many times.
There are barbarians invading China.
Proclaimed emperor.
Ying Zheng has also gotten used to it and accepted it.
Look at those emperors who ascended the throne in Mongolia, they were emperors who had been abroad.
Ying Zheng just felt unhappy and a little uncomfortable with it.
But Ying Zheng also believed that this was a very normal phenomenon in the long history of China.
And then I saw the last one.
During the time of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, even Ying Zheng had already accepted the situation.
I couldn't hold it in.
"Li Si, please help me smooth it out."
"What does it mean that Kublai Khan is going abroad?"
To be honest, Li Si was also confused after seeing it.
But in fact, Tianmu explained the reason quite clearly.
Just any other normal Mongolian emperor.
I was going to Kharakorum to attend a conference.
Kublai Khan led his troops to attack.
But just lead the troops and kill them.
Even if we successfully capture Karakorum, we can still hold the conference.
So Li Si replied:
"It should be the later Mongol Empire that had internal divisions when Kublai Khan came to power."
"Kublai Khan's rule was not recognized by all the nobles of the Mongol Empire."
"And Kublai Khan, his own territory should be within the territory of China at that time."
"So Kublai Khan led the Chinese army to the north to the Mongolian grasslands and defeated the armies of other forces on the Mongolian grasslands."
"Captured the Mongolian capital of Karakorum."
"Kublai Khan, now you have firmly established yourself as the emperor of the Mongol Empire."
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Well, it seems to be a simple and pure civil war to seize power."
"That makes sense."
"After all, internal strife is part of human nature."
"The Mongol Empire may seem powerful, but no matter how powerful an empire is, there will always be internal strife."
"Kublai Khan, I wonder how many Mongols he killed?"
