Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 535: After Hai Mishi wanted to be the regent, who would be the Khan?
Upon receiving the news from his son, Zhang Yong immediately mobilized his troops. All the Mongolian troops under his command, as well as the cavalry troops, and a large part of the musket troops, were led by Zhang Yong from Daxing Prefecture to the grassland.

Half a year has passed since the capital was moved. During this period, Zhang Yong has been developing his new capital, Daxinfu, and has also been preparing to become emperor.

Zhang Yong had to use some means to show some strange phenomena and some anomalies that were destined by heaven among ordinary people.

In the past six months, the population of Daxing Prefecture has reached 1.5 million, and people from all over the world have settled in this city. Zhang Yong has relocated hundreds of thousands of people from Chang'an City.

Daxing Prefecture is very close to the grassland, so if you lead a cavalry unit, you don’t need to travel as far as Guanzhong.

Moreover, there are no mountainous areas, only a large area of ​​plain land, so Daxing Prefecture is indeed a suitable capital.

“Father! Uncle Guyuk summoned all the generals of the Ogedei family in advance before his death, and asked them to agree to make you the Great Khan of Mongolia. If I convene a kurultai meeting, they will support you. As for the Chagatai family.

Now they have surrendered to us, but nominally they are surrendering to Uncle Guyuk, the Great Khan of Mongolia. However, if the generals of my Kuotai family are willing to follow you, they should do the same. "Zhang Dingguan thought for a moment and looked at his father.

"I know what you want to say. These generals of the Ogedei family have openly promised to support me in becoming the Great Khan of Mongolia, but you underestimate them too much." Zhang Yong looked at his son, smiled and said.

This brat is still a little naive. Do you think those generals will support you if they promise you? You think too much. Some generals of the Ogedei family are not so easy to deal with.

I have a good relationship with Guyuk, but that doesn’t mean that other sons of Ogedei will like me.

After Zhang Yong led his troops to occupy Karakorum, in the past few days, many princes of the Ogedei family, and even some of Ogedei's grandchildren and teenagers, led by their mothers, came to Zhang Yong to ask some questions.

They all wanted to win his support, especially Guiyou's queen mother Haimisi, who brought Guiyou's two sons to Zhang Yong.

She said countless good things to Zhang Yong and talked about many things about Guyuk. The meaning was self-evident. She hoped that Zhang Yong would support her in temporarily ruling the country and acting as regent, and then become the new Great Khan of Mongolia after her son grew up.

This woman made all kinds of promises to Zhang Yong, and was even willing to hand over the entire territory of the Tuolei family to her for management, but do you think I can't manage it now? The two existing princes of the Tuolei family now have to rely on my face for their livelihood.

Zhang Yong did not explicitly agree to Haymitch's request, but sent the Queen of Guyuk away first.

After all, the news that Zhang Yong was going to become the Great Khan of Mongolia had not been made public, but now that the army that had gone on the Western Expedition had returned, this news would probably spread.

Now, these generals of the Ogedei family have returned, and they will also bring orders from Toguyuk.

"Father, what do you mean? These generals of the Ogedei family will not support you to become the Great Khan of Mongolia, but how is that possible? They promised me when they returned from the Western Expedition." Zhang Dingguan said.

They agreed to this matter at the bedside of the Mongol Khan Guyuk, so how could they go back on their word?

"You don't understand this. Sometimes things like interests can make people go to their heads. If you don't believe me, just wait and see! All the princes of the Ogedei family will become our main opponents this time." Zhang Yong said.

"Father, how is this possible? Our main opponent shouldn't be Tolui." Speaking of Tolui's family, Zhang Dingguan suddenly fell silent. It seemed that Tolui's family did not pose a threat!

Now all the troops of Tolui's family seemed to be under his control. As for the other two princes of Tolui's family, they did not have many troops under their command.

"Those Tuolei family generals under your command support you unconditionally, because they have completely become members of our Zhang family.

As for the other two princes of the Tolui family, don't worry, I have the leverage over them. When the kurultai is convened, they must obey my will. " Zhang Yong smiled at his son with a mysterious smile.

You two idiots, what do you think? I didn't know anything about someone secretly sending a letter to Batu? Was the assassin I arranged in your house for nothing?
As soon as Alibuga sent the letter, Zhang Yong's assassin learned the news, but the messenger did not carry any letters or anything like that.

But Zhang Yong knew without even thinking about it what the envoy was going to do. He must be going to inform Batu so that he could be prepared to defend against Guyuk's sudden attack.

Although Zhang Yongren was not in the grassland, he knew everything about the grassland and some markets in the west.

Zhang Yong even knew about Batu killing his adopted son at the first opportunity.

Zhang Yong knew that his son was on the grassland and was struggling to lead the army back due to lack of rations. If Zhang Yong wanted to, he could even send an army to deliver food to them. After all, he had arrived in Karakorum for a long time.

The reason why he did not take any action was that he wanted to test his son's ability to see if he could bring these troops back.

This guy handled the issue of Tolui's family army inappropriately. In fact, if he had handled it better, these 30,000 people would not have been taken away by Kublai Khan.

If he were to lead this army, Zhang Yong would not give Kublai Khan any chance to turn the tables and would directly annihilate him on the grassland.

If you don't have food, you can go and rob! The other side has already destroyed the Chagatai Khanate, just lead your troops and attack them. As for the death of the Mongolian Khan.

You just need to let the people from Ogedei's family take them away. Although your own army has only 20,000 people, can you really not defeat Kublai Khan?

When I trained these Mongolian troops, I had the most stringent requirements and provided them with the best weapons and equipment. They completely crushed the other several groups. Although they did not have an advantage in numbers, 20,000 people could definitely face cavalry that was several times their own number.

This kid is still a coward! Back in the Delhi Sultanate, Ogedei and I dared to take a big gamble and directly attacked the main force of the Delhi Sultanate and annihilated their elephant troops.

The best way to deal with the situation at that time was to let the armies of Tolui's family, Ogedei's family, and other kings' armies return eastward.

If you take your troops and recapture the army of the Chagatai Khanate, you can annihilate Khubilai.

The royal court of the Chagatai Khanate was destroyed, and they must have hated Kublai Khan to the core. If you launch an attack at this time, they will definitely respond to you.

For this western expedition on the grassland, Zhang Yong gave his son a score of 80, which was barely a passing level.

My son still lacks consideration when dealing with emergencies and emergencies, but the boy is still young and has opportunities to grow.

My son did a good job this time. Although this may not achieve the greatest results, it can avoid some problems and at least allow him to get out of this situation safely.

Bring back all the troops that went west.

If I send troops to support, they probably won't arrive at the battlefield on time. If we really fight with Kublai Khan, there will be many unknowns.

And if his son really did this, then Zhang Yong would probably stay on the grassland for at least one or two years, after all, many issues needed to be dealt with.

How to deal with the land of the Chagatai Khanate, how to repel Batu, and how to elect the Mongolian Khan are all issues.
The most important thing now is to hurry up and become emperor. Only after he is officially crowned emperor, will the people in the Central Plains completely submit to him. A prince alone cannot command the whole world.

"Father! What do you mean? Please tell me."

"What do you mean? Now all the troops loyal to me add up to 150,000 people. Remember, if you have military power, you have the right to speak.

If you have an army, you have absolute power, and everything else is empty.

This time you just need to follow me and watch and learn well, you don't need to worry about anything else." Zhang Yong patted his son's shoulder and said.

I have brought a large army here, who else can cause trouble? I have already dealt with the Tolui family, and now the only ones left are some people from the Ogedei family with ulterior motives.

As for those things, as long as you give them benefits, they will stand on your side. In just a few days, with the return of the Western Expedition Army, the whole of Mongolia knew the news that Great Khan Guyuk had passed away. At the same time, under Zhang Yong's deliberate arrangement, the edict of Great Khan Guyuk began to spread throughout Mongolia.

"What? The Imperial Master is going to become the new Mongolian Khan."

"The Imperial Master is also a member of the Golden Family, and he is the most powerful. It seems that there is nothing wrong with him becoming the Great Khan of Mongolia."

"But the Imperial Master is not a descendant of Genghis Khan! He is just a foreigner."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The State Master is also a divine messenger, and he is the direct descendant of the Golden God General. He can be said to be the person with the purest bloodline in the Golden Family."

"But Guiyou shouted that he was dead. Shouldn't his son succeed him? Or? The princes of other clans come to make the selection."

"Do the princes of other clans, such as the two princes of the Tolui family, have the qualifications? The Chagatai Khanate has been destroyed, Kublai Khan is now a rebel king, and Batu also rebelled against Mongolia."

During this period, the news of the genocide of the Chagatai clan spread throughout the grassland. A group of the Golden Family was slaughtered, and it was another group of the Golden Family. This incident caused an uproar on the grassland.

People on the grassland were very supportive of the Golden Family, especially after the rise of Genghis Khan.

Members of the Golden Family can fight each other, but bloody massacres are not allowed.

What's more, the Chagatai family did not do anything wrong, and the two sides were not enemies. Kublai Khan's attack was purely a sneak attack.

Even though Batu immediately issued a statement saying that he was not aware of the incident and that it had nothing to do with him, no one believed him.

After all, who gave Kublai the army? But you, Batu, gave the army of the Golden Horde, and the relationship between the Golden Horde and the Chagatai Khanate was known to the whole of Mongolia.

Chagatai and Jochi were fighting for the position of eldest son, and that was a hatred that had lasted for decades, so the reason of revenge for his father seemed reasonable.

Therefore, the Golden Horde in the west, as well as Kublai Khan, automatically lost the qualifications to run for the Great Khan of Mongolia.

The only people left were Zhang Yong and some people from the family of Ogedei, but none of the second-generation members of the family of Ogedei was as prestigious as Guyuk.

Most of them had even died of illness. Some of Ogedei's other sons were born to concubines from other branches and did not have much power in Mongolia.

He doesn't have much military power.

In the camp of the Ogedei family, Guyuk's Queen Haimish summoned all the princes and generals of the Ogedei family.

"Generals, are you loyal to the Mongolian Khan Guyuk, Genghis Khan, or Zhang Yong, the King of Guanzhong?"

"But Queen, this matter! This matter was appointed by the Khan himself, and in the future, the King of Guanzhong will pass the throne of the Khan to your son."

"Yes! Given the relationship between the King of Guanzhong and our family, he will definitely return the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia in the future." Another Wanhu said.

"Do you think it is possible to give all your cattle, sheep, horses, livestock and slaves to others and expect them to return them when your son comes of age? Moreover, when a man dies, his wife should inherit everything he has.

"Have you forgotten our Mongolian tradition? Even if we have to choose someone to be the regent, it should be me. When my son grows up, I will naturally pass the throne of the Mongolian Khan to him. Why do I need others to interfere?" Hai Mishi said angrily.

She had been married to Guiyou for more than ten years. Except for the passionate period in the beginning, after returning from the Western Expedition, Guiyou did not even step into his room.

Over the years, he had resented the King of Guanzhong. He even felt that it was because of the King of Guanzhong's tacit approval that he married that Western woman and fell in love with those Western dancers.

Originally, all this was nothing. Her man had become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and she was the most noble woman in the whole of Mongolia.

But who could have imagined that her husband would suddenly die during the Western Expedition, and his death was so sudden.

After the generals on the front line reported this news, he was very scared and nervous, so he immediately went to find Guanzhong King Zhang Yong, hoping that he would continue to support the Ogedei family as before.

Just like she supported her husband Guyuk to ascend to the throne, she supported her and her son to control the entire Mongolia.

However, the answer from the King of Guanzhong was ambiguous, and he did not directly agree to her request at all.

She hadn't thought much about it before, until the army returned from the Western Expedition.

She brought her a piece of news that made her extremely desperate and even angry. Her husband Guyuk, the Great Khan of Mongolia, actually passed the extremely honorable position of the Great Khan of Mongolia to someone else instead of passing it to his own son.

This made her unbearable, so she secretly summoned all the princes of the side branches of the Ogedei family and the family's generals to discuss with them the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia.

"Queen, do you mean that we do not obey the shouted edict?"

To be honest, the generals of the Ogedei family thought the same thing when they first learned of the Khan's death.

Let the queen temporarily serve as regent like the Khan's mother, and wait until the Khan's eldest son grows up and then inherits the throne.

However, on the night of his death, Guiyou gathered them all together and told them his last will.

"When did we Mongols speak in the form of imperial edicts? We always do things according to the rules. What is his identity as the King of Guanzhong? What qualifications does he have to inherit the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia? The person who will inherit this throne is my son. Even if he needs to act as regent, it should be me." said Queen Haimisi.

"The Queen is right. The throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia originally belonged to our Ogedei family. It was passed on from Genghis Khan to Ogedei, and Ogedei Khan passed it on to Guyuk Khan. Now Guyuk Khan should pass the throne to his eldest son, not an outsider." A prince from the collateral branch of the Ogedei family stood up and said.

The relationship between the two families was indeed very good, but that was when the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia was not involved. Once this supreme position was involved, no matter how good the relationship was, it would not work.

"Empress, our family's current strength is not enough to suppress the entire Mongolia." A Wanhu of the Ogedei family said.

Come on, don't you have any common sense? Can the army of the Ogedei family really crush the entire Mongolian grassland? The reason why Guyuk Khan was able to ascend to the throne was because of the help of the King of Guanzhong!

"Of course there is. The army of the Chagatai family did not surrender the eldest prince of the King of Guanzhong, but the Mongolian Khan Guyuk. The other members of Tolui's faction, Ariq Böke and Hulagu will definitely support me, and I, Queen Haimish, will be in power." Queen Haimish said.

"Empress, let's give it a try! Send envoys to the other two families and ask for their opinions."

Handing over the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia and expecting someone else to return it in the future is indeed not a very reliable thing to do.

Great Khan! Great Khan! You have a good relationship with Zhang Yong, but that doesn't mean we will trust him. You are betting too much!
On the other side, in the tent of the Tolui family.

The last two princes of the Torre family also received the news of Guyu's death and the succession of the throne to Zhang Yong.

"Brother Hulagu! Look, look, Zhang Yong is indeed ambitious! He actually set his sights on the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia." Alibugha's tone was a little excited.

I really didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect that Guyu would die like this?
