Chapter 1549: Khan's inheritance

It was a clear, blue sky. Dozens of Mongolian troops lined up on the prairie. Genghis Khan offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and swore to go to war.

Before going to war, he mentioned the issue of the successor to the Khan's throne to the kings and generals. After careful consideration, Temujin finally made his third son Ogedei the crown prince.

Genghis Khan made this decision after careful consideration. The eldest son Jochi and the second son Chagatai were incompatible, as if they were mortal enemies. There were probably many reasons.

Jochi was not actually Genghis Khan's own flesh and blood. At the beginning, Temujin's army was weak, and his wife was abducted by the enemy Merkit people. After several years, she was recaptured and had already given birth to Jochi.

But Genghis Khan did not dislike this. He regarded Jochi as his own son, and Jochi would not feel inferior to others.

This kind of thing is actually a convention on the grassland. Most nomadic peoples abide by this rule.

Only when Chagatai was upset about this, coupled with the struggle for the succession of the Khan, would he target Jochi everywhere.

This is also related to the inheritance system of nomadic peoples. The Han dynasty is the eldest son inheritance system, and most of the time there is no dispute.

The nomadic people are just the opposite, the youngest son inheritance system, also known as "the youngest son guards the stove". The reason is that after the sons of nomadic peoples grow up and get married, they often separate from the family and live alone.

When the father dies, the property is generally left to the youngest son. After Genghis Khan's death, the Khanship was indeed passed to Ogedei, but most of his elite soldiers and generals were given to his youngest son Tolui. In fact, the Qing Dynasty also had this custom before entering the Central Plains.

But the Khanship of the Mongolian Empire is different from the inheritance of small families after all. Therefore, Genghis Khan stipulated that the successor to the Mongolian Khan must be recommended and decided by the Khuriltai (that is, the meeting attended by the kings and nobles).

Of course, his successor can be decided by him. Both Jochi and Chagatai were brave generals with outstanding achievements, which meant that they both had opportunities, so they were incompatible.

If either of them became the Khan, he would immediately purge the other, which would inevitably cause the division of Mongolia. The empire might even perish in the second generation.

The youngest son, Tolui, was quite capable, but unfortunately he was too young and had no achievements, so it was impossible for him to become the Khan. In desperation, he could only choose his third son, Ogedei.

He might not be good at fighting, but he had a good personality, was friendly, and had a good relationship with his brothers, so he would definitely be able to maintain the inheritance of the Mongolian Empire.

Since the position of the crown prince was decided, it was a great event. Genghis Khan held a banquet for all the generals and drank until late at night.

When he returned to his tent, Guo Jing was a little drunk. He was about to go to bed, but was stopped by his fourth master, Nan Xiren.

Guo Jing showed doubts in his eyes, and Xiao Ming did not explain, but only signaled him to use his internal energy to dispel the drunkenness.

Jing'er always listened to Nan Xiren's words, and immediately followed his instructions. He saw from the corner of his eyes that Yinggu beside him also had a face full of question marks, just as suspicious as him.

At this moment, a personal soldier hurried into the tent and reported: "Prince consort, it's not good. The eldest prince and the second prince are drunk and each led their soldiers to fight."

(*Φ PanΦ*) Guo Jing was shocked and subconsciously said: "Go and report to the Khan!"

The personal soldier replied with a bitter face: "I went, but the Khan was drunk and couldn't wake him up."

Guo Jing was not in a hurry, as he had a backbone, so he looked at his master. Nan Xiren said to the personal soldier: "Pass the order, the Golden Sword Prince Consort will recruit soldiers!"

The personal soldier also knew Nan Xiren's position in the army, and immediately agreed and went out of the tent to pass the order. Xiao Ming quietly gave Guo Jing instructions in person...

After a while, Guo Jing's 10,000-man team had been integrated and set off to gallop towards the northeast where the shouting and killing sounded.

In the original novel, when Guo Jing's army arrived, Jochi and Chagatai had not yet fought. He quickly captured the two princes with the formation in Wu Mu's posthumous book, leaving the Mongolian army with almost no losses, and also showed his face in front of Genghis Khan. He was appointed as the commander of three 10,000-man teams of the right army.

Xiao Ming actually wanted to let Jochi and Chagatai fight each other. They each had more than 20,000 men, all of whom were elite soldiers and generals. If more died, it would weaken Mongolia.

But he couldn't do that, because if these more than 40,000 people suffered heavy losses, Genghis Khan might cancel this Western Expedition, and then how could Mongolia and Khwarezm fight against each other!

So this matter still needs to be taken care of, but it can be a little later, and more casualties will not affect the overall situation.

Sure enough, when Guo Jing's army arrived, Jochi and Chagatai's personal soldiers were already fighting in one place.

The Mongols were quite fierce, and they drank wine today. At the beginning, they could kill their compatriots without mercy.

Xiao Ming took a quick look and found that at least hundreds of people had been killed and thousands of people were injured.

Guo Jing waved his spear and shouted, "Follow me! Separate the armies of the eldest prince and the second prince." Then he rode his horse and charged. Nan Xiren and Yinggu followed closely on their horses.

The army responded in unison and followed the golden sword prince consort to the battlefield.

At this time, Subuchi and Chagatai had met, each leading hundreds of elite soldiers and fighting. Even if they found another army coming, they would not be distracted.

In fact, as the main general in the army, he needs to observe the battlefield situation at any time and make adjustments. In the early stages of the battle, he generally does not personally fight. And he will not ignore the appearance of a 10,000-man army.

However, this time it was not a normal battle, but a fight between two princes. The common sense in the army did not matter. The two of them just wanted to kill each other, so there was no command, just a rush. This also facilitated the intervention of Guo Jing's army.

As a vanguard, Guo Jing did not need to stab anyone with a big gun. He whipped the Mongolian soldiers when he saw them, knocking them off their horses. Everyone was in unbearable pain and lost their fighting ability for a while.

Then, Nan Xiren followed closely behind, throwing handfuls of stones in his hand. Although the power was deliberately weakened, a large number of Mongolian soldiers were knocked to the ground, which was more efficient than Guo Jing.

Yinggu and the people who followed later took advantage of the gaps and were responsible for picking up leaks and dealing with the guys who were not knocked down by the two masters. Try not to hurt anyone's life.

Wherever the army went, no one could stop it, and the Mongolian soldiers retreated involuntarily. Some warriors also raised their guns and jumped on their horses to stop Guo Jing, but they were no match and were still whipped away.

Led by the Golden Sword Prince Consort, this group of people was unstoppable and separated the armies of Jochi and Chagatai.

Of course, it was impossible to separate them so clearly, and there were always some soldiers who were separated into the enemy's group.

But everyone was a little confused when they suddenly encountered such a strong enemy, and the drunkenness was mostly gone. They would not take advantage of their own number of people to attack the people of the other side. Peace began to quietly come.
