In 1225, Genghis Khan ordered 150,000 troops to prepare for the Western Expedition to Defend the Rules. At this time, the news came from Chincha that Shuchi had died of illness, and Genghis Khan was very sad, so he stopped the western expedition and his health deteriorated. In 1227, Genghis Khan died of illness at Helan Mountain and left with guilt, which was the pain of his life.
Among the sons of Genghis Khan, Shu chi is the strongest in combat and the bravest in battle. For Shu Chi, fighting a war is not a difficult thing, the "problem" of his life is to be unclear identity, and the pain that comes with it, and the relationship between him and his father and brother is very delicate, and he almost met each other several times.
In 1180, on the day of Genghis Khan's wedding, the tent was brightly lit, and everyone sang and danced around the campfire, a lively scene. At this time, the leader of the Qi'er Beggars led a surprise attack, Genghis Khan was defeated, hid in the mountains, and his wife Bo Erti became a prisoner. Later, Genghis Khan joined forces with Wang Khan and Zamuhe to defeat Dehe and save his wife.
Not long after boerti returned, he gave birth to Shuchi, which means "uninvited guest", and everyone questioned whether he was the son of Genghis Khan. Next, Bo Erti gave birth to three sons, Chagatai, Wokoutai, and Tuolei, making things more delicate. In addition to to the thunder, Chagatai and Wokoutai all looked at Shuchi coldly, and everyone got along very unpleasantly.
In 1211, the Battle of Wild Fox Ridge broke out, and Genghis Khan led 100,000 cavalry to engage 450,000 gold soldiers. Shu Chi led his troops to attack the right side, captured Yunzhou, Shuozhou and other places, pinned down the Reinforcements of the Jin Dynasty, and created conditions for Genghis Khan to completely annihilate the Jin troops. The following year, Shu Chi led his troops straight in, captured more than twenty prefectures and counties, and the soldiers approached Yanjing, and the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty promised to send princesses and relatives in exchange for the Mongol retreat.
Conquering the battlefield, the skill is brave and strategic, stronger than chagatai, wokoutai, tuolei and other brothers, and its combat style is very similar to Genghis Khan. However, the "difficulty" of Shuchi is that most people do not think that he is the son of Genghis Khan, but regard him as a "guest", a guest from the Beggars Department, which makes him very depressed.
So, was Shuchi the son of Genghis Khan? This is a question that is difficult to answer. There was no paternity testing technique in ancient times, and Genghis Khan didn't know it, not even BoErti. Even with this technology, Genghis Khan did not necessarily dare to use it. You know, Genghis Khan's mother, Ha Erlun, is the bride who should soon be snatched back from the hands of the beggars.
If the jurchens were of contemptuous blood, Genghis Khan might have been the same. For the brothers such as Chagatai and Wokoutai, the special status of Shuchi gave them a reason to exclude their brothers and obtain rights and interests. In the eyes of the brothers, Shuchi was a "guest" and should not inherit his father's position, which was the rule.
In 1219, when Khwarazm killed and humiliated the Mongol emissaries, Genghis Khan decided to march west. Considering his advanced age and the difficulty of avoiding accidents during the conquest, Genghis Khan decided to choose the crown prince in case of an accident. Chagatai made it clear that the position of Great Khan should be inherited by the descendants of the Great Khan and not allowed to be given to outsiders. By implication, Shuchi is not eligible to inherit, he is a guest.
When Chagatai said this, Shuchi became angry and reprimanded his brother on the spot, and the two wrestled. Genghis Khan shouted loudly, bluntly saying that Shuchi was his own son, and asked Chagatai to learn to respect his brother and not to make unreasonable trouble. The relationship between the sons was not good, and for the sake of the overall situation, Genghis Khan chose the third son, Kuotai, as the crown prince to maintain a balance between Shuchi and Chagatai.
After the Western Expedition against Hua Lazimo, Shuchi and Chagatai once again clashed, and both of them drew their sabers and prepared to duel. According to Genghis Khan's will, the areas of Huarazimo and Chincha were all territories of Shuchi, and the other brothers could not have ideas. Therefore, when the Mongol soldiers attacked the Jade Dragon Jiechi, Shuchi wanted to adopt the method of "appeasement" to save the city and use it for himself in the future.
Chagatai can not care, Hua Lazi mould is not his own, why not take the opportunity to make a profit? Ignoring Shuchi's feelings, Chagatai stormed jade dragon Jiechi and did not accept the surrender of the defenders in the city, and the contradiction between the two escalated again. There was a contradiction between Shuchi and Chagatai, and the Mongol soldiers attacked the city unfavorably, and the losses were very large. To this end, Genghis Khan sent Wokoutai to coordinate their relations.
After the Jade Dragon Jiechi was breached, the city was plundered and flooded, and the thousand-year-old city became a ruin, and Shu chi wanted to cry without tears. Next, Shuchi led his troops to attack the Chincha and Rus' regions, capturing dozens of cities. At the beginning of 1223, Shuchi led reinforcements to Zhebetsu and Subutai, and in the Battle of the Calgarga River, all 40,000 Rus' troops were annihilated, and Grand Duke Vladimir fled halfway.
After capturing Hua Lazimo, Shuchi no longer cooperated with his father in battle. First of all, Hua Lazimo is his own territory, and the result is a ruin, Andi is even more dissatisfied with his father, and the feelings between father and son are very weak. Moreover, since you have a territory, why do you still have to go to conquest and fight for your brothers who have a bad relationship with you. The relationship between the brothers was not harmonious, and shu chi suffered a lot, and his health deteriorated.
In 1225, Genghis Khan returned to Mongolia with an army ready to conquer the disobedient Western Xia. At this time, Genghis Khan repeatedly wrote to Shuchi asking him to bring troops to assist, but Shuchi refused for various reasons, always saying that he was not in good health and could not follow the actions of the Great Khan. Shuchi refused to send troops, and Genghis Khan thought that he was accumulating strength and was not good for himself, so he ordered 150,000 troops and prepared for the western expedition.
Shuchi was in Chincha, thousands of kilometers away from his father, and the information was not smooth, and Genghis Khan thought that Shuchi had two hearts, which was normal. Before Genghis Khan had even gone on the expedition, news came from chincha that he had died of depression and had passed away. Upon hearing this news, Genghis Khan was so grief-stricken that he blamed Shuchi, so he stopped the western expedition and then concentrated his forces to attack Western Xia.
