Before Ye Suo should become the leader of the Beggars, the last leader of the Beggars was Kutu La, who was the fourth uncle of Ye Suo. After the death of Kutula, he also quickly inherited some of the power of Kutula and became the new leader of the Qiyan Tribe.
Realistically speaking, it is not easy to quickly compete for the position of this leader, because Kutula has sons, and the strength of these sons is not small. But it was also quick to take the chestnut in the fire, and finally succeeded, and the sons of Kutula all stood on the side.
For the sake of the minister of Nierlun, the second son of Hebu Lehan put the son tanzhiye for emperor Taizu and posthumously honored Emperor Liezu Shenyuan. --The New YuanShi, Vol. 1, Honki No. 1
The success of the speed should be inseparable from his own excellent personal qualities, but more importantly: it must also have a large number of cronies and supporters, otherwise he would not be able to laugh to the end in the competition.
Many people who are obsessed with the heroic view of history do not recognize this, insisting that it is precisely because of the wisdom and wit of the speed that they have been able to stand out from the competition, not some kind of vain cronies and supporters.
In response to this view, I just want to ask a rhetorical question: If Yasuo should really be a wise and resourceful person, then how can he not even have cronies and supporters? This wise and witty man is probably fake, right?
Although he also received a lot of support and succeeded in taking over the position of Kutula, the sons of Kutula were not completely cleared out. During The reign of Yasuki, Kutura's eldest son, Shu Chitai, still held a pivotal position, and during Temujin's reign, Kutula's second son, Altan, also held a pivotal position.
Before Temujin unified the Mongol tribes and called himself the Great Khan of the Mongols (not Genghis Khan), he first advised Altan to become the Great Khan of the Mongols, for the simple reason that Altan was the son of Kutula and was more qualified than himself to be the Great Khan of the Mongols.
I will not express my opinion for the time being about the sons of Kutula, but I will just casually mention their power and status, in order to show that they must also have extremely strong power, otherwise they will certainly not be able to suppress these people.
After he should soon become the leader of the Beggars, not to mention how to respect his status, let's say how much of his private property, how much do you think there will be?
More specifically, how many slaves, livestock, pastures, and gold and silver should be legally owned? This should be an astronomical number. The Mongol steppes of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were chaotic, but not poor, otherwise they would not have been able to produce a vast empire large enough to threaten the whole world.
The crux of the matter lies in this: since he should also have astronomical private property, why did his subordinates immediately disperse after he died?
How can I have the strongest strength? Nothing more than the army, grain and grass, territory and population, this series of elements boils down to one word: money. In other words, as long as there is money, there is a chance to build a strong army, and it is qualified to become the hegemon of one side. If there is no money, it is called "it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice", and there is no chance to be a hegemon.
Although Yasuko died, the money must have been inherited by his orphaned and widowed mother, because there is no evidence that anyone robbed Yasugo's family property.
Some people may think that after the death of Yasuji, the reason why his cronies will scatter is that there must be a person who can convince the public to lead and take them to disintegrate the clique of Yasuoji. But I went through the history books and found no one with this ability.
At the time of his lifetime, the Mongol tribes were largely united, although there was a small range of frictions; after the death of The Mongol tribes, the Mongol tribes were torn apart in an instant. In the face of such historical facts, it is unbelievable to say that someone can convince the public and accept all the legacies that should be quickly received.
Pushing ourselves and others, if our old boss dies of an unexpected illness, those of us who were once subordinates see that the old boss's orphans and widows have a difficult life, and we have to pay for everything, because this is the common sentiment of people.
Before his death, there was no obvious bad comment, and I don't believe that He should be so bad, once he died, no one would care about his orphans and widows.
As I analyzed at the beginning of Mongolia, the life of the Temujin family will never be as embarrassing as the bottom of society. But after I have looked through many versions of the history of the founding of Mongolia, I have no idea who, with the exception of one Munch, is a close associate of Yesaku.
Where did the cronies who had helped to seize the position of the leader of the Beggars go?
Regarding Monlik, I analyzed it in the second article in Mongolia, and he can become the first hero of the founding of the country. However, if you look at it according to the actual power game, Monlik is qualified to become the first hero of the founding of the country, which does not mean that he has the greatest power.
When Liu Bang talked about the reward of merit, Xiao He was the first meritorious man, but what could he do? Compared with those princes of the opposite sex who had sealed the territory and split the land, what did Xiao He get for this credit? Compared with them, what power does Xiao He have to speak of?
It is always the pawns who flaunt their might on the chessboard, and it is the players who can really decide the outcome of the chess pieces.
When Temujin unified the Mongol tribes, the real power faction was not a hero, but someone who was enough to compete with Temujin, such as his mother Empress Yuelun, such as his own uncle Talitai, such as Kutula's son Altan, such as his second uncle's son Kucha'er.
If we don't look at history carefully, then these people must have no sense of existence in the history of the founding of mongolia, because they were all chess players, and they were eventually cleaned out by Temujin one by one, just like Liu Bang cleaned up the princes of the opposite sex who had sealed the territory and split the land.
These human rights are monstrous, but are these people also fast followers? No.
These people have one thing in common compared to Yasogo: they are too young and underqualified. Empress Dowager Yuelun was also the woman of Ye Suo, and when she should have become the leader of the Beggars, she was not there; Da LiTai was Ye Suo's younger brother, much younger than Ye Suo; Al tan was the son of Ku Tu La, one of Ye Suo's competitors at that time; Ku Cha Er was the son of The second brother of Ye Suo, who was only a junior.

These people were eliminated by Temujin after Temujin was forty years old, and they hardly had the age and objective conditions to become a close associate of Yasu, so they could be excluded.
Since these people are not the original cronies, where did their power come from?
The biggest possibility is that although they are not the cronies who helped ye suze to succeed in seizing the throne, they have inherited some or all of the forces of the ye sushi cronies.
When I looked at the early history of Mongolia, I found a problem: apart from the mysterious Monlik, there seemed to be no figure similar to the elderly among the founding fathers of Mongolia.
But almost all the families that have successfully started their own businesses are all in a reasonable ratio of the three generations of the old, middle and young, and have both vitality and experience. Look at the well-known Mongolian founding heroes: Borshu, Muhuali, Chilaowen, Zhebei, Zhile contempt, Subutai and Kublai, all of whom are young and Mesozoic, and all seem to be younger than Temujin, which is extremely rare in the history of family entrepreneurship.
There are too few early written records of Mongolia, and the rivers and mountains laid down by Temujin's descendants are incomparably vast. In this context, the historical records we see are almost all recorded from the perspective of Temujin.
Again, in the case of Monlik, the first founding hero of Mongolia, was infinitely obscured and scandalized. If we learn the lessons of Monlik and concentrate on the characters who seem to be playing soy sauce, the clowns who seem to be temporary cameos, we will find a lot of problems.
Almost all of them are the ones who lost the game with Temujin and were eventually cleared out of the scene. Unlike the heroes, they are chess players.
When they helped each other and quickly seized the position of the leader of the Beggar Tribe, they gained a lot of political rewards and material assets because of their success from the dragon. After their death, they were weakened to a certain extent, but they did not hurt their vitality.
When Temujin became an adult, it was with their help that he regained the power of the chief of the Qiyan tribe and reunified the Mongol tribes. However, with the expansion of Temujin's power, he will inevitably become a being that surpasses his father's speed, and such a existence will never play any "aristocratic republican" game with the elders.
In other words, when Temujin's wings grow hard, he will definitely centralize power!
In the process of Temujin's centralization of power, these large and small powerful factions have been squeezed out of the game. Just as after the death of the old emperor, the young emperor took the throne in the early stages, and there was nothing he could do about the elders. However, after the little emperor had sharp teeth and claws, he would definitely squeeze out the elders and ministers one by one by cultivating his own cronies.
The power of this crony was quickly transferred to his own close relatives, who were taken out by Temujin, most of these powers were reclaimed by Temujin, and a small part was divided between the Mesozoic and young people, becoming the cornerstone of the arch mongol empire.
In fact, this is not an incomprehensible thing, there are too many similar operations in history.
It's not hard to understand, but it's extremely difficult to operate. Temujin was born deficient due to the loss of his father at an early age. Although Temujin's early demise did not deprive Temujin of much of its material superiority, its political superiority was bound to be a great loss.
Although Temujin possessed extremely good personal qualities, these close associates who were also fast-defying, as well as the sons of Kutula, were not good at stubble.
They were all members of the Beggar's clan, and Temujin had no advantage in status; although Kutula had died, after a period of cultivation, the strength of his clan had also gained some time to recover.
Temujin, on the other hand, was too young when he lost his father, only nine years old. If you want to use these chips in your hand to get over with a bunch of old people within the family, Temujin is really very difficult.
This is also the reason why Temujin basically unified the Mongol ministries as early as his twenties, but did not qualify as "Genghis Khan" until after the age of forty.
Many people believe that this is because external conditions do not allow it. But in fact, if the internal will is united, what is the big deal about the external conditions? Liu Bei only owned yizhou, and could not still be called emperor? Who's giving an opinion inside? Instead, Zhuge Liang and others jointly demanded that Liu Bei ascend to the throne.
It can be seen that internal instability is the problem of Temujin's confidant.
There are written records of the Central Plains Dynasty, and we can carefully analyze the connotations through the words. Mongolia suffered from too little early written information, so many people are surprised by all this.
In my opinion, Ironwood really has a high starting point and a high ending point, which is very remarkable. But to say how unprecedented Temujin really is, I don't feel that way. When it comes to playing conspiracy and politics, Temujin is really a master, but he is not a lonely figure.
I have always believed that Temujin is truly qualified to be compared with Qin Shi Huang, not that their exploits can be compared, but that their early experiences are too similar.
Isn't the government strong? Of course, he eventually became the Emperor of the Ages. But don't forget that the reason why Yingzheng can become the legendary Qin Shi Huang is inseparable from the "Sixth Yu Lie" of the Qin State. Without this background, why did Yin Zheng become the first emperor of Qin?
Is Ironwood really powerful? Of course, his descendants eventually built the most vast empire in human history. But don't forget, Temujin is not a self-made figure either.
Initially, Temujin used the political legacy left by his father to eventually regain the position of head of the Beggars and the Great Khan of the Mongols; subsequently, he settled his rivals internally and his strong enemies externally, and finally established the powerful Mongol Empire.
