After Emperor Yuanxianzong declared himself emperor, he gave the rich Central Plains to his younger brother Kublai Khan to take charge. Kublai Khan was overjoyed, threw a feast, and raised a glass of celebration with his staff. Hanchen Yao Shu said, "This place is not good, and if you want it, there will be endless troubles!" ”

When Emperor Yuanxianzong ascended the throne, he was particularly fond of his younger brother Kublai Khan, so he rewarded Kublai Khan with the soldiers and civilians in the central plains he had conquered.

Kublai Khan thought that the reward was rich and was very happy, so he set up a feast to entertain his subordinates as a sign of celebration.

The subordinates all congratulated Kublai Khan one after another, only the Hanchen Yao Shu was silent, Kublai Khan had always respected Yao Shu, knew that there must be a reason, and after the crowd dispersed, he left Yao Shu alone and asked him why.

Yao Shu said: Nowadays, if we talk about the vastness of land, the large number of people, and the thickness of wealth, there is nothing comparable to that of the Central Plains. The army and the people of this place belong to the king, who the emperor rules, and if one day the ministers speak to the emperor, the emperor will regret it and try to get these back, and the king will not be empty and happy.

When Kublai Khan heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, and the wine also woke up, and asked Yao Shu, "Then what should I do?" "

Yao Shu said, "As long as you have military power, you will return the people and wealth to the emperor, and the cost of the army will be claimed from the emperor, so that you can justify the name." ”

Later, Möngke was ready to start purging the imperial court, but seeing Kublai Khan's sincere feelings and seeing that he was a mother and compatriot, he decided to spare this brother regardless of his previous suspicions and continue to run the Han Dynasty, while Kublai Khan took the opportunity to strengthen his rule in the south of the country and appointed a large number of Han courtiers to assist him. Influenced by Han culture, he fell in love with Confucian classics and advocated the use of Han law to govern the Central Plains.

In 1258, Möngke attacked the Southern Song Dynasty in three ways, trying to complete his efforts in one battle, however, the battle was not as smooth as he expected, and the small Diaoyu City was like a row of iron teeth and steel teeth, which clenched his army tightly and could not move forward at all. Mungo couldn't help but fall into a state of anxiety and madness, and even began to doubt life.

Since the Mongolian army did not have a fixed salary, their income basically came from the looting after the capture of the city, and now in a small fishing city spent so much manpower and material resources, if they returned empty-handed, the soldiers would definitely complain, and Möngke's prestige in the army would surely plummet. With no choice, Mungo would never retreat.

In 1259, Möngke personally put on his armor to boost morale. As soon as the results appeared, they were targeted by the Southern Song Defenders who had been waiting for a long time, and all of a sudden, all kinds of cannons and stones and crossbows greeted him, and before Meng Ge could turn around and flee, he was seriously injured and immediately dying, and the Mongolian army risked death to carry him back.

Suddenly, Möngke did not think that he would fall under the Diaoyu City, so he did not appoint an heir, and even his life was left behind, and he fell into a coma. It wasn't long before Mungo quickly lost his vital signs.

Born in 1215, Kublai Khan was the fourth child of Genghis Khan's youngest son, Tuolei, to the mother of whom he was Thrushcheni. He is said to be Genghis Khan's favorite grandson. From an early age, Kublai Khan fought on the battlefield with his father, Tuolei, who was only 17 years old when he died.

However, it was not until the end of his reign that Kublai Khan held important leadership. Although Genghis Khan pointed out the distribution of inheritance rights and his children followed his will, by the time Genghis Khan's grandchildren came to power, Mongolia had become fragmented. After the death of Genghis Khan's son Wokoutai Khan, his wife Empress Zhaoci ruled for a time, and later her son Guiyu inherited the throne. After the death of Guiyu Khan, his widow, Empress Chin-sook, declared regency.

Later, Möngke was elected Great Khan of Mongolia, and he was the son of Tuolei and Tulu Hethini. After Möngke Khan's death, the Kublai Khan brothers fought fiercely for the throne.

The youngest of them was named Ali Bugo (known as the "guardian of the family" in the Mongolian steppe), and he had the support of Batu, the brother of the Khan of the Golden Horde, and his nephew Haidu, who traveled through the northern steppes. The next successor to the throne was Kublai Khan, but Ali Buge's supporters opposed Kublai Khan's rule, believing him to be too "Sinicized" and not "Mongolized" enough.

But in the end, the throne still belonged to Kublai Khan!

On 5 May 1260, Kublai Khan ascended the throne as Emperor of the Great Mongol Empire, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. Kublai Khan issued the emperor's edict on the throne, the Emperor's Edict on the Throne, in which he called himself "Yuan" and called his brother Yuan Xianzong Möngke "The First Emperor". On 5 May 1260, Kublai Khan ascended the throne as Emperor of the Great Mongol Empire, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

Kublai Khan issued the emperor's edict on the throne, the Emperor's Edict on the Throne, in which he called himself "Yuan" and called his brother Yuan Xianzong Möngke "The First Emperor". Kublai Khan's restored administration healed the wounds of a century of war. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty retained the Song institutions and all the administrative officials, and also made every effort to obtain the personal allegiance of the officials who served at the time.

During his reign, Kublai Khan paid attention to the selection of talents, reused Han courtiers, such as Dong Wenbing (Whom Kublai Khan called Dong Da), Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Hongfan, etc., and appointed the Minister of Color, Ahma, to take charge of the state finances. Adopt Han law and establish various political systems. For example, the establishment of provinces at the local level, the establishment of Zhongshu provinces in the central government, and the creation of the end of the continental provincial system. He set up institutions specializing in agriculture, such as the "Si Nong Division" and the "Persuasion Agricultural Division", taking the achievements of the peasants as the main criterion for evaluating officials, and asked people to edit the "Nongsang Jijiao" and promulgated it nationwide in the 23rd year of the 23rd century. In order to strengthen the management of the border areas, open up Sino-foreign transportation, and establish post stations in various places, the rule over the whole country has been consolidated.
