However, in fact, this man was born out of the shoddy history of the Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty? God man? Like his grandfather, Guo Baoyu, the deeds of these two generations have been greatly boasted.
After Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming Dynasty, recovered Yanyun and drove the Mongols out of the Great Wall, he ordered Song Qian and other civil servants to compile yuan dynasty history in more than a year, in order to directly declare the demise of the Yuan Dynasty from the legal system when the Mongols were still very powerful in Mobei. Therefore, this history book, which is completely unscrambled and sorted out, copies all kinds of messy historical materials of the Yuan Dynasty, and the historical materials are of low value. Many people's deeds are bizarre and completely unfounded.
Yuan dynasty history, about? Guo Kan? Following the story of Prince Xu Liewu, the founder of Ilihan, I copied Liu Yu's The Journey to the West, in which I made all kinds of exaggerated boasting, blowing many famous towns in the Middle East that were not on Xu Liewu's marching route, and were conquered by Guo Kan.
There are countless historical materials about the conquered areas of the Mongolian army's western expedition, which have been summarized by many famous European and American historians for hundreds of years, but the invincible and even famous city of Guo Kan has never been mentioned.
Regarding Xu Liewu's Western Expedition in history, who helped him attack and destroy Persia (i.e.? The old man in the mountains? ), capture Baghdad, destroy the remnants of the Arab Empire, and the most effective generals to destroy the Syrian Ayub dynasty must be Mongolian generals Kitbuqa and Bai Zhu.
Ili Mongolia: Xulie Uighur Khan
Before he launched the Western Expedition, Mongolian general Chuomahan, as the governor of Mongolia in Persia, had conquered most of the Caucasus and Persia successively. After the death of Hanzhong Feng in Zhuo Ma, his deputy Kitbuqa conquered Asia Minor and Armenia successively, and invaded the two river basins many times.
Xu Liewu stopped the Western Expedition because of Mongo's death. After Li Dong moved, those who stayed behind were defeated by the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry, captured and killed, and the Syrian region was also seized by the Egyptian army.
Bai Zhu has always been proud of himself. In this war, he was investigated for defeat and was executed.
Xu Liewu, who lost his right-hand man, could not defeat Mamluk cavalry and recover Syria after returning to Persia even if he gave up his ambition to compete for the position of Mongolian Khan.
Xu Liewu, founder of Hande, Ilg, Mongolia. ( 12 17~ 1265)
Temujin's grandson, Tuo Lei's sixth son. Participate with Badou? The eldest son's western expedition? , into Hungary, and the northern Jiangsu equal army in five ways, defeated the Hungarian army in the Dunning River. Supported his brother Mongo to win the Khan position, and was ordered to lead more than 10 thousand troops to explore Persia, eliminate the Marne Sect, and conquer more than 90 cities; Break its banks and release water to annihilate the Arab army, capture Baghdad, kill the caliph, slaughter 800,000 people and destroy the Arab Empire. Occupy Damascus, occupy Syria, and destroy the Ayub dynasty. After Mungo's death, the Western Expedition was suspended. After Kublai Khan claimed to be Khan, he was named ilhan, and later he was an enemy of the Jin brothers for many years. Because Nestorianism is considered by Christians? The return of Constantine? .
General Kitbuqa of the Yuan Dynasty (? ~ 1260)
Naiman believes in Nestorianism. He led 12,000 troops to the west and conquered Persia five years later. Follow Xu Liewu to capture Baghdad and destroy the Arab Empire. He crossed the Euphrates River and occupied Aleppo and Damascus. Meng Ge's death came, and Xu Liewu returned to Li. Kitbuqa left 20,000 soldiers in Syria and made friends with the Crusaders. The Berbers of Sudan sent the troops of Mamluk Dynasty of Egypt to attack, and Kitbuqa met him in Ain Jarut and fought to the death. Laughing at enemy chiefs after being defeated and captured? I've been a servant of Khan all my life, unlike you who murdered the monarch? , was beheaded.
Bye, Mongolian general (? ~ 1260)
Don't act rashly. Become the famous Zhe Bie. He was the deputy general of Chumahan, recruited from Persia and Caucasus, and succeeded him as a commander after his death. Attack the famous cities of Asia Minor and Lianke, and take over the local ministries. In the battle of Kosada, the Roman Sultan Kemsru II was defeated, forcing him to pay the money, losing his old age, splitting the country into three, and the Armenian state also fell, splitting the country into two. He fought fiercely with the caliph of Abbas for a long time, attacking Antioch and Baghdad. From Xuliewu to the west, there is a right-wing marshal, even a city in the northwest of Baghdad. Later, he was defeated by the Egyptian army in the battle of Ain Jalu and lost Damascus. Because of his arrogance, he was executed by Xu Liewu for losing the army.
Graceful, Mongolian general (? ~ 124 1)
Han Tiege Dai, alias Li. Brave three armies, the Mongols call it the golden pillar. He once went to Russia with Zhe Bie and northern Jiangsu. Prince Zalandin of Hua La Zi Mo returned to Persia, and Chuma Khan was ordered to command 30,000 soldiers. Zalandin fell and died on the run. Zhuoermahan troops stationed in Tabrizi, invaded Sipos and the Caucasus, harassed the two river basins, ambushed and invited attacks, annihilated 7,000 caliphs, and captured many cities, which had a great influence on the western regions. The local princes bowed to the wind. So he was ordered to lose the cloth and silk to the tribute and forest, and set the amount of money. Because of a stroke, he died soon, and the lieutenant took over the throne.
In the whole process of the Western Expedition, Guo Kan was only an intermediate general at most, and never entered the high-level strategic decision of the Mongolian army, let alone left credible relevant records.
In the history of the Yuan Dynasty, I don't know how many stories of Mongolian generals and counselors were passed on to the grandparents and grandchildren of Guo Baoyu and Guo Kan. Temujin, Wokuotai and Kublai Khan, the golden families that dominate the world, seem to be humble pupils and marionettes in front of them.
Guo Kan told Kublai Khan in the Biography of the Yuan Dynasty that he had "sent Chen Jianguo, built the capital, set up provincial post stations, developed schools and other 25 things, and made plans to pacify the Song Dynasty", which obviously deserves to be called the great talent of Prime Minister Wang Zuozhi.
The so-called policy: Song occupied the southeast, made wuyue his home, and its important place was Jingxiang. Today's plan should be to take Xiangyang first. Not only Xiangyang, Biyang and Lucheng, but also a tiny place, we ignored them and went straight to Lin 'an. The thunder was like thunder, and Jianghuai and Bashu were not broken.
Judging from its content, conception and implementation effect, Guo Kan can be compared with the first-class military strategists in history, such as Han Xin, Zhuge Liang, Li Bi and Yue Fei.
However, with Guo Kan's military and political all-rounder and peerless talent, his official position ended in Haizhou Zhizhou, sealing thousands of households. Is it that Kublai Khan was jealous of talents, unfairly rewarded and punished, and deliberately suppressed the Han people?
Kublai Khan:
No, let's take a look at the Han generals and ministers that Kublai Khan really trusted, such as Liu, Zhang Hongfan and Dong Wenbing. Which one is not out, the duke or even the knighthood, enough to compete with Mongolian etiquette? Then, why should a Han minister like Guo Kan, who has worked for Mongolia for three generations and made great contributions, be so appreciated?
A person in yuan dynasty history who is very similar to Guo Kan's life record is the Mongolian famous Bo Yan, who once made great contributions to the Western Expedition together with Xu Liewu. Then meet Kublai Khan, get Kublai Khan's appreciation and seek state affairs. He was appointed Commander-in-Chief of Song Jun, defeated the130,000 army led by Jia Sidao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, then attacked Jiangnan, entered the capital Lin 'an, and captured Queen Xie.
As for Guo Kan's so-called first attack on Xiangyang? Pingsongze? And look at the real contribution of Kublai Khan, the Han counselor Hao Jing's "East Teacher's Suggestion":
Referring to the elemental theory of the Southern Song Dynasty, he said that with Jing and Xiang, Huai Lake can be protected in the north of Anhui and the north bank of Huaihe River in eastern Henan, and Huai Lake can be protected in the south of the Yangtze River. First of all, I have tasted Jing, Xiang and Shang, but I have nothing.
Are they exactly the same? Is it a substitute, or great minds think alike.
