Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 459 Khan's Gold Content
Khan, or specifically to have a title of Khan, actually has its own set of inheritance system and rules.

And it's a big rule.

Then, there is a problem. All the tribal leaders on the grasslands, large and small, can be called khans. They are like grass kings. It doesn't sound like they are worth much!
Yes, in fact, just a khan is really not worth much.

The real gold content is actually Khan's previous title.

For example, the name Tian Khan, which has been talked about by posterity all the time, its nobility lies in the word Tian.

In fact, according to transliteration, Tian Khan can be translated as Dengli Khan or Dengli Khan, or it can be directly called Tengger Khan.

The reason why it is called Tian Khan is the masterpiece of the collective flattery of the translators of the Tang Dynasty and the tribal leaders on the grassland.

God Khan, that sounds majestic!It's almost like being the king of the world.

And it can also be explained, because Tengger means heaven, heaven, and god in Turkic, and even the original belief of many grassland peoples is Tengger.

The vitality of this word is extremely strong, and it has been passed down to the later Republic period.

The longevity of the Mongols is Tengger, so Dengli Khan and Tengger Khan are translated into Tian Khan, and there seems to be no problem.

It is true that in the system of grassland khans, Tengger Khan is indeed higher than other khans, so a little bit.

But it is incorrect to regard Tengger Khan as the sweat of many sweats.

However, after the relay between Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong father and son, the name Tengger Khan also began to become more honorable in the hearts of the grassland people.

Let's take a look at the title Ju'er Khan again. Later generations also like to translate it into the sweat of many sweats.

This is also incorrect, because the word Ju'er in Ju'er Khan can actually be translated as Gur or Chuluo.

In other words, Ju'er Khan is equivalent to Gur Khan and Chuluo Khan.

And their etymology is que, which is spelled Kul according to the Latin alphabet of later generations, and the pronunciation is just similar to que.

Its original meaning is glory or glory, so the original meaning of Juer Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Gur Khan is Glory Khan.

So, why is Ju'er Khan called the Khan of Khans?

Some people in later generations even referred to India's Mughal Empire as the Ju'er Khanate, and it is reasonable to say that this title is extremely noble.

That has to start with Tang Taizong.

After Tang Taizong conquered the grasslands, the Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tiele and other tribes elected Tang Taizong as Dengli Khan, also known as Tengger Khan, and was translated into Tian Khan by officials of the Tang Dynasty.

When Tang Taizong passed away, Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne, but the rule on the grassland is that the Khan's position can be inherited, but the Khan's title cannot be inherited.

Therefore, at this time, all ethnic groups in Monan and Mobei are planning to hold a recommendation meeting, and then give Tang Gaozong the title of Khan.

But this matter was known by the officials of the Tang Dynasty Yanran Dufu Mansion, which was later the Anbei Dadu Hufu, and they almost didn't scare the pee.

What are you fucking courting death for?
With such a recommendation, wouldn't it be that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to be supported by all the tribes in the south and north?

Does that mean that if the future emperor succeeds to the throne, he cannot become a Khan if he is not recommended by you?

are you crazy?This is not electing Khan, you are democratically electing the Emperor of Tang!Isn't this a pure brain problem?

The leaders of the various ethnic groups in Monan and Mobei who understood it were also frightened, and immediately stopped thinking about continuing to push him.

But that can't help giving Tang Gaozong the title of Khan!That is also to be beaten.

So the leaders of the tribes reluctantly made a decision to go against their ancestors, and let the title of Tian Khan, Dengli Khan, be passed on to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Gaozong also successfully became Tian Khan.

After the decline of the Tang Dynasty, it still maintained a relatively strong military force. In addition, the grassland people relied on the supplies of the Central Plains court, so the title of Tian Khan was passed down according to this habit.

But in fact, in the hearts of the grassland people, since the Anshi Rebellion, the inheritance of Tian Khan no longer exists.

Because after the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Ting invited the Uighur Khan to the Central Plains to quell the chaos, and was insulted by the Uighurs many times, so he could no longer be called Tian Khan.

Therefore, the well-deserved stage of Tang Ting's Tian Khan ended in the period of Tang Xuanzong.

Later, although some grassland tribes continued to call the emperor of the Tang Dynasty Tian Khan, they just wanted to cheat the tribute and rewards.

But this day the khan is gone, is there any khan on the grassland?

Have!nor.

Yes, it means that Khans have always existed, such as Huairen Khan, Zhongzhen Khan, and Baoyi Khan. Just by looking at the names, you can tell that this is a Khan without a title, and was bestowed by the Tang Dynasty.

The barbarian Khan who was teased by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was called Zhenzhu Pijia Khan.

So it can also be said that there is no, because their titles of khans either simply use their own names, or are characters bestowed by the Tang Dynasty.

The only khan with a little title is Pang Teqin, who named himself Pija Que Kadir Khan after he established the Kara Khanate.

In his name, the Que is the Kul that can be translated into Juer and Chuluo.

But in fact, Pang Teqin himself knew that this Juer was just entertaining himself, and no one would admit it.

So I didn't dare to call Ju'er Khan or Chuluo Khan directly, but added Pija and Kadir to cover it up.

Therefore, whether it is his descendants or the surrounding tribes, they have always called Pang Teqin by Kadir Khan, and never mentioned the word Que.

Moreover, the title Ju'erhan given to Zhang Zhao on Suiye Zhubu is actually the word Que used by Pang Teqin.

Thinking that Suiye was once the territory of Ponteqin Kara Khanate, I have to say that the Kara Khanate has a heritage of claiming to be Juer Khan.

Zhang Zhao didn't know it at the time, but accepted it with a smile.

I didn't know until I got back to Liangzhou, Ma De, it turned out that this was the case, it's too shameful!So he never let people mention the title Ju'er Khan again.

The Kara Khanate, after Pang Teqin, began to go astray.

They didn't dare to use their titles, and changed the main Khan to Arslen Khan, also known as Lion Khan, and the Deputy Khan to Bugla Khan, also known as Male Camel Khan, and they could be passed down from generation to generation.

From Heavenly Khan to lions and male camels representing animals, what kind of cows and horses are these?
The force is already below sea level, so of course this is not the title of Khan.

It can be understood why the world, especially the grassland tribes, were so shocked after Yelu Dashi was jointly elected as Juer Khan by more than a dozen ethnic tribes such as Uighur, Mierqi, Uligu, and Shiwei.

Because from 762 when Emperor Xuanzong died of Tang Dynasty to 1132 when Yelu Dashi was elected as Ju'er Khan, it has been 70 years. For the first time on the grassland, the honorary name Khan-Ju'er Khan jointly promoted by all ethnic groups appeared.

The only Khan with the title Khan in almost 400 years, of course, will be called the Khan of Khans by the following votes who use their names, religions, and strange animals as Khans.

But this time, after being fooled by the title of Ju'er Khan, Zhang Tianwang also viciously made up the rules about the title of Khan on the Grassland.

He vowed to turn this humiliating experience of being fooled into a fact.

He wants to be the one and only Khan for these 80 years!
In fact, before this, there was one person who could get the title Khan, and that was Zhang Zhao's cheap uncle Yelu Abaoji.

But Yelu Abaoji didn't dare to be the Khan, because the Khitans were engaged in the election of the Khan. If he dared to ask for the title of Khan, then the legitimacy of the Khitan system would be confirmed.

Therefore, in order to pass on the position of Khitan Khan to his descendants, Yelu Abaoji simply did not ask for the title of Khan, but directly became the emperor.

It can be said that this was all forced, if it wasn't for Yelu Abaoji, in order to change the system of selection into a hereditary system, he would have gone to ask someone to wear the honorary title.

As for the issue that the title of Grassland is far less noble than the title of Emperor of the Central Plains.

For example, after Tang Taizong got the title of Tian Khan, he hardly used it, and ordered it as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

There are also the emperors of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, who never used the honorary titles of the Mongols, but the question of being called the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

This is actually determined by the culture of the Central Plains. There must be a level between the grassland khan and the emperor, so they prefer to use the more honorable title of emperor.

But Zhang Zhao didn't think so, what a wonderful thing the title Khan is!
It can be used to stir up the situation in the desert, to divert the disasters of the grassland to the west, and to strengthen the centripetal force of the grassland people.

Of course you have to use it, and use it well.

This may be the difference between Zhang Zhao and the emperors of all dynasties, because he knows what is in the west, instead of just looking at the world in the Central Plains.

Arm the various ethnic groups in the grassland, assimilate them, and then use them as minions to find a way of life for them all the way west, and in this way arouse the pride of the Han people to continue going out of the frontier.

Isn't this better than tangling which one to use as the title Khan or the emperor? It's much more flattering?

. . . .

On the second day of February when the dragon raised its head, Zhang Zhao built a general platform in Yanqi.

He worshiped Bai Congxin as the emissary of the West Road, and led his horses to kill talents and Li Cunhui generals.

Guided by the surrendered general Zhai Guozhong, a total of [-] cavalry troops left the Baishui Army City and headed west to recover Zhangbao Shouzhuo (Urumqi), Wuzai Shouzhuo (Manas) and other places.

Then pay homage to Murong Xinchang as the Beilu envoy, leading Huang Yingda, Zhe Deyuan, Murong Yanzhao, Wang Shenqi, Zhao Kuangyin and others, leading an army of [-].

Guided by the merchants of the Xiajiasi tribe, they went north to Tingzhou, and then went west to recruit the Xiajiasi people near Xuanchi (Zhaisangbo).

In mid-March, Bai Congxin, Li Cunhui and others will recover Zhangbao and Wu Zaier, and they will find traces of the Geluolu people and Saktu.

At the end of March, Murong Nobunaga and other generals arrived near Manas Lake and named the lake Great Salt Lake.

However, due to the heavy snowstorm, the original plan to continue going northward to reach the former Dudu Mansion in the Yinshan Mountain of the Tang Dynasty failed, and of course it failed to continue going northward to reach Xuanchi.

But Nobunaga Murong knew why Zhang Zhao sent him north, so he sent small troops if the large army couldn't get through.

Then he sent Zhang Xibao to lead [-] elite cavalry to continue his business with Xia Jiasi, while he led his army back and moved closer to Bai Congxin's department.

At the end of April, Murong Xinchang and Bai Congxin joined forces, and the [-] troops continued westward to Huangcaopo, which is the vicinity of the later Aibi Lake.

The army immediately discovered and raided the Saktu Department, which was waiting and watching here, and wanted to enter Tingzhou.

The two sides fought for two hours, and Saktu was defeated again. He was forced to continue westward with thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, separated from Ge Luolu's tribes, and fled to the territory of the Oguz people.

At the end of May, Bai Congxin, Murong Xinchang, Li Cunhui, etc., returned with the two leaders Ge Luolu and Chitong.

The leaders of the two ministries presented white camels, white horses, white cattle and other tributes to Zhang Zhaojin to express their submission.

In mid-June, Suiye Guo's family, Governor of Huwen City Rashid Salaiman, and Saman Persian Emir Hamid all sent people to Yanqi.

At the end of June, Zhang Xibao, who had advanced to the former governor's mansion in the Yinshan Mountains of the Tang Dynasty, returned, and brought a few little kings from the Xiajias tribe, and some tiger and wolf skins as tribute.

So far, the various conditions for recommending the honorary name Great Khan have basically reached the minimum standard.
