    In 1206, Genghis Khan established the Mongol Khanate, and then repeatedly expanded to the outside world, the territory became more and more vast, and the reputation became bigger and bigger, and spread at home and abroad. However, in the later period, the Mongol Khanate was divided into five states, one being the Yuan dynasty, and the other four being the Ilkhanate, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ögedai Khanate, and the Kipchak Khanate.

    In 1368, the Yuan Dynasty suffered a major crackdown, and the Ming army was overwhelmed, and Emperor Yuan Shun was forced to flee Beijing. At such a critical moment, the other four Mongol khanates did not send troops to the rescue, why is this?

    If you look at the situation in the four khanates, you may know why. The Ilkhanate, which by 1335 had ceased to exist and was destroyed; The Ögedai Khanate, which ceased to exist in 1309, fell before the Ilkhanate. And the time of the fall of the Yuan Dynasty was 1368, so it was not that these two khanates did not want to rescue, but they could not talk about rescue at all.

    The Chagatai Khanate and the Kipchak Khanate, one in 1680 and the other in 1502, both died after the Yuan Dynasty, but when the Yuan Dynasty was in a critical moment, the two khanates were also in turmoil and had no time to take care of themselves.

    Like Chagatai, because of the turmoil divided into two, the Western Khanate perished in the second year of the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Eastern Khanate continued until 1680, but it has been in turmoil, and there is no extra energy and troops to help the Yuan Dynasty deal with the Ming army, even if there are troops, it is estimated that it will not be able to defeat the Ming army.

    In the Kipchak Khanate, the turmoil was even more serious, from 1340 to 1380, in just 40 years, 20 Great Khans were replaced, and countless civil wars of all sizes were fought. If you don't have time to take care of yourself, how can you still have the ability to help the Yuan Dynasty? So it's not that these two khanates don't want to help, but they don't have the ability to help.

    Moreover, even if the four khanates were capable of helping the Yuan Dynasty at that time, judging from the mediocrity of the Yuan rulers and the corruption of the imperial court, in the end, they could only delay their demise, but not change the outcome of their decline and demise.

    The reason is that they have all taken care of one or the other, either they have perished, or their strength does not allow it. Of course, the fundamental reason is that their relationship with the Yuan Dynasty is detached, and even if they can help, they will not help.

    Because it was a foregone conclusion when the Yuan Dynasty fell, the help of the four khanates was not very effective.

    Because every country wants its soil to be stronger, the promotion war will consume the country, have a serious impact on the country, and will also cause a certain amount of loss, which is not conducive to the subsequent development of the country.

    Because they also have a tendency to take care of one or the other. Some have already perished, or their strength simply does not allow it, so they are like this.

    This is because there are more than civil wars between the four khanates, and they all have the same idea as the Golden Horde, and they are no longer willing to submit to the Yuan Dynasty, so they naturally will not lend a hand.

    Because the Golden Horde was a fiefdom of Batu and later became an independent state. And the Chagatai Khanate annexed the Ogedai Khanate, and wanted to be independent, so naturally they refused to go to help, and the Ilkhanate was also in constant war, and the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedai Khanate fought and dragged the Ilkhanate into the water, and the civil war between the four khanates continued, and they all had the same idea as the Golden Horde, and they refused to succumb to the Yuan Dynasty anymore, and if they wanted to be independent, they naturally would not lend a helping hand.

    I think the reason why the four khanates didn't make a move may be for their own interests, and they don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble, so they didn't make a move.

    Because the strength of Genghis Khan's four khanates at that time was not particularly strong, and the military strength was also very weak, so he was also too busy to take care of himself.

    This is because the overall situation of the Yuan Dynasty has been decided at that time, and even if the army is sent to rescue, it will not be able to save the final outcome.

    The four khanates have all been "greened", and even the interior of the Yuan Court is seriously green, and there are many contradictions. It's scary to think about! Can't say more!

    This was because the situation was very urgent and critical at that time, and even if reinforcements were sent at that time, it did not have much effect, and there was no way to return to heaven.

    Because the relationship between the Yuan Dynasty and the four khanates was the same clan, it can be said that the four khanates belonged to the forces of the Yuan Dynasty, and their predecessors were all Mongol Empires, so there was not much contradiction between several countries. The contradictions of the four khanates were mainly concentrated within the country, and there were not many power disputes and entanglements between them and the Yuan Dynasty.

    The Yuan Dynasty was no longer obsessed with external expansion, and its main task was to deal with the relationship between the Central Plains and the Mongol peoples within the country. In the end, the ruler chose the method of Mongol and Han different governance to solve the problem of water and soil adaptation.

    The Great Mongol Empire was vast and powerful. After Kublai Khan succeeded in taking the mantle of Genghis Khan, he succeeded in seizing the throne, and several of his brothers who lost the campaign took part of the Mongol Empire and established the four khanates. Therefore, the rulers of the four khanates had a blood relationship with Kublai Khan, and these countries belonged to the same Great Khan Empire as the Yuan Dynasty, and they belonged to the same lineage.

    The Yuan Dynasty not only did not have the idea of destroying the four khanates, but also tried to win over the four khanates to launch a war of aggression with them when expanding abroad, but it was a cooperative relationship.

    The later Yuan regime was in jeopardy, and the struggle with the Ming dynasty made them visibly powerless. The four khanates did not offer help at this time, on the one hand, because the four khanates were relatively independent from the Yuan Dynasty, and on the other hand, because the Ming Dynasty was strong, the four khanates chose to protect themselves rather than attack blindly.
