Why did Genghis Khan pass the throne to a mediocre son, and not to the most capable son?

The most capable son is only better at using force, and is not suitable for governing the country, and passing on his throne to a mediocre son is because his son is resourceful and inconspicuous, but there is indeed a big way to govern the country and the family.

Genghis Khan passed on the throne to a mediocre son, not to the most capable son, because a military general was not suitable to be a prince and crown prince.

Genghis Khan considered that he wanted to be eternal, not only about his son, but also about his grandson. The sons of Ögedei were very good, and the sons of Torre were very cruel. Genghis Khan was afraid to pass the throne to them. They will kill innocents indiscriminately.

Genghis Khan started out as a marching army, but after Genghis Khan conquered his territory, he no longer faced the enemy army, but his own people. After the death of Genghis Khan, a benevolent monarch was needed to lead the Yuan Dynasty to prosperity and strength. So I don't choose the one that can be played the most.

Genghis Khan had 6 sons. The final fate is as follows:

1.Jochi:

During his lifetime, he repeatedly broke up with his younger brother Chagatai and Wokotai on the issue of the succession to the throne, and finally Genghis Khan chose Ogedai as the heir.

2.Child-in-law only checks the platform:

In May 1241, Chagatai Xianwokotai died of illness in seven months. Because Ögedei called him Aha (brother), the successive Great Khans also called his successor Chagatai Ahha.

3.The child is only a big nest and a broad platform:

In November 1241, midwinter fell, Wokotai went out hunting again, and after five days of riding and shooting, he also went to the Guhulan Mountain, singing and dancing in the tent, getting close to the singers, and drinking fine wine. Wokotai was in high spirits and indulged in booze until late at night. The next day, he went inside to visit and found that Ogedai had suffered a stroke and could not speak, and died in the hall soon after.

He was 56 years old and had reigned for 13 years.

4.Child's only a pound of mines:

In the summer of 1232, due to the scorching heat, Tuo Lei had to lead his army back to the division, and later fell ill and died on the way.

5.The son is only a pound and a column:

Although he is a concubine, he is very favored by his father. Later, he died of an arrow wound while traveling with Batu to Russia.

6.The child only looked at the Wu'er:

Chawuer died early, and did not become a hegemon like Jochi, the ancestor of the Kuoliejian and even the Golden Horde, the founder of the Chagatai Khanate, Chagatai, Yuan Taizong Wokotai, and Yuan Ruizong.

Genghis Khan's third son, Erjin Ogedei, succeeded to the throne. He reigned from 1186 to December 11, 1241, and in 1229 he was enthroned by the Kuritai Assembly to govern the entire Mongol Empire.

Continuing his father's legacy, he expanded his territory, went south to destroy the Jin Kingdom, and sent Batu on expeditions to Europe, during which he expanded his territory to Central Asia, North China, and Eastern Europe. During his reign, he appointed the Khitan Yelu Chucai as the Zhongshu Order, adopted the Han method, and opened the department to take scholars, reused the Central Plains people, and laid the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty.

Genghis Khan had a total of four sons-in-law, namely the eldest son Jochi, the second son Chagatai, the third son Ogedei, and the fourth son Torre, all of whom were born to the great queen Po Ert. These four sons are all talents who can take charge of themselves.

Genghis Khan did not lose his other three sons, and promised that the land conquered by Jochi's expedition to the west would be his fiefdom; promised to give Chagatai a fief and gave him judicial power; The most important asset, the core of the army, was handed over to Torre. Filial piety.

1.In the history of Mongolia, there have been very few people who have achieved great fame after their deaths, such as the Sulgar Jar.

2.He was Genghis Khan's father, and the glory of Genghis Khan was reflected on him.

3.However, it is time to put Ah Bald's life up and down, and she was born at the wrong time.

4.During his lifetime, the first Mongol kingdom founded by his ancestors was destroyed by the Tatar tribe and the Jin kingdom, and the history of Mongolia was in a period of many disasters.

5.He never seemed to have thought of ascending to the throne of Khan, where his uncle Khutula had held.

6.Until his death, he was just an ordinary leader of the Qiyan clan derived from the Qi'er Jin clan.

7.But it would be an exaggeration to infer that he played only an insignificant role on this basis.

8.First, although the war with the Tatars ended unhappily, as an individual, he won a real victory.

9.Because, as already mentioned, he captured two enemy chieftains in battle.

10.This was his proud achievement, so he named his eldest son after the name of one of the enemy chieftains, Temujin, as a permanent memorial.

11.Second, it is also necessary to form an alliance with the powerful Kreyiti tribe during his lifetime, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of the later Genghis Khan family.

12.Historians often forget this, and it's unfair.

13.Because, if it were not for this alliance that Abald had concluded during his lifetime, it would have been impossible for Genghis Khan to accomplish a career.

14.We can clearly see this from subsequent developments.

15.The Kreyiti people are one of the most mysterious ethnic groups in Mongolian history.

16.Of course, from an ethnographic point of view, they are undoubtedly Turkic-Mongol, but we cannot tell with certainty whether they are predominantly Mongol or Turkic.

17.The chronicles began to mention the Kreyiti only when they recorded the generation before Genghis Khan.

18.They played a pivotal role in Genghis Khan's generation.

19.At that time, the kingdoms of the steppe, large and small, could often be established in a few years, and often collapsed in a few years.

20.This was what the god of fate had arranged for them at that time.

21.It is not possible to accurately determine the area of activity of the Kreyiti Division.

22.However, several passages in the Secret History of the Mongols tell us that several of their chieftains were often active in the Black Forest on the banks of the Tula River.

23.The Black Forest (Tuwura) may be the Bogdo-Ula Mountains, located south of the Tula River and Kulun.

24.The same text in the Secret History of the Mongols also states that the western border of their area of activity was in the Nekhon River valley.

25.The Nekun River originates in the Hangai Mountains and flows to the Gobi Desert southwest of Hara and Lin.
