    In addition to the only thing, there are also some treasures that Han Peacock has seen outside. Maybe those are later copies, but they are all very famous.  For example, there is a pure gold globe weighing 37 kilograms that is still treasured in Iran.  There is also a Korean peacock here, which is inlaid with 51,366 precious gemstones such as red and sapphires, and the locations of Iran, China, the United Kingdom, Indonesia and other countries are marked with diamonds.  There are so many gems, even if Han Kongque's spiritual sense is keen, it took him a long time to check them.  Others that are more conspicuous include the famous "throne" that has long symbolized the royal power of Iran and is studded with jewels and jade. It is not the peacock throne just now, but there are ten other thrones in total.  Among these treasures, the most commonly used are gemstones, followed by diamonds. For example, there is a 182-carat diamond, which is pink in color. This should be one of the largest diamonds that has been polished in the world.  The famous jikao (feather-shaped jewelry headpiece), with a total weight of 781 carats of diamonds.  It can be said that most of the treasures that the Mongols snatched from Iran were made of gems, diamonds, gold, and platinum. These should all be treasures contributed by the Ilkhanate.  "Is it now Iraq's turn? It seemed like it was called Big Food in Black at that time?" Finally, he walked over to piles of treasures and came to some other boxes. Some of the boxes here were made of copper and some were made of iron.  More wooden.  So, there are a lot of treasures piled up here, but the treasures here are different from the ones just now.  "I'm afraid there are more treasures here. Hulagu ruled Baghdad for a long time." Han Kongque said.  "The main reason is that Black Clothes Dashi was considered a strong and big country back then. The treasures stolen from such a big country should be more." Mu Ling said.  "Now we have picked up the treasures of the Kipchak Khanate and the Ili Khanate. I don't know how many more treasures there are behind." Han Kongque said.  "Mongolia was one of the four great empires back then, right? There must be treasures from the other two empires." Jin Yao said.  "Are these all the treasures of the Ilkhanate? How big was the Ilkhanate back then?" Huangshan asked at this time. ?? Han Peacock smiled, Huangshan really got the point right. The Ilkhanate back then was really not small.  In March 1257 AD, Baizhu, who was stationed in Azerbaijan, came to the army. Hulagu, Baizhu and others continued the Western Expedition, aiming directly at Baghdad, the capital of the Black Era.  At that time, the Caliph of the Abbasid Dynasty, Mostaxin, was in power. He not only directly ruled the black-clad food, but also governed the entire religious world. He was a powerful country in the Mesopotamia.  In the winter of 1257 AD, Hulagu, Baizhu and others led a three-pronged siege of Baghdad. At the beginning of the next year, the three armies encircled and launched a general attack on Baghdad. The Mongolian army attacked the city of Baghdad with artillery and stone, and the city gate was destroyed by artillery fire.  In February, the caliphate of Mostaxin surrendered, Hulagu captured Baghdad, and the Mongolian army looted the city for seven days. Mostaxin was executed, and the Abbasid dynasty was destroyed.  Hulagu led his army to continue to advance westward, entering Syria and reaching Damascus, extending his influence deep into Southwest Asia.  Because the Mongolian army was defeated by the Egyptian army, Hulagu was forced to stop his westward march, stayed in Tbilisi, and established the Ilkhanate.  In the nearly half century from 1217 to 1258 AD, the Mongol Empire, centered on the Mongol Khan, through three western expeditions, successively conquered Kipchak, Khwarezm, west of the Aral Sea and north of the Caspian Sea, and Altai in the east.  The Chagatai Khanate was established in Xiliao and Uighur from Shanxi to the Amu Darya River.  The Ogedai Khanate was established in the old Naiman territory from the upper reaches of the Ob River to the west of Lake Balkhash.  The Kipchak Khanate was established in the principalities of Ryazan, Vladimir, Moscow, and Kiev in the Volga River Basin.  A total of three countries in the Mesopotamia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Syria, were grouped together to establish the Ilkhanate.  It was these four khanates that formed an unprecedented empire in world history.  Until now, countless people are still studying how the Mongols rose and why they were so powerful.  ??In fact, it seems now that they are not that powerful. They just adopted appropriate strategies, strong soldiers, and shrewd leadership.  The main reason for the victory of your Mongolian Western Expedition was that you strategically adopted a strategy of successive occupations from near to far, with the Mongolian desert as the center and expanding outward step by step.  In terms of tactics, they paid attention to learning Han military technology and used Han craftsmen to make cannons, which improved their tactical advantages. During the Western Expedition, they concentrated superior forces. For example, Batu¡¯s Western Expedition used all the eldest sons. Wo Kuotai believed that ¡°if the eldest son goes to the expedition, there will be a large number of troops.¡±  , powerful and powerful".  The fierce Mongolian cavalry is suitable for long-distance combat, and its combat effectiveness is quite powerful.  And the Eurasian feudal societyThe country was divided. For example, Russia was divided into many small principalities, fighting with each other and unable to deal with the outside world in unison. Although Khwarezm was a big country, it divided its troops to defend the city and defended passively, unable to concentrate its forces to face the enemy.  The Black-clad Dashi is also a big country, but they are ruled by religion, just like a flock of lambs. Therefore, they can only perish one after another under the attack of the Mongolian army.  If we simply talk about how powerful the Mongols are, but we don¡¯t have an intuitive understanding, then let¡¯s talk about the Ili Khanate, one of the four great empires of the Yuan and Mongolia!  We all know that the Ilkhanate was founded by Emperor Hulagu the Great, but who is he?  Borjijin Hulagu, the grandson of Genghis Khan, the son of Tuo Lei, the brothers of Kublai Khan, Meng Ge and Ali Bu Ge, all four of them were born to Tuo Lei's wife, Solu Hetni. Hulawu was from Yili  The founder of the Khanate and the conqueror of Southwest Asia, he destroyed the Arab Empire in 1258.  So you may not know how powerful it is, so let¡¯s talk about the Arab Empire. The Arab Empire was an empire established by the Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle Ages. Chinese history books since the Tang Dynasty have called it Dashi, and  Western Europe is accustomed to calling it the Saracen Empire.  The Arab Empire lasted for 626 years, mainly including the four caliphate periods (632-661 years) and the Umayyad dynasty (661-750 years) and the Abbasid dynasty (750-1258 years).  In 1258, the Abbasid capital Baghdad was captured by Hulagu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition of the Great Mongolia, and the Arab Empire was destroyed.  So how big was the Arab Empire?  When Arabia was at its peak, its territory stretched from the Indus River and Congling Mountains in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west, to the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea and southern France in the north, and to the Arabian Sea and the Sahara Desert in the south, with a land area of ??13.4 million square kilometers.  What is the area of ????this land?  Are you surprised? It is larger than Russia today.  Therefore, the Arab Empire is one of the empires with the longest span between east and west in the ancient history of the world. It is also a great empire that spans Asia, Europe and Africa after the Persian Achaemenid Dynasty, Alexander Empire, Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire.  Due to its unique geographical location, the rise of the Arab Empire changed the development process of many surrounding nations and had a very important impact on the history of the Middle Ages.  But such a powerful empire was destroyed by Boljijin Xuliewu. When he was 18 years old, he accompanied Batu on his expedition across the Eastern European steppes and reached present-day Hungary.  In the war with the Hungarian Magyars, he and Subotai divided their forces into five groups and defeated the Magyar army at the Dunin River.  After the death of Guiyou, the son of Ogedai, in 1248, Hulagu joined forces with Batu and others to actively support his eldest brother Meng Ge, who won the title of Great Khan at the meeting of princes in 1251.  During the subsequent Meng Ge attack on the Ogedei clique, Hulagu was ordered to inspect the Shiliemen and others, and made great contributions to Meng Ge's rule.  In 1253, Hulagu led the main army to cross the Amu Darya River to conquer Persia westward. Hulagu divided his army into three groups to attack and captured the castle of the leader Horsha.  Next came the Arab Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad. Hulagu first broke the embankments and released water to flood the Caliphate's main army and commander, and then used a wonderful siege to force the Caliph to abandon the city and surrender.  Baghdad¡¯s change of flag plunged the world into a state of panic. After that, it successively attacked Syria and other places.  In 1264, he accepted the canonization of the Yuan Dynasty and became Yierhan.  In his later years, Hulagu devoted himself to consolidating his rule in Persia. He eliminated the separatist forces in Persia through force coercion or marriage, making Persia the core area of ????Ilkhanate rule.  By the reign of his grandson Ghazan Khan, the Ilkhanate reached its peak, with its territory "from the Amu Darya River in the east, to the Mediterranean in the west, from the Caucasus in the north, to the Indian Ocean in the south", and its economy and culture were also prosperous.  The rule of the Ilkhanate lasted until 1388, when it died at the hands of Timur, who was also a descendant of Genghis Khan.  Seeing this, do you understand why Guo Jing is a rich, handsome man?  Although Guo Jing is a fictional character in the novel, he is such a character and is definitely a fighter in the world, because he is Tuo Lei's sworn brother.  Maybe Tuo Lei doesn¡¯t have much achievements, but his son is amazing!  Let¡¯s not talk about Kublai Khan. He is regarded as the founding emperor of Yuanmeng in China. Mengge is a big man among the Mongolian people. In terms of status, he is higher than Kublai Khan. The most important thing is that he was influenced by Hulagu.  support, I have just mentioned how powerful Hulagu is, so Brother Meng can only be more powerful than Kublai Khan and Hulagu.  Among them, perhaps only Brother Ali has the least achievements, but he is also an unrivaled warrior.  After Meng Ge died, in the summer of 1260, Ali Bu Ge was in Hara and Lin.He was elected as the Great Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom by the local nobles of Mongolia.  However, Kublai Khan refused to accept, so the two sides launched a fierce civil war, which lasted for four years.  "The Han people all know how powerful Kublai Khan is, and a guy who can fight with Kublai Khan for four years cannot be said to be not powerful.  ??Moreover, among the major Mongolian khanates at that time, the Kipchak Khanate, Chagatai Khanate, and Ogedai Khanate all supported Ali Buge, while only the Ilkhanate supported Kublai Khan.
