However, his abandonment of unifying the world is completely false. In fact, he probably died in 1227. After his death, his grandson Kublai Khan established Beijing in 127 1 year. The Mongolian army, which was invincible before, was defeated in the battle of Fishing City in the Southern Song Dynasty until 65438+.
So what really stopped him from unifying the world was death. In fact, he was 66 years old when he died, and it was more than 50 years after defeating the Southern Song Dynasty. Even if he lives to be over 100, he will never be able to unify the world again.
Moreover, there are many legends about his death. The battle to destroy Xixia during his lifetime can be said to be the most beautiful battle in his career. It is said that Xixia, who surrendered at that time, broke the contract and he fought back. As a result, he couldn't attack for a long time. He saw three big trees at the entrance of Xixia, so he cut down one of them, then cut it into a sharp arrow, and then tied an epithelial tendon between the two trees, which became a giant arrow and shot through the gate of Xixia. I don't know if it's true or not.
Then some people say that he died of illness after destroying Xixia, others say that he was bitten off by the captured Xixia queen and died, and vowed that it was because of this that he killed all the Xixia kings. Although he died in such humiliation, after his death, the Xixia king city was indeed slaughtered, and the whole Xixia civilization disappeared in the smoke tide of history.
