The complete story of Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan was an outstanding statesman and military strategist in world history. As an emperor of his generation, what stories does he have? I have collected the complete story of Genghis Khan for everyone. I hope it will be helpful to you!
Genghis Khan’s childhood experience:
Genghis Khan, Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, was born Temujin in the second year of Dading, Emperor Shizong of the Jin Dynasty. Later, because his father was killed, his troops were scattered. After continuous efforts, combined with Jamuka and his father's Andatuo Lingle, they reorganized the Qiyuan tribe, which was nicknamed the Qiyan tribe, and finally gradually developed and even unified Mongolia. At that time, what is now northern China was under the rule of the Jurchen Jin Dynasty. The northern and southern grasslands of the desert are independent of each other and do not belong to each other. The Jin Dynasty implemented the policy of "divide and rule" and massacre and plunder.
In 1146, the leader of the Mongolian tribe, An Bahai Khan, was nailed to a wooden donkey by Jin Xizong in the name of punishing rebels. The Mongolian tribal alliance has organized many resistance struggles, and generations of their ancestors have sacrificed their blood and lives for this. Temujin, who was born in this social environment, naturally regarded the victory of the Jin Kingdom as the most important goal in his life.
He has always kept this hatred in his heart. It is this hatred of generations that has led to the long-term wars inside and outside the grassland. Temujin’s mother, Mrs. Hoelun, was born in the Hongji tribe and was the same as Mierqi. Everyone gets married. In the autumn of 1161, Yesugei, the leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, was hunting on the banks of the Onan River and discovered Hoelun passing by the Mongolian tribe's station. With the help of several brothers, according to the tradition of "bridal abduction" at that time, he defeated the Meerbeggar and snatched away Hoelun's wife, so Hoelun became Yesugei's wife.
The next year, Yesugei captured Temujin Uge, the leader of the Tatar tribe, just at this time his first son was born. In order to celebrate the victory of the war, Yesugei named his newborn eldest son "Temujin". When Temujin was 9 years old, his father was poisoned to death by Temujin's son Zalinbuhe. After Yesu's death, Talihutai of the Taichiwu tribe of the Anbahai Khan took the opportunity to cause trouble and incited the Mongolian tribes to abandon Temujin's mother and son, causing his family to fall from the position of tribal leader into the abyss of misery.
The only defeat in more than 60 wars in his life: the Thirteen Wings War
When Temujin was 18 years old, his former enemy, Minister Totuo of the Meerqi tribe, took away again his wife. Temujin went to war against the Mierqi tribe and defeated the Mierqi tribe. Around 1184, Temujin was elected as the Khan of the Mongolian Beggar Yan tribe.
Temujin's claim of khan aroused the jealousy of the ambitious Jamuka. Jamuka combined with 13 troops including Tatar and Taichiwu to launch the "War of Thirteen Wings" against Temujin. This was Temujin's only defeat among the more than 60 wars he experienced in his life.
Died
In the autumn of 1225 (1225), Genghis Khan returned to the Mongolian grasslands after seven years of western expedition. Because Xixia betrayed the alliance, the general Mu Huali died in hatred. Genghis Khan insisted on conquering Xixia himself regardless of his 64-year-old age. He was injured while hunting on the way and had a high fever, but he still refused to retreat. The king of Xixia was forced to send an envoy to ask for surrender.
Genghis Khan was critically ill and rested in Liupan Mountain, leaving behind three famous wills. Genghis Khan died in Qingshui County near Liupan Mountain on July 12, the 22nd year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty (August 25, 1227).
Although he failed to destroy Xixia in his own lifetime, he left his descendants with the strategy of destroying Xia and Jin.
Legend of cause of death
Although history books say that Genghis Khan died of illness, the historical reality is that he died abnormally. However, there are different opinions on the cause of Genghis Khan's death. Among them, the theory that the Xixia princess was bitten to death or the theory that Wokuotai was poisoned to death is the most likely.
1. The Xixia princess bit her to death. "The Origin of Mongolia" records that Genghis Khan attacked Xixia, and Xixia begged for surrender and offered some beauties at Genghis Khan's request, including the Princess of Xixia. The Princess of Xixia hated Genghis Khan so much that when Genghis Khan molested her, she bit off Genghis Khan's private parts. Genghis Khan was bleeding profusely and died that day.
2. Being struck to death by lightning.
Mongolians have a superstitious belief that God uses thunder and lightning to warn those who are unfilial. Genghis Khan was suspected of being unfilial because he made his mother angry and her mother died. Therefore, he was particularly afraid of thunder and lightning. In the summer of 1227, Genghis Khan accidentally entered a minefield and was struck by lightning and died.
3. Being trampled to death by a horse. According to the "Secret History of Mongolia" (Volume 14) compiled by the Mongolians, Genghis lived there for the winter and wanted to conquer Tangwu. He reorganized his army and horses, and in the autumn of the Year of the Dog, he went to conquer Tang Wu, and his wife also followed. In the winter, Genghis Khan was hunting on the ground in A'er, riding a red sand horse. He was frightened by the wild horse, and Genghis Khan fell off his horse. ?After falling from his horse, he was trampled by the horse behind him and died.
4. The theory of hitting an arrow. In early 1227, Genghis Khan was hit by a poisonous arrow in the knee while fighting in Xixia, which eventually led to his death. The famous Italian traveler Marco Polo believed in his posthumous works that Genghis Khan died of an arrow wound. "Shengwu's Personal Expeditions" states that Genghis Khan was wounded by arrows three times: the battle of Kuoyitan in 1202, the battle of attacking Xijing in 1212, and an arrow in the knee during the attack on Xixia in 1226. It is estimated that the last arrow wound had a greater impact on his body. Foreign and domestic books such as "Biography of the World's Invaders", "Historical Collection", "Translation of Yuan History", "Compendium Translation", etc. all say that "die of sweating sickness takes eight days".
5. The theory of poisoning. There is another folk legend, the "poisoning theory", this theory comes from "Marco Polo's Travels". Marco Polo was an Italian merchant in the 13th century who arrived in China in 1275. It was the time when Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, was in power, and they had 17 years of contacts in the Yuan Dynasty. The cause of Genghis Khan's death recorded in his travel notes: When he was besieging Taijin (Jizhou, an ancient fortress) during his attack on Xixia, his knee was unfortunately hit by a poisonous arrow shot by a Xixia soldier. The result can be imagined, the poisonous arrow hits the heart, the injury becomes more serious, and the patient cannot afford to fall ill. But there is another folk legend that Genghis Khan died of "poisoning". Genghis Khan became more and more dissatisfied with Ogedei and wanted to change the too mine to store sweat. In order to protect his position as a sweat, Ogedai poisoned Genghis Khan to death while drinking with Genghis Khan.
