Article Debut Challenge There have been many theories about the death of Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao. Often for the death of the emperor, there will be a detailed record in the official history, and only the reason for the secrecy will lead to ambiguity.

In the "History of the Yuan" revised by Song Lian, a great Confucian in the Ming Dynasty, there are only two short sentences of record of this former emperor, "In the afternoon of autumn and July, there is no hesitation." He was ugly and collapsed in the palace of the old disciples of Sarichuanha. "There was no cause of death, because even the Mongolian royal court did not announce the cause of death.

Let's go back to 1226 AD, when Genghis Khan's sixth expedition to Western Xia was made. In the leap month of the following year, in May, after a long period of scorched earth warfare against Western Xia, the party members were left with only the only stronghold of the national capital, Zhongxingfu. So Genghis Khan stationed in Liupan Mountain, preparing to solve the Western Xia problem in a battle at the forefront.

The king of Western Xia was frightened and had to send his concubine Gulboljin Guo Huhatun to negotiate surrender. If you follow the general thinking, the Western Xia will descend when it falls. But the king of Western Xia obviously underestimated the bloody nature of his woman. Unlike the Jingkang Change, when the imperial concubine of the Northern Song Dynasty was ravaged, when Genghis Khan let the princess sleep, the princess had nothing more than to endure the humiliation of the national enemy and family hatred according to a generation of Tianjiao, and as a result, Genghis Khan suddenly bled and died in grief and anger.

Obviously, this kind of nest death is not suitable for a great figure in history. There will be many people who will question it, but how this claim came from is recorded in a historical work written by the Mongols' own historian, the Qing Dynasty Sanang Chechen, "The Origin of Mongolia".

Together with "The Secret History of Mongolia" and "The History of Mongolia", this book is known as the three major historical works of the Mongolian nation. A descendant of Ordos Jinongun Bilik Morgen, Sanang Chechen spent his life rebelling against the Later Jin's policy of dividing and disintegrating the Mongols, striving to promote traditional national culture, awaken national consciousness and inspire national pride among his compatriots. Therefore, the Mongolian source did not shy away from Genghis Khan's death, and there is great credibility.

Genghis Khan once said that the greatest pleasure of a man is to subdue the rebels, to defeat the enemy, to seize everything he has, to ride his horse, and to take his beautiful wives and concubines. Maybe his own death is also due to reincarnation. In order to deal with the Western Xia, Genghis Khan left a will: for the time being, he will not mourn, "destroy everything, destroy it, and die it". After the king of Xixia opened the door, all 700,000 people in the city were executed, the Xixia state was destroyed, and the party and the nation disappeared from history. What remains in the world today is the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty near Yinchuan.
