What was the cause of death of Genghis Khan?
Mausoleum of Genghis Khan
When my mother died, she was suspected of being unfilial, so she was particularly afraid of lightning. 1in the summer of 227, Genghis Khan strayed into a minefield and was struck by lightning. 2. Stabbed. According to the information collected by Russian explorers, Genghis Khan captured a Xixia queen when he was fighting in Xixia. When he was partial to her, the queens cut off his "part" in order to avenge her husband, and then threw themselves into the river. Cheng also died of serious injuries. However, according to historical records, the time and place of these two statements are obviously wrong. When Genghis Khan died, Mongolia was still hiding the news of his death, and Xixia was not extinct. According to the history, Genghis Khan was poisoned by an arrow in his knee when he cut Xixia at the beginning of 1227, and eventually died. The famous Italian traveler Kyle Poirot thinks that Genghis Khan died of an arrow wound in his posthumous work. According to Wu Sheng's Personal Prose, Genghis Khan was injured by an arrow three times: 1202,12,12, and 1226 when he attacked Xixia. It is estimated that the last arrow wound had a great influence on his health. Chinese and foreign books, such as Biography of World Invaders, Historical Records, Translation of Yuan History, and Translation of Compendium, all say that Khan died on the 8th. During the summer vacation, he also retained Xue, the eldest son of Yeluge, the king of Liao, "let him see the attack and pull of the capital of Xixia." He fought continuously, and he was able to break a city belonging to Xixia every month. He also invited the prince of Liao State to watch the destruction of Xixia capital, which proved that Genghis Khan was full of confidence in the victory behind him and the upcoming victory, and was in good health. After 8 days of death, an arrow wound can make this strong man die suddenly. Genghis Khan died under the poisonous arrow shot by the Xixia army's crossbow, and the poisonous arrow wounded Genghis Khan's knee. Coupled with the death of his eldest son, Shu Chi, the hardships of mobile operations, the hot weather and other factors, Genghis Khan, who was injured by a falling horse in Aerzhai, Inner Mongolia a month ago, died only eight days later. On the eve of the demise of Xixia, Genghis Khan's life also came to an end. He died of typhoid fever in the army, and before he died, he put forward the strategy of destroying gold in the Song Dynasty. In the same year, Xixia was completely destroyed. One of the most orthodox is also known to more people, that is, the "falling horse theory" adopted by Yuan history. The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty compiled by Mongols (Volume 14) records that "living in winter, I want to levy. From enlisting in the new military academy to the autumn of the Year of the Dog, I went to enlist Tang Wu, and so did my wife. In winter, her doesn't hunt on the ground. Cheng rode a red sand horse and was stunned by this wild horse. Cheng fell off his horse and got hurt, so he went to the ground of the camp. The next day, Mrs. Nosui said to the king and all the officials, "The emperor has a fever tonight. You can discuss it." . "Tang Wu" was the name of the Mongols to Xixia people in those days; The Year of the Dog is the second year of Baoqing, Song Lizong (A.D. 1226). This is a historical fact. Genghis Khan and his wife conquered Xixia in the autumn of 1226. In winter, I hunt in a place called Alhui. I didn't want to ride a red sand horse and was surprised by a wild horse. Unsuspecting Genghis Khan fell off his horse and was injured. He started a high fever that night. June 1227 "Don't worry", the root of the disease is here. Why did you get hurt like this when you fell off a horse? It is said that there is too much bleeding. At that time, I also asked the generals who followed me to discuss what to do about it. It has been suggested that Xixia City is here anyway, and I can't escape for a while. I'll just go back to rest and attack when I'm ready. Genghis Khan was strong all his life, thinking that going back like this would make Xixia people laugh. It's time for him to break the Xixia kingdom. When Genghis Khan sent people to Xixia to inquire about the situation, it happened that Asha, the minister of Xixia, sneered at it. If you dare, deal with it. When Genghis Khan heard about it, he said that he would rather die than withdraw, so he advanced into Helan Mountain and killed Asha. However, since then, Genghis Khan's injury has not improved, but has worsened. He died at the age of 67 on the lunar calendar1July 227 12 (now August 25th in Gregorian calendar). If Genghis Khan had gone back then, the root of the disease would not have fallen. The term "lightning strike" is rather bizarre. John Pranno Gabini, the special envoy of the Holy See to Mongolia, revealed in his article that Genghis Khan may have been killed by lightning. When John Plano Gabini arrived in Mongolia at that time, he found that lightning strikes often occurred in summer. "There were violent lightning strikes and lightning, which caused many deaths." Because of this, Mongolians were very afraid of lightning. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Peng Daya's "Black Tatar" recorded that "every time a Tatar smells thunder, if he avoids it, he will cover his ears and bow down to the ground." John Plano Gabini, a Portuguese, was sent to China in A.D. 1245- 1247, and was sent by Pope Northam IV. After returning to China, he submitted a report to the Pope entitled "The History of Mongols whom we call Tatars". John Plano Gabini came to Genghis Khan's death 18 years ago, and Bikel Poirot came 30 years earlier. The narrative is not groundless. "Poisoning theory" comes from The Travels of Marco Polo. /kloc-Italian merchants in the 3rd century arrived in China on 1275. At that time, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan was in office for 17 years. In his travel notes, he described the cause of Genghis Khan's death: when attacking Xixia and besieging Jintai (the ancient fortress of Jizhou), Xixia soldiers were poisoned by an arrow in their knees, and their injuries were aggravated and they could not afford to get sick. However, there is another folk legend that Genghis Khan died of "poisoning", but he was not poisoned by Xixia soldiers, but was poisoned by the captured Xixia princess Gulbole Jinguo Wohatun. The theory of "being stabbed" is related to the captured princess Xixia mentioned above, which is another version of the theory of poisoning. According to Mongolian folklore, in the process of Genghis Khan's army attacking Xixia, the soldiers captured the beautiful Xixia princess Goulpeau Lejin Guowohatun and presented it to Genghis Khan. On the first night, Princess Xixia stabbed Genghis Khan, who let her guard down. The theory of being stabbed originated from The Origin of Mongolia and was written in the first year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1662). This book is very precious. 100 years later, that is, 1766, the Mongolian prince of Kharka, Mongolia presented this manuscript as a gift to Qianlong. Gan Long was translated into Manchu and Chinese, and the title of The Origin of King Qin and Meng was included in Sikuquanshu. It should be said that the theory of Genghis Khan's assassination is highly credible. Edit the burial place of this paragraph 1227 66-year-old Genghis Khan died in Liupanshan. He was buried in Mount Kent in present-day Mongolia. Mongols are popular with "dense burial", so where the real Genghis Khan mausoleum is has always been a mystery. Today's Genghis Khan Mausoleum is a monument. After many migrations, it was not until 1954 that he moved back to his hometown in Ejinhoro Banner from Ta 'er Temple in Huangzhong County. Mausoleum is located in the middle of Ordos Grassland in Inner Mongolia, Gandeli Grassland in Ejinhoro Banner, Ordos City, 0/85km away from Baotou City. Between the blue sky and the green grass, three yurt-style halls are awe-inspiring Bright yellow walls, vermilion doors and windows, and dazzling golden glass domes make this mausoleum look particularly solemn. The cemetery covers an area of over 50,000 square meters. The main building consists of three Mongolian-style halls and corridors connected with them. The cemetery is divided into six parts: main hall, sleeping hall, east hall, west hall, east corridor and west corridor. The shape of the whole cemetery is like an eagle spreading its wings, with a strong Mongolian artistic style.
