Chapter 224
lastic bag, as if it had just been discarded."They're going to behead us!""Definitely!"Seeing that row of camel tracks, I felt a surge of excitement. This is most likely left by our caravan. Besides u...When Emperor Renzong heard this, he was furious. He said, "What are you You dare to sit equal with me" Emperor Renzong said, "Just wait, I'll send someone to beat you up."
Song Renzong sent troops northwest three times, fighting in three consecutive battles: the Sanchuankou battle, the HaoshuiKou battle, and the Watingzhai battle. Unfortunately, Renzong did not win any of them.
Seeing himself victorious, Yuan Hao sent a letter saying: "Xiao Song, I know you're losing face. My grandfather once served under your grandfather. Out of respect for this past connection, I won't make things difficult for you. Just acknowledge that my Western Xia kingdom exists and that I am the Emperor of Western Xia, and I will pay tribute to you every year. As for Liao and Jin, you can declare to the outside world that Western Xia is a vassal state of your Great Song."
“
When Emperor Renzong saw Yuan Hao's letter, he was furious and vomited blood. Helpless, he could only agree.
From this point forward, the Western Xia Kingdom was founded.
This is the founding story of Xi Xia.
Let's talk about the story of the fall of the Western Xia dynasty.
The Xi Xia were mostly Dangxiang people. Today, the Dangxiang people no longer exist. The Mongols hated the Dangxiang people, and the root cause of the Dangxiang people's extinction was due to a secret order from Genghis Khan. Why did the Mongols hate the Dangxiang people so much It is highly likely that it was because Genghis Khan's death was related to the Xi Xia people.
That was the Mongols' sixth attack on Xixia. Before departing, Genghis Khan was in good health. He could eat a jin of mutton and drink half a jin of strong liquor in one meal.
However, soon after the battle began, Genghis Khan died at Mount Liu Pan.
There are many theories about his death, one of which is highly plausible.
It is said that during that time, Xixia sent a beautiful woman from the Han Chinese people as a gift. This woman had an amazing figure.
Genghis Khan was enchanted.
That night, just as he was about to begin, the Xi Xia beauty pulled out a pair of scissors.
Scissors cut through, splitting it in two.
This lord fell into a coma for several days due to excessive blood loss. In that era, there were no antibiotics, and it was summer, so the wound naturally became infected.
On his deathbed, he said: "After my death, do not hold a funeral for me so that Tangut (Tanguts) will not know I am dead. When their king comes out to surrender, you must destroy their clan, slaughter their city, burn their houses, and ruin their civilization. My son…" His words were cut short, and the once mighty Genghis Khan passed away.
This secret edict came from the depths of the Six Pan Mountain Palace. A few hours later, all the Mongol generals received Genghis Khan's secret order.
At this time, the Mongol army of 200,000 had besieged Zhongxing Mansion for several months. If not for fear of the Xixia's Tie Hai Zi army, the Mongols would have captured the city long ago.
The last emperor of Xixia was Li Xian. Actually, this guy wasn't bad. He was just pushed onto the throne by his uncle, Qingping County King, at a time when the country was about to collapse. Li Xian, young and vigorous, initially started with great energy, vowing to fight the Mongol army to the death. The Mongol generals didn't take this defeated emperor seriously at all. Both sides would insult each other across the city walls every few days.
The Mongols said: "Young people, don't be too arrogant. Surrender quickly and open the gate."
">
Li Xian retorted: "Isn't being arrogant called young people You have the guts to come to the city!"
Both sides had been fighting for over two months. Later, there was no food left in the Zhongxing Prefecture. Hundreds of thousands of Xixia civilians were starving. Every day, people died of hunger. Li Xian also lost his arrogance from a few months ago. He distributed all the remaining grain in the palace to the people and, after washing his face, decided to surrender by leaving the city.
The Mongolian battle cry was, "As long as you come out of the city to surrender, we will not kill you."
As a result, Li Xian was beheaded as soon as he came out. Subsequently, 200,000 Mongol soldiers rushed into Zhongxing Prefecture, burning, killing civilians, and insulting women. Within seven days, over 400,000 people were killed, and the Dangxiang people were exterminated.
For the Mongols, those seven days were painful.
For the Mongols, those seven days were happy.
Thousands upon thousands of white bones lay in the pit, leading him to speculate that these might also be victims of the war that destroyed their nation.
As for who used the statue of Guanyin as a well cover to seal this well, ...
It could be a monk from the Qing Dynasty, or a Taoist priest from the Ming Dynasty.
This is something no one can say for sure anymore.al days in the Hute tribe, we experienced their unique tribal customs. On the last day of each month, the Hute tribe held a fire ceremony.The fire sacrifice was held in a wide open desert area. The Kh...
