Literature/History of Martial Arts
From the spring of 1206, when Temujin was revered as "Genghis Khan" to the death of "Guiyu Khan" in 1248, in the past forty-two years, the footprints of the Mongol Empire have collapsed over most of the world and destroyed nearly forty countries. There is a question here, since the Mongol Empire already has the ability to conquer the world, why not conquer the whole world? What caused them to stop their continued expansion?
In the summer of 1277, Genghis Khan died of illness in the process of conquering Western Xia, and his third son Wo Kuotai succeeded him as Khan, known in history as "Wo Kuotai Khan". Wokoutai Khan was also an iron-fisted man who went south to destroy The Jin Dynasty and expeditions to Europe, and the mongol empire expanded in his hands to Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Wokoutai died in 1241 at the age of 56. But the cause of death is to drink and drink to death, which is really surprising.
It turns out that Wokoutai Khan has a hobby, that is, alcoholism. At a young age, he was known for his large amount of alcohol, and in his later years, he became more and more indulgent. According to historical records, in his later years, Wokoutai drank alcohol all night long. Zhongshu ordered Yelü Chucai to bring a tattered iron wine trough to the front of Wokoutai in order to get a drink from Wokoutai and said: "Even the iron vessels have been eroded out of the cracks by the wine, not to mention the human body", but Wokoutai ignored it and still went his own way.
In order to fulfill his father's last wish, Wokoutai assigned a general to lead an army to conquest, and he did not want to suffer from the conquest again. Hiding in the gentle countryside and constantly drinking heavily. Until the winter of 1241, after a heavy drink in Wokoutai, he suffered a stroke and died in the temple if he was not saved.
At the time of Wokoutai's death, the Mongol Empire was undergoing the second western expedition, when the Mongol army was invincible, Battu led his men had invaded Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries, although the European countries jointly formed a self-help team, but still defeated by the Mongol army, and directly killed the commander of the coalition army - Henry II, just when battus blood-stained the Danube River was preparing to take Hungary, the news of Wokoutai's death came, and Batu led the army back to prepare for the Khan's position.
However, the Khan's throne was eventually seized by Wokoutai's eldest son, Bo'er Onlyjin Guiyu, who was also the third Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, known in history as "Guiyu Khan". The 41-year-old Guiyu used a series of iron fists to get the chaotic Mongol Empire back on track. However, what kind of father there is, what kind of son there is. Kiyu did not learn the lesson of his father's drunken death, and still drank as much as his father, and it was in this way that Kiyu died suddenly after 2 years of inheriting the Khan's throne. Another great khan who drank and drank to death.
Some scholars have analyzed that long-term alcoholism, in which alcohol will be very damage to the brain, liver, stomach and intestines, etc., and now the human life expectancy has been much higher than in ancient times, and now at the age of 40, death has been counted as "early death", and these two sweats in the case of alcoholism, one 56 years old, one 43 years old. If they can get rid of their drinking habits, they will not have a big problem living to be 70-80 years old. Let's not talk about guiyu, just say Wokoutai, if you live to be 70 years old, the world may really be conquered by the Mongol Empire.
And the Mongol Empire drank and killed two great khans in a row, which may be the best of both worlds under the sincere prayers of Europeans, God came up with the best of both worlds, which could not only save Europeans from the flames of war, but also let the two great khans "drunkenly dream of death". What do you think about this?
