History is the propaganda of the victors. - Toynbee
The rise and fall of a dynasty is naturally very common in history, but the change of dynasties, no matter which new dynasty is established, will exist Chinese civilization as orthodox, but once in history, it almost became a great change. In the Central Plains 700 years ago, the Yuan Dynasty was established by the Mongols, and it was also the first unified dynasty established by ethnic minorities in history, but it was an incident in this dynasty that made the Central Plains only one step away from Islamization.
Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, had a grandson named Ananda, the ananda king of Anxi in the history of the Yuan Dynasty. As soon as Ananda was born, he was sent to a Turkestan Muslim family named Krister and grew up under the influence of Islamic teachings. As a result, Ananda grew up to be a faithful believer in Islam, and Ananda's large food texts were very well written and he was able to read the entire Quran. In 1280, Ananda was enfeoffed as the King of Anxi, ruled over the tang and Wu lands (present-day Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi, and parts of Xinjiang), and forced all his troops and civilians in the territory to convert to Islam, establishing an Islamic army of 150,000 people on the land of China. Ananda also set up a religious court in the fiefdom to oppose the laws of the Yuan Dynasty, as if it meant splitting the land and establishing a state, which made the Yuan Dynasty Emperor Yuan Cheng emperor at the time very dissatisfied. Yuan Chengzong was a firm believer in Buddhism, believing that Ananda had betrayed the "way of the ancestors", arrested him and forced him to convert to Buddhism. Ananda and Yuan Chengzong engaged in a heated debate about faith, and Yuan Chengzong understood its strength, and used tough tactics against him for fear of provoking changes, and finally let him go.
When Emperor Yuanchengzong died of illness in the eleventh year of Dade (1307), Ananda led his army of 150,000 Muslims to prepare for the throne, intending to establish an Islamic khanate in the Central Plains. At this time, the throne was vacant, and Empress Buluhan was the regent, and she and Zuo Xiang Akutai, as well as the Semitic officials who believed in Islam in the DPRK, prepared to support Yuan Chengzong's cousin, an Islamist Ananda, the anxi king who believed in Islam, as emperor. Three days before Yuan Chengzong's death, Brauhan secretly summoned Ananda in a vain attempt to use Ananda's strength to seek self-interest for himself, and Ananda wanted to seize the throne and establish the Islamic Khanate as Kublai Khan's grandson, and there was a crisis in the Central Plains where Chinese civilization was replaced by Islamic civilization for the first time in history, and Ananda also became the only Muslim in Chinese history who hoped to compete for the throne.
However, the right minister, Ha LaHa Sun, wanted to establish the Buddhist Bo'er Jin Haishan as emperor, and did not want to submit to the Islamist Ananda and Semu people, so Ha Lai Ha Sun hurriedly sent the north to welcome Haishan in the north of the desert, and informed Haishan to quickly lead the Han and Mongolian armies (mainly Han Chinese) back to Dadu to succeed to the throne. At this time, Of course, Ananda would not sit still, preparing to lead the Muslim army to a bloody massacre with Empress Brauhan in Dadu, and wipe out Hazarhasun and his courtiers. However, Haishan's younger brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada led the Mongol and Han armies to dadu first, and Ha Lahasun, Ai Yu Li Bali Bada and all the Han courtiers worked together to imprison Empress Buluhan and Ananda the King of Anxi, killed Zuo Xiang Ah Kutai and many Semu officials, and then welcomed Haishan to the throne, for Emperor Yuanwuzong, and soon Emperor Yuanwuzong killed Empress Buluhan and Ananda the King of Anxi.
It is conceivable that once the Islamist Ananda is the emperor's throne, it will not only be a simple change of throne, but also different from the ordinary dynastic change, because it will completely change China, so this incident is also known as the "ananda risk", almost completely Islamizing the Central Plains. The right hand man, Hajjhasan, played a key role in this game with Muslims, and it can be said that without this person, history would be rewritten. Of course, history cannot be assumed, but in this confrontation with the Muslims, the armies of the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups were surprisingly united, and together they guarded the gate of Chinese civilization.
