Throughout the long history of our country, there have been many allusions to assassination operations, such as Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, Nie Zheng's assassination of Han Puppet, and so on.
Of course, in addition to the countless assassins, there are also some powerful alliances behind them. For example, one of the most famous organizations, 700 years ago, was particularly rampant in Europe, but I did not expect that the final outcome of this powerful assassination organization was very tragic, and it was even wiped out by the Mongol army.
This famous assassination organization exists in the Middle East, they specialize in assassinating political leaders of various countries, and they are all pervasive to important departments or caravans of various countries, as long as this assassination organization is mentioned, all countries are afraid of it. When Assasin was first founded, they were just a branch of the Shia tribe of Islam, and they were founded with the intention of spreading the teachings.
Over time, the organization grew larger and larger, from initially spreading doctrine to later specializing in attacking political dignitaries, and participating in assassinations, and as the members of the organization grew, Assasin gradually developed a belligerent style and became a demon of the upper elites of the European dynasties.
Assasin's last lair was based in the Alamut fortress in western Iran, which was very steep and difficult to attack and defend. Outsiders call Assasin's lair "Eagle's Nest." Taking advantage of the geographical fortress, Assasin constantly repelled the enemy to save himself.
But this could not solve the problem fundamentally, because there were more and more enemies who wanted to take revenge on themselves, and they could not all be eliminated, so Assasin began to continuously develop and strengthen his own strength from young believers, and cultivated a group of assassination elites. Most assassinations will be in broad daylight, because only in this way can the high-level politicians of other countries be deterred
In that year, Assasin assassinated two important figures of the Crusaders and achieved brilliant assassination results. After the invasion of the Crusaders, Assasin's strength and fame became louder and louder, and their base nest continued to expand. Many neighboring countries dare not easily provoke them, and the consequences of being provoked once they are provoked are unimaginable.
In the more than 100 years of Assasin's existence, the entire Middle East was shrouded in an atmosphere of terrorist attacks, and many high-ranking nobles did not dare to go out easily, and some even hid in hierarchical secret rooms and lived in fear.
The Mongols completely eliminated Assasin's rampant arrogance and swept them all away
We all know that the Mongols are best at bravery and good at war, so in the face of powerful assassination organizations, the Mongol army did not back down, and they would not let Assasin become their ruler at all. In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongol Empire developed and rose, and the Mongols carried out three western expeditions, of which 2 were rubbed shoulders with Assasin.
The sudden rise of the Mongol army stunned the entire high-ranking people of the various dynasties in Eurasia, and the Mongol army did not pay attention to the crazy assassination of the barbaric Assasin, and they were not afraid of them, and even they felt that they could easily take Assasin together.
The Mongol army has always adhered to the principle of "no one offends me, I will not take prisoners, if people offend me, I will take prisoners", when a Mongolian caravan entered Assasin's territory, it did not expect to be suddenly attacked by Assasin. In order to prove to the world that he was powerful and able to take down the Mongol Empire in one fell swoop, Assasin sent more than a hundred people to assassinate the Mongol Khan Möngke.
However, Assasin ignored that the Mongols had a very strong sense of defense, which made Assasin incapable of taking advantage of it, and did not expect that their assassination action actually attracted the revenge of Hulegu, the younger brother of Möngke Khan, that is, the descendants of Genghis Khan, leading the Mongol army to directly conquer the Abbasid Dynasty, under the brave Mongol iron hoof, even if the Assasin organization was huge, they were useless, and finally completely flattened by the Mongol army.
