There are about five causes of Genghis Khan's death, most of them related to Western Xia.
"Horse-falling theory"
The most orthodox and well-known of these is the "horse-falling theory" adopted by the Yuan History. In the Mongols' edition of the History of Yuan, it is recorded that "in the winter of Chengzhu, he wished to conquer the country. From the New Charger at the Whole Point to the Fall of the Dog, I went to Levi Tang Dance, and my wife went with me. In the winter, Jade went hunting on a red sand horse. He was surprised by this wild horse, but Ching fell off his horse and fell, so he ran for the camp ground. The next day, Mrs. Noho said to the king and the other officials, "The emperor is hot tonight, so you can discuss it." "Tang Dance" is the Mongolian name for the Western Xia people. The "Year of the Dog" was the second year of Emperor Baoqing of the Song Dynasty. This is a historical fact. Genghis Khan conquered Western Xia with his wife in the fall of 1226. In winter, I hunted in a place called Al Erhu. He didn't want to ride a red sand horse, but he startled a wild horse, causing the unguarded Genghis Khan to fall off his horse and get hurt. That night he had a high fever.227 July "unprepared", the root of the disease. Why was the fall so serious? It is said that there was too much bleeding.
At that time, I also looked for generals who followed me to discuss this matter how to do. Some people suggested that anyway, the city of Western Xia are in, a moment and a half can not escape, I simply go back to recuperate, ready to come back to attack. Genghis Khan life to be strong, thought this way back will let the Western Xia people laugh. It is also his turn to lose his soul in Western Xia. When Genghis Khan sent his staff to the Western Xia to find out what was going on, a minister named Asha did not dare to scoff at this. If you have the ability to come and try. When Genghis Khan heard about it, he said he would rather die than withdraw, so he pushed into the Helan Mountains and galvanized Asha not to die. However, since then, Genghis Khan's wound did not heal, but rather aggravated. He died on the 12th day of the 7th lunar month in 1227 at the age of 67. If Genghis Khan had gone back at that time, the root of his illness would not have been left behind.
"Lightning Strike Theory"
This theory is more bizarre. John Plano Gabbiani, the Vatican envoy to Mongolia, revealed in his article that Genghis Khan may have been struck by lightning. When John Plano Gabbini arrived in Mongolia at the time, he found that lightning injuries were frequent in the summer." There were violent lightning strikes and flashes that killed many people there..." Because of this, the Mongols feared lightning. The Southern Song Dynasty's Peng Daya book, "The _History of the Yuan Dynasty_," records that "whenever the Tartars heard thunder, they would cover their ears and stoop to the ground, if they took shelter." John Plano Gabini, a Portuguese, was sent to China, A.D. 1245-1247, by Pope Northam IV. When he returned, he presented the Pope with a report entitled "A Brief Account of the Affairs of the Black Tartar". John Planogabini came only 18 years before Genghis Khan's death, 30 years before Cairboro, and his account is not an empty one.
"Poisoning Theory"
This statement is from The History of the Mongols We Call Tartars. Cairporo was a 13th century Italian merchant who came to China in 1275. It was during the reign of Yuan Shizu Kublai, and there were 17 years of interaction with the Yuan dynasty. The cause of Genghis Khan's death as recorded in the travelogue: attacking Western Xia and besieging Jintai, his knee was unfortunately struck by a poisoned arrow shot by a Western Xia soldier. The result was predictable, the poisoned arrow attacked the heart, the injury intensified, the patient could not eat. But another folklore that Genghis Khan died of "poisoning", but not the Western Xia soldiers of poisoned arrows, but the captured Western Xia Princess Gulbule Jin Guo Wo
This argument and the aforementioned Western Xia captured Gulbule Jin Guo Wo Hatun Princess has a relationship with another version of the poisoning argument. Mongolian folklore says that during the attack of Genghis Khan's army on Western Xia, the soldiers captured the beautiful Princess Vohatun of the Gulbulgin Kingdom of Western Xia and offered her to Genghis Khan. On the first night with her wife, the Western Xia princess stabbed Genghis Khan, who had let his guard down. Stabbed said to have originated in the Qing Dynasty Kangxi first year "Marco Polo Travels". The book was so valuable that 100 years later, in 1766, Prince Chengchou Zabu of the Mongolian Khalkha tribe presented a manuscript of the book as a gift to Emperor Gan Long. Longren translated it into Manchu and Chinese, and the title of the book, "The Source of Mongolia", was included in "Drinking and Settling the Source of Mongolia". It should be said that the credibility of Genghis Khan's assassination is high.
"The theory of being bitten off the genitals"
This statement, the official history can not be seen, the wild history is not recorded, but only among the Mongols circulated. This affair is also the Western Xia Princess Gulbule Jin Guo Wohatun caused by the "murderer" is of course the beauty. It is said that the princess offered to Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan asked her to be his concubine, the princess on the surface agreed. However, the princess is not willing to be humiliated, has a family feud and hatred of the combination, that night with her. When she made love, Genghis Khan was so giddy that he bit off his penis and she immediately bled out. A 67 year old man who had been fighting abroad for many years had never encountered such a thing and could never withstand such a torment. He was so ashamed and angry that he became seriously ill. Because it was an unspeakable scandal that happened to the emperor, he hid it from the public and said that the sweating was a serious illness from falling off the horse. Not wanting to live, Princess Xixia knew that Genghis Khan would not let her go and committed suicide by jumping from the Yellow River.
This is ridiculous, but it still makes sense when analyzed in detail. If Genghis Khan really died at the hands of the Xixia Princess, then there are no specific conditions for stabbing or poisoning. When accompanying his wife, he was naked. Where could he have hidden the weapon and poison? Even if there were weapons and poisons, those who were captured would have to be searched. In this case, the deadliest violence of the empty-handed princess is naturally "bite" - a man.
This legend is the ultimate in ancient Chinese imperial romance! Indeed it is. And a kind of retribution. -A romantic man dies in love.
During their decades of traveling west, Genghis Khan and his men snatched women wherever they went and went around with a pair of genitals and countless descendants. They have been jokingly referred to by historians as the "sowers of seed". It is estimated that 16 million people in the world are related to Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan's love of women is probably a kind of "inheritance". At the time, the Mongols were in the habit of robbing women as a form of property. Genghis Khan's mother, and even his father, robbed Atul, which is considered to be a hooliganism today. Once, to the time in the Vonan river eagle, all the beggars beggars with beautiful wives passed by. At this time to see the young woman so beautiful, suddenly moved, immediately stopped the carriage of Yekchiridu to rob people. See the situation is not right, would like to fight back guests of the red column left his wife and ran away. This young woman is Genghis Khan's mother, Hahoelein Xuanyitai.
Genghis Khan's wife, Marco Polopost, was snatched by her mother's ex-husband's tribe and later snatched back. The marriage of Genghis Khan and Marco Polo was interesting. According to Mongolian customs at the time, it was time to take the nine-year-old Genghis Khan to his mother's tribe "Suo female" there, that is, to his son to ask for a wife. On the way, he met De Xuechen, the father of Marco Polo. After hearing this, we come back to Genghis Khan, who was a beautiful young man. De Xuechan tells Suye that her family has a 10-year-old daughter who wants to be a relative. Please also go and see if she likes it.
When you see De Xuechan, you should be filled with love. After a night, the next day, De Xuechan wanted to stay Genghis Khan as a son-in-law, quickly agreed, and from the accompanying horses to choose the best one as a gift. Before leaving the message was "my son is afraid of dogs, so do not dare to teach dogs. "Galloping the sands of a generation of heroes, young afraid of dogs, which I'm afraid many people would not expect. On the way to leave his son, he was poisoned by the enemy and the Tatas.
Genghis Khan's name was Temujin, also known as Temujin and Tewuzhen. This name was originally the name of an opponent in war, the _History of the Yuan Dynasty_. According to the record, "when fighting with the Tartars, it is also the time to take Atu to the captives, such as sticking his wood in the real upright place, not spent in the clear place. At this time, it is also the time to take Atu's wife, Hahoe Lun, pregnant, to the South River, a place where it is difficult to meet. Mao was born with a piece of blood like a moustache in his right hand and gave birth. Because the captive Temu Zhenzhen was born when he came, he took the name Temu Zhenzhen." It is said that "Tebujin" is said to be a nickname without a last name or a first name at the beginning.
This record of 755 to 79,000 years has become an important historical material for later scholars to study the history of Yuan. When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, his room was red like a fire, and Temujin was born with a devilish look. He actually held a blood clot in his hand and lost blood like a red stone. Because Temujin was born with blood, superstition believed that it would bring about the end of mankind in the future. Genghis Khan, in the process of retrieving his wife's Marco Polo post, massacred more than 300 people from the Yekchiridu tribe. 183, at the age of 22, Temujin was elected "Khan", relying on the years of war and rule by iron blood, catching rivals to kill.
Tiemuzhen killed countless people in his life. For every piece of vegetable he cut, he frantically chopped off his own head. In the ensuing wars, killing cities was his usual means of conquest. Once, Genghis Khan led an army of 200,000 men to conquer the Central Asian Muslim state of Khorezm, and killed 1.2 million people at once when he struck down Yulong Chijie on the Aral Sea. With that, many Western and Central Asian countries let him out.
But Genghis Khan didn't escape himself when he brought bloodshed to mankind. Although how he died is a historical mystery that may never be solved, both the official story of his death from blood loss after falling off a horse and the folk story of his death from blood loss after having his teeth bitten off by a Xixia princess are stained with "blood". Is there a cause and effect with the blood clots that were cupped in his hands at birth?
