What is the real cause of Mungo's death? How on earth did he die?

Mengge is the third Mongolian Khan after Genghis Khan. After Genghis Khan died, he was inherited by his son Wokuotai. After Wokuotai's death, the queen was regent for a period of time. Gui You was recommended as Khan by the Ringer Conference, but he died only three years after he succeeded to the throne, so Wokuotai and Tuo Lei's grandchildren competed for the position of Khan, and finally elected Meng Ge, the son of Tuo Lei, to inherit the position of Khan.

After Mongo ascended the throne, he continued his crusade. He was stationed in Gansu and decided to send four armies to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan to attack Wuchang, Tuohe to attack Anhui, Wuliangcha to cross Guangdong from Yunnan and invade Sichuan with his own head. 1258+00 captured Longzhou across Jialing River, 12 captured Yazhou, 65438+. Meng Jun attacked for five months in a row. In July, Meng Jun retreated from Fishing Town and went to Wentangxia in August. August 1 1, Brother Meng died.

Meng's strategy of attacking the Song Dynasty.

Meng reigned for 9 years and died on the way to conquest. So far, there is no clear conclusion in the field of historiography. Generally speaking, there are two kinds, one is to die in battle and the other is to die of illness. Mongolian historical materials support death, while the records of Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty tend to die. There are several ways to say death first, including in Liu Kezhuang's poem "Shu Jie" in the Southern Song Dynasty? Under the strong crossbow? Sentence, saying that he was shot dead by an arrow, and now there is Mongo in the fishing city site? Died of being shot by an arrow Stone carving; The other is "History of Rivers and States", which records that Mungo was hit by a flying stone during the siege and died of serious injuries.

Closing the door from the beginning is the first line of defense of fishing city.

According to Yuan Shi, Mungo was already ill when he captured Ya Zhou. At this time, his subordinates advised him to go back to Mongolia, but he refused, and finally collapsed in the fishing mountain. However, the Mongolian Historical Records of La and Bi Yuan's Xu Zi Tong Zhi Jian clearly pointed out that Mungo died of dysentery, because the fishing city could not be attacked for a long time, and the weather was hot until midsummer. Mongo also fell ill and died in June. No matter how Mungo died, it is an indisputable fact that Mungo announced his withdrawal before his death and finally died in the military camp.
