What is the character of Meng Ge killed by Yang Guo in The Condor Heroes?

As the grandson of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan's brother, Mongo's historical popularity is far less than that of his grandfather and brother. Many people know Meng Ge even because of Jin Yong's novels. In the 39th episode of The Condor Heroes, Yang Guo single-handedly broke into the Meng Jun camp, killed Khan Mengge, and then cleared Xiangyang.

Yang Guo ducked his head and flew to grab it. His left hand had already picked up a stone the size of a fist and threw it with a shout, right in the middle of Mungo's back. Yang Guo's throwing strength was so strong that Mungo broke his bones, was knocked down and died. ?

What kind of leader is the real Mongo in history? What is the real cause of his death? Some people say that his death directly changed the direction of world history. Is it really so exaggerated?

A restrained leader

Before Mongo ascended the throne, the whole Mongolian empire was in a state of disintegration and fragmentation. Therefore, after Mengge reached the summit, one of the biggest tasks was to end this chaotic situation and knead the Mongolian empire into a whole again.

As soon as he came to power, he eradicated the unstable factors one by one, re-appointed officials, withdrew all the cards, letters, imperial edicts and orders issued by the court and governors at will, re-promulgated laws and strictly enforced the law and discipline; He used for reference and improved the system of ministers' provinces formulated by the Jin Dynasty, and further strengthened the rule over the conquered areas. In the second year of his accession to the throne, he ordered a census, severely dealt with forcing people to sell their nobles without authorization, registered all accounts, and served as a policeman and paid taxes. After this census, the number of families in China has increased by more than 200,000 compared with that in Yuan Taizong. This not only increased the population, but also increased the fiscal revenue.

Outside the court, Mungo is an introverted person. Yuan Shi's evaluation of him is that he is strong and wise, brave and resolute, calm and decisive, and he doesn't talk much. He doesn't like feasting and extravagance, and even the queen and princess are not allowed to enjoy the system beyond the regulations. This is extremely rare for an emperor.

Uighurs come to offer treasures such as birdbaths and pearl umbrellas, with a silver ticket worth more than 30,000 ingots. Brother Meng said:? Now, the people who need money most are the people. Why give me a person? ? So I returned it.

He is not only frugal, but also strict with his officials and family.

C.C. Travel by car, only three horse-drawn carts are allowed, and no more than four can travel far. Governors are not allowed to recruit people without authorization; Subordinate officials are not allowed to search for people's fat and paste in the name of pilgrimage. During the hunting, Prince Azudai rode on people's crops. When Mongo Khan knew about it, he first scolded him and whipped several followers. If any soldier pulls out the onions of ordinary people, he will be beheaded immediately according to law.

An ambitious military strategist.

In terms of fame, Mongo is indeed far behind his grandfather Genghis Khan and his brother Kublai Khan. However, in the record of expanding territory, Mongo is not weaker than them.

Before reaching the summit, Mungo followed his father, Tuo Lei, to the south and to the north, and experienced three consecutive battles and two expeditions to the west. Especially in the process of the second Western Expedition, Mongo and General Subutai, as pioneers, made outstanding contributions repeatedly.

After the Mongols ascended the Khan's throne, they called all the nobles and officials to hold the Huli Le Tai, and decided two new conquest directions: Southern Song Dynasty and Western Asia. In addition to sending his two brothers Xu Liewu and Kublai Khan to the west, he personally led the troops into Sichuan from the middle road, and occupied more than half of Sichuan in just three months. Brother Meng, who had hoped to write a legend, did not expect to leave the end of his life here.

Expose Mungo's death

In Jin Yong's novel The Condor Heroes, Meng Ge was stoned to death by the condor heroes Yang Guo in Xiangyang War? Yang Guo bowed his head and evaded, flew to grab it, already carrying a fist-sized stone in his hand, and threw it with a shout, right in the middle of Mungo's back. Yang Guo's throwing strength was so strong that Mungo broke his bones, was knocked down and died. (The Condor Heroes)?

How true and fabricated is Mr. Jin Yong's description of this paragraph?

From the big background, Mongo really died in this period, and he really died in the war of attacking the Song Dynasty. Moreover, according to historical records, Meng Ge was indeed hit by a cannon stone before his death, but that was under Chongqing Fishing City, not Xiangyang City. The man who beat him was certainly not Yang Guo, but who he was is not recorded in the history books. As for whether Meng Ge died because of a stone, there are also different opinions in historical materials. Some people say that he was seriously injured, others say that he died of illness. But there is no doubt that Mongo did fall in the battle against Fishing City.

What happened in this battle that decided Mongo's life and death?

1259, Mongolian soldiers divided into three roads and launched a war to destroy the Song Dynasty: the East Route Army under Kublai Khan set out from Henan and took Xiangyang and Ezhou south; Uriyangqatai's army attacked Changsha from Yunnan via Guizhou; On the other hand, under Meng Ge's personal command, the marked army entered Sichuan from Shaanxi, captured Chongqing, got through Kuimen, and then went down the river.

Meng Ge's main attack on Sichuan was the main money and grain supply place in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also an important military barrier to protect the left side of the Yangtze River. Its strategic position can be imagined. Yu Jie, a famous Southern Song Dynasty star who was in charge of Sichuan's defense work before, invited the Ranshi brothers, a folk expert, to help him establish a complete mountain city defense system, and took more than a dozen castles built on the mountain, such as Fishing City and Qingju City, as the ruling places of the state capital.

Mungo has 65,438+10,000 mark troops, but there are less than 20,000 garrison troops in the Southern Song Dynasty, including less than 5,000 regular troops. Faced with the menacing Mongolian army, many mountain cities surrendered without fighting. Mengge soon surrounded Zhi Zhi, a fishing city in Chongqing. What he didn't expect, however, was that this fishing city, built on the mountain, had strong walls and layers of defense, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In addition, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the Mongols are infected with the plague, so there is still no progress since the lifting of the ban in Dunbing City in May. At that time, it was suggested that we give up fishing city before going? Land and water, leaving Jingchu to meet the East Route Army? . But Mungo insisted on capturing the fishing city. According to historical records, in order to understand the situation in the city, Mongo ordered the construction of a high platform outside the city and often sent people to observe it. On one occasion, Meng Ge personally went to the stage to watch, but he was injured by the cannon stone on the city and died soon.

If Mungo hadn't died,

Meng Ge's death has always been regarded as a major historical event that changed the direction of world history by academic circles, and the fishing city has also been called "Fishing City" by western historians. Where did God break the whip? . Then, we might as well assume that if Mongo had not died at that time, what changes would have taken place in history?

The most direct influence may be the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was already in jeopardy. Lizhou, Qin Long, Shunqing, Langzhou, Pengzhou, Guang 'an and other places in Sichuan successively fell, and all roads leading to the southeast of Sichuan were cut off. If Mongo hadn't died suddenly, he would undoubtedly continue to promote the war of conquering the Southern Song Dynasty in his prime of life and firm character. So, will the Southern Song Dynasty perish more than ten years ahead of schedule?

At the beginning, Mongo sent his younger brother Xu Liewu to launch the third Western Expedition. Xu Liewu attacked the city and pulled out the village all the way in West Asia, and his weapon pointed directly at Egypt. Seeing that the history of Central Asia was about to be rewritten, the news of Mongo's death came, and Xu Liewu led the army eastward, leaving only 15000 people behind. In the end, this15,000 people were defeated by the Afghan army and the whole army was wiped out. In the history of Mongolian conquest before, there were almost no cases of extinction. After that, the invincible aura of the Mongolian army was finally shattered. If Mongo dies, Xu Liewu may not be in a hurry to return to the East. Will the myth of the invincible Mongolian army continue to exist?

After Mongo's death, Mongolia gradually fell apart. If Mongo hadn't died unexpectedly, if Khan could inherit his father's footsteps, would the unprecedented Mongolian empire still exist?

But history has no ifs. After Mongo's death, the Mongolian empire soon fell apart. His younger brother Kublai Khan won the position of Khan, and under his leadership, Meng Yuan will open a new chapter!
