Where was Meng in Yuan Dynasty?

1258 (the sixth year of Bao in the Southern Song Dynasty) In February, Mongolian Khan Mengge () personally led 65438+ ten thousand troops to attack Sichuan in three ways, and even captured many counties in the Southern Song Dynasty and arrived at Fishing City. Meng Ge, who has won many battles since he entered Sichuan, doesn't care about the fishing city at all, and arrogantly declares: "In January, I will raze the fishing city to the ground." However, since February 1259, Meng Ge personally commanded the Mongolian army to attack many times, resulting in heavy losses to the troops, and even the head coach Wang Dechen was killed in Fishing City. In July, Mongo, the "whip of God" that swept across Europe and Asia and frightened Europeans, was also folded at the gate. Fishing Town is also called "Mecca City in the East" and "Land where God breaks the whip" by historians all over the world. However, due to the unclear record of Meng Ge's death in historical books, Meng Ge's death has caused many speculations in the history circle, and there is still a lack of convincing views. There are mainly the following types:

One was shot by Song Jun. Liu Kezhuang, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, said in his poem "Shu Jie": "At first, it was said that the south was insulting, but the north heard that it was not enough, and the fruit was broken under the strong crossbow." The abridged edition of World History edited by Syrian Abu Faradi, the Outline of China History edited by Jane Bozan and the General History Syllabus of China edited by Zhang Chuanxi and Li Peihao all hold the view that Mungo's death was shot by an arrow. The inscription on the stone tablet of "Newly-built Ergong Temple" in Zhong Yi Temple of Fishing Mountain, the former site of Fishing Town, Hechuan County, Sichuan Province, which was set up in Hezhou on 15 17 (in the 12th year of the Ming Dynasty) also says that Meng Ge was "killed by an arrow".

Second, because of repeated setbacks in the attack, he finally died of anxiety. According to the Records of Ancient and Modern Times compiled by Huang Zhen in the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Ge was repeatedly defeated by Wang Jian, who was well-known in Hezhou, because he repeatedly attacked Hezhou Fishing City. He was humiliated and angered to death in the army.

The third is drowning. The oral Haitun Chronicle said that Meng Ge was attacking Song Jun, and the warship he was riding was cut by a diver from Song Jun and fell into the water and died.

The fourth is to die because of ineffective medical treatment. In the Collected Works of History edited by Rastadine, a Persian politician and writer, it was recorded that Mungo liked drinking, the weather was hot, dysentery prevailed in Mungo's army, and Mungo died of illness. Bi Yuan, a Qing man, also holds this view in Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

Fifth, he died of shock injury caused by gun wind. The article "The Story of Fishing City" in the Collection of Ancient and Modern Books in the Qing Dynasty said that Munger was bombarded by cannon stones in Song Jun when he set up a watchtower to spy out the fishing city, and Munger fell ill by the cannon wind. Banshi went to Moujun Mountain, and he was very ill ... He passed the Wentang Gorge of Jinjianshan (now Beibei North Hot Spring in Chongqing, Sichuan) and died. "1484, Xie Shiyuan, a patrol in Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, also said in Preface to Yushan Poetry that Meng Ge died of" cannon wind disease ". The same thing was recorded in Hechuan County Annals edited by Mr. Zhang Senkai in the Republic of China, and it was said that the place where Mengge was hit by shells was Dongshan (now called Gun Mountain) on the other side of Jialing River in today's fishing city. 1980 published the book Historical Investigation of Fishing City compiled by the History Department of Southwest Normal University, which adopted the viewpoint of "the story of fishing city", and also said that Wang Jian, the ruler of Hezhou, ordered people to send more than 30 kilograms of big fish and hundreds of cakes from Tianchi, a fishing city, to Mengge Camp after the fire broke out in Mengge, and attached a book to tell Mengge to fry fish and eat cakes, and said that Mengge was seriously injured. See.

Sixth, killed by cannon stone. Liu Yihua, Feng Erkang's Ancient History of China and Qiu Shusen's History of the Yuan Dynasty all adopted this view, arguing that Meng Ge was hit by a cannon stone fired by Song Jun when he led the army to attack the city, and died of serious injuries.

To sum up, it is still inconclusive why Mongo died under the fishing city. How the "whip of God" is broken needs further study.
