Introduction to Kublai Khan

Kublai Khan (1215-1294), whose full name is Bo'er Zijin Kublai Khan, was a Mongolian, and his wife was the instigator of Luhetieni. The second son (the fourth son overall). The founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, his temple name was Shizu, his posthumous title was Shengde Shengong Wenwu Emperor, and his honorific title in Mongolian was Emperor Xue Chan. He was also the fifth generation Mongol Khan.

After his brother Meng Ge died in 1259, his younger brother Alibuge was elected as the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire in Haralin the following year, while Kublai Khan established himself as the Great Khan in Kaiping, the Central Plains. The younger brother Ali Buge and Kublai Khan began to compete for the throne. Although Kublai Khan won this struggle, the four major khanates in the West severed ties with him and broke away from his rule because he violated the tradition of election of khans and his advocacy of "Xinghan Law". So far, his regime only included the Central Plains, Tibet and Mongolia.

In 1271, Kublai Khan changed the name of his country to Dayuan, officially ascended the throne as emperor, and began his plan to go south to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. It took his army six years to capture the important town of Xiangyang, but the subsequent progress was quite smooth. In 1279, during the naval battle at Yashan, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea carrying the 8-year-old Emperor Bing of the Song Dynasty on his back. The Southern Song Dynasty fell and Kublai Khan ruled all of China.

Kublai Khan later also sent troops to attack some other countries and regions. Among them, the invasion of Japan was the most famous and tragic. In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty (1274), the Yuan Dynasty launched the first Yen War. Japanese history books called it the "Battle of Bunyong". More than 32,000 people conquered Japan eastward. In July of the 18th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1281), Kublai Khan launched the second Yen War, known as the "Battle of Hong'an" in history. Fan Wenhu and Li Ting led more than 100,000 Jiangnan troops to Cineng, Shiga Nishima encountered a typhoon and nearly half of them drowned. Both attacks by the Yuan army ended in failure. It is generally believed that typhoons (the Japanese call these two winds "kamikaze") were the biggest reason for the failure. However, recently some people also tend to believe that the shipbuilding technology of the Yuan Dynasty was backward and the weapons were not as powerful as imagined. Caused by strength.

In his later years, Kublai Khan suffered from obesity and gout. His beloved wife Chabi and Crown Prince Zhenjin died before him, making him extremely sad. In order to seek comfort, he drank more food and fine wine. Excessive drinking made his health a red light, and he died in the palace in the first month of the 31st year of the Yuan Dynasty (1294).
