The Battle of Diaoyu City, also known as the Battle of Hezhou, the Mongolian army went south to Shu to besiege Diaoyu City. In July 1258, Meng Ge Khan led the Mongolian army and advanced from Liupan Mountain (now Ningxia) to Sichuan in three separate routes. The army quickly captured most areas of western and northern Sichuan, and arrived at Wusheng Mountain (near the town of Wusheng County today), preparing to capture Hezhou Diaoyu Town. Mengge sent people to surrender, but was rejected by the Southern Song general Wang Jian and killed the messenger. Meng Ge Khan was determined to use force to level the Diaoyu City. In February 1259, Meng Ge relied on his strong military strength and decided to attack Diaoyu City instead of taking the suggestion of avoiding the strong city. The Mongolian army stationed in Shizishan, and Meng Ge personally supervised the siege of the city. At the same time, a three-way army was dispatched to attack the city, and the two-way army blocked

Expansion information: Boer Zhijin·Mengge (January 10, 1209-August 11, 1259), the Mongolian empire, known as "Menggehan" in history. Yuan Xianzong, grandson of Genghis Khan and the eldest son of Torre. Reigned from 1251-1259. His fourth brother is Kublai Khan. The mother instigated Luhotini.
The eldest soldier who participated in Batu commander’s west expedition before he came to the throne, captured the eighth leader of Qinchao. , Attacking ancient Ross and other places. After he came to the throne, he was mainly devoted to conquering the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali. And dispatched Xu Liewu west to conquer the countries of West Asia. In 1259, he died at the foot of the Diaoyu Mountain in the east of Hechuan. In October of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1266), the Taimiao was built, and the posthumous temple was named after Kublai Khan.The name of Mengge Temple is Xianzong, and the posthumous name is Emperor Huansu.
Qing Dynasty historian Shao Yuanping’s "Yuanshi Leibian" evaluation is: "The book said: the sky knows the auspiciousness, the hearts of the people are the masters; the southwest, penetrates into the middle earth; does not investigate the Jue Xun, but also Zhen is the martial arts; , End Chang Shixu.
There is also a historical explanation:
4da21a#1259 Mengge sent troops to the Song Army to slash and kill at close range, but Diaoyucheng had not been captured in more than 50 days. Mengge urgently sent his assistant to the city to persuade the surrender, but was killed by a flying stone. Mengge rushed to the front of the battle in anger and was also killed. Song’s soil artillery struck him and died.Meng Ge’s death brought about a chain reaction: Kublai Khan, who had already hit the Yangtze River, immediately returned to the north to fight for the Khan position, and the Southern Song Dynasty continued for another 20 years. Hulagu, who was fully prepared to attack Egypt, heard about the death of Meng Ge, and stopped advancing to Africa and Europe in order to fight for the position of the Great Khan. He led the main force to return east, and Mongolia’s third western expedition ended.
若蒙Brother is okay, Europe and Africa don’t know how many wars there will be. Later, the entire world history, especially the history of Europe, must be greatly changed-the religious reform, the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, the Great Navigation Era, etc. may not happen at all. Today’s world civilization is likely to be completely different.
And all of this originated more than 700 years ago, an unknown Song Army soldier stationed on a remote hill in Diaoyu City. He will not I know that the earth cannon he lit changed the world...
