In this lecture, he cut from the third invasion of the Mongol Empire to the Southern Song Dynasty, told historical stories about the expansion of the Mongol Empire, the three defenders of Diaoyu City, and shared some of his views and opinions on the Battle of Diaoyu City. When talking about the reasons for the death of the fourth emperor of the Mongol Empire in Chongqing, he believes that Möngke's death was not simply due to injuries in battle, but also because Chongqing was too hot in the summer. He once went to the North Hot Spring where Möngke died to conduct a field investigation, and after looking through the relevant historical materials, concluded, "Möngke's injury was one of the reasons for his death, and another reason was possible heat stroke, according to historical records, the summer in Chongqing was very hot that year." ”
Meng Ge attacked Diaoyu City unsuccessfully but died here, and Xiong Zhaozheng analyzed three reasons from historical data. "The Mongol Empire has had a tradition of not fighting in the summer since Genghis Khan, and every summer the Mongol Army will rest, but it was summer when Möngke attacked diaoyu City. The second is that Möngke is stubborn, insisting on not giving up attacking Diaoyu City and refusing to take a detour. Third, not enough attention was paid to the defenders of Diaoyu City. ”
For the historical significance of the Battle of Diaoyu City, Xiong Zhaozheng believes that it is a huge turning point in history, and its status is no less than that of the two major battles of Waterloo in France and Gettysburg in the United States. "Diaoyu City is a small place, and in my opinion there are two other small places in the world that are the same as Diaoyu City, one is the famous Waterloo, where Napoleon lost. Then there's Gettysburg, a turning point in the American Civil War. ”
