In 1206 AD, with genghis Khan ascending the throne as the Khan of the Great Mongol State, there was another rising country in the world. Genghis Khan's life is legendary, he led the Mongols on horseback all the way to the south to fight the northern war, each time relying on only a hundred thousand brave and good warriors, conquered most of Asia.
Genghis Khan's ambition may be to conquer all the lands that can be set foot on the iron hoof, but no matter what kind of military wizards, there will be an end day. On 25 August 1227, he died the night before the Western Xia surrendered. However, this is not the only regret in his life.
In 1219, Genghis Khan personally led 200,000 people on a western expedition, passing through ancient India on the way. At that time, ancient India and the Volga generation became fierce battlefields. The Khwarazm people resisted desperately, and also eliminated 30,000 Mongol soldiers in the Battle of Baluwan, but Genghis Khan was not a person who gave up lightly, and chased Khwarazm all the way to India.
With the powerful power of the Mongols at that time, it was possible to directly destroy India, but Genghis Khan did not do this, but returned to the dynasty under the pretext of being a teacher. As for the reason, the "History of the Yuan" and other related historical books have recorded that Genghis Khan encountered a strange monster on the way to the southern expedition, called "Duan".
Genghis Khan was a man who was not afraid of heaven, and immediately ordered his men to raise their bows and shoot. At this moment, the monster suddenly made a roaring sound, especially like a human voice, which sounded like "Lord Ru has returned early". Genghis Khan's bodyguard, Yelü Chucai, immediately said that this monster was sent by heaven, and this was a warning to the Khan that he must hurry back.
Genghis Khan resigned after hearing this, but this reason is full of myths in the eyes of modern people, which is really not credible. In fact, there is a real real reason why Genghis Khan did not fight India. The first point is that the Mongols are not good at water warfare, they generally grow up on flat grasslands, and horses are their best combat partners.
However, India had many rivers and jungles, which made the Mongol army, which was good at fighting blitzkrieg on the steppe, frustrated as soon as it entered India. Although Genghis Khan built up a water army with lightning speed, the second point, the disobedience of the water and soil, soon caused the Mongols to suffer a great loss.
The Mongols, who grew up in the dry and cold regions of Siberia, could not adapt to the humid and hot environment of the time, let alone march into ancient India, which was in the heat of the heat. Third, the unfamiliar ecological environment. This also made the Mongols very broken, and the Indian jungle was not only complex terrain and unbearable humid heat, but also had poisonous miasmas, ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes everywhere.
These reasons slowed the advance of Genghis Khan's army, and the warriors did not travel long before they felt exhausted and wanted to go back. When they really went to war with ancient India, they found that they were still behind. The ancient Indians loved to fight with elephants.
Just as the Mongols loved horses, the ancient Indians used elephants as a symbol of strength and wisdom, and during the time of Genghis Khan, war elephants had long been the main fighting force of the ancient Indian dynasty. Those war elephants, which were several times higher than the Mongol iron horse, made the Mongol soldiers difficult to conquer, and the warriors left a deep shadow.
Genghis Khan was fearless, but his men could not hold on. Yelü Chucai tried everything to persuade Genghis Khan, but he could not stop his strong will, and finally relied on the "Duan Beast Oracle" to pull Genghis Khan back. Therefore, in the eyes of the Great Mongolians, they only went back in accordance with Providence.
Therefore, after the death of Genghis Khan, many of his descendants coveted ancient India and wanted to fulfill the last wishes of their ancestors. In 1397, Tamerlane did not heed the advice and insisted on marching into the ancient Delhi Sultanate, which led to his successful invasion of the hinterland of India, and he slaughtered and looted.
Timur, who was so self-satisfied, hit the Ming Dynasty with the idea again, but was completely destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and could only sigh that no matter how strong the country and army would decline.
