China triumphed again after a recent dispute with the Mongol army. During the celebration of victory that occurred at the Palace, Shan Yu tried to seize China by disguising himself as a dragon puppet and kidnapping the Emperor.

You have to tell us what to do now, and the plan to stop them!’’ My heart dropped and out of everything this was the last thing that I thought would actually happen. I sat down to catch a

The Mongols waited and stopped supplies from entering the city. While Beijing’s people were starving to death and resorting to cannibalism to survive, the Mongol’s were preparing by learning tactics such as building catapults to conquer Beijing. When the war began the Chinese were much more advanced than the Mongols, but Genghis Khan out witted them, by having Chinese prisoners at the front lines and having his men wear silk shirts in order to prevent clothing from getting stuck in wounds. When the city fell to the Mongols the Chinese commander took his own life. Genghis Khan ordered inhalation of Beijing and let his army’s generals be in charge of overtaking China. A year later, China’s land was filled with bones and bodies. Genghis Khan wanted to improve his society and brought in Chinese people to help them develop weapons, create a medical field and had all of his followers record his laws and judgments. He created trade posts begin his conquest with other countries. Persia then decided to send one of Genghis Khan’s messenger’s head back. Genghis Khan sent an army of 200,000 to burn down any town in Persia that did not surrender to him. Four years later Genghis Khan would say his last words on a conquest into China. He died thinking he failed in conquering the whole

Throughout the nineteenth century China’s emperors watched as foreign powers began to encroach closer and closer upon their land. Time after time, China was forced to make embarrassing concessions.

Her qi power leads her to the stone without her having to open her eyes. When she thinks she is getting nearer to the stone, she opens her eyes and up ahead are Danzi, Wang Cao and Diao.

A bearded merchant turned in his saddle, “The guards have been ordered to search everyone entering the city. Not sure why.”

Word of Zheng He’s death set off a political firestorm among court factions within the Chinese government. As a result, there was swift movement to restrain future maritime exploration altogether. It also appears that the ever masterful Confucian scholars had a hand in orchestrating a largely symbolic message when they ordered the destruction of Zheng He’s entire fleet and years of meticulously kept documents.
