Kaifeng falls
1233 — Subötai takes the Jin’s last capital after a year of siege and plague; the dynasty ends at Caizhou months later, squeezed between Mongols and their new Song allies — who have just invited the storm to their own border.
This is one scene of Chapter 3 — The Fall of North China in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
