The end of Xi Xia
1227 — The Tangut state, vassal since 1210, refused troops for the western war. Genghis returns, dies of illness or injury mid-siege, and his final order is carried out: Zhongxing’s people are put to the sword and Xi Xia is erased from the registers. Remember the price of the lesson others learned.
This is one scene of Chapter 3 — The Fall of North China in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
