Ride on horseback and seize the world.
Speaking of the Yuan Dynasty, we all know that Mongols rode horses to conquer the world. Mongolian men are big, very strong, very strong, but they are strong, not fat, and have more muscles. As the fifth great Khan of Mongolia, Kublai Khan also fought in the south and the north, opening up territory for Mongolia. At this time, his figure is also quite good.
1260, after Kublai Khan called Khan, he stopped fighting for the world, especially after he called Khan the emperor (but Dayuan was not formally established at this time). Gradually, Kublai Khan did not need to fight for himself and lived in the deep palace.
Kublai Khan, who had been idle, gradually fell into a state of enjoyment. Good conditions made Kublai Khan's body fat. As for why he is fat, it can be summarized as: indulgence, dieting, alcoholism and internal injuries.
Indulge:
When it comes to indulgence, it has been more serious since Genghis Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. There are more than 40 wives and concubines with famous surnames in the official history, and the rest of the attendants and female slaves are countless. When the Mongolian army conquered the flower thorn submodule, all men were killed as long as they were higher than the wheels, while women were taken back to the barracks and reduced to playthings.
The death of Genghis Khan is considered by many people to be related to Princess Xixia or a woman. After his death, his heir, Wokuotai, even made a rumor that he had 4,000 women and died of binge drinking.
In fact, Kublai Khan is similar to them. Although there are few records about the concubines of Queen Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan once saw a woman in the palace and asked the people around him, "Who is this beautiful woman?" The attendant replied, "Isn't this your concubine?" Thus, Kublai Khan can't even remember the faces of his concubines, so there must be many concubines and maids.
Diet:
Speaking of Mongolians, they should all be associated with beef and mutton. It is because they eat cattle and sheep for a long time that they are strong, and beef and mutton have higher calories. It is very good food for soldiers who have been fighting for a long time, but if they get off their horses and stay in the palace every day, how can they not grow meat?
Alcoholism:
Friends who have been to Inner Mongolia know that Mongolian friends are very warm and friendly to their guests. After drinking, Mongolian friends will certainly treat you well. Nine times out of ten, you will get drunk, because in their eyes, if you are not drunk, it proves that they are not good.
It is actually a historical issue that Mongolians love to drink. In ancient times, the cold winter was much sadder and colder than the present winter, and wine could warm the body. When Mongolians meet major festivals and celebrate some things, they will have a big banquet and drink a lot, sometimes even for a few days.
None of the top four khans in Mongolia stopped drinking, of which Wokuotai died of alcoholism, and Kublai Khan was also a heavy drinker, who drank repeatedly in the last period of his life.
Internal injuries:
No matter how many concubines and handmaids Kublai Khan had, he would never fail his wife Cha Yu. He is very kind to his wife Cha Yu, because Cha Yu has always been a silent supporter behind Kublai Khan. She was even willing to be a hostage for her husband, which played a key role in Kublai Khan's struggle for Khan's position. Kublai Khan is very happy to have such a wife.
After Chabi became queen, she was also very low-key. He even personally planted grass in front of the palace where he lived, warning future generations of the palace to keep advocating frugality. The evaluation of Cha Bi in history books is very high: "His nature is bright and sensitive, and he can achieve great things. At the beginning of the founding of the country, his politics was correct and he was powerful afterwards."
However, in the eighteenth year of Zhiyuan (128 1), Chayu died of illness, which made Kublai Khan very sad and his spirit was depressed for a time. After a long time, Kublai Khan came out of his sadness, but the blow came again. Jin Zhenying, his handpicked heir to the throne, died young, and the death of his loved ones hit Kublai Khan again.
Kublai Khan attached great importance to real gold, which was also the best among Kublai Khan's philosophers. Like his father, he attached importance to Confucianism and actively studied China culture. Jin Jin helped Kublai Khan deal with a lot of Korean affairs and got a chance to exercise after he was made a prince. But because of some things, real gold was hit hard and caused a lot of worries. He finally died in 1285, and his death hit Kublai Khan again.
Kublai Khan lost his loved ones one after another, and his heart was hit hard. He began to drink and eat too much, which led to his constant weight gain. In the end, it should be as high as 200 kg or more (some scholars even think that Kublai Khan weighs more than 250 kg). You know Kublai Khan is a short man, and his weight has seriously affected his health.
For various reasons, Kublai Khan's weight kept increasing, which finally affected his health and made him suffer from gout. We won't explain the content of gout in detail. Let's talk about people who are prone to gout first. There are four kinds of people who are prone to gout: 1. Family history of gout, if immediate family members have a history of gout attacks, the probability of gout is higher than that of normal people;
Obese men or postmenopausal women over the age of 2.60;
3. Patients with some basic diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cerebrovascular diseases;
4, long-term alcoholism, long-term like to eat a lot of meat, and eat more meals, more entertainment.
On the surface, Kublai Khan accounted for at least 2 and 4 of them, and I think the remaining two items are likely to exist. As for Kublai Khan's gout, it is probably caused by alcoholism, overeating and obesity.
Kublai Khan did not fight all the time like his grandfather Genghis Khan. After he came to power, he also got off the horse. All kinds of living habits make him obese, and obesity also makes him sick. He finally defeated obesity and disease. The only good news is that Kublai Khan was the oldest emperor in the Yuan Dynasty.
