Tips

history
The son of 拖雷, he became Great Khan in 1251 and sent his brothers out to conquer: 旭烈兀 to the Middle East and 忽必烈 against the Song. He died in 1259 besieging 钓鱼城 near Chongqing, whether of illness or of a wound is still argued, and the struggle to succeed him pulled Mongol armies back from as far away as Syria.
mistakes
Here 蒙 is méng, the reading it has for a sound in foreign names, as in 蒙哥马利, Montgomery, and not the Měng of 蒙古, Mongolia.
