Mongol Times

Kublai Khan, the son of Genghis Khan has defeated the Song dynasty this week. The Mongols have been unsuccessful at beating us until now. They finally learned how to make and use gunpowder. I am very upset that the Mongols defeated us, the Song dynasty. We should have been more prepared, and advanced our weapons while we could. Chinese Song dynasty should have been better for this devastating Mongol takeover. The Mongols had a peace treaty wit the song before the war, but then we shot their ambassador.



The Mongols should not have beaten us because we had a peace treaty with them. We have had they peace treaty for over 50 years. We interviewed a villager from the Song dynasty and asked about what he thought. He said, “The Song should have won by far we were more advance in weapon, but we didn't use them to our advantage.” Another reason the Song should have won is because we know more about government. We have been a dynasty in China  for 100 years! We know what is best for China and it is not the Mongols.


Kublai Khan disagrees with us because he said he was working hard on building stronger weapons and that he would be a good emperor. This is what he thinks, “I have unified China into one dynasty something that the Chinese have been working on for a while. I have also created new weapons and I am excited to make new inventions and share new ideas with the world, instead of sticking to the same old ideas and inventions.” Scholars are very excited to see him rule they think he will use their ideas to make different invention and make the Yuan dynasty on top.


We still think the Mongol should not have beaten the Chinese at all we are smarter tank the Mongols and we have studied tons of government in the past so we should have won. We cannot go back in time and take back the Song, but we can fight the Mongols rule. Kublai Khan is the new emperor for now but we will take back chin later!
