Mangu, therefore, could not possibly have died in 654 H., nor in the first month of 655 H. Another proof is that Hulaku sent the news to Mangu of the capture of Baghdad, and the murder of the last Kha-lifah, together with an account of events which had happened in ’Irak in 656 H., and which news reached him. Therefore, allowing for the immense distance which separated the brothers, the first month of 657 H. — January, 1259 A. D. — is, evidently, the more correct date. Our author, who finished his history in the fifth month of 658 H. — about the end of February, 1260 A.D. — appears to have very recently become aware of his death by report. I must now give the Chinese version of these events for the sake of comparison. “Hu-lyang-hotay” having made conquests in the countries bordering on “Yun-nan,” subsequent to his subjugation of Tibbat in 1255 A. D. — 653 H. — penetrated as far as “Tong-king,” and “Kochin-China,” then comprehended under the name of “Gan-nan,” ruined its capital, and plundered the country. He was returning to “Tali,” when “Mengko” ordered him to join “Hu-pi-lay” in the siege of Vu-chang-Fu \[capital of the province of Hu-quang\]. - [Previous: 288.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.3.5) - [Next: 288.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.3.7) - [Up: 288.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.3.6) · Pramāṇa
