Emperor Huanzong Western Xia
Edit Profile
Career
However, the high-ranking officials in the Western Xia government became more corrupt as time passed, starting the irreversible decline of the Western Xia. The rising of the Mongols under Genghis Khan began to pose threats as Mongols began raiding border villages. In 1205, Huanzong changed the name of the Western Xia capital to Zhongxing (now Yinchuan).
Also in 1205, the Mongols began their first invasion of the Western Xia, pillaging and burning many outlying villages and cities.
Huanzong died in the same year.
