Köke
Köke was a general for the Mongol Empire who served under its Great Khan, Möngke, during the 13th century.
Biography[edit | edit source]
During the summer of 1259, as Möngke Khan was on a campaign to conquer the Song Empire in China, Köke was part of the army which besieged the Song forces entrenched in the Diaoyu Fortress. However, plagued by diseases and faced with the strong resistance of the Songs, the Mongols were unsuccessful in their attempts to break the fortress' defenses.[1]
After the failure to breach Diaoyu Castle, Köke asked for volunteers for a new assault, led by Möngke's commander-in-chief, Wang Dechen. Among those who answered the general's recruitment call were Bayan and his men, who all joined Dechen for a night raid on the fortress, believing it would be more successful.[1]
