Editing Battle of Yamen (section)

==Aftermath==
The ''[[History of Song (Yuan dynasty)|History of Song]]'' records that, seven days after the battle, thousands of corpses floated to the surface of the sea. Reportedly, the body of the boy emperor was found near today's [[Shekou Industrial Zone|Shekou]] in [[Shenzhen]], though his actual grave has yet to be found.

[[Zhang Shijie]], having escaped the battle, hoped to have Dowager Yang appoint the next Song emperor, and from there continue to resist the Yuan dynasty. However, after hearing of Emperor Huaizong's death, Dowager Yang also committed suicide at sea. Zhang Shijie buried her at the shore. He and his remaining soldiers were assumed to have drowned at sea, as a [[tropical storm]] whipped up soon afterwards. However, there have been suggestions that his death was simply Mongolian propaganda, since no remains or trace of his fleet were ever found.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}}

As Zhao Bing was the last Song emperor, his death effectively ended the Song dynasty and the [[House of Zhao]] completely lost power over China, leaving the Yuan dynasty, under [[Kublai Khan]], with all of the country under its control. Kublai Khan and his successors and followers would rule China for 97 years until the rise of the [[Ming dynasty]] under the [[Hongwu Emperor]], when the Chinese regained control of their lost territory from the Mongols.

Despite Pu Shougeng defecting from the Song to the Yuan, towards the end of the Yuan dynasty, the Yuan Mongols turned against Pu Shougeng's family and the Muslims and [[Ispah_rebellion#Defeat|slaughtered Pu Shougeng's descendants in the Ispah rebellion]]. Mosques and other buildings with foreign architecture were almost all destroyed and the Yuan imperial soldiers killed most of the descendants of Pu Shougeng and horrifically mutilated their corpses.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Garnaut |first1=Anthony |date=March 2006 |title=The Islamic Heritage in China: A General Survey |url=http://www.muslimheritage.com/article/islamic-heritage-china |journal=China Heritage Newsletter |issue=5 |access-date=2022-07-09 |archive-date=2018-05-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180516022504/http://www.muslimheritage.com/article/islamic-heritage-china |url-status=live }}</ref>

In the 1980s, another memorial was built near Shekou to commemorate Zhao Bing. The preparation of a leafy greens soup dish, [[patriotic soup]], has also become a way to memorialize the boy emperor by the [[Teochew people]]. Today, a museum complex, the Song-Yuan Yamen Sea Warfare Culture Tourist Zone, lies just to the east of the battle site.
