What reading level is The Makers of Cathay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As may be expected Bayan would not listen to such nonsense, and made his preparations for the siege of Hangchow. The fall of Chia Ssu Tao was the next event, and the unfortunate minister's place was supplied by a competent leader, Chang Shih Chieh, who proved himself like Wen and I,u, a loyal supporter of the tottering dynasty. Chang at once made a vigorous attack on the Wen Tien Shiang, Lu Shiu Fu 146 Mongols, but was repulsed v'ith heavy loss, and he fell back to concentrate his strength on t...he defence of the capital. The next Sung Emperor, Kung Ti, on his acces- sion in 1275, issued edicts calling upon all the loyal Chinese to contribute money and arms to the defence of their country. This proclamation reached Wen Tien Shiang' in Kanchou, and he at once exerted himself to raise an army in Kiangsi. He was able to gather a force of some ten thousand men, partly Chinese, partly aborigines, and these he sent off to Hangchow to aid in the opera- tions there. In this way Wen was able to show the genuineness of his devotion to the Sung dynasty, for the collecting of these forces used up all his private resources, and besides being worked almost to death, he was left in absolute poverty.
