"The Chaotic Grasslands smell the vultures and soar the sky in horror. Across Europe and Asia, the great talent is proud of The Hero. A generation of heavenly arrogance and power will always exist, and the infinite blue moon will always be bright. - "Seven Laws and Titles"
Genghis Khan, a legendary figure. When it comes to Genghis Khan, everyone knows that he once swept across the entire Eurasian continent and was known as the "lion of the steppe". His whole life was either on the way to conquest of land or territory.
Over the past fifty years, he and his descendants have conquered more than 40 countries, involving more than 720 ethnic groups and involving nearly 600 million people, becoming the largest empire in Eurasia.
It is not too much for the great man to regard him as a "generation of heroes", and if you know how big the territory of the Empire he created is, you will think that Napoleon and Hitler are nothing. It can be said that it is because Genghis Khan laid down almost half the world, he and his descendants ruled the West for more than 250 years, and they must win every battle, and they can't find a few such great figures in the world.
First, a generation of heavenly pride, Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan, born on May 31, 1162, was named Bo'erjin Temujin, and Genghis Khan was his honorific title.
Temujin was born into an aristocratic family, the father of a Mongol tribal leader, but was poisoned and died when he was 9 years old. At that time, there was constant turmoil between the tribes on the steppe, and after the death of his father, the tribe also declined, and Genghis Khan was also captured by the people of Taichi Wubu, but fortunately the subjects saved him from danger.
After escaping, Genghis Khan understood that in order to defeat Taichi Ubu, he must make himself stronger. Later, he defected to his uncle's tribe and secretly gathered the people of the previous tribe to strengthen his army. Successive conquests made Genghis Khan more and more powerful. When his power reached a certain level, he created a new tribe of his own and became the Great Khan. In 1180, the leader of the Beggars snatched his wife, and Genghis Khan silently had the idea of crusading against the tribe.
With his own efforts, he took the position of the leader of the Beggars.
By 1206, the 45-year-old Genghis Khan had unified the various tribes of Mongolia and established the Mongolian State, which was revered as "Genghis Khan".
He also led troops to attack the Xia, Jin and other countries, and fought abroad for 7 years before returning to Mongolia. The crusade against Western Xia took a year, and when the Western Xia Emperor found that he was already surrounded by Genghis Khan, he had no choice but to seek peace and signed a contract.
But who knows, when Genghis Khan was 64 years old, Xixia actually violated the agreement, he was unwilling to stop and resolutely wanted to lead his own troops out on the expedition, and many years of crusade made Genghis Khan's body fall ill, and in the process of conquest of Western Xia, he launched a high fever and a serious illness, but still held his position.
He eventually died in 1227.
2. Conquer the four sides and establish the Yuan Dynasty
Genghis Khan was 9 years old when his father was killed
The Tatars
Murder, from that time on he vowed to avenge his father, but was later killed again
Taichi Ubu
It was not easy to escape from the arrest. After experiencing the setbacks of escape, Genghis Khan's will was tempered more firmly, and he must be determined to get rid of the Tatars and The Taichiwu.
But at that time, his own ability was not enough to fight against the people of these two tribes, and he found it
Krebe
The chief of the
Deli Sweat
。 The reason for finding Thiri Khan is not only because Genghis Khan's father is an ally with them, but most importantly because the Tatars have a common enemy of each other, and they all want to destroy the tribe. After all, the Krebu is a large and populous place, and Tere Khan is his father's generation, if you want to persuade him to ally, you must first be sincere, humble and respectful.
Genghis Khan saw Terry Khan and said respectfully:
You, as my father's friend, are like my biological father, and now I offer you the sable skin jacket
。 Terry Khan looked at the humble and courteous Genghis Khan in front of him and agreed to his request. After that, Genghis Khan began his path to revival. After the conquests, Genghis Khan surpassed the average person in both ability and physical fitness, and at the recommendation of many tribes, he became the Khan of the Mongolian Beggars at the age of 22.
In 1202, the Tatars perished. After a year, Genghis Khan split with Théli Khan and destroyed krebe, at which time Genghis Khan became the largest overlord in the entire steppe. Then he led a large army to forge ahead, occupied the Naiman department of the Sun Khan, completely dominated the Mongolian steppe, and then established the Mongol Empire, laying a solid foundation for the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Jin Dynasty declined under the attack of Genghis Khan, and after Genghis Khan's death his descendants continued to fight everywhere, and later the Jin Dynasty fell to its end in 1234, and the Southern Song Dynasty did not survive. The Mongol Empire founded by Genghis Khan eventually began to split due to Kublai Khan's rivalry with Ali Buge.
In the end, Kublai Khan defeated Ali Buge, ascended to the Khan's throne, and established the Yuan Dynasty.
Third, the steppe iron horse, conquer the world
During the reign of Genghis Khan, many countries in the West would be frightened to urinate as long as they heard the name of the steppe iron horse, And Genghis Khan and his descendants once took 300,000 iron horses around for more than 50 years, occupying more than 40 countries, conquering more than 720 ethnic groups, and founding the Mongol Empire, the most extensive territory in the ancient world.
After Genghis Khan and his grandson founded the Yuan Dynasty, their territory spanned three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, covering an area of about 30 million square kilometers.
After a few years, the fiefs that originally belonged to the Mongol Empire began to become independent and became
Khanate of Chincha, Chagatai Khanate, Ilkhanate
and
Wokoutai Khanate
These four khanates were all administered by the Yuan Dynasty.
The scope of the Khanate of Chincha is now
Afghanistan and five Central Asian countries
Most of the area, the Chagatai Khanate occupies what is now
Jimsar, Yining, Turpan, Xinjiang
wait. Compared to these two khanates, the territory of the Ilkhanate is more extensive, there is
Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan
and many other countries, the last one is
The Wokoutai Khanate was the smallest of the four
Because Genghis Khan only gave it a small prairie.
In fact, more than that, Kublai Khan did not disappoint Genghis Khan after taking over, he took over Genghis Khan's will and kept expanding the territory, and the places he visited became a river of blood. In 1231, Kublai Khan recaptured Goryeo and, in 1233, he occupied the Kingdom of Dongjin, which is now the case
North Korea
Korea
。
India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Germany, France, Russia
And many other countries are the places they have conquered.
epilogue:
Someone once said of Genghis Khan:
Wherever the horse can run, it will eventually be occupied by Genghis Khan
In this sentence, we can realize that Genghis Khan's power and force are not comparable to ordinary people. Can get"
A generation of arrogance
"There are very few people with titles, which also shows that Genghis Khan is really remarkable, and there is only one mistake he has made, that is, each of his sons is king.
His life was more brilliant than Alexander and Julius Caesar, and when he dominated the eurasian lands and made people look invincible, only he knew that the grand ambitions in his heart were not yet completed, and his descendants still had to work hard. Such a person had to impress the whole world.
