There are many great empires in the world, the first emperor of China, Ying Zheng, the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, Liu Che, the Caesar of the Roman Empire, and Alexander of the Macedonian Kingdom, who is not a figure in the limelight, but compared with this leader of the Mongolian steppe, he must shake his iron horse. He is Bo'er Jin Temujin.
Also known as "Genghis Khan", he founded the Great Mongol State, he launched a war, fought violently from Mongolia to all sides, ruled Russia to the west, killed all the way to Europe, swallowed the Golden Kingdom to the south, occupied West Asia, crossed the Black Sea, threatened Africa, even India in South Asia was threatened by Mongolia, he established the most extensive country in the history of the world, the territory spanned three continents, and was the most influential emperor in Chinese history.
He is a miracle in the history of world war, the pinnacle of the history of cold weapons war, and his iron horse sweeps everywhere, invincible and unstoppable. Westerners regard him as a war maniac, because his slaughter of the city and aggression have aroused great controversy, and this aggression against other nationalities has reached an incomparable level, even taking pleasure in killing children and wives, which is indeed a stain on aggression.
But if we look at the entire history of the world, the merits established by Genghis Khan are a pioneering achievement, and the country with the most extensive territory in the world objectively promotes the integration of all parts of the world, including the smooth flow of trade at that time, and the operation of manpower and material resources within the entire huge empire, which can be seen as a manifestation of the beginning of globalization.
Genghis Khan was poisoned when he was a child, he and several brothers and mother depended on each other, the situation was difficult, in this environment grew up Genghis Khan forged the characteristics of perseverance and bravery, he thought that he was the son of heaven, destined to be extraordinary, he started from the leader of a weak tribe, step by step to grow into the world lord of unified Mongolia, unified China, conquered Eurasia, and he was basically crushed all the way, with a small army to complete the feat of penetrating the world, if he did not die early, the whole world would tremble for it.
More importantly, Genghis Khan not only "bent the bow to shoot the big eagle", he also had Wenzhi. Mongolia originally had no writing, very primitive carved wood knot grass chronicle, to his hands, really established the Mongols' own writing system, he also promulgated Mongolia's first written law "Zaza Code", the world's first set of most widely used written codes "Genghis Khan Code".
He also established the system of a thousand households, completed the transformation from the tribal system, the clan system to the aristocratic slave owner system, which was the economic means by which he strengthened his rule, although it was still relatively backward, but also completed the transformation to a higher economic form, and his army reward system was still very complete, so that everyone who worked hard to fight could get a share of the war windfall.
Genghis Khan is in the gap between barbarism and civilization, using force to create a miracle, although he is a Mongol, but his descendants established the Yuan, although the literati of the Central Plains are quite discussed, but after all, they have entered the Central Plains, we still have to submit to Genghis Khan, after all, he is not only the emperor of China, but also the emperor of the world.
