The great man interpreted ancient history quite thoroughly,
And the Genghis Khan in his eyes is "a generation of natural pride".
This title is not exaggerated at all, because if you understand how big the borders of Genghis Khan's "empire" were, you may find that Napoleon, Hitler and he are not on the same level. Why? Because Genghis Khan once laid half the world.
Did Genghis Khan really lay half the world? Look at these countries that were once his booty
Of course, many people will not believe, how big is half the world? It is not a slap on the globe, with the reality of everything running on horseback in the era of Genghis Khan, half the world is enough for him to run for a few years.
Well, that's right, but
No matter how big the earth is, no matter how slow the horse is, it can't stop the horse
。 Genghis Khan's war is like this, he really did not stop the feeling of fighting, his more than sixty years of life, almost all in the state of war, the expansion of the territory is the most interesting thing for a generation of Tianjiao.
So, how many battles did Genghis Khan fight and control how many places did he control? Opening up the geographical map of the era, Genghis Khan was born in Mongolia, and he fought for Mongolian hegemony since he was a child. So, the original battlefield was Mongolia. After that, the periphery outside of Mongolia became the place where Genghis Khan wanted to conquer.
First, Genghis Khan took his team with him
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan
Defeat all the way. These five stans thus became khanate vassals of the Mongol Empire.
Second, Genghis Khan led his troops to continue the march on Khwarazm, and there were many countries included, at that time
Afghanistan, 14 countries in the Middle East, northern India, Basstan
They all became vassals of the Mongol Empire.
Not only that,
A big country like Russia used to be a small vassal state of Genghis Khan
。 Even
Hungary, Rome, Czech Republic, Austria
And other Eastern European countries are not immune.
Although some wars were fought by Genghis Khan's sons, they were all under his command. He also expanded towards the Central Plains, hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, shaanxi, almost all of which were Mongolian territory. Genghis Khan is said to be invincible, and in his life's battlefield career, except for the defeat of the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, no one else is invincible.
Genghis Khan took his children and grandchildren all the way,
More than forty countries were laid on horseback, with a total of about 700 ethnic groups and a population of 600 million
。 The European powers of today's grandeur trembled at the time when they heard the names of the Mongol army.
Therefore, the claim that Genghis Khan laid half the earth is not a lie, and his conquest territory has been removed from it
Pakistan to the south to Sakhalin Island to the east, to the Arctic Circle to the north, and Pakistan to the west.
Such a big circle, you can imagine how powerful Genghis Khan is, right?
Even so, Genghis Khan was not satisfied, and when he was in his sixties, he rode on horseback to fight himself. It can be seen from this that no matter how big the world is, it cannot afford Genghis Khan's non-stop hooves. Unfortunately, Genghis Khan died of his wounds at the age of sixty-four, otherwise, the scope of his empire might be more than half the world.
Genghis Khan can have such a record, these aspects have to be mentioned
Although Genghis Khan's achievements are true, why did he have such great achievements? Everyone has two hands, two feet, and a head, so why is he so invincible, who has not read any books?
This may be related to the origin of Genghis Khan, who himself was born into a family of Mongol chiefs and experienced the reality of you fighting for each other from an early age. Wasn't his eldest son rumored to be the blood of his enemies? It can be seen that in the heart of Genghis Khan,
The most important thing in life is victory, and the cost is never calculated.
At the same time, the environment in which Genghis Khan grew up had doomed his fighting mentality. A person who grows and struggles on the battlefield for a long time will achieve a different will from ordinary people.
Genghis Khan not only allowed himself to have a strong physique to adapt to the capital of fighting immediately, but also paid attention to the quality training of the army.
Genghis Khan's team was always there
One man with three horses
Yes, tired of one horse immediately replaced by another, there is no claim that the battle is stopped because of the loss of the horse, or that it ends in defeat. In this case, Genghis Khan's team became a team that did not fight an unprepared war.
Look at the sound nature of Genghis Khan's team:
A complete set of supply and supply systems, grain, horse grass, weapons, and supplies should be specially responsible for one organization.
At the same time, Genghis Khan also established the world's first military staff, which is said to have been successful because of his own combat staff. Napoleon, on the other hand, was six hundred years later than Genghis Khan.
Other than that
Only going in and out is also the reason why Genghis Khan achieved so much.
In the battles he had fought, only once did he voluntarily retreat because the difference in strength between the two armies was too great. If the troops allowed, Genghis Khan would never allow his own troops to retreat. For example, when attacking Western Xia, Genghis Khan swore not to retreat under the condition of high fever, and as a result, the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty was forced to make peace.
Of course, one thing has to be said that a large part of Genghis Khan's achievements came from his fierce heart. He had a very cruel tactic, when he fought with Hua Lazimo, he could not attack the city for three years.
In the end, he used the captives of Hua Lazimo as a "shield", and finally forced the enemy army to be unable to bear to release arrows.
Finally, there was a turning point in the war.
This is a generation of natural pride, he has the perseverance that ordinary people can't, he has the battlefield experience of hundreds of battles, and he also has the fierceness that others do not have. At that time, he was wounded by an arrow and vowed to die and refused to retire, which shows his determination to achieve great things. Of course, he also paid a very heavy price for this, including his life.
epilogue:
When the Mongol Empire was famous, Genghis Khan was invincible in the world, and Genghis Khan, who was wounded by an arrow, also ushered in the end of his life. Only he knows that his inner ambition is far from over, and his children and grandchildren still need to continue to move forward. But just with these achievements in his lifetime, it is enough to make it difficult for future generations to surpass, and it is enough to make the world impressed.
The life of Genghis Khan is legendary, and Napoleon, Hitler, Alexander, and Caesar are not to be mentioned in front of him. But his killing is also a heavy stroke of the historical record, according to statistics, genghis Khan slaughtered the number of cities in his lifetime is incalculable, and the number of people who died directly under his hands, or the people who died under his war, is not less than one hundred million.
