Mao Zedong wrote in "Qinyuan Chun Xue": "The Qin Emperor Han Wu slightly lost literary style; Tang Zong Song Zu was slightly inferior. A generation of heavenly pride, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow to shoot large eagles.
What level does this level of evaluation of Genghis Khan belong to?
Mao Zedong felt that it was a pity that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly less talented in literature; Tang Taizong and Song Taizu were slightly inferior to Wenzhi. Genghis Khan, the dominant figure, only knew how to draw a bow and shoot a large eagle. Is this really the case?
According to historical records, Genghis Khan unified the desert north, annihilated the Western Xia, attacked the Jin Dynasty, and conquered Huarazm in the west, was a famous military expert, and at the same time founded the free trade system.
Later generations have a very high opinion of him:
1. Europeans and Americans: The most outstanding military strategists and brilliant intellectuals in the history of mankind; the founder of the human legal society, the first person to establish the free trade system; and the formulator of the continental map of the old world.
2, the Arabs: his empire is four times larger than Alexander, twice as large as the Roman Empire, but he is still dissatisfied with this because he claims to be the master of mankind, and the whole world should be attributed to him until the death of Munch Khan; Genghis Khan was the first person in the history of human warfare to attack the city with artillery, so later generations renamed this weapon mortar; he commanded nearly 300 battles in his lifetime, was the commander who participated in the most wars in human history, and almost every victory and victory never lost. Military genius who often wins with less and wins more with the weak;
3, the Japanese: Genghis Khan is the only military commander in military history who can win with a great detour policy of giving up the near and seeking far, and the so-called genius must have something extraordinary; he is the first person to divide the world's people into three categories.
For the Mongols, he is the Holy Lord, with the heavens, the founder of Mongolia, the one who laid the map of China, the one who believes in them, and the leader of their souls.
For future generations, he is still an ambitious leader, and many times everyone will think that if you give him a map of the world, there may be no one else to do now.
In my opinion, his exploits do not fully reflect his full talents, and perhaps the shooting eagle is just a way for him to show his ambition, a desire to conquer a wider field.
