Today we are going to talk about a controversial historical figure in history, whose name was known to everyone at the time, but many more people will tremble with fear when they hear his name at that time.
He is the feared Genghis Khan, who led the tribal army to conquer the four directions and established the Great Mongol Empire, and on the battlefield he seems to be a "king" born to fight and win.
But such a king-like figure, when he occupies a city, there are three kinds of people who will not take his life, and it is precisely because of this that his methods are more feared. What are the three kinds of people that Genghis Khan would not kill? What are they afraid of?
As the saying goes, "at the beginning of man, nature is good", the ruthless Genghis Khan we heard later was not like this when he was a child, but after more than ten years of tracking and assassination on the steppe, he had to become like this in order to survive.
The prairie is different from the hinterland, and there is very little food to eat on the prairie, so the herders on the prairie live in a migratory prairie, and may live in a different place every day.
Therefore, in this huge steppe, in the limited resources of the environment, only kings who are strong enough can survive here, and Genghis Khan is no different.
Genghis Khan was born in the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, his father was the leader of the tribe, and it stands to reason that he should be "a tiger father without a dog", but Genghis Khan was a timid and cowardly character when he was a child.
However, Genghis Khan's father still had high hopes for this son, otherwise he would have named him Temujin when he was born, hoping that he would become a refiner of iron.
Unfortunately, what people never expected was that Genghis Khan's father should have been assassinated by other tribes on the way back when he was nine years old because he was going to talk to him about marriage.
Without a leader in the tribe and without a pillar in the family, Genghis Khan's mother and son had a very difficult life, and in addition, in order to prove their status and ability, men in ancient times would take their beautiful wives as concubines after eliminating other tribal leaders.
After the assassination of the leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, the power of the tribal leader fell into the hands of the Taichiwu tribe, and Genghis Khan's mother had to take him to the 9-year-old on the road of exile.
This upheaval also made Genghis Khan deeply realize that there is no absolute fairness in the world, only the survival of the fittest.
In order to stop living this dark life without a permanent residence and protect his mother, Genghis Khan understood that only by making himself strong could he change the current situation.
So Genghis Khan's studies became more assiduous, and he picked up the martial arts skills that his father had taught him before his death, and he was also familiar with various military books.
The timid and cowardly Genghis Khan of the past is completely gone, and he knows that if he wants the Mongolian Qiyan tribe to make a comeback, it is not enough to rely on his own skills, he needs to regroup the scattered tribal forces back.
To this end, Genghis Khan approached his father's old subordinates, hoping that he could help him re-assemble a new alliance.
Genghis Khan, who was already gifted and intelligent, soon established a new alliance with the assistance of his predecessors, and the scale of the organization's power continued to expand in a "rocket".
The emergence of such a powerful force in the steppe quickly attracted the attention of other tribes, and this time, how would Genghis Khan begin his "Jedi counterattack"?
The emergence of a strong team also means that there is another force on the prairie that wants to "share the soup", but the resources of the grassland are limited after all, and everyone does not want to share more of this cup of "soup".
In such a situation, war is the most straightforward solution for them, and whoever is the victor has the right to rule the prairie.
After growing up, Genghis Khan is no longer the little boy who used to be slaughtered by others, and now his biggest goal is to conquer the people on the steppe and become the "king" of the steppe.
So Genghis Khan began to fight everywhere, constantly expanding the scope of his rule through wars, so that the people of the steppe submitted to him.
Gradually, Genghis Khan's tribe expanded larger and larger, and his reputation in the steppes grew, but more people were afraid of him.
In the eyes of people, Genghis Khan was a "warlike" demon king, whose hands were stained with the lives and blood of many people, and he was a terrible demon.
Although Genghis Khan is an out-and-out "big demon king" in everyone's eyes, he himself does not care, and his desire to win has not diminished, and after the unification of Mongolia, he set his sights on the Central Plains.
Genghis Khan, who was becoming more and more ambitious, began to lead his tribal team north to the Central Plains to crusade, and even the last moment of his life was on the battlefield of the western expedition.
But what is puzzling is that although such a "belligerent" Great Demon King has slashed the lives of many people, he will never move the lives of these three people, and it is even more terrifying after knowing which three kinds of people they are.
Genghis Khan's first type of person who could not be killed was a child who was not yet as tall as a wheel.
Genghis Khan fought for many years, and if he encountered an enemy with children who were not as tall as wheels, he would not have killed them, because the memory of the children's brains at this time had not yet fully developed.
They will not remember these unreasonable things, nor will they have a sense of revenge against Genghis Khan, and Genghis Khan can use them to train them to be used by the Mongols.
Genghis Khan's second type of person who could not be killed was women.
Since ancient times, women have played an important role in the reproduction of offspring in the world, and many people are killed in every war.
Genghis Khan also recognized the importance of women, if a country and a nation did not have women, then he would not be far from extinction, and it was precisely because of this that Genghis Khan would not hurt women's lives wherever he went.
Genghis Khan's third type of person who could not kill was the craftsman.
Nomads like Genghis Khan's who live in the steppes are very lacking in handicrafts compared to the Central Plains, and Genghis Khan can provide him with some convenience in his conquest, especially in terms of **.
Judging from various strategies, it can be seen that Genghis Khan did not rely on "barbarism" to rule Mongolia, and his "keeping people under the sword" is also an important strategy for him to win the war.
Although Genghis Khan later died on the battlefield of the Western Expedition, his achievements for the great cause of the Mongol Empire allowed his descendant Kublai Khan to conquer the Yuan Dynasty and was enshrined as "Yuan Taizu".
Whether Genghis Khan was as barbaric as the rumors in history suggested, it is undeniable that his military talents were outstanding, and even in world history, he was a figure of profound influence.
