    At this point, you will also encounter many technical difficulties.  Literature Bar: Is the above wxba history of China or world history?  Or is it part of the connection between Chinese history and world history?  Although Genghis Khan used the dissuasion of Yelv Chucai, a Liao-born Jin minister, and did not "empty his people of North China as pastureland", he was not interested in the cultural relics of the Central Plains, and Yanjing was destroyed by him.

    In 1252, another grandson of Genghis Khan began his western expedition, conquered Persia and Mesopotamia, and established the "Ilkhanate" (in 1258) in today's Iran and Iraq; in 1252, another grandson of Genghis Khan  The "Ogedai Khanate" was established in Tacheng, Xinjiang today. Han China, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, fell into the hands of the descendants of Genghis Khan relatively late.

    (After occupying China, they also attacked Japan, Burma, Vietnam and Indonesia) In 1274, 10 years after Kublai Khan established his capital in Yanjing, he began to launch a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty almost collapsed in the next year  .

    The "Emperors and Ministers" of the Southern Song Dynasty persisted in failure for four or five years, and finally ended in the tragedy of Song general Lu Xiufu carrying the 6-year-old little emperor on his back, and because he did not want to be insulted by foreigners, he threw himself into the sea and died.

    Prior to this, Kublai Khan had established the Yuan Empire in 1271, merging Mongolia, Xixia, Jin, Song and Dali Kingdom (Yunnan) into the Yuan Dynasty.

    At this time, the huge empire established by the Mongols was divided into six countries. After the Mongols (Yuan) destroyed the Song Dynasty, they implemented brutal rule and divided the domestic ethnic groups into four categories: Mongols, Semu people, Han people, and Southerners (population ratio: 100  Ten thousand, 1 million, 10 million, 60 million).  And the subjects were divided into 10 categories: one official, two officials, three monks, four Taoists, five doctors, six workers, seven hunters, eight prostitutes, nine scholars, and ten beggars.

    After Mongolia conquered the Central Plains area north of the Yellow River, the Mongolian nobles Biedie suggested to Ogedai Khan: "The Han people are of no benefit to the Great Mongolia. These Han people can be cleared out and the Central Plains turned into pasture." Fortunately, Yelu Chucai  His advice prevented a massacre.

    In 1162, Genghis Khan was born into a noble family of the Jijin clan in Qiyanbor, Mongolia.  His father Yesugei Atu'er was the chief of the Nilun tribe.

    Mother Hoelun was originally the fianc¨¦e of Chiledu, the younger brother of the chief of the Meerqiti tribe.  On the way to get married, he was kidnapped by his father.

    The day Genghis Khan was born, his father led his tribe to attack the Tatar tribe and returned triumphantly. In order to show off his victory in capturing two chiefs alive and plundering many properties and livestock, it was time for Adul to simply change the name of one of the chiefs -  Temujin gave him his son.  Temujin means "fine steel" in Mongolian.

    Temujin spent his childhood in turmoil.  At that time, the Mobei prairie was full of tribes.

    In order to compete for grasslands, pastures, livestock, etc., various tribes "fight and kill each other", just like what is described in "The Secret History of Mongolia": "The starry sky rotates. The tribes are fighting incessantly, sleeping without time, robbing and plundering everywhere  The wish cannot be realized, and there is no way to escape and retreat. There is no way to enjoy peace, only to fight and fight.¡±

    When Temujin was 6 years old, his father was poisoned to death by the Tatars.  Because his father's subordinates deserted the family one after another and forcibly took away some of the people and livestock, Temujin's family ended up relying on digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

    The harsh living environment left a deep imprint on Temujin¡¯s young mind, and at the same time honed his brave, stubborn, and persevering character.

    His mother often taught him the glory of his ancestors and the wealth and power of his father when he was alive.  He also encouraged him to revive his family business and take revenge when he grows up.  Just as Temujin gradually matured into a tall and handsome young man, three disasters unexpectedly befell him.

    The first time was: the Taichiwu tribe who broke away from their family was worried about Temujin's revenge when he grew up, so they launched a raid on Temujin's family.  And planned to execute the captured Temujin.  Fortunately, Temujin escaped with the help of a kind-hearted old man.

    The second time was: on a snowy night, a group of thieves robbed his family of the few horses they had.  During the fight with the thieves, Temujin was shot in the throat.  In times of crisis, a young man named Borshu drew his sword to help.  The thieves were driven away and the horses were recaptured.  Temujin escaped death.

    The third time was: Toheitua, the chief of the Merqiti tribe, raided Temujin's camp in order to avenge his brother's fianc¨¦e Hoelun who was robbed by Temujin's father.  In the melee, Temujin fled into Mount Burhan, but his wife and half-mother became prisoners of Tohetoa.

    However, the three disasters did not defeat Temujin, but instead strengthened his desire for revenge.  He vowed to regain everything his family had lost.  Temujin knew very well that in order to gain a foothold, he must have strength.

    So, he dedicated the most precious sable fur in his wife¡¯s dowry to Wang Han, the most powerful tribal leader on the grassland at that time.  Using Wang Han's power, Temujin not only gathered themThe scattered tribes, with the help of Wang Han and his childhood "Anda" (sworn brother) Jamuka, defeated the Merqiti tribe and rescued his wife and half-mother.

    After defeating Meerqid, Temujin's reputation grew.  Many people realized that he had a "master's character" and was a "handsome talent", so they defected to him one after another.  The ambitious Temujin also understood the importance of popular support and paid special attention to winning over people.  For example, when hunting, he often drove wild animals to other people's hunting grounds and actively distributed the prey to people from neighboring tribes. After each victory in a battle, he allowed the participants to enjoy a share of the capture; "subordinates" and slaves immediately  If you achieve meritorious service, you can still be classified as a retainer; for the defeated tribes, it is not simply a matter of killing them.  As a result, Temujin gradually became famous for his generosity and benevolence, and a group of talents who were good at governing political affairs, brave in battle, strict in guarding, and skilled in animal husbandry, driving cars, and cooking chefs came to his name one after another.  His influence and strength have surpassed that of his father.

    For Temujin, 1189 was a turning point.  This year, he was elected as the joint chief of several tribes - "Hehan".

    But he was not satisfied with this.  Because he understood that in order to consolidate and expand his power, to get rid of the control of the nobles, and to guard against the invasion of other tribes, he must have a strong army.  So, he set out to form a bodyguard that was loyal to him.

    As Temujin expected, not long after he became "Hehan", Jamuka, who had become "Anda" with him, began to hate him.  In 1195, Jamukha gathered more than 30,000 people from 13 tribes to attack Temujin on the pretext that his younger brother was killed by Temujin's men.  Temujin also mobilized 30,000 people from the Thirteen Wings (13 tribes) to attack.

    Although Temujin was defeated in the first battle and retreated to the Zhelena area on the banks of the Onon River, what he never expected was that the victorious Jamukha lost the hearts of the people.  Because he put to death everyone who fell into his hands.  This horrific scene made even his subordinates "suffer a lot from the illegality of their master" and even worried about their own fate.

    On the contrary, the generous and benevolent Temujin won the hearts of the people, and those of Jamukha's subordinates who were worried about their own fate turned to Temujin one after another.  Temujin's followers suddenly increased significantly.

    As his power continues to grow, Temujin's desire to dominate various Mongolian tribes has become stronger.  So he began to take the initiative.

    In 1196, in order to avenge the murder of his father, he made an appointment with Wang Han to help the Jin Dynasty attack the Tatar tribe, kill its chief, and return with a great victory.

    From 1197 to 1200, he defeated the Merqid people and killed their leaders Sachabeqi and Taichu.

    In 1201, Jamukha was elected as "Gurhehan" (the common leader of the world) by 11 tribes including Hedajin, Duoerbian, Wengjira, etc., and he also planned to attack Temujin and Wanghan.  Because Temujin had received intelligence in advance and made careful arrangements, Jamuka returned with a great defeat.  Later, Temujin destroyed the Taichiwu tribe.
