Chapter 472: Evaluation
As far as Asia is concerned, the author of the "History of the World Conquerors" Persian Zhifeni said: Alexander will also respect Genghis Khan as his teacher when he is alive. He believed that Allah Almighty made Genghis Khan brilliant in wisdom and made his swift mind and unlimited power the crown of kings on earth. So, although the history books record the implementation of the great ancient Kusa and the decrees of Pharaoh Caesar, Genghis Khan created something similar by his own brain, neither bothering to consult the literature nor bothering to follow the tradition. The strategy of conquering other countries, destroying the enemy's army, and promoting the deployment were all the results of his own understanding. Truth be told, if Alexander, who was good at strategizing and anticipating his enemies, had lived in the time of Genghis Khan, he would have been a student of Genghis Khan in terms of strategy, and he would have found that the best way to conquer the city was to blindly follow Genghis Khan.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto was a Genghis Khan fan. The results of Japan's annual survey of ideal bosses by the Japanese Personnel Institute recently released a surprise to investigators: the ideal boss in the minds of many new civil servants is not Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto, but Genghis Khan of China in the 13th century! In a training session, the Japanese government surveyed 520 new civil servants and asked them who their most admired boss was, and 79 people chose Genghis Khan. This is the first non-Japanese to top the list since a similar survey began in 1991. Officials in the Personnel Yuan said that many of the newly appointed civil servants saw Genghis Khan as "an organized leader, not just a conqueror." Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto finished ninth with only eight votes. However, he himself didn't care much about this, because he was also a Genghis Khan fan. Hashimoto's favorite book is a recently published novel about Genghis Khan and his family published in Japan.
Nehru: After the occupation of Korea and Tangut, Genghis Khan wanted to stop his expansion, and he did not intend to conquer the Western countries, but wanted to live in peace with the Khorezm Shah. But one of the Shah's governors killed the Mongol merchants, and in this case, Genghis Khan, still hoping for peace, sent a delegation to demand that the Mongol merchants be dealt with. Instead of agreeing to Genghis Khan's demands, the Shah killed the head of the mission, and the rest of the members were escorted out of the country with shaved beards. Genghis Khan, of course, could not tolerate such unreasonable behavior, and in 1219 he attacked and destroyed Khorezm. Many of the palaces of Bukhara and their millions of citizens were looted, and the capital, Samargan, was completely destroyed, leaving only 500,000 people. Over the years, the culture, civilization and handicrafts that had flourished in Central Asia were completely destroyed. Civilizations in Iran and Central Asia seem to have disappeared. Almost no one visited the place where Genghis Khan's horse's hooves went. Genghis Khan was portrayed as cruel, but compared to other conquerors of his time, it was no different. The Afghans who had come to India at that time were also cruel, but the scope of their occupation was different. The Afghans conquered Gazini in 1150 and killed all the men and the women as prisoners. Muhammad's famous palaces and buildings were destroyed. The series of acts of destruction that took place in India during the Afghan occupation were essentially no different from the destruction caused by Genghis Khan in Iran and Central Asia. The Shah killed Genghis Khan's messenger, which was a blood feud, so Genghis Khan attacked Khorezm and took revenge. Genghis Khan also carried out large-scale destruction elsewhere, but to a lesser extent than in Central Asia.
Bai Yang spoke highly of Genghis Khan in the "Outline of the History of the Chinese": "Temujin is one of the greatest organizers and military strategists in history, and his brilliant achievements on the zhengzhi and on the battlefield are few comparable to him before the twentieth century." Temujin was open-minded and magnificent, and he ruled over his empire, which was expanding every day, with a high degree of wisdom that enabled him to display his talents. ”
In the eyes of Europeans, the understanding of Genghis Khan is:
Napoleon said: I am inferior to Genghis Khan. Do not think that the Mongol invasion of Europe is a blind movement of scattered sand in Asia, this nomadic people, with their strict military organization and deliberate command, are much more savvy than their opponents. I am not as good as Genghis Khan, whose four tiger sons are vying to serve his father, and I have no such good fortune.
Hegel said of Genghis Khan that the Mongols used horse milk as a drink, so horses were their weapons of war and their nutritious food. Their long-term way of life is like this, but they often gather in large groups of people, and at any impulse they are stimulated into outward activities. Although they had been inclined to peace, they were now flooding into the land of civilization, and the result of a great chaos was nothing but devastation. Such an upheaval occurred when these tribes were led by Genghis Khan and Timur: they swept from the plateau to the trough, destroyed everything that existed, and retreated without a trace like a flash flood - there was absolutely no inherent principle of survival.
The British historian Wells, in his Compendium of World History, said: "The story of the Mongol conquest is indeed one of the best in all history." Alexander the Great's conquest cannot be compared with it in scope. His influence in spreading and expanding people's minds and stimulating their imaginations was enormous...... As a creative people, as disseminators of knowledge and methods, their influence on history is great". The General History of the World (The World Before 1500,) published in 1970, similarly emphasized that the Mongol invasion "fostered interaction between Eurasia" and concluded by saying: "The opportunities provided by this interaction were being fully exploited by the new civilization that was taking shape in Europe." This point has far-reaching significance, and to this day, it still has an impact on the course of world history"Seven or eight hundred years have passed, and the influence of Genghis Khan has not been dimmed by the passage of time. For the whole world, the impact after his death was far greater than before his death, and it penetrated into various fields such as zhengzhi, military, economy and culture, and the world's Genghis Khan fever appeared.
Professor François at the University of Garsang, Germany? Feng? Erdoman called Genghis Khan "the Indomitable King Temujin" and wrote in his book "The Indomitable King Temujin": "In Europa, as in West Asia, it is impossible not to re-establish the natural order." It is imperative that they wake up from their slumber in Europe and Asia, and that a strong hand is needed to shake them. Thus the mighty hand that shook them appeared, and this was the indomitable king Temujin and his descendants. In that way, they withdrew from the stage of history shortly after completing their supreme destiny of dominating the world. The fact that the Russians and the Germans and other nationals of Western Europe were able to reach the present level of strength and civilization was undoubtedly a stimulus and a gift for the Mongols and the Mongol conquests. ”
