Chapter 469: Growing Up Hard

Genghis Khan is a legend, and the reason why he was able to fight in Eurasia I think it is related to his life experience, for example, Genghis Khan was born in the second year of Jin Shizong's Dading, and then because his father was killed, his department was scattered. After continuous efforts, he united with Zamuhe and his father's Antatu Lingle, reorganized the Qiyan tribe, and finally slowly developed and unified Mongolia. At that time, the northern region of present-day China was under the rule of the Jurchen Jin Dynasty. The northern and southern grasslands of the desert are separate and do not belong to each other. The Jin Dynasty implemented a policy of "divide and rule" and "reduce the number of dings" by massacring and plundering.

In 1146, the Mongol leader Baba Khan was crucified on a wooden donkey by Jin Xizong in the name of "punishing rebels". The Mongol tribal confederation has organized many revolts, for which generations of their ancestors have paid with their blood and lives. Temujin, who was born in this social environment, naturally regarded the victory of the Jin Kingdom as the main goal of his life.

He had always kept this hatred in his heart, and it was this vendetta that led to a long period of warfare in and around the steppes, and Temujin's mother, Lady Khaelun, was born in the Hongjira tribe and married the Mi'er beggar Chiliedu. In the autumn of 1161, the leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe was also hunting on the banks of the Nan River and found the Heerlun who passed through the Mongolian station. With the assistance of several brothers, according to the tradition of "snatching relatives" at that time, he defeated the beggars and snatched Mrs. Kha Erlun, so Hel Lun became the wife of Yessu.

The following year, he captured the Tatar chieftain Temujin Uq, and it was at this time that his first son was born. In order to celebrate the victory in the war, it was time to name his newborn eldest son "Temujin". When Temujin was nine years old, his father was poisoned by Temujin's son, Zarin. After his death, Tarihutai of the tribe of the Baba Khan Sun Tai Chi Wu took the opportunity to stir up trouble and incited the Mongols to abandon Temujin's mother and son, causing his family to fall from the position of tribal leader into the abyss of misery.

When Temujin was eighteen years old, his former enemy, the Minister of Tokhtar, snatched his wife. Temujin waged war on the Mir beggars and defeated the Mir beggars. Around 1184, Temujin was elected Khan of the Mongol Beggars.

Temujin's claim to Khan aroused the jealousy of the ambitious Anda (sworn brother) Zamuha, who together with the Tatars, Taichigu, and other thirteen tribes launched the "Battle of the Thirteen Wings" against Temujin. It was the only defeat in more than 60 wars in his lifetime.

As his power grew, Temujin began to seek revenge on the enemy who had killed his father. Defeated the lord's begging department, killed its leader, and the general Mu Huali and his son surrendered. Houmu Huali became Temujin's first general, and was named the king of Taishi, allowing him to pass through the Central Plains alone.

The nobles of the steppe tribes feared the rise of Temujin and elected Zamuhe as the "Gul Khan", that is, the Khan of the Khans, and swore to be Temujin's enemy. They formed a coalition of 12 armies and launched the Battle of Koyitian against Temujin and the Kereh. The rabble led by Zamuh could not withstand the fierce blows of the combined forces of King Temujin Khan, and in less than a day they collapsed, and Zamuh surrendered to King Khan. Temujin then attacked the Tatars, and his leader, Zalin, committed suicide by poisoning, and another Tatar leader surrendered. Temujin pursued the Tai Chi Vul, and was shot in the neck by the Tai Chi Vultures during the command of the battle, and his life was in danger. Early the next morning, the Taichivuls surrendered to Temujin.

The fall of the Taichigu tribe removed a huge obstacle to Temujin's further unification of the Mongol tribes, and several of his subordinates, such as the archers Jebe and Nayaa, became Temujin's right-hand men and heroes in conquering the world. Later, it was they who went on an expedition to Western Liao to eliminate Qu Zhulu, and in the first Western Expedition, Jebe and Subutai played the most special role, they were the ones who chased the Sultan, they were the ones who captured the Empress Dowager Bald Han alive, and they were also the ones who defeated the Grand Duke of Ruskov.

In the autumn of 1202, Temujin concentrated his forces and eliminated his old enemy, the Tatars. In the autumn of 1203, Temujin attacked the Golden Horde of Wang Khan, who had been fighting with him, and Wang Khan's father and son were defeated. In 1204, Temujin conquered the barbarian tribe.

Wang Khan wanted to defect to the Naiman tribe alone, but was killed by the border generals as a spy on the border of Naiman, and his son Sangkun died in a foreign land.

The powerful Kereh tribe was wiped out, and Temujin occupied the eastern steppe, the Hulunbuir grassland, which was rich in water and grass. In the Mongolian steppe, only the Naiban tribe was left with the strength to fight against Temujin, and the nobles of the various tribes who were defeated by Temujin gathered in the court of Naiban Khan, trying to regain their lost cattle, sheep and pastures with the support of Sun Khan. However, the people of the steppe did not want a repeat of the situation of the tribes, and the "Sun Khan" who had not been in battle was also vulnerable.

And this has a great relationship with the difference between Genghis Khan and Temujin when he was born, especially among the people, it is deeply associated with this, because on April 16 of the second year of Jin Shizong, Genghis Khan was born in the Mobei grassland. Genghis Khan's father was the chief of his beggar department. The origin of his name "Temujin" is due to the fact that at the time of his birth, his father also happened to capture a warrior named Temujin Ugg, who belonged to the Tatar tribe. According to Mongol belief at the time, when a rival tribal warrior was caught, if a baby happened to be born, the warrior's courage would be transferred to the baby. This is where Genghis Khan's name "Temujin" comes from. Legend has it that when Genghis Khan was born, he was holding a blood clot in his hand, implying that the heavens would descend from heaven to hold the power of life and death.

On the way back from taking Temujin to Hongjirabu to marry, his father was killed by the Tatar tribe in a public rest place (suspected to have been poisoned), and then the leader of the Taichiwu clan of the Qiyan tribe, Talikutai, was dissatisfied with what he had done during his lifetime, and took revenge on the Temujin family after his death, and ordered his people to move to another place and isolate the Temujin family, with the aim of starving them to death, but the Temujin family survived with perseverance and resourcefulness.

Just as Temujin was gradually emerging into a burly and handsome young man, three calamities unexpectedly befell him.

The first time was: fearing that Temujin would grow up to take revenge, the Tachiwu clan raided Temujin's house and planned to have the captured Temujin executed. Temujin escaped with the help of his father's old subordinate Suo'er Hanshira, his sons Shen Bai and Chi Lao Wen, and his daughter Heda'an. As the eldest son, he had to take his mother and younger siblings to the Buerhan Mountains to escape the pursuit of the Taichiwu clan for several years, and since then he has formed his resolute and humiliating character.

The second time was: on a snowy night, a gang of thieves snatched the few horses he had from his family. During a fight with the thieves, Temujin was shot in the throat by the thieves. In times of distress, a young man named Borshu drew his sword to his aid, drove away the thieves, recaptured the horses, and Temujin was spared.

The third time was: when Temujin was an adult, when he married Polthe, the leader of the three beggar tribes, surnamed Mi'er, raided Temujin's camp in order to avenge the robbery of his brother Chiliedu's fiancée, Kha Erlun, by Temujin's father. During the scuffle, Temujin fled into Mount Bhuerhan (present-day Mount Kent), but his wife and half-mother were taken prisoner by Toheit.

Since then, Genghis Khan has slowly developed and grown with the assistance of others, and the so-called great calamity must have a blessing after death, so there is the theory of the god of war in the future.
