Genghis+Khan

Chris Cusack Genghis Kahn, son of Yesügei had a very interesting life. He was a very successful Mongolian, military genius. Many of his long hard battles ended in victory. By the time he died, he had conquered almost all of Asia. In 1612 AD, he was born and even when he was young he was famous. His followers multiplied at a phenomenal rate and he became stronger with each conquer. Khutukhu was his adopted brother. Khutukhu was likely to be the author of the book __The Secret of__ __the Mongols__. This book was about the Mongol’s battle strategies and what they did. The name Genghis was spelled Genghis or Jengis. Before his name was Genghis, it was Temujin. Genghis Kahn had a very strict routine. While Genghis Kahn was in control of the Mongolian army. Before they went to battle a party of spies would be sent out. The spies captured enemies and brought them back to get information out of them. After the spies he sent scouts to find out weather conditions, water sources and terrain conditions. He also liked to have a lot of security. For security, Genghis made an elite bodyguard of 150 warriors by day and 80, warriors by night. Genghis Kahn liked to even out people’s responsibility. There was a time when he had 95,000 warriors and he made 95 of them new leaders for his army. He also made his brother chief of justice and gave him the responsibility of maintaining the Yasa. The Mongolian army was known for terror because when they went to a newly conquered place, they would slaughter whole cities. In 1211 AD at the age 49, he launched his first campaign against China. His battle with China was one of his biggest battles ever because not many armies could cross the Great Wall of China. He attacked China with 65,000 men. 30,000 of those men were handpicked. Genghis Kahn liked to have a trustworthy army. Nine years after the battle, the Mongols and the Chinese made peace. Genghis Kahn had many strict laws. Most of them were unfair. His first act of Kahn was to establish a formal organization to facilitate his rule and to ensure the efficient operation of all functions of tribal life. His rules were called Yasa which means order or decree in Mongolian. There was a time when if Mongol warriors were a certain height, they would be executed. Genghis Kahn had a lot of great accomplishments. First of all, he founded the largest land empire in history. In 1206 AD he held more than 1,000,000 people in a land bigger than today’s Europe. In 1211 AD he took personal control of the eastern army and that contributed to his very large army. It also helped him with his many battles that he fought. By the end of Battle with the Chinese, the Mongols had killed 70,000 Chinese warriors. He died in 1227 after defeating the Tungats. __Bibliography__ Rice, Earl Jr. __The story of Ghengis Kahn__ Greensboro, North Carolina Morgan Reynolds 2005 "Genghis Khan." //Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia//. 1 May 2008, 18:20 UTC.
