Turkish-Mongol Emperor: Genghis Khan (2)
If they accepted the rule of Genghis Khan, there was no war, only that region or city was taxed, and it was obligatory to give a certain amount of soldiers to Genghis's army when desired.
Western historians; They compared the murders, genocides and massacres committed by European emperors, kings, commanders, soldiers, explorers and other rulers for robbery, looting and seizure, with the material benefit they obtained.
They heroized it because the commercial benefits outweighed the western world. However, each of them had murdered tens of millions of people in the most ruthless way, with their conquests just for robbery, and wiped out their descendants. But they were made heroic because they made the European countries that commissioned them rich without limits. They were sanctified. However, they preferred to highlight only their brutality, without seeing any of the achievements of Genghis Khan, who established the largest empire in history without losing any war and applied the same fair laws equally to all the societies he dominated.
While Genghis Khan was conquering countries, he was doing politics by combining his courage and intelligence. First of all, he insisted that he accept my rule by sending emissaries to the rulers of every community he wanted to dominate. He said that if you do not accept, we will fight, if we fight, I will definitely beat you and then I will punish you and plunder your city.
If they accepted the rule of Genghis Khan, there was no war, only that region or city was taxed, and it was obligatory to give a certain amount of soldiers to Genghis's army when desired.
More than half of the empire thus voluntarily joined the Genghis empire, thus saving their cities from plunder and destruction. If the leaders of the community did not accept the offer and replied that I will fight and destroy you too, war was declared on that country. At that time, a chosen city of this country was especially plundered, and those who could not escape were killed.
The news of a city that had been plundered in this way was deliberately spread by Genghis Khan's men to all nearby areas, thereby instilling a systematic fear. Genghis Khan used today's psychological operations tactics or strategic communication methods very well.
With this policy, they frightened many societies and captured them without a war...
They took those they fought under their dominance by fighting and defeating them one on one, without resorting to any treachery.
Some societies, who saw how they established a just administration in the countries they conquered, did not resist, but the rulers dragged their people to war in order not to lose their seats. The fear he spread with such a planned policy was then greatly exaggerated by historians. It was written that tens of millions of massacres were carried out with abnormal numbers. In other words, all of Genghis Khan's actions are the ideals of all leaders and conquerors who have come and gone in the history of the West, but could not achieve or achieve.
The lands of Mongolia, which removed a great leader like Genghis and the commander, could only be brought under Russian domination during the Soviet Union. Soviet communist authorities began to punish local officials who "idealized the role of Genghis Khan" in Mongolia. They even dismissed the Mongolian politician Tomor-ochir for supporting the 800th anniversary celebrations of Genghis Khan. They accused him of being nationalist. They were exiled, then killed with an ax.
Apart from that, they imprisoned those who tried to write the history of the Mongol Empire. They sentenced historians, teachers, artists, poets and scientists who worked for this purpose to exile, punishment and execution. The reason why the Russian state continued to take revenge on the Mongols and Tatars even in the 20th century is shown as the Golden Horde state, which is a Turkish Mongolian state, taxed and ruled Russia and Ukraine for nearly 300 years.
However, after the ALTINORDU state collapsed, the Moscow Principality was able to emerge as an independent Russian society. For this reason, they did not take kindly to the Golden Horde and its origins, including Mongolia, which caused the Russians to appear late on the stage of history, and reflected the hatred of centuries to Mongolia.
