Genghis Khan, Mongolian Khan Temujin, is known as an outstanding politician and strategist in the world history. Since the establishment of the Great Mongolian Empire in the spring of12006, he has launched many wars of foreign conquest, stretching from the Black Sea coast in Central Asia to Eastern Europe in the west.
In 12 15, Genghis Khan invaded Jindu, and the Mongolian army slaughtered unarmed civilians in the city for a month, killing more than 1 10,000 people.
In A.D. 122 1 year, Temujin marched westward to Samarkand, and 50,000 Mongolian fighters passed by, and another crazy massacre began. About120,000 ordinary people were killed. Killing people is like killing pigs and sheep. It is terrible to ignore human life.

The significance of Temujin's bloodthirsty:
As a nomadic grassland people, their livelihood depends on cattle, sheep and horses as the source of wealth. On the other hand, livestock feed on aquatic plants. So the Mongols live a life of chasing weeds. The number of aquatic plants determines the number of cattle and sheep, and the number of cattle and sheep determines the number of people. The natural environment determines the rise and fall of the tribe. This determines the ideological differences between Mongolians and other farming nationalities at that time.
When Temujin put down the war of Mongolian tribes' external expansion (the expansion of agricultural nationalities), he encountered a problem: how to control the people in the occupied areas? It takes a process for a regime to change from one ideology to another (from nomadism to farming) or to accommodate another ideology with one ideology, which takes time.
Because Mongolia's mighty fighters rapidly expanded the empire's territory, those in power suddenly had no good way to rule a large territory with farming culture. Temujin and his people are a people who are extremely superstitious about force and power. Because people in the war zone are afraid of rebellion, they use the simplest method to "slaughter" and weaken the power of the occupied territory to stabilize the situation.
Judging from the purpose of killing, I think that if the soldiers of the six countries are put back, these people will attack Qin again, so it is better to kill them all to eliminate the future trouble. So he killed 450,000 Zhao troops in Changping World War I and 200,000 in Xin 'an by Xiang Yu. History repeats itself once again, only on a larger scale and bloodier.
