About This Novel
"The World Conquest of the Mongol Empire", on the one hand, focuses on the inner state of the Mongol Empire and its spiritual origin: as a form of life opposed to agricultural life, this was the last prosperous era of the nomadic lifestyle. On the other hand, in addition to cultural factors, the history of the Mongolian Empire is also a racial history. The Mongolian nation constitutes the core of the Great Mongol race or the yellow race. This is an indispensable aspect for our study of Genghis Khan's empire. In terms of content, "The World Conquest of the Mongol Empire" not only fully narrates and depicts the history at that time, but also makes a comprehensive and profound prediction of the development of world trends. Not only can we explore the impact of Genghis Khan and the world empire he established on the entire world - this period of history can no longer be limited to one nation, but we can also comprehensively consider the extensive impact of Genghis Khan and his steppe empire on the world's military, politics, economy, culture and other aspects from the geographical environment and other aspects. This is of great benefit to our understanding of the changing pattern of world history.

The reading experience of the book about Genghis Khan written by Germans is not very good. I am not sure what the style of the original text is. The translated version reads in the style of a narrative poem. It is not fluent enough when it comes to biography, and lacks textual research when it comes to history. The level of Chinese translation is also quite erratic. The beginning is a magic stick style, and the middle is a smooth vernacular, but the last chapter is quite a stroke of genius🙄 Overall, after reading this book, you will feel that the Mongolian Empire was actually an "accident" - the Mongolian Plateau in a broad sense has both abundant water and grass and a vast and cold regional climate, which has given birth to many tough and sturdy nomadic peoples. Because of these regional characteristics, these nomadic peoples are brave and good at fighting but lack civilization. Their conquests are not motivated by lofty political ideals, but pure survival needs. Therefore, there is only killing without construction, only cruelty without mercy. Even the tribes on the Mongolian Plateau are killing each other in this way. The Mongolian Plateau is like a stage. Each tribe has a protagonist who is almost the protagonist of a certain scene. It is also like an open book. Each tribe has only a few pens, but the pages must be turned after all. Even the Yuan Dynasty never established a very logical and self-consistent political system and quickly collapsed. However, the rulers did not care. They seemed to accept this fate - because their goal was always the killing itself, not long-term possession after the killing. So they very calmly returned to their original hometown from various parts of Asia, and returned to herding horses and sheep from living in a state of dissatisfaction. They were indulged in the illusion of the afterlife, and even willingly alienated themselves from the progress of modern civilization. It's also quite interesting.
