From Orphaned Father to Eurasian Hegemon

In the Mobei grassland in the twelfth century, the strong preyed on the weak, and friendship was frivolous. Wind, snow, and fighting were the eternal background. Temujin, a young man who once enjoyed the glory of his tribe, suffered an upheaval in his fate when he was nine years old. His father was soon to be poisoned by the Tatars and died suddenly. In an instant, the Qiyan tribe was leaderless, and the Taichiwu tribe of the same tribe took the opportunity to seize power and usurp the throne. All the tribesmen who had surrendered in the past defected. The centuries-old tribal totems were trampled and burned, and the prosperous camp was reduced to a mess. Overnight, Temujin went from a noble young tribal leader to a bereaved orphan hunted throughout the country. He, his mother, brothers and sisters were completely abandoned. They had no pasture, no cattle or sheep, no shelter, and were in a desperate situation. In order to avoid the relentless pursuit of the Taichiwu tribe, a family of eight fled into the dangerous and desolate mountains of Burhan, struggling to survive in the desperate situation of cold hunger, wild beasts, and endless pursuit of soldiers. In order to protect his family and face the desperate situation, Temujin broke through the loose shackles of blood ties and relationships, established order with reason, built teams with division of labor, and set rules with military discipline, and established the first regularized cooperative combat unit in the grassland with his brothers. He personally confirmed the truth of troubled times: disorder is the root of destruction, and discipline is the basis of survival. Even if his relatives are domineering, they must be punished according to the rules, completely establishing the underlying logic of running an army. From the lonely orphan hiding in the mountains, to the iron-blooded overlord who rules the grasslands, to the unparalleled hero who sweeps across Europe and Asia. This book is based on the growth trajectory of a real teenager. It does not talk about empty epics, but only describes the whole process of surviving in desperate situations, sharpening one's hands and feet, gathering momentum, and counterattacking to break the situation. It witnesses how Temujin endured the humiliation of wind and snow, broke fate, established order, and created hegemony with a mortal body, and wrote a thousand-year legend across Europe and Asia.
