Features: "Biography of Genghis Khan" Genghis Khan was not only a statesman and military leader who achieved great historical feats but also committed crimes of killing innocent people during his westward expansion. This book comprehensively organizes and analyzes the historical process of Genghis Khan's growth, his victory over Jamukha and Wang Khan, his subjugation of the Western Regions, his rapid destruction of the Western Xia, the unification of Northern China, and his subsequent attacks on the Xia and Jin dynasties, as well as his westward campaign in Central Asia, from the perspective of historical materialism. It also systematically studies the process of Kublai Khan, a descendant of the Mongol pastoral, gradually transforming into a feudal ruler with an open mind and capable of adapting to the economic development requirements of the feudal landlord economy in the Central Plains. It elaborates on the contributions of Kublai Khan, as an outstanding political leader of a minority ethnic group, in learning "Chinese law," implementing "Chinese law," unifying China, and innovating reforms. At the same time, this book points out that the reformist ideas and implementation of "Chinese law" by Kublai Khan, who was born into a pastoral family, had great limitations. He was a great emperor of Chinese origin with deep of the pastoral.
