Gheghis Khan (1160 AD - 1227 AD)

Ghegis Khan was born in Dadale. At the time of his birth his father was in battle with Tatars (塔塔尔). And Gheghis Khan’s father won the battle. In memory of his victory against Tatars he named his son Tie Muzhen (铁木真).

When Tie Muzhen was 9 years old, his father was poisoned by the Tatar nationality. As a result, the Boerzhiji clan lost their leader, and the clansman dispersed one after another. The family had to make their livings by fishing and picking wild fruits. Still, some forces like Taiyichiwu didn't let them pass, and they were afraid about the Tie Muzhen brothers growth, they would revive their family force, and that would be a threat to their status and interests. Thus, they sent arms to capture Tie Muzhen, and wanted to "cut the weeds and dig up the roots” and put an end to the future trouble.

Fortunately, Tie Muzhen was saved by a kind-hearted man, and escaped from danger. In such difficult and dangerous environment, Tie Muzhen's family had endured all hardships, but at the same time, his willpower was tempered, and his brave and fearless spirit in fighting was cultivated. The adamant mother Keelun always told Tie Muzhen brothers the importance of tenacity and diligence, and let them know the truth that "Solidarity is force". Thus, Tie Muzhen made up his mind that he would avenge his father. Later, with the help of his father's sworn brother Wang Han, he gathered his men, accumulated his forces and started his carving out process.

In 1185, he defeated Mieerqi. In 1189, he was elected as Khanby the noble class of Qiyan family. After that, he spent more than ten years on expedition; in 1205, he finally united the whole Mongolian Grassland. In 1206, all the clans of Mongol held a Huliletai in the riverhead of Hunan River , and Tie Muzhen was elected as Khan of the whole Mongols. He was called Genghis Khan, who set up the Mongolian Nation.

Then, on one hand, Genghis Khan began to constitute the systems in politics, laws and taxes, and established the organs of the nation; on the other hand, he also deployed large-ranged operations, and fought westward and southward. From 1207 to 1227, he was engaged in wars, and destroyed Xiliao, Hualazimo, and Western Xia dynasty. He also defeated Jin's army and seized hold of its capital Zhongdu.
