This is part 6 in our Series on the Life of Genghis Khan.
After establishing the institutions that form the foundation of "The Great Mongol Nation", Genghis Khan and the people enjoy 4 years of peace. The Jurched in China make a political play to subjugate the Mongols but the Clans respond by declaring war.
This story gives us an excellent primer on great leadership, with insight into the deliberative process the Mongols followed to plan for war. When the Mongols march South into China, the Jurched mocked them, thinking there was no way the impoverished nation of Mongolia could beat them. They soon learned a hard lesson.
The Mongols engage in a masterful campaign that involves psychological warfare followed by simultaneous military strikes across the region to create the most confusion and chaos. New tools and fighting tactics are developed by the Mongols with a mindset of Total Victory. This was a fun episode to research!
