A generation of genius Genghis Khan fought on the battlefield throughout his life and established a magnificent empire across Europe and Asia. The establishment of the Mongol Empire can be said to have rewritten world history. It allowed for full exchanges and integration between the Eurasian continent, and was an important node in the rapid collision and integration of Eastern and Western cultures. At the same time, the feudal centralized system that has been constantly changing under the agricultural civilization of the East for more than a thousand years has pressed the pause button with the rule of the Mongol and Yuan Empire. The tough governance of the nomadic people and the tolerance and acceptance of multiculturalism have given Oriental civilization and traditional culture Injecting fresh elements, Genghis Khan inadvertently made him the Hand of God who changed the world.

Genghis Khan's success was inseparable from his outstanding political and military talents, and even more so from the brave fighting of his generals. They played an indispensable role in the establishment of the Mongol Empire. It was their bravery, adeptness in battle, and loyalty that made him so powerful. The vast Mongol Empire. Among them, there was a famous general who was born as a slave, and he was the leader. He could be said to be Genghis Khan's right-hand man. He was once praised by Genghis Khan as "just like a chariot has a shaft, and a body has arms." Today we talk about this great general who rose from slave to king, Muhuali .

Muhuali (1170~1223) was a member of the Zha La Yier tribe. His tribe was originally the slaves of Genghis Khan's cousin Sachabeqi. After Sachabeqi was executed, he surrendered to Genghis Khan. His father, Kongwen Kuwa, gave him to Genghis Khan Temujin as a slave when he was 14 years old. At this time, Temujin was in the early stages of his career. There were more than a dozen Mongolian tribes more powerful than him, but his tribe was gradually growing under his wise leadership. Set up camp at Xiaozhamu River. Jamuka Seeing that Temujin's power was growing so fast that it threatened him, he began to murder him. Temujin actually knew nothing about it. Fortunately, his clever Mrs. Borte saw Jamuka's trick. Temujin moved camp overnight.

Muhuali was 8 years younger than Temujin. It was at this time that he came to Temujin's camp and began to work as his personal bodyguard, just as a slave. In other words, Mu Huali has no autonomy over his own life. Whether he wants to kill or behead him depends entirely on Temujin. Mu Huali was born with supernatural powers. He has a black face and long arms. His arms are as long as those of an ape. He can draw a 240-pound bow and arrow. Whenever Mu Huali encounters a bloody battle, he will fight bravely and kill him. It is precisely because of his bravery that he has grown from an ordinary soldier to a general who can take charge of a party.

Temujin lost his tooth tent in the battle with Tatar tribe and encountered a snowstorm. Without saying a word, Muhuali and Borchi held up the felt for him, which lasted the whole night. When Temujin woke up in the morning and saw that Muhuali looked like an ice sculpture, he was instantly moved to tears.

Another time, Muhuali was following Temujin with only a few dozen cavalry around him. Suddenly he encountered hundreds of enemy cavalry. All of a sudden, the enemies all drew their bows and fired at them. Arrows were raining down. The situation was very critical. In this life-and-death situation, At this moment, Muhuali risked his own life, stepped forward on horseback, stood in front of Temujin, blocked his arrows, and at the same time calmly opened his bow, firing three arrows in a row, killing the enemy leader. For a moment, the enemy was stunned and retreated in a hurry, fearing that they would become the target of Muhuali's arrow, and tried to ensure Temujin's safe escape.

Under the protection of Muhuali, Temujin led his troops to eliminate the Tatar, Merqi, Naiman and other tribes, completing the unification of all Mongolian tribes. In 1206, Temujin became the leader of the people. The attention-grabbing Genghis Khan. Muhuali was named the chief of thousand households and the chief of 10,000 households on the right due to his outstanding military exploits. His jurisdiction included a vast area from the east of the Khan Court to the Halawen Mountain, and his descendants could be hereditary. Muhuali, together with Borshu, Borhu, Chilaowen, assisted Temujin with loyalty and bravery, and was known as "dorben-kuluhud" (dorben-kuluhud), which means "Four Heroes".

In 1213 AD, Temujin led 100,000 troops across the desert to attack the Jin Dynasty , The Battle of Yehuling . The Jin army had 400,000 troops, waiting for work, and there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.Mu Huali believed: "The enemy is outnumbered and we cannot fight to the death, and it is not easy to defeat him!"

In other words, the brave one wins when the two armies fight. As a result, Mu Huali led a death squad and launched a thunderous attack on the Jin army with horses and swords, defeating the Jin army in one fell swoop. The pre-war deployment of the Jin army commander Wanyan Chengyu was wiped out, creating a record of victory with few victories in Chinese history. The great victory in Yehuling also frightened Jinren .

In 1215 AD, a Mongolian caravan of more than 400 people was brutally killed in Khwarazmo in the Western Region. Genghis Khan decided to march westward and handed over the power to manage the Central Plains to Muhuali. Genghis Khan was far away from the Central Plains, and he also heard many slanderous rumors from villains, saying that Muhuali proclaimed himself king and conspired to rebel. Genghis Khan was very disdainful.

Muhuali could be said to be unstoppable in the process of attacking Jinchengchi, which laid a solid foundation for Mongolia's subsequent destruction of Jin. This was the most glorious moment in his life. The Mongolian army has always fought cruelly. Whenever it encountered resistance from the enemy and captured the enemy's city, it would massacre the city. Mu Huali realized that this strategy was not appropriate in dealing with the Jin people, and then prohibited the soldiers from killing innocent people indiscriminately. It is precisely because of Mu Huali's kindness to local armed forces that these local armed forces are willing to serve the Mongolian army. On the one hand, they serve as the vanguard of siege cities and territories, and on the other hand, they can also defend the city for the Mongols.

In addition, Muhuali is good at uniting forces and attracting forces from all ethnic groups to join the Mongolian army to jointly fight against the Kingdom of Jin . In the Central Plains area, he recruited and surrendered a large number of Han and Khitan armed forces who were dissatisfied with the Jurchen rule. Those clearly recorded in history books include the Yongqing Shi Tianni family, Changqing Yanshi, Xingzhongfu Shi Tianying , and the original Red Coat Army. Leader Shi Gui, Khitan Xiao Yexian and other forces greatly accelerated the pace of Mongolia's attack on the Jin Dynasty. When Genghis Khan wiped Khwarizm off the map, Mu Huali had already compressed the Jin Dynasty's sphere of influence to a narrow area of ​​​​Shaanxi, Bianjing, Cai Jing.

In 1217 AD, Genghis Khan made Muhuali the grand master, the king, the province, and the executive. He gave Muhuali the full power to manage the Han Dynasty, and gave him a gold seal with eight characters engraved on it: "The country will be passed on to descendants." , from generation to generation." He also said to Mu Huali: " To the north of Taihang , I will review it myself, and to the south of Taihang, please encourage him." He gave him a nine-flag banner and warned the generals: "Mu Hua Li built this flag to give orders, as if I were here in person."

Muhuali was unusually named "King", which not only shows that Genghis Khan attaches great importance to and trusts him, but also shows that the mission he undertakes has a significant role in the development of the Mongolian regime. extremely important position. The Nine Flag is the symbol of the Khan. It represents Genghis Khan to control the army and rule the people. I will manage the area north of Taihang, Genghis Khan, and leave it to you, Muhuali, to run the area south of Taihang. This is such a great trust. It can be said that Genghis Khan has regarded Muhuali as his incarnation.

In the spring of 1223 AD, Mu Huali crossed the Yellow River to Wenxi (now Wenxi County, Shanxi), and died of illness in the army at the age of fifty-four. Before his death, Mu Huali said to his younger brother and grandson: "I have helped the country achieve great things. I have been wearing armor for forty years. I have conquered the east and the west, and I have no regrets. My first hatred is Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan)." ! Please encourage me." Mu Huali's wish to conquer the Jin Dynasty in his lifetime was not realized, and he died with hatred. His son Polu ascended the throne and led the army to continue collecting gold. Later, Temujin personally attacked Fengxiang and said to the generals: "If Muhuali were alive, I wouldn't have to come here to supervise the battle!"


Muhuali dedicated his life to achieving Genghis Khan's great cause. He was once praised by Genghis Khan as "Just like a chariot has a shaft, a body has arms." This comment by Genghis Khan can be said to be the best summary of Mu Huali's dedication to the Mongol Empire.
