As a national leader and army commander, especially the conqueror of the world, no matter how energetic he is, if he does it himself like Zhuge Liang, there will only be one end:-exhausted, "conquering after death" and rushing through the course of his life. The conquerors in the world will not live as ordinary people today, and many of them will die young. In addition to the low level of medical care at that time, it also had a lot to do with their physical and mental exhaustion.
Compared with world conquerors such as Alexander and Attila, Genghis Khan has the longest life span. "Life is seventy years old", and Mongolian medicine is not as developed as the Central Plains. Genghis Khan can live to 65 years old, which is quite good. If he lived longer, how much would the "shadow part" of the Mongolian empire expand on the map? He can live for so long, thanks to his own wise actions, and founded the "General Staff".
104, Genghis Khan ordered the establishment of a specialized agency,-"Lazi". This is transliterated from Mongolian, which means "General Staff". At first, Genghis Khan served as an adjutant and listened directly to the advice of this think tank. Two years later, the Mongolian Plateau was unified, and the General Staff was the unsung hero behind the scenes. He said that after Khan, there were so many things to go out that he had to step down as chief of staff and was suddenly appointed to take over. He said to nonsense, "You will grow up militarily in the future."
Many people only know Kublai Khan, but they don't know that he will come suddenly. He is not a fool, but one of the famous "four dogs" under Genghis Khan's account, on an equal footing with Zhe, Zhe Bie and Su Butai. Genghis Khan would say, "You are obedient to all rigid and disobedient races. You, me, the fierce dog and other four people, with you as the pioneer, face the battle. "
Generally speaking, the General Staff was invented by the Germans, but in fact Napoleon was before the Germans and Genghis Khan was before Napoleon. So Japanese militarists said that Genghis Khan's General Staff was 600 years earlier than Napoleon's.
With this good helper, Genghis Khan can focus on the overall situation and strategy, without considering the details of campaigns and tactics, let alone command the front line. By contrast, Alexander was exhausted and had to take care of everything. As commander-in-chief, he took the lead like an ordinary soldier. Go ahead, he also made a more gorgeous shield and inserted a white feather into the helmet, which can certainly boost morale, but it is also equivalent to telling the enemy, "I am coming, come and cut me." As a result, he was injured many times, one of which was shot into the breastplate by the enemy, and his helmet was almost split by the opponent's tomahawk. Alexander's untimely death has a lot to do with his thinking too much and his injuries too much. In today's words, Alexander is "karoshi".
