I believe that the Mongols were barbaric and very destructive and unforgiving people. Although they were barbaric, they united Eurasia and spread ideas and were very intelligent.
One reason why they were barbaric is how they ruled in battle. While they were in battle, the Mongols had one person in charge of 10 warriors and then one person in charge of 10 of those groups of ten (100) and then ten of those ten (1000) and genghis would tell only a few people what to do and it would be a chain reaction of how the orders went around to everyone. If only a few people flee from battle out of a ten person group, the whole entire group is sIaughtered. If the whole group of ten flees, then the group of 100 is killed. It is the same for the other way around too. If one person charges into battle, then everyone else in the group also has to. If they don't, then they are killed. Once they won, document three stated that when the mongols won a battle or took control of a city, they would tell all the residents to come out so they could count them. When they did this, they would keep the artisans and other highly skilled workmen and the rest they would kill with a axe. …show more content…
One of these laws were adultery. If you committed adultery, then you were put to death and if you want to have a relationship with someone that was married, you had to kill her husband. Another law is that “it’s Forbidden, to cut the throats of animals slain for food; they must be bound, the chest opened and the heart pulled out by the hand of the hunter.” (quote from the international connections library.) Since these laws were so tough, there were very few thieves and crimes in cities ruled by the mongols. A few other included; you can't get drunk more than 3 times a month and you can't plunder and loot until an officer tells you that you
