Genghis Khan on Invastion and Border Security
I wanted to share this quote by Genghis Khan
"The strength of walls depends on the courage of those who guard them".
Kahn stated this in 1211 after invading China and occupying Beijing. Kahn accomplished this by being let through a pass in the Great Wall of China. Kahn bribed an official and disaffected General who allowed his army passage through the greatest defense system China had against the Mongols. As a result of that border incursion, the Mongols dynasty ruled China until 1368.
"Genghis Khan’s Mongols, and later the Manchus who established the Qing dynasty, both found their way through [the Great Wall] with bribery and trickery before overrunning the whole of China."
History repeats itself.
