Q2 OR#10

In the next installment of my chosen outside reading book, "Genghis: Lords of the Bow" by Conn Iggulden, the city of Yenking finally falls, but not in fire. Kokchu succeeded in convincing the Khan to put up the white tent and allow tribute to be offered instead of destroying the city. Genghis watches as the miles of carts and people progess slowly from the city with mounds of silk and jade. Genghis is not entirely happy, because what is gold to him? He cannot use it to survive or fight, he cannot strap it to his horse when traveling. The city is deserted after the Mongols spread out to defeat all of the cities, but the tribes soon learn of an army of 50,000 chinese marching towards the city, and they quickly return and obliterate the army. the only reason Genghis would accept another tribute is to show that he has total control and gets what he 'wants' and to put that facade forth, he accepts the jade and such.

Q2 OR#9

In the next installment of my chosen outside reading book, "Genghis: Lords of the Bow" by Conn Iggulden, the main character, Genghis Khan, Lord of the united Mongol tribes, is attacked by an assassin from within the walls of Yenking. Yenking has begun to eat the sick and dying people in an effort to stay alive after a prolonged siege. In a desparate attempt to break the siege, the Chinese send out a spy and an assassin to blend in with the Chinese who have been dragooned into service by their conquerors, the Mongols. The attempt ultimately fails, but is a near death experience that adds a new fervor to the battle lust of the Mongol leaders. Eventually the spy reaches Kokchu who is convinced by a bribe to in turn convince the Khan to put up the famed white tent in place of the black one as to spare the city. Genghis complies and the lives of those in the city are spared at the cost of a great tribute, that of miles of silk and tons of jade. During the siege, though, in addition to the cannibalism, fifty chinese maidens dressed in white came to the top of the ramparts and jumped the fifty feet down holding hands. They died on impact. This even really did take place.

Q2 OR#8

In the next installment of my chosen outside reading book, "Genghis: Lords of the Bow" by Conn Iggulden, the main character, Genghis Khan, Lord of the united Mongol tribes, continues with the siege of the Chinese capitol, Yenking. In my last post, I reflected on the task at hand for the Mongol nation/war horde. They had tried to take down the walls with siege equipment, but to no avail, and have decided to starve the city out. Now the Horde has been stationed outside the walls of Yenking for some time. The Horde has a system to ensure the quick conquering of all cities they come across. the first day they come to a town, they raise a white tent in front of the main city gates, and spend the night. The next day, a red tent is put in its place. The third day, and the last of waiting, a black tent is raised. If the city has not surrendered by the time of the rising of the black tent, it will be sacked the next day, with none left alive. If the town surrenders on the second day, the day of the red tent, the city will be sacked and all the men killed. If the town surrenders on the day of the Horde's arrival and the white tent, the city will be pillaged and whatever the Horde wants to take from the city will be taken, but all lives will be spared. The theory behind this system is that though the first town to be sacked will not understand the method, a few survivors from the sacking after the day of the black tent will flee the ruined city and tell other cities of what happened. Slowly, by word of mouth, this system will be spread. Sure enough, Genghis was moving quickly, conquering cities a day each as they learned the fear of the red and black tents. This idea was proposed to him by his seers, his younger brother Temuge and Temuge's sensei Kokchu.

Q2 OR#7

HAY YALL im gonna be postin on the latest installment of awesome in my lil dealy bout GENGHIS KHAN. btw his name is pronounced Chengkiss in Mongolian. SO ANYWAY eventually chengkiss and his homedogs are like WHOA DOOD YENKING meaning they found yenking, the capital... capitol! capitol of china (later peking later beijing) and they were like psh we gots dis and then they looked at the walls and their jaws all kinda fell and one guy in the back (im pretty sure his name was JCCOOLMAN27) said WHAT WALLHAX ITS OVER 9,000!!!!! that means that the walls were uuuuber high, literally very very tall, and fifty feet across at the base. THAT IS BIG just so's ya knows. So basically Chenkiss2.0 aka Genghis is like dood guess what SEIGE TACTICS and surrounds the ENTIRE city with many many many tens of thousands of DOODZ and well lays seige to da place. he cuts off their food supply and starts trying to build catapults to PWN the walls but to his dismay (EGAD) the chinese have big ol ballistas on the walls and since they are better weapons and higher, as soon as Chenkiss 2.0 aka Genghis has his catapults and trebuchets moved into place, big ol metal bolts git all up in his boiz' faces. actually it destroys his seige weaponry and kills some guys, so he's pretty freaked. but of course mah main man 'Gis(ummmm) plays it cool and is content with waiting for the city to starve.

Q2 OR#6

eh.. heheheh.... this is late. but its 'kay cuz (heysouljaboiijustgotbackfromthemallguesswhatigot?whatdugetsouljaboi?) AH GOT ME SOME LATE WORK PASS!

ok.

im mad at myself now.

pk if you're reading this im sorry. i deserve whatever punishment u give me.

anyway. IN THE ADVENTURES OF GENGHIS-MAN AND HIS HORSE-RIDING BUDDIES Genghis basically goes across the land of china pillagin cities and WHATNOT. Iggulden didn't focus on anything much that happened in regards to that. for the most part he simply talked about how this Kokchu character worked his way up in power and into the favor of genghis and especially Temuge, Genghis' youngest brother. Kokchu is addicted to opiate and gets temuge hooked as well. he begins to teach Temuge the ways of a shaman and he is constantly thinking to himself about the correct moves to make, corrupt or true to the tribes.

its scandalous.

made from pure scandium.

Q2 OR#5

hokey dokey now kiddies lets git rudy to rumble. or read my blog post.

aight slim jims this here is a post that i wrote without any time to spare due to the awesome homework load of an fully ap/honors schedule. if you will excuse the randomness... well i guess you dont have to if you dont want to but its very much appreciated. is that even proper english? oh forget it im not even capitalizing or puncuation, like that sentence will make a huge difference.

ANYWAY for the last time here is my post

in the next section of the book (that i can remember :/) genghis goes to the kingdom of Xi Xia, a kinda chinese kingdom that isnt in the chin empire. his homiez are like dood time to pwn but then they're like wait what more walls? i hate the bunker map mod, this is dumb. but then the xi xia are like oooooh crap we need help and send ppl off to the chin empire to ask for troops and the like. the response from the emperor was "why should the fighting of two of my enemies concern me?" this is supposed to be shocking cuz they used to be allies but its kinda seen as a futile request cuz the chin empire doesnt fear the mongols at this point. anyway the king of the xi xia capital is like aight aight counterattack fool and sends out some troops to fight the mongols. they're pretty untrained from years of peace and so as a precautionary measure, he throws all these little spikey things into the field. genghis is like aaaaaah grasshoppaaaahh but he acts like he doesnt know so he sends in his cavalry on the tightly packed ranks of pikemen, but they wig out and just stuck by the spikey things and a couple ppl die so the mongols feign a retreat (is feign a vocab? eh, w/e VOCAB FOOL) and the untrained chinese men run after them against the will of their experienced captains. then the mongols turn around and pwn the poop out of the unorganized mob of xi xia infantry and destroy the small number of experienced ppl they had. in the end, the mongols damn up the city's water source and accidentally flood the field surrounding the city but then eventually win the city's surrender and uber tribute. then they go on to pwn lots of smaller cities.

idk i may have just screwed up the plot there major timez by confusing battles... if i did the nerd in me will be mad later when my head stops hurting......... hw is so awesome, really.
