What Genghis Khan Did to His Slaves Shocked Even His Own Generals

What Genghis Khan Did to His Slaves Shocked Even His Own Generals

They called it the Yassa, a progressive legal code.
They called it unification, the birth of a nation.
But what Genghis Khan did to his slaves was something far worse than conquest.
In 1220, at the gates of Bukhara, a Mongol general watched his Khan give an order so methodical, so coldly systematic, that for the first time in his battle-hardened life, he felt true horror. Not at the violence. At the system behind it.
What followed wasn't chaotic slaughter. It was sorting. An entire city processed like cattle. Skilled artisans registered and relocated. Young men transformed into human shields. Women and children distributed as property. The elderly erased from history.
From Persian chronicles to archaeological evidence, from the Yassa's hidden contradictions to survivor testimonies, this was a machine that enslaved between one and two million people across Asia, creating the most efficient system of organized human trafficking the medieval world had ever seen.
The boy who once wore a slave's yoke built an empire where Mongols could never be enslaved, but everyone else became property by law.
