<P> Known during his childhood as Temujin, Genghis Khan was a son of a Mongol chieftain . As a young man he rose very rapidly by working with Toghrul Khan of the Kerait . Kurtait was the most powerful Mongol leader during this time and was given the Chinese title "Wang" which means Prince . Temujin went to war with Wang Khan . After Temujin defeated Wang Khan he gave himself the name Genghis Khan . He then enlarged his Mongol state under himself and his kin . The term Mongol became used to refer to all Mongolic Speaking tribes under the control of Genghis Khan . His most powerful allies were his father's friend, Khereid chieftain Wang Khan Toghoril, and Temujin's childhood anda (friend) Jamukha of the Jadran clan . With their help, Temujin defeated the Merkit tribe, rescued his wife Börte, and went on to defeat the Naimans and Tatars . </P> <P> Temujin forbade looting of his enemies without permission, and he implemented a policy of sharing spoils with his warriors and their families instead of giving it all to the aristocrats . These policies brought him into conflict with his uncles, who were also legitimate heirs to the throne; they regarded Temujin not as leader but merely an insolent usurper . This controversy spread to his generals and other associates, and some Mongols who had previously been allies with him broke their allegiance . War ensued, and Temujin and the forces still loyal to him prevailed, destroying all the remaining rival tribes from 1203 to 1205 and bringing them under his sway . In 1206, Temujin was crowned as the khagan of the Yekhe Mongol Ulus (Great Mongol State) at a kurultai (general assembly / council). It was there that he assumed the title of Genghis Khan (universal leader) instead of one of the old tribal titles such as Gur Khan or Tayang Khan, marking the start of the Mongol Empire . </P> <P> Genghis Khan introduced many innovative ways of organizing his army, dividing it into decimal subsections of arbans (10 people), zuuns (100), Mingghans (1000), and tumens (10,000). The Kheshig, or the imperial guard, was founded and divided into day (khorchin torghuds) and night guards (khevtuul). Genghis rewarded those who had been loyal to him and placed them in high positions, placing them as heads of army units and households, even though many of his allies had been from very low - rank clans . </P> <P> Compared to the units he gave to his loyal companions, those assigned to his own family members were quite few . He proclaimed a new law of the empire, Ikh Zasag or Yassa, and codified everything related to the everyday life and political affairs of the nomads at the time . He forbade the selling of women, theft, fighting among the Mongols, and the hunting of animals during the breeding season . </P>
