Promotions And Female Empowerment
In a rather anti-aristocratic sense, Genghis Khan’s laws encouraged good soldiers to climb the ranks, rather than the people with ties to prominent families. Unlike anywhere else in the world at the time, Mongol women were also considered equal to their male counterparts, being offered a certain amount of status and the same protections as the community as a whole. This was largely due to the large number of shamans, who were most often females.

Unquestioned Obedience
Another of Genghis Khan’s important rules that his soldiers had to abide by was unquestioned obedience to himself, as well as other highly ranked army officials. Law and order was to prevail if the Mongol community was going to be a dominant global force, as it ended up being. Even misplacing one single piece of army equipment landed soldiers in trouble, often leading to harsh punishment so they learned an important lesson along the way.
