A Han Chinese scholar from the time of the Mongol Empire is likely to give a negative reflection on the brutality of his leadership. Given the historical context of Genghis Khan's conquests and the impact of Mongol rule on the Han Chinese population, scholars of that time would have been inclined to focus on the violence and destruction associated with his campaigns rather than on any positive aspects of his leadership.
