257.5.6

Knowing how cunning Tamur-chi was, several writers have stated that the appearance of Kukju or Kukchu upon the scene was preconcerted between him and Tamur-chi. It will be noticed from the foregoing that his proper title is THE Chingiz Khan, as in the case of the Great King, the Great Napoleon, etc., and not simply “Chingiz.” Another writer well informed as to the Turks, Tatars, and Mughals, says that Ching signifies in the Mughali dialect, firm, confirmed, established, and the like, the plural form of which is Chingiz. The impostor was so puffed up with his own importance, after the success of his pretended revelation, that he began to entertain ambitious views for himself, until, one day, he entered into an angry dispute with Tamur-chi’s brother, Juji Kasar, when he took him by the throat and dashed him to the ground with such violence that Kukju never rose again. After this kuriltac, those who were in the secret of this pretended revelation began to spread the report all over the countries round, and among the peoples who had submitted to him, so that they began to believe that the Almighty had really given the world to the Chingiz Khan, and future war and conquest were chiefly considered.
