      @MrBottlecapBill 4 года назад +204

      That fact that the early Mongolians were so successful is because they appointed leaders based on talent, rather than birthright. Everyone they faced in battle did NOT do this.......and as a result most armies were full of stuffy lords mostly looking out for their own interests or slaves and peasants who didn't want to be there in the first place. It's always easy to defeat forces that hate each other as much as they hate you, especially when you're united. Add to that political corruption from within the empires you're at war with, and well they do half the work for you. Later on, once the Mongolians start to assimilate with the ways of their enemies, they too fall apart. Fighting each other for control of the empire, stabbing each other in the back. They became what they were fighting, and so they eventually faded away as well. This is why most empires and nations don't last very long. Power always corrupts and the intensity only increases over time. Until your own people don't care enough and welcome invaders in the door.

      Yeah, they were called Hunnu because their ethnicity was that, not Mongol. I don't even get what you mean by saying "I am talking about the mainland". If you are talking about East Asia, the Huns did not originate from there, there is no evidence of it. Their language was Hunnic. Or are you just simply believing that any barbaric horde from Asia has to be Mongol? In Mongolia we talk about the Hunnu as an entirely different kind of people, our ancient predecessors, not as Mongols.

They couldn't fathom a wave of highly mobile attackers that came from everywhere, and so Subutai succeeded in overwhelming his enemies.

    Subutai has to be one of the greatest war generals In history of mankind’s. Truly a remarkable individual. He Never lost in a life full of battles. He also had an ability to win battles he had no business of winning.
    The Mongol Empire disintegrated after Genghis bc of internal conflicts. Nothing else could have done them in. Even so they have forever changed the course of the world history. I can not imagine had Genghis lived another 15 years.

Mengge Khan first Sichuan fishing city. Kublai Khan died in the Han Dynasty. Under the control of various uprisings for less than 40 years (86 years in total), it was swept by the Great Han and Ming Empires to the Beiga Lake in 2.3 months and recovered the Anbei Capital garrison (north of the desert) during the Han and Tang Empires. It's not a dynasty. This real history is: the Han Dynasty Han Wudi's Wei Qing Huo Qubing Han Dynasty Tang Taizong's Li Jing Da Han Dynasty Ming Dynasty Taizu's Chang Yuchun Xu Da all swept across North Asia
