They still did give the Chinese a hard time. Even smashed their armies again and captured their Emperor, sowed chaos and caused a succession crisis. If it wasn't for their leader (Esen Taishi) reluctance and the Ming generals last stand , they might've reestablished their holding or at least strengthen their position in the Central plains. But to be fair, even Esen didn't expect to beat the Ming so resoundingly like that, he simply didn't plan that far. This is what we call "suffering from success" as he was assassinated only a few years after that spectacular victory, dismantling the Mongolian confederacy of tribes.

[@Nolaris3]

I don't think it was his reluctance, Esen had no reason to destroy the Ming. He was a tributary to the Ming and enjoyed it because he got to keep asking the Ming for gifts through trade. The whole reason he went to war with them was because Ming reduced the trade and stopped sending these gifts. Esen wanted to restore the flow of money. When Esen destroyed the Ming army and captured Emperor Yingzong (Zhu Qizhen), he wanted to ransom him back to China as part of his negotiation tactics as well. It backfired because the emperor's brother Zhu Qiyu got to become Emperor himself and had no issue remaining so, meaning Esen basically captured the Ming Emperor for nothing. After the failed invasion of Beijing, Esen ended up returning the emperor and negotiate to resume the trade with worse terms than before. He also wasn't just assassinated, his fellow Mongols and Oirats revolted against him. Esen killed his competition after a dispute about the heir and would later usurp leadership of the Great Yuan rather than going through the Kurultai, which is the traditional method of electing a leader.

[@PeixuanSong-uk7uz]

Esen Taishi, as you say, is a Taishi. This is not a name. This is a job. He is the grand preceptor to toghtoa bukha, the khan of the northern yuan, khan of the mongols. He defeated the tatars to the east and that's how he came to be powerful.

A fun side note, after the Manchurians united and conquered Ming China forming the Great Qing, Mongolian traditions and customs were incorporated into the Royal family’s etiquette and methods of ruling. It could be argued that in some ways that the Qing continued the cultural legacy of the Mongol Dynasty. Mongol nobles and generals were incorporated into a “Mongolian Banner,” additionally intermarriage between the Manchu nobles and Mongolian nobles was a very common practice especially under the Kangxi Emperor. The Manchu over time became more Chinese, however, the martial spirit carried by its vast military looked to Mongol traditions as a source of pride and as a standard to achieve as a standing army :) There’s some great books on the subject to include the Kangxi’s memoir!

The story of the plague victim catapulting during a siege of Jaffa is a popular trope but almost certainly a later historical fabrication. 3. The story of Ghengis Khan's millions of descendants is again popular but not backed by evidence. The study in question did not conclude anything of the sort.

The "Yuan Dynasty" of China that was established by Kublai Khan (the grandson of Genghis Khan) only ruled from 1271 to 1368 AD. That together is a total of 97 years, making it the shortest-lived major dynasty of China. Unlike other dynasties of China, when the Mongols ruled they were never totally Sinicized. That played an important part in their downfall. They simply maintained (for the most part) their seperation from the native population and utilized foreigners. And after the fall of the Yuan dynasty in 1368, the Mongols eventualy returned back to Mongolia.

The Yuan Dynasty was started by Kublai Khan (who was the grandson of Genghis Khan, a Mongol) and after he died his family continued to rule China until 1368. The names and dates I'll list: Kublai Khan 1271-1294, Temür Khan 1294-1307, Külüg Khan 1281-1311, Ayurbarwada Buyantu Khan 1311-1320, Gegeen Khan 1320-1323, Yesün Temür 1323-1328, Ragibagh Khan 1328, Jayaatu Khan Tugh Temür 1328-1329 and 1329-1332, Khutughtu Khan Kusala 1329, Rinchinbal Khan 1332, Toghon Temür 1333-1368. As you can see that is a complete list of all the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, starting from 1271-1368. And as I said, it is a total of 97 years making it the shortest-lived major dynasty of China. Where did I even mention the word "Chinese" in my very first message? When did I mention "live up to 150 years or more?" The definition of a "dynasty" is "a line of hereditary rulers of a country". If you understand proper English, then you would realize I was referring to the "Yuan Dynasty" that indicates all of the generations of the rulers.

That is why it is officially called that name and everyone refers to it that way, all Chinese dynasties have a name and you simply look them up. It is common sence, it doesn't need to be specified as being in "generations" because the word "dynasty" already means the line of rulers of during that entire period, as the definition says.

The way history teaches you to look at these ruthless psychopaths as decent people is what has always convinced me we are and always have been ruled by complete psychopaths.

@@hidokun9145I didn't mean you were, but since you want to make it personal, it's not hard to be superior to the likes of you and the mongols that you're defending. There's nothing human about what they did. Get help for that self esteem issue that you tried to project onto me.

The Golden Horde conquered not southern russia but some principalities of Kievan Rus. The one and only king of the Galicia - Volhynia kingdom was the one who stopped their advance westwards

[@userwsyz]

Kievan-Rus is southern Russia if you look at it together with Russia.

I feel like you could have mentioned the Timurid and the Mughal empire, as they are in a way heirs to the Mongol Empire

[@thefarmking9924]

the timurids maybe but the mughals have no relation at all to the mongalians

[@ibrahimihsan2090]

That is like mentioning the Delhi Sultanate when talking about the great Turkish empires. Or calling America as New England simply for being populated by them. Just because they have common ancestry doesn't necessarily make them important parts of history for a specific country.

[@lukee-af5931]

@@ibrahimihsan2090 The thing is I would consider the Mughal (Mongol) Empire as a successor state, while not the Delhi Sultanate.

[@zebimicio5204]

the mughals were descendant from the delhi sultanate though. The only thing those two have in common with the mongols were claiming they were chinggis's sucessor, which is pretty common for most warlords back then. It's like european states claiming they're the descendants of rome even though they're germans@@lukee-af5931

That wasn't its end yet. Timur took another jab at the middleeast and Akbar managed to conquer India. The Mongol Empire really ends only after the fall the Mughal (Mongol) Empire in India.

I always wanted to know this question , Mongolian Empire , vs modern Mongolia . No one dared answer this question for some reason. thanks for making this I really appreciate it.

[@userwsyz]

It's not called Mongolian empire. It's called the Mongol empire. I think they mean different things. Mongolian means people of Mongolia. Mongol means that Confederacy of different tribes originated on the Eurasian steppes.

[@khulan5825]

Let me answer you then. Mongol empire is different from modern Mongolia in a way you'd be surprised to hear. In Mongol empire the letters were different and it meant different words and symbolism while in modern mongolia you can see that we use Cyrillic- more akin to European traditions. Its because we had culture war ! The culture war during the soviet unions time in mongolia was great improvement from the old ways to the new ways. Such things as grooming, showering, learning and housing became essential. Not only that women were now back to being more independent and they could essentially become the bread winners. As a mongolian I will say that one thing differs in Mongol empire and Modern mongolia. Which is sacrifice and blood, like on this video we fashion ourselves in blood but differently. During the 1200s and early 1800s blood was necessary to win over the Qing dynasty for both Chinese and Mongolian. While During the 1900s mongolians fought oppression from Stalins soviet with pen and paper. With that sacrifices and blood meant differently as well. In the ye olden times we let our children off their parents so that they could revive the country, it was necessary and very terrible. In modern time, creators and writers would plaster free ideas on paper and spread even If they knew that it would get them offed. So here it is from swords and knives to words and pen!
