Are you going to cover it all in other videos or is this a one partner.
Kublai Khan remind me of someone who can’t get enough of Japanese, even made a UA-cam channel out of his craving.
Wait a minute..
Great comment.. and reply.
Haha wait woah ay ay ay ay
Kublai just wanted some new friends 🤷♂️
I can be friend
@@dorthymcgrane1290 Better than having him as an enemy!
another couple of months like this and I'll definitely try his strategy.
Is hearting your own comment masturbating your ego? Asking for... uh... not me.
Alright, FINE. I really just want a heart. Please heart me daddy! Pretty please 🍒
@@nobody8328 hm... just this time ;)
"They began conducting prayers for protection"
Spoiler alert: It actually worked
Image being a simple Japanese fisherman, you get captured by foreign soldiers and sent across the sea to the most powerful man in the world at the time, but to your surprise you get treated like an honored guest for 2 months and sent back home..
Lmao Netflix's Marco Polo
And they end up jailed in iapan
Do you think they were jailed for life, or just a little while? I feel bad for them.
@@alexissey4023 If it was going to be life imprisonment, they would've just b executed them.
@@oddish2253 Marco Polo irl
I don't know why but the fact that those in the Kamakura Shogunate passed the letter on to the imperial court in Kyoto cracks me up.
I would have loved to see their faces. xD
Poor Korean king. He must have felt like the kid in class who is the involuntary friend of the school bully.
Korea has a long history of being the reluctant underling. Under Yuan dynasty as Goryo. Under Qing/Ming dynasty as Joseon.
Their crown prince had to be sent over to Qing/Ming dynasty in a kind of exchange program to make sure the next king would be friendly to the regime in exchange for sovereignty.
@@d4dr4g0n Nah that happens only in Qing dynasty period not Ming. Koreans have sent their princes to Mongolian's or Manchurian's territory as a hostage mainly because they lost war to them, but there's no point to send their princes to Chinese territory when they didn't lose to battles with Chinese
@@user-uv8xl1qq8g Thanks for pointing out the mistake . It has been a while since I looked at my history.
To be clear, it's only between Koryo and Yuan in the 13th to mid 14th century, and much later between Joseon and Qing in the mid 17th to 19th century that there was this sort of practice of sending a prince or any male and/or female royal member to the Chinese state or in the case of Koryo and Yuan, even the crown prince was sent because Koryo was a semi-autonomous vassal state of Mongol Yuan so the important crown prince was sent as a temporary hostage. With Qing and Joseon, except for the very beginning of their relationship when Joseon lost the brief war with Qing (1636-1637) and officially surrendered and was forced to plead allegiance to Jurchen Qing (and therefore abandon relationship with Ming), just regular princes or less important royal members were sent to Qing, not crown princes because it was a tributary relationship, albeit with more political pressure from the hegemon than was with native Chinese states like with Ming previously. So yes, I would avoid saying this thing was a big part of Korean history, as it was only a couple of instances in Korean history that this royal member hostage practice existed. This practice only happens in vassal or especially unequal tributary relationships, which for Korea was the Mongol Yuan and then the Jurchen Qing, respectively. And only with the relationship with Yuan did Korea have to send crown princes or any important high ranking royal family members since the relationship was a vassal, meaning Yuan had significant authority over Korea as opposed to a tributary relationship, which was just a regular relationship with a Chinese state in the East Asian world with a Chinese state being the de jure superior authority but not neccesarily having significant de facto power and authority over the other state(s) (for most of the time).
And sorry for my long comment hah
I wish there was someone who taught native american history like you teach japanese history
I agree
The American History prior to the new world discovery is scarcely recorded compared to the old world
It would probably be boring unless food is involved native American food changed everything
Indeed. Their culture seems so mysterious and alluring. I understand they were considered Pagan and, depending on the tribe, were nomadic or had large cities.
It’s funny to me how far back and how widespread the myth of Japan being this mysterious magical land filled with riches is. Probably only originated because of how isolationist Japan has been throughout history, which made it always seem like this untouchable mythical land.
You changed your pfp! It's a cute one =)
@@Linfamy Thanks! 😌

Kublai's message in a nutshell:
*"We've invaded China. Please respect us, or else we might invade you as well."*
The shogunate: *"OK"*
Ah yes, another man of culture
then water kami around Japan: we shall end this man’s entire career.
@@MonographicSingleheaded The god that create the storm was Hachiman, the God of War. But yeah, he ended Khan's whole career.
They did not even send a simple OK 🤣
@@otakoob don't forget the contributions made by the chants and prayers of the imperial priests who held prayers day and night to prevent the Mongol invasion.
They are the true hero's of the war because prayers and chants are the only true way to win a war
The very invasions that gave us Ghost of Tsushima. Oh and reformation of Samurai armies, lol.
Some interesting curiosities about the complicated relationship between Yuan and Koryo: the Mongols had to invade Korea seven times before Koryo accepted defeat; at the end, the Mongols were so done of the Korean resistance that Koryo managed to keep its King and an authonomous administration. During the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Koryo sat together with the Mongolian èlites next to the Khan (the only foreigner who had such privilege) because the Koreans sent many young women to China to become concubines and wives of the Mongolian nobility; in fact, the Mongols considered Korean women to be particularly attractive.
One may wonder whether they married into the Yuan royal family thus granting Koryo some centuries of access to power... I've heard this before...
@@idraote Yes, the Korean nobility obviously wanted to maintain the power and a certain autonomy, but we have to understand that Koryo was forced to send thousands of women to China, a true mass deportation. Koryo also had to send heavy tributes and the Korean King had to marry a Mongolian wife who monitored the loyalty of the crown to Yuan Empire. Moreover, the most important wife for a Mongolian aristocrat normally was a Mongolian wife (the Mongols were polygamous, while the Koreans were proudly monogamous), but there is a very interesting exception: Toghon Temur, the last Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, chose a Korean wife as Empress and she became so important that her power actually exceeded that of her husband. Unfortunately for her, the Dynasty collapsed when her influence over the Empire was at its peak. Today she is known as Empress Gi
@@andreagullo1700 I have to smile because mine was a joke about the Fujiwara women marrying into the imperial family, a trope that is ongoing among the subscribers of this channel.
At the same time, thank you for the wealth of information you shared.
It's an unfortunate historical reality that people and especially young women have often been treated like wares.
@@idraote ahah yes I understood your reference but focused more on explaining things XD
I appreciate this good conversation! I also agree, the relationship of Koryo Korea with Mongol Yuan was quite unique. This didn't really happen between Mongol Yuan and other peoples or states. Also, the situation with the heavy mandatory tribute of women and girls and various material resources from Koryo Korea to Mongol Yuan is a very tragic thing.
Yay I love stories about mongols you are the best at explaining asian history you are doing great have great day
;)
Wait could the Japanese back then speak Mongolian or did the Mongolians send the letter in Japanese? I was imagining the Japanese got the letter and where just like “Ayo, wtf is this.”
Both of them at the time used court Chinese as a language of government
@@sean668 thanks, that makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking
@@sean668 yeah Chinese was like Latin to European in East Asia back then.
Chinese was Lingua franca in East Asia.
Haha what a coincidence! Yesterday I just finished Ghost of Tsushima 100% :)
Maybe that's why I made the video 🤔
I am a simple man. I see new linfamy video, I watch it...
The two fishermen being brought before Kublai Khan would have made for one hell of a Kurosawa movie.
Yeaaaah baby I was waiting for this!!!
Actually, "Receive the Mandate of Heaven and become the master of the universe" later become an official greet on every chinese emperor's orders ever since, "奉天承运”
Just saw your vids on my recommended and I cant stop watching, your videos are so informative but you add the perfect amount of jokes to make it not seem like a documentary. the animations are amazing because they keep everyone engaged. thank you for your vids i'll definitely be saving up for a membership :)
Glad you like the vids
you just got a new subscriber, i am sorry i didnt find your chanel earlyer. big respect for your work
Woohoo!
Yay new video from a great creator
Ooh! Where??
Finally I was waiting for you to cover them
I love your videos , very funny and informative and you are SO RIGHT about axe body spray XD
😂
A guy should only wear the perfume his girlfriend has appropriately selected for him.
Any other would be wrong. Very wrong. At least to the eyes of that girl.
You're really stepping up your animation game. Nice!
Yes! Been waiting for the Mongol Invasion for a while! Too bad you couldn’t use the “Except for...The Mongols” bit that PBS Crash Course uses.
Your offering the next video when you just released this one? Surely you are spoiling us now! Xxxx love love love these videos thank you for uploading this one about the China boo leader who wished to take Japan! I do hope the poor fishermen had a better fairytale ending than the one I am thinking (perhaps a fox?)
i have been waiting years for this series of 100 videos about japan during the mongols
i always feel bad when i listen through these without commenting uuuuuugh you tell these histories so goooooooooooooooood
Well thanks for commenting, I appreciate it ;)
I love your narration and funny voices. History is full of lies so I don't care for it, but I love the way you tell it. THANK YOU.
Oh. Neat.. now to watch every video this guy has.. yay..
Woohoo
this promised episodes〜🥰
My favorite until now 👍🏽

Woohoo
Yee Sensei noticed me Yee 👉👈
@@Roanokem I noticed you too
3:58 kublai khan: i have the poweeer!
One thing to add to this is that by this point the Yuan territory was really the only part of the Mongol empire that Kubli actually controlled beyond simple lip service, the other 3 major Khanates, the Ilkhanate (Persia and much of the middle east) the Chagatai Khanate (central asia) and the Golden Horde (russia) were all pretty much their own kingdoms/empires at this point, with Kubli's control over them being minimal at best. It's not totally related to the invasion of Japan, but it does give you a sense of how even by this point the Mongol empire had it's best days behind it.
I heard that both Chinggis and Alex didn't learn the lessons of the SPQR's slow and steady expansion
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 then were is that SPQR ? Alex was born before SPQR btw
@@Orgil. really??? I checked Wikipedia and it says Alex was born in 356 bc while the Roman republic was born in 509 bc, meaning Alex was born AFTER the republic
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 The title SPQR's date of establishment is unknown, but it first appears in inscriptions of the Late Republic, from c. 80 BC onwards. Previously, the official name of the Roman state, as evidenced on coins, was simply ROMA.
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 so yeah alex was born before SPQR
Try to explain the all the Yokai in Nagasarete airantou(contains alot of them)
And it also made a great video game.
Broo can you recommend some history books about Japan, please
That letter was so Queen. "Here i am, born to be khan, i am the prince of the universe...."
OH BOI HERE WE GO
That would explain the existence of a game called Ghost of Tsushima ...
Do you have pre-determined roadmap of "History of Japan" (how many episodes to make in total, and how many to spend in each period), or do you "make it up as you go along" and increase/decrease period coverage based on your own changing interests and audience response?
Could you do an explanation of Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind episode?
*WE'VE INVADED CHINA*
*PLEASE RESPECT US OR WE WILL INVADE YOU*
Japan: okay *pulls out katana*

Time for war.
those transtions are sick!
Greetings from Brazil! Thank you so much for this, I love how you explain stuff :) I can't wait to watch the next videos of the series!! Quick question, do you know anything about Kashin Koji the magician who apparently fooled Oda Nobunaga (? I'm not sure tbh, but it's what I as able to understand from the few sources I found around), I've beeb trying to learn more about that part of history for curiosity's sake and haven't been able to find anything :/ again, thank you for all your work and lovely art!
Wait for it.....the Mongols.
Who were always the exception.
It's an old reference, but it checks out.
Appreciating from your Mongolian subscriber, loyal watcher. Misheel Enkhbat. Let’s see if you can pronounce right. 😏
Wait weren't the mongol empire back then during kublai kahn was seperated
Yep yep
‘’Ah, maybe you didn’t know any better.’’
😂
Yuan Dynasty is that the same Yuan from Dynasty Warriors or nah?
2:36 Wait Kublai Khan had LAZERS?
It's nice to see how Japanese-style government hasn't changed in centuries.
They thus show their attachment to tradition and many Western goverments have taken a page from that book.
Figureheads after figureheads after figureheads???
4:39 This sounds like something I’d see on r/niceguys🤢
Dang Kublai was multilingual..
Tomorrow its gonna be livestream
I really don't feel that a Mongol victory was assured in Japan.
There are two reasons that go against this, in my eyes.
One is simply the terrain of the country, which is to say that Japan is heavily wooded and mountainous.
That is horrible terrain for a mounted cavalry like that of the Mongol army.
You look at Mongolia itself and it really is a very sparse country; the forest is an unfamiliar beast.
Number two would be the Sea of Japan.
When the Mongols fought on the mainland they naturally had a better chain of logistics (extra regiments, food, a better ability to double back if things didn't go well,) but that would have all gone out the window in Japan.
Just getting across the sea itself could be extremely hazardous, especially for inexperienced sailors like the Mongols (and if something happened to their Korean guides, well, SOL.)
A war is not won in a day and getting men across to rendezvous points without reserve Japanese troops killing them on the beach was not a guarantee.
With no guarantee of needed reinforcements, the Mongols might have been waiting in the woods for the sound of dueling Shamisens.
Just my take, anyway.
your point has many mistakes mongols live many different place such as desert mongolians(gobi desert),mountain mongolians(altai),steppe mongolians ,forest mongolians(siberian mongolians) and most of yuan soldiers were nonmongol jurchen,korean,chinese all of them are foot soldiers.food is easy just raid village and towns japan is not big land.And last the Samurais, they are many samurai that do anything for coins (japans nationalist idea was founded much later)
meanwhile, Marco Polo: the smell of gold is coming from the eastern island
Kublai Khan: Repeatedly sending envoys and ships taken from Korea
Korean King: Sigh ~😮💨 It's like watching my teenage son going on a stupid rampage
8:33 bruh, spoilers!
Good
Always the Mongols, always with the invasions and dynasty takeovers.
Lol "tell your king to call me its important" 😆😆 lol "I just want to talk I'm not trying to invade" while preparing to invade🤣
Weird, the Mongolian flavoured take away here is made with lamb not beef.
Wait this actually happened!? I thought it was only in ghost of tsushima!!! (Sarcasm)

Q: Why did Kublai Khan invade Japan?
A: He wanted to watch Japanese Anime with Sexy Times, but then he Died in a Tornado.
Kublai didn't feel enough of C and K-media, so he fukking wanted more

Kublai Khan, and the Masters of the Universe!
Ghost of Tsushima intensifies
Wait, wait, horses CAN'T run on water? O- I... I gotta go!
Where the fuk did you find that Mongol horses can do the Jesus???
What language was Kublai’s letter written in, Chinese or Japanese? Just curious.
Chinese.
@@Linfamy and then the Japanese read the Chinese words in Japanese (vocal or mental) pronunciation
"Mongols watch anime too"
in 21st centry every one heard or watched anime unless they live under the rock

Next episode: Manchurian invasion of Japan aka Ito-no-nyūkō in 1019.
I'm sorry, what???
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 true story.
Ikino and Tsushima Island got raised and they also moved on towards the Country of Chinzen (modern day Western Fukuoka Prefecture).
Alas, they were defeated by the immense army of Kyūshū Region led by Fujiwara-no-Takaie.
Tsushima Island and areas in Kyūshū Region were always constantly raided by Silla pirates starting from Early 9th century A.C. but when the Mongolians came they STILL weren't prepared ayyyy lmfao 😂😂😂😂💯💯👌👌
A Mongol ass kicking was far worse than we might assume . . . the Mongols had pointy toed boots. When a Mongol kicked your ass it ended up looking like someone had set it afire and put it out with a pitchfork.
For comparison, here's a famous Japanese describing his more typical fundament: "my ass is so hairy it looks like an afro parted down the middle." -Kondo Isami (Kabukicho sector chief of the Shinsengumi)
Now you wouldn't want to set fire to an ass like that.

Commenting as an offering to the capricious yokai known as youtube algorithm.
I'm sorry if I made you cringe.
Did Kublai Khan make these plans in his stately pleasure dome of Xanadu?
Why were those fishermen jailed though?
Don't know, probably because they were trying to convince Japan to comply.
The Mongol Invasion of Japan started with them sending a strongly worded letter? It's usually the opposite...
what kind of opposite ?
Hublai not Kublai
2:01 that would be the funniest coincidence in history. If the Mongols didn't actually kill anyone and when they showed up people were just dead.
Can we not go back to the days of small parts of an island/country being independent areas of land. It was so much more interesting than huge nations and world war.. Simpler times 😂
So immature from the Japan court to ghost the Khan like that. At least they could have broken up with an sms.
Who was the leader of japan during the mongol invasions?
If you mean the emperor, I dunno
If you mean the shogun, I dunno either
But the shogun regent, Hojo Tokimune
