Kublai really put the "knowing is half the battle." Motto to good effect here we can see how utilized both the Steppe advantages and disadvantages to gain victory against his rivals.
I'm a Mongolian, and the sad thing is the Mongols vs the Mongols thing continued until the late 17th century, in which we became vassals of the Jurchens-called Manchu. The story of becoming the vassals was also due to the Mongols in-fighting, particularly one was siding with the Manchus, others were against it, etc. We even fought with each other due to the Tibetan Buddhist inner conflict, like one was siding with the Red-Hat Buddhists and the other was supporting the Yellow-Hat Buddhists (Gelugpas).
No only Mongols.. jurchens or Manchus also fought each others so are han Chinese and Koreans… 9 Mongol tribes attacked one Jianzhou Jurchen tribe but lost… Jurchens were just far superior warriors than Mongols.
@@Nia-ql1zk The Jurchens' base was hidden in the terrain deep in the Changbai Mountains, and the Mongols were able to massacre them in an open battle. Genghis Khan's warriors can also dismount and fight such as the Battle of Yehuling.
All peoples fight among themselves, not just the Mongols. The same is true for Jurchens and Han people. The reason why Genghis Khan could rise was because all ethnic groups were killing each other at that time, the Khitans, Jurchens, Hans, Dangxiangs, and Dali people. Only the Mongols did not attract anyone's attention
@@EmperorAttila It would very different from Attila. IMO, the 13th century Asia's faction variety is even more than that of Europe.

He moved the capital to Beijing instead of karakorum. He moved all the advanced technologies of mongolia to china. Thats why his brother ariq and also kaidu khan wanted to fight kublai khan for betraying mongolia. All the mongolians in the 14th century cursed kublai khan. Kublai khan united china and made china powerful than ever before, leading to the ming dynasty which completely destroyed karakorum.

The use of other steppe peoples in battle to slaughter fellow Tatars when they would rather converse shows a profound ruthlessness in Kublai. I remember from the podcast series that during Genghis’ reign, the Mongols targeted Hungary for harboring Cuman-Qipchaq refugees, as if they had a vendetta against them. Was Kublai unique in his integration of non-Mongol subjects and his willingness to fight other Mongols?

Our great Khaans used every resource, whether it was Turkic, Korean and Chinese troops as auxilaries, Uyghur and Persian Statesmen, Daoist, Muslim and Buddhist theologians. This was one of the great powers of our people: Using multiculturalism and the benefits of each culture for what they are good at. The only mistake, was this hereditary rule. Chinghis Khaan Temujin grew into greatest steppe power, because he selected people based on their Deeds and Competance, not their race or lineage... until he made the mistake of allowing his sons and grandsons to govern land they were too inept or greedy/ambitious to lead. But, this is why Mongols were the best people to lead the steppe, because our people didn't care about petty "nationalism" like many of the "Turkic" nations did.
Okay, so this is a phenomenal vid, and I enjoyed it very much, so please know I say this with all the love in my heart, it boils down to "Mongols weren't very good at defending themselves from other Mongols" 🤣
How did Mongols fight Mongols? I'd guess all the time in the traditional way. The Mongol Empire was a singular point in time where they did not fight each other (that much).
This was interesting. But, I was expecting to see at least some accounts of battles. come on!! haw do two army's who famously use kiting and blitzkrieg attacks fight when fighting each other? The history was cool. and you showed haw it happened in terms of geography, supply lines. but actual battles... And if you don't really know then you could speculate in a way your audience would enjoy. for example you could get two Total War player to use all horse archers and see what tactics they can come up over a few weeks. then speculate about that in a short 5-10 minutes. could be fun. 🤷♂
It's interesting to see how mongol tactics stagnated against each other. The answer was almost always defined BEFORE the battle or case-by-case, there was never a universal antimongol answer
Удивительно, как мало Монгольская Империя дала миру и как быстро начала разбирать сама себя. Монголы на завоёванных территориях полностью впитали местную культуру, мало чего к ней добавив. Монголы в Монголии вернулись к анархии до-чингисовых времён сразу после потери Китая. Наверно это как пример: монгольская культурная пустота уничтожила их как единую нацию, только в 16-17 веке остатки "диких" монгол смогли сформировать новую идентичность. Здесь, к сожалению, мало именно про тактику монгол против монгол. Но, насколько я понимаю, в дело шёл тот же фланговый охват с тычками клиньев тяжёлой кавалерии. При равенстве сторон в тактическом плане, решалось у кого воинов больше и лучше.

Armourers in Mongol service. All the captured tradesmen, artisans and other specialists were put to use by the Mongols for these things. As well as a lot of reused equipment from Jin and Song dynasties and other defeated peoples. Further, an armour tradition already existed amongst the nomad blacksmiths even before the start of the conquests.
@@peacefulamerican4994 We are told specifically that a son of Qaidu Khan named Chapar had a thick beard and presumably fair hair. He is described as per Rashid ad-Din: "Those who have seen him have reported that he is an extremely thin person, scrawny, and with a face and beard like Rus' and Circassians. He is of middling height, thin, and has seven sons." His mother's name and origin are unknown, but we do know that his half-brother (another son of Qaidu via his chief wife Dorbajin) was named Orus, which was the Mongolian name for the Rus'. So it is implied that Chapar's mother was a woman taken from the Rus' principalities (hence his unusual appearance, by Mongol standards) and that his half-brother was perhaps even named in reference to this (the Mongols liked to name children after conquered peoples and lands). Chapar and Orus also had a bad relationship and competed to succeed their father after his death. We might suppose, Chapar was not treated too kindly by his half-brothers, being the son of a concubine, having a non-Mongolian appearance, and his brother Orus even being named after the conquest of Chapar's mother's homeland.
Otherwise, dark hair, dark eyes and reddish faces are fairly consistent descriptions of the Mongols and the Chinggisids' appearance across European, Chinese and Islamic sources.
Please consider not using the bubble popping sound effect. It becomes annoying when only listening to the video with earphones. I had to stop listening after a few minutes. 👎
When Temüjin was a boy, the center of the steppe world was the Orkhon Valley, the old imperial site of the Türks. The valley was dominated by the Kereit. To the west, on the upper Irtysh River, lay Naiman territory. The Kereit and Naiman, not the Mongols, were masters of the steppe. The Kereit and Naiman elites spoke Turkic and had partially converted to Christianity under the influence of the Nestorian Church. In an effort to out do each other, To'oril of the Kereit and Tayang Qan of the Naiman accumulated men, weapons, alliances, and prestige. Yesügei Ba'atur sided with the Kereit. Later Chinggis Khan would subdue the Kereit and the Naiman in the course of a protracted effort to defeat all challengers among the steppe peoples. The Horde How the Mongols Changed the World Marie Favereau, p.32-33
@@SaifKhagan during the height of its power and influences, the Qipchaq Guard was official 42 units of 1000 divided into a Left and Right Qipchaq Guard. So a little over 4 tumens. In theory, a nominal strength of about 42,000. However, the Yuan accounts are rather clear that the decimal units were rarely, if ever full strength. This was so consistent that they would actually categorize them. To quote Christopher Atwood: "From 1284, at least, the decimal units were classified into upper, middle, and lower in size, with the upper having at least 7,000/700/70 households [for tumen/minggan/jaggun], middle having 5,000/500 and lower having 3,000/300/50 households (Hsiao 1978: 170-171). The actual figures for the eleven tümens in Central Tibet, the only ones for which figures have survived, range from 5,850 households down to 500 households in size." (Atwood, 2012, pg. 26). Realistically, this 42,000 troops is probably closer 20-30,000. In terms of actual Qipchaqs, they were only a part of this (concentrated in the core and command). All of the Yuan 'ethnic' Guard units (Qangli Quard, Asud{Alan} Guard, Tangut Guard) were made up of various Mongol, Turkic, Tangut, Jurchen, Khitan, even Chinese all in addition to the group that gave the name. This disparity between the name and the actual makeup of the guard seems to have grown over the fourteenth century. I do not believe there exists, though, actual breakdowns to what this looked like % wise.
There are a handful of sources stating things along the lines of the Mongols reaching a "northern Ocean," and apparently evidence for some sort of Yuan presence in Kamchatka Peninsula. However, as we do not have sources from the Siberian point-of-view, it is very difficult to know how far that rule extended or what it actually looked like. When people making modern maps of the Mongol Empire, the northern border they show is always an artificial one; we don't know what the northern border actually was, and probably they did not quite know either.
@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory Yeah the maps always bugged me because I consider the Mongols as one of the most practical groups of people in history, so one would assume that they would want natural borders between conquests. So when I see a map of, say the golden horde, I always think about how there's almost no natural borders
I'm Mongolian. We are still fighting and hating each other today. No unity in Mongolian people. 80%-90% of people are selfish and have high ego. I think we will never be same empire that was used to be. Also people are very greedy.
I love the Mongolic peoples and appreciate the video, but Turkic peoples are so often overlooked. Their fighting amongst themselves was fierce. (And indeed, the Mongol empire coils accurately be described as a Mongolic-Turkic empire given the amount of the latter who were involved in it.)
Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home. May, T.M., 2012. The Mongol conquests in world history, London: Reaktion Books. p.222
@@user-qg4ln4wl3x not really, the fortresses and cities were the only strongholds who slowed down the mongol advance at least for a bit. The only significant resistance came from the shah‘s son who also had to retreat to the Indus Valley and abandoned the realm
@@Kili2807 but what if the shah makes Jaloliddin Manguberdi his son to main commandor of the army in the start of the war, could he make the difference, because If I am not mistaken, his son offered open skirmish rather than just waiting them in their castles. Also, Shah divided his army to small pieces which was also critized by Jaloliddin.
Before the rise of Genghis Khan Mongolic was spreading at westward and absorbing Turkic speakers (Janhunen, 2008). During the Mongol expansion, Turkic speakers whose tribes and states had been incorporated into the Mongol empire were so much more numerous than Mongols that, although Mongolian was the language of command, it was Turkic rather than Mongolic speech that was chiefly spread across Central Asia and the central and western steppe.

when are we getting another wars of the diadochi video
working on it
Will there by any videos on Golden Horde successor states?
Haha, horses go brrr
Excellent video 📹
Greatest Empire with great wealth and vast lands.
The title is hugely misleading. There is no tactics mentioned.
All this painting is so good and realistic according Mongolian 🇲🇳 national museum paiters
In my notifications it cut of at fi and I thought this was a vid about how mongols fish
If all these armies had just worked together...
if that happened today In the world only Mongolians
The mongol empire reached it's greatest extent under Kubilai Khan, sure Genghis started it all but Subutai and Kubilai were the major players
Chinggis khaan started it from nothing and Kubilai khan started it from World Strongest biggest Empire
Fascinating
They passed through each other.
I saw Burmese war elephants in the intro. Any plan to make videos about centuries long Burmese Siamese wars?
At some point
The visual of Kublai ordering his mongol troops to attack other mongols and they dismount and start kicking it instead.
Would like to see Mongol invasion of Burma and Tibet.
Our great Khaans used every resource, whether it was Turkic, Korean and Chinese troops as auxilaries, Uyghur and Persian Statesmen, Daoist, Muslim and Buddhist theologians. This was one of the great powers of our people: Using multiculturalism and the benefits of each culture for what they are good at. The only mistake, was this hereditary rule. Chinghis Khaan Temujin grew into greatest steppe power, because he selected people based on their Deeds and Competance, not their race or lineage... until he made the mistake of allowing his sons and grandsons to govern land they were too inept or greedy/ambitious to lead.
But, this is why Mongols were the best people to lead the steppe, because our people didn't care about petty "nationalism" like many of the "Turkic" nations did.
Could we get some overheadview examples of how the Mongols successfully fought each other? 13:13
Okay, so this is a phenomenal vid, and I enjoyed it very much, so please know I say this with all the love in my heart, it boils down to "Mongols weren't very good at defending themselves from other Mongols" 🤣
How did Mongols fight Mongols? I'd guess all the time in the traditional way. The Mongol Empire was a singular point in time where they did not fight each other (that much).
This was interesting. But, I was expecting to see at least some accounts of battles. come on!! haw do two army's who famously use kiting and blitzkrieg attacks fight when fighting each other? The history was cool. and you showed haw it happened in terms of geography, supply lines. but actual battles... And if you don't really know then you could speculate in a way your audience would enjoy. for example you could get two Total War player to use all horse archers and see what tactics they can come up over a few weeks. then speculate about that in a short 5-10 minutes. could be fun. 🤷♂
Could you make a video about how Hungarians beat the golden horde?
Great video btw!
It's interesting to see how mongol tactics stagnated against each other. The answer was almost always defined BEFORE the battle or case-by-case, there was never a universal antimongol answer
Cool
This might be a stupid question,but would you ever do documentaries on pre historic people?
It is not really our specialty. Paleoanthropology is a very specialized field. Maybe down the line.
I'm talking more of the rise of civilization as in 10k-7k thousand years ago rather than hunter gatherer era 300k years ago@@KingsandGenerals

Удивительно, как мало Монгольская Империя дала миру и как быстро начала разбирать сама себя. Монголы на завоёванных территориях полностью впитали местную культуру, мало чего к ней добавив. Монголы в Монголии вернулись к анархии до-чингисовых времён сразу после потери Китая. Наверно это как пример: монгольская культурная пустота уничтожила их как единую нацию, только в 16-17 веке остатки "диких" монгол смогли сформировать новую идентичность.
Здесь, к сожалению, мало именно про тактику монгол против монгол. Но, насколько я понимаю, в дело шёл тот же фланговый охват с тычками клиньев тяжёлой кавалерии. При равенстве сторон в тактическом плане, решалось у кого воинов больше и лучше.
As a Mongolian must say somthing about todays turk seljuks! 1) Chinges Haan is Mongolian Kung with 100 💯 Mongol DNA
2) in the history don’t have turcik Mongol
So in short, the Mogol Empire was not much different than the Holy Roman Empire.

Who made the armor?
Armourers in Mongol service. All the captured tradesmen, artisans and other specialists were put to use by the Mongols for these things. As well as a lot of reused equipment from Jin and Song dynasties and other defeated peoples. Further, an armour tradition already existed amongst the nomad blacksmiths even before the start of the conquests.
@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory Thanks. Please allow me to pivot. Where are the blue eyed/blond haired Mongols? (from the slaves).
@@peacefulamerican4994 We are told specifically that a son of Qaidu Khan named Chapar had a thick beard and presumably fair hair. He is described as per Rashid ad-Din: "Those who have seen him have reported that he is an extremely thin person, scrawny, and with a face and beard like Rus' and Circassians. He is of middling height, thin, and has seven sons." His mother's name and origin are unknown, but we do know that his half-brother (another son of Qaidu via his chief wife Dorbajin) was named Orus, which was the Mongolian name for the Rus'. So it is implied that Chapar's mother was a woman taken from the Rus' principalities (hence his unusual appearance, by Mongol standards) and that his half-brother was perhaps even named in reference to this (the Mongols liked to name children after conquered peoples and lands). Chapar and Orus also had a bad relationship and competed to succeed their father after his death. We might suppose, Chapar was not treated too kindly by his half-brothers, being the son of a concubine, having a non-Mongolian appearance, and his brother Orus even being named after the conquest of Chapar's mother's homeland.
Otherwise, dark hair, dark eyes and reddish faces are fairly consistent descriptions of the Mongols and the Chinggisids' appearance across European, Chinese and Islamic sources.
@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory Yes. As we see many ethnic Russians with 'almond shaped' eyes. What happened to the Euro slaves of the Mongols?
It's "khaganat"
Please consider not using the bubble popping sound effect. It becomes annoying when only listening to the video with earphones. I had to stop listening after a few minutes. 👎
Was Bayan a son of Subetei?
In this kind off battle Mongols always won !
When Temüjin was a boy, the center of the steppe world was the Orkhon Valley, the old imperial site of the Türks. The valley was dominated by the Kereit. To the west, on the upper Irtysh River, lay Naiman territory. The Kereit and Naiman, not the Mongols, were masters of the steppe. The Kereit and Naiman elites spoke Turkic and had partially converted to Christianity under the influence of the Nestorian Church. In an effort to out do each other, To'oril of the Kereit and Tayang Qan of the Naiman accumulated men, weapons, alliances, and prestige. Yesügei Ba'atur sided with the Kereit. Later Chinggis Khan would subdue the Kereit and the Naiman in the course of a protracted effort to defeat all challengers among the steppe peoples.

I don't think any of them can compare to Hulagu or Kubilai, those squabbling kingdoms fought each other while the Khans fought the entire world

How large would the Qipchaq guard have been? Was it the size of a Tumen?
Tumen is usually 10k
@@KingsandGenerals So is that the size of the Qipchaq guard is my question? Did actual Qipchaq horse archers make up that number?
@@SaifKhagan during the height of its power and influences, the Qipchaq Guard was official 42 units of 1000 divided into a Left and Right Qipchaq Guard. So a little over 4 tumens. In theory, a nominal strength of about 42,000. However, the Yuan accounts are rather clear that the decimal units were rarely, if ever full strength. This was so consistent that they would actually categorize them. To quote Christopher Atwood: "From 1284, at least, the decimal units were classified into upper, middle, and lower in size, with the upper having at least 7,000/700/70 households [for tumen/minggan/jaggun], middle having 5,000/500 and lower having 3,000/300/50 households (Hsiao 1978: 170-171). The actual figures for the eleven tümens in Central Tibet, the only ones for which figures have survived, range from 5,850 households down to 500 households in size." (Atwood, 2012, pg. 26).
Realistically, this 42,000 troops is probably closer 20-30,000. In terms of actual Qipchaqs, they were only a part of this (concentrated in the core and command). All of the Yuan 'ethnic' Guard units (Qangli Quard, Asud{Alan} Guard, Tangut Guard) were made up of various Mongol, Turkic, Tangut, Jurchen, Khitan, even Chinese all in addition to the group that gave the name. This disparity between the name and the actual makeup of the guard seems to have grown over the fourteenth century. I do not believe there exists, though, actual breakdowns to what this looked like % wise.
How about that all conquering flag at the end!!!!!
Ah yes, the epic battle between the great Batu Khan and his adversary, General Am Ka Ming from China.

Why Mongols did not conquer Siberia ?
Few forest people lived in Siberia, and under the rule of the Mongol Empire, the great government /Ikh Zasag/ ruled under the law.
They did. At least the part where people lived.
There are a handful of sources stating things along the lines of the Mongols reaching a "northern Ocean," and apparently evidence for some sort of Yuan presence in Kamchatka Peninsula. However, as we do not have sources from the Siberian point-of-view, it is very difficult to know how far that rule extended or what it actually looked like. When people making modern maps of the Mongol Empire, the northern border they show is always an artificial one; we don't know what the northern border actually was, and probably they did not quite know either.
@@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory Yeah the maps always bugged me because I consider the Mongols as one of the most practical groups of people in history, so one would assume that they would want natural borders between conquests. So when I see a map of, say the golden horde, I always think about how there's almost no natural borders
I'm Mongolian. We are still fighting and hating each other today. No unity in Mongolian people. 80%-90% of people are selfish and have high ego. I think we will never be same empire that was used to be. Also people are very greedy.
That applies to any other nation tho

6:02 Hello Gao Ding of Nanman Army, reincarnated into a General of mongols eh,!! don't you miss Kongming already.!?
I love the Mongolic peoples and appreciate the video, but Turkic peoples are so often overlooked. Their fighting amongst themselves was fierce. (And indeed, the Mongol empire coils accurately be described as a Mongolic-Turkic empire given the amount of the latter who were involved in it.)
Now Koreans have to deal with Chinese in Manchuria.
Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home.

How Khwarazmians defend against Mongols?
Not that well
@@Kili2807 I think they had to engage open battle, instead of waiting Mongol in their castles.
@@user-qg4ln4wl3x not really, the fortresses and cities were the only strongholds who slowed down the mongol advance at least for a bit. The only significant resistance came from the shah‘s son who also had to retreat to the Indus Valley and abandoned the realm
@@Kili2807 but what if the shah makes Jaloliddin Manguberdi his son to main commandor of the army in the start of the war, could he make the difference, because If I am not mistaken, his son offered open skirmish rather than just waiting them in their castles. Also, Shah divided his army to small pieces which was also critized by Jaloliddin.
Before the rise of Genghis Khan Mongolic was spreading at westward and absorbing Turkic speakers (Janhunen, 2008). During the Mongol expansion, Turkic speakers whose tribes and states had been incorporated into the Mongol empire were so much more numerous than Mongols that, although Mongolian was the language of command, it was Turkic rather than Mongolic speech that was chiefly spread across Central Asia and the central and western steppe.
