How the Chinese Defended Against the Mongols - Medieval DOCUMENTARY

One big reason for Song's weakness on military is they are afraid of warlord. The warlord become a bige problem and almost autonomous after An Lushan's rebellion in Mid Tang, and they never managed to fix it till the wardlord end the Tang Dynasty. So Government of Song control military force strictly.

Perhaps the last gasp of the Mongol threat to China were the Dzungars. They were one of the greatest enemies faced by the Qing Dynasty, but in the end were exterminated by the Qing.

Mongol armies caused widespread slaughter, loot and destruction in Xi Xia kingdom and Jin Empire in North China and Song Empire of South China as well as Goryeo kingdom of Korea as well as in Tsushima, Iki islands and Hakata-ku of Fukuoka in Japan in East Asia as well as several Islamic sultanates in Central Asia and Middle East such as Ayyubid Sultanate, Abbasid Caliphate and Khwarezmian Shahdom.

In fact, the level of warfare technology in Mongolia was higher than that of the Song Dynasty. The Mongols had a large number of siege techniques from the northern Han people and western Central Asians to break through the fortified cities of the Song Dynasty. Although the attack lasted for more than 40 years.

It's truly only fair to talk about Genghis Khan. His successors tried to hold on to his gains. Prior to his uniting them the Mongols, Tartars and others tribes had been divided by China to keep their strength low. After uniting them the Khan also adopted the skills of his enemies and used them against them. Whatever you think of his tactics he controlled lands from the sea of Japan to Poland. On his best day Alexander of Macedonia wished he could do as well. Their natural abilities also made them hard to deal with. They could live on mares milk and blood for 10 days and travel 1000 miles in that time. They also were skilled at mounted archery, the Japanese being the only ones comparable. Tough folks. The lessons that I take from them are unity, flexibility and resolve. We need to defeat the same enemy, imperial China.

I like how they call them Chinese, not their actually name: HAN

The congenital disorder Trisomy 21 (Down's/mongoloid) was named after the phenotype and likeness of Mongolians.

Which Chinese Dynasty had the best music? The Song dynasty

why are you using pictures of ming dynasty emperors for the jin dynasty?

This is basically the story of how the Chinese kicked the Europeans out of Asia.

What about the Art of War strategy

How Novgorod stopped the mongols?

Dude mongols lost to a sultan

Hi there. Thanks to your videos. I'm a fan and subscriber. By the way, the images that you used for Jin Emperor is actually the images of Ming Emperor (the dynasty after the Yuan and before the Qing). Love from Viet Nam.

How the Chinese Defended against the Mongols?
- They didn't.
Fin.

Manchus are not Mongols... idiot. way to gloss over the part where Manchus were mercenaries of Ming. dumb

Thanks!

Song army is too weak to combat the Mongols....

Fun Fact: the Chinese had the most successes against the mongals besides the mamluks, Blessed Be.

Why chinese built great wall?

Answer to the title. They didn't 😂

What do you mean by Chinese "invaders"? "Infamous" long wall? That is how you add your propaganda into an "objective" history videos??

What is the source for the Jin armies beating Subedei? I’ve never heard of any army beating Subedei the invincible. Also, he wasn’t exactly a rising general. He had been with Genghis Khan for a long long time.

Please make a dedicated documentary about the rise of the Qing empire.

There’s a Cold War channel?

why didn't the Chinese just follow a policy of extermination of any people they found on the steppe along with a scorched earth policy of the region every year or so? the steppe tribes were never that big so it should have been easy to keep them small. the Qing finally seemed to get it.

weak Chinese army always loser

That's such a beauty how Nomads conquered chinese women into silent submission.

MUSLIMS screwed Mongols. Mongols screwed chinese. MUSLIMS >>> chinese.

So the French borrowed from the Chinese when erecting the Maginot line to, theoretically, slow down the invading Germans for about 2 weeks by which time the French should be mobilized and in place to stop the Germanic horde!

Mongols were only able to invade part of China when the dynasties were in an internal conflict.. and the last great dynasty was already in transition.. Moguls run is a fragment and tiny period of years in history of things when compared to other dynastic rules.

for 300 years mongols rules over china after that the manchu ruled over china 300 years for the last 800 years china had it's freedom only 200 years and nowadays china is only 75 years old even word china is associated with chin dynasty lol

Simple, China has 1000:1 the population of Mongolia

P

Doap

I have a picture taken on the southern border of the Gobi of what I was told was part of the Great Wall complex (actually many walls over a long period). This wall was made of mud bricks interspersed with reeds. I wonder if it was the work of the first emperor.

Oirat Mongol & Tatar Mongol

impressed with the pronunciation

Ppl always getting "the wrong end of the stick " about the Mongols, they were not just mindless barbarians, they were masters of trade, commerce n administration, they made the whole Asian continent safe n presided over one of the biggest empire's we have ever seen, viva la Mongols

Title misleading. Chinese was modern word. Before it was Qing Dynasty

Người Việt đã dạy người Trung Quốc cách đánh bại quân Mông Cổ 😁😁

Chinese and Mongol wars are the most underrated history. Something which the Chinese are not really proud of

주르첸은 중국인도 아니고 중국 역사도 아님

Until the British, the Mongols were the biggest threat to China, and the Chinese even had to rely on other minority tribes to resist the Mongols.

Today's China has been formed by the interbreeding of many ethnic minorities and Chinese people for thousands of years, and the real China may be more similar to the Japanese.

20 times bigger. But got crushed. That is no defense.

You said fire lances but displayed a graphic displaying a nest of bees. 🫢
