Ghengis Kahn’s decedents ruled into the 20th century. His is an amazing story of conquest and it was benevolent (for the most part...if you can get beyond that “give us 10% for protection or all in this city will die” part) He and his offspring were responsible for printed currency, the postal service...and the plague that decimated Europe. (not intentionally, though)
Hessl’s an idiot about history. Consistently wet weather might have produced rain for the Mongol horseherds, but it would have played hob with the Mongols’ principal weapon - the recurve bow. Mongol bows were made of wood, horn and other materials, held together by a glue made of fish . The glue was not waterproof, and neither were the strings for the bows.
And the Mongol capital wan’t moved to Beiging because of weather. Qublai Quan moved it there after defeating his brother Ariq Boka for the Supreme Quanship of the Mongol empire because: [1] Northern China was part of the Ulus granted him by his brother Mongke Qa Quan, [2] He was also the Emperor of China [at least the Chin part; and he was well on his way to conquering the Sung].
Doubtful. More like three or four.
Ten each for a 25,000 man army would be 250,000 horses. I suspect even heavy rainfall can't produce that much grass.
Won’t have to worry about the Mongols invading my neighborhood this month.
