Where is the capital of the Yuan Dynasty?

The Yuan Dynasty was founded in 127 1, with its capital in Dadu (present-day Beijing).

The Yuan Dynasty established by Mongols (127 1 year-1368) was the first unified dynasty established by ethnic minorities in the history of China. The capital metropolis (now Beijing) experienced five emperors and eleven emperors, which lasted for 98 years.

1206, Genghis Khan Temujin unified Mobei, established Great Mongolia, and began to expand abroad, successively attacking and destroying Western Liao, Xixia, Huala, Eastern Xia, Jin and other countries. After the death of Mongolian Khan, the dispute between Alibaba brothers and Kublai Khan was triggered, which led to the division of Mongolia. 1260, Kublai Khan, established the "great unity" of the Yuan Dynasty.

1279 (in the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty), the Yuan Army wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty in the naval battle of Yashan, ending the long-term war situation. After that, the Yuan Dynasty continued to expand to the outside world, but when it went to sea to conquer Japan and Southeast Asian countries, it suffered repeated defeats and wars, such as the Yuan-Japan War, the Yuan-Vietnam War, the Yuan-Burma War and the Yuan Claw War. There were frequent coups in the mid-Yuan Dynasty, and politics was never on the right track.

In the later period, political corruption, powerful ministers in power, and increasingly serious ethnic and class contradictions led to the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor to establish the Ming Dynasty, and then the Northern Expedition expelled the Yuan court to capture Beijing. Since then, Yuan Ting retired to Mobei, known as Beiyuan in history. 1402, Chen Yuangui and Li Chi usurped power to establish Tatar, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty perished.

The territory of the yuan dynasty

The predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty was Great Mongolia. When Genghis Khan Temujin was founded in 1206, he had desert north and south and wooded areas (namely, Nebuchadnezzar Chu area). After successive generations of Mongolian Khan's management and three voyages to the West, its territory extends from the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea in the east, to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the west, to Siberia in the north and to the Persian Gulf in the south, and it has established a superpower spanning Asia and Europe.

During Genghis Khan's period, both the host king and the western king were enfeoffed. The host king is Temujin's younger brother, and most of them are grouped in the east and northeast of Saibei, which has a strong subordinate relationship. The kings of Xidao were all sons of Temujin, among whom Shu Chi, the eldest son, was enfeoffed in the Qincha grassland north of Aral Sea, Caspian Sea and Balkhash Lake, and then the Qincha khanate was established by Badou.

The second son, Chahetai, is located in the hometown of Xiliao, north of the Syr Darya River, and is known as the Chahetai khanate in history; Sanzi Wokuotai was divided into Naiman's old land, and Houhai established Wokuotai khanate; Saibei, Handi, Northeast China, Qinghai-Tibet and Dongjiang were acquired by Tuo Lei, the youngest son, and were later directly under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty.
