How did Mongolia go into decline?

The official title of Genghis Khan's establishment of Mongolian regime is "Great Mongolia", which is generally called "Great Mongolia Period" by historians. Western historians refer to Mongolian regimes such as the Yuan Dynasty and the Four Great Khan States as "Mongolian Empire", but this name or even concept has not appeared in historical documents. This name is actually the name of the Mongolian regime before the disintegration of Great Mongolia. 13rd century is also called "Mongolian era" or "Mongolian century" by Chinese and foreign historians.

/kloc-In the 3rd century, Mongolians used to exert their military talents that shocked the world and created an unprecedented meta-empire. However, cultural backwardness leads to political backwardness.

The equipment of Mongolian soldiers is also a hot topic among historians. Generally speaking, there are two views. One holds that the equipment of Mongolian soldiers is similar to that of Liao (Khitan) soldiers in 10 to1/century, with compound bows as the mainstay, but relatively well equipped.

This view is based on Cappini's mission report. Cappini wrote in his mission report: They (referring to Mongolian soldiers) carry at least the following weapons: two or three bows, or at least one good bow; Three quiver full of arrows; An axe; Several feet are used to pull the reins of war tools. Those soldiers on the rich side are equipped with swords, and their horses are equipped with vests, helmets and breastplates. According to the records of Liao history, every Liao soldier should be equipped with three horses and nine armour, and should also be equipped with saddle pad, reins, vest skin and vest iron according to his own ability; Everyone should be equipped with four bows, 400 arrows, a long and short gun, an iron bone flower, an axe, a cymbal and so on. And prepare 200 feet of horse rope.

In contrast, Mongolian soldiers carry more equipment than Liao and Serenade, but they also gain mobility because they go into battle lightly. This is very important.

Another view is that the Mongolian empire was not strong at first, and only a few people were equipped with weapons. Except for the compound bow, other weapons and equipment are captured trophies on the battlefield. It was not until later that Mongolian talents had a professional system to equip the army.

Mongolia is just a modern ordinary country, a former China province independent from the territory of China, and has nothing special to do with the Great Mongolia in history. There have been many such countries in history.

Second, modern Mongolia has no original descendants of Genghis Khan. The surviving descendants of Genghis Khan are new immigrants who later migrated from China or Russian or other countries.

3. Mongolians have no need for unity and believe in the universal values of freedom, democracy and fraternity. So there was no unified Mongolian country before Genghis Khan, and there was never such a country after Genghis Khan.

Fourthly, China Yuan Dynasty was the only successor of Genghis Khan among Mongolian countries after Genghis Khan, and it was also the only political power that could represent all Mongolian countries.

5. The marriage between Manchu and Mongolia ran through the whole Qing Dynasty, and the royal family of Qing Dynasty married Kirby, a gold family, while the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia was even older. However, due to the introduction and circulation of flags, a large number of people in Manchu today are actually Mongolian, and there are even gold families in Manchu.

6. Russia is the successor of the Golden Account Khanate. The last few Golden Hordes are Orthodox believers. Early Russian czars intermarried with the Golden Account Khanate. Even before Russia replaced the Golden Horde, the entire Russian nation had intermarried with Mongols for generations.

7. The last independent regime established by Genghis Khan's royal family in Mongolia perished in 1783. Qi Zhong Yi, the last Mongolian prince who once held the title of county king, died in September 2007. The Golden Family is the oldest aristocrat in China.
