Sweaty weather in gold account

The Mongolian empire established by Genghis Khan was huge. When he was alive, he waged many wars. So far, when we talk about the Yuan Dynasty, we all think that this empire swept across Asia and Europe, and the Caspian Sea is only one of the inland seas, and the north even crossed Lake Baikal. There is no doubt about the fighting capacity of their troops. In Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, it is called "Yellow Disaster" because of the fear of Mongolian cavalry killing the city.

If such a strong team went to Japan, wouldn't it be gratifying? Genghis Khan did consider it, and when Kublai Khan arrived, he put the idea into practice. When he first attacked Japan, the Southern Song Dynasty was not even completely extinct. There is a simple reason. Japan refused to yield to Mongolia. This battle was known as the "Battle of Wenyong" and ended in a fiasco of the Yuan Army. If you want to ask the reason, you can write a short article. Simply put, the wind and waves are too heavy and you are not familiar with the terrain.

This is similar to the reason why Napoleon and Hitler conquered Europe but couldn't beat Moscow. We have to admit that, whether in modern or ancient times, terrain and climatic conditions sometimes really determine the outcome of the war. The Yuan Dynasty sent 30,000 people, including Mongols, Koreans and Han Chinese, but half of them died in a storm at sea. After the other half landed, it took advantage at first. However, Japan was fighting at home, so it was able to gather the strength of the whole country to fight, and with the convenience of the terrain, the situation was quickly reversed.

After that, Kublai Khan launched the second campaign to attack Japan, which was called "the Battle of Hong 'an" in history. This time, the investment of both sides was far better than that of the last war, and the ending ended in the fiasco of the Yuan Dynasty, for the same reason, the weather and the wind and waves. Why did Jian Zhen's voyages to the West succeed many times? Because the wind and waves on the road are too big. I even think, if it weren't for Japan, a relatively isolated island, this might be the second "imperial tomb".
