We all know that "the arrogant generation" Genghis Khan is the leader who has laid the most territory in my country's history and even in the world. Most people know that Genghis Khan has hit Europe now, but you know exactly where Genghis Khan hit Europe. Where is it, did the territory of the Great Mongolian Empire extend to where?
According to the records of " New Yuan History" and "Secret History of Mongolia", Genghis Khan and the Mongolian Empire under his leadership have destroyed more than 40 countries, conquered more than 720 ethnic groups, and wiped out more than a total of more than Ten million, the territory in its heyday exceeded 33 million square kilometers, and there are also historical records that even exceeded 45 million square kilometers, which is more than four times the territory of the People’s Republic of China today.
Territory of the post-Greater Mongol Empire
The territory of the post-Greater Mongol Empire extends east to the Pacific Ocean, reaches on the banks of Lake Baikal in the north, and history books also record , the Arctic Ocean, and Hungary in the south. South China Sea . If the map at that time is converted according to the current new map, it would be most of East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, West Asia, Turkey, Russia, Eastern Europe, and even Poland , Lithuania, Germany, etc. It accounted for about 22% of the total area of the world at that time, which made the whole of Europe frightened at that time. In the end, the expedition was stopped in France and Italy.
However, if all the above data are attributed to Genghis Khan's work alone, it is obviously unreasonable, because anyone who has read a little history knows that the territory laid by Genghis Khan is actually not very big. , Because the successor continues to expand.
Genghis Khan
During Genghis Khan’s reign,The first western expedition was launched. In 1219, Genghis Khan's western expedition to Huarazim continued to Volga basin, which was the beginning of Mongolia's western expedition. After the fall of the Kingdom of Khorazm, the king led his army to flee west, Genghis Khan ordered to continue the pursuit, so the Mongolian army followed the king of Khwarazm, Caspian Sea in West Vietnam, in the Black Sea and Caucasus in the Black Sea and went deep into Russia. In 1223 defeated Chincha and Russia's coalition forces. In addition, he pursued the Prince Zalandin of Khorazmah and defeated him in the Indus Valley. But even if it is stronger than Genghis Khan, there will be a day at the end of life. In 1226, because Xixia violated the covenant. After seven years of expeditions to the west, Genghis Khan finally returned to Mobei and had to embark on the journey again. Although he was sixty-four years old at the time, he still firmly believed that he still returned in triumph. His way of no return. On August 25, 1227, Genghis Khan died of illness at the age of 66.
The territory laid by Genghis Khan
When Genghis Khan died, Xixia, Jin Guo, and southern Song had not yet destroyed the country, Xixia was destroyed not long after Genghis Khan died in the Jin Dynasty. and of the Song Dynasty continued for many years before being destroyed one after another. In this way, the territory of the Genghis Khan period should not be too big. Probably only to the north of the Yellow River in China, Mongolian Plateau , northern Xinjiang and north to Lake Baikal, west to Huarazim, which is now Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. East to the Bohai Sea, the Yalu River, and the Sea of Japan, even so, the territory at that time has reached a staggering 18 million square kilometers.
After Genghis Khan passed away,Two great khan had carried out two western expeditions, namely Wokuodai and Menggo. During Wokuodai's reign, he carried out the second western expedition and conquered the Slavic kingdom of Bugar in the Caspian Sea. All races. It also destroyed Kievan Rus located in the Great Plains of Eastern Europe, defeated the coalition forces of Poland and the Holy Roman Empire, defeated Hungary, conquered Bulgaria , and once reached the northeast of Venice on the Italian peninsula. During the reign of Mong Khan, he launched the third Western Expedition and successively destroyed Mulaiyi , Arab Empire Abbasid dynasty Syria . The above-mentioned extermination of more than 40 countries and more than 720 ethnic groups is the sum of these three western expeditions. However, in the face of such a large territory, a situation that cannot be ruled will inevitably occur. After the death of Meng Khan in 1259, the Great Mongol Empire was instantly torn apart, divided into Yuan Dynasty and the four major South Koreas.
The territory laid by the successor
