The most unlucky position in mongol army: envoys

Let’s not ignore the fact they had arguably 3 of the greatest generals that ever lived in temujin, subatai and jebei

Never have been so fast. Love the Mongol history series!

[mikotagayuna]

Perhaps the most admirable trait of the Mongol Army is their constant willingness to adapt new tactics and technology to compensate for the limitations of their style of steppe warfare. They were so adaptive that they usually "go native" with the peoples they conquer.

Here are the literal translation of terms shown here, and their modern versions. I put correct old terms in a bracket

Bara'un-qar - Baruun gar - Right hand ( or wing )
Jun-qar - Zuun gar - Left hand ( or wing )
Ordu - Ord - Tent or Palace ( High command)
Arban - Arvan - Ten ( Unit designation)
Jagun (Jigun) - Zuun - Hundred ( Unit designation)
Minggan - Myangan - Thousand (Unit designation)
Tumen - Arvan Myangan - Ten Thousand (Tumen is not used a lot in modern Mongolian)
Kheshig - Khishig - Gift or Favor
Khevtuul - Khevtuul - The ones who are lying down (Night guards)
Turaqut (Torguud) - Torgon Tsereg - Silks or The ones who wear silk
Bahadur (Bagatur) - Baatar - Hero or Brave one
Qorchi (Khorchi) - Khorchin - Bow maker or bearer (archaic word)

There are currently multiple Mongolian clans who bear military names such as Tumed, Torguud, Khorchin, Myangad

Special props to you for pronouncing Gengis Khan correctly. It soothes my soul!

[johnrockwell]

Amazing the Bodyguard is so loyal to Genghis Khan in contrast to the Roman Praetorian Guard to Roman Emperors.

[zehanazani]

It's incredible to see Mongolian leader to create one of the greatest unit army on history. More effective and efficient make mongol empire can conquer so many land. Thanks for genghis khan and also subutei and jebei

It seems to be one of the world history and war history videos that clearly shows how the world conqueror, the Mongol Empire, was able to become the world's number one army. It is useful for studying world history and war history. For reference, the origin of the 'Samshir', also known as the crescent moon military sword, is a military sword from the Mongol Empire. The Mongol army was the first to use a crescent-shaped military sword. As the Mongol Empire colonized Persia (Iran), the Mongol army's sword naturally spread to Iran and developed into the Samshir.

세계정복자 몽골제국군이 어떻게 세계 1위의 군대가 될수있는지 확실히 잘 알려주는 세계사, 전쟁사 영상들 중 하나인것 같습니다. 세계사, 전쟁사 공부에 유익합니다. 참고로, 세계최강의 군대 몽골제국 기병대에 대한 세계사, 전쟁사 영상 훌륭합니다.

참고로 초승달 도검으로도 유명한 '샴쉬르(시미터)'의 원조가 몽골제국의 군용도검인 만곡도(신월도)이다. 초승달 모양의 도검을 가장 먼저 군용도검으로 사용한게 몽골군이었는데, 몽골제국이 페르시아(이란)을 식민지배하면서 몽골군의 도검인 신월도(만곡도)가 자연스럽게 이란에 퍼져 샴쉬르 등으로 발전하였다.

Mongol dicipline was upmost level. Even chengis khan give death order to his grandson who didnt listen his commander(probably low born). Other generals made a lot of effort to change his mind.

[jackson]

Thank you for more Mongol content. Can't get enough.

[blabodab]

It's amazing how far along the quality of these videos has come. Not to say that they were "bad" before, but it's just that I am more and more finding myself amazed by the quality of late. Keep it up, my dudes.
