What period of Mongol History should I cover next?

Indonesia is by far my favorite. Because they really just confused the hell out of the Mongols by surrendering super quickly, directed all their forces to wasteful campaigns whilst feigning loyalty, and were generally just such bad subjects that the Mongols decided it wasn't worth it and left. It has a similar energy to malicious compliance.

Mongols: Nah, I’d win
Japanese: Ah, my anti-mongol typhoon spam technique I haven’t used since the Heian era

[spittyjr.]

Everybody asks how to beat Mongols, but no one asks how are the Mongols. Maybe the Mongols need friends.

[jamesmclemore]

Fun fact: Modern Mongolia still has a navy, despite being completely land locked.

[Maggot-Milk]

It's insane to think of cultures halfway across the planet from eachother all fighting the same dudes

[SquigPie]

I like how everyone is relying either on luck or attrition, and then you have the Indonesians playing 4D chess and the Mamluks just straight up beating the mongols at their own game.

The Japanese beach defenses didn't really fail. They inflicted grievous losses on the Mongol armies from their shore defenses, causing the mongols to stay on their ships where they were eventually hit by a storm. The madlad Japanese were actually getting onto boats THEMSELVES to attack mongols in their ships, which caused the mongols to lash their ships together so that they could better respond to these Japanese naval raids. It was the lashing together of ships that meant they were terribly equipped to deal with a storm. So if it wasn't for Japanese military success the Mongols would not have been severely affected by the typhoon.

Fun facts: The mongols invasion of Vietnam is surprisingly similar to the Napoleonic invasion of Russia, half a millenium later.
Both armies seemed invincible going into war, both relied on their mobility to overwhelm opponents.
Both had rapid early success, captured the capital cities but the vietnameses and russians abandoned their capital and employed attrition warfare.
As the war dragged on, the mongols and the frenchs were then severely weakened by guerilla attacks, the weather, diseases, lack of food and other logistic problems.
When they retreated, they faced ambushes and counter attacks and suffered catastrophic defeats, to the point their grand armies were close to be wiped out completely.

Number 7 - the Latin Way

when the Mongols sent you a letter of Heavenly Mandate, send them a letter of the Mandate of Heaven.

Mongol to Indonesia : we're allies right?
Indonesia to mongol : about

[TerraGreatestLoveMachine]

Mongols: haha we captured your capitals, that means we won
Vietnamese: we don't do that here.
Mongols: ???

[ksatriamadangdolan]

Mongol: Submit!
Majapahit: No
Mongol: *bring army. Submit?
Majapahit: Help me and I'm yours...
Mongol: *help. Submit now?
Majapahit: No

option 4 is quite funny actually.

kublai khan's army came to java to punish kertanegara of singosari kingdom for not paying their tributes to the khan. when they arrived, kertanegara was already usurped by jayakatwang of kediri kingdom. so they tried to tax the new kingdom, which they failed.

so a guy named raden wijaya of majapahit, who was allied with the deceased kertanegara of singosari, worked together with the khan's army to depose jayakatwang of kediri.

after achieving victory, raden wijaya invited the khan's officials back to his estate to collect their tributes, but warned them not to bring weapons, as princesses cannot handle the sight of weapons. 200 of the khan's men came unarmed to the estate, got shanked immediately (well whaddya expect), demoralising the khan's army, and proceed to chase the rest of the main mongolian army back to the ocean with ambush tactics

Japan really said: "I have the power of God and Anime on my side"
