What was the real reason for the failure of the Yuan Dynasty s two invasions of Japan

The Yuan Dynasty army attacked Japan in the late 13th century, known as the Kamakura period of Japan, which was essentially a war of aggression. At that time, Kublai Khan, the reigning ruler of Mongolia, attacked Japan one after another. However, because of the hurricanes at sea during the sea crossing three times and twice, the Yuan Dynasty army suffered heavy losses every time it attacked Japan, and did not achieve great results, so it can be said that it ended in failure.

On the one hand, the reason is that the Yuan Dynasty army has a low quality of water warfare, the Yuan Dynasty army is excellent in land operations, and sea operations are weak, and the two sea-crossing operations against Japan are weak instead of strong; On the other hand, the army of the Yuan Dynasty was not well prepared for battle, and there was no follow-up support force after crossing the sea and suffering from strong sea winds, and the composition of the army that invaded Japan was composed of Mongols, Koreans, Jurchens, etc., and the army was not uniform; On the other hand, it was indeed subjected to a powerful sea hurricane. To sum up, this is the real reason for the failure of the Yuan Dynasty's two invasions of Japan.

The reserves were not well prepared, and the troops were not replenished in a timely manner.

Because the Song Dynasty was too weak, the nomads were not strong in combat, but good at using fear to crush their opponents and break morale. When you meet a tough guy, you will be soft, run away, and bully even more useless, which is the so-called wolf philosophy. Most of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were peasants, and they had to come to fight as a last resort, while the Mongols were for money and women, which was different.

Only private soldiers have combat effectiveness, and private soldiers are a national taboo.

The Yuan Dynasty was able to annexKorean Peninsula, and the reason why both conquests of Japan ended in failureMongol armyThey were not good at sea warfare, and the Mongol army encountered bad weather during the attack on Japan, which led to heavy losses.

The Yuan Dynasty was arguably the largest dynasty in history, controlling more than 33 million square kilometers at its peak.

The Yuan Dynasty occupied the Korean Peninsula and set up the Eastern Province of Sun Xian on the Korean Peninsula, and then faced Japan across the sea, and was interested in unifying the world of Kublai Khan.

In order to incorporate Japan into its territory, he sent troops to conquer Japan twice in 1274 and 1281, but unfortunately both ended in failure, and many people are puzzled that it once swept across the entire Eurasian continent.

Why did the Mongolian Iron Cavalry fail to conquer Japan in the land of projectiles, and suffered heavy losses, is it that Japan's combat effectiveness at that time was stronger than Mongolia, in fact, it is not the case, if there is no sea to block, I believe that Japan would have been taken by the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, the following is to analyze the reasons for the failure of the two conquests against Japan:

1. The Mongol army was not good at sea warfare

Mongolia is a landlocked country.

It is bordered on land on all sides, which also makes the Mongolian commanders have never been exposed to sea warfare, and those iron horsemen who swept across Europe and Asia have become fledgling schoolchildren at sea, and although Japan and Korea are separated by hundreds of miles of straits, many Mongolian soldiers and war horses will be seasick, even if they quarrel ashore, they can not exert their full combat effectiveness.

Second, bad weather helped Japan

During the Mongol attack on Japan, they encountered extreme weather.

Most of the soldiers' losses were due to the weather, the first defeat was completely lost to the weather, and the second time, although some soldiers landed on the Japanese mainland, many soldiers died of illness due to not adapting to life on the ship, and finally failed.

This is due to the fact that the Yuan Dynasty Yanshou Liang did not have enough troops when he fought, and he felt that he didn't need too many troops to conquer this place, so he ignored the opponent's ability, and the potato hole so Yu Kuan did not win.

It's because the Japanese are insidious and cunning. And they're always going to sneak up on them from behind. And we Chinese are above board, and we fell for their conspiracy.

The main reason is that it is a cross-sea operation, and there will be a lot of inconvenience when fighting, so the two battles have not been won.

The Yuan Dynasty is one of the few great dynasties in China's feudal history, and its largest territory spanned Europe and Asia, and even Russia was ours. Genghis Khan's iron horse, everywhere he went, planted a flag, this is the territory of my Great Yuan, so domineering. But by the time of Kublai Khan, he attacked Japan twice, and both times suffered Waterloo.

There are objective and subjective reasons for this. The objective reason was the impact of natural disasters, and it is recorded that some results were achieved in the early stage of the first attack, and the Japanese soldiers were "defeated". But for some reason, one night there was a sudden storm, which in turn caught the Yuan army by surprise, and the heavy losses caused the plan to attack Japan to be put on hold.

The second time they went to attack Japan, the Japanese side had learned the lesson of the first time and made some preparations. At that time, Japan built a wall on the border of defense, this wall made the Yuan army suffer a lot, because the first time did not bring war horses, the second attack also brought war horses, but the war horses did not come in handy in the second battle, it is because of the existence of this wall.

And this time, there is a typhoon again, and this time the typhoon is even better than the last one. It blew the entire Yuan army to stagger, let alone fight, and it couldn't even stand on its feet. Japan was able to turn the tide of the war with the help of this typhoon, and the second attack was declared bankrupt.

The subjective reason is that our technology was really not very advanced at that time, after all, it was the world that was acquired immediately, and we were not proficient in some military equipment at sea. The ship built could not withstand the typhoon. As long as the typhoon comes, she will be like a weak woman, and she will lean into the arms of others.

If the Ming Dynasty was so advanced, let alone attacking Japan, I would believe you when you said that you would cross the Pacific Ocean to occupy the North American colonies.

Because of Japan's unique geographical location, it is an island that surrounds it, and the Yuan Dynasty did not have the technology of this kind of warfare.

Genghis Khan's troops of the Yuan Dynasty preferred to fight on land, but the distance between them and Japan was a bit far, and the troops and resources were limited, so they did not succeed in attacking them.

Because the troops of the Yuan Dynasty were adapted to fighting on land, they were not adapted and suitable to fight at sea; Japan has the advantage of geographical advantages.

In Japan, there will be a kamikaze ** team, because the warships of the Yuan Dynasty on the two expeditions to Japan were blown by the sea breeze in Japan'Destroyed, the losses were serious, and the troops had to be withdrawn, because of these two gales, Japan only had a kamikaze ** team.

Because the troops of the Yuan Dynasty were all on horseback, they were not very familiar with river battles, let alone naval battles? So fighting at sea is their weak point. His vast territory was fought by land.

Because there was a need for an expedition at that time, the long distance would definitely make the soldiers physically exhausted, so they could not exert their strength when fighting.

Because there is a sea between the Central Plains and Japan, it will be easier to cross the mountains than across the sea, after all, the navy cannot be said to be very good until now, let alone in the past.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the shipbuilding industry was not developed, and Japan and the Yuan Dynasty faced each other across the sea, which created a situation where the Yuan Dynasty failed to attack Japan many times!

The Yuan Dynasty relied on horses to fight the world, like *** said, "Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle", no matter how strong he is, he can't touch the water, and he will be stunned when he fights a water war, and he will definitely not be able to take Japan.

The ships that attacked Japan twice capsized at sea in the face of typhoons, ** severely.

The Yuan-Japanese War was a war between the Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan and his vassal state Goryeo in 1274 and 1281. These two invasions were collectively known in Japan as "Yuankou" or "Mongol Attack", or according to the Japanese year at that time, the battle to resist the first attack of the Yuan army was called the "Battle of Bunei", and the second was the "Battle of Hongan". The Kamakura and Muromachi periods were also called murderers (Mongol attack, foreign thieves attack, Mongol war, foreign war), and the Edo period was called Motoko in the history of Japan. These two invasions also used Kitakyushu as the main battlefield.

Although these two attempts of aggression ultimately failed, they still played a very important role in macrohistory. These two wars are among the most famous events in Japanese history, and they have played an important role in world history due to their role in preventing the expansion of the Mongol Empire and the Yuan Dynasty. These two incidents are mentioned in many **, and the word kamikaze was born from this.

In addition, apart from what happened at the end of World War II, these two failed invasion attempts are arguably the greatest threat of aggression that Japan has faced in more than a thousand years.

First of all, during the Yuan Dynasty, China was also invaded, and this is the primary problem. Because we are not equal to the Mongols. We are in the same state status as Korea, Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe, and they are all invaded.

Kublai Khan crossed the sea twice to fight Japan, but he was unsuccessful (he did not land on the Japanese island, encountered a storm at sea, suffered heavy losses, and gave up landing on the island). Since you are looking for information on this subject, there are many books, I recommend you a few books, "History of the Mongol Empire", "Steppe Empire" from the Commercial Press.

ps: You don't have to deny the nature of the Mongol war, he is aggression, China at that time was actually the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty and their vassal states (because they all belong to the Chinese civilization circle, Jin Liao has long intermarried with the Han people, and the culture has also been assimilated), and the Korean being beaten by the Mongols is theoretically an invasion. And the Mongols, from Genghis Khan, to the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, and even to their demise, did not regard the Han people as equal status with their Mongols.

At that time, the Mongols invaded Jin, Liao, and Song, and killed many people. Specifically, you can read books such as "History of the Song Dynasty", "History of Liao", and "Continuation of Capital and Governance".

It's just a comic, don't take it seriously.

After the destruction of the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan launched a series of wars against neighboring countries.

In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, the invading Japanese army returned in vain.

In the eighteenth year, he attacked Japan in two ways, and the Mongol, Han and Goryeo armies led by the instigation capital crossed the Tsushima Strait from Goryeo, and Fan Wenhu led the new annexed army (the Southern Song Dynasty army incorporated by Yuan **) from Qingyuan (now Ningbo, Zhejiang) to the north of the floating sea. The Yuan army encountered a hurricane on Eagle Island in Japan, and the warships were damaged, and the generals drowned many of them, and they were covered up and killed by the Japanese army, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

The Yuan Dynasty invaded Japan, and there was this thing, but because the Yuan Dynasty was invincible on land and lacked experience at sea, the two invasions of Japan were in vain.

When the Mongols invaded us, more than half of the Han people died, and the Han people were left from 60 million to more than 10 million, so not to mention China's invasion of Japan, it was not China... It was sent by the Mongol colonists.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan crossed the sea to fight Japan, but was unsuccessful.

No, China is a socialist country, and it is said that it is an empire.
