Why did Kublai Khan defeat his neighbors twice, and did his neighbors have world leading technology

Not because the neighboring countries had the world's leading technology at that time, but because of some objective reasons, such as weather reasons, geographical advantages, and so on. Kublai Khan galloped on the battlefield, but he defeated his neighbors twice, not because of how powerful they were at the time. When it comes to wars, sometimes it's really a matter of luck to win.

First of all, Kublai Khan's sending troops to neighboring countries was not a surprise attack. Before the arrival of the Yuan army, the neighboring countries had already received the news and were prepared.

Moreover, because of the weather, Yuan Kublai Khan's two expeditions to neighboring countries suffered from major hurricanes, which can be said to be a bit of a back. Finally, the army led by Kublai Khan did not have a great advantage in the equipment in its hands at that time. It is for these reasons that Kublai Khan was defeated in his two expeditions to the east.

Let's talk about this neighboring country, which is what is now Japan. At that time, before Kublai Khan came to power, Mongolia did not take this small country seriously. It wasn't until after Kublai Khan came to power that he began to notice how rich the country was.

Therefore, he sent people to Japan to ask for tribute from Japan. However, because the information was conveyed too slowly and in a timely manner at that time, there was a gap and contradiction between them. Therefore, after he sent several envoys to Japan, they were all refused to return.

Because Kublai Khan felt insulted, he decided to send troops to conquer the country.

But because he didn't know much about Japan and felt that Japan was only a small country, he sent very few troops. Who knows, Japan has long made corresponding preparations. In addition, what Kublai Khan didn't expect was that he actually caught up with a big hurricaneAs a result, the war was fought for nearly 20 days, and finally led to the death of the generals of the Yuan army, and the food and grass were exhausted, so the Yuan army had to retreat.

The second time he sent troops, Kublai Khan had a long memory, and the army he sent this time was very hugeHowever, this time Japan built a stone wall, and the equipment of Japan at that time was several times stronger than that of the Yuan army. As a result, it was still a fiasco.

At that time, Japan's metallurgical technology was indeed at the world's leading level, but this was not the only reason for the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty. During the reign of Kublai Khan, he sent troops to Japan twice, each time spending huge financial and material resources, but each time they returned in vain and even suffered heavy losses. Why was the mighty Yuan army unable to conquer the tiny island nation of Japan?

You must know that the Mongol soldiers are the gods of war who can sweep across Europe!

I think the first is that Kublai Khan really didn't understand the combat environment. At that time, when he wanted to fight Japan,The king of Goryeo once told him that the terrain of Japan was different from that of other places, especially the environment was different from that of the Central Plains, and that he should not attack rashly. However, Kublai Khan had made up his mind that he would not listen to the advice of the king of Goryeo, and even felt that the king of Goryeo was a sign of cowardice.

The fact of the last two defeats told Kublai Khan that the king of Goryeo was right. Because after the army sent by the Yuan Dynasty set off in a mighty way, it had already occupied some small islands around Japan, and when it was about to land on the Japanese island, it encountered typhoon weather, the ship was overturned, and the people were swept away, and finally returned in defeat.

Of course, in addition to the typhoon, the Japanese were also angry at the aggression of the Yuan Dynasty. Although they are few in number, they can unite and share the same hatred. In addition, the people on the island are very familiar with the environment and weather in which they live, so even after fighting with the Yuan army, they did not let the Yuan army take a big advantage.

At that time,Japan's metal smelting technology was already ahead of the world's level, and the armor they created was so strong that the Yuan army's weapons required a lot of effort to kill them. In this way, the Japanese were ready to fight to the death, but they didn't expect the Yuan army to be picked up by the typhoon.

No matter which dynasty or generation of wars occur, they all tell us a truth, that is, if you are backward, you will be beaten.

It's not because the neighboring country has any advanced technology, it's because the neighboring country uses its troops properly, and when Kublai Khan attacked, they ran to the island, and Kublai Khan's army did not adapt to the environment there, and there were countless casualties, and then the neighboring country began to attack.

Of course not, because the neighbor that Kublai Khan wanted to conquer was Japan hanging alone, and Kublai Khan's troops were lost to the typhoon at sea, and both attacks on Japan were defeated by the typhoon.

The two defeats were not all caused by the best technology.

The neighboring country here refers to Japan, the first time it sent troops, due to bad weather, the Yuan army could not attack for a long time, so it had to give up. The second time the troops were sent, Japan built more fortifications after the first engagement, coupled with the hurricane weather that the Yuan army was not used to, resulting in heavy losses and defeat.

Because everybody has a lot of power and a lot of territory, no one is subservient to anyone, and there is no strong ruler.

The original Mongol Empire was just an empire formed by a group of tribes uniting together, and it was not really integrated.

I think it's because the bigger the country, the harder it is to manage, especially for nomads like the Mongols.

Attached to the four Great Khanates, only his own brother obeyed him, and the others were superficially obedient.

Kublai Khan successively reused Lu Shi's financial management, but all failed. At this time, Kublai Khan was keen on conquest and always wanted to subjugate the new country by force. Therefore, he pointed the finger at Japan, Champang, Annam, Burma and Java, and sent troops on expeditions one after another.

This series of wars of aggression not only caused destruction to neighboring countries and brought disasters and sufferings to the people of neighboring countries, but also brought great disasters to their own people. In 1294, two years after Kublai Khan's army sent an expedition to Java to no avail, Kublai Khan fell ill and died in Dadu.

Kublai Khan was the leader of the Mongols, and under his command, the Mongols conquered the south step by step from the north, took the city of Luoyang, and then occupied the entire Central Plains.

Kublai and Kublai's war of aggression not only caused destruction to the neighboring countries and brought disasters and suffering to the people of the neighboring countries, but also caused great disasters to the people of his own country. In 1294, two years after Kublai Khan's army sent an expedition to Java to no avail, Kublai Khan fell ill and died in Changxian Dadu.
