Speaking of why the Mongol Empire was able to dominate Asia and Europe in that era of rising power? The main reason is that the Mongol Empire did not have to consider the number of soldiers and logistics, taking the Tebetsu expedition to the flower thorn mold, the farthest distance to pursue Azerbaijan and Georgia, and finally over the Caucasus Mountains, into Europe. The cavalry force of thirty thousand people, which is not yet the main force of the Mongol army, is just a partial division, not to mention its terrible combat effectiveness, just to say that his mechanical power has reached tens of thousands of miles, which is difficult to imagine if it is placed in the Central Plains Dynasty at the same time, taking the Tang Dynasty, which is the best able to fight in the Central Plains Dynasty, subject to the limitations of grain and grass logistics, only hit the Pamir Plateau at the farthest, and it is still in the case of the establishment of a consolidated military fortress supply in the western region.
As a powerful military empire, Mongolia has its unique national attributes, that is, in addition to women, the elderly and children, as long as men are good at riding archery, because in the harsh steppe environment, not riding a horse to shoot arrows is equivalent to a wasted man. This created the Mongol horror of war mobilization ability, and there was no need to train soldiers like the Central Plains Dynasty, because every herdsman was an excellent warrior in wartime.
In the early stages of the conquest, the Mongol army did not talk about occupation and governance, and every time it attacked a city, slaughtering the city was a common thing. Kill the light directly, leaving only useful craftsmen and women. All of these stolen resources were used for the next expansion war. In this way, resources will not be spent on post-war reconstruction, and the war will be completely supported by war.
The theme of the Mongol Empire is still nomadic, long-term herding life, relying on water and grass to live, there is no fixed concept of hometown, which is not like the Army of the Central Plains Dynasty has a strong homesickness after fighting outside for a long time. The Mongol army hit Central Asia, hit Europe, where the water and grass are fertile, the cattle and sheep can't see the edge, and there are stolen exotic beauties, what is the hometown, the place I occupy is my hometown.
