The powerful Mongol Empire incorporated Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East into its rule through three expeditions to the west.
In the course of each of the Mongols' westward expeditions, they had different goals, and with their strength, the Mongols achieved each strategic goal.
The Second Expedition to the West, which began in 1235, lasted seven years.
This westward expedition made the area explored by the Mongols more extensive, and the Kipchak Khanate was strategically established, consolidating Mongol rule.
But the goal of the Mongols' westward expedition was not to expand their territory, but to women.
The Second Expedition allowed the Mongol army to penetrate deep into Eastern Europe, and for the first time came into contact with things outside of Asia, especially women.
The armies led by Batu and Subutai reached the western frontier of Zaras, bringing the entire region under Mongol rule.
And the beauties of the Zaras region naturally belong to the Mongols.
The Mongol soldiers, who saw European women for the first time, were already dazzled, which made the soldiers' wives and concubines become universal cards, from different countries in the world.
In 1229, Ogedei, who became the second Great Khan of Mongolia, began his reign, and during his reign, he continued Genghis Khan's practice and attacked everywhere.
It is precisely because of the years of war that the wealth accumulated by Mongolia was almost squandered during the Ögedai period.
In order to make up for the financial deficit and to continue the Mongol tradition of warfare, in 1235, Ogedei prepared to start a new round of attacks.
However, in terms of the direction and objectives of the attack, the Mongol tribes had their own plans.
There were two directions in the Mongol attack range, one was to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, and the other was to attack Europe in the west.
At the Kuritai Congress, both sides gave the right reasons, with the southbound side arguing that the Song dynasty was rich enough to make up for the Mongol deficit. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty was a reasonable target for the attack.
Similarly, the view of the Western Expedition is also very clear, because the vast plains of Europe are suitable for the Mongols to graze, and pastures have always been the pursuit of the Mongols.
Instead of making a choice, Ogedai had to grasp both and sent two armies to attack the Southern Song Dynasty and Europe respectively.
As a result, the financial problems of Mongolia fell on the Southern Song Dynasty, and the westward expeditionary army in the European direction became a full-time army for plundering property.
In 1235, the Mongol army began a campaign.
The troops of the Western Expedition, under the leadership of Batu and Subutai, drove out of the Mongolian steppe and continued westward along the road of the First Western Expedition.
This expedition to the west is a famous expedition of the sons of Mongolian history, although it is composed of the eldest sons of the Mongolian princes, but the leadership and the main generals of the warriors are not fast.
Under the command of Subutai, the Mongol army advanced very rapidly. In 1236, Briar was destroyed, and in 1237, Kipchak fell. By the autumn of that year, the Mongol army had reached Zaras.
At this time, Subutai's careful thinking was exposed, because, in the course of the first western expedition, Subutai had heard that my Luosi area was rich in beautiful women, and Ryazan City was one of the best.
Because, Ryazan City is one of the largest cities in my Roth region, and it is also a place where beautiful women gather, and as the lord of Ryazan City. Igrevich's wife is even more beautiful.
During the first expedition to the west, the Mongol soldiers had indirectly heard of the beauties of my Roth, describing them as white and plump, and their personalities were very cheerful.
This aroused the interest of Subutai and made the Mongol soldiers salivate.
The snatching of wives and daughters was very common in the eyes of the Mongol army.
Therefore, after the attack on the city of Ryazan, Subutai sent an envoy to persuade Igrevich to surrender.
The conditions of persuasion were very merciful in the eyes of the Mongols, as long as Igrevich handed over his wife and 500 beautiful women, he would be protected from the attack of the Mongol army.
But Igrevich firmly refused this request, saying that he would fight the Mongol army to the end. This is exactly what it means.
Because, only the massacre could satisfy the desires of the Mongol soldiers.
The order to attack was soon given, and the 4,000 defenders of Ryazan were crushed by the Mongol firearms and siege equipment, resulting in 60,000 civilians in the city being ravaged by the Mongols.
Six days is the last time for Ryazan to survive.
After the Mongol army entered the city, they captured the city lord's wife alive, but she would rather die than give in, and jumped to her death.
Subutai killed her son without getting the beauty, and then ordered the Mongol soldiers to slaughter the city, and all the men were killed on the spot, and all the women were reduced to the personal belongings of the soldiers.
For the first time, the Mongol soldiers saw what a real European woman could be, and this greatly satisfied the Mongols' desires.
makes his wives and concubines like an army of all nations, coming from many countries in the world.
The whole of Zaras was also under the iron fist of the Mongols, and it was not until 200 years later that Zaras gained independence.
