<h1>Genghis Khan marched west to destroy Hua Lazimo, and sent Zhebe and Subutai to lead 30,000 elite horsemen to pursue The Khwarazm Sultan Mahmud and Crown Prince Zalandin. </h1>
Genghis Khan ordered: "Order you to chase after the Flower Thorn Dog King until you catch up with them... If you do not capture him, do not come back...Those who submit may be rewarded and given protective instruments; those who show unyielding and rebellious emotions shall be eliminated! End the war in three years and return to our native Mongolia through the Chincha steppe..."
After taking the order, Tebetsu and Subutai led the Mongol Iron Horse from the east bank of the Caspian Sea to the west bank and did not find Mahama, but conquered many cities around the Caspian Sea along the way. Just as Temujin decreed, those who surrender were given preferential treatment, and all those who resisted were killed.
In the spring of 1222, they encountered an unfamiliar army, which they learned later was a Georgian army. The Mongols were born berserkers, and Tebetsu annihilated thirty thousand Georgians with guerrilla tactics in five thousand vanguards. After the war, mahmud's death was learned from the captured Georgian population. It turned out that His Majesty the Sultan, who had been galloping, had died of illness more than a year ago on a small island in the Caspian Sea.
Upon hearing of Mahabharata's death, Tebetsu and Subutai prepared to return to their army, but Genghis Khan sent orders to go all the way north to attack the Chincha people who had taken in their enemies, the Contemptible Beggars. (Big Lion Note: Chincha is a Turkic name, that is, the Russian Polovuzzi people, and the Hungarian Byzantines called the Cumans.
At that time, the Chincha people were in the heyday of the sun, and a large grassland in Eurasia was occupied by them, called the "Chincha grassland". European merchants who wanted to travel overland to the East had to pass through chincha territory. As a result, they consider themselves law enforcers between East and West, charging tolls and protection fees along the way.
This order of Genghis Khan opened the way for the Mongol army to march north into Russia and became a historic order that shook the East and the West.
Under their command, the Mongol Iron Horse marched all the way, defeating the Chincha who tried to resist them in succession and destroying the city of Astrakhan on the lower Volga.
After that, Tebetsu and Subutai divided their forces into two routes, one way across the Caucasus Mountains into the Don River Valley, the other way to the Crimean Peninsula, and then the two sides met in the Dnieper River Valley.
The Chincha people realized the horrors of the Mongols, and they knew that they could not resist these Tatars from the east under any circumstances. I had to call for help from the Grand Duke of Kiev in Russia, which at that time consisted of several grand duchies with a wide and powerful sphere of influence.
The Grand Duke of Kiev saw the serious threat of the Mongols, but he did not pay attention to the Mongols, and after the deliberations of the Grand Dukes, they unanimously decided to join forces to rescue the Chincha and kill the invading Mongols.
In May 1223, on the banks of the Kalga River on the lower reaches of the Dnieper River, a coalition of more than 80,000 Russian troops (one says 30,000) and more than 20,000 Chincha joined forces with 30,000 (one says 20,000) Mongol troops.
Grand Duke Münti Slav of the Rurik Dynasty served as a striker, but he was too confident to look down on the oil-stained Mongols. He saw that a small number of Mongol forward troops could not hold back, and he was determined to lead his troops across the river to take the initiative to launch an attack.
The forward Mongol army was defeated backwards, luring the vanguard of Mstislav away from the army and chasing the Mongol army for 9 days until the plain of the Calgarga River... Tetsubetsu and Subutai were waiting for him. The Mongol army's cavalry was rapidly mobile, and the offensive formation varied a lot. The Russian army is tactically single-minded and slightly bulky. The two sides fought fiercely for a day, with Mstislav fleeing in a daze, while the rest of the men and horses were all annihilated by the Mongols.
Terrible things that Mstislav could not have imagined in any way soon appeared before his eyes, and when he fled to the Nieber River in an attempt to escape by boat, he saw a terrible scene, and the water was full of corpses, all of which were Russian corpses. Those who did not have time to escape were all beheaded by the Mongols and thrown into the water. The corpses blocked the river, and no one knew how many people were there. When did the Mongols do these terrible things? Where did they go again? Mstislav was frightened and stupid (big lion note: not an adjective, it was really scared into a neuropathy). Eventually, he died in fear.
The remaining Kiev army struggled for 3 days and was betrayed by the allied Romanian prince Brodnitsa. Brodnica, who had taken control of the camp and handed over all the Kievs to the Mongols, expressed his eternal allegiance to the Mongol Khan, pardoned him and his troops, and let them follow him into the camp to massacre the Kievs as a sign that they were sincerely obedient to the Mongols.
In the Battle of the Calgarh River, 6 Russian grand dukes and more than 60 nobles were killed on the spot, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded. It is a pity that there are no recorded figures for contemporary battles. The Russians estimated that 50,000 people died, while the Mongols lost only a few thousand.
In this way, the Mongols seemed to be aimlessly conquest, conquest, or conquest, until the 3-year return date had arrived, and Tetsubetsu led the whole army back to the east. On the way back to the army, the Mongol divine archery general Tetsubetsu (大 lion note: Tetsubetsu's original name was: only Erhuo Ago) fell ill and died.
The eastward return army caught up with Genghis Khan's returning army from the south in Kobdo, Mongolia, and at this point, the first western expedition ended. The first western expedition led by Genghis Khan himself was a major event in the history of Eurasia after the Westward Migration of the Huns, opening a new round of national integration in Eurasia.
In July 1227, Genghis Khan died of illness during the siege of the capital of Western Xia, and his third son Wokoutai succeeded him to the throne of the Great Khan. Recalling that Genghis Khan, who was still Temujin, was poisoned by his father, a family of 7 people was ruthlessly taken away by the Taichiwu people, cattle, sheep and all herders, Temujin and several younger brothers started from the desolate and cold River, through indomitable struggle, exerted their natural superhuman courage and wisdom, and finally established a large empire across Europe and Asia. This is something that the men of my generation cannot match in any way, and the great will of Genghis Khan is still unmatched.
In 1234, Wokoutai was determined to inherit Genghis Khan's cause and continue to open up the Mongol Empire, sending troops for a second expedition to the west. The Mongol army marched west from the homeland of Khwarazm, once again defeating the re-emerging Chincha and conquering the Aral Sea valley and Persia.
In 1236, the Western Expeditionary Army was divided into two branches, with Batu, the son of Shuchi, and the general Subutai attacking Russia to the north; Möngke, son of Toray, and Guiyu, son of Wokoutai, continued to attack the Chincha people to the west. Möngke defeated the Chincha army completely north of the Caspian Sea, beheaded its general Bachiman, and occupied all the Chincha lands.
Battus defeated the Russian army and then drove north. In 1237, Batu captured the city of Ryazan and conquered Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia.
In February 1238, Vladimir was captured, the city's inhabitants were killed, the houses were burned down, and the Mongol army turned west. In 1239, kiev, the central city of the Russian Grand Duchy, was captured.
In 1240, the Mongol army of Battus again defeated the Russian allies, and then divided into two routes, one way west into Poland, the other way southwest to attack Hungary.
Just as the Mongol army was about to attack Western Europe, Wokoutai died of illness. So the Mongol army returned eastward to the Volga Valley.
With Sarai as its capital, Battus established the Khanate of Chincha (Golden Horde). Möngke, Guiyu, and Subutai continued to return eastward, back to the Mongolian steppe, and the second western expedition came to an end.
The Second Western Expedition not only dealt a severe blow to the Countries of Western Europe, but more importantly established Mongol rule on Russian soil. This rule lasted for 240 years, and the russians, who had expanded everywhere in modern times, were also creeping at the feet of the Mongols.
It was not until 1480 that the Khanate of Chincha soon split into several smaller khanates due to infighting, and Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow, ceased his tribute to the Khanate of Chincha, thus ending two and a half centuries of Mongol rule.
