Today is October 7,1400 and I'm gonna tell you what I know about The Mongols taking china.Genghis Khan united the Mongols in 1206. He made his first invasion in China in 1215 when he captured Yanjing now Beijing then a relatively large city in northern China.The Mongols ruled China from 1215 to 1368. Their dynasty was called the Yuan dynasty. After the Mongols took control of much of Mongolia they set their sights on the Jin, a rich empire in northern China with 20 million people.
In 1214, the Mongols surrounded Zhongdu and used catapults to bombard the city's walls. then the Jin Emperor Xuanzong gave up and presented Genghis Khan with a tribute of gold, silver, other treasures.Fearing another Mongol offensive, the Jin emperor moved his capital from Zhonghu southward to Kaifeng in 1214.
