…From NC:
A natural question arises: how was the Great = “Mongolian” (TARTARIAN?) Empire governed for no less than three hundred years, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries?
I like it.
After all, if it covered such large spaces, how did Rus-Horde manage to mobilize so many soldiers to colonize vast regions? Simply put, where did so many soldiers come from?
Mmmmn?
It is one thing to quickly conquer territories in the process of conquest. For this, due to the weak population of many regions of Eurasia and America, comparatively small, but well-armed and trained units were often enough.
OK.
But a completely different matter is then to maintain order for a long time, to control and educate the local population of entire continents.
True.
In addition, as it was possible to immediately transfer orders from the center of Rus-Horde to remote troops, the administration, bankers, governors?
Shrug!
After all, at that time there were no fast means of communication, such as a telegraph, radio, telephone. So, how did the khan king really rule the gigantic territories of Eurasia, Africa and America, “over which the sun never sets”?
Any takers?
