Mongol Logistics: How the Yam Postal System Enabled Conquest

Lucas and Luna dive into the Mongol Yam — the incredible postal and intelligence network that stretched from Korea to Hungary. Discover how relay stations, horses, and riders kept Genghis Khan's armies supplied and informed across thousands of miles. Learn about the Yam's origins, its scale (over 10,000 stations), its role in military strategy, and how it later impressed Marco Polo and influenced global communication. Specifics include: the use of paiza (metal passports), the relay system achieving 200 miles per day, the yamchi (station masters), and the integration of conquered peoples. A fresh angle that builds on prior episodes about Mongol warfare and administration. #MongolEmpire #YamSystem #GenghisKhan #MongolLogistics #PostalHistory #Paiza #MarcoPolo #Karakorum #ÖgedeiKhan #MedievalCommunication #History #FexingoHistory #CentralAsia #SteppeHistory #MongolConquest #IntelligenceNetwork #HorseRelay #WorldHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
