from The Mongol Invasions: Fear, Strategy, and Total Destruction — Fexingo History · host Fexingo
In 1293, Kublai Khan launched a massive naval expedition against the island of Java. Why would the Mongol Yuan dynasty, already stretched thin, send a fleet thousands of miles south? This episode dives into the complex political chess game between Kublai, the Singhasari king Kertanegara, and the rebel Jayakatwang. We follow the Mongol general Shi Bi, the Chinese commander Meng Qi, and the Javanese prince Vijaya as their ambitions collide. Listen to the story of the Mongol invasion of Java—a forgotten chapter that shaped the rise of the Majapahit Empire. #MongolInvasionOfJava #KublaiKhan #Singhasari #Kertanegara #Jayakatwang #Vijaya #Majapahit #ShiBi #MengQi #WarungJabu #YuanDynasty #NavalCampaign #Java #1293 #History #FexingoHistory #MongolEmpire #SoutheastAsia #MongolInvasions #GenghisKhan Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
