Da General
The century-long conflict between the Mongol nation and the Song Dynasty began in 1189AD, when the rogue governor of Yinchuan province seceded from the Song Empire and came under the protection of the Mongols.
Before the Song government could react, a large Mongol force was spotted outside of the city of Xian, as part of the Mongols' plan to bring all of western China within their influence. It was only the quick deployment of troops in the hills outside the city that spared Xian from certain Mongol occupation.
Undeterred, the Mongol General Genghis Khan diverted his forces towards the Song capital of Beijing. The Song army, which could evidently run faster than horses, managed to intercept Genghis's army hundreds of miles outside of the city. Although both sides suffered heavy losses, the battle ended in a decisive Chinese victory and marked a significant turning point in the war.
After the Song military had been replenished in Beijing, the emperor himself ordered Chinese troops to burn the Mongol city to the north to the ground because the emperor couldn't pronounce its name. The Song forces closed in on the city quickly and promptly destroyed Chojbalsan in 1234AD.
On their way back from their successful campaign, the Song army was ambushed by a Mongol squadron of Keshiks who had been preparing to launch a second attack on Beijing. Unbeknownst to the Mongols, however, a powerful new general had been appointed by Song chancellors to head up the Chinese troops. Calling himself Shixinwang Licha after being dropped on the head as a small child, the general believed that he was, in fact, the King of England. Accordingly, the Song military chancellors informed Licha that the Mongols were Jewish. Filled with anti-Zionist fervor, Licha led his forces to a decisive victory, ending the final Mongol assault in the war.
As Licha's forces closed in on the city of Yinchuan, a Mongol assassin was dispatched into Beijing. Kicking down the door and storming into Emperor Huaizong's quarters, he threatened to kill the emperor if a peace was not brokered before Yincuhan fell to the Song. Legend has it that after refusing to end the war, and just moments away from being stabbed to death by his would-be-murderer, the Emperor punched the intruder in the mouth, killing him instantly.
Historical re-enactment of the peace negotiations between Emperor Huaizong and his assailant.
As no peace had been secured, Licha's army made it to Yinchuan without any trouble. After shelling the city for months (and accidentally killing off most of the ethnic Chinese population), Yinchuan fell, and the Song flag flew above the city once more.
To celebrate the re-taking of the city of Yinchuan, the Shwedagon Pagoda was finally completed in Beijing. Historical documents suggest that it was completed with great ease due to the magical adhesive properties of the gold imported from Mandelei.
Additionally, it was around this time that the Song dynasty's population exceeded ten million, making it by far the largest empire in the world.
However, even with China's staggering population, the Song military had been severely weakened by the frequent warfare. Over the hundred years of constant fighting, thousands of Chinese soldiers had died, although historians estimate that the Mongol death toll may have been far higher. As both the Mongolian and Chinese war engines began to run out of steam, a peace was finally brokered as the now 170-year-old Genghis Khan deeded the useless city of Kelamayi over to the Song in exchange for peace. After nearly 120 years of war, the conflict between the Chinese and the Mongols had finally come to an end.
For now...

The Song Dynasty emerged from the Mongol invasions intact, but with its military crippled considerably. Despite this, barely 60 years after the conflict ended, the militaristic Song government was being urged by Confucian scholars to send troops back into Mongolia in order to prevent the marriage of a Zongli peasant by the name of Zhu Yuanzhang to a hot Buddhist chick from Mongolia.
However, unbeknownst to the Song Emperor and his scholars, Yuanzhang had been working on a top secret method of draining pulp to make a thin, opaque film. As a result of this discovery, and as a result of the weakness of the Song military, Yuanzhang was able to single-handedly storm into the Emperor's chambers and smother him to death as he slept. Yuanzhang then proclaimed himself Hongwu, first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Confucian scholars and hardened veterans alike cowered in fear as Hongwu brandished his terrifying new weapon, which he called "paper".
In order to help rebuild the military, the Ming government took a proactive approach and began primitive genetic experiments on Chinese laborers, with horrific results. Records indicate that the Ming government ordered the secrets of genetic engineering be buried, never to see the light of day again. It would be centuries before any other civilization discovered the wonders of genetics for themselves.
Tragically, after nearly a century of peace, relations with Mongolia broke down when the now-elderly emperor was found to be having an affair with a noblewoman from the Ming court. His Mongolian wife became enraged and fled home to her own country, convincing the nearly-300-year-old retired general Genghis Khan to declare war on China once more. In order to differentiate this minor "beef" between spouses from the large war that consisted of Mongolia's initial invasion and the cession of Karamay to China, historians have referred to this particular war as "The Mongolian Beef".
However, Hongwu's son Zhu Di had significantly better luck with the ladies, and married a hot Japanese chick, becoming half of what was at the time Asia's hottest power couple. After the death of his father, Zhu Di proclaimed himself the Yongle Emperor and attempted to ease relations with the Ashikaga Shogunate and possibly even bring Japan into war against Mongolia.
Another potential ally that Yongle hoped to win over was the massive Islamic Nordic Empire to the west, which was rumored to stretch from the arctic in the north to the great city of Miklagard in the south.
On his deathbed after suffering a series of strokes, the Yongle Emperor finally got his wish of a Japanese declaration of war on the Mongols, which came in 1424, just months before his death. He was 22 years old.
His body was entombed in a second palace built in Tibet by orders of his wife. Called the Potala, it would later become a seat of government for the governors of Tibet Province.
Although the Yongle Emperor had died, his enuch Zheng He continued to go on trade missions to the western world with his massive treasure fleet. Most notably, Zheng He contacted the enormous French Empire numerous times up until his death in 1433.
In order to attempt to broker a peace with Mongolia, the succeeding emperor sent a large army to destroy the border city of Ning-hsia. Unfortunately, the city was so small and insignificant that no one noticed, and the war continued.
It wasn't until Genghis Khan's third failed assault on Beijing in his lifetime that he realized the Mongols would never take the city, and finally sued for Peace with China in 1453. The Mongolian beef was squashed.
