Somewhere between four and fourteen thousand.

it was difficult for the mongols to control their empire because after Genghis Khan died, all of his sons and grandsons took control which was crazy, and the empire split into individual little empires all over which obviously didnt work
After Genghis Khan's death in 1227, the Mongol Empire was divided among his sons and grandsons into several khanates, each ruled by different branches of his family. The empire continued to expand under leaders like Ogedei Khan and Kublai Khan, reaching its greatest territorial extent. However, internal conflicts, succession disputes, and cultural differences among the khanates eventually led to fragmentation. By the late 14th century, the empire had largely disintegrated into smaller states and was weakened by the rise of regional powers.
There were many rulers of the Mongol Empire during it's history. First was Genghis (or Chingis) Khan, who formed the empire, then his son Ogedai, who expanded it, followed by Ogedai's son Guyuk. When Guyuk died, Genghis's fourth son's son Mongke came to power, followed by his younger brother Kublai (or Kubla, as he is the one in the poem Kubla Khan). Following this there were many other leaders but they only ruled the empire in name and couldn't control it all.well for sure Genghis khan was one and his four sons

I believe it was due to feuds between Genghis Khan's sons or grandsons. What happened was, after Genghis Khan died, the empire was split into a few divisions, one for each of his sons. But his sons began fighting each other for more land.

when Genghis khan died... The Mongol Empire was divided into four sections by Genghis Khan. The Empire was to large to be maintained otherwise. To much conflict would have been caused by a single heir being named. In truth Genghis Khan's sons were not worth much and his daughters and wives did the real running of the Empire. The sons and daughters in law did not like this and after many years of fighting pretty much ruined the Empire Genghis Khan died ( Old, in his bed surrounded by family, how many rulers had that claim to fame in ancient history).
His four sons Jochi, Ögedei, Chagatai and Tolui

official Genghis Khan (Temüjin) had for (4) sons, from old to young: Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedai and Tolui. probably he had daughters, but that time it was the custom ,after marriage, the girl became family of her husbands family. Done with the family-name link.

Pax Mongolica is the name given to the period of (relative) stability and, if you will, law and order, during the reign of Genghis Khan and his sons and grandsons over the area from Eastern Europe to the Pacific Ocean. The largest land empire ever known, it is estimated that at its hieght, one out of every three human beings was a Mongol subject.
