The Mongols were and still are excellent horsemen. With numerous horsemen who were also excellent archers with superior bows from water buffalo horn, they were able to shoot proficiently while galloping. Ghenghis Khan was able to conquer vast lands this way. His grandson, Kublai Khan, was advised by a conquered Chinese wiseman that Mongols could conquer by horseback, they couldn't govern by horseback. So Kublai Khan established a capital inside what is China today. For this reason, he is not well-liked by modern Mongolians because he moved out of the motherland.
