The discussion will mainly be concentrated on the kind of life that any Mongol nomad might have lived in north of Great Wall in the year 1196. The nomads used to live an unstable life. Such Mongols used to move about here and there in various regions around the north of the Great Wall. Because of an unstable life, they were often subjected to extreme temperatures i.e. cold, droughts and a host of other difficulties (Lane, 2018).
Many historical evidences suggested that the Mongol nomads had been subjected to severe droughts around twice. Livestock were even not maintained safely. People used to live on wild life hunting. Frequent scenarios of diseases among herds were quite common. In most of the situations, the nomads were subjected to war times with China. During such time, herds of cattle had to rely solely upon the proportion of trade being varied out with China. In other words, the Mongolian nomads would have to depend to a maximum extent on the animal and the trade outcome of it (Olson & Fuller 2017).
The life of Mongols can be deciphered from a number of historical facts and assumptions. There are a number of ambiguities laying in the history of Mongols living during the period of 1196. Individuals from Mongolian entities reemerged towards the end of 1195 with their military tactics towards Chinese Jin Army forces. The Mongols and Genghis had built a strong military base towards the end of the century. The period of 1195-1206 saw a period of unification. There was no initiative taken to transport food, water and other necessities of survival at this time, mostly because the Mongols were not static/ settled at one place for long. Life was quite tough (Ramos, 2017).
The year 1196 is notable for Mongols because Mongol troops in alignment in Jin troops led for a punitive expedition on the very same year. The main opponent was that of the Tatars. Under such a situation, life was under unrest.
