Why the fuck would the mongols conquer a land where literally nothing is useful to them?
Also a lot of those areas were never conquered but still paid tribute

You should read up on Mongol rule of Siberia. Very funny story
>Mongols take the place after token light resistance.
>Mongols consider Siberians of the same race but they were weird because they lived in forests.
>1300s: Kubilai Khan sends a bunch of Chinese Colonists to build a road to Siberia and help civilize the place so they start farming.
>Chinese build the road alright, and a Mandarin was sent with an apparatus of government.
>Because the soil where they were was really unfit for farming, they end up doing limited agriculture and do nomadic pastoralism like their Siberian neighbors. Chinese population eventually absorbed into Siberian life with Chinese marrying Sibirs.
>Mongols are too idiot to know this and sent another batch of colonists again.
>No reports.
>They send a general over there to find out what the fuck is happening.
>That new batch also married Siberians and lived the Sibir life.
>Mongs give up and just run to there annually to ask for tribute.

To have a dick waving conquest about the size of their colonies. It was the cool thing to do back then.
