Among all the losers beaten by Mongols, who can register as one of historic top 100?

Ah, missed that. I apologize for my misunderstanding and the resulting misguided jabs at you.

I probably should have been clearer and less snarky about it.

I mean if anything it's pretty remarkable that the Koreans remained loyal to the dynasty over the occupation. I don't see many other societies that would put up with that for decades.

Other courts tried fleeing to islands too, by the by, after their country was overrun. The Kwarazmians, and Bela of Hungary of course. Didn't end well for the former, and the Mongols left withing a year in the latter case.
 
Because moving at least a million people into an mountainous island of 300 square kilometers in the 1200s is totally possible. That's the nonsensical part.
If you think that something doesn't make any sense - ask: "What exactly did you mean?".
Or explain why you think it doesn't make any sense.

"your nonsensical rambling"... - in real life using such words, you might accidentally get your nose broken in the middle of a dispute.

The thing is, during the Mongol occupation of the 'mainland' part of Korea, the Wang dynasty was nothing but a puppet of the hereditary dictatorship of the House of Choe. When the House of Choe crumbled, the royal house turned out to be the proponent of surrender, so the Mongols backed the dynasty.
