WI Ghengis Khan had not met with an early demise and gone on to consolidate and absorb all the Russian principalities as well as Poland/Lithuania?

Its popular to believe that the Tartar yoke could not extend past Russia but I wonder if a sustained ravaging of central Europe would allow them to consolidate their gains under his ongoing authority. (Even by the 1399 the Lithuanains were unable to defeat a weakened Golden Horde).

Could the Tuetonic Knights regain renewed vigour and resources from Europe to stave off the invasions? What would this have meant to the Ottoman Sultanate and the eastern emirates?
With armies required in the east, would Aragon expand onto Italian mainland, maybe into Sicily? (I also like to imagine the idea of the monguls making it to England!)

In fact could this new threat mobilized Christain Europe into a new crusade against a new heathen foe?

...Justa thought ;)
