Well the Mongols were very lenient compared to many empires, so long as you followed the rules. There was no great taxes or oppression, people were free to follow whatever religion they pleased, for example. Also local governments were often allowed lots of autonomy.

However if you fucked with them, or disobeyed, they would destroy your city and people like the fist of an angry god.

Very much a carrot/stick approach. Where the stick is being raped to death while your family is on fire.

So most people chose the carrot.

^ Pretty much this entirely. It's also worth mentioning that the mongols managed their empires pretty well. If it profited, the Khan of the area they were are in charge of ALSO profited. A shitty empire section meant you weren't gilding your fingers in as many rings as your brothers, or their kids, or their grand kids. It meant you were getting the short end of the loot stick and really, who wants that. It's one of the main reasons the empire went down. The mongols got tamed, somewhat, by governance. Or made vicious in another manner (The intra-family fighting between Ghengis's children was epicly violent and unceasingly indiscriminate towards other blood-relatives where they could afford to be, and eventually until they COULDN'T afford to be)
