I defeated the mongols by hiring 4 stacks of merc Elephants and engaging them in the battlefield,lost all my merc butkilled all there good generals and 70% of there good calvary,so after than,well you do the math.

for the mongols if u can bear undeveloping some regions u will leave fords which are much easier to defend than bridges. as the horde toils up the slope out of the river they tend to bunch tightly together. with a mass of archers- in my case it was Mamluk horse archers- the crossfire wiped out more than a third of th mongol army. then as they spread out and attempt to engage in melee u can fight aggressively having gained the upper hand.

I have a quick question: how do I kill (or get rid of) enemy spies in my cities?

I have a spy in one of my cities, it keeps spotting an enemy spy, but I don't know what to do about it to kill him. He's been there some time now.

Put a spy in that city. Or more if the enemy spy is very good. I had once 5 of my own spies in Dijon but one Milanese spy kept opening the gates and was causing unrest.

Sorry, didn't make it clear, but I knew that much haha! Well as it happens that seems like the only way to kill them/kick them out. If they are only kicked out of the city, you can see them un-stealthed for one turn after, and to kill them I believe you can use the old surrounding tactic on the campaign map (place a unit on every tile around the spy that it is adjacent to, to prevent any escape, and then move a unit onto the spy). Maybe that works?
