According to the "Yuan Shi Taizu Benji", the kings and subjects were given the title of "Emperor Genghis".
In the spring of the second year of the Song Dynasty, the Mongol nobles held a general meeting at the source of the Chu Nan River, and the kings and courtiers honored Temujin with the honorific title of "Genghis Khan". Thus began the story of Genghis Khan.
According to the "Black Tartar Chronicle", "His lord, who first betrayed the emperor's trumpet, was nicknamed Emperor Chengjisi."
Genghis Khan officially ascended the throne as Emperor of the Great Mongol Empire, the beginning of the Mongol Empire. During his lifetime, Genghis Khan conquered many countries and became the monarch of countless countries. As a result, his experience has been passed down through the ages.
Those who know Genghis Khan may know that Genghis Khan had eight queens in his lifetime. According to statistics, there are more than 500 concubines, and these concubines come from a complicated path, some from their own tribes, some from the enemy's tribes.
This brings us to a stipulation of the Mongol steppe peoples: the two tribes fight each other, the victorious side can plunder the women of the other tribe, and Genghis Khan has won so many times that we can imagine how big his harem should be.
Genghis Khan is said to have had more than 40 concubines and multiple queens, and he assigned them to four places, each with an empress in charge. Among them, it is his wife, Bo Erti, who has the highest status.
So, Genghis Khan was mostly the wife and daughter of the enemy, so why was he never afraid of being assassinated? It can only be said that his tricks are too fierce!
Genghis Khan has a philosophical saying: The greatest joy of life is to overcome the enemy, to chase after the enemy, to take away all his possessions, to see his dearest people wash their faces with tears, ride on their horses, and take their wives and daughters.
Genghis Khan meant that the greatest joy in life is to defeat the enemy, to defeat the enemy, and to let them see their relatives, wash their faces with tears all day, plunder their things, and let their wives and daughters become their own concubines. Genghis Khan himself did just that.
The first woman Genghis Khan snatched was named Kulan, the daughter of Genghis Khan's greatest enemy, Da yi'er Wusun, who was an enemy of Genghis Khan all his life, but was eventually defeated by Genghis Khan.
Immediately afterwards, he donated his daughter to Genghis Khan and surrendered. Genghis Khan not only got the territory he wanted, but also seized the daughter of his enemies. Not only that, but Genghis Khan also regarded her as his favorite concubine.
Genghis Khan also snatched a pair of sister flowers, their father was Genghis Khan's father-killer, after Genghis Khan took revenge, he plundered the sister flowers and made them his concubines.
And they also killed all the people in their country. Not only that, but Genghis Khan directly executed his fiancé in front of them, which was really cruel.
In addition, Genghis Khan conquered Naiman and asked for his wife by name. This woman's name was Gu'er Besu, and she once hated that the Mongols had a smell, but after conquering Naiman, Genghis Khan went directly to Gu'er Besu and asked her: What, do we Mongols still smell bad? In the end, Genghis Khan took her back to his tribe and made her his own concubine. She also bore Genghis Khan a son.
For these women, they all have a deep or shallow hatred with Genghis Khan, but they have not heard the story of Genghis Khan being attacked by his wife for many years, so why didn't they attack the enemy Genghis Khan?
One theory is that because Genghis Khan is very powerful, and the Mongols are very strong, many women like Genghis Khan are very fond of men, so the previous hatred is no longer important.
There is also an important reason, the society at that time was very turbulent, really called precarious, everyone is worried about their lives, Genghis Khan is different, he is very powerful, almost invincible. As a result, he gave his wives a sense of stability and security so that they could no longer live in tribulations. And these people became the wives of Genghis Khan, so that they could be spared from the war and teach their husbands and children at home, which was also a good choice.
There is another way to say that the "Stockholm" mentality proposed by experts is pretentious. "Stockholm" means that the victim develops feelings for the perpetrator. Because Genghis Khan's power is too strong, they think they can't fight, and they can't resist. Therefore, it seems to them that it is good to survive, so they do not have the luxury of killing Genghis Khan to avenge.
Moreover, they themselves are hostage-like identities, and the purpose is to hope that Genghis Khan can look at their faces and spare their hometown relatives. Once they came into Genghis Khan's tribe, they had another identity, no longer a simple person, but representing the entire tribe. Therefore, as long as they have any problems, their tribe will also suffer disasters. To that end, all hatred must be endured.
I have to say that the last move is in the name of hostages, so that the enemy's wives and daughters dare not act rashly, and can only spend the rest of their lives in hatred, which is indeed too cruel!
What do you think about that?
