The Huns had a habit that after the Khan's death, his son could inherit everything he had, including the Khan's woman, his little mother. This system of succession was very popular among the Xiongnu, but in the eyes of the Central Plains Dynasty, it was contrary to the way of Confucius and Mencius and was immoral.
After Wang Zhaojun first married the Xiongnu, she first married the Khan, then married the Khan's son, and finally married the Khan's grandson, which made her really unacceptable and eventually died of depression.
Not only the Huns had this custom, but so did the Mongols. Born in 1448 (the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty), Manduhai was a Mongolian woman who practiced archery on a bow and horse freely, and her martial arts were very powerful.
Later, Manduhai married the Mongol Khan Mandulu, and she became empress smoothly. However, the good times did not last long, Mandulu died, and the two did not have sons, so the khan's seat was vacant and became the object of everyone's contention. According to Mongolian custom, whoever becomes a khan can inherit everything from the khan, in other words, he can marry Manduhai.
At that time, the Mandu Sea could be described as a flower of the grassland, with a graceful style and a thousand manners, and many people proposed to her, but they were rejected. At that time, there was a king of Unaborort in Mongolia, who was heroic and handsome, with heavy soldiers, and he was also a courthur of manduhai, and everyone thought that he could become a khan, marry Manduhai, and go to the peak of life.
However, Manduhai was a person who did not play by the rules, and she did not choose the king of Unemborot, but chose a seven-year-old boy, who was the orphan Batumunk left by Polo.
At that time, Mandu hai was thirty-two years old, while Batumunk was only seven years old, and the age difference between the two was twenty-five years.
But in the face of true love, age is no longer important! True love can span time, space, and age!
Manduhai was a strong woman who made Batumunk the Great Khan, known as Dayan Khan, and she helped Batumunk quell civil unrest and unify Mongolia. Whenever Mandu Sea went on a expedition, she would always take Batumunk with her and protect him with her life.
Manduhai and Batumunk had eight children, and when she gave birth to the last two twins, she died of difficult childbirth, and she was already an elderly mother at that time, and having a child was a dangerous thing, let alone twins.
Since then, Mongolia's heroine has passed away, and what she has left behind is an endless legend! Shortly after Manduhai's death, Batumunk unified Mongolia, but she never saw it again!
