Genghis Khan, as a famous hero in history, once almost unified Eurasia with his Mongolian iron horse. His legendary life has also attracted many scholars to study him, and a Persian historian said that Genghis Khan had more than 500 concubines, and most of them were enemy wives and daughters. But he never feared being assassinated, because he used a trick that was fierce enough.
Genghis Khan was not worried about assassination
Genghis Khan's expansion invaded many tribes and countries, and in the process, it was natural to plunder their wives and daughters. The Mongols were not bound by the rules of etiquette, so they did not pay attention to the etiquette, and these robbed concubines watched their husbands and fathers die in front of their own eyes but could not do anything. Because Genghis Khan was invincible and unscrupulous, the number of his harem concubines continued to grow, reaching more than 500 people.
Not all of these concubines were willing to stay with Genghis Khan, and many of them were still saddled with blood debts. Logically, in the face of a group of women who hate him, Genghis Khan should have some scruples instead of leaving them around, and maybe one day he will have to worry about his life. Earlier, when he communicated with a Central Asian scholar, he also directly said that women are unreliable. Despite this, Genghis Khan was still not defensive, but full of self-confidence. In fact, there are many reasons why concubines do not kill Genghis Khan, and the main reason is that Genghis Khan used a vicious method.
It should be known that although these concubines bear the hatred of the country and the family, it is difficult to complete the assassination task by their own strength, whether they succeed or fail, once the matter is revealed, it will affect their own people. Genghis Khan was not a fool, and since he dared to do such a risky thing, he was naturally fully prepared. After these concubines were threatened like this, they naturally did not dare to think otherwise. If Genghis Khan is really dead, but there will be more chaos and war, coupled with the atmosphere at that time has always been the strong for respect, the strong robbed of women This incident is very common, Genghis Khan as a generation of legends, but also let these concubines feel awe and admiration, over time hatred will also be diluted with time, many concubines will even fall in love with him.
The concubine suffered from Stockholm Syndrome
Some people think that these concubines fell in love with Genghis Khan because they suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, a condition that is not uncommon in our modern society. This was the case in a previous case in China in which a man kidnapped six women and imprisoned them in a cellar for a long time. Over time, these women even developed feelings for the man and fought for it. After the police rescued the hostages, the hostages did not blame the man but protected them.
According to the analysis of psychologists, when the victim is in a high-pressure and death threat environment for a long time, in order to find sustenance, he will entrust his life to the murderer, and his emotions will change with the actions of the murderer, sometimes because of the killer's rare sip of water and a word. The victim's perception of the killer also changed, from the original fear to awe and even love. When the victim is completely domesticated by the murderer, there will be a situation of trying to protect the murderer.
The concubine's performance actually fits this symptom, and it is understood that the empress of Genghis Khan also followed, and all her family members were killed by Genghis Khan, but she not only did not show hatred but was very obedient. During her reign in the harem, she never made a rebellious act, serving Genghis Khan wholeheartedly, completely abandoning the hatred of the country and the family, and showing full loyalty. This coincides with the manifestation of symptoms.
Speculation about the reasons for the non-resistance of these concubines was controversial for a while, but it is undeniable that genghis Khan was very successful in history in terms of personal achievements. War can bring pain to countless people, and these concubines are victims of war, whether they endure humiliation and burdens or really fall in love with Genghis Khan. However, the historical record of their lives is only a hasty brush, and some have been submerged in the long river of history without leaving any names.
