In this life, we must go to the Mongolian steppe to have a look, many people have such a plan in their life plans, after all, in the city, there is no endless grassland, groups of white sheep, fresh air with oxygen values exceeding the standard.
Want to see the Mongolian steppe, see the natural scenery of the steppe, want to go to the grassland to gallop horses, want to drink goat's milk wine with hospitable Mongolian friends, and want to dance in colorful Mongolian costumes.
What a beautiful picture, what a pleasing scene. But if you were in an ancient feudal society, if you were Han Chinese, then you would avoid them.
Because at that time, Mongolia and the Central Plains were drawing swords at each other all the time, not fighting over steamed bread, but also fighting for breath.
And this contradiction has been due to regional contradictions since ancient times, the Mongols have always been the masters of the steppe, the northern steppe is their base, the Mongolian people are fierce, although there are not as many people as the Han, but the strength is also equal.
Both sides regarded each other as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and they always wanted to occupy each other's territory for themselves, and the Mongols never gave up their ambition to unify the Central Plains.
The ideal must be there, in case it is realized, the person who has this idea is the Genghis Khan we know, who not only contributed to the later unification of the Central Plains, but also almost included the Western region in his own territory.
At first, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, the Mongol army was overwhelming, and the southern conquest of the northern war made the Territory of Mongolia larger and larger.
Now we see that the vastness of our Inner Mongolia region is due to genghis Khan's achievements.
And in this history, there is such a female version of "Genghis Khan", which has a great influence on the development of Mongolia, she is Manduhai.
Manduhai was forced to marry
She was born in Mongolia, grew up on the steppe, and grew up on the horse, and her personality is typical of the dashing and bold appearance of the children of the steppe.
Her life is also wonderful, she is 32 years old, married to her 7-year-old husband, and has eight children in a row.
When Manduhai was born, it was not a good time for the tribes between the Mongols to fight openly and secretly, and its old rival, the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang, did not want the Mongols to continue to jump.
Therefore, in order to strengthen their power, political marriage was indispensable for the Mongol tribes, and Manduhai was a girl, a descendant of Genghis Khan, and the heir of her family.
In order to make her more excellent, she got the best cultivation of the tribe, and the steppe boy should have it, and she was not bad at all.
Such a good woman could not decide her marriage at that time, not to mention that she was a descendant of Genghis Khan, and her husband must be the most powerful man in Mongolia, that is, the Great Khan of Mongolia at that time.
She seemed to accept such a fate, and after marrying the Great Khan of Mongolia, she did not cry twice and hang herself, and as a steppe woman, she should not be like this.
Therefore, she scrupulously fulfilled her duties, regarded the identity of her wife as a job, and seriously became the woman behind the Khan, and handled the internal affairs of the Khan in an orderly manner.
The days were happy, Manduhai gave birth to two daughters to the Great Khan, I thought that the days would go on like this, but soon after, the Great Khan was seriously ill, and he died, leaving Manduhai and his two daughters, and also left a problem, there was no son between them, according to mongolian regulations, Manduhai would marry the next Great Khan.
Mandu marries a 7-year-old child
After the death of the Great Khan, according to local customs, Manduhai can compete in martial arts to recruit relatives, or you can find a person with strong ability to marry, which man is the most beautiful boy in Mongolia, become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and rule over the various tribes of Mongolia.
Suddenly, Manduhai was the dream lover of all Mongolian marriageable men, and young men of various tribes tried their best to express their love to Manduhai.
At that time, there was a top seed player who was second only to the previous Great Khan, King Unaborot, and when everyone thought that Manduhai would choose him, Manduhai chose Batu Mengke, who had just turned 7.
Why? Quite simply, because of blood, the former does not have genghis Khan's direct blood, the latter has, and Manduhai's mission is to continue Genghis Khan's bloodline.
However, now it seems that it is impossible for close relatives to marry, but in ancient times, the bloodline was greater than the sky, and there was no way to do it.
Manduhai chose Batu Monk, and another reason was that Batu Monk was an orphan who could wholeheartedly assist in the Great Khan cultivation program.
At this time, the young Khan was 7 years old, and the wife of the Great Khan, that is, Manduhai was 32 years old, and this age difference not only stunned modern people, but also stunned the people of the tribe at that time.
Many people expressed their opposition, but Manduhai had already made up his mind, and the crowd had no way, after which Manduhai began to cultivate the young Khan as an elder.
When the time was ripe, the two men began to draw up a long-term plan for the unification of Mongolia, and later because some tribes began to stir up trouble, and because the Great Khan was still young, the two accompanied each other, which also facilitated the needs of manduhai to fight outside the country all year round.
As the saying goes, men and women are matched, and the work is not tired.
The Mandu Sea began to unify Mongolia
The first target, knocking out the head bird, is the Weyrat tribe, which has been plucking hair from the mouth of the lion for many years, showing off its might, and has always challenged the patience of the Mongolian headquarters.
The second target is the Begaslan tribe, which and the now young Khan have a blood feud, that is, the murderers of the Great Khan's parents.
On this road of conquest, Manduhai became more and more courageous in the Vietnamese war, never escaped from the battle, and at the same time inspired the soldiers he led, which is one of the reasons why Manduhai was able to win one victory after another.
Soon came to the end of the unification war, facing the last enemy, Yi Sima Intaishi, and at this time, the 7-year-old child had grown up, grown up in the war, and could command the army alone to fight alone, and the final war was ended by him, and Mongolia was unified with the joint efforts of the two.
Although Manduhai is the nominal wife of the Great Khan, over the years, the southern conquest and the northern war, the two have not been married.
Witnessed by all the Mongols, Manduhai married Batu Mengke and once again became the noble queen of the Mongol tribes.
After marrying Batu Monk, he gave birth to eight children for Batu Monk in succession, and Mandu Hai was really a strange woman, whether it was fighting a war or having children, she was amazing.
However, it was precisely because Manduhai gave birth to eight children, the body consumption was too large, the immunity declined, and finally fell ill and died.
brief summary
Manduhai's life, living for the grassland, living for Genghis Khan, and she herself used her life to create an image of a female version of Genghis Khan and achieved herself.
