Just as the so-called world is strange, there are often some people or things in history, which makes people feel very incredible, and after careful study, some deep things will be found from it, such as Ismail, the person who has the most children in history, which is incredible enough.
Ismail was the second sultan of the Alawite dynasty (similar to the king, but the name was different), and his life was only a concubine with a name and a surname, and there were more than 500 concubines, and the number of children born was as high as more than 800, creating the record for the most children in the world, which is still maintained to this day.
Ismail with internal and external troubles
The Alawite dynasty was founded by Ismail's brother, whose brother was the first sultan of the Alawite dynasty, who reigned for a relatively short time, and later died in a horse accident, after the death of his brother, Ismail inherited the throne of his brother, but the Alawite dynasty in this period can be described as internal and external troubles.
Internally, Ismail and some of his brothers and nephews were eyeing the throne and trying to launch armed violence to seize the throne, which could lead to the fall of power if Ismail was a little careless; for external troubles, not to mention, the Alawite dynasty at that time not only had Spain in the fist, but also the Ottoman Empire intended to control Morocco.
In the face of such serious internal and external troubles, at first Ismail planned to continue to trust the Arabs like his brother or use the army within the Alawite dynasty to achieve the concentration of power, but when he went down to the grass-roots level, he found a serious problem, whether it was the Arabs or his own army within the Alawite dynasty, in fact, they were unreliable, they were not only ineffective in combat, they were not loyal enough.
After recognizing the reality, Ismail intended to build an army of his own, at that time there were a large number of black slaves in Morocco, these people were not only very strong in battle, but also loyal enough, and most importantly, they were more willing to contribute to Ismail's loyalty in order to avoid themselves from continuing to be slaves, so Ismail decided to use these blacks to build a strong army.
After having an idea, Ismail said he would do it, and built a black mercenary army, up to 150,000 people at its peak, that is, relying on this powerful mercenary army, Ismail not only swept away the civil unrest, but also took advantage of the situation to attack Spain and Britain, and won the victory, taking back all the territories that had fallen.
After a fierce attack by Ismail's black mercenaries, except for Ceuta, Melilla and other places that were still under the control of europeans, the rest of the European colonies on the Atlantic coast of Morocco were basically purged by Ismail, and it has to be said that Ismail was indeed a good hand in politics and military, and he was also a qualified sultan.
In fact, not only that, Ismail is also very discerning in the economy, in order to achieve rapid development of the Alawite dynasty, Ismail continues to promote the development of foreign trade, the sheepskin inside the Alawe, after processing, exported to other countries, but also from the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Spain and other places to introduce cotton yarn, cloth, silk, wool and other things, after Ismail's operation, Morocco's Sare and Tétouan have become the largest foreign trade ports in North Africa. Morocco's economic development has been greatly facilitated.
Ismail reigned for a total of 55 years, during which Morocco has developed rapidly and is very strong and stable, whether it is military, political, or economic development, Ismail has made extraordinary achievements, so that the people of the country can live in peace.
The other side of Ismail
Although Ismail is a good hand in the governance of the country, Ismail is definitely a flowery and relatively cold person in terms of feelings and marriage, he loves women all his life, and his body is strong, so Ismail completely ignores the restriction that the teachings can only marry 4 wives, and has married more than 500 concubines who have no name in their lives, but have the truth of husband and wife.
Among these concubines, it can be said that they are different ethnic and complexion, including different ethnic groups in different countries such as Arabs, Turks, Greeks, Persians, etc., whether they are white-skinned, yellow-skinned or black-skinned women, Ismail accepted them all and turned them into his own concubines.
During Ismail's 55-year reign, he was almost never idle, so in the end, with the rich resources of more than 500 concubines, Ismail gave birth to 525 sons and 343 daughters, a total of 868 children, becoming the most children in the history of the world.
Some people may be more curious, Ismail only has 500 concubines, compared to the three thousand beautiful ladies of the harem of the ancient emperors of our country, the resources are not so rich, and the children he gave birth to will certainly not be as many as the ancient emperors of our country. With such a question, let's take a look at the birth of some emperors in ancient China.
In ancient China, the number of concubines was relatively large, and the emperor with more affairs, Tang Xuanzong was definitely one, but although Li Longji had a harem beauty known as tens of thousands of people, he only gave birth to 30 sons and 29 daughters in his lifetime, a total of 59 people.
According to statistics, among the ancient emperors of Our country, the one who gave birth to the most children was the Song Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty, who gave birth to a total of 32 sons, 34 daughters, and a total of 66 people in his lifetime, and the number of concubines with names and surnames in his harem was only 152, which was still a big difference compared to Ismail.
After such a comparison, we are more intuitive, even if it is the emperor Song Huizong, who has the most children in ancient China, only 66 children, compared to Ismail's 868 children, not even a fraction, it is really far from the same, it seems that Ismail's world record will continue to be maintained.
In fact, Ismail is not only affectionate, treating his wife and children, not friendly enough, if anyone makes a mistake or offends himself, he may be severely punished by Ismail, he will never be merciful, nor will he give privileges because he is his concubine or daughter, if according to the current standards, Ismail is also a complete scumbag.
epilogue
Originally, we may have thought that Tang Xuanzong gave birth to 59 children, Song Huizong gave birth to 66 children, which is already an astronomical number, but who ever thought that Ismail, who was far away in the Alawite Dynasty, actually gave birth to 868 children with the resources of 500 concubines, such a huge number, had to be admired!
