There are many emperors in Chinese history, but Genghis Khan seems to have always been a special existence.
Until now Mongolia regards him as a national hero, a symbol of Mongolia.
In ancient times, when the productive forces were not developed, the people on the plains were still affected by various natural disasters and pests and diseases, and various famines occurred.
People on the grasslands, whose livestock is predominantly livestock, are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters.
As soon as the blizzard froze to death, herders went south to burn and loot, so the whole grassland was fierce, and the tribes often launched wars to annex. On the prairie, women are appendages of men,
It's a regular occurrence to treat stolen women as their own women.
Genghis Khan's concubines were basically the wives and daughters of the enemy, but why was he never afraid of being assassinated?
Eagles of the steppe
Genghis Khan has always been very controversial, some people say that he was a brutal aggressor who rode all over Eurasia with Mongolian iron, while others believe that he was the pioneer of forge ahead, and it was the wars he launched that promoted exchanges in Eurasia and changed modern history.
No matter what kind of Genghis Khan, his exploits are beyond reproach.
It unified the Mongol tribes, destroyed the Western Xia, and occupied a large area of the Jin Dynasty. It has always been eyeing the Southern Song Dynasty.
The war he launched was almost invincible, successfully expanding the Mongol sphere of influence. Waging these wars is not only to unify the tribes and expand their sphere of influence,
More for other tribes' grain, cattle and sheep and beauties.
As we all know, the marriage customs on the grassland are completely different from those of the Han people on the plains. The woman on the steppe was one of the possessions of the tribe, and if the woman's husband died, she could choose to marry her husband's brother or brother.
Every time Genghis Khan won a battle, he would snatch his wives and concubines and daughters from his political enemies and enrich his harem.
Except for his own wife and child post, the other women are basically
It was taken in this way.
In fact, such a situation is very common in history, and the favorite concubine of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was paid tribute to the Qianlong Emperor after the defeat of the Huibu War in Xinjiang. The Lee dynasty of Korea also often paid tribute to the Emperor of the Central Plains.
It is said that in the heyday of Genghis Khan's harem there were more than 500 beauties, and there were as many as 8 empresses alone. He often showed his abilities in this way,
Genghis Khan also spoiled the daughter of his political enemy.
None of these women came here voluntarily, they were all snatched as booty. Even most of them have a bloody vendetta against their fathers and husbands.
But Genghis Khan never worried that he would be killed by a concubine in his sleep.
This is because they all have a strange disease.
This disease is not a physical disease, but more of a psychological disease, academically known as Stockholm syndrome, the specific symptoms show that the injured party will take the initiative to help the abuser in the process of being coerced. This disease tells us,
Man can be domesticated.
The shadow of Stockholm syndrome can also be seen in Genghis Khan's concubines, such as his queen Yasui, her father and brother all died at the hands of Genghis Khan, and even Genghis Khan executed her fiancé directly in front of her in order to make her die.
He should have hated him, but he fell in love with this father-killer, and even after the death of the then Empress, he ruled the harem for Genghis Khan and helped Genghis Khan take care of other women who had been plundered
Eventually became the de facto ruler of the harem.
As a successful ruler, Genghis Khan actually did not trust anyone in his heart, and no one knows the place of his burial until now.
In fact, he did not trust the women around him very much.
Genghis Khan once said: "Women are unreliable", although he does not trust, but he has the army and power, he can always issue death threats to disobedient and disobedient women, and these women who are forced into the harem are helpless.
You can only obey Him.
Over time, these concubines gave their right to life to Genghis Khan, and at this time Genghis Khan's little tenderness or favor was a gift to him and them. It is the life-saving straw that they can survive, and there has always been a MuQiang mentality on the grassland.
This made these concubines stunned by Genghis Khan's powerful aura and fell to his feet.
Forget the blood sea of deep vengeance and become Genghis Khan's loyal follower.
Stockholm syndrome population with masochism
People who talk about Stockholm syndrome tend to brutally attribute it to masochistic tendencies. Masochistic tendencies refer to as
Feel pleasurable and autonomously actively pursue abusive behavior
Stockholm syndrome, on the other hand, is more about knowing that you are threatened but still psychologically unable to leave.
Some time ago, the explosive "Under the Sun", the female protagonist was suppressed by various abuses by the male protagonist, and finally forced the male protagonist to commit suicide. is a true anti-Stockholm Syndrome novel.
The reason why it exploded is also because of the routine of anti-ordinary domineering president Wen: abusing the female protagonist, the female protagonist falls in love with the male protagonist in a little tenderness of abusing the male protagonist. In fact, the female protagonist is unconsciously rationalizing her own persecution, and falling in love with the male protagonist in a little tenderness of the male protagonist's charity.
Such novels were also once sought after by girls.
In real life, there are also many such examples, in the sensational Luoyang sex slave case, the murderer Li kidnapped six women into his own cellar, forced them to obey in the form of violence and sexual abuse, and in order to make these kidnapped women obedient, he also killed two of the women who tried to escape.
Li Mou accurately grasped the hearts of these women:
Lives are seriously threatened, and in order to survive, the subconscious mind will rationalize these extreme things,
This is also why these women chose to run away when they were enslaved, and everyone obeyed and fought for Li Mou's jealousy.
There were even two people killed when there were other women involved to varying degrees. The most terrible thing is that after these women were rescued, no one accused Li, but on the contrary, they also protected And protected Li, which is the most terrible place of Stockholm Syndrome. The subconscious rationalizes all the harm you've been hurting, making you unaware that you've been abused
Until you get used to your current life.
summary
Ever since society changed from a matriarchal to a patrilineal society, the status of women has been declining. Until the requirement that women be completely attached to men,
Whether it's on the prairie or on the plains.
They have no choice but to be robbed as property. In this case, they can only choose to obey, rationalize their choices, and eventually fall in love with their husbands who have a blood feud.
Moreover, there was also the custom of robbing relatives on the grassland, and women were more likely to understand and obey such a life. According to research, genghis Khan's blood relatives are still 16 million people, and it can also be seen that he is strong.
