"Blue sky, clear lake..." Tengger's paradise sings our modern yearning for the Mongolian steppe.
But thousands of years ago, ancient Mongolia was definitely a nation that could make the rich people of Europe shudder.
Beginning in 1206, the Mongols ruled the Mongolian plateau for 428 years, the north of China for 134 years, and the whole of China for 89 years.
In ancient Mongolia, the desire of men was very strong
In the 13th century, the Mongol tribes led by Temujin gradually became stronger, and in order to unify the steppe, everyone elected the Great Khan of Mongolia, Genghis Khan.
There are many legends in Genghis Khan's body, one of which is that his harem has more than 500 concubines, but there are more than 40 people who are actually registered.
Wars of all sizes occur almost every day in the steppes, and in wars, the only woman who can create the resources of population regeneration is particularly important, so most of Genghis Khan's concubines are stolen.
Therefore, folklore says that when Genghis Khan robbed the princess of Western Xia and forced the other party to marry himself, the princess pretended to be obedient, and when she was in the cave that night, she broke the key part of Genghis Khan with a poisonous weapon, and Genghis Khan died.
It also reflects that, to a large extent, the women of the steppe are nothing more than victims of war, vents for men to satisfy their desires.
They went to war to satisfy their desire to conquer. Every time they conquered a tribe, they would play a game of wheels, and eventually the women would either become slaves or become the venting products of the men.
Alcoholism has become a culture
The ancient Mongol Hanzi, known for their fierceness, once victorious in the war, they began to slaughter the city in a frenzy, using the degree of burning and looting to measure their contribution to the tribe.
Then there is the venting of women's desires, feasting and drinking, often drunk for a few days and nights, drinking seems to be an innate culture.
At that time, Batu led the tribe's tough men all the way from the doorstep to Eastern Europe, and then to Western Europe, defeating the European coalition army and occupying the capital city with fewer victories.
It was also at this time that the death of the second Great Khan of Mongolia, Kuotai, the great hero of the former battlefield, did not die on the battlefield, but died in the process of drinking and seeking pleasure, and died violently.
Of course, the ancient Mongols' long-cherished wish to conquer their neighbors was no longer possible, so today's Vienna has preserved its own culture intact.
The plague of war
At that time, almost every day people would die because of the war, and the corpses were all over the mountains, rivers of blood, festering and decaying, which provided perfect conditions for the breeding of bacteria.
The Mongols fought all the way, pried open the gates of Europe, and they learned the cultures of the countries along the way, from the earliest horseback archery to facing the thick walls of European cities with artillery fire.
They used trebuchets to throw plagued soldiers into the city, causing the plague to sweep across Europe.
It can be said that the evolution of the war through the Mongol invasion of Europe also gave Europe the road of the Renaissance in the face of the destruction of its own civilization, not only stubbornly resisting the Mongol invasion, but also creating a new civilization.
Ancient Mongols rose from rise, prosperity to decline, and marched forward courageously, defeating their wars only for conquest and desire, not for justice.
Therefore, from a historical point of view, the war in Europe at that time was only because of their barbarism, there was no civilization at all, and its own culture would not last long.
This is also why the ancient Mongols slaughtered the city all the way, but there was no cultural inheritance, and there was no real sense of conquest of the people.
epilogue
Remember the saying that true civilization is powerful, otherwise it will only lead to decay.
Of course, we cannot deny that the ancient Mongols did conquer Europe all the way in history, and the prestige of the whole world at that time existed.
It was also this people on horseback that first allowed the countries of the world to see the East.
