[Shocking!Mongolian Female General Manduhai: The Legend of the Conquest of the Grassland]
Today, I'm going to tell you an incredible story about the history of Mongolia -- the legendary journey of Manduhai! Don't think that history is a dull textbook, this is a legend of a heroine on the steppe who went to the rivers and lakes alone!
The Mongols were driven out of the Central Plains because of Zhu Yuanzhang and returned to their steppes. This is not a simple return, but an atavistic metamorphosis. In this process, there is a woman who has come to the fore, and she is Manduhai. She not only subverted the traditional concept of the Mongols, but also left her own footprints on the stage of history that cannot be ignored.
Han culture once took root among the Mongols, but over time, they gradually abandoned the "Great Yuan" state name and no longer called themselves "emperors", but chose the more down-to-earth "khan". In the process, the Mandu Sea is like a fresh breeze, reinjecting traditional culture into the blood of the Mongols, allowing them to regain their identity.
The traditional system of "step-marriage" was once shelved under the impact of Han culture, but with the emergence of Manduhai, this tradition was revitalized again. She dared to break the routine and married Batu Mengke, who was only four years old, and achieved a steppe version of the political marriage legend.
