Preface
In the long history, there are countless embarrassing stories, and the fall of the Yuan Dynasty also brought a tragic ending. In that chaotic era, there was a queen, and her ending was so tragic that it became the gloomy curtain call of the Yuan Dynasty's rule.
The ill-fated queen, after ruling Mongolia for only three years, ushered in the saddest moment of her life. On the glorious historical picture of the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, which was hailed as the "great unification", she became the most helpless. The ending of stripping naked and being thrown into the river and drowned is undoubtedly the most poignant curtain call of her life.
In this story, we will retrace the time buried deep in the dust of history and uncover the tragic fate of the queen of the Yuan Dynasty. What kind of woman was she, and what mark did her reign leave on history?
Sea fan, a very ordinary Mongolian woman
Hai Mi was born in an ordinary nomadic family in the Mongolian steppe, and his parents were herders who lived a stressful life. In this patriarchal era, the status of women is low, and the fate of many women in their lives is to depend on men. But the fan is different from other women, she is a woman with a strong personality and ambition.
As a child, she was already a fan of the sea, showing her unique personality. She is not like other girls who obey her father and brother, but often argues with them. The heroine personality of the sea fan makes others look at her unpleasantly, and even predicts that she will cause a big disaster in the future. However, it is this unyielding momentum that drives sea fans to change their fate and fly higher into the sky.
Sea fans grew up in a poor environment, living in poverty, and had no food and clothing. But she is smart and quick to help her parents take care of their livestock. Despite the hardships of life, sea fans are still diligent and eager to learn, always looking for ways to acquire new knowledge and information. She understands that knowledge is power, and without knowledge you can't change your destiny.
It was love at first sight, and the sea fan married the Great Khan of Mongolia
One day, the goddess of fate winked at the sea fans. At that time, the Great Khan of Mongolia Guiyou passed by the tribe of sea fans and saw the beautiful and moving sea fans. It was love at first sight for the Great Khan, and he included the sea fan in his harem and became one of his favorite concubines.
For sea fans, marrying Guiyou Khan is undoubtedly an important turning point in their lives. She finally got rid of the conservative and backward original family and had a stage to display her ambitions. The sea fans secretly made up their minds in their hearts that they must break out of this palace to make a world.
At that time, the Great Khan was over fifty years old and a veteran of many wars. He has run Mongolia for many years, and he has made great achievements and has absolute authority. However, he also accumulated a lot of heart diseases and alcoholism, which seriously affected state affairs. In this environment, a smart and ambitious woman entering the harem is bound to have a great impact.
With wisdom and ambition, sea fans stand at the pinnacle of power
After becoming the concubine of the Great Khan, the sea fan did not put away his strong personality. Unlike other docile concubines, she often talked about state affairs with the Great Khan and expressed her opinions. Guiyou Khan also admired this concubine who was neither humble nor arrogant and had her own opinions.
However, it's not enough to just be pampered. Sea fans understand in their hearts that in order to gain a foothold in the court, they must seize real power. So, she secretly co-opted the powerful, bribed important officials, and accumulated her political power. In order to gain the favor of the powerful, the sea fan does not hesitate to spend a lot of money and wealth, she is shrewd and intelligent, and can always give all kinds of benefits to the powerful, so that the powerful love and fear her.
A sea fan who is well versed in the art of power, she first offered her courtesy to the Great Khan to gain his trust. Then he used his beauty and money to buy important ministers. Under the efforts of these ministers, the sea fans gradually occupied an important position in the harem, and her suggestions were increasingly valued by the Great Khan.
The opportunity was not long in coming. After the death of the Great Khan, the crown prince was too young to rule. Relying on the power he has accumulated over the years, Haifan manipulated the ministers and put his son on the throne, and he assisted the regent, becoming the ruler behind the scenes. The fans got their wish and stood at the pinnacle of power.
After three years in power, the sea fans were killed by traitors
Under the regency of the sea fans, Mongolia functioned smoothly for three years. These three years are the pinnacle of power and glory in the lives of sea fans. She used her power to purge dissidents and consolidate the throne, which can be described as a power tilt towards the government and the opposition. In order to consolidate her power, Hai Fan drastically reformed the government and government, with clear rewards and punishments, so that her subjects respected and feared her.
However, the good times were short-lived. In the third year of Haifan's reign, a sudden coup d'état disrupted everything. The mastermind behind this coup d'état is the political enemy of Hai Fan for many years. They secretly formed an alliance and staged a coup d'état when the sea was caught off guard, subduing her in one fell swoop. Before the fans could react, they were imprisoned and placed under house arrest. The new Great Khan soon ascended to the throne, and the lost fans were immediately met with frenzied retaliation.
Most of these political opponents have been attacked and purged by sea fans. Now that they have finally found an opportunity to fight back, how can they easily let it go? Not to mention that during their reign, the fans acted excessively aggressively, were harsh for officials, and also formed a lot of resentment. These people joined forces and quickly brought the situation under control, and the sea fans were powerless.
The new Great Khan ordered the fans to be stripped of all their clothes and thrown into the river to drown alive. In this way, the sea fan ended his short and brilliant life in extreme humiliation and pain. She thought that she could control the power forever, but she didn't know that people were not as good as heaven, and she still couldn't escape the tragic end. The power accumulated over the years has come to naught in a blink of an eye, and the attachment to power when the sea fan dies can be imagined.
The life of a sea fan is full of ups and downs. As a woman, she relied on her extraordinary wisdom and incomparably strong political skills to gain a foothold in the patriarchal society of Mongolia, and even ruled the country for three years.
However, the good times did not last long, she was still involved in a brutal political struggle, was victimized by a traitor, and died in an extremely miserable way. The stories of sea fans are thrilling and embarrassing, and they also show the hardships of women in that era who wanted to rise.
What is the reason for the ill-fated fate of sea fans?
As a woman, Haifan can't change her fate of being born as a daughter. In that era of feudal backwardness and the inferiority of men and women, the low status of women was the characteristic of this society, which was also an important reason for the ill-fated fate of sea fans.
Hai Fan was born in Mongolian society, a people who admired force and ignored culture. They are good at fighting and brave, but they do not have a high level of civilization. In such a society where "power is right", the political struggle is particularly cruel, and as a woman, it is difficult to escape the plot of political enemies.
Secondly, the fans have a flamboyant personality and a strong style, which is very different from other docile women. To a certain extent, this aroused the jealousy of others and set up quite a few political enemies for her. When she lost power, these political enemies retaliated frantically, killing her and destroying her family.
The personality of the sea fan is different, she is intelligent and ambitious, and she is unwilling to be a lonely foil for Da Khan. She wants to fight for power for herself and start her own business. Such extraordinary ambition and personality made her reverberate in Mongolia, a country known for its military force.
Many Mongol ministers were jealous of her talents. This became an important reason for the setbacks she suffered in her future political career. In the end, as a woman, sea fans can't escape the fate of being used after all. She used the power of the powerful to ascend to the throne, but she was also controlled by the powerful. When she loses her usefulness, these powerful people will also bite back, hastening her downfall.
The magnates who supported her to rise to power had ill intentions and regarded her as a pawn in the struggle for power. They are intriguing with each other and will do whatever it takes to get the most out of them. As a female ruler, sea fans are soft persimmons in their eyes after all, and they are easy to be bitten back.
epilogue
To sum up, the root of the fate of the sea fan is determined by the social environment at the time, as well as her own personality and identity. She is like a dazzling meteor, crossing the temporary brilliance in the long river of history, but she cannot escape the fate of perdition. We may never fully understand her ambitions and aspirations, but her legacy will be remembered for generations to come.
