"Ah!"
In 1206, on the Mongolian steppe, a scream resounded outside Genghis Khan's golden tent, causing passing people to stop and watch - only to see a person who seemed to be drunk into mud thrown down the steps by three Hercules and smashed heavily on the ground!
Genghis Khan's younger brother, Hui Chijin, stood by, his face with a contemptuous smile and his eyes looking grimly at the corpse, which had not been injured at all.
A few days ago, this man had let himself kneel outside his tent under the pretext of immortality, and now he was a dead dog. He spat phlegm on the corpse, turned around and saw Genghis Khan coming out of the tent.
He bowed to the Great Khan, and the others present knelt down, paying no attention to the dead corpse and turning to long live the mountain. The Great Khan glanced at the corpse and snorted with disdain in his tone. "Put his body in the green room." Then he gave his will to the three Hercules. At this moment, the history of the divine right of kings on the Mongolian steppe came to an end.
From now on, he, Genghis Khan, and his family will be the sole masters of this steppe! His empire will be the first feudal dictatorship to stand on this steppe!
A few days later, the broken body of the broken spine—the Great Mongolian Shaman, the Angel Heavenly Sorcerer's Broad Expanse—completely disappeared in that green room, and the arrogant man who wanted to fight Genghis Khan ended up with a "corpse missing"...
At that time, however, because the steppe was windy, rainy, snowy, and sunny, the day of eternal life— known to the Mongols as Tengger — was still the most important belief in the hearts of the Mongols.
This natural and simple belief has been popular in the grasslands for thousands of years, and it cannot be changed overnight - similar to the ancient Han people's reliance on the sky to eat, in the long years when the fertilizer reform was not realized, mostly illiterate, and there was no weather forecast, the weather was smooth, and often everything could flourish, the land could be fertile, and the crops would have a good harvest. In the same way, cattle and sheep will also be fattened and multiplied.
And the heavens are always overhead, so the people think that the heavens are supreme, so there is eternal life.
There will be no shortage of people with ill intentions, as in the Mongolian steppes, before Genghis Khan, due to the extensive management of the tribe, these people took advantage of the situation and first set their sights on the god who had been initially established in the hearts of the people, the immortal heaven.
They became shamans, or, because there was no advanced medical technology at the time—many psychiatric patients could not be treated—they became puppets in their hands.
Because of their use, coupled with their special understanding of the land and the weather, some of their words were really fulfilled, so that the belief in eternal life was established in the hearts of the Mongols, and the veritable shamanism stood in the hearts of the Mongols.
Immediately, the greed of these people began to grow, and they began to act in front of the ruler, to make him mistaken for the true magic of his spells, and then they would believe their words, and they would be invited to a throne more noble than the chief, or to become the chief's adviser. When passed down in this way, their personal power and their family power swell dramatically, eventually overriding the chieftain.
This is the whole process of the divine right of kings.
After defeating many powerful enemies in the steppe, in 1206, there was only one sun left on the Mongolian steppe - Genghis Khan and the Great Mongol State were born!
The Khan of The Genghis Emperor Genghis was also the "oracle please come down", and his father Monrique was Genghis Khan's father who was also the nakor Su Wei, and the last person to leave their home after Genghis Khan's father was poisoned by the Tatars when he was young, Genghis Khan never forgot this kindness.
Therefore, after the establishment of the country, Genghis Khan gave Monrik a lofty honor - he was the first thousand households of the Mongol Empire. But Tongtian Wukuo misestimated the situation, believing that Genghis Khan's name and Khan's name were all set by him, and his father was the chief qianhu, so he began to do a great job, and even mutilated Genghis Khan's brother!
Genghis Khan also wanted to abolish the rule of divine right of kings and complete his own centralization, so at a pre-imperial meeting, he instructed his younger brother Hui Chijin to fight with tongtian wukuo and pull tongtian wu out of the tent, and then everything described above happened.
Since then, people have been more in awe of the name Temujin than it, so much so that the name Temujin is now banned in Mongolia to show respect and be proud of the descendants of Genghis Khan. It ceased to be the exclusive property of shamans and became a political tool of imperial rule. However, during the long years of Mongol rule in history, it can still be seen in some areas. For example, in the Horqin region, a variant of the Mongolian shaman, Laiqing, appeared.
The laws of the Genghis Khan period also retained many customs and customs that incorporated the belief in immortality, which still exist in the minds of the Mongols today – such as the Ao Bao in the Mongolian region that sacrificed the heavens and the earth.
Until the conversion of the khanates to Islam and the era of the last glorious khanate established by the Shuchi family, the Kazakh Khanate, in the fierce battle between the Kazakh Khanate and Uzbekistan, the predecessor of the Kazakh Khanate and Uzbekistan, which also belonged to the same sect, the Khan of the Khanate, Abu Hair, died on the battlefield. In praying to him, in the words of Islamic scholars, it has the same status as God.
This history is recorded in the invincible sword written by modern Kazakh writers, which shows that until now, Kazakhs who are descendants of Mongolian descent have not forgotten the eternal life. By the 16th century, however, things had changed dramatically.
In 1570, in the ten good blessing sutras formulated by the Tumut chief Aletan Khan, the Khan forcibly banned many Mongolian shamans in order to vigorously promote Buddhism, resulting in fierce contradictions and contests between shamans and lama beliefs.
By the 17th century, the situation was even worse,
In order to jointly deal with the Russian and Kazakh threats, the Khalkha Mongols and the Westward Migration to Xinjiang, the Weyrat Mongols, under the mediation of the Heshuo Chieftain Gushi Khan, shook hands and made peace, and they jointly wrote a code called the Verat Khalkha Code, in which for the first time it was clear that eternal life was an illegal belief. Since then, the number of Mongolian shamans has plummeted.
Time goes by, and today, the belief in immortality in the Mongolian steppe is like the ancient Greek building that remains now, although the ruins are broken, but people can still glimpse its former style...
