Genghis Khan is an inevitably mentioned hero in the long river of ancient history. His family created and destroyed the most countries and occupied the largest territory. It also maximizes Genghis Khan’s achievements. In history, Genghis Khan had many wives. Most of these people were captured by the country. Why did Genghis Khan have so many wives and daughters who could be regarded as enemies and were not afraid of being assassinated?
Actually, it cannot be said that Genghis Khan was not assassinated. Among the various legends of Genghis Khan’s death, there is a saying that Princess Xixia was killed.
Xixia princess named Li Weiming, is the daughter of Xixia king Li Security (later named emperor). When Genghis Khan launched the third conquest of Xixia (five times before and after), the incumbent Li Anan surrendered and rebelled against Jin Guo, attached to Mongolia, and took his daughter, known as the first beauty of Xixia. Li Wei's name was given to Genghis Khan. But later, before and after the Western Expedition, Genghis Khan launched two more conquests against Xixia.
During the fifth conquest of Xixia (that is, the last war that destroyed Xixia), Xixia Princess Li Weiming complained that Genghis Khan did not keep his promise, murdered Genghis Khan, and committed suicide by jumping into the Yellow River. (As for how Li Weiming murdered Genghis Khan, there are three theories in history: one is to bite off the genitals, the other is to poison, and the third is to assassinate. But there is no conclusion.)
Regardless of Genghis Khan’s death , Is it related to Princess Xixia, but this matter is not groundless, at least it can explain that Genghis Khan was attacked by his robbed enemy's wife and daughter. However, in general, Genghis Khan has more than 40 wives and concubines in his lifetime (most of these wives and concubines were snatched from enemy countries), but the threat he received is actually not that big. What is the reason for this?
first,Robbing the enemy’s wives and daughters as wives is a tradition in Mongolian steppe . The wives and daughters of the enemy country who were snatched back by Genghis Khan agreed with this approach. "Marriage grabbing" is actually a way of marriage custom on the Mongolian grasslands. Genghis Khan's mother was taken back by his father. Genghis Khan's wife 孛ertie was snatched again, and was snatched back by Genghis Khan 9 months later. This "method of grabbing marriage" is actually the same as the Han Chinese method of "parents' orders and matchmaking's words". Most of Genghis Khan’s wives obtained through robbery were on the Mongolian grasslands. They recognized this way and recognized this culture. Even if they are not from the grassland, they will quickly identify with this cultural background.
Secondly, Genghis Khan gave his wives and concubines very high treatment, so that they had little resentment deep in their hearts. Genghis Khan's material treatment and political treatment to his wives and concubines are very high. In terms of material treatment, Genghis Khan did not gather his wives and concubines together, but set up four Ordos, namely the four palaces, or the four harems. In these harems, the residences of the wives and concubines are very spacious and the material treatment is also very rich. In terms of political treatment, Genghis Khan’s harem is not like the Hans, nor is it like the Manchus. It has a strict hierarchy. They are all called queens.
It can be said that, except for the fact that the wife is a bit higher, the others are similar, so there is no competition. In addition, because Genghis Khan led the conquest, the sons of Genghis Khan did not actually need to fight for the throne like the Han princes. Because they don't need to fight, they can establish an independent country elsewhere. Mothers are expensive with children, and Genghis Khan’s wives and concubines are therefore given extremely high political treatment.
Third, the wives and daughters of the enemy country robbed by Genghis Khan have a hostage meaning. They cannot easily harm Genghis Khan and make political mistakes. In a sense, these princesses or wives and daughters of other countries who married Genghis Khan,There is a meaning of being a family. Their relationship with Genghis Khan determines Genghis Khan's attitude towards their motherland. At that time, the Mongols were ruthless characters that no one dared to provoke.
Therefore, these people dare not act rashly without a last resort. If their motherland has perished, these robbed wives of Genghis Khan will not be of much use in revenge on Genghis Khan, so they will not move either. Because of the above three reasons, although Genghis Khan has robbed many of the wives and daughters of enemy countries, he did not cause much danger to Genghis Khan.
