In the feudal era, it was very difficult for a woman to make a name for herself, but there were indeed many excellent women in history.
There is a female hero named Manduhai :
What kind of experiences and legendary stories do she have?
Heroes in Troubled Times
As we all know, the saying "Women are not as good as men" is not groundless. As we all know, since Western Han , many women have created legendary history, such as The female hero of the Song Dynasty Liang Hongyu Anti-Jin, Tang Dynasty The Empress of the First Generation Wu Zetian , and even the story of Mulan joining the army for his father.
Therefore, it is no surprise that the heroine to be discussed below is full of glorious spirit.
mentioned Mandu Sea, and is still admired by the people. also has her figures in some areas.
To talk about the most well-known history, was when she married a seven-year-old husband at the age of 33.
In that history, the situation was chaotic, and Mandu Hai's first husband, , is the twelfth descendant of the famous Genghis Khan - Mandu Gule Khan.
For the related interests involved, he chose to intermarry with the Wanggu tribe, so Mandu Hai became the side room of Mandu Gule Khan.
Don’t think that their marriage is just a marriage of interest is not happy at all. That’s a big mistake. Mandu Gule Khan herself admires Mandu Sea very much and has heard of her.
The nomadic peoples like Mongolia are not more gentle and virtuous than the Central Plains. They are brave and good at fighting, and are born with different pursuits for brave and resourceful people.
As a member of the Wang Gubu family, Manduhai has not been trained according to ordinary standards since she was a child. In addition, she herself is very interested in these swordsmanship, so when she was not yet adult, she resounded throughout the grassland because of her superb skills.
Manduhai married Mandu Gule Khan, and lived a happy life without being bullied by her husband. Everyone respected her very much. The two daughters she had also married one of the few talents in the tribe when she grew up.
Since she is so happy, Why did she marry , who is only 7 years old, and she?
It turns out that this period of happiness seemed to be envied by God, because the Mongolian nation at that time was in an era of separatist divisions and annexation of various tribes. War was common. It was in such an environment that Mandu Gule Khan unfortunately died while leading his tribes to fight.
Now, as a capable, optimistic and respected woman, Manduhai has to take on the responsibility of taking care of children, the entire tribe, the Golden Family and the Wanggu Tribe.
However, Manduhai has no son, which is a serious problem in feudal society. Even the open nomadic peoples need a man as their heir.
Since there is no next heir, many ambitious people are like hungry wolves, staring at the "throne" that can bring you a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
After all, everyone's desire for power is unlimited, especially the leaders of some tribes, who began to plan after getting the news.
You should know that there is an unwritten rule in Mongolia, that is, after the death of the previous manager, the next heir can inherit everything from the previous one, that is, whether it is money, wealth, rights and status, or the women around you, they can have it.
In this way, more people are eyeing this position. There are many people who want to compete for Mandu Sea.
But since many candidates who compete for this position do not have the blood of Genghis Khan, the situation has changed and become Manduhai has the right to choose. In general, as long as is whoever she marrys, who will be the next Khan.
unexpected choice
Among the candidates, King Uneborot had the best conditions. Not only did he come from the grassland Korqin , he held heavy troops, but he also helped the tribe where Manduhai was located.
Maybe you will think that Manduhai will be worried and depressed, or surrender to a leader who pursues her.
But her actions made everyone confused. She kept silly among the suitors, temporarily exchanging strategies for peace without the cost of force.
She has made careful choices from beginning to end. She knows that in the uneasy Mongolia, inside and outside, there are full of dangers. If you are not careful, it may bring the consequences of "one step is wrong, every step is wrong".
Immediately afterwards, Manduhai found a child after secretly inquiring and searching from multiple sources. The appearance of this child played an important role in the changes in the entire situation.
Just because this little stinky little kid named Batu Mengke is Bayan Mengke's orphan .
I want to say that Manduhai is still very courageous. This age difference is the age of the mother and the age of the son. Not to mention that when the woman got married and had children early, she should be considered "grandfather-grandchildren"!
But Manduhai didn't care. In her heart, her marriage had long been integrated with the interests of the Mongolian clan, and the love between children was not worth mentioning in the face of family and national affairs.
Indeed, once this news was announced, it caused a great sensation. But no one can say anything, and they can't point fingers, just because this object is a legitimate heir, and no one can do anything about him.
fights on the battlefield
Life is actually not easy after marrying 7-year-old Batu Mengke . Batu Mengke has been in exile and knows nothing or understands nothing, let alone even if he has been named "Dayan Khan", what can he expect a 7-year-old child to do?
Manduhai not only wants to calm down the situation that is more unstable due to the death of Mandu Gule Khan, but also wants to pull this "little husband" to grow up.
in daily life taught him the principles of being a human being and being a king everywhere. Soon, Batu Mengke grew up quickly under the guidance of Manduhai and set the ambition to unify the tribes of Mongolia.
But he was still too young, so this great and arduous task had to be handed over to Mandu Hai first. Mandu Hai was not worried about Xiaobatu Mengke, so he invented an arrow basket and brought it with him.
First of all, they took Virat as their first target of battle. Virat was a long-term rival. The two sides fought hard, but in the end, Mandu Hai narrowly won.
Not long after, Manduhai also led the army to defeat Gaslan, Batu Mengke's enemy who killed his father. Since then, the military strength of their clan has been greatly improved, gradually calming down the turbulent situation of years of war.
After the death of Manduhai , Dayan Khan indeed led Mongolia to a long-lost peace.
According to relevant records, Mandu Hai suddenly disappeared from historical materials after fighting with Yi Sima. There are many different opinions about the reasons. Some people think that Mandu Hai died unexpectedly in in this battle, and some people say that she died because she had a difficult child at an age. After all, she gave birth to three pairs of twins in a row.
No matter what her ending is, it has to be said that Manduhai has a huge role in Mongolian unification, and even Mongolian history books praise her as a wise woman.
