At the age of 33, the queen married her 7-year-old great-grandson and had 8 sons, who were admired by the people.
Empress Manduhai, a legendary woman of the Mongol Empire. After the death of her husband, in order to continue the family bloodline and revive the Mongol Empire, she resolutely decided to marry her great-grandson, who was only 7 years old.
After marriage, she gave birth to eight children with her husband, and in order to help her young husband stabilize his sweat position, she even put him in a quiver and accompanied him into battle. In the end, she successfully assisted her husband in unifying Mongolia and became a solid backing for a generation of Ming monarchs.
To this day, she is still admired by many people. So, what are the amazing and legendary experiences in the life of this queen?
In 1448, on the Mongolian steppe, a red sun rose, accompanied by the cry of a baby, and the Wangu tribe ushered in a newborn little princess. Timur, the prime minister of the Wangu tribe, looked at his daughter, and his heart was full of joy and anticipation, he had long looked forward to the birth of this child.
So, he chose a meaningful name for his daughter: Mandu Hai. In Mongolian,"Mandu Sea"Meaning:"Rise"In Chinese, it represents prosperity and foreshadows a bright future.
This is enough to show how much Timur doted on his daughter. However, in the patriarchal society of the northern nomads, most people believed that women were only appendages of men, and that only powerful men could have them.
However, Timur did not think so, and he regarded his daughter as a treasure and gave her endless love. This kind of pampering for her daughter affected the fate of Manduhai and made her a heroine of the Mongolian ** family, which was praised by many people.
Like most Mongol men, Timur was a skilled archer, and his home was full of bows and arrows and the skins of the animals he hunted. When she was a child, Manduhai liked to play on her fur, and Timur also made a set of clothes for her, which was very cute to wear.
She often played with her father's delicate bow and arrow, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
Manduhai was rigorously trained by his father Timur from an early age. He not only taught her horseback riding, but also archery skills. Although Manduhai didn't understand why her father wanted her to learn these things that Xi usually only boys played, she tried to learn Xi.
Timur tells her that the outside world is full of dangers and that he can't protect her forever, so she needs to learn to protect herself. Under the guidance of his father, Manduhai was not only proficient in mounted archery, but also learned Xi Mongolian history and culture.
She especially admired Genghis Khan and aspired to be a hero like him. At the same time, she also learned about the Yuan Dynasty founded by Kublai Khan. Although the current Yuan Dynasty no longer exists, and Genghis Khan's descendants have returned to live in the steppe, Manduhai's admiration for them has never changed.
In today's world, the major tribes believe that they may become the key force in the restoration of the Great Yuan, so they begin to fight each other, so that the grassland has been torn apart. Manduhai was furious at this, and she wondered why these tribes could not unite to defend themselves against foreign enemies.
Therefore, from this moment on, she was determined to unify Mongolia. Later, the teacher also told Manduhai about the history of the Wangu tribe, and she also learned that the Wangu tribe had been attached to Genghis Khan a long time ago, and at that time, Genghis Khan married his daughter to the head of the Wangu tribe, and the two tribes began to intermarry from generation to generation.
Until the era of Manduhai, she still adhered to the policy of marriage, and as the best woman in the Wang Gu Department, she will eventually marry into the ** family. So, what kind of man will Manduhai marry?
In the vast grasslands, Manduhai has met powerful tribal leaders many times, but has never found the other half of his heart. Until one day, when she was riding a horse on the grassland, she met the handsome Mandulu.
The eyes of the two met, and each other's hearts raced. Mandulu is a rising star in the ** family, but the family forces him to marry a woman he doesn't love. Manduhai was attracted by Mandulu's temperament, and Mandulu was also fascinated by Mandulu's charm, and the two fell in love at first sight.
When Manduhai learned that Mandulu was a descendant of the ** family, he was very excited, because the two tribes had intermarriage relations for generations. Even though she knew she was going to marry to do a side room, she was willing.
Mandulu came to the prime minister's house of Wang Gubu with a sincere dowry. Timur had no objection to this marriage, and his unique vision saw at a glance that Mandulu would become a great thing in the future.
In the days that followed, the wedding between the two tribes was lively, and Manduhai got his wish to marry Mandulu, and their married life was full of love. However, Manduhai was full of lofty ideals and ambitions, and she did not stop pursuing it because she got married, but silently supported Mandulu in managing the tribe behind her back.
At first, some people were skeptical of the new lady in the side room, and some even made mocking remarks and looked down on her. But Manduhai's strength is not a bluff, and the skills she has exercised since childhood are not fists and legs, and in the end, she succeeded in convincing them.
With the help of Manduhai, Mandulu's power was consolidated, and their common goal was to seize the throne of the Great Khan. After years of scuffle, Mandulu came to the fore, but he faced a new challenge, and according to the inheritance rules of the ** family, his nephew Bayan Munk was more qualified than him to inherit.
1.Bayan Munk knew that he was not as good as Mantulu, and he was humble and virtuous. Mantulu ascended the throne of Great Khan in 1475, and Bayan Munk was conferred the position of Deputy Khan. 2.Mandulu was out on a campaign, and Manduhai was doing his best to manage the family at home.
She gave birth to two daughters after marriage, and in just over ten years, she became Dahatun, which is equivalent to the queen's throne. 3.Both Mandulu and Manduhai are very concerned about the future of their families, as they have never had a male child.
They feared that after Mandulu's death, the inheritance of the family would lead to disputes. 4.Mandulu began to search for the Great Khan's successor, and the first choice was his nephew Bayan Munk, who had competed with him for the throne of the Great Khan.
5.Plans don't always keep up with change. Bayan Munk was killed for traitors, Mandulu was also killed on the battlefield, and the entire Mongol tribe fell into a leaderless state.
6.Manduhai almost fainted when she heard the news, but her strong sense of responsibility persevered and became the Dai Khan, temporarily managing the affairs of the steppe.
7.Despite this, there are still people who are dissatisfied with Manduhai, and they are impatient and restless. So, what will happen to Manduhai next?
After Mandulu's death, he left all his possessions and men to Manduhai, which made Manduhai teary-eyed. They failed to see the unification of Mongolia together, so he left her first.
They had no sons, not even their original heirs. In order to realize her husband's last wish and her own dreams, Manduhai withstood the pressure and sat in the position of the Great Khan.
Although many tribal leaders coveted this position, none of them dared to challenge Manduhai, because her courage was unmatched. Someone once tried to challenge Manduhai and was defeated, and since then, everyone has recognized Manduhai's strength and made her decide the next Mongol Great Khan.
Manduhai broke the traditional rule that she could only become a Great Khan if she first became her husband. As soon as this news came out, the threshold of the Mandu Hai family was broken.
She has her own goal, that is, to continue the bloodline of the ** family, so the new husband must be a member of the ** family, a condition that many people cannot meet.
Among this group of people, there is a person with very good conditions, he is the king of Uneborot of Korqin, he has a powerful army, has an important influence on the future unification, and is a very ideal candidate, but because he is not a descendant of the ** family, in the end he has no chance to marry Manduhai.
Manduhai felt very lost, because of the war, the ** family has become very few. Just when she felt hopeless, she suddenly thought of the child left behind by the deceased Bayan Munk, the great-grandson Batu Munk, whom she had never met several times.
He was a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, and although he was only seven years old, he had no better choice, so Manduhai sent people to find him. Eventually, Batumunk was found by an old peasant woman, and when he was found, the child was hunched and emaciated, and his bony legs seemed to be unable to support his body.
It turned out that Batu Munk's father, Bayan Munk, had died in the chaos, and he and his mother had been abducted and abused, but fortunately they were rescued and raised by well-wishers to survive.
Man Duhai looked at the seven-year-old boy, distressed and helpless. For the sake of the unification of the major tribes of Mongolia, she decided to marry this little boy. She asked him gently, "Batu Munk, are you willing to be a Great Khan?"
I will always accompany you and give you a hatun. Batu Munch didn't quite understand these concepts yet, and Manduhai patiently explained them to him. In this way, a special wedding was held in the Mongolian steppe, where a 33-year-old woman married a child who was only 7 years old, which caused many people to wonder.
However, they did not know that this decision was one of the most correct in the history of the Mongol tribes. Next, what Manduhai did was amazing, as if Genghis Khan was alive.
Her second husband also brought many surprises to the entire ** family. So, what remarkable things did Manduhai do?What has Batumunch achieved?
Dayan Khan, the new force of the steppe, at the wedding with Manduhai, they jointly announced his enthronement ceremony, and from then on, there was a new overlord in the steppe, he was called "Dayan Khan".
Manduhai, both Dayan Khan's wife and mother, did everything in her power to bear children for him, and also stood up for him on the battlefield to help him pacify the Mongol tribes.
Because Dayan Khan was still young, Manduhai became his "regent", and she hoped that when Dayan Khan grew up, he would be able to rule a peaceful steppe. So, she decided to eradicate the dissidents who had brought unrest to the grasslands.
Her first target was the Watts, a tribe that often harassed the steppes and caused discontent among the tribes. So, Manduhai took Dayan Khan, who was only 7 years old, to the Tile Spur Department in person, and in order to protect Dayan Khan, she hid him in her quiver and rushed to the Tile Spur Department with her personal guards, and finally succeeded in crushing them and winning this beautiful war.
Manduhai's next target is Yima Siyin, the sinner who once stirred up the relationship between Mandulu and Bayan Munk. Manduhai was merciless and dealt with him cleanly.
Then, when she faced those little minions, she did not start a war lightly, but sent emissaries to negotiate. Eventually, they all submitted to this valiant woman, and the Mongol tribes began to stabilize.
Manduhai also redefined the ** family. She said that from now on, only the descendants of Dayan Khan are the **family, and the previous **family has lost its meaning.
This move has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the continuation and prosperity of the ** family. Not only did Manduhai give birth to seven sons and a daughter for Dayan Khan, for a total of eight children, including three sets of twins.
As Dayan Khan grew up, he began to handle various matters independently, and luckily, Manduhai had taught him everything she knew, making it easy for him to cope.
In order to maintain the bloodline of the ** family, Dayan Khan also married two wives, but in his heart, Manduhai is an irreplaceable existence. As it turned out, Manduhai's choice was correct, and Dayan Khan eventually unified the ** Mongols and often invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty, becoming a hegemon on the steppe.
Conclusion: Manduhai is an outstanding heroine in the history of the Mongol Empire, and her various actions are to maintain the status and dignity of the ** family, and have made great contributions to future generations.
In the history of Mongolia, Manduhai is undoubtedly an outstanding representative of Mongolian women, her political and economic efforts are indelible, and her position in Mongolian history is also unshakable.
Today, the city of Hohhot has named a large park after her in honor of her, and there is also a statue of her in it, and people remember this charming woman in such a way that it is enough to see the status of Manduhai in the hearts of the Mongolian people.
