Early Xiongnu State Organization

310 BCE · Moğolistan · political

Before Modu Chanyu the Xiongnu were only partly organized under various chanyus.

The system of tümens (units of ten thousand troops) was still provisional; yet tribute was paid to the Donghu and contact was maintained with China. They turned the chaos of China's Warring States period into an opportunity.
