(Louis VIII)
The second year of Yuan Guang, 1223 AD.
In this year, Louis VIII became the king of France, the Western Xia god Li Dewang Zen was located in the crown prince Li Zunyan, Baibar I was born, in the future, he will become the most powerful ruler of the Mamluk Dynasty, the Japanese monk Xi Xuan crossed the sea and arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, after which this foreign monk will devote himself to the practice of Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty for many years before returning to Japan.
This year, there are things happening all over the world, and the occurrence of these things is like fragments floating in the long river of history, which completely outlines the turbulent era of that year.
It was also in this year that the eighth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Xuanzong, died.
The emperor's life was extremely complicated.
He was once ordered to put the dying Jin Dynasty back on track at the time of the country's decline, and he once achieved nothing when foreign enemies invaded, and only blindly compromised and sought peace.
(Finish Yan Xun)
Many years ago, the Jin Dynasty stood on the northern grasslands, which was a existence that swept across the world and overwhelmed the wilderness, but now, its rivers are falling day by day, the wind and rain are fluttering, and it has reached the point of extinction.
The Mongol army marched south and invaded a large area of the Jin Dynasty, and the emperor abandoned the Jin capital Beijing and fled all the way to the southern capital of Kaifeng.
In Kaifeng, the emperor made a mistake step by step, fought with the Western Xia, and went to war with the Southern Song Dynasty, cutting off his foreign aid alive and completely burying the hope of the dynasty.
In December, the heavens and the earth were cold, and all things were slaughtered, and the emperor completed his life of internal and external difficulties in hunger and cold, at the age of 61.
There are emperors in each country and mountain, and now, it is time for the protagonist of our article, Emperor Aizong, to complete Yan Shouxu's appearance.
Emperor Xuanzong had many sons, but the one most promising to inherit the throne was none other than his third son.
The eldest son finished Yan Shouzhong, led the army to resist the enemy, and died in battle.
The second son, Yan Pandu, was bent on learning and had no intention of competing for the throne.
The two brothers did not have the opportunity to take the throne, so the heavy responsibility of being the emperor fell on yan Shouxu's body.
(Finish yan shouxu)
People sit in their homes, the throne comes up to heaven, and being emperors seems to be a great good thing for anyone.
However, the complete Yan Shouxu who had just ascended the throne watched His Highness fall to his knees in unison, and the ministers who had called out to the mountains were not happy at all.
banzai?
Who can live ten thousand years?
Can I live ten thousand years, or can the Golden Dynasty live ten thousand years?
The emperor was not only unhappy, but also saddened.
The former emperor abandoned the capital of Beijing and retreated to the southern capital of Kaifeng, which was tantamount to defeat without a battle, and gave a large area of land in the north to the Mongols.
The Mongol cavalry was powerful, it was difficult to resist, and it was said that if they retreated, they would retreat, so why did the former emperor have to provoke the Western Xia and the Southern Song Dynasty and let himself suffer from the enemy?
There are four people on the stage of history, and now all three of them have become their own enemies, but you have closed your eyes and stomped on your legs, and you have driven the crane to the west, but how do you clean up the mess left for me?
Calling the heavens should not be, calling the earth not working, the emperor can not count on anyone, the emperor can only rely on himself.
We know that the rise and fall of a dynasty has a lot to do with the emperor who was in power at the time.
The founding emperors were often pioneering and enterprising figures, and most of the kings in the middle of the dynasty were the lords of Zhongxing, and in the late period of a dynasty, the last emperors were usually wine bags and rice bags.
The Tenth Emperor of the Golden King, Yan Shouxu was already the ninth, and it was reasonable to say that this master should be an out-and-out fainting lord.
But that's what makes history interesting.
History is not a law, and history has no laws to follow.
Although Comrade Guanyan Shouxu was the last emperor, he showed a very wise and divine strength.
(Western Xia)
First of all, the emperor contacted The Western Xia and said that we had been fighting for so many years, and there was no result in fighting around, so let's not fight, we should join hands to deal with our common enemy, Mongolia.
Xixia said, big brother, I suggest you look at the history books, you ascended the throne in 1223, we in Xixia perished in 1227, we are now unable to protect ourselves, where is the time to manage you?
Yes, in a way, the Western Xia Dynasty was more miserable than the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty was on the verge of extinction, the Western Xia was doomed to perish, and the collapse of the empire was only a matter of time.
After a lifetime of ash in western Xia, the emperor ran to the court of the Southern Song Dynasty to discuss cooperation.
The rhetoric is still that set of words, and the pleading is still the same set of pleading.
The emperor said, big brother, we have been fighting for so many years, no one has taken advantage of fighting, we can't fight anymore, we have to join hands to deal with the Mongols.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, at this time, two different voices appeared.
Some ministers believed that it was necessary to join forces with the Jin Dynasty, because the goal of the Mongols was never to destroy the Jin Dynasty or the Western Xia, and what Genghis Khan wanted to do was to unify the world, so sooner or later the Southern Song Dynasty would also become the target of the Mongols.
I would like to ask, if 1v1, did The Western Xia ever fight Mongolia? Did the Jin Dynasty ever fight Mongolia? Did the Southern Song Dynasty ever fight Mongolia again?
Of course not.
Since we can't fight it, if we don't engage in joint action, when will we stay?
From the current point of view, the ministers who supported the "United Gold Resistance against Mongolia" were undoubtedly far-sighted people in that era.
If there is a cry, there must be a counter-voice.
If there is support, there must be opposition.
Another part of the ministers believed that the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were mortal enemies and feuds, and that the humiliation of being oppressed by the Jin Dynasty for so many years could not be forgotten, and that the "shame of Jing Kang" of the Northern Song Dynasty in those years could not be forgotten. Not only should they not join forces, but they should unite with Mongolia and destroy the Jin Dynasty, thus making a disgrace to the snow.
(Southern Song Dynasty)
Years of hostility, war, and rivalries between the three countries have made it impossible for them to build trust in each other.
They are jealous of each other, suspicious of each other, and in the face of strong enemies, they will only choose to run their own things, but they will never guard the same front together.
Joining forces? It's as hard as ascending to heaven.
As an author, sometimes I can't help but be full of reverie about this history, if at the time of life and death, the three kingdoms of Song Jinxia joined forces to jointly conquer Mongolia, will there be a generation of heavenly proud Genghis Khan's world-famous myths?
At this point, Yan Shouxu finally understood that at this moment, there was no one to count on except himself.
The emperor said that since there was no one to help, then we had to save ourselves.
How to save yourself, fight.
In the face of the invasion of the Mongol army, the emperor understood that blindly seeking peace and forbearance like Xuanzong before was not the way to go, the capital of Beijing gave way, there was the southern capital Kaifeng, Kaifeng Nandu could not hold, and the upper capital Xingqing, but if even Xingqing City was lost, where could the Jin people flee?
The emperor approached the army and chose to leave his fate to two senior military generals.
The two generals were, The Completed Yan Chen Monk and the Completed Yan Heda.
The gold people understood that this time the danger was to kill the enemy.
Many years ago, Taizu finished Yan A bone and struck a horizontal knife, and the stone broke the sky and established the majestic and brilliant Golden Dynasty.
And now, the posterity is about to uphold the will of the ancestors and fight a battle for the sake of the mountains and rivers.
Trapped in the battle, there is no life and death!
Go ahead! Golden Army generals!
Go to the bloody spill field! Go defend your country!
These outstanding patriotic generals who emerged at the end of the Jin Dynasty did not live up to the emperor's expectations, and they fought bravely on the battlefield to resist the Mongol army, which greatly delayed the demise of the Jin Dynasty.
But everything seems to be doomed.
In 1227 AD, the Mongol army broke through the Western Xia capital Of Zhongxing (Yinchuan, Ningxia), and the large army pressed the border and pushed towards kaifeng, the southern capital of the Jin Dynasty.
Just at this time, the Mongol Great Khan Temujin fought for many years and died of illness in the journey.
(Temujin)
For a tyrant like Genghis Khan, dying in battle is undoubtedly the best destination of his life.
But Genghis Khan's death did not improve the Jin Dynasty.
The Mongol Iron Horse was a world-class lightly armed mobile unit at that time, basically invincible in the world.
The Southern Song Dynasty, under the sway of left and right, finally chose the military policy of "joint Mongolia and destroying gold".
The Jin Dynasty was attacked on its back, beaten by the Mongols in the morning, picked up by the Southern Song Dynasty at noon, and in the evening by the Song and Mongolian combined forces to make another mixed double.
The front line collapsed, the city was lost, and thousands of miles of splendid embroidery, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, all fell under the iron hooves of the Mongols.
The emperor fled from Kaifeng and fled all the way to Caizhou.
Caizhou, now Runan County, Henan Province, is located in the Huaibei Plain, which has a subtropical monsoon climate and has not been a place of contention since ancient times.
This will never be the dwelling place of the Son of Heaven, and it will never be a treasure land for the emperors.
However, the emperor's life is about to come to an end here.
Tianxing three years, 1234 AD.
Caizhou City was besieged for nearly three months.
Siege, this is a real siege.
The people inside want to come out, and the people outside want to go in.
(Battle of Caizhou)
Corpses are strewn all over the city, and there are many wars outside the city.
The country is no longer broken, and the grass and trees in the spring of the city are particularly deep.
In the same year, the Mongol and Song allies attacked the city of Caizhou, and the emperor was unable to resist and hanged himself, at the age of seven Chinese New Year's Eve.
The emperor died, but the Jin Dynasty did not really perish.
Before dying, the emperor did two things.
First, he passed the throne to his most trusted general, Guanyan Chenglin, hoping that he could break through the siege and extend the country and leave a glimmer of hope for the Jin Dynasty.
(Finish Yan Chenglin)
Second, he looked up at the sky and shouted, and said the following paragraph:
"I have been a golden purple for ten years, a prince for ten years, and a human lord for ten years, and I know that there is no greater evil than evil, and there is no hatred in death." The ancestors of those who hate have been passed down for a hundred years, until I am extinct, and the kings of the ancient absurdity and tyranny are the subjugated countries, and this is the only one who is Jie jie'er. - "History of Jin"
I spent my youth in the human world in a daze, and I was a prince for another ten years, and now I am an emperor for another ten years.
I am frugal, diligent, exerting great efforts to govern, cultivating the people's livelihood internally, and raising troops against Mongolia and the Song Dynasty, day and night, and now the Golden Dynasty has been passed down for a hundred years, but it must be cut off from my hands.
Historically, it was the faint lords who indulged in pleasure that caused a country to perish, but they did not expect that the Jin Dynasty would perish under an emperor like me.
If you have the heart to kill a thief, you can't go back to heaven.
Yes, this is the emperor's last words, and it is also a portrayal of the emperor's life.
The emperor's temple name, "Lamentations," means sorrow, bitterness.
But I think that the emperor's life is worth affirming.
Under the sad pain of the subjugation of the country and the extinction of the species, it was the emperor who wrote his life of anger and intestines with his unyielding behavior for more than thirty years.
Thousands of generations, all over the world, although I am dead, I am still the Golden Emperor!
Now, the city of Caizhou is broken, and the country will not be a country.
The last moments of the Jin Dynasty have come.
