The Golden State may not know many people about this country, and in the history of the Golden State is not very famous, but it is this not very famous country that once dominated the Central Plains in the north for more than a hundred years and also left a major history of humiliation in the history of the Han people, the Golden State was the main power of China at that time, and the Golden State was also established side by side with the Southern Song Dynasty in the northwest of the Western Xia and the southwest Tubo, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia once claimed to the Jin State, most of the Chinese were in the Golden State, so at that time the Jurchen Great Golden State was the main chinese power.

The Jin Kingdom was founded by the Jurchen people living in the northeast region of China, the Jurchen people lived between the forests in the ice and snow mainly by hunting, farming, and grazing for a living, but the Jurchen people have been enslaved by the Khitan People's Daliao State since the founding of the Daliao in the north, and later the Jurchens rebelled against the rule of the Liao State under the leadership of the leader Ah Kuanta, and finally destroyed the Liao State and then the Great Song Dynasty, dominating the entire Central Plains for more than a hundred years and becoming an indispensable empire, but the Jin State could not escape the fate of the fall of the country in the end, no matter how powerful it was, it could not escape the fate of the fall of the country. What is the reason for the fall of this great golden country that once dominated the Central Plains?

First, internal instability and the difficulty of returning to people's hearts
Everyone should know that only one-tenth of the people under the rule of the Jin Dynasty were original Jurchen people, most of the others were the people of the former Song Dynasty and the Liao State, and even after the founding of the Country, many of the ministers in the Dynasty were Han and Khitans, and the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty and the Liao State were feuds, so at that time, the people of the Central Plains were only forced to submit to the military conquest of the Jin State, and when the Mongols went south at the end of the Jin Dynasty, many of them were ministers of the descendants of the former Khitan people who secretly secretly communicated with Mongolia, for example, there was a Jin general named Ming An. Another example is Genghis Khan's two gentlemen, Guo Baoyu and Yelü Chucai, both of whom were recommended for Genghis Khan after Ming'an defected to Genghis Khan, and the strategy of taking the Western Xia Alliance and the Song Dynasty to extinguish gold was planned by Guo Baoyu.

Second, strong enemies are surrounded and dangers are everywhere
At that time, the Jin Kingdom only occupied the Central Plains and the Kwantung region, although it was a monopoly, but there was the Song Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty) in the south, the Western Xia in the west (don't look at it is just a small northwest country, the combat effectiveness is very strong, and the number of troops is definitely quite large), there is Mongolia in the north (at that time Genghis Khan had already founded the Great Mongolian State), Mongolia is needless to say that the Battle of Laye Fox Ridge destroyed the Jin Kingdom's 450,000 troops, making the Jin State completely decay The Mongol army at that time had already passed the Great Wall, and the Jin Emperor abandoned Zhongdu and fled south to Beijing. And the Southern Song Dynasty, not to mention the absolute feud with the Jin Dynasty, the shame of Jing Kang will always be remembered, so there are two major feuds in the south and the north, the enemy Jin Guo is no matter how powerful it is, it will be dragged down, and the Western Xia always comes out to fight guerrillas and take advantage of the fire and robbery to create border conflicts in the northwest at every turn, and the demise of the Jin State in the case of such strong enemies is almost a foregone conclusion.

Third, the emperor fainted and did not know right from wrong
Emperor Jinguo Completed Yan Yongji was such an emperor before he was inherited from the emperor's brother as a prince, the former Emperor of the Jin Dynasty completed Yan Jing killed his own political views and two uncles Zheng Wang and Zhao Wang, and the other capable and effective royal kings were all stripped of their posts and became idle princes, this Wei King Yongji was because of incompetence but retained his position in the dynasty, after Yan Jing's death because he had no sons, so he passed the throne to Yan Yongji, and as a result, this person was loyal and loyal as long as he was shouting and fighting Mongolia Of course, the generals who shouted slogans did indeed lead their troops to the battlefield, but they never won a victorious battle, including the first thing the next emperor of Yan Yongji did was to escape, directly abandoning Zhongdu and fleeing to Beijing.

Fourth, the general is incompetent and incompetent, and the use of people is not wise
If nothing else, let's talk about why the 450,000-strong army in the face of Genghis Khan's hundred thousand troops will be defeated and the whole army will be destroyed, even the marshals and military divisions will be killed on the battlefield, the reason is that the use of non-human, when the Marshal of the Golden Kingdom completed Yan Jiujin Shuai 300,000 troops stationed in wild Fox Ridge because of their own rigidity and self-use and still holding the Jurchen cavalry over the ten thousand invincible old yellow calendar, had to face the Mongol cavalry face to face, the result of the Mongol armies completed the great cause of unifying Mongolia from the general to the soldier are born into death for many years to fight, And the army of The Completed Yan Jiujin did not fight at all, and as a result, the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and the general who led 150,000 troops stationed in Xuande, The Great General Completed Yan Husha heard that wild fox ridge could not hold back and actually commanded the army to escape, and as a result, he did not flee well and escaped from Xuande City directly by the Mongol army, and 150,000 people became corpses in less than a day, only Finished Yan Fox Sha fled, and soon after the Battle of Wild Fox Ridge, the general Hu Shahu, who remained in Xijing (Taiyuan), was very happy for his good deeds. The result of the Mongol army's tactics of luring the snake out of the cave was a big defeat and lost the central plains important town of Xijing, not to mention that the commander and thirty thousand remnants of the army were defeated on the way to flee to Zhongdu, all the way to kill and loot the tyranny, and the official warehouses and people's houses were looted everywhere they went, this kind of behavior Emperor Yan Yongji not only did not dispose of Hu Shahu but also actually said that the imperial court was the time to employ people and could not kill the generals indiscriminately, how could such an emperor and general Jin Guo not die.

Fifth, the monarchs and courtiers are discordant and miss the opportunity
It is said that after Genghis Khan crossed the Great Wall, he received all the envoys he sent to Huarazimo and was killed, and the angry Genghis Khan decided to return to the grasslands to suspend the logging of gold, at this time, the Jin kingdom, which could have been given a chance to breathe, was even more decayed due to internal contradictions, and Yan Yongji did not punish Hu Shahu, but this Hu Shahu secretly bought the general of the palace guard with the stolen gold and silver jewelry to launch a coup d'état, imprisoned and killed Yan Yongji. Before the establishment of Yan Xun as emperor, we said that the first thing this complete Yan Xun did when he came to power was to move the capital to Fenjing to rely on the Yellow River Graben to block the iron hooves of the Mongol cavalry, but unfortunately, this place in the south of the Song Dynasty had western Xia, although it avoided the Mongol cavalry, but it entered a more dangerous place for the future Southern Song Dynasty to invade the capital of the Jin Dynasty, but this completed Yan Xun fled south to find a good reason to be the Southern Tour (the meaning of sightseeing in the mountains), It's just that at that time, zhongdu was almost unable to hold on to it, you said that you really patrolled the south when the common people were stupid, even if the common people didn't understand the officials and generals everywhere, they were not stupid, and the defenders and generals in all parts of the north of the Yellow River didn't care if they heard that the emperor had fled south, they didn't care whether they surrendered or ran, and soon almost all the people north of the Yellow River were lost, and Daikin completely entered the strategic passivity, so Dajin originally had the hope of defending the Central Plains, and the result was that because of the internal contradictions, he missed a good opportunity not to say, and it was a mistake again and again.
Sixth, Liaodong lost its defense and cut off foreign aid
Liaodong is the land of the Jurchen Dragon, which must not be lost, because as long as Liaodong is in the hands of the Jinguo, it can let the liaodong army make trouble for the Mongols in the rear when the main force of the Mongol army is going south, that is to say, Liaodong and China are each other's horns to contain Mongolia, once Liaodong loses the Mongol army, it can attack the Central Plains without any worries, and the Central Plains are cold, and secondly, the significance of Liaodong is extremely important, because the loss of Liaodong as the birthplace of the Jinguo is the heaviest spiritual blow to the whole country of Jin. The Mongol army first took Liaodong and then attacked the Central Plains with all its might, and at this time the Jin Dynasty was already in ruins.
Seventh, Mongolia went south, and the Great Song Dynasty went north
In 1234, the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty launched a final attack on the Jin Dynasty, when the Mongol army broke the main army of the Jin Kingdom by 200,000 people in the area of Sanfeng Mountain, and the Southern Song Marshal Meng Jue's troops went north to cooperate with the Mongol army to capture the Jin dynasty royal family in Caizhou, and almost all of them were slaughtered and ruled the Central Plains for more than a hundred years.
