Sixty thousand Jin soldiers destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and why didn't the "800,000 forbidden army" at that time face the battle?

The janissaries of ancient times were similar to those of today' guards, and could only serve as a warning and defense. Not an offensive force. Comparing the guards with the border guards, everyone should think about who has strong combat effectiveness and whose combat effectiveness is weak. In addition, the ancient border guards fought almost every three to five years, and experienced hundreds of battles. The forbidden army is defending the imperial city, as long as there is no turmoil in the capital, it is estimated that there will be no war in the rest of its life. If, in the face of a formidable nomad as the Golden Soldiers, the Janissaries would not be rivals, even if they had a million. The Janissaries may be enough to deal with the common people around the imperial city, but it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to deal with the people on horseback.

Although the Janissaries of the Northern Song Dynasty said to be 800,000, it is estimated that there were only 80,000 people. The Janissaries were different from the border guards at the border, and they were experienced in hundreds of battles, while the Janissaries were all composed of rich sons who had not fought in the war, and they were all close associates of the emperor. The soldiers and leaders didn't have to go to the hard border to die. Moreover, those forbidden troops would definitely be dead when the Jin soldiers invaded The capital, and they could only defend. If the other side challenges certainly does not dare to fight, a battle is simply scum.

Therefore, in the face of the strong attack of the Golden Soldiers, the Janissaries are estimated to be overwhelmed. However, when the Jin soldiers invaded Beijing, there were 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng City, and the resistance was high. Jin Bing saw that there were too many people, so he proposed to "negotiate peace." The Song Qin Sect sent the chancellor He Li to negotiate, and in order to reach a reconciliation, Song Qinzong ordered all the Qin Wang soldiers to stop marching towards Kaifeng and suppress the people who had spontaneously organized to prepare to resist. The Golden Man put forward a lot of harsh conditions at that time, and the first time the money was not enough. The Jin people let the Northern Song Emperor pay money, the Northern Song Emperor could not come up with so much money, only in kaifeng city to loot, this search became chaotic, the people's hearts were also cold, just hit the Jin people's divisive plan.

At that time, it was a harsh winter, heavy snow was flying, the people in Kaifeng City were also hungry and cold, and the officers and soldiers also robbed on a large scale, which made the people of Kaifeng also chill. Therefore, a large number of residents fled, and the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to attack the city many times. Although the Northern Song Dynasty resisted, at that time, in front of the strong Jin soldiers, it was finally unable to resist, and the city of Kaifeng was finally destroyed, and the emperor became a prisoner of the order, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. If the Northern Song Dynasty used the Janissaries to organize the residents of the city to resist to the death, it was possible to wait until the reinforcements arrived to repel the Jin people. However, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty thought that if the conditions of the Jin people were met, the other party would retreat, and the result was that the other party did not want money at all, but wanted to be the emperor of the Central Plains.
