The scriptures burned the Qin Chamber in turmoil, and Sun Wu was in danger of forbidding the Dynasty. What a sin in the sages' words, the group of small ying court affairs are sad.
——" Reading Fan Wenzheng's Ruling Book Jing Kang's Disaster is That People Don't Know Soldiers"
China has a culture of 5,000 years, and in the long river of history, it is very normal for the power of successive dynasties to change endlessly, just as the so-called "winner is king, loser is Kou" is the case.
When rulers competed for status and power, it was naturally the common people who suffered, and according to incomplete statistics, the population of the country was only a few million people in the most chaotic period of ancient times.
After the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, it also drew a successful end to the chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and finally defeated the Southern Dynasty Chen under his rule, and the Song Dynasty completed the unification of the country.
However, the emperor is a lonely profession, so the vast majority of emperors in history have the problem of "lonely and extremely suspicious", and Zhao Kuangyin, who is "yellow robe plus body", is no exception.
He was afraid that others would copy his "registration path", so he "drank a cup of wine and released the military power" to the backbone ministers, but he did not expect that when the hidden dangers around him were eliminated, he gave the opportunity for foreign enemies to invade. It is the "Jingkang Change" that occurred in the year of Jingkang, also known as the "Shame of Jingkang".
01What is the "Shame of Jingkang"
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has always been heavy on literature and light on force, which led to the very weak combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army, when Song Weizong was addicted to enjoying life, making the court traitors take the lead, and the eunuchs act as a blessing.
What is even more incredible is that under the operation of some "rigosters", the Jinguo in the north has gradually grown, and the Liao state has a sense of crisis.
In order to defeat the opponent, the Jin State and the Northern Song Signed the so-called "Maritime Alliance", which is simply that the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin State attacked the Liao State together, and after the victory, the two countries divided the land together.
Unexpectedly, after the Liao State was destroyed, the Jin Military became more powerful, and the originally discussed "Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures" also became floating clouds, forced by oppression, and the Northern Song Dynasty could only swallow its anger.
Soon Song Weizong's retribution came, the "former Lord of the Jin State" died, and the new lord tore up the original agreement and planned to attack the Song dynasty in the south.
The most ridiculous thing is that in the face of the crisis, the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs engaged in infighting, and finally the Jin army took all the way, and in just a few months, they attacked many barriers and entered the capital.
At this point, the Northern Song Dynasty withdrew from the stage of history, and more than 14,000 people, including Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song, as well as harem concubines, royalty, noble relatives, close subjects, and various craftsmen, were escorted to the Jin Dynasty.
02What is the "Lead The Sheep Ceremony"?
When you see the word "ritual", everyone will definitely think of etiquette, but this "ritual" is exactly the opposite of etiquette, but it is a ritual with a strong insulting nature.
According to records, the "sheep leading ceremony" is a kind of surrender ceremony of the ancient northern nomads in China, and the founder is the Jurchen tribe of the Jin Kingdom.
For the Jurchens, the "sheep leading ceremony" was just a way for them to celebrate victory, but for the captives, not only did their self-esteem be trampled on, but the execution process was also extremely cruel!
In general, the ritual was simple, with the captives needed to wear sheepskin naked and then tie a rope around their necks and let them lead them around, meaning that the captives would submit and be slaughtered like sheep.
Many people think that the leading ceremony sounds much gentler than ancient torture, and there should be no pain, and if you have this idea, you are very wrong.
This kind of "etiquette" not only mentally strikes at the captives, but also tortures their bodies, after all, the ancients advocated the idea that "soldiers can be killed and cannot be disgraced", and it can be said that this ritual is cruel.
Although this "etiquette" has no effect on men, it is even more cruel for women, although it was feudal in ancient times, and women regarded chastity as very important.
Leaving them naked in public is undoubtedly more cruel than killing them, so some women choose to commit suicide after experiencing them.
According to records, the picture of Empress Zhu Lian of Song Qinzong wearing sheepskin and being flirted with by foreign races at that time became the most humiliating scene in the history of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the good-looking empress Zhu Lian, only 26 years old, was draped in a thin sheepskin, and under the gaze of many golden soldiers, she completed the "sheep-leading ceremony", which was a "strange shame and great humiliation" for her.
What is even more tragic is that after completing the "sheep-leading ceremony", the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty and the empress dowager Wang Wanrong were ordered by the Jin people to "give baths", that is, to let them take a bath, which is convenient for men at any time, which can be said that the picture is unimaginable.
In the end, Empress Zhu could not bear the humiliation, and chose to end her life on the same day, which became one of the deeds of the Song Dynasty in the last years of losing power and humiliating the country.
In the face of Empress Zhu Lian's fierceness, Jin Shizong praised: "Huai Qing is clean and clean, and he has a virginity." The crowd was drunk and unyielding," so he was posthumously named "Lady Zhenjie of Jingkang County." ”
It is ridiculous that the kings of the Song Huizong Dynasty recognized all these humiliations, endured humiliations in the Jin Kingdom for many years, and gave birth to more than a dozen sons. However, after Emperor Huizong of Song fell ill and died, the body was burned by the Jin people as lamp oil. The end of a generation of emperors ended in misery.
