At the beginning of the 12th century, the Jin State established by the Jurchens, after destroying the Liao State to unify the north, also embarked on the road of southward expansion, becoming another powerful threat to the Northern Song Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty. The confrontation between the two countries ended in the defeat of the weak and incompetent Northern Song Dynasty. And this defeat caused the Central Plains to suffer a great catastrophe, and eventually caused the national disaster "Shame of Jingkang" that we cannot forget to this day.
After the bloodbath of Beijing, the Jin army took more than 3,500 people, including the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. What happened to these people afterwards was like purgatory, and men were tortured and scolded. Emperor Huizong of Song later fell ill and died in the Five Kingdoms City, and his body was boiled into lamp oil. What is even more tragic is that those innocent women have become the playthings of the Golden People and have been humiliated. Women have been one of the biggest victims of dynastic change in Chinese history, but such a large-scale tragedy as in the Jingkang Disaster is rare.
After the shame of Jing Kang, the ambitions of the Jin people still did not stop, and they maintained a long war and confrontation with the Southern Song Dynasty. And just as the so-called 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, the glory of the Golden Kingdom also has a time to come to an end. A hundred years later, the rise of the Mongols made them feel the fear of the Northern Song Empire when it faced them. In order to wash away the shame of the Jingkang Disaster a hundred years ago, the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty risked joining forces with the Mongols and sending troops to attack the Jin Dynasty.
Under the attack of the Song and Mongol forces, the Jin army was gradually defeated, and in June 1233, the capital of the Jin state was lost. After the Mongols entered the city, like the original Jin people, they burned and plundered, and did no evil. After looting the property, they targeted the people again, and swept away more than 500 people in the Jin Dynasty Sect Room, loaded them with more than 30 large carts, and prepared to transport them to Helin. Behind the convoy, there were countless walking medical officers, priests, craftsmen and embroidered women. Such a scene is the same as the difficulty of Jingkang a hundred years ago.
Emperor Aizong of Jin fled before the city was destroyed, leading his remnants to flee into the wilderness, and was finally besieged at Caizhou City. Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, he did not want to be the emperor of the subjugated country, and actually begged the marshal to let Yan Chenglin inherit the throne, and he himself was in a hurry to hang himself. As a result, Yan Chenglin, the unlucky last emperor, died on the battlefield less than an hour after he ascended the throne. After the destruction of Caizhou City, Yan Shouxu's body was cut in half and divided up by the Mongols and Southern Song armies as spoils of war.
Although he could not leave a whole corpse, the ending of Yan Shouxu was good. Because his relatives are experiencing nightmares. Among the more than five hundred Jin Dynasty clans abducted by the Mongols were Jin Aizong's brothers King Jing wang Guanyan Shouchun, Liang wang guanyan congke, and a large group of royal nobles. The women included the Empress Dowager Wang, the Empress Dowager Shan, and all the concubines who had been knighted in the harem of the Jin Dynasty.
Just after walking out of Beijingcheng, the Mongols couldn't help it, and simply stayed five miles outside the city. On the improvised high platform, the commander of the Mongol army ordered the soldiers to pull the royal men of the Jin Dynasty off the cart, identify them one by one, and kill them all. After doing all this, the Mongol soldiers stepped on the blood donation, screamed and rushed into the more than thirty large cars containing royal women, and in broad daylight, staged an atrocity that could not be seen directly.
It wasn't until the next morning that the convoy set off again, and along the way, the women were still haunted by the clutches of the devil and were subjected to endless torture. Most of them died in pain before they could survive with Lin. The women who survived were divided up like objects by the Mongols, became slave girls, and began a new nightmare.
History, which is so strikingly similar, is also so ruthless. When the Jin people first committed the atrocities, they certainly did not expect their retribution to come so quickly and even more tragically.
