After the "Shame of Jingkang", how ferocious was the revenge of the Southern Song Dynasty? During the Northern Song Dynasty, only 100,000 of the 7 million gold people remained, and there was once a thing that made all the Song Dynasty people hate and unforgettable

After the "Shame of Jingkang", how ferocious was the revenge of the Southern Song Dynasty? Only 100,000 of the 7 million gold people remain

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an event that all the Song Dynasty people hated and remembered, this incident was the famous Jing kang change in history, after this incident, the Northern Song Dynasty was declared dead, and the emperor of the dynasty and a large number of royal relatives became prisoners and were sent to the Jin Kingdom.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, many people supported the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty by Zhao Shuo, the son of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, although at the beginning, the situation faced by the Southern Song Dynasty was precarious, not only was the overall national strength relatively weak, but also the social development was relatively lagging behind, and it was obviously impossible to rise in a short period of time.

If at this time, the Jin people raised troops to the south, perhaps the Southern Song Dynasty was also facing the fate of extinction, but it just so happened that at this time, in addition to the rise of the Jin Kingdom, there was also another country that was secretly developing, this country was the Mongol Empire at that time, and its overall strength was not inferior to the Jin State at all.

If at this time the Jin State was raising troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, it was likely to face the situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back, so in order to ensure the stability of its rear, the ruler of the Jin State at that time still chose to rest and recuperate and make plans, not to mention that in the previous war with the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of troops had been lost, and it was not appropriate to make a big move.

And this also gave the Southern Song Dynasty a chance to breathe, because the Song Dynasty people had a strong desire to restore the country in their hearts for the shame of destroying the country, and they also hated the aggression of the Jin people, so with the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, the Southern Song Dynasty gradually developed and grew, but even so, it was still difficult to defeat the powerful Jin State. Therefore, at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty chose to unite with the Mongol Empire in the north to jointly oppose the Jin Dynasty.

The Request for Alliance put forward by the Southern Song Dynasty at that time had no reason to refuse, after all, for them, the Jin State was also a very powerful enemy, if the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin State, then they were not far from the day of destruction, and they naturally understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so the two sides quickly formed a joint army to attack the Jin Kingdom.

On the other hand, the Jin Dynasty did not expect the Mongol Empire to cooperate with the Southern Song Dynasty, and at the same time, the Jin Empire was far less powerful than it once was, and the rulers of the dynasty lived a luxurious life after victory, which led to the corruption of the internal bureaucracy of the Jin Dynasty, and there was no response in the face of the invasion of the two countries, and finally the capital was breached.

And the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty waited for many years, in order to avenge the annihilation of the country at this moment, they killed into the capital of the Jin Kingdom, whether it was women, children, old or young, did not let go, for a time wailed all over the field, corpses and bones everywhere, blood stained the river, it is said that at that time, there were 7 million soldiers and civilians in the Jin Kingdom, and in the end only survived about 100,000 people, which shows what a bloody killing and crazy revenge this is.

And what is even more unimaginable is that after the ruler of the Jin Kingdom was killed at that time, the body was actually divided into two, when it was really a different body, and the concubines of his harem were also trampled and humiliated by these soldiers, and how many women were tortured to death after being brutally abused, and it has to be said that at this time, the Golden Kingdom has undoubtedly become a purgatory on earth.

In fact, the reason why the Jin Dynasty will face such a devastating blow is mainly because they once made the same bad deeds against the Northern Song Dynasty, which can also be regarded as self-inflicted evil consequences.

This incident is also the famous shame of Jing Kang in history, when the Northern Song Dynasty was a relatively powerful Central Plains dynasty, and the overall economic development was among the best in the world.

However, such a powerful dynasty has a very fatal flaw, that is, the policy of emphasizing literature over military force has led to a relatively small number of military generals, and the autonomy of the army is very limited by civilian officials, and this series of factors has also made the Northern Song army far less powerful than it once was.

In addition, at that time, Emperor Huizong of Song was also a faint and incompetent monarch, often listening to the words of some traitorous ministers, in the face of the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, not only did not send generals to the battlefield to resist the enemy's attack, but repeatedly tolerated and signed a series of unequal treaties, which also fueled the arrogance of the Jin State and made them have greater ambitions for the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, so they constantly put forward some unreasonable demands, and the ultimate goal was to launch a war and invade the Northern Song Dynasty.

In fact, although the overall military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was relatively low at that time, there were some patriotic generals such as Yue Fei, with their outstanding talents and the ability to command troops to fight, they were able to compete with the Jin State to a large extent, even if they faced the end of defeat in the end, they would not be destroyed, but unfortunately, Song Huizong did not reuse Yue Fei and others, but also listened to Qin Juniper's rumors and let Yue Fei die unjustly in prison.

This stupid practice made the Jin State less resistant when it invaded the Northern Song Dynasty, and later it drove straight in, attacking the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, they burned and looted along the way, doing no evil, and plundered a large amount of property and personnel of the Northern Song Dynasty, these people were basically driven as slaves, which is why the Song Dynasty people hated the Jin people, and it is no wonder that the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty would retaliate so wildly later.

In addition to the inhumane and vicious behavior of the Jin Dynasty when it destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, it did not make a clear choice in the face of the Mongol Empire, and in the beginning, although the various tribes in the Mongol region were powerful, they were not particularly harmonious internally, and there were many obstacles to achieving a unified regime.

For such a situation, the Jin State at that time chose to use some anti-treacherous tactics to cause great turmoil within the Mongol Empire and let them disintegrate on their own, so that they only needed to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Unexpectedly, a very powerful leader appeared in the Mongolian tribes at that time, this person was Genghis Khan, who successively annexed various Mongolian tribes, and his descendants also realized the unification of the surrounding tribes on this basis.

The Mongol Iron Horse was a very strong army at that time, as a nomadic people, they were brave and good at war, and they were even more burly, and the Golden Kingdom that had offended them would naturally be treated as enemies.
