At the end of the second year of Yuanxing, when Jin Xuanzong was dying, king Jing was the first to hear the news, first entered the palace to "serve the disease", and closed the Donghua Gate. When Emperor Aizong of Jin, who was then the crown prince, heard that the second brother had entered the palace, he was afraid that he would make some corrections to change the crown prince, so he immediately sent more than 30,000 guards of the Eastern Palace to surround the palace, and then knocked on the door to see him. The guarding ma Du Wei Du du After entering the palace, Yan Shouxu immediately sent several soldiers to arrest the second brother and put him under house arrest in the small room next to him. That night, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin collapsed, and Emperor Shouxu took the throne for Emperor Aizong of Jin. After Jin Aizong succeeded to the throne, he did not kill his second brother Shou Chun, and also made him the "King of Jing" from the King of England. Soon, the King of Jing was told to "rebel", and Jin Aizong wanted to kill him, thanks to the good words spoken by empress dowager Cisheng, and Yan Shouchun was left to his life. However, the Jing king remained under house arrest until after the Mongols broke through the capital and were killed by the Mongols in Qingcheng.
After Emperor Aizong of Jin succeeded to the throne, he changed his name to Yuan Zhengda. On the first day of his ascension, he had just taken a seat in the Lund Hall, when suddenly a strong wind blew outside, blowing off several pieces of the huge tiles of the Duanmen City Tower. Manchu Wenwu was suspicious and fearful, and they all thought it was an ominous omen. Without saying a few words, another person entered the newspaper, saying that there was a man outside the palace wearing a ma dai filial piety, looking at the Chengtian Gate and crying and laughing, and shouting loudly: "I laugh, laughter will be no one; I cry, crying That the Golden Kingdom will die." Hearing that there was such a "crow's mouth", the courtiers who entered the new emperor's ascension to the pole all advised Jin Aizong to arrest the man and kill him in the street. Jin Aizong was very generous, saying that he hoped that the people outside the country would speak directly about political affairs, and even if they involved ridicule, they should not add to the crime. When the Emperor of the Golden Kingdom saw the emperor say this, it was not good to treat the man with a heavy punishment, and only on the grounds that "the king's door is not a place to cry and laugh" as a reason, he hit the man with a few sticks and let him go. After Emperor Aizong of Jin ascended the throne, there were not too many "cheers up" moves, and the Jin State still "developed" according to inertia. Especially in the first few years after Emperor Jin's succession, the Mongols were busy eliminating western Xia, and the persecution of the Jin state had obviously slowed down.
After Wo Kuotai succeeded to the Khan's throne, he strictly implemented Genghis Khan's last will and testament of "borrowing the road to destroy Jin", and if it was soft, it would come hard, and later he forcibly "borrowed the road" to capture strategic places such as XingyuanFu (present-day Hanzhong, Shaanxi) and Chuzhou (present-day Luoyang, Shaanxi) of the Song Dynasty, directly into the hinterland of Sichuan, and in 1231 (the fourth year of Shaoding) crossed the Han River, invaded the area of Deng Prefecture (present-day Deng County, Henan) in the Jin Kingdom, and defeated the main force of the Jin Dynasty at Sanfeng Mountain in Junzhou (present-day Yu County, Henan).
The fourth year of Shaoding (the seventh year of Jin Zhengda, 1231 AD) was a key year for the Mongols to decide to destroy Jin. The Wokoutai army was divided into three routes, the right route army was led by Tuolei from Baoji to the south, borrowing the Song Realm, and meeting the New Year's Spring Meeting Division Daliang; the left route army was commanded by Hu Chen Nayan and directly attacked Jinan; the middle road army was commanded by Wo Kuotai himself and killed Luoyang directly through the river.
After Emperor Aizong of Jin became emperor, people's fortunes in the last days were even worse, and they not only had to deal with the two former "vassals" of the Western Xia and the Southern Song Dynasty, but also had to offer flattery to the domineering Mongol masters. The irony is that the Jin Dynasty, who longed to blackmail the Song Dynasty in death, was not enough to pretend to be a grandson, and the Mongol uncle was now sending envoys to the Jin Kingdom to "blame the old coin", Qiankun was reversed, a hundred years of Hedong, a hundred years of Hexi. Therefore, Jin Aizong sat on the Throne of Jin, "abandoning Hebei, Shandong, and Guanshan, but defending Henan and Baotong Pass." "Within more than 2,000 miles from Luoyang, Sanmen, and Zhejin east to Pizhou, the Jin people set up four provinces and transferred 200,000 jingwei to defend Mongolia.
After the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongol army first attacked Dachangyuan in the spring of 1228, and the Jin Dynasty Pingzhang's political affairs completed Yan Heda to meet the enemy with the "Loyal Filial Army" led by the completed Yan Chen monk (完燕彝, nicknamed Chen Monk, zi Liangzuo). After the Yan Chen monk was brave and fierce, with four hundred horses to break the Mongolian eight thousand strong riding, "cover their own Mongolian difficulties, in twenty years there was this victory, play the first merit, the name of the earthquake in the country", Jin Tingli awarded Yan Chen and shang Dingyuan general, hereditary MouKe. In 1230, Gongwu Xian of Hengshan, one of the previous "Nine Dukes" of the Jin Dynasty, rebelled after descending on Mongolia, killed the Mongol general Shi Tianni, and fought fiercely with Shi Tianze, shi Tianni's brother, in Beizhou, and Yan Heda led Jin troops to help and defeated the Mongol army. However, a good start, for Jinguo, is by no means half the battle. At the end of the year, the Mongol Great Khan Wokoutai led a large army into Shaanxi. In fact, originally the Mongols had already sent envoys to the Jin army camp to negotiate peace, and the Jin general moved Pu'a to put the Mongol envoys under house arrest. After the great victory at Qingyang, Tupu Azhi was proud and said to the Mongol envoys: "Our army is well fed, you go back and tell you the Great Khan, if you dare to fight with me, you will come!" This greatly angered Wokoutai Khan, who immediately ordered troops, and his brother Tuolei led the crowd into Shaanxi, killing and swinging around Jingzhao, Tongzhou, and Fuzhou, destroying more than sixty military fortresses of the Jin Dynasty and heading straight for Fengxiang. Yan Heda and Chuanla Pu'a hurriedly moved the province to Fuxiang to prepare for Tongguan.
In the summer of 1231, when the Mongol soldiers violently besieged Fengxiang, the previously bullish Tuoba Pu'a and Wanyan Heda were timid and could not advance, saying: The Mongolian army is strong and should not be lightly advanced. Jin Aizong was anxious, and then sent an envoy to XiaoXiao: "Fengxiang has been besieged for a long time, and the defenders will be overwhelmed, so they can lead the car out of the customs to engage the Mongolian army a little, so as to ease the pressure on the defenders on the Fengxiang side and contain the Mongolian army." The two men were commanded, led the troops out of the customs with a hard scalp, and symbolically fought a small battle with the Mongolian army before collecting the army and entering the customs, without caring at all about the life and death of the Fengxiang Jin army. Soon, Fengxiang was captured by the Mongol army. It is worth mentioning that the Jin army also had small achievements, and the famous general Guanyan Chen and the monk won more with less in the valley, and even defeated the Mongol general Su buttai.
In between, Jin Guo descended to Give Li Changguo an idea: "The Jin Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing for almost twenty years, and what they relied on for safety was Tongguan Renshou and the Yellow River Heavenly Danger, if the treasure chicken entered Hanzhong, it would take less than a month to rush to Tangzhou and Dengzhou, so that the Jin Kingdom could be destroyed." Tuo Lei immediately told Li Changguo's suggestion to his brother Wo Kuotai, and the two of them hit it off and made a decision to attack Gold in three ways.
By the end of 1130, the Mongol Army of Toule had already invaded Raofengguan and moved east from Jinzhou to prepare to kill Fenjing. The chancellor of the Jin Dynasty, hearing the news, suggested to Emperor Aizong of Jin: "The Northern Army (Mongolia) risked thousands of miles, and after two years, it entered wuxiu (region), and its labor was extreme. We should use Bingtun (Yu) Sui (州), Zheng (州), Chang (州), Wuzhou (武州), Guide and Gyeonggi counties, with the generals to guard Luoyang, Tongguan, Huai (州), Meng (州), etc., with strict armaments, and the Beijing Division accumulated millions of grain, so that henan prefectures and counties were cleared of wilderness. He (the Mongols) wanted to attack but could not, they could not cut it down, the teachers and elders ate out, and they did not attack themselves. Although this proposal is reasonable, it is still a cowardly strategy, so Jin Aizong sighed: "Since the country crossed south for twenty years, the people in the country have destroyed their fields and houses, and their wives have been raised to raise non-commissioned officers. Now the enemy is unable to meet the battle, and it is in vain to protect himself. Although the capital exists, why is it a country! The world is what I am waiting for! Thinking about it again and again, survival has its own destiny, and only by living up to the people is good! Therefore, he ordered the Jin generals tun to xiangzhou and Dengzhou, and did not allow the strategy of "clearing the wilderness of the solid wall". Although Jin Aizong's "enlightenment" is high, after all, it cannot save the country.
According to the edict of Emperor Aizong of Jin, in early 1232, Guanyan Heda and Qianla Pu'a led various armies into Dengzhou, and the completed Yan Chen monks, Wu Xian, and others led the army to meet and leave Tun Shunyang. Hearing that the Mongol Tuolei led a large army to cross the Han River, the Generals of the Jin Dynasty discussed countermeasures, some of them talked about attacking it halfway through, and some of them talked about fighting after they crossed the river. At this point, Yan Heda and Qianla Pu'a panicked and rushed to Yushan Mountain, "Dividing the terrain, the column pace is in front of the mountain, and the knights are behind the mountain." "Strangely, after the Mongol soldiers saw the Jin army standing up, they did not go forward to meet the battle, but did not hurry to bypass the foot of the mountain, and after the Jinguo cavalry, they were killed in three teams. The two sides engaged each other, and the Mongol soldiers were tired from afar and soon retreated. Seeing this, Yan Heda said: "The Mongol army claims to be thirty thousand, and one-third of the people who carry heavy transport and protection account for one-third. Now hold on for two or three days, so that they are not allowed to eat, and if they take advantage of their retreat and attack, they will surely win. "The Mongols retreated from the great river, and the Yellow River was not frozen, they went deep into the heavy land, and where they could run, there was no need to make a quick decision." As a result, the Jin army did not take advantage of the victory to chase the north, and lost the perfect opportunity.
Early the next morning, the Jin army suddenly found that a Mongol soldier could not be found, and after cavalry reconnaissance, it was learned that the Mongol army had disappeared into the jujube forest on the other side of Gwanghwa. They were sneaky, cooking during the day and not getting off their horses at night, and stayed inside for four days. The Mongols were resting in the forest, but the Jin soldiers had run out of food, so the generals deliberated and prepared to lead the army into Dengzhou to eat. After marching to the open field behind the forest, the Mongol soldiers who had been full of food and waiting for the attack suddenly attacked, and the Jin soldiers rushed to meet the battle. In the midst of the fight, the Mongol elite rode more than a hundred prominently, inviting the Heavy Transport Team of the Jin Army, and "the Golden Soldiers were almost not in a column." While fighting and running, the golden soldiers had to enter Dengzhou City in the middle of the night. Annoyingly, after Yan Heda and Tuoba Pu'a concealed their defeat, the above cousin Jin Ting said that he had fought another big victory, "A hundred officials express congratulations, and all the phases put wine." The villagers of Jinguo, who had been hiding in the military fortress, were also paralyzed and wandered back to the cottage to take care of household chores, "Within a few days, the Mongol rangers suddenly arrived and were captured. ”
In addition to his fears, he learned that the Mongol army had come to Beijing in several ways, and Jin Aizong was busy summoning his ministers to discuss the matter of rejecting the enemy. Some people suggested that they should take advantage of the Mongol soldiers to meet the exhaustion, but Pingzhang finished Yan Baisa disagreed, and he came up with a strange trick, sending Ma Jin to lead tens of thousands of soldiers out of the city, building a short embankment around the capital city, and then digging the Yellow River and filling the water into the shortlist, hoping to form a circle of "natural" water barriers outside the capital city to protect the city. At the same time, He also sent General Jin to lead 30,000 soldiers to escort the soldiers and civilians who dug the embankment by the Yellow River. He may not have thought about it, although the Mongol cavalry could not get close for a while, and the river water would also loosen the city wall over time.
At this time, the Mongol Wokoutai Khan, at the suggestion of the Western Xia, crossed the Yellow River from Baibo in Qinghe County from Hezhong Province, and asked Tuolei to lead an army to meet under the capital city. The Mongols suddenly appeared on the Yellow River, disembarked and landed on the shore for a fierce killing, Ma Jin himself and more than 10,000 soldiers were caught off guard, they were all hacked to death, and only three hundred people escaped back to the city. At this point, Wo Kuotai himself entered the Zhengzhou imperial camp and sent Su Butai to lead an army to attack Beijing.
The water refused to resist the Mongol army, and the Jin army could only negotiate the defense of the capital city. The irony is that after Jin Xuanzong crossed the southern border to Beijing, gao Qi, a powerful minister, saw that the city of Nanjing was eighty miles away, and it was difficult to defend, so he came up with the idea of building a sub-city in the city, "Forty miles in the Zhou side, there are many bad people's houses." The labor force is booming, and the people of Henan all think that they are suffering", spending hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention, exhausting many ordinary people. As a result, when the Mongol soldiers really arrived, the ministers decided that as long as the outer city was lost, the sub-city could not be defended, and finally decided to defend the outer city. Therefore, the forty-mile strong city wall that was originally built with great effort and effort was of no use at all. Moreover, the outer city of Fenjing was still built by the Northern Song Dynasty, and the "soil vein is very strong" and is not easy to overcome. Although the city was solid, there were indeed not many soldiers in the capital city, and the full count was full, and the Jin Kingdom eventually gathered 40,000 non-commissioned officers and 20,000 young and middle-aged residents, "Every four sides, each side sent a thousand flying tiger troops, in order to save the response, but also can not be army." "Therefore, the Jin Dynasty's defense of Beijing was completely counting on reinforcements outside the city.
After the small victory at the Battle of Yushan, the Mongol army led by Tuolei "scattered north, and all the prefectures and counties they passed through were destroyed, and they moved from Tangzhou to Beijing." After completing Yan Heda and moving Pu'a to receive the edict, he led the remaining 150,000 elites of the Jin Kingdom from Dengzhou to aid Beijing. The Mongols were not in a hurry, and only sent three thousand cavalry to follow, but did not take the initiative to attack. After crept for a while, Yan Heda and the others discussed: "The enemy soldiers only have three thousand horses, and we only do not fight, which is a manifestation of weakness, and we should turn around and destroy these three thousand people!" Without waiting for the Jin army to arrange the arrangement, the Mongol soldiers followed them to the Shahe River in Junzhou and suddenly retreated without a fight. Jin Jun took a breath and ordered to set up camp in the local area to rest. Just after the tent was set up to catch his breath, the Mongolian army suddenly attacked, and the Jin army panicked, and hurriedly abandoned the tent to meet the attack, "(The Jin army) must not rest, eat and drink, and fight and fight." "The Jin army walked to Huangyudian (黄榆店, in present-day yu county, Henan), twenty-five miles away from Junzhou, and there was heavy snowfall in the sky, and the army was not allowed to go. Just as he was about to camp and rest, the Fenjing side sent an urgent edict, asking the two provincial armies to immediately go to Fenjing to assemble. In desperation, the Jin army had to drive out on a snowy day.
At this time, the Mongol soldiers who crossed the Yellow River from the north gathered more and more, and they met with the Mongolian army of the Torebu, cutting down large trees to block the passage of the Jin army, preparing to surround the Jin army and eat it. Fortunately, Jin fought Yang Wohuan hard to fight a bloody road, and Jin Jun was able to go forward for a while. After arriving at the Three Peaks Mountain, the Jin Army dared to camp and breathe, "There are non-commissioned officers who do not eat until three days." ”
At this time, the two Mongolian armies had joined forces, surrounded the 150,000 gold legions from all sides, and attacked in turn. When half of the Mongolian army rushed to kill, the other half of the Mongolian army burned wood and roasted meat and drank heavily. Then, the tired Mongol army came back to eat meat and drink, and the warm and full Mongolian army rushed up to kill the enemy and "rest", and these Mongols fought like hunting. The Jin army was pitiful, walking for several days, many people had no food in their stomachs, and they caught up with the heavy snow and cold, and they did not even have the strength to raise weapons, and they barely supported it. Seeing that tens of thousands of Jin soldiers had been killed, the Mongolian army deliberately gave way to a road leading to Junzhou. At the same time that the defeated Jin soldiers fled, the Mongolian army ambushed many fresh troops on both sides of the road, taking advantage of the defeat of the Jin soldiers to highlight the slashing and killing, "The Jin army collapsed, and the sound was like a collapsed mountain." "More than 100,000 old masters are crying wolf howls, and the movement is really frightening." Among all the senior generals of the Jin Army, only Wu Xian led more than thirty horsemen to escape from the bamboo forest, and Yang Wohuan and others were killed in the melee. Guanyan Heda lost contact with Tuoba Pu'a, and had to be protected by the monk Guanyan Chen and led hundreds of horses to flee to Junzhou. At this point, the 150,000 people of the Jin Army had basically become ghosts under the swords of the Mongol soldiers, and the elite was lost.
At Wokoutai in Zhengzhou, he heard that Tuolei was engaged in a battle with the Jin army, and sent several reinforcements, so the armies attacked Junzhou together. The city of Junzhou was destroyed, and Yan Heda escaped into the cave room and cut off the head of the Mongol soldiers immediately. Therefore, the Mongol soldiers sent people to hold Yan Heda's head around The Capital Xuanwei: "You JinGuo are ashamed, but the Yellow River and the complete Yan Heda." Now, the Yellow River is occupied for us, and Yan Heda is killed by us, so why not surrender! ”
The famous general Yan Chen monk could have escaped by hiding in a hidden place, he was afraid of dying at the hands of the rebels, and he was afraid of being killed in the chaos, the emperor accused him of being greedy, so he went to the Jin army commander himself after the Mongols killed and plundered, calling himself the general of the Jin Kingdom, and had something to say. As if the Mongol army were facing a great enemy, several people surrounded him and escorted him to the tow mine. When the yanchen monk saw that Tuolei did not kneel, he said loudly: "I am the commander of the Great Jin Zhongxiao Army, and the victory of Dachangyuan, Weizhou, and Huigu is all for me!" If I am dead in a rebellious army, people will call me a negative country. Today, if you understand that you are coming to die, there will be those who know me in the world! The Mongol army cherished the hero and persuaded the monk Chen to surrender, but refused. The Brutal Nature of the Mongols came to the fore, pushed the monk to the ground, beat his legs with a stick, and used a knife to cut open the mouth of the hero of the Golden Kingdom, all the way to the ear. The monk Chen "cried out in blood and did not yield until death." Such a Jin Guo Zhonglie, in fact, is also the Han culture "loyalty and filial piety and righteousness" implications, he always learned in the military "Filial Piety", "Analects", "Spring and Autumn Zuo Shi Biography" and other Confucian classics, "There is nothing in the army, then (Yu) under the window to make cattle hair fine characters, such as cold and bitter soldiers, their world-like taste is indifferent." Such a loyal and courageous man, even the Mongol generals were moved, and prayed with horse milk wine: "Good man, he will be reborn one day, and I should get it!" As for the shifter Pu'a, he was eventually captured alive by the Mongol army. Although this man mistook the military, he was still a dignified minister, preferring to die rather than surrender, and was killed by the Mongols.
By March 1232, the Mongol army had already invaded Raofengguan. The Jin general Wu Dian unified the 110,000 troops in Qinzhou and other places to evacuate qinzhou and other places, and entered Shaanxi from Yuzhou, and at the same time, gathered more than 100,000 grains of grain, prepared to load them with guan ships, and went down the river to the east. While busy, the Mongol cavalry was killed, the grain had just loaded a few ships, and they could only abandon the local area, and more than two hundred empty ships ran fast, and there was no trace in an instant. Enraged, Jin forced the local state to manually transport the cangsu stored in Lingbao and Gorge Stone. The Mongolian rangers rode freely, met the people of the Golden Kingdom who were transporting grain, hunted, and killed and plundered a lot. Soon, Jin Juntong sent Li Ping down to Mongolia, causing the Guanzhong portal to open widely. Tudan Wudian was frightened and immediately ordered the soldiers of The Township to flee, "Each of them with the old and the young, from the southwest into the mountains and ice, the generals will rebel." "When the Mongolian army heard the news, it immediately sent hundreds of elite horsemen to follow in pursuit." The mountain roads are covered with snow, the day is frozen, the mud is exhausted, and the women accompanying the army abandon the old and the young, and the road is wailing. "More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who were so weak fled and died were finally completely annihilated in the mountains by the Mongol soldiers, and Wudian himself was also captured and killed.
In April, the Mongols attacked Luoyang. In luoyang, there were only more than 3,000 Jin soldiers in The Three Peaks Mountain and more than 100 loyal and filial troops under the former Yan Chen monk, and the remaining officer Sahe Yuan, who was too ill to lead the troops, died of despair and threw himself into the moat. Jin will lead the army and lead the soldiers to fight naked, and he will send hundreds of strong soldiers to run back and forth on the city wall, "its momentum is no different from that of the masses," and create a "containment cannon" that sends stones, killing thousands of Mongolian troops. "If the Mongol forces attack, those who cannot be pulled out for more than three months will retreat." It can be seen that the Golden State still has the ability to general, but there are too few loyal and righteous people.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and about to return to the north, the Mongol Great Khan Kuotai sent envoys from Zhengzhou to Beijing to ask Emperor Jin to surrender, and made a list of dozens of Ministers of the Jin Dynasty and their families, asking Emperor Jin to send these people, along with Embroidered Women and Hai Holly, to the Mongolian military camp as "tributes." When Jin Aizong received the message of peace, he was naturally overjoyed, and he sealed the son of his second brother Guanyan Shouchun who was under house arrest, Wanyan Shouchun, as the King of Cao, and prepared to send this nephew as a hostage to the Mongol army to talk about peace.
Su Butai, who commanded the siege outside the capital city, did not pay any attention to the "goodwill" of the Jin Dynasty, saying: "I was only ordered to attack the city, and I did not receive the edict of the Great Khan to make peace." Therefore, Subutai set up siege equipment around Fenjing, driving Han captives and women old and weak to fill in the moat, and many people with limited mobility were immediately pushed into the river as "filling" and "more than ten steps in an instant". At such a critical juncture, the Jin state of Pingzhang completed Yan Baisa forbade the defenders to engage the Mongol army, claiming that the emperor was making peace with the Mongol Khan. For this reason, the defenders of the four cities of the Golden Kingdom shouted loudly. When Emperor Jin heard the news, he hurried out of the duanmen to Zhouqiao to comfort the people. Because it had just rained at that time and the land was muddy, the soldiers and civilians guarding the city suddenly saw the emperor coming, and they all knelt on the ground in fear, "the old and the young covered, so that those who mistakenly touched the emperor's (emperor of mourning) clothes." Jin Aizong inquired about the situation, and someone replied: "The Northern Soldiers have filled in more than half of the way, and Pingzhang has completed Yan Bai's order not to send an arrow, for fear of bad peace talks, does the country really have peace talks with the Northern Army?" Jin Aizong replied bitterly: "For the sake of beings, all of them are obedient to the worship of their subjects." I have only one son, I am not yet an adult, and I am ready to be taken hostage. I hope that you will be patient for a while, and when the King of Cao (GuanYan Yuke) comes out, if the Tatars (Mongols) do not retreat, it will not be too late for you to die!"
In the meantime, Jin Aizong once wanted to lead his troops to break through from Dongcheng overnight, but he was blocked by the antler battle fence set up by the Meng song army, and he returned with a fight.
Meng Jue and the Mongolian army engaged in "psychological warfare" outside the city. Knowing that caizhou city lack of food and water, the Mongolian and Song coalition forces outside the city feasted, singing and dancing, the soldiers cheered and drank, ate a lot of food, "the city is hungry, sighing", the Jin army guarding the city smelled the smell of meat, almost had a nervous disease. Occasionally, some of the descendants descended from the city and told the Song army that the grain in the city had been starved for three months, and that all that could be eaten had been eaten, that the saddle boots and armor leather, including the snare drum and drum skin, were cooked and eaten, "listening to the old and the weak eating each other", and the daily grain of the golden army defending the city was "human and animal bones and celery paste". At the same time, in order to replenish the "military food", the Jin army often beheaded the entire team of the defeated army and "detained its flesh for food". Inside Caizhou City, it is simply another living hell. Seeing that the time had come, Meng ordered a general attack on caizhou city, and the Mongolian army also chiseled the western city into five gates, and the whole army entered, preparing to enter the city at the same time as the Song army.
In the first month of 1235, on the night of Pengshen, Emperor Aizong of Jin summoned hundreds of officials and passed the throne to the Eastern Yuanshi Guanyan Chenglin (the younger brother of Guanyan Baisa). Chenglin insisted, and Emperor Aizong said: "It is not convenient for Kurama to rush forward. Ai Qing is usually agile and strategic, in case he is spared, he can keep my golden country endless, and he will fulfill his wish. "Yan Chenglin had no choice, that is, the emperor's throne. Just after the big gift, the southern city has become an enemy. In the midst of the fall, the sound of killing on all sides was tremendous, and the Mongol and Song armies invaded the inner city of Caizhou.
Jin Aizong hanged himself from Youlan xuan. When Emperor Yan Chenglin of the Late Jin Dynasty heard the news of The death of Emperor Aizong of Jin, he was able to "lead his subjects into weeping, and he was known as Emperor Waizong." "The weeping is not over, and the city is falling." The people were busy throwing fires and burning the corpses of the Golden Emperor. The Late Jin Emperor's tearful eyes did not dry up, and he was also killed by the rebels. This Yan Chenglin was the shortest reigning "emperor" in Chinese history, with a total of just over an hour as emperor.
"A mere life is born, the figure survives in death, the unfinished is dead, and the sadness is also over." Although, in the "Rites", 'the death of the monarch is the society', the mourning sect is not ashamed". Shi Chen, the Yuanguo shichen who destroyed Jin, also had to admire the personality of Jin Aizong. Thinking about the tragedy of his fall, it is better than the Northern Song Dynasty, and the fierceness of the monarch should be several times better than hui and the second emperor of Qin!
