As everyone knows, during the Jingkang period, the Northern Song Dynasty, the overlord of the Central Plains, which was extremely prosperous and extremely powerful, collapsed due to a decisive political power transfer and other factors. At that moment of suffering, human nature, emotions, and even the rise and fall of the family and country converged into a touching and gripping long picture. Let's flip through the books of history and uncover the story that has been full of vicissitudes but stirred hearts.
Located in the red pine field in the northeast of China, lies an exquisite ancient capital - Acheng District of Heilongjiang Province. This is the place where the once glorious Jin Dynasty began, and the place where the great figure who once showed - Jin Taejo Wanyan Akuta. It was on this land that Jin Taejo had experienced an arduous struggle, and finally rose from the ground, shaping the heyday of the north for more than a hundred years. However, with the passage of time, the Jin Dynasty inevitably came to an end, and the source of this tragedy was the Northern Song Dynasty that we were once proud of.
Let's go back to that turbulent and magnificent era. In 1114 AD, Jin Taizu decided to rebel against the powerful Liao Dynasty, which officially announced the official launch of his great imperial blueprint. After countless hardships and twists and turns, Wanyan Aguta finally erected a banner in 1115 and established the magnificent Jin Dynasty. After that, everything from the lives of the common people to the change of royal power was quietly changed in this endless change. In order to facilitate his rule, Kim Taejo moved his political center to Huinyeongfu, Shangjing. As a result, the Huining Mansion in Shangjing has since radiated new vitality and vitality, and has reached an unprecedented prosperity in terms of politics, culture, economy and material.
Helplessly, the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty came to an abrupt end after the Liao was destroyed. Only a year later, the heroic warriors of the Northern Song Dynasty could not stop the fierce offensive of the two armies of Liaojin and Jin, and could only watch the capital Kaifeng fall into the control of the enemy. In desperation, Song Huizong and his son Zhao Huan fled to the south under the escort of various forces, and the Northern Song Dynasty finally came to an end at this moment. After Song Huizong returned to Kaifeng, Henan, he once again deposed Li Gang, a patriotic general who had been there for him. However, this seemingly simple decision laid the root of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In August 1126, the Jin army once again led two huge armed forces into the Yellow River valley and proposed reconciliation towards the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the Northern Song court hurriedly sent envoys to sue for peace, in the face of a powerful enemy, the warriors of the Northern Song Dynasty were unable to save the wreckage no matter how hard they tried. By the end of the year, the Jin army's troops had been aimed at the prosperous city of Kaifeng.
In this war that broke out in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the warriors of the Northern Song Dynasty waged a fierce and tragic struggle against the enemy in order to defend their homeland and dignity. Some soldiers even committed suicide by jumping into the Yellow River because they could no longer bear to leave their relatives and grief. From this, the cruelty of the war and the suffering of the people.
Although the Northern Song Dynasty paid a heavy price in this war, it was not completely destroyed, and the remaining power remained. In 1127 AD, the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and in order to show his determination and fighting spirit to fight the enemy to the end, he moved the capital to the beautiful Lin'an (Hangzhou, Zhejiang). Although the territory left by the Northern Song Dynasty was only half of that of the Northern Song Dynasty, it still held on to its rule for more than 100 years during the war-torn season, which is known as the Southern Song Dynasty.
The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was not only one of the fate of the dynasty, but also left a profound lesson and enlightenment. It reminds everyone that only by upholding justice and rejecting violence can they truly protect themselves and defend peace. This situation makes us cherish today's peaceful environment even more, inherit and carry forward the tenacity and perseverance left by our ancestors, and jointly create a better future
