When the Jin Kingdom fell, the tragedy was comparable to the "Jingkang Shame" of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Aizong who was half-cooked and cut in half, and the Empress of the Jin Kingdom who was trampled by the soldiers and was painted, these are the "tragic appearances" when the Jin Kingdom fell.
In 1233 A.D., the Mongol army approached Bianliang City, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and after forcing Jin Aizong to sue for peace to no avail, the Mongol army besieged Bianliang City like an iron barrel, and the food in the city was soon in short supply.
In desperation, Jin Aizong tried to move the Southern Song Dynasty with the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, to borrow grain from the Southern Song Dynasty and ask for help, but the Southern Song Dynasty refused, and sent the famous general Meng Hui to unite with Mongolia to destroy Jin.
In the end, Jin Aizong abandoned Bianliang City and fled to Caizhou, but under the blow of the Mongol and Song coalition forces, Jin Aizong, who was already at the end of his rope, passed the throne to the general Wanyan Chenglin, and then hanged himself.
But Wanyan Chenglin did not last long, and was soon broken through the city gate by the coalition army, and he was killed in the chaos.
With the demise of the Jin Kingdom, the Jurchen nobles also suffered a "tragic" end, Jin Aizong was burned after hanging himself, and was cut into two pieces by the soldiers to take away the reward, and the Empress of the Jin Kingdom was also humiliated.
As for the other Jurchen nobles, under the wrath of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongol scimitars, the ending was not much better than that of their emperors and empresses, and the men of the royal nobles, most of whom were executed, and the women, were transported to the steppe and became the playthings of the Mongols.
This scene, and when the Jin State destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, how similar to the "Jingkang Shame" that happened, the two emperors of Hui and Qin were driven to the north like cattle and sheep, and the female dependents in the palace became the object of the Jin soldiers' venting.
How tragic and magnificent! How tragic! However, behind the tragedy and tragedy, it is clear that the Jin Kingdom is constantly "dying."
At the beginning of his succession, he first boldly changed Jin Xuanzong's foreign policy, stopped the truce with the Western Xia and the Southern Song Dynasty, and hoped to fight against the Mongols through reconciliation.
Immediately afterwards, he used the ministers who were not welcomed during the Jin Xuanzong period, such as Wanyan Heda, the prisoner Wanyan Chen Monk and other generals, and even the general Wuxian, who had surrendered to Mongolia, regardless of his previous suspicions, and re-entrusted him with important tasks.
Under the call of his spirit of rectifying the corporal and respecting talents, the Jin State emerged at that time with many loyal and patriotic soldiers, such as Hu Tumen, the governor of Lintao Mansion, when Genghis Khan attacked Lintao, he resisted desperately, bringing a lot of losses to the Mongolian army.
For a time, the Jin State can basically be said to be united in one mind, coupled with the death of Genghis Khan, so that the Jin State has achieved a lot of victories in the battle against Mongolia.
But soon, Jin Aizong, who was carried away by the short-term victory, began to be proud, especially after the monk Wanyan Chen broke the 8,000 Mongol army with 400 cavalry, which made Jin Aizong think that the Mongols were nothing more than that.
After getting carried away, Jin Aizong began to sing and dance, singing and singing night after night, and the officials of the Jin State, seeing the emperor like this, also went up and down, and did not think of the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and began to enjoy it.
In their concept, the Jin Kingdom will soon regain its former existence of making the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia tremble if they stomp their feet, and even Jin Aizong himself said: "I have three thousand armor soldiers, and I have spare strength across the Jianghuai River." ”
Arrogant, unenterprising, and dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period all day long, Jin Aizong didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
In 1232 AD, the Mongol army, under the leadership of Torrey, bypassed the heavily guarded Tongguan of the Jin State, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and detoured back to the south from the Hanzhong Basin, and then the army went straight to Bianliang, and by the time the Jin State reacted, the Mongols had reached the vicinity of Junzhou (now Yuzhou, Henan).
The battle coincided with the heavy snowfall, the cold and frozen, the Jin army was sleepy and lacked horses, coupled with the lack of food and grass, and had lost to the Mongolian army in terms of momentum.
In the end, the Mongolian army deliberately let go of an opening to Junzhou, and when the panicked Jin army embarked on this escape road, it attacked in one fell swoop and defeated the Jin army in one fell swoop.
The 150,000 Jin army, the Mongols didn't spend much money, they took it all, and the general Wan Yanzhan was also killed by the Mongol army, and taking Bianliang City, in the eyes of the Mongol army, was already as easy as finding a bag.
At this time, Jin Aizong saw that Bianliang City was besieged, not only lacked food and grass, but also had no hope of retreating from the enemy, so he remembered his "old friend" Southern Song Dynasty.
Jin and the Song Dynasty, is already "familiar" can no longer be familiar, more than a hundred years ago "Jingkang shame", so that the Song Dynasty people tasted the humiliation brought by the Jin State, and after the shame of Jingkang, whether it is civil or official, the voice and action of resisting the Jin State emerge in endlessly, during the period, there are also many such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other famous generals who resist Jin, for the Jin State, the Southern Song Dynasty people are eager to eat its flesh.
But when he came to the Jin Kingdom, he knew that the Southern Song Dynasty was the last hope for the Jin Kingdom to save itself, but he turned a blind eye, and the operations that attracted the hatred of the Southern Song Dynasty were one after another.
For example, during the time of Jin Xuanzong, after gaining a short-term advantage in the war against Mongolia, Jin Xuanzong, who was dizzy, did not make a fuss, but turned his head and began to fight the Southern Song Dynasty, which not only did not fight the Southern Song Dynasty, but also gave Mongolia a chance to breathe.
And Jin Aizong is even more excessive, he thinks that Mongolia may not be able to fight, but it will definitely beat the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is a big deal to occupy the Southern Song Dynasty after being occupied by Mongolia.
Not only that, while Jin Aizong pretended to be pitiful and asked the Southern Song Dynasty for help, on the other hand, he secretly dispatched troops, intending to unexpectedly take down the Sichuan region of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that in the future, Bianliang City would be lost, and then used to settle down.
Is the Southern Song Dynasty a fool? Naturally not, can you agree to Jin Aizong's request for help? Definitely not, if it does, it will be blind.
Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty was finally pushed to the side of Mongolia step by step by the Jin State, and the Southern Song Dynasty government did not understand the truth of "cold lips and cold teeth", but a "partner" like the Jin State, even if it lacked heart, could not cooperate with it, which was not just seeking skin with the tiger, but seeking its own death.
Therefore, not long after the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain, as Bianliang City was broken by the Mongol army, Jin Aizong fled to Caizhou, and the Southern Song Dynasty also "firmly" stood on the side of the Mongols, joined forces with the Mongol army, formed a coalition army, and began to encircle and suppress the Jin State.
After the destruction of Bianliang City, Cui Li, the former general of the Jin Kingdom, became the "life talisman" of the Jin nobles who stayed in the city.
In 1233 A.D., Jin Aizong left behind a large number of female dependents in the palace and the Jurchen nobles in the city, only a few followers, fled to Caizhou, the former Jin general Cui Li, personally opened the city gate, welcomed the Mongolian army into the city.
After entering the city, more than 500 people from the queen mother, queen, princess concubine and clan of the Jin Kingdom were loaded into a cart by Cui Li and sent to the camp of the Mongolian army.
The camp of the Mongolian army was set up in Qingcheng, five miles south of Bianliang City, where Song Huizong and Song Qinzong surrendered to the Jin State, and then were sent to Mobei together with their queens and concubines.
Now, after these people from the Jin State were sent to the camp of the Mongolian army, the men of the Jurchen clan were killed here one by one by the Mongolian army like chickens and sheep, and the female dependents fell into the hands of the Mongols, and the results can be imagined.
During this period, the Jurchen nobles who were ravaged and lost their lives were thrown by the Mongols on the side of the road like garbage, and the rest were locked into carts and sent to the steppe in batches.
In the difficult road, especially when Hui and Qin. --- Jin poet described the tragic situation of the Jin country's female dependents being escorted to the grassland
The general Cui Li, although he took the initiative to surrender, but he also failed to let the Mongols look up, and the Mongolian army gave him "his wife and concubine Baoyu", and soon after, Cui Li was also killed by his subordinates, and ended up with the fate that a person who turned against the water deserved.
And Jin Aizong, who fled to Caizhou, played a miracle operation in Caizhou again.
I don't know if he was confused or for other reasons, not long after arriving in Caizhou, Jin Aizong, who had settled down, began to build a large number of buildings, not only built a palace called "Jianshan Pavilion", but also prepared a draft girl with great fanfare to enrich his harem.
There is no way, most of the original concubines have been lost in Bianliang, and the current harem is extremely empty, and the draft girl is also "imperative"! It's just that before the election started, Caizhou City was surrounded by the Mengsong coalition army.
In November 1233, the Southern Song Dynasty government sent the general Meng Heng to lead 20,000 troops and transport 300,000 stones of rice to join the Mongolian army under the city of Caizhou and prepare for a joint siege.
After nearly two months of resistance, Caizhou City finally ran out of ammunition, seeing that the general trend has gone, on the eve of the city's breaking, passed the throne to the general Wanyan Chenglin, Wanyan Chenglin was resolutely not accepted at first, but under the bitter pleading of Jin Aizong, he reluctantly agreed, and then, Jin Aizong hanged himself,
And Wanyan Chenglin, who had just ascended the throne, was soon killed by the coalition army that entered the city in the chaos, and after his death, more than 500 ministers and soldiers of the Jin State jumped into Rushui to die together.
At this point, the once invincible Jin Kingdom was declared extinct.
After the destruction of Caizhou City, the worst end was Jin Aizong, who had already hanged himself, and his queen.
On the occasion of the destruction of the city, the soldiers of the Jin State were afraid that Jin Aizong's body would be humiliated, so they set fire to it, but when they were halfway burned, they were found by Meng Heng and Meng General Ta Cha'er, hurriedly extinguished the flames, and ordered the soldiers to chop Jin Aizong in half, divide it equally and bring it back to receive the reward.
The Empress of the Kingdom of Jin, on the other hand, was insulted by the soldiers and left the famous "After Tasting".
One woman was naked, and several of them were carried on their backs, all of them armoured with swords...... There are those who hold their feet with their mouths. The only one will be close, and one person will not be able to stop it. and there were also those who chased after each other with silk and socks, and there were nineteen of them.
This general was mostly rumored to be Meng Heng in later generations.
