Preface
Since ancient times, many people have said that a strong country cannot be wiped out by external aggression. However, in fact, many powerful countries in China's history have gradually perished under the blows of external forces.
For example, the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty was invaded by Xirong. For another example, some countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were gradually wiped out under the blows of powerful external forces.
And in the history of the fall of the Jin Dynasty, we can also see this phenomenon.
The fall of the Jin Dynasty
As many people know, the Jin Dynasty was a powerful country in Chinese history. Its emergence not only changed the trajectory of China's history, but also had a great impact on China's politics, economy, and culture.
At that time, the Jin Dynasty was a very powerful country in East Asia, which was not only very strong in military strength, but also had a very great influence in terms of politics and culture.
At that time, people even compared the Jin Dynasty to the Golden Kingdom in Greek mythology, and felt that the Jin Dynasty was a very rich, peaceful and happy country.
However, just when people thought that the Jin Dynasty was a country that would never be conquered, the Jin Dynasty gradually went to the abyss of destruction under the attack of external forces.
In fact, the reason why the Jin Dynasty was conquered has little to do with the military strength of the Jin Dynasty.
The reason why the Jin Dynasty was conquered was largely related to some problems within the Jin Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty at that time, there were some people who were not satisfied with the rule of the Jin Dynasty, they felt that the rulers of the Jin Dynasty were too strict with them, and there were even some people who were still secretly rebelling against the rulers of the Jin Dynasty.
However, at this time, a very powerful force appeared abroad in the Jin Dynasty, and this force was Mongolia.
The emergence of the Mongol state brought a very big threat to the rulers of the Jin Dynasty, because they knew that the Mongols would not let go of the Jin Dynasty, and they would definitely attack the Jin Dynasty.
The rulers of the Jin Dynasty, in order to deal with the Mongol attack, made a lot of preparations, and they wanted to use their military strength to resist the Mongol attack.
However, in the end, the Jin Dynasty did not resist the Mongol attack, and they were defeated by the Mongols, and in this war, the Jin Dynasty suffered very heavy losses, and almost all of the land was occupied by the Mongols.
In this case, the Jin Dynasty had no ability to resist, they could only accept their fate, and the fate of the Jin Dynasty was to be wiped out by the Mongols.
The rise of the Mongols
Although the Mongols were destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, in fact, they did not want to defeat the Jin Dynasty and replace it at the beginning.
At the beginning, the Mongols were only a relatively weak tribe, they did not pose any threat to the Jin Dynasty, and they still needed some help from the Jin Dynasty.
However, because the rulers of the Jin Dynasty had a very serious encroachment on the Mongols, the Mongols would fight back against the Jin Dynasty.
A Mongol leader named Temujin, at this time, led the Mongols and began an attack on the Jin dynasty.
For some time after that, Temujin, along with his Mongol army, was almost invincible, defeating not only the Jin dynasty, but also many other countries.
Eventually, he succeeded in unifying the entire Mongolian Plateau and establishing the Great Mongol Empire, which for some time after that began a full-scale offensive against the Jin Dynasty.
Although the Jin Dynasty also had some resistance, they did not have the ability to resist the Mongols because there were already very big problems inside.
In the end, the Jin Dynasty was occupied by the Mongols, and Aizong Wanyan Shouxu was martyred, which also officially announced the end of the Jin Dynasty.
