The Great Song Dynasty was also a relatively famous dynasty in ancient China. But why did the Song Dynasty really divide into the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty? Most of the story readers know it. The famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei once had a passionate poem "Man Jiang Hong" in which there was a sentence that "Jing Kang's shame is still not snowy, and when will the courtiers hate be extinguished." This sentence mentions the shame of Jing Kang, let us analyze and analyze.

Ancient China has a long history, and in the long years, it has experienced countless wars and peace alternations, and has also experienced many dynastic changes. War is always unclear, it is possible that yesterday's winner, for what reason today, lost, become the fish on the board of others, the end is miserable, such as jinguo has faced such changes.

"The Change of Jingkang"

In August of the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, the national strength of the Jin State became stronger, so they had ambitions, and they used Zhang Jue's incident as a reason to send Jin Taizu's second son Guanyan Zongwang and Jin Dynasty Minister's eldest son Guanyan Zonghan to attack the Song Dynasty, and won many victories, until the Song Dynasty retreated and ended the battle. In the first year of Jing Kang, the Jin army once again went south and successfully besieged the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fenjing. However, this time on the offensive, they did not win.

By the time of Jing Kang's leap year in November, because of Guo Jing's mischief, Emperor Huizong of Song, Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song were captured. In February of the second year of Jing Kang, the Northern Song Dynasty fell, and Emperor Taizong of Jin deposed Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song and demoted them to shuren, and members of the Zhao and Song royal families were taken captive by Jin bing to become slaves and prostitutes, which is the famous "Change of Jingkang" in history and the shame in the history of the Song Dynasty. This humiliation lasted for many years, but the Song Dynasty did not die. The Southern Song Dynasty gradually developed and became stronger, and the economically developed national strength gradually grew. The revenge for the Golden Kingdom is gradually maturing, and the shame of revenge jing kang is also waiting for the opportunity.

The demise of the Golden Kingdom

Feng Shui took turns, and more than a hundred years later, the Jin Dynasty lost its former glory, and the Southern Song Dynasty court also began its own journey of revenge, and the viciousness of its means was no less than that of the "shame of Jingkang" at that time.

The Golden State is a country suitable for aggression and attack, but not suitable for development. When they established the Jin Dynasty, they were afraid of the invasion of the Mongols, so they adopted a bloody policy of reducing the number of Mongols, killing men when they saw them, laying a hidden danger for the subsequent destruction of the country.

When the Jin kingdom reached the king of Wei Shao, its strength was greatly reduced, and the Mongols rose up because of genghis Khan's leadership and successfully took revenge by using the "Battle of Wild Fox Ridge". In the first year of Zhining, Hu Shahu launched a coup d'état, killed the Jin Emperor Yan Yongji, and proclaimed Yan Xun emperor, known in history as "Jin Xuanzong". Then, Jin Guo went down the path of repeated defeats.

Interestingly, after the Mongols planted their heels, the Jin monarch did not actively seek allies, but instead believed that the Southern Song Was weak and deceitful, so he began to attack the Southern Song in an attempt to gain a certain amount of territory from the hands of the Southern Song.

It was very unfortunate that the Southern Song Dynasty at this time was stronger than the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, so the Southern Song general Meng Jue led an army to easily defeat the Jin army, and took advantage of the victory to pursue, forming a north-south attack with the Mongols, triggering the "Battle of Caizhou", and the Jin Emperor also hanged himself because of the destruction of the city. After the collapse of the country, the Song and Mongolian armies burned and plundered the land of the Jin Dynasty, and did nothing wrong, so that the Jurchens living in Han China at that time were reduced from 7 million to 100,000, almost reaching the point of extinction.

Obviously, at this time, the Song and Mongolian coalition forces were very cruel and despised by people. However, due to history, they can be said to hate the Golden Kingdom to the bone, so there are some reasons.

It can only be said that the seeds of hatred planted by Jin Guo in the past have finally sprouted. And this truth also tells us that no matter when, being kind to people is a better choice after all. At the very least, you can guarantee that in your difficult times, not too many people will fall into the well or take advantage of the fire.

The contest between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty

Although the Song Dynasty experienced the jingkang revolution, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. However, after a hundred years of recuperation, it finally achieved a reversal, and the Southern Song Dynasty killed it again, and almost wiped out the Jin Dynasty. Although the Song Dynasty repaid the hatred of the Jin Dynasty many years ago, it could not resist the attack of the Mongol army in the end. The trajectory of history is not based on human love and hatred, but is determined by objective development and strength. But the struggle between the Song Dynasty and the Golden Kingdom is a wonderful history.
