At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the mediocre and decadent rule of the Southern Song Dynasty government, the Southern Song Dynasty could not escape the fate of being destroyed. The Mongolian army invaded wildly, and finally the land of the Southern Song Dynasty was occupied by the Mongolian army. The Southern Song Dynasty completely disappeared from history. The sad thing at this time is that in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, the emperor was actually an eight-year-old child. His life has only existed for a short period of eight years, which is a very tragic story. This really confirms the law of history, all the last emperors have very miserable fate. Then follow the article to learn about the story of the last emperor.
First of all, let’s talk about the overall environment at that time. It was at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Bing was Song Duzong’s third son. The emperor at that time was actually not him. It's his brother. At that time, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty was on the verge of destruction, and the entire court was shrouded in the shadow of the Mongolian army. From birth, Zhao Bing was unhappy. He could not live happily every day like ordinary emperor children, and enjoy a good childhood with his parents. From birth, he was accompanied by fear every day. Among them were the screams of his brothers in panic, and the panic expression of his mother, which left a great mark on his young heart. As time went by, and several years later, the Southern Song Palace was completely unstable. The Mongolian army had already attacked the capital area, and at this time the entire Southern Song royal family had all left the capital.
He was very painful on the way to escape. The Southern Song Dynasty imperial family had to worry about the chasing of Mongolian soldiers and the difficult and dangerous road ahead. In this way, the Southern Song imperial family fled to the Yashan area at that time. The local terrain in the Yashan area was very dangerous. It was an important military area for soldiers. After the Southern Song Dynasty arrived here, dozens of ships were built on the sea in this area. fleet. They connected these fleets with iron chains and placed the royal palace in the middle of these ships to form a floating fortress. The prince at the time was actually not Zhao Bing but his elder brother, but his elder brother drowned in an accident. There was no alternative. At that time, he was only six years old and had to inherit the throne. A six-year-old child was supposed to be coquettish in his mother's arms and playing in the mud, but now he is to be the emperor of the last days, the most dangerous profession.
He still doesn’t understand anything. He stays on the boat and plays like usual all day. At this time, he seems to have discovered the severe situation around him. , The smile on this child's face is getting less and less. It didn't take long for the Mongolian army to catch up with the remnant army of the Southern Song Dynasty and encircled the Yashan area. The Mongolian army is strong and the number is large. The weak Southern Song army is not their opponent at all. At this time, the Mongolian army wanted to burn all the ships of the Southern Song Dynasty by fire, but they did not expect that the Southern Song fleet was covered with mud, and the flames did not work at all.
This way, the Mongolian army will no longer work. There was no alternative, the Mongolian army had to resort to the direct offensive method again, and at the same time cut off the water source of the Southern Song army. The Southern Song army was hungry and thirsty and gradually lost its combat effectiveness. Lu Xiufu, who was in the imperial family, had discovered that the situation was not right. He cried and ran into the palace and said that now the Southern Song Dynasty has been completely finished, and asked your Majesty to die with me in the country. Zhao Bing began to cry. Lu Xiufu tied the treasure of Song State to himself and Zhao Bing, and the two jumped into the sea together.
In this way, Zhao Bing passed his short life. He has only been in this world for eight years. It is sad to think about it.
