The demise of the Jin Dynasty was simply a nightmare for those members of the royal family, especially the women in the harem. But this happened to fulfill a sentence: "The way of heaven is easy to reincarnate, no one will be spared by heaven." Yes, this sentence could not be more suitable for Jin Chao.

In 1234 AD, the Jin Dynasty fell in Caizhou (now Zaoyang, Hubei) under the attack of Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. Then the Mongols abducted the royal family members of the Jin Dynasty and their concubines and took them to Helin, the capital of the Mongol Empire at that time. On the way north, the Mongolian commander Subotai ordered his men to pick out all the male members of the royal family and kill them one by one. As for the treatment of those concubines, we can imagine that in the hands of the barbaric and uncivilized Mongols, they not only suffered humiliation, but also worried about their lives.
I don’t know if Jin Taizong had any knowledge, would he also have a guilty conscience after seeing the tragic scene of Jin Kingdom ’s demise and being angry at his descendants’ failure to live up to expectations? After all, the reason why the Jin Dynasty ended so miserably was because he had planted the seeds for all these things to happen. You must know that this is how Jin Taizong destroyed the Northern Song :
In 1127 AD, during the reign of Jin Taizong, Jin soldiers broke through the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty Bianliang , and the Supreme Emperor Song Huizong and the emperor Song Qinzong became prisoners, together with the palace The concubines and princesses were taken captive to the north. However, on the way north, the women in the harem became the targets of insults by the Jin soldiers and were ravaged, known in history as "the shame of Jingkang".

The heinous crimes the Jinren did to the Han people in the "Jingkang Shame" were unexpectedly copied by the Mongols only 107 years later and used on themselves. This has to be said to be extremely great. irony. Historical reincarnations often have striking similarities. Mongolia also staged a version of the "Jingkang Shame" against the Jin Dynasty. So how miserable was the fall of the Jin Dynasty?
After Tasting Picture
When talking about the tragic situation of the Jin Dynasty, it is natural that we cannot do without the painting "After Tasting Picture". According to legend, this painting is a famous painting from the late Southern Song Dynasty. It depicts the scene when the Southern Song Dynasty helped Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty. Meng Gong, the Southern Song Dynasty general, insulted the Queen of the Jin Dynasty:
There is also the "After Tasting Picture" by the Song Dynasty: a woman The naked body was carried by several people, all of whom were wearing armor and carrying knives. Some of them bit their lips and breasts, threw their arms, and some even held their feet in their mouths. Only the general showed his appearance and approached him, and even more people couldn't stop him. There were also people chasing each other wearing silk shoes and socks, totaling nineteen people.
To put it simply, the Queen of the Jin Dynasty was insulted by many Song soldiers, and the leading general was suspected to be Meng Gong. Why Meng Gong? It turns out that in 1234 AD, the Southern Song Dynasty army led by Meng Gong captured Bianjing (today's Luoyang, Henan). After that, he led his soldiers to break into the Jin Palace and humiliated the concubines of Jin Aizong in order to avenge the Jin people's abuse of the concubines and princesses of the second emperor Huiqin a hundred years ago.

So is this "Picture After Tasting" a real event in history? The historical records about the time when the Jin Dynasty broke through the city say this:
"History of the Jin Dynasty·Eighteenth Anniversary·Aizong II" records: " Gengzi went to Nanjing to say goodbye to the queen mother, empress, and concubines. So sad."
In other words, in official history, when Jin Aizong escaped, he did not take any female relatives with him. Before he left, he said goodbye to the Queen Mother, Queen, and concubines. Therefore, the Queen of the Jin Dynasty was still in Bianjing when she destroyed the city. And according to other official historical documents, it can also be seen that the queen should be in the capital when the city was destroyed.
"History of the Jin Dynasty·Biographies 2·Concubines": "Not long after, the city was broken and moved northward, and its end was unknown."
In other words, in the official history, these concubines of the Jin Dynasty did not flee with the emperor, but did not know their end. Then there is indeed the possibility that the queen was insulted by the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty in the capital. After all, the emperor ran away and left a bunch of women in the palace. It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to her.
Of course, there is also a possibility that "Picture after Tasting" was just an idea of ​​the people of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, because after all, the male protagonist in the painting was Meng Gong, a famous anti-Mongolian general.
Who is Meng Gong? He was born into a family of military generals. His great-grandfather Meng An and grandfather Meng Lin were both generals of Yue Fei. As a member of Yuejiajun , I feel a deep sense of pride.Moreover, according to records, Meng Gong showed outstanding military talents since he was a child, so he became an excellent military strategist and commander as an adult. During the later Mongolian attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, he single-handedly controlled two-thirds of the battles on the Southern Song Dynasty's front lines, winning more than he lost. Not only was he brave and good at fighting, he was also an executor of Confucianism . He once built a college and vigorously promoted Confucianism.
Therefore, Meng Gong is a very good general. It is really hard to say whether he insulted the Queen. But I personally think that such a person who values ​​Confucianism would not do such a ridiculous thing and have someone draw it. Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty's humiliation of the Jin Dynasty described in "The Picture of Taste the Queen" lacks factual basis and may not be a historical fact.

Through this painting, we can still see how strong the people of the Southern Song Dynasty hated the Jin army. Therefore, it is understandable that the insults suffered by Jingkang in the second year of Jingkang should be returned as they were. But no matter what, the fate of women in the aftermath of the Jin Dynasty is definitely worse than what is depicted in "After Tasting Pictures", because Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom are feuding, and the Jin Dynasty even punished the Mongols to death before.
Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty are on the same road as enemies.
After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe of the Jin Dynasty was itself a nomadic tribe, and they knew the horror of the nomads. It can be said that anywhere a war horse can reach is the back garden of the nomads. Moreover, at that time, Mongolian tribes were slowly beginning to rise on the grasslands. Therefore, the Jin people maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Mongols, and formulated a very inhumane and cruel "reduction policy."
's so-called "reduction" means regularly sending troops to clean up various Mongolian tribes, massacring the population of Mongolian plateau , and weakening the power of the Mongols, so that the Jin Kingdom can sit back and relax. Basically every one or three years, the Jin sharpened their swords against the Mongols, gave up all the Mongolian property, killed all the young Mongolians, and captured all the Mongolian children and turned them into slaves.
For example, Genghis Khan Temujin's ancestor was crucified on a wooden donkey, which made him full of motivation for revenge against the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the "reduction policy" of the Jin Dynasty not only did not reduce the power of the Mongols, but although it suffered a heavy blow to the Mongols, it also led to very serious ethnic hatred. On the contrary, it secretly twisted the Mongolian tribe into one rope.

Therefore, after Genghis Khan established the Mongol Empire, he always wanted to destroy the Jin Dynasty. In February 1211 AD, Genghis Khan swore an oath at the Kerulun River. Genghis Khan prayed to heaven, asked for divine help, and vowed to avenge his ancestors who were killed by Jin. Then he selected 3,000 elite cavalry to go south and defeated the Jin soldiers. . In 1227 AD, Genghis Khan died of illness, and his third son Wo Kuotai succeeded to the throne. He followed his father's last words and adopted the strategy of uniting with the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty. Two years later, the Mongolian army divided into three groups and marched southward.
In March 1132, general Subutai attacked Bianjing, the capital of the Jin Dynasty. The Mongols adopted a siege strategy and besieged the city for several months. The food in Bianjing city was exhausted. Coupled with the epidemic, nearly half of the more than 2 million people in the city died. According to records at the time, the tragedy in the city was: "Some people ate their wives, and all the skins and utensils were boiled." "To satisfy hunger" can be described as hell on earth. At the end of the year, Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu escaped from Bianjing.
In April of the second year, the defender Cui Lixian surrendered to the city. After Subutai entered the city, the Mongolian soldiers burned, killed, and looted, killing all the close relatives of the Jin Dynasty, and escorted the concubines and treasures in the palace to the north. Wo Kuotai was sweating profusely. Finally, in the first month of 1234, Mongolian cavalry captured Caizhou. From this moment on, the Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed.
Those members of the Jin Dynasty royal family who were escorted to the north. During the escort, the commander-in-chief Subotai ordered all the men to be kicked off the car, lined up and beheaded one by one, and the remaining Jurchen nobles became Mongols. The slave playthings were even worse than the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Just how tragic the demise of the Jin Dynasty was, can be summed up in one sentence: all the male members of the Jin Dynasty royal family were brutally slaughtered, and the women were all taken to the north by the Mongols. The consequences can be imagined.
