Destroy of the Song Dynasty Can Zhang Hongfan be considered a traitor? Before we talk about this issue, we must first know what a traitor is. A traitor in a narrow sense must first be a Han nationality, and then betrayed the regime and country dominated by Han nationality . Traitors in a broad sense include all ethnic groups. For example, today's 56 ethnic groups have all nationalities. If someone betrays the country, they are also called "traitors".
Zhang Hongfan
Zhang Hongfan was born in Zhuozhou, Hebei. When he was born, Jin Kingdom had been destroyed for 4 years. In the historical environment at that time, his nationality was Mongolia, and he could only be regarded as a Han nationality in Mongolian . It was normal to serve Mongolia. He was born in Mongolia and grew up in Mongolia. He ate Mongolian food and received Mongolian education since he was a child. What feelings can he have for the court of the Southern Song Dynasty?

Hebei Zhuozhou This place was ceded by Shi Jingtang to the north . The Han people in that place were first Han , and later Jintang , and the Song Dynasty never recovered it. Even if he is a Han nationality, he cannot be said to be a traitor.
Let’s talk about Zhang Hongfan’s father, his father Zhang Rou , was a local tyrant under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. When his father was born, it had been more than 60 years since Jingkang's change . How could he feel about the Northern Song Dynasty regime? His father is a Jin Dynasty native! Moreover, when Qin Hui controlled the government, the Southern Song regime also introduced the national policy of "southern people return to the south, northern people return to the north", which means that the Han people who stayed in the hometown of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song court no longer considered them to be Song people, let alone the farther place of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures . Do you still expect him to be born in the Jin Dynasty and grow up in the Jin Dynasty and have Da Song ?
Qin Hui
Zhang Rou once formed a team to fight against Mongolia, but later she was defeated and captured, surrendered to Mongolia and became an official of the Mongolian . Rather than saying that Zhang Hongfan was a traitor, his father was a "golden traitor", after all, he had served two countries.
Just like our ethnic minorities today, there is a Korean ethnic group called Korean ethnic group . In the northeast and beyond, there are actually many Korean ethnic groups living in our country. Our country has Korean ethnic groups, and Russia actually has Korean ethnic groups. Both Koreans have different ideology in different countries. For example, if you ask the Korean people in our country, do you love South Korea or North Korea or China? He will definitely love China. In 1963, Chinese Korean athlete Luo Zhihuan won the men's 1500m championship and broke the men's all-around world record, and was the first torchbearer in the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Korean athletes in our country helped China win a gold medal, beating South Korea and North Korea athletes. Can you say he is a "North Korean raper"? It must be inappropriate. He is the hero of us Chinese, right? North Korea and South Korea won’t say that he is a “North Korean raper”, right?
Luo Zhihuan
When I was in graduate school, there was a Korean classmate from Vladivostok, Russia. His Korean language proficiency was basically the first volume of standard Korean. My most influence was that he used his left hand to write. I once had dinner with this guy and two Korean female classmates. This guy kept talking about how we Russia was. In his consciousness, he had no relationship with North Korea, South Korea, and China. He was a real Russian. Their place was cut off when they were in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, he told me that their family had been Russian for more than 150 years, and his parents were both Koreans and could not speak Korean at all.
Vladivostok
At that time, I thought to myself, in fact, you should have been a Chinese, but he didn't know it himself, so he thought their family was a Korean before. Although this attitude may seem a bit disappointing, in fact, this exists objectively. I think it is enough to "be born here, grow up here, be loyal to this". No matter which country it is, it is understandable.
Zhang Hongfan performed outstandingly in several key battles in the process of destroying the Song Dynasty, such as Battle of Xiangyang , Battle of Jiaoshan, and Battle of Yashan. After destroying the Song Dynasty, he also wrote that "The Song Dynasty General Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here." This made the Han compatriots very angry and hurt the feelings of the Han people, so they labeled Zhang Hongfan as a traitor. But in fact, after we understand history, you will find that it is indeed not appropriate to say that Zhang Hongfan is a traitor. He is just an excellent general in Mongolia. Of course, as the enemy, you hate him and hate him. This is no problem. But it is indeed inappropriate to put the traitor on him.
Wang Jingwei
If you want to talk about a real traitor, I think it is Wu Sangui Wang Jingwei and other people, of course, including Qin Hui, who are completely traitors and will always be nailed to the pillar of shame.
