Throughout the ages, the winner has always been the king, and the loser has always been the thief. The winner of the war can whitewash Taiping and cover up his crimes, such as Tang Wang Li Shimin .
According to legend, he killed his father and brother, and mutilated his siblings. The "Xuanwumen Incident" is talking about Li Shimin. But when the world thinks of tyrants, it is more Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
Some people say that the reason why Qin Shihuang's atrocities spread more is because the Qin Dynasty existed for too short a period of ten years, and there was no time to cover up the crimes in the history books.
But no matter the winner or the loser, the war has always brought suffering to the people, and even worse, the shame of the country.
is like the in the words of General Yue Fei, "Jingkang is ashamed, it still hasn't snowed, the courtiers hate it, when will it be destroyed" , it is talking about a national disaster and a national humiliation - Jingkang's shame.
Precursor of Jingkang's trouble
To talk about Jingkang's trouble, we must first mention the background of the Northern Song Dynasty. When was in the midst of internal and external troubles of the country, the people were struggling, and the government was in chaos. The rise of
foreign races, the famous Jurchen at that time. The Jurchens are active in the current northeast and Heilongjiang areas. Because they are nomads, they have always been brave and good at fighting, and their troops are strong and strong.
The Jurchen family was officially founded in Song Zhenghe five years ago. The leader, Aguda, ascended the throne. After Jin won Liao, the relationship with Song has always been very delicate.
On the one hand, Song was once the main force in suppressing the Liao army and played an important role in balancing the forces of the three parties. On the other hand, the vast land and resources were also coveted by the Jin Dynasty.
After concluding an alliance with the Jin Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty sent troops to attack Liao.However, due to the corruption of the Song Dynasty , the combat effectiveness of the army was very low, and it was far from being the opponent of the Liao army. Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked Liaoning Nanjing twice and were defeated by the Liao defenders. In the end, it was captured by the Jin army.
finally agreed that Song should pay an additional 1 million yuan in addition to the normal taxes paid to the Jin Dynasty every year, which made a big hole that was difficult to fill in the already insufficient treasury. During the
period, many generals objected to continuing to cede territory and compensation, but the corrupt and incompetent monarch of the Song Dynasty has long been powerless and has lost the fighting spirit to resist.
The domestic regime was chaotic, the Song Dynasty respected the civil and military, and the rulers were incompetent.
After the five-year declaration of peace, Zhang Jue, a traitor of the Jin Dynasty, fled to Yanshan Mansion in the Song Dynasty. Even if he was finally handed over, this so-called "private treason" incident later became an excuse for the Jin Dynasty to invade south.
The tragedy of Jingkang
When Song Huizong was in power, the Wanyan family of the Jin Dynasty used Zhang Jue as the reason to attack the Song Dynasty. During the period, it experienced two sieges, and the war situation was at the intersection of peace and war.
When the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty, the second battle of Kaifeng began. Compared with the first time, the Kaifeng siege battle lacked reinforcements this time, and the golden army had previous experience and blocked the road to the king early.
and a large number of troops have been added to . Due to the siege, the troops have been continuously supplemented. Compared with the first time, when besieged the city for the second time, the strength of the Jin army has exceeded 150,000 people, and has doubled and a half more than the first siege.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin army broke the city, Bianjing fell, Song Huizong, Qinzong two emperors were captured. The Jin Dynasty ordered the abolition of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong , letting them take off their dragon robes and completely become commoners.
Due to the defeat of the Song Army, not only suffered from the war, but even the royal family and nobles became the captives of the Jin Army, and became prisoners.
The captives will not only be beaten like livestock, but they will also be locked in cages for others to watch. Men have to do all kinds of rough work.
and women have to accept many non-human treatment.
"The Sheep Raising Ceremony" and The shame of the traitor
According to historical records, had many concubines or women from aristocratic families on the way to the Jin Kingdom, but they were killed because they refused to be insulted by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. After the country, very few women survived.
is like the biological mother of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou . She was 47 years old when she was captured, but she still gave birth to two children for the Jin. It is conceivable that those captured women suffered How much inhuman treatment. It was not the most tragic that
was killed on the road. What the women didn't expect was that when arrived in the Golden Kingdom, there was a greater shame waiting for them.
In the traditional customs of Jurchens, there is a ceremony called "Lamb Ritual". The reason why the ceremony is called the "Sheep Raising Ceremony" is to ask the prisoners of war to be led by golden men like sheep to show their docility.
At the same time, these "sheep" were required to take off their clothes. The only clothing covering their bodies was a piece of raw sheepskin, and a rope was placed around their necks, which was more like a state of livestock.
In fact, the humiliation suffered in the "Sheep-Lefting Ceremony" was just the beginning. What really destroyed the spiritual world of women in the Northern Song Dynasty, was an punishment called "golden bath".
This punishment is to let a woman bathe naked. During the process of bathing, she must not only be watched by other men, but also be favored by all kinds of men at any time.
This is undoubtedly a blatant insult to a woman who has accepted the idea of female morality in the Northern Song Dynasty since she was a child. You must know that the etiquette and customs of the Song Dynasty were very strict at that time, and women not only required graceful posture, but also had a sense of shame, from the beginning to the end.
The Jin Dynasty's approach is undoubtedly beating their moral bottom line, Song Qinzong's Queen Zhu Lian, because he couldn't bear such humiliation, chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river and ended his own life.
and the concubines and s who are with them have long been numb. For them, is no longer a beautiful word to live, and death may be a relief instead.
The practice of Empress Zhu is not only to protect her own reputation, but also to resist the perpetrators who violated her homeland and insulted her relatives.
is not only a physical insult brought about by the "sheep raising ceremony", Jingkang's shame also exposes the traitorous minister's betrayal of the country.
This traitor is the famous "villain" Qin Hui in history. After Qin Hui was captured in "Jingkang's Difficulty", he did not make his ambitions clear with death like other compatriots, but instead lived in secret.
In the end, under the coercion and inducement of the golden man, became a traitor to the country and promised to work for the golden man. After the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty was stabilized, he was sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty by Jin Guo under the guise of Song Huizong, and successfully concealed everyone's own mutiny.
The cunning Qin Hui returned to the Southern Song Dynasty with his own selfishness. People are familiar with what happened later. After returning to China, Qin Hui gradually gained the trust of Song Huizong.
not only disturbed the political situation, but also dominated the power, also bewitched the master, constantly slandering Yue Fei in Song Huizong's ear, causing the faint-hearted emperor to finally suspect loyal ministers, made Yue Fei end up in a wrongful death.
Concluding remarks
To sum up, the "Shame of Jingkang" brought people not only physical insults, but more serious spiritual insults and spiritual crushing. body, I want to see that they can't arouse the heart of resistance.
We must always keep in mind the shame of the country and the nation. and can not live up to the good life that the predecessors have worked hard to achieve, work hard and strive for self-improvement.
