1224, Jin Xuanzong Wanyan Xun passed away. In the same year, his son Wanyan Shouxu ascended the throne, and he was the Jin Aizong .
Although Jin Aizong is not the master of talent and strategy, he is not a foolish person.
Not long after he ascended the throne, he carried out drastic reforms to the various evil policies of Jin Xuanzong.
Internally, Jin Aizong punished the traitor, deposed mediocre officials, and boldly appointed generals such as Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Chen Monk . He also vigorously commended those who made contributions in the Anti-Mongol War, and emphasized that as long as the Jin generals who surrendered to Mongolia could abandon the darkness and turn to the light, they would not blame the court for their past and would be promoted to their official titles.
For the outside world, Jin Aizong changed the previous Jin Xuanzong's attack on Xixia and Southern Song , took the initiative to cease war, issued a list everywhere, informing the border military and civilians, saying that they would no longer go to war against Songxia from now on, and sent people to Xixia to make peace, hoping to fight against Mongolia with Xixia.
Faced with the olive branch that Jin Aizong took the initiative to hand over, Xia Xianzong, who was also troubled by Mongolian invasion, Li Dewang quickly responded positively, signed an armistice agreement with Jin and became a brotherly country.
As a result, the Jin Kingdom solved the dilemma of being attacked in the west.
resolved the dispute with Xixia, and Jin Aizong immediately sent someone to Lin'an to seek peace.
However, this time, the Southern Song Dynasty court, which has always been "peace-loving", was very abnormal. Neither reject nor agree. Instead, I chose to wait and see.
State chart of Jin Aizong ascended the throne
Jin seeks peace, and the Southern Song Dynasty chooses to wait and see? This is not the usual style of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. Did the sun come out from the west? Of course not.
In fact, there is a reason for the abnormal behavior of the Southern Song Dynasty this time.
" Kaixi Northern Expedition " failed, Song Jin signed " Jiading Peace and Proposal ".
According to the requirements of the agreement, the Southern Song Dynasty paid tribute to the Jin Kingdom, and the 1-year-old monies increased from 400,000 to 600,000 taels. In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty had to pay three million taels of military reward silver to the Jin Kingdom in one lump sum (actually the compensation).
is not mentioned in the routine operation of paying tribute. A compensation of three million is a considerable burden.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty was rich, the tax was not blown by the strong wind. The Jin Dynasty's lion spoke so loudly naturally made the Southern Song Dynasty feel indignant.
So, when I learned that the Mongolian and Jin Dynasties had started the war and the Mongolian army defeated the Jin army in at the Battle of Yehuling , the mainstream attitude in the Southern Song Dynasty was to shout that it was a good fight!
The Jin people bullied us Song people for many years, and now there is someone who can cure those hateful guys.
Of course, with the relocation of the capital to Kaifeng in May 1214, the Jin Xuanzong moved the capital to Kaifeng, and the Jin army was defeated thousands of miles away, and the Mongolian army advanced straight in. The scene of the Jin Kingdom swallowing Liao and destroying Song emerged in front of many people. Different voices immediately appeared within the Southern Song Dynasty.
For example, a minister named Qiao Xingjian at that time believed that Song Jin now had a relationship of losing his lips and a broken family. Although the two families had a feud before, the Jurchens had been in power for decades and have now become sinicized. They believe in Confucius, read the Six Classics, and have a similar appearance to China. The Mongolians ate raw meat and drank blood, and the chickens and dogs were left wherever they went, and the city was razed to the ground, which was terrible. If the Song Dynasty did not want to repeat the same mistake, it should give the Jin Kingdom a blood transfusion to help the Jin Kingdom fight against Mongolia.
Xu Yinglong, who was the Minister of Works at the time, also said with concern: If the Jin Dynasty perishes, the Mongols will inevitably be a big problem.
Theoretically, Qiao Xingjian and Xu Yinglong's claims and concerns are very wise.
This is the same as the opposition raised by Deng Xunwu when Song Huizong advocated the attack on Liao: is better than being neighbors with strong Jin? We should help the weak and suppress the strong, rather than taking advantage of others' dangers.
But the problem is, theory is theory.
What is wise in theory does not necessarily work in reality.
On the one hand, the Song and Jin dynasties have accumulated too deep resentment. The Jin Dynasty's long-term oppression of the Song Dynasty made it difficult for the Song Dynasty people to change their ideas for a while.
Although Qiao Xingjian and Xu Yinglong's claims are foresight, they do not conform to public opinion.At that time, many people besieged them, and the Imperial College students even wrote to the court, asking them to behead them to thank the world!
Due to this incident, no one in the court dared to speak nonsense anymore. Song Ningzong After careful consideration, he finally adopted Zhendexiu's suggestion: stop tribute every year and watch the tiger fight in the mountains.
On the other hand, it was impossible for the Jin Kingdom to truly join forces with the Southern Song Dynasty.
Because just after the Song Dynasty stopped tribute, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin used this as an excuse to send troops to attack Song.
In the eyes of the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty stopped tribute, and the Jin Dynasty could be discussed. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was determined not to give money, it was due to its strength. After all, the Jin Kingdom was beaten to this way by Mongolia. Now it should be that the Jin Kingdom was humble and asked for help from the Song Dynasty, rather than being arrogant to the Song Dynasty as before and just overturned the table if it was disagreement.
Jin Xuanzong's move shows that the Jin Kingdom had never had the sincerity to connect with the Song Dynasty, but just regarded the Song Dynasty as an ATM and a safe. Once the situation is wrong, be ready to occupy the nest at any time.
So, it was theoretically wise to join forces with the Song and Jin dynasties to fight against Mongolia, but it didn't work at all at that time.
Of course, after the death of Jin Xuanzong, Jin Aizong, who ascended the throne, was a wise man. He was very sincere. repeatedly ordered the border generals to invade the Southern Song Dynasty and tried their best to ease the conflict between Song and Jin.
But now there are two very realistic problems that no one can solve.
First, why did the Southern Song Dynasty trust Jin Aizong? Who can guarantee that Jin Aizong is not making a show?
Second, Song and Jin alliance is easy to say, but it is difficult to actually operate.
For example, how many soldiers each side will send? How many obligations do each bear? How to clarify these issues?
If these problems are not resolved, everyone feels that they are at a disadvantage. How can the two companies form an alliance?
So, when Jin Aizong took the initiative to seek peace, the Southern Song Dynasty's attitude was to listen to his words and observe his actions, and not make an official response for the time being.
Unable to get the support of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Aizong had no choice but to join forces with Xixia to fight against Mongolia.
However, shortly after Jin Xia signed the alliance, Genghis Khan led an army of 100,000 to attack Xixia.
In this battle, Xixia was destroyed by Mongolia. The Jin army sent troops to reinforce the Western Xia, but was also severely damaged by the Mongolian army.
Without the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty did not help. The Jin Dynasty could only resist the Mongolian army in a corner of Henan and Guanzhong.
If the Jin emperor was still the foolish Jin Xuanzong at this time, the Jin Kingdom would definitely be in short order.
1227 situation chart
However, fortunately, the current emperor is Jin Aizong. The previous reforms of Jin Aizong have now also worked. In 1228, with the remaining power of destroying the Western Xia, the Mongolian general Chi Laowen led 8,000 elite cavalry to the south, besieged Qingyang , and then rushed straight to Dachangyuan (located in Ning County, Gansu).
The Jin general Yila Pua, who was stationed in Binzhou, was ordered to go to meet the enemy.
Before the war started, Yila Pua asked the generals: Who would you like to be a striker?
Those present knew that going to be the same as dying, so no one dared to ask for a fight for the moment.
Seeing that everyone dared not go, Wanyan Monk Chen responded, put on his horse in armor, and took the four hundred Zhongxiao Army straight to the enemy formation without looking back.
Perhaps, even the head coach Yila Pua thought that this battle would not be won. Four hundred people were to die, and four thousand people were to die. Since it is useless for many people to go, it is better to sacrifice Wanyan Monk Chen and let him try the details of the Mongolian army.
However, the result of this battle surprised everyone.
After Wanyan Chen encountered the Mongolian army, he fought bravely and moved forward bravely. The Zhongxiao Army under his command were all not afraid of life and death and fought bravely to fight the enemy. In the end, Monk Wanyan Chen led 400 Zhongxiao Army to defeat 8,000 Mongolian cavalry with his courage to fear life and death and superb cavalry skills.
After the war, the news spread and the Jin Kingdom was unprecedentedly excited. Chi Laowen is as famous as Mu Huali, Borshu and Borhu. He is known as the "Four Great Masters" of Mongolia. He inherits the title of " Dalahan " and enjoys the privilege of impunity for nine crimes. Faced with such an opponent, Monk Wanyan Chen actually won, and he won with less. How could this not be exciting?
So for a moment, in addition to the reputation of Monk Wanyan Chen, he was promoted to multiple levels and was appointed by Jin Aizong as the general of Dingyuan and the judge of Pingliang Prefecture, and was hereditary.
Of course, this battle is nothing to Mongolia.
At this time, the Mongolian Khanate, the Mongolian army, combined with Seme people and other ethnic groups, was as high as hundreds of thousands. Losing tens of thousands of people is nothing to Mongolia.
And, at this time, the Mongolian headquarters also had more important things and had no time to deal with the Jin Kingdom.
What important thing is
? Recommend the new Khan. Before his death, Genghis Khan appointed his third son Ogedei to inherit the Khan throne.
However, after Genghis Khan's death, his fourth son Tolei was dissatisfied and competed for the Khan throne with his brother Ogedei. In addition, Mongolia still implemented the tribal council system at that time, and Torre had a great influence among the Mongolian nobles, which led to Ogedei's failure to succeed to the throne due to Genghis Khan's last order. The Mongolian Khan throne was also vacant for two years.
The Mongols are very busy and will not fight for the time being, and the Jin Dynasty cannot be idle either. Taking advantage of this empty window, Jin Aizong continued to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty while preparing for war.
1229, Jin Aizong ordered the Song army captured during the previous invasion of the Song Dynasty to be released to the Song territory.
Seeing that Jin Aizong was indeed sincere in peacekeeping, the Southern Song Dynasty gradually began to believe that the Jin Kingdom would no longer invade the south, and the calls for helping the Jin Kingdom fight against Mongolia were getting louder and louder.
However, just when the relationship between Song and Jin dynasties improved slightly, the dispute over the Khan throne in Mongolia ended.
1229, with the full support of his second brother Chagatai, Ogedei became the new Khan of the Mongolian Khanate through the Kurile National Congress.
In September of the same year, Ogedei mobilized troops and launched a full-scale war against the Jin Dynasty. Before the war started, Torre suggested that Ogedei implement the plan to destroy gold formulated by Genghis Khan during his lifetime. That is, the false road was in the Song Dynasty, through the Song Dynasty's Xingyuan Prefecture (Hanzhong, Shaanxi), Jinzhou (Ankang, Shaanxi), and Junzhou (Danjiangkou, Hubei), bypassing the closely guarded Tongguan and the Yellow River defense line, and directly attacked Kaifeng.
But in order to prove himself, Ogedei did not deploy as Genghis Khan's intentions during his lifetime. He thought that the Jin Kingdom was just a crumbling and broken house. He attacked directly from the front and kicked it down. Why did he do so much trouble?
So, under the leadership of Ogedei, the Mongolian army divided into two groups and launched a frontal attack on the Jin army's Guanhe defense line (Guan refers to Tongguan, and the river refers to the Yellow River).
Two Mongolian troops, one of which was led by Shi Tianze , raided Weizhou (Ji County, Henan) north of the Yellow River, attracting the main force of the Jin army stationed in Tongguan to reinforce to Kaifeng.
Another route was personally led by Ogedei, and planned to cross the Yellow River to take over Guanzhong when the main force of the Jin army was attracted to Kaifeng.
Weizhou is the northern gate of Kaifeng. If Weizhou is not protected, Kaifeng will not be able to defend it.
Faced with the Mongolian army's besieged, Jin Aizong had no choice but to send Wanyan Heda to lead 100,000 troops to rescue.
After the Jin army arrived near Weizhou, Monk Wanyan Chen took the initiative to fight again and led three thousand Zhongxiao Army to launch a raid on the Mongolian army.
This time, like the previous Battle of Dachangyuan, the Mongolian army had a force of more than ten times that of the Jin army.
However, Wanyan Chen once again defeated the Mongolian army with less, causing chaos. Seeing that Shi Tianze could not defeat him, he had to order his retreat.
learned that the siege of Weizhou had failed. At this time, Ogedei, who was commanding his troops to siege Chang'an , immediately changed the direction of the attack and launched a strong attack on Tongguan.
However, the Jin army's fortifications in Tongguan were very strong. The Mongolian army sieges for two months but never conquered Tongguan.
repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy losses. The dusty Ogedei transferred the general from the Mongolian headquarters, Subutai, and ordered him to lead 40,000 troops (actually only 20,000 people), and opened a small path from today's Shangluo, Shaanxi, and walked around behind Tongguan.
learned about the movements of the Mongolian army. Wanyan Heda ordered Wanyan Chen to be the pioneer and general Fan Ze as successor to intercept.
This battle is called the "Battle of Returning to the Valley".The actual force of speed-butt is about 20,000, while the force of Wanyan Chen and Fan Ze is only 10,000. In terms of military strength, the Mongolian army had an advantage.
, and Subutai is still a famous Mongolian general.
During Genghis Khan's expedition, Subutai defeated the 80,000 Ross coalition forces with less than 30,000 people in the " Battle of the Calega River ", and killed more than 40,000 coalition forces. It also includes six princes and princes of the Ross coalition and more than seventy nobles.
0 The troops are not advantageous, and the opponent is still a famous general. Monk Wanyan Chen is in danger this time.
However, the miracle happened again. After the encounter between the Mongolian and Jin armies, Wanyan Chen commanded a thousand Zhongxiao Army to first attack the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army is very powerful on the plains, but is not good at fighting in the mountains. Faced with the Jin army's raid, the Mongolian army's formation was in chaos.
Of course, the title of Subutai is not a praising. He quickly stabilized the morale of the army and the command headquarters surrounded Monk Wanyan and Chen.
But just as the Mongolian army was about to encircle Monk Wanyan Chen, the 10,000 Jin army led by Fan Ze arrived at the battlefield.
Facing the sudden outbreak of the Jin army, the Mongolian army that had just stabilized, immediately became disintegrated again.
Finally, under the internal and external attacks of Wanyan Chen and Fan Ze, the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties and was defeated and fled.
After the war, Subutai was scolded by Ogedei for losing. In a fit of anger, Su Butai turned to Torre's command.
It has become a new king and has been defeated repeatedly. The generals under his command have even changed jobs. At this time, Ogedei realized what it means not to listen to the old man and suffer a loss.
In desperation, Ogedei had to adjust his plan and implement the gold-killing plan formulated by Genghis Khan during his lifetime.
1131 In April, the Mongolian army besieged Fengxiang (Baoji, Shaanxi). The Jin army was short of troops and ineffective in rescue, and Fengxiang eventually fell.
Mongolian army captured Fengxiang and took Fengxiang. Ogedei immediately ordered to divide the Mongolian army into three teams:
Ogedei personally led the central army and attacked the central defense line in Guanhe.
Mongol general Ochen Nayan led the left army and set out from Jinan to attack the eastern defense line of Guanhe.
Toulei led the Right Army as the main attack team of this attack. He set out from Fengxiang, crossed Weishui , entered Dasanguan , and planned to take the Southern Song Dynasty to arrive at Hanzhong along Chencang Road, and then advance east along Hanshui and enter the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.
In September, the three Mongolian army completed combat preparations and officially launched an attack on the Jin Dynasty.
Faced with the attack of the Mongolian army, Jin Aizong shrank the front line, gave up Chang'an, and transferred all the Jin army in Guanzhong to Tongguan.
At the same time, Jin Aizong quickly drew 150,000 elite Jin troops from all over the country and sent them to Yushan area to block Toulei.
Seeing that the Yellow River defense line was empty, Ogedei immediately advanced and captured Hezhong Prefecture in one fell swoop, capturing the Jin general Wanyan Eke.
At the same time, Torre's West Route Army also conquered Dasanguan, Tianshui Army (Tianshui, Gansu), chengzhou (Chengxian, Gansu) and other places as planned, and troops were approached by Mianzhou (Luoyang, Shaanxi).
In order to borrow the opportunity, Torre sent people to Mianzhou to negotiate with the garrison Zhang Xuan.
The messenger told Zhang Xuan that you were bullied by the Jin Kingdom. Now we will help you revenge. You only need to make way out and we can avenge you.
At this time, the choice of the Southern Song Dynasty became the key to the demise of the Jin Kingdom.
If the Southern Song Dynasty chose to help Mongolia, the Jin Kingdom would be destroyed.
Fortunately, there was a sensible person in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhang Xuan saw through the Mongols' ambitions, slashed the Meng envoy with one knife, and decisively rejected Torre's request for acquiring the passage.
But unfortunately, the Southern Song Dynasty was too weak. After Zhang Xuan refused Torre's request for a divorce, Torre was furious and led his army to directly capture Mianzhou.
Then, Torre continued to attack south, plundered Sichuan, and killed nearly 100,000 ordinary people.
The atrocities of the Mongolian army scared the Southern Song court.
In desperation, the Song Dynasty had to seek peace and sent someone to guide the Mongolian army.
Finally, with the acquiescence of the Song Dynasty, Torei led his troops to Dengzhou according to the original marching route, completing the strategic siege of Kaifeng.
often say that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were extremely pedantic. Previously, , Jin defeated Liao , and suffered a great loss. Later, was defeated by the Jin , remember to eat and not beat.
In fact, the so-called Lianmeng Destroyed Gold does not exist at all.
Because the Southern Song Dynasty was too weak at that time, it was so weak that it didn't even have the right to refuse Mongolia. The Southern Song Dynasty was actually forcibly kidnapped by Mongolia to the chariot that destroyed the Jin Dynasty. If you don't want to agree, it won't work.
1232, seeing Kaifeng being surrounded, Jin Aizong took a desperate bet and transferred the 150,000 Jin troops who had previously sent to intercept Torre back to Kaifeng.
If these 150,000 Jin troops can successfully arrive at the city of Kaifeng, perhaps the Jin Kingdom can hold on for two more years.
But unfortunately, this last elite army of the Jin Kingdom was ambushed by the Mongolian army when it reached Sanfeng Mountain.
Before being ambushed, the Jin army was frequently attacked by the Mongolian army, and could not eat well and sleep well. The whole army was exhausted and had weak combat power.
Therefore, in this battle of Sanfeng Mountain, the Jin army was defeated, and most of them were annihilated. Only a small number of people retreated into the city of Junzhou (Henan Yuzhou) under the leadership of Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Chen.
However, after Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Chen led the remaining troops to break through to Junzhou City, they had no time to rest, and the Mongolian army chasing behind them immediately began to attack the city.
In the end, Junzhou City was captured, and Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Chen monk were both killed.
After the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain and the Battle of Junzhou, the main force of the Jin army was completely lost and all the good generals died, so they could no longer compete with the Mongolian army.
Learned the bad news, Jin Aizong, who was hiding in Kaifeng City, looked as if dead. He tried to commit suicide several times, but failed.
failed to commit suicide. Just like the previous Song Qinzong , Jin Aizong organized the resistance of military and civilians in Kaifeng City, and sent people to the Mongolian camp to negotiate.
Faced with Jin Aizong's request for peace, Ogedei said that he could negotiate peace, but asked Jin Aizong to go to the Mongolian headquarters to have a face-to-face conversation with him.
Jin Aizong thought to himself that he would die when he went, so he refused decisively.
When I saw that Jin Aizong still wanted to fight the beast, Ogedei ordered Subutai to launch a siege on Kaifeng.
Fortunately, Kaifeng is a strong city, and the Mongolian army has been unable to conquer it for a long time.
In addition, the plague was rampant at that time, and the Jin and Mongolian troops were both hit by the plague.
Therefore, after a period of siege, the Mongolian army took the initiative to remove the siege of Kaifeng.
The Mongolian army left, and Jin Aizong could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before the Mongolian army withdrew, the neighborhood of Kaifeng was killed without any chickens and dogs. Faced with the dilemma of exhausting ammunition and food, Jin Aizong finally made a difficult decision, gave up Kaifeng, and led half of the courtiers and tens of thousands of troops to other places.
Before leaving, someone asked Jin Aizong if he was sure to only bring ministers and army, but not relatives in the harem?
Jin Aizong said that the relatives in the harem cannot be taken away.
Because, he went out in the name of recruiting soldiers and buying horses, without bringing his family, and he could stabilize the people in Kaifeng City.
Secondly, taking a group of women will seriously slow down the marching speed. I am going to run for my life, not on a spring outing.
1 In December 232, after crying farewell to the Empress Dowager, Empress, Princess and other royal families, Jin Aizong fled to Weizhou with his army.
As mentioned earlier, Weizhou is north of the Yellow River. At this time, Shanxi and Hebei had fallen. Jin Aizong did not run south, but instead ran to the enemy-occupied areas, which was obviously a desperate attempt.
So, shortly after Jin Aizong arrived in Weizhou, he was soon surrounded by the Mongolian army.
After a fierce battle, most of the tens of thousands of troops accompanied were wiped out. Jin Aizong was desperate and had to cross the Yellow River with the remaining thousands of people and fled to Guide (Shangqiu, Henan).
learned that Jin Aizong gave up Kaifeng and ran away. On the one hand, Subutai sent troops to surround Kaifeng, while sending troops to chase Jin Aizong.
For the Jin Aizong, shortly after escaping to Guide, the two stable days had passed, and the two generals who accompanied him had conflicts with Ma Yong.
Later, the two men's troops fought in the city, Ma Yong and the daughter of Shizhan Lu Huan, the governor of Guide, were killed, and Pu Chaguannu became the final winner.
, and after fighting, Jin Aizong was brutally under house arrest by Pu Chaguannu and became a puppet.
In Kaifeng, when I heard about the miserable situation of Jin Aizong outside, the other half of the court officials who had stayed in the city were in panic.
Seeing the chaotic situation, Cui Li, who was then the marshal of the Jin Dynasty, launched a rebellion, killed officials who were dissatisfied with him, and took charge of the government.
Later, the Mongolian army surrounded Kaifeng, and Cui Li did not resist, but wore a dragon robe and took the guard of honor to go out of the city to pay homage to Subushi.
His purpose of meeting fast is very simple - he asked the Mongols to make him the "child emperor".
Facing his son who came to his door, Su Butai was confused for a moment. I thought to myself how could there be such a shameless person in this world.
However, Subutai quickly reacted. He decided to play Cui Li.
Not long after, Subutai set up a task list for Cui Li.
One of them is to burn down various defense equipment on Kaifeng City Wall .
The second is to plunder the wealth in the city.
The third is to search for the families of officials who followed the Jin Emperor to flee to the Mongolian army camp with gold, silver and treasures.
In order to become the "child emperor", Cui Li readily agreed to all the conditions.
After returning to Kaifeng, Cui Li first ordered the demolition of all city defense fortifications, and then ordered the soldiers to search from house to house, and sent all the beautiful women and gold and silver treasures to the Mongolian military camp.
Affected by this, Kaifeng City, which was originally ruined, immediately became a hell on earth. The people in the city were poisoned and their lives were worse than death.
After tossing the people, Cui Li also brought the Jin royal family left in Bianjing City.
1 In April 233, the empress dowager, queen, concubine, prince, princess, King Liang , King Jing and other royal families of the Jin Dynasty were sent to the Mongolian camp by Cui Li using 37 palace cars.
These Jin nobles knew their destiny, women would definitely become Mongolians toys, and men would inevitably become slaves. Therefore, on the way to Mobei, the group was crying with .
After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, anonymous people in the Southern Song Dynasty created a picture of "The Queen of Sings" by soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who exerted sexual revenge on the Queen of the Jin Kingdom.
is obviously nonsense.
When Kaifeng fell, the concubines of the Jin Kingdom were all caught in one fell swoop, and Jin Aizong did not establish an empress later. Where did the Southern Song Dynasty go to find the Queen of Jin to commit sexual revenge?
The scene where the senior leaders of the empire were caught in one go is simply a replay of Jingkang's change .
Is this retribution? This is retribution!
How did Wanyan abuse Zhao's back then, and now the Mongolians abuse Wanyan.
However, how many people are the Jurchens? To die by dying is one-tenth of the total population of the Jin Kingdom.
How many people are there in the royal family of the Jin Kingdom? Thousands of people were overwhelmed.
In fact, when the Central Plains falls into war, the most unlucky group will always be Han people .
The Jin Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the vast majority of Han people were poisoned.
Mongols destroyed gold, and the vast majority of Han people were once again poisoned.
Cui Li helped the Mongolians loot Kaifeng and waited for the enthronement at home.
He felt that after helping so much, the Mongolian Khan would definitely reward him with great help.
Results After the Mongolian army entered the city, they asked who is the richest in the city. The people said that all treasures were plundered by Cui Li, and Cui Li's family is the richest now.
When the Mongolian soldiers heard this, they thought I care whether Cui Li and Da Khan had an agreement. You and I had no agreement. They rushed into Cui Li's house and snatched it. Not only did they snatch all the treasures, but they also divided Cui Li's wives and concubines.
Facing this scene, Cui Li was crying without tears. He knew that the people in the city hated him to death. Even if he wanted to rebel, no one could rebel on his own.
A year later, Cui Li was killed by his generals. After hearing this, the common people in Kaifeng City removed Cui Li's body from eight pieces.
Kaifeng is a tragedy, and Jin Aizong, who has become a puppet, has not had much better life.
Since being placed under house arrest by Pu Chaguannu, Jin Aizong has been restless after sleeping and eating.
Finally, taking advantage of the Puchaguans' carelessness, set up a Hongmen Banquet and killed him, and the Mongolian army came over again.
Jin Aizong was unable to resist and could only "move" again, with hundreds of followers and fifty horses, fled to Caizhou like a refugee.
Caizhou is now Runan, Henan. Although the other party was also a Feng Shui treasure land, Jin Aizong was in a very awkward situation when he fled to Caizhou.
On the one hand, Caizhou's grain storage is limited, and Jin Aizong cannot persist in this for a long time.
On the other hand, Caizhou is the southern border of the Jin Dynasty, only a hundred miles away from the Southern Song Dynasty. When Jin Aizong retreated here, there was no way out.
Seeing that Caizhou was not a place to stay for a long time, Jin Aizong changed his previous attitude towards the Southern Song Dynasty and ordered the general Wuxian to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the important border town of the Southern Song Dynasty Guanghua (Laohekou, Hubei) . He planned to use Guanghua as a breakthrough point to occupy Hanzhong and then seek Bashu.
At this time, Jin Aizong was the same as Jin Xuanzong at that time. He thought that I could not defeat the Mongolians. Could it be that I could not defeat the paper-like defense line of the Song army?
As a result, the arrogant Jin army kicked the steel plate and met the number one general in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Gong .
In this battle, under the command of Meng Gong, the Song army killed 30,000 enemies and captured 70,000, which made Wu Xian himself flee back to Caizhou in a hurry.
could not beat the Song Dynasty. Jin Aizong could not dig out the meat of the Southern Song Dynasty and replenish his own sores. Then he could only stay in Caizhou and wait for death.
1 In August 233, the Mongolian sent people to the Southern Song Dynasty to communicate and discuss jointly destroying the Jin Dynasty.
Jin Aizong heard the news and hurriedly sent an envoy to the Song people in the name of begging for grain: "Mongolia destroyed the forty countries, and the Western Xia, and after the Western Xia was destroyed, it was , the Great Jin , and after the Great Jin Dynasty was destroyed, it would inevitably endanger the Great Song Dynasty. The lips were lost and the teeth were cold, which is a natural truth."
However, the Jin Kingdom at this time no longer had the value of "lip" in the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty. Even if the troops were sent to support the Jin Dynasty, the fate of the demise of the Jin Dynasty could not be avoided.
In Meng Gong's words: The demise of the Jin Kingdom is a foregone conclusion, so we might as well make good relations with Mongolia by destroying the Jin Kingdom. At least this will give us some time to prepare for war so that we will not be too passive when we go to war with Mongolia in the future.
"Be in power to help. Otherwise, if the gold is destroyed, (Mongolia) will be insatiable, and I will be able to reach my position." ——"History of Song Dynasty"
Therefore, the Song Dynasty decisively rejected Jin Aizong's begging for peace.
The Song Dynasty was unwilling to lend a helping hand, and Jin Aizong had no choice but to unite people's hearts, he led the ministers to the suburbs of Caizhou, set up incense tables, and prayed for God's help to protect the great Jin Dynasty.
Not to mention, this trick is a bit useful. At the scene of the worship of the sky, all the Jin soldiers were very morale and expressed their willingness to live and die with Caizhou City, and even if they died, they would have to take two Mongolian soldiers to take over.
In September, the Mongolian army attacked Caizhou. The Jin army defending the city fought stubbornly and repelled the Mongolian army's attacks several times.
The Han general of the Mongolian army, Zhang Rou, was eager to make contributions and personally led a suicide squad to attack the city, but was almost shot by the Jin army.
Zhang Rou is Zhang Hongfan's father. If Zhang Rou was killed by the Jin soldiers at that time, there would definitely be no Zhang Hongfan in history.
Caizhou City can never take it, which makes the head of the Mongolian army Tachaer very annoyed.
And at this moment, the reinforcements of the Song army came.
During the Mongolian army besieged Caizhou, Meng Gong was the main general of the Southern Song Dynasty, led 20,000 troops and transported 300,000 stones of grain to Caizhou.
With food and grass, Tachaer is not in a hurry. Since Caizhou cannot take it, it is better to surround Caizhou and starve the Jin army in the city to death. Anyway, the Song army sent food and grass, so it would be fine if they had eaten for a year or two.
During the siege, Tachaer and Meng Gong demarcated their respective siege boundaries and main attack directions, and agreed not to invade each other.
According to rumors, the incident of Meng Gong beating Wu Xian also spread in Mongolia. Mongolia is a nation that worships force. Therefore, when Tachaer met with Meng Gong, he praised him very much, not only took him to hunt and drink, but later became sworn brothers.
Two months later, under the siege of the Mongolian army and the Song army, Caizhou city was exhausted from ammunition and food, and it was so miserable that it was so difficult for children to eat.
1234 on the tenth day of the first lunar month, that is, on the eve of the fall of Caizhou, Jin Aizong knew that he could no longer hold on. He did not want to be the king of the country to be destroyed, so he issued an edict to abdicate and pass the throne to the , who was born in the royal family, Wanyan Chenglin (descendant of Wanyan Zongbi) .
At first, Wanyan Chenglin refused in every way.
Later, after the bitter plea of Jin Aizong, he said, "I am obese and cannot rode my horse to fight. If the city falls, it will be difficult to break through. Considering that you were agile and had the best strategy in the past, if you are lucky enough to escape, you can continue the country's fortune. This is my wish."
Therefore, Wanyan Chenglin agreed to succeed the throne.
The 11th day of the first lunar month, Jin Aizong chose to hang himself to death in order to avoid being insulted. Immediately, Wanyan Chenglin ordered people to cremate his body according to the wishes of Jin Aizong. At the same time, the throne was held to ascend to the throne.
However, during the reign of the throne ceremony, Caizhou City was captured.
Wanyan Chenglin was very brave and engaged in street battles with the Mongolian army, and was eventually killed in street battles.
It only took one hour from the time the last emperor of the Jin Dynasty Wanyan Chenglin ascended the throne to being killed.
After Wanyan Chenglin's death, the Jin minister Wanyan Zhongde led 500 remaining soldiers to join Rushui to sacrifice their lives for the country.
At this point, the Jin Kingdom, which was founded for 120 years, was destroyed.
After the complete demise of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongolian army and the Song army searched for Jin Aizong and finally found half of the body burned by Jin Aizong. After the incident, the Song and Meng agreed that the Southern Song Dynasty would recover the eight prefectures and thirty-three counties including Deng, Tang, Xi, Si and other counties that were previously occupied by the Jin army.
As for Jin Aizong's remains, they were divided into two parts and were brought back to the country to perform their merits by Tachaer and Meng Gong.
It is said that before the Song army withdrew, Meng Gong called the captured Jin ministers to humiliate them, saying that you, Jindogs, are there today?
Although the Jin minister present was dejected, he did not give in and retorted: Since ancient times, no dynasty has never perished, but our emperor has the will to sacrifice his life to the country! Where are yours?
To be honest, although Jin Aizong also has many shortcomings, he is still very strong before he dies. He and the last emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Chenglin, are not a little stronger than the two emperors of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, Meng Gong didn't care about the retaliation of the Jin minister. Because in Meng Gong's view, Battle of Caizhou was not only the beginning of the Mongolian and Song dynasties' war, but also the beginning of the future war between the Mongolian and Song dynasties.
Since the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, then accept the reality and actively face the Mongolian-Song War that will inevitably break out in the future.
