Generally speaking, after the capital is breached and the enemy country is destroyed, the royal family and nobles of the enemy country are often treated inhumanely. However, the attitude of Mongolia towards the Southern Song Dynasty royal family in history was unexpected.
After the disgrace of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty royal family was deeply humiliated by the Jin Dynasty, and even Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Huizong of Song also suffered humiliation in the Jin Dynasty. The Jin dynasty had two emperors stripped naked, put on sheepskins, and crawl on the ground naked. The royal women were reduced to slavery, some became washergirls, and some chose to commit suicide.
With the stalemate between the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty nobles living in exile in the Jin Dynasty finally received some respect and kindness. However, this treatment is still based on the strength of the state, and only Zhao Kuangyin has ever been treated well by the emperor of the previous dynasty in history.
After the rise of the Jurchens, they showed great fighting power, but they were oppressed by the Mongols. The Jurchens took advantage of the internal contradictions of the Mongol tribes, incited antagonistic feelings, ** the Mongols, and weakened their strength. After the rise of Genghis Khan, the Mongol tribes formed a powerful force and posed a threat to the Jin dynasty.
After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongol army burned, killed and looted, and transported all the more than 500 people of the Jin Dynasty royal family back to Mongolia. After his death, the last emperor of the Jin Dynasty was cut in half, which became the result of the war between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. The royal family of the Jin Dynasty, who was escorted back to Mongolia, was ruthless**, the woman was arbitrarily violent, and the survivors were also reduced to **.
After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols treated the Southern Song royal family with surprisingly gentleness. The Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty once formed an alliance, and after the destruction of the Jin, the Mongols were afraid of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Mongol army besieged Xiangyang for six years and eventually conquered it, but remained more tolerant towards the Southern Song dynasty.
The Mongols initially despised the military power of the Southern Song Dynasty, but under the iron-blooded confrontation between the Southern Song military and the people, their impression changed. Due to the chaotic internal situation, the Mongol army was unable to quickly destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. After the Mongol army was reorganized, it stormed Xiangyang, the gateway to the Southern Song Dynasty, and it took six years to capture it.
The minor emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Song Gong and the Empress Dowager, finally surrendered, but the Southern Song Dynasty did not die and continued to resist. The Southern Song Dynasty general Meng Hui contained the main Mongol force in the mountain city, giving the Southern Song Dynasty more than 20 years of respite. The Mongol sailors captured Hangzhou, and the Southern Song Emperor and the Empress Dowager surrendered. The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the Southern Song Dynasty continued until it finally ended after the Battle of Yashan.
Mongolia's treatment of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family was surprising. After the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty was sent to Mongolia, she was not only not abused, but also lived under the protection of the Mongols, and finally lived to be 73 years old. Emperor Song Gong spent a relatively stable childhood in Mongolia, and when he became an adult, he was treated well by the Mongols, and it can even be said that he was benevolent and righteous. Although the Mongols later expanded, compared to the Jin Dynasty, the treatment of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family can be called merciful.
While the Mongols and the Jin Dynasty were at odds with each other, the Mongols and the Song Dynasty had no hatred. In order to control the Han people in the south, the Mongols showed surprising kindness towards the Song royal family.
The article details the unexpected treatment of the Mongol royal family after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, in contrast to the tragic fate of the Jin imperial family. In this historical depiction, we cannot help but be surprised by the gentle attitude of the Mongols towards the Southern Song dynasty, especially in contrast to the brutality of the Jin dynasty, which highlights the different cultures and backgrounds.
First of all, this article vividly outlines the cruel picture of Mongolia's treatment of the Jin Dynasty royal family after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, so that readers can deeply feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of history at that time. The last emperor of the Jin Dynasty was cut in half, and the royal women were arbitrarily violent, and countless lives and deaths were born. This treatment reflected the cruelty and ruthlessness of the conquest at that time, and one could not help but feel deeply sorry for the people of that era.
The article then subtly illustrates the very different attitude of Mongolia towards the Southern Song dynasty. Despite the devastation of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols showed surprising tolerance and kindness. The Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty was protected in Mongolia and lived to be 73 years old. Emperor Gong of Song had a stable childhood, and as an adult, he was also treated benevolently by the Mongols. This difference in attitude has led to thinking about Mongolian culture and Jin Dynasty culture, and the deep-seated reasons behind it.
At the same time, the paper provides an in-depth analysis of the complex relationship between Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty and between Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. The Mongols had a feud with the Jin Dynasty and treated them in a cruel manner, while the Mongols and Song Dynasty had no hatred, and even showed tolerance for the Southern Song Dynasty royal family to some extent. Such complex international political relations and cultural differences make history more colorful and thought-provoking.
Finally, the article contrasts the endings of the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty and Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty, highlighting their very different fates at the hands of the Mongols. The Empress Dowager was protected by the Mongols and lived for a long time, while Emperor Gong died in ***. This contrast makes one reflect on how individual destinies swing in the game of political power and are constrained by the current situation in a turbulent historical period.
Taken together, the essay is based on detailed historical facts and vividly depicts the unexpected leniency of the Mongols towards the Southern Song dynasty, in brutal contrast to the Jin dynasty. Through comparison, readers have a deeper understanding of the historical situation, cultural differences, and the complexity of human nature at that time, which further triggers reflection and reflection on history.
