Why did the Jurchens, who were destroyed by the Mongols at the end of the Song Dynasty, rise again?
In the history of the Song Dynasty, due to the invasion of the Jin State, it was divided into the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. It uses this to build the state. The Jin dynasty first sent troops to defeat the Liao dynasty, and a few years later directly attacked the Northern Song dynasty. After the defeat of the two dynasties and the inheritance of its legacy, the Jin state of the Song dynasty reached its peak of political and cultural power during its heyday, but it declined when Jin Xuanzong succeeded to the throne. Internal politics gradually deteriorated due to the lack of a strong leader, coinciding with the offensive of the Mongol army and the Northern Song army at that time.
One in the south and one in the north, like a man and a woman paired. The arrogant Jin State was on the verge of collapse due to internal and external troubles. In its heyday, Dajin was a very large country, and many Han people in the territory rebelled when they saw this situation, and the Dajin Kingdom was destroyed and could not be restored.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, another Jin country appeared, known as Houjin. However, I personally believe that this Jin country is not the Jurchen people of the original Jin country. Let's break it down from the beginning. It took only 13 years from the strong subjugation of the tribes by Wanyan Aguta, the re-raising of the Liao and Northern Song Dynasty, and the fall of the Liang Dynasty. The Jin dynasty was destroyed in 120 AD (1115-1234) by the combined forces of the north and the south (men and women), namely the Northern Mongol and Northern Song Dynasty. The remaining territory after the destruction of the country, firstly, because the Mongol Empire was strong at that time, and secondly, because Mongolia was closer to the territory of the Jin State, so most of the mountains and rivers were in the pockets of the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty was established.
The Jurchens, who had lost their backbone, returned to their original nomadic state, divided into tribes, and lived alone. However, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was afraid of the Wanyan family. The Chinese-speaking Jurchens were classified as Han Chinese, and the Mongolian-speaking ones were classified as Mongols, but only the Wanyan family could not be forgiven.
Under this political division and oppression, the Jurchens suffered severe damage, resulting in a loss of 50% for the Jurchens. Coupled with the war to destroy the country, the resistance and resistance of the people of the Song Dynasty, the army was scattered on the battlefield, and most of the fugitives suffered heavy losses.
Although the Ming Dynasty (Nurgan Dusi) ruled over the three Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou, Jianzhou was not a place name, but a guard post for the local Tusi. While they could be called Jurchens, they could not be confused with the Jurchens of the Jin dynasty. 。The Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom can be regarded as a nation, but the Jurchens of the Ming Dynasty can only represent one region.
When it comes to mountain climbing, it's actually quite simple. For example, the Mongol Empire was able to rise and invade, and eventually succeeded in establishing the Yuan Dynasty. There is one person who is indispensable, and that is Genghis Khan.
I remember when I was a child, a TV series said that Genghis Khan single-handedly united the tribes, integrated the troops, and then conquered the north and the south. The cavalry, in particular, is brave and good at fighting. The rest of the world was stunned to see the Mongol cavalry that laid the foundation for the statehood. Nurhachi appeared at the time of the weakest Jurchens. Such a powerful figure, uniting the ministries. The Jurchens were eliminated first, and then **. They returned at one point and sometimes even lived a life of fishing and hunting. Later they became indigenous somewhere, almost non-existent. It feels that Nurhachi's strength is not as good as Genghis Khan's, but his fame is greater. After successfully invading the Central Plains, he also established the state as emperor.
