The fourth son of Jin Taizu, the famous Jin Wushu! How good a life

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-05

When it comes to the Golden Vulture technique, people often think of the fierce struggle between him and Yue Fei, perhaps because of Yue Fei's pre-eminence in Chinese history, the Golden Vulture is only fixed in the opposing light and shadow.

However, Jin Wushu's life was an outstanding general of the Jin Dynasty, brave and intelligent, and brilliant. Behind him is a brilliant father, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Known for his eloquence, he has shown extraordinary strength since he was a child, and everyone has high hopes for him. In the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe has always been known for their courage and good warfare, and they fought the world on the grassland and on horseback, naturally forming a strong combat effectiveness.

Born in such an environment, the Golden Vulture was born with a talent for mounted archery. He was exposed to war before he became an adult, which laid a solid foundation for his later conquests in the north and south. As the fourth son of Wanyan Aguta, Jin Wushu grew up in the company of his brothers, and with his talent and courage, he showed his extraordinary ability on the battlefield.

One of Wanyan Agu's great achievements was to fight against Liao, and Jin Wushu threw himself into the battlefield when he was still an adult, fighting with his brothers. He showed his outstanding talent for mounted archery early on, which made him stand out in the army. Jin Wushu is not only outstanding in martial arts, his personality is bold and informal, making him a unique existence among many generals.

Jin Wushu's military career began in his father's anti-Liao war, and he became famous in the first battle at a young age, showing bravery that was not inferior to that of his brothers. Wanyan Aguta's greatest wish was to defeat the Song Dynasty, so the plan to defeat the Song Dynasty was launched after a slight adjustment. Jin Wushu became the leading general of the Song army and made great achievements.

However, in the process of attacking the Song Dynasty, when the Jin Wushu faced the escape of the Southern Song Emperor Zhao Gou, he fell into a clever blockade. Zhao Gou used the sea to block the pursuit of the Golden Vultures, so that the Golden Vulture had to give up the pursuit and returned in vain for the time being. This battle gave Jin Wushu a deep understanding of water warfare, and also established his position in the army.

In 1128, Wanyan Agu ordered the pursuit of the escaped Song Gaozong, a difficult task that fell to the shoulders of Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu led the vanguard troops, desperately pursuing quickly. In the end, he chased Song Gaozong to the sea and achieved a remarkable victory. This battle made the status of the god of war of the Golden Vulture more stable.

However, the Golden Vulture ambition was not fully realized. Although he achieved some victories in the process of defeating the Song Dynasty, in the face of famous Southern Song generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, Jin Wushu could not shake the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty. The establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty became a sign that the Jin Dynasty's plan was not entirely successful.

Jin Wushu's military talent and loyalty made him Wanyan Aguta's right-hand man, and he was also a hero of the Jin Dynasty. However, due to the Jin Dynasty's non-Central Plains ethnic minority status, Jin Wushu is often overlooked in historical evaluations. The Jin Dynasty's war against the Song Dynasty was a highly controversial war, which prevented the Jin Wushu from being fully recognized.

History's evaluation of the Golden Vulture has two sides, but the image of a pure soldier can be seen in him. He was not interested in politics and preferred to be on the battlefield. On the way to the Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu fought with the famous ministers of the Song Dynasty, and although hostile, he deeply admired the heroic spirit of the enemy generals, and even buried the enemy generals himself.

Looking at historical figures, we should look at it from the perspective of debate, and the contribution of Jin Wushu to the military cause of the Jin Dynasty was enormous. His image shows boldness and loyalty, which is in stark contrast to Yue Fei, a hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. When evaluating ancient generals, one should not be bound by their status, but should see the great contributions they made.
