898 years ago today, on January 9, 1127 (November 25, 1126 in the lunar calendar), the Northern Song Dynasty perished and captured concubines and princesses were not as good as prostitutes. During the Jingkang period of Emperor Song Qinzong (1126-1127 AD). In April of the second year of Jingkang, the Jin army broke into Tokyo (Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and now Kaifeng, Henan Province), raided the city for several days, abducted Huizong, the second emperor of Qinzong and his concubines, princes, imperial family, and noble ministers, and then retreated northward. The public and private savings in Tokyo were empty. The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Also known as the difficulty of Jingkang, the disaster of Jingkang and the change of Jingkang. The humiliation of Jingkang refers to a famous event in Chinese history. The change of Jingkang led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, which deeply pierced the hearts of the Han people. Yue Fei, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, mentioned in "The Red River": "The humiliation of Jingkang is still not snowed, and the courtiers hate it. When will it be destroyed!". Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Liao state has been standing firmly on the Great Wall and the desert, confronting the Song Dynasty from north to south. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchen people in the northeast region gradually became stronger and established the Jin state. At this time, the Liao state had begun to weaken, and the court of the Northern Song Dynasty wanted to contact the Jin state to attack the Liao state. Unexpectedly, it exposed its own weakness, which led to the invasion of the Jin army. After the Liao state was destroyed in 1125, Jin Taizong used a Liao general to flee to the Song Dynasty as an excuse to attack the Song Dynasty In the late autumn season, the East Road Golden Army led by Zongwang grew all the way down, and it was like a broken bamboo. In a few days, there were only ten days left from the capital of the Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty court was terrified when they heard the news. Song Huizong, who was dizzy, took a minister's hand in fright and said, "I really didn't expect that the Jin people would treat me like this!" As soon as he finished speaking, he passed out in front of the bed. The ministers were in a hurry before Song Huizong woke up. The first thing he did after waking up was to ask someone to bring a pen and paper, write an edict, and pass the throne to the crown prince. He abdicated as the emperor, and then fled the capital overnight with a group of favorite ministers in the name of burning incense. Crown Prince Zhao Huan took the throne, and he was Song Qinzong. The situation in the capital was getting tighter day by day. Although Song Qinzong expressed his intention to resist Jin, in fact, he secretly discussed with Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, the prime minister of the peace faction, about escaping. At this time, Li Gang, the soldier of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and resolutely discouraged Song Qinzong from fleeing south. He said: "The emperor passed the throne to the emperor to ask the emperor to stay in the capital, how could the emperor give up the capital?" Song Qinzong had nothing to say. Bai Shizhong said next to him: "The golden army is ferocious, and the capital is dangerous. I don't know what good strategy Li Shilang has for retreating!" Li Gang replied sternly: "The capital is tall, and today's good strategy is to face the enemy openly, encourage the army and the people to unite and resist the enemy, and wait for all kinds of reinforcements to come and retreat." Song Qinzong hurriedly asked: "Then who can lead troops to defend the city? Li Gang replied, "The imperial court used high-ranking officials to support the ministers so that they could be available when they had something to do. The two prime ministers, Bai and Li, should shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the city!" Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan heard this, sweating on their foreheads, and said angrily: "Li Gang said it so nicely, let him defend the city!" Seeing that they had fully exposed the ugly state of being greedy for life and fear of death, Li Gang replied calmly: "As long as the emperor asks the minister to lead the troops to fight, the minister will die." Seeing his firm attitude, Song Qinzong immediately appointed him as Shangshu Youcheng and the capital to stay behind, sent him to lead the troops to defend the city, and expressed his determination to stay in the capital to defend against the enemy. But after two days, Song Qinzong changed his mind and wanted to escape again. When Li Gang was in the early morning dynasty, he saw that Qin Zong's car was about to leave, and he hurriedly asked the guards who were ready to go: "Soldiers, are you willing to defend the city, or are you willing to follow the emperor to the south?" "We are willing to defend the capital to the death!" The guards replied in unison. So Li Gang went to Qin Zong and said, "Your Majesty, the parents and wives of the soldiers are in the capital, so they are all willing to defend the city; if they want to accompany the emperor to the south, in case they escape on the way back, who will the emperor rely on to protect? Now that the golden soldiers are approaching, I am afraid that the emperor's chariots and horses will not go far and will be chased by them, so what should I do?" Only then did Qin Zong feel that fleeing south is indeed not a good way, so he decided to stay. Li Gang took the plane to announce: "The emperor has decided to stay in the capital. If anyone dares to suggest escape again, they will be punished as shaking the hearts of the army!" The soldiers heard it, cheered together, filled with tears of excitement, knelt down and shouted: "Long live" "Long live" "Long live" "Long live". Li Gang immediately set up the city defense, and in just three days, everything was ready. At this time, General Jin Zongwang started to launch a fire attack on the capital with a fireboat. Li Gang sent 2,000 suicide squads to line up under the city and scratched and hooked the enemy ships. The guards on the city threw fire oil, bricks and stones, and burned and sank dozens of enemy ships. The Jin soldiers did not give up and used the ladders to attack the city again. The city guards pushed down the wood and fired artillery, and the suicide squads under the city raised fire to burn the ladders, completely defeating the Jin soldiers' siege plan. Li Gang's army was winning, but who knew that Qinzong, who was afraid of the enemy, was secretly in contact with the Jin envoys, ready to accept extremely humiliating conditions for peace. After Li Gang found out, he strongly opposed it and argued in front of Qinzong, who still sent people to the Jin army camp to negotiate peace regardless of everything. At this moment, 200,000 troops from Shaanxi, Gansu and other places came to rescue the capital one after another. Qinzong wanted to send troops to attack Jinzong again to recover some losses, but the result was unsuccessful. The Jin army sent people to accuse the Qinzong of breaking the contract in person. Li Bangyan and others were terrified and put all the responsibility on Li Gang. The Qinzong actually took away Li Gang's official position to express his determination to negotiate peace with the Jin soldiers. As soon as the news of Li Gang's dismissal came out, it angered the people in the capital. Chen Dong, an imperial student, and others wrote to request the restoration of Li Gang's official position and the removal of Li Bangyan and his group of state thieves. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the capital gathered at the entrance of the palace, expressing their support for Chen Dong and others, and asking the Qinzong to receive them. Their cries shook the world, smashing the "Dengwen drum" in front of the palace gate, and killing dozens of eunuchs. Seeing the anger of the people, the Qinzong was forced to restore Li Gang's official position. Seeing that the morale of the capital was so high and reinforcements from various places had arrived, Jin Bing decided to retreat to the north. As soon as the Jin Bing retreated, Qin Zong thought that the world was peaceful and sent someone to pick up Song Huizong. Li Gang reminded him in time to be on guard against the Jin Army coming back. On the contrary, Qin Zong felt that he was troubled and transferred him away from the capital. Soon, the Jin Bing crossed the Yellow River again and went south, and soon reached the city of the capital. At this time, all the reinforcements had already withdrawn, and there were only 30,000 guards left in the capital, and Li Gang was not there. Qin Zong did not lead the army and the people to fight against the enemy, but actually believed the words of the rogue Guo Jing, saying that he could invite the "divine soldiers" to retreat from the enemy. Qin Zong ordered the troops to retreat from the city, opened the city gate, and the golden soldiers took advantage of the attack to enter the city. The rogue Guo Jing had already slipped away without After the Jin soldiers entered the capital, they took the countless gold, silver and treasures accumulated in the treasury. They searched them all, and together with the two emperors of Song Huizong and Qinzong, and the palace concubines of the royal family, more than 3,000 people, they took them back to the north. This tragedy happened during the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty, so it was called the "Jingkang Transformation". The Northern Song Dynasty perished. In the eyes of ordinary people, war seems to be only a matter for men, while women can stay away from the battlefield and bear the pain of acacia and possible fame and misfortune in the rear. However, in a society where male power is absolutely dominant, women are never so relaxed. They often become victims or spoils of war, and often suffer more and more painful suffering than men. The difficulty of Jingkang is an example. According to the "Kaifeng Mansion" records, before and after the siege of Bianjing, the Jin soldiers burned and killed, raped women, and did all kinds of evil. In addition to gold and silver property, they captured a large number of Song Dynasty officials and ordinary people, especially women. The Jin people specially asked for "600 girls". According to the "Words of the People in the Urn" and the book, in November of the first year of Jingkang, "On the 27th, the Jin soldiers raided the huge room, and the fire Mingde Empress Liu's house, Lan Congjia's house, and the Meng family burned thousands of rooms. More than 70 women left the city without looting." On November 25th of the first year of Song Jingkang and the fourth year of the Golden Tianhui, Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was breached by the Jin army, and a total of more than 3,000 concubines were captured, more than 3,000 beautiful women from the people, and thousands of ministers and family members of the imperial family. At that time, Jin Zuo's deputy marshal Jihan led his army to be stationed in Qingcheng, the fasting palace of the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor, which was five miles southwest of Bianjing City, and the right deputy marshal Jiuli Bufeijun was stationed in Liujia Monastery, five miles northeast of Bianliang City. Most of the 6,000 female prisoners were concentrated in these two places. According to the "Kaifeng Mansion", among these female prisoners, there were "Diji, that is, twenty-one princesses". According to the calculation of the twenty-six symbiotic daughters of Huizong, except for the four who died early, the youngest Fudiji, who was only one year old, was missing when she went north, and the rest of the emperors were wiped out. From the day of the city's destruction, to the first day of April in the fifth year of Tianhui, Emperors Hui and Qin went north, during which many female prisoners died, such as "Southern Expedition Records": "On the 20th, the women who believed in the king committed suicide in Qingcheng Village, and the women in each village died one after another." "On the 24th, Emperor Yifu fell ill, and Ling returned to the Shou Holy Courtyard." Then died. "On the 25th, Emperor Renfu died in Liujia Temple." "On the 28th, Emperor Xianfu died in Liujia Temple." It can be seen how tragic the ravages suffered by these innocent female prisoners were!
