Chapter 13 Jingkang Difficulty

The bloodbath and plunder continued for more than 20 days. The Jin people plundered 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million bolts of silk from the treasury in Tokyo, and carried them back to China in a steady stream, but they were still not satisfied. In order to extract more wealth, the Jinren also kidnapped Zhao Heng. The lion opened his mouth and demanded another one million ingots of gold, ten million ingots of silver, and ten million bolts of silk. Zhao Ji had no choice but to order people to repeatedly search the houses of the emperor's relatives, officials, monks, brothels and common people.

The Jinren were asking for a lot of money, and digging three feet in the city still couldn't satisfy the Jinren's demands. what to do? Jinren also felt embarrassed, but he refused to give up the price no matter what. After repeated discussions internally, he agreed to pay off the debt with a woman! M: For this reason, there are detailed records in the "Kaifeng Mansion Certificate": "Eighty-three concubines, twenty-four concubines, and twenty-two emperor concubines were selected, and one thousand ingots of gold were allowed, and 134,000 ingots of gold were obtained. , five inner emperors and concubines, ninety-eight imperial concubines, twenty-eight concubines, fifty-two concubines, seventy-eight female concubines, and one hundred and ninety-five concubines near branch. Five hundred ingots of gold, 225,500 ingots of gold. One thousand two hundred and forty-one concubines of the family, two hundred ingots of gold, two hundred forty-eight thousand, two hundred ingots of gold. Four hundred court ladies There were seventy-nine people, four of them were 600 singles of daughter-in-law, 2,000 singles of clan wives, ninety-one of them, five hundred ingots of silver were allowed, and 1,587,000 ingots of silver were obtained. One thousand three hundred and fourteen people, who were allowed two hundred ingots of silver, and got six hundred and sixty-four thousand two hundred silver ingots. There were three thousand three hundred and nineteen noble relatives, officials and women, who were allowed one hundred ingots of silver, and got three One hundred and thirty-one thousand nine hundred ingots. The gold is six hundred thousand and seven thousand seven hundred ingots, and the silver is two million five hundred and eighty-three thousand one hundred."

There are eleven thousand six hundred and thirty-five women of all kinds who have been mortgaged! However, with the selling money of these poor women and the amount of gold and silver that had been paid before, Song Ting still owed the gold man 342,780 ingots of gold and 871,300 ingots of silver. While waiting for the Song government to continue raising funds, these poor people were detained in Qingchengzhai (south of today's Kaifeng City) and Liujiasi (northeast of today's Kaifeng City) in two Jin Army camps for the Jin Army's pornography. Poor these women were subjected to all kinds of inhumane ravages in Jinying. If they disobeyed a little, they were immediately beheaded for public display.

In order to satisfy the lust of the generals of the Jin Army, Wuli Buli issued inhumane orders such as "If you are pregnant, listen to the doctor to give birth", and "Women in each village died one after another." After all, the Song court failed to make up the astronomical amount requested by the Jin army. On March 20, 1127, Wu Qimai angrily announced the abolition of the Song Dynasty emperor. The Northern Song regime, which lasted for 168 years (960-1127), officially declared its demise. After the Jin people wiped out the Song Dynasty, how did they plan to govern the vast area of ​​the Central Plains?

In the final analysis, it is just a country that has just been established, and it is a bit powerless to manage this vast territory. Therefore, it is imperative to establish a puppet regime that can manage the Central Plains instead of itself. After deliberation, the Jin people finally locked their target on the former Great Song Shangshu Zuo Pushe and his servant Zhang Bangchang, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he put him on the throne, and then withdrew north. On the day when the main force of the Jin army withdrew to the north, in addition to looting countless books, maps, treasures and artifacts, Zhao Ji, his father and son, and all members of the clan were taken away in two ways. Among them, Zhao Ji, Queen Zheng, the prince, grandson, Consorts, princesses, concubines, etc. were detained by Wolibu and went north along Huazhou. Zhao Heng, Empress Zhu, prince, concubine, emperor concubine, clan, princes, ministers, etc. were under Nianhan's custody and traveled northward along Zhengzhou.They plundered all the clans of the Song Dynasty in order to destroy the fantasy of the people in the Central Plains to revive the Song Dynasty and lay a good foundation for the newly released Zhang Bangchang regime.

Women from Qingchengzhai and Liujiasi, musicians, craftsmen, and even innocent civilians were also forced to accompany them. A total of more than 14,000 people were divided into seven groups. The new wind returns to the north. Just last year, the lychees transplanted from the south to the palace successfully bore fruit. Zhao Ji complacently ordered people to pick some, and sent people to Yanjing to give the officials working there a taste. Poetry, the poem goes: "His Royal Highness Baohe Lichee Dan, dressed in civil and military clothes, is full of savagery. Thinking and close ministers have the same taste, and the world of mortals flies over Yanshan Mountain."

Unexpectedly, after a year, the word became a prophecy, and I actually "flyed across Yanshan". These more than 10,000 subjugated slaves endured hunger, food, shelter, and unbearable torture on the way, and died in large numbers. On the way, because Zhao Ji was thirsty, he couldn’t beg for water several times, so he had to "pick mulberries and eat them beside the road". I ate a few of them, and they tasted good, but my nurse snatched them back. Today I ate mulberries for the second time, and it was under such circumstances. Alas, I didn’t expect the little mulberries to witness the honor and disgrace of my life." ( "When I was in the mansion, my grandmother used to eat this, and I took a few pieces. The beauty of the food, I found it for my wife to take it away. If I eat it again now, the disaster will end here, and it will end with me!") After finishing speaking, tears were like rain Down.

Being thirsty and having no water to drink is still a trivial matter. There is a passage in "Nanjin Jiwen" that records their arduous journey: "It was about sixty miles a day. At night, the road was faint and I couldn't distinguish things. There was a fox howling in the forest. In the foothills, the breeze and drizzle are not like the world. The accompanying people are full of complaints. Ghosts and ghosts are everywhere, and they can’t sleep all night. The dawn reminds them to go, and some horses have to get dry food. Everyone is injured by the water. The mouth hurts and can’t speak for a long time Fang Su. The two emperors also have foot pains and it is difficult to walk. And the poisonous mist is everywhere, which is not the way for ordinary people to come and go."

Also: "The ground is full of floating sand, walking like walking in the mud, and the sand is up to the ankle. At that time, the shoes of those who walked together lost. The emperor's foot was injured by the rubble, blood flowed between the fingers, and it was painful. Resting on the stone slope On it. It was already late in the morning before eating breakfast, and walking until late at night, at a distance of ten or twenty miles, there was a fan slave accompanying him, who died of distress. He was buried in the sand. For several days, the sun was never seen, and it was often shrouded in heavy fog. Toxic gas enters the nose and coughs and bleeds."

Compared with a group of men such as Zhao Ji, the women in the royal family were much more miserable. They were abused along the way, and they were ravaged to the point of "nine diseases out of ten", and four out of ten died on the road. Among them, the second concubine Zhu Xing, Emperor Fujin, and Empress Huanhuan of Kang Wang Zhaogou were "fallen from a horse and damaged their fetuses" by the golden man.Zhao Heng's Empress Zhu and Concubine Zhu Shen were gang-raped by Qianhu Guolu and King Gaitian on the way to relieve them... If the situation of these imperial clans is so miserable, there is no need to say more about other ordinary people.In short, along the way, "the plundered people shed their faces with tears every day, and the captive chieftains embraced women, indulged in wine and meat, played orchestras, and had endless joy."All kinds of misery are too horrible to bear.

After countless hardships, the captives finally arrived at Huining Mansion (now south of Acheng, Heilongjiang Province) in Shangjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, on August 21, the second year of Jianyan (1128). However, what awaited them was even more humiliating days. As soon as they set foot on the land of Shangjing, Zhao Ji, Zhao Heng and others were escorted to the Jinren's ancestral temple and attended a large-scale captive ceremony. In order to humiliate the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is recorded in the history: "Concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, imperial concubines, and clan women all show their upper bodies and wear sheep fur." All "the meat is covered with sheep's fur", and they kneel down in the temple.After paying homage, the concubine Diji was able to enter the palace to change clothes, but all of them were dressed in Hu Yi Hu Fu.The more than a thousand women who accompanied them were still naked and naked, and were rewarded as trophies to the officials and soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin who stayed at home.More than 300 people, including Concubine Wei and concubine Xing, the mother of King Kang Zhaogou, entered the "laundry yard", that is, official brothels. Soon after, Zhao Ji was demoted to Duke of Hunde and Zhao Heng to Marquis of Hunde. Zhao Ji's Empress Zheng and Zhao Heng's Empress Zhu were also sent to the "laundry yard" for the pleasure of the Jin people. According to incomplete statistics, the Jin people "looted no less than 200,000 men and women from Song Dynasty" in batches.Those skilled craftsmen were still able to support themselves, and the royal children were reduced to slaves, responsible for cooking and grazing, and were whipped every day.Countless concubines, concubines and various women were sold into prostitution, or sent to Korea and Mongolia as slaves.As the saying goes, "Nine prostitutes out of ten, the loss of reputation and life also perishes." A Han who was detained in Beidi wrote "Swallows", in which there is a record saying: "The neighbor's ironworker bought a whore for eight gold, and she is actually the prince's granddaughter, Xiangguo's nephew, and Jinshi's wife." The blacksmith dreamed Unexpectedly, the prostitute he bought back for only eight taels of gold turned out to be a golden branch and jade leaf in the Northern Song Dynasty!It's exactly: "Zong Ji of the Song Dynasty, the young daughter of King Qin, once married to the Qin and Ci clan", sad husband! Although the main force of the Jin soldiers withdrew temporarily, their inhuman plunder and looting caused a huge scar on the land of the Central Plains. It is worth mentioning that when the capital fell, Liu Kai, Yue Fei's original superior, escorted him in the forbidden area. He resolutely rejected the persuasion of Jin servant Han Zheng to surrender, and boldly wrote a suicide note: "The country is broken and the sage is moved. The master worries about the humiliation of the ministers. "Death", bathed and changed clothes, hanged a beam to die for the country. As the first superior in Yue Fei's military career, his death inspired Yue Fei to a certain extent and gave Yue Fei a deeper understanding of loyalty and righteousness.Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as home!
