Chapter 351: The Killing of Extinction 1

According to the agreement reached with the Mongols, the 20,000 troops of the Song Dynasty, led by the general Meng Gong, arrived at the city of Caizhou with 300,000 stones of grain and straw given to the Mongol army according to the provisions of the covenant.

The Mongol and Song Dynasty coalition forces jointly attacked Caizhou, and the Mongol and Song coalition forces besieged Caizhou for more than three months, and the two sides fought bitterly. In the end, the Mongol army defeated Lianjiang, and the Song army broke Chaitan into Rushui, flooding Caizhou, and soon the outer city of Caizhou was breached.

In the fierce battle, Jin Aizong burst into tears, and he said to his ministers: "It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and some of you have been used for many years because of the merits of your ancestors or because of your own meritorious service. Now that the country is in danger, you can share the weal and woe with me, and you can be called loyal ministers. The Mongolian army is about to attack the city, this is the time for you to make meritorious contributions to the country, even if you die in battle, it is also the soul of loyalty and filial piety. ”

Then he gave wine to the ministers, and his subordinates, under his encouragement, fought hard to defend it, and the armies of the Mongols and the Song Dynasty entered the city several times, but they were all killed by the Jin army.

However, Caizhou's situation became increasingly difficult, under the persuasion of the ministers, Jin Aizong changed into civilian clothes at night, and led the Jin army to try to break through from Dongcheng, but slowly touched the front of the Mongolian army's barracks, and was finally discovered by the Mongolian army and had to return to the city. At this time, the grain and grass in the city were cut off, and Jin Aizong slaughtered 50 horses and 150 military horses in his stable for the soldiers to eat, and took out the gold and silver utensils used by the emperor and rewarded them to the soldiers, encouraging everyone to continue to persevere.

The Mongol army dug open the five gates of the western city and entered the city. The general of the Jin State, Wanyan Zhongde, commanded the soldiers, and after fierce street fighting, temporarily repelled the Mongol army.

Seeing that Caizhou was in difficulty, Jin Aizong cried and said to his attendants: "I have been Jin Zi for ten years, the prince for ten years, and the lord for ten years, I don't think there is any big sin, and I have no regrets when I die." It really hurts me to hate the country that has been passed down from my ancestors for a hundred years, and when my generation dies, I will end up like those desolate and cruel faint kings in history. Since ancient times, there has been no immortal country, and the king of the dead country is often imprisoned and taken prisoner, some are humiliated in the court, and some become slaves, but I will never do anything that humiliates my ancestors. ”

That night, he summoned Wanyan Chenglin, the commander of the Jin army, and said to him: "I want to pass on the throne to you. ”

After Yan Chenglin thanked him in fear, Jin Aizong said: "This is really a last resort, I see that this city is about to fall, and my body is fat, and I am not good at riding horses, so I can only die for the country." You are usually agile and strategic, if you can break through and get out of the encirclement, so that the country can continue, I will be blind to death. ”

Wanyan Chenglin only agreed, and the next morning, Jin Aizong officially announced the succession. At the time of the Zen ceremonies, the Song army had already entered the southern city, and then the Mongol army broke through the western city, the Jin defenders retreated, and the Song and Mongolian coalition troops swarmed in, and the Jin defenders and the Song and Mongol coalition forces launched fierce street battles, and the sound of killing shook the sky on all sides. Wanyan Chenglin hurriedly led the soldiers out of the palace and into the street battle.

After Jin Aizong handed over the jade seal to Yan Chenglin, he hanged himself in Youlanxuan, and General Jin sighed: "The emperor has been martyred, who else are we fighting for?"

So he threw himself into the water and died for the country, and more than 500 soldiers died at one time. At this time, Wanyan Chenglin, who was in the middle of the battle, heard the news of Jin Aizong's martyrdom, and hurriedly led hundreds of officials to worship and weep in front of Aizong's corpse. He said to everyone: "The first emperor reigned for ten years, was diligent and thrifty, and tried to restore his old business, but in the end his ambition was not rewarded, which is lamentable. What do you think?" everyone agreed, and hastily left a nickname for the Golden Ai Sect.

As soon as Yan Chenglin finished this short ceremony, the Mongol and Song coalition forces had already attacked under Zicheng. Although the Jin army desperately resisted, it failed to repel the attack of the Mongol and Song coalition forces, and Wanyan Chenglin failed to break through the siege and died in the chaos. Wanyan Chenglin took less than an hour from his accession to the throne to his death.

Genghis Khan's famous motto: "The greatest pleasure in life is to kill all enemies, to rob them of all their possessions, to watch their relatives weep bitterly, to ride their horses, to hold their wives and daughters." ”

Genghis Khan's massacre of the Mongol cavalry was the first catastrophe in the history of the world, unprecedented, slaughtering 200 million people, how many deaths did the Mongol massacre cause?

After the Mongols destroyed Jin, they gained more than 870,000 households and a population of more than 4.75 million, which is more than 7.68 million households and a population of more than 45.81 million in the period of Jin Zhangzong, which is 90 percent less, and the number of Han people slaughtered in the north is estimated to be about 40 million.

After the fighting between the two sides in southern Shaanxi alone, the Song army lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and slaughtered people. When the Mongols attacked the Song Dynasty, they slaughtered 200 cities, including the slaughter of Changzhou. Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the number of households was 9.3 million, which was 30% less than the number of households during the Song Ningzong period. Based on the calculation of five people per household, the number of people slaughtered in the Southern Song Dynasty was about 24 million.

According to the most conservative estimates, at least 63 million people were slaughtered in the Jin Realm and the Song Dynasty, and all the Jin Emperor Wanyan and his family were slaughtered, and there was no Wanyan surname in the world again. This does not include the Dangxiang people lost by the Mongol Empire in the genocide of Western Xia, and the Khitans who were genocidated after the destruction of the Liao.

After the massacre of Sichuan, the population decreased by tens of millions, accounting for more than ninety to five, and there is no doubt that the number of households in Sichuan during the Shaoxing period was 2.63 million, and if calculated according to the calculation of five people per household, the population of Sichuan at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty was about 13.2 million. By the Yuan Dynasty, there were only 120,000 households left in Sichuan, that is, the population was only 4 percent of the population on the eve of the war, which shows that Sichuan's population was shockingly reduced in the war with the Mongols. At least 1.4 million people were slaughtered inside the city alone, and countless were counted outside the city.

The Mongols directly slaughtered 28 million people in Jin, and it is estimated that the population of Jinguo was about 30 million, accounting for about 90% of the population. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Henan, Hebei, northern Jiangsu, and western Shandong were all uninhabited areas for thousands of miles, and the Ming government forced people from other provinces to move there.

Legend has it that the commander of the Mongolian army, Boyan, did not kill a single person when he swept the south of the Yangtze River, but Boyan, who did not kill a single person, was so cruel that he forced the residents outside the city to carry the soil, and after transporting the soil, he arrested them and filled them into the base, and fried the people, and finally slaughtered the residents of a city in Changzhou. Boyan, who did not kill a single person, is still like this, and it can be imagined what the Mongol army did in the Sixty Years War between Jin and Sichuan.

Before the Mongols were destroyed by the Mongols, the ancient civilizations in Asia were quite developed, and the population of large cities was more than one million. In Persia alone, where millions of people were slaughtered, this is only a count of large cities, and the number of Mongols slaughtered in the countryside cannot be counted every time. But the invaded places are recorded as the Mongols who adopted the same policy of genocide in the countryside. At that time, the population of Russia was not large, so the total number of people slaughtered was not large, Moscow only slaughtered more than 200,000 people, but according to Russian estimates, the number of people slaughtered exceeded 50%, and the population of the directly slaughtered areas fell by more than 90%.

If the population density of other developed regions of the world at that time was similar to that of the Southern Song Dynasty of the Jin State, then the number of people slaughtered should be no less than the more than 50 million of the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty, that is to say, the number of people slaughtered by the Mongols should be no less than 100 million. As for the slaughter of 200 million, it is not impossible that the Mongols caused a large number of population declines, and the killing of Jin and Sichuan accounted for ninety percent.

All the people in the world who did not want to be slaughtered by them, who did not want to be plundered by them, who did not want to be enslaved by them were their enemies, and claimed to turn the land covered by the blue sky into the pastures of the Mongols, and the main purpose of the Mongol war at that time was to conquer and plunder.

During their first expedition to the west, the Mongols carried out a frenzied massacre of Doth Khan, also known as Samarkand. At that time, there were 50,000 Mongol soldiers, an average of 24 civilians per man, and as many as 1.2 million people were slaughtered. In February, the city of Bukhara, where a large number of fleeing soldiers and civilians were killed, followed by looting and a fire, which completely destroyed the city.

When the Mongol army arrived in Samalgan, there were 110,000 defenders in the city, of whom 60,000 were Turkic Kangli tribes, who thought that they would be treated well with the Mongols, so 30,000 of them went out of the city and surrendered, only to be burned and shot to death by the Mongols while sleeping.

Then there was another unprecedented sack and the expulsion of all the inhabitants from the city, many of whom were put to death, but fortunately the Khitan Yelu Chucai intervened to stop it, and Temujin followed his advice and selected 30,000 craftsmen from among the civilians to give to his sons and relatives, and 30,000 strong men fought with the army, and the rest were released after paying a certain ransom, and these returned residents could not live in a corner of the city.

When Temujin entered the Black City of Bari, the already terrified citizens went out of the city to surrender and swore allegiance, but Temujin slaughtered all the innocent citizens in the name of surveying the population, and reduced the Black City of Bari to ashes.

In Khorasan, he sent his youngest son Tuolei to capture, and the city surrendered, and almost all of its inhabitants were slaughtered. Sitting on a golden chair on the plain of, he witnessed the massacre, in which men, women, and children were separated and assigned to various barracks according to categories, and then beheaded. Only four hundred craftsmen survived death, and the tomb of the Sanga Sultan was burned and emptied.

Then he laid siege to the city of Tarihan, which seven months later broke down, slaughtered all its inhabitants, and destroyed the city. Then he captured the city of Van Yan, and because Temujin's beloved grandson, Chagatai's son Mu'a Balgan, was killed in battle, Temujin ordered that no one should be pardoned, not a single thing should be taken, and all would be destroyed. The site of Fan Yan was thus called a cursed city, and after the city was broken, it was ordered not to plunder any property and prisoners, and all people and animals were killed, and the city was destroyed and turned into a desert.

After the catastrophe, Fort Fanyanburg got its name Egg-Dangerous Bali, which means bad city, and for decades this place was lifeless, and it is said that even animals did not dare to approach it. In addition, after conquering Setermi, Temujin, who was so angry that he was so angry that he ordered all the inhabitants to be killed because of the stubborn resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city during the siege.

As soon as the Mongol army entered the city, the Mongol soldiers were ordered to slaughter twenty-four innocent inhabitants each, and then the Amu Darya River flooded the city, and the whole city was flooded, and occasionally those who were lucky enough not to be killed could not escape being drowned by the flood, with as many as 1.2 million people, and a prosperous capital city disappeared from the face of the earth.

At the same time, another Mongol army led by Jebe and Subutai that pursued the king of Khorezm, Mahadin, also brutally slaughtered and burned the cities after conquering the cities of Hamadan, Balhan, Rayi, Zanjan, Kejiyun, Guerqi, Merakha, and Shamaha. The Mongols captured Hamadan, and this time the citizens resisted, slaughtering the entire inhabitants and setting fire to the city. The two Mongol commanders set out from Hamadan and returned to Guerzhi via Ardabil.
