Zhao Gou moved south again to restore the Song Dynasty, which is known as the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the state of Jin "searched the mountains and searched the sea to catch Zhao Gou", which was a sharp gun. Therefore, many people think that Jin Guo's move is tantamount to following the footsteps of the Song Dynasty. Actually, it is not. Jin Guo's move to the capital is indeed a relatively wise choice.
(1) If you underestimate your enemy too much, you will reap the consequences in the end.
"In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets." Some people think that it is foolish and reasonable for Jin to move the capital. Because after the announcement of moving the capital, the Mongols took control of Hebei. At the same time, the northeast of Nuzhen's hometown was completely out of the jurisdiction of Xu Jin.
The Yellow River has also been flooded. When people saw that the dynasty was out of luck, the Red Army uprising rose. But nobody has eyes. If Xu Jin hadn't moved its capital at that time, it would have been full of variables, and it might soon perish.
1. The momentum is dangerous, so we must retreat.
Jin Xuanzong once commented on the Mongolian army, saying that "Tatars are difficult to conquer, so don't worry too much." In fact, these tribal alliances from the Mongolian Plateau once surrendered to the State of Jin. Moreover, they are few in number and have not organized any large-scale battles. But that's what scares them. If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster.
The battle of Wild Tiger Ridge, which defeated Jin Jun, almost opened the door of Jin Guo. By 12 13, Mongolian troops had spread all over Shanxi, Datong and Hebei. Taking Admiralty Capital is a piece of cake for them, just like taking something out of a bag. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin was very afraid and announced the order to move the capital the next year.
At that time, Tu Shanyong and others tried their best to dissuade him and told Jin Xuanzong that if he retreated, his heart would be divided and he would cut off contact with his hometown outside the customs forever.
However, for Wan Yanxun, going south at this time is the only way to save his life. If you stay in Zhongdu, you can only wait for the Mongolian army Enemy at the Gates. As Xu Jin's troops were scattered all over the country, they had to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty and Xixia in the northwest.
Xu Jinguo is in a state of being attacked by the north and the south, and it can't be handled at all. In addition, his early foreign policy often made mistakes. First, he reached a settlement with Genghis Khan, who once despised him; Secondly, sever diplomatic relations with Xixia; Third, they waged war against the Southern Song Dynasty.
2. To delay the plan of war is to delay the time of extinction.
Later generations thought it was an absurd decision that Jin moved the capital, mainly because it angered Mongolia and made people lose confidence in the dynasty. However, the Mongols were angry because Xu Jin wanted to get out of their control. This just shows that Jin Xuanzong's decision is somewhat correct.
"When a person is dying, his words are good." In the face of the collapse of the empire, he could do nothing but save his life for the time being. Just like if a person falls into the water and someone tries to save him, he will desperately catch the person who saved him. If we don't move the capital, for Jin Guo, it will always face the crisis of national subjugation.
Moreover, after arriving in Bianjing, there is still a distance from the front line of the Mongolian-Jin War. No matter people or dynasties, metropolises hope to temporarily delay their own death time. So did Emperor Xuanzong of Jin and his state of Jin. If they stay in Zhongdu, the Mongolian side, which has a feud with them, may launch an siege war at any time.
As long as the capital falls and the emperor is captured, the country will immediately fall apart. Like Zhao Gou, the result is very good. Jin Xuanzong knew that his strength was limited, and he dared not risk a life-and-death battle with Mongolia. After all, he was injured and lost his life. Even if we can win, it will be a disastrous victory.
(2), temporarily avoid sharpness, for the future to regain their homes.
"Xuanzong was the last luck of Jinyuan. Although he lacked the materials to set things right, he was determined to make great efforts to govern." Similar to Yuan Shundi, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin had the mentality of making contributions, but lacked that ability, so he often did bad things with good intentions.
As far as moving the capital is concerned, Jin Xuanzong's practice really fits his character. Just like Temujin's withdrawal at that time, Xuanzong later sent a princess with a bunch of dowry. What he seeks is to break the wealth and avoid disasters, and to seek temporary stability. But after all, that's not a long-term solution. Comparatively speaking, moving the capital can indeed prolong Xu Jin's life, which is gone forever.
1. If you stay in the dynasty, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood.
After the change of Jingkang, Jin people experienced a long period of farming, and completely changed from nomadic tribe to farming nation. However, his system of fierce security has long since waned, and his army has no defense against powerful Mongolia. Jin Xuanzong knows this very well. Otherwise, we can't be defeated by Temujin repeatedly.
At that time, the state of Jin controlled a large territory north of the Yangtze River. The Central Plains can be said to be the golden hand. Therefore, Jin Xuanzong decided not to confront the Mongolian army. Although moving the capital shook the morale of the army and the people, it was indeed the only choice for Jin Xuanzong at that time. Of course, if he did what the Ming Dynasty did to Vala, so be it.
However, under the account of Emperor Xuanzong of Jin Dynasty, there is not necessarily such a hero as Yu Qian. He didn't dare to take risks or die. He was afraid and his middle school became an isolated city. In that case, the inheritance handed down by our ancestors will be destroyed in our own hands. Therefore, it is better to move south with humiliation.
He has many loyal people under his command. People saw the crisis of moving south, and so did Jin Xuanzong. But neither the monarch nor his subjects came up with a suitable plan, so they chose to move the capital, which was the worst policy.
2. The average level leads to doing bad things with good intentions.
"Xuanzong issued a letter, sealing nine local strongmen as princes and calling them" Jiugong ". All nine officials are ambassadors of Fu Xuan, ranking silver and green as Dr. Rong Lu, and were awarded the title of "loyal minister of Li Xuan". After Emperor Xuanzong of Jin moved to the capital, many "rebel armies" emerged in the border area between Hebei and Shandong. They continued to make waves under the banner of opposing gold and Mongolia.
And Wan Yanxun's ability to govern the country is indeed slightly inferior. Instead of sending troops north, he sealed the leaders of nine local warlords. For these people, they will be promoted in rank and senior officials will receive generous salaries. The important task of guarding the north gate of Bianjing was completely handed over to these scattered and mercenary warlords.
Jin Xuanzong has forgotten why Jin Wushu was able to March into Bianjing City, because there was no danger in defending Bianjing. And those so-called "nine male", their strength is not as good as Xu Jin's army, and they have no loyalty to Jin Xuanzong. People just want a share in the war. Therefore, the war in the north is getting tighter and tighter, and the Red Scarf Army is being suppressed more and more.
For Jiugong, they naturally hope that the more chaotic the better. Once the war stops, you will lose your position and you will no longer be able to make money. Therefore, it is a helpless choice for Jin Xuanzong to move the capital to Bianjing, but it is entirely his own ability to hand over the responsibility of guarding the north gate of Shi Jing to outsiders. This led later generations to criticize Jin Xuanzong for moving the capital.
(3) I could have cultivated and lived, but I chose to lose my song to make up for it.
He said, "I have been guarding Guanzhong for generations. After crossing southern Xinjiang, I can't be as painstakingly ashamed as Gou Jian, the king of Yue, but Gou Jian survived and extended the years. " Later generations were very disappointed with what Jin Xuanzong did after he moved south.
He could have learned from Gou Jian and actively prepared the army to recover the old land. This is also a compromise he made to get the minister's consent when he moved south. However, he didn't do it.
1. Cutting flesh to repair sores, but "Sao operation" followed.
An Zhen said in the Golden History: "Three generations will be generals, and the Tao will be taboo." When Jin Xuanzong arrived in Bianjing, he didn't want to have a good relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty, but how to make up for his loss in Hebei for a whole day. Therefore, he sent his distrusted servant Saint Anzhen to attack the Southern Song Dynasty.
But at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was not what it used to be, and its wings were hard. On the contrary, the state of Jin is much weaker than it was then. In the confrontation with the Southern Song Dynasty, we lose more and win less. In a rage, Emperor Xuanzong beheaded General An Zhen. In this way, the civil servants and military commanders in the DPRK saw their incompetent emperor and were all afraid of him.
His behavior angered the Southern Song Dynasty, which led the Southern Song Dynasty to choose to join forces with Mongolia against the State of Jin. For Emperor Xuanzong of Jin Dynasty, a Mongolia scattered the State of Jin, and the Southern Song Dynasty was definitely overwhelming. In the two years before his death, Jin Xuanzong used many generals he didn't trust before, and turned the corner on the Mongolian war, but there was nothing he could do.
2. A good hand, played to pieces.
The reason why Jin moved the capital to Bianjing is because most of Hebei has fallen, and it is useless to persist. And the Mongolian army is likely to enter the city. However, Bianjing is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Very prosperous, you can live a self-sufficient life. If Jin Xuanzong learns from a painful experience and revitalizes state affairs, he is very likely to rise.
After all, the area occupied by Mongolian troops at that time was barren and sparsely populated, so Xu Jin still had certain advantages. However, Xuanzong provoked the Southern Song Dynasty, which was also hostile. Zhao and Song wanted to take the opportunity to attack, which gave people more excuses. Between Scylla and Charybdis, Xu Jinguo was very embarrassed.
From the perspective of moving the capital, it is a very correct decision. After all, staying in Zhongdu is likely to disappear. The mistake is that Jin Xuanzong didn't have that great ability at all. Of course, if he had, he wouldn't let Mongolia occupy most of Hebei and Shandong.
Conclusion:
Is it right for Jin Guo to move the capital? Everyone has his own opinion on this matter. However, from the perspective of Emperor Xuanzong of Jin and Jin Guo, moving the capital only shook the foundation of the country and the people's hearts, which can be repaired. Without moving the capital, Mongolia is hard to resist and is in danger of national subjugation and extinction at any time. Moving the capital is really a helpless move.
Xun can still tell which is more important. He didn't expect the son of heaven to guard the country. After all, people have already reached the gate of the capital.
