After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, how did the local people live under the rule of the Jin Dynasty?

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, thousands of people of the Northern Song Dynasty became slaves of the subjugated country. As a country ruled by ethnic minorities, the Jin Dynasty did not know how to appease the people of the Northern Song Dynasty. The people lived a very miserable life, so many people missed the Northern Song Dynasty. After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, some people went to the Southern Song Dynasty to join the anti-Jin Dynasty team. Next, let’s take a look at what we will face as slaves of the Northern Song Dynasty under the rule of the Jin Dynasty.

1. The Jin Dynasty’s sudden large taxation

After the Jin Dynasty came to power, they still required the people to pay taxes to them. In normal times, the Jin Dynasty may not require the people to pay taxes as regularly as the Northern Song Dynasty. However, in certain periods, the officials of the Jin Dynasty would suddenly ask the people to pay a lot of taxes. Maybe some people were forced to tax by Jin Dynasty officials just after they solved the problem of food and clothing, and became impoverished and even unable to eat. Faced with the unstable policies of the Jin Dynasty, many ordinary people lived in fear that they might go bankrupt all of a sudden.

2. Being looked down upon by the people of the Jin Dynasty

After the Jin Dynasty occupied the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, some people of the Jin Dynasty also lived with the people of the Northern Song Dynasty. As the subjects of the victorious party, the people of the Jin Dynasty naturally considered themselves superior and looked down on the people of the Northern Song Dynasty. In life, he would also bully the people of the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition, the ethnic minorities in the Jin Dynasty were relatively tough and violent towards the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people of the Northern Song Dynasty could only swallow their anger.

No matter when your country is destroyed, as a slave of the subjugated country, you will almost never end well. This is also the reason why we fought hard when facing foreign invasion, so even if the Song Dynasty was so weak, it still produced many outstanding generals, such as Yue Fei and Xin Qiji.
