Obviously it was an army that subjugated the country. Why did it manage to establish an independent country after fleeing abroad? There are still a large number of Chinese descendants today?

Because after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Zili, who escaped, established the Java Shunta Kingdom in Java, so until now there are a large number of people with Han ancestry there. But it is a pity that although Lu Zili was focused on developing and restoring the Song Dynasty at that time, the country they established was weak and weak, which led to the eventual demise of the Java Shunta Kingdom.

1. The Battle of Yashan Sea witnessed the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty

This army that perished was the survivors of the Battle of Yashan Sea during the Southern Song Dynasty. The cavalry of the Mongolian army rushed into the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty had no strength to resist at that time. The young emperor and court ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were pressed hard by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. The young emperor and court ministers were forced to the Yamen Town area of ??Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province.

It was here that the famous Yashan Naval Battle broke out, in which the Southern Song Dynasty ended in failure. General Zhang Hongfan drowned in the sea, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu and the young emperor threw themselves into the sea, and one hundred thousand people and many ministers also jumped into the sea. During this battle, Lu Xiufu's son Lu Zili led other surviving personnel to escape to Java Island.

2. Lu Zili fled to Java Island and established the Java Shunta Kingdom to wait for the revival of the Song Dynasty

Lu Zili took the survivors of the battle across the ocean and came to the then Java Island. At that time, Java Island was in the midst of civil strife, and it was this chaotic situation that allowed Lu Zili to lead his troops to settle down in one fell swoop. Lu Zili quelled the local civil strife and established the Java Shunta Kingdom. He wanted to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity to regain the Song Dynasty.

But the Southern Song Dynasty has been destroyed. It is impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty to recover only with the persistence of a small group of people like Lu Zili. Although Lu Zili led the surviving personnel to establish the Java Sunta Kingdom, after all, this was a small country that would inevitably be invaded by neighboring countries, and the Java Sunta Kingdom eventually perished.

The current Java Sunta region was included in Indonesia after World War II. There must be a large number of Chinese descendants on this land. After all, there were a large number of Southern Song people living there at that time.
