In thousands of years of feudal society, due to low productivity, in order to survive, in order to compete for resources and population, there were wars for many years. After all, the rule of Zhenguan is prosperous, and there are very few, and the war years are far more than the peace years. In troubled times, no matter who wins or loses, innocent people will always suffer Especially helpless women and children. It is a vivid portrayal that a great achievement will lead to ten thousand bones dying. In the war, it is a very sad thing to be defeated and become a prisoner of war, especially for women who become prisoners of war, and their fate is even more tragic.
Most ancient wars broke out because of the competition for resources and food population, so the defeated party was bound to be plundered by the victorious party. Winners can get a lot of property, money and women. In the eyes of the ancients, women are also a resource. Due to the backward productivity in ancient times, population is an important symbol to measure the strength of national strength. So they rob women to increase the population.
For the cruel enemy, it is undoubtedly a shameful and sad thing to be a female prisoner of war. At the end of the northern song dynasty, the royal family of the song dynasty was groggy and incompetent, and was not prepared to fight. The majestic Dasong Empire was invaded by tens of thousands of nomads from the Song Dynasty and captured the capital Kaifeng all the way. Emperor DaSong became the prisoner of Jin people. From then on, Qin Hui, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, began a long life as a prisoner.
Not only the emperor, court ministers, concubines, harem ladies and folk women were captured, and a lot of wealth and jewels were looted by the Jin army. This is the famous shame of Jingkang. According to incomplete statistics, in this incident, 6,000 women in the Song Dynasty became prisoners of the Jin people. Many women in Song Dynasty were concubines, queens, ladies-in-waiting and princesses.
But after becoming a female prisoner of war, the fate is the same. All female prisoners of war, regardless of their status, were insulted and ravaged by the Jin people in turn. Even killed at will, these female prisoners of war were humiliated by Jin Bing all the way. Many people can't stand the pressure and have to commit suicide. Living people have to endure the long-term ravages of foreigners, which is simply death.
In the backward and conservative feudal society, the shame of Jingkang brought these female prisoners of war not only physical harm, but also great mental pain. Therefore, being a prisoner of war is a very tragic thing, and being a female prisoner of war is even more terrible.
