Genocide of Sogdians (An Lushan), Jurchens (1215 by Genghis) Manchus (1900 Boxer rebellion)

No.12123252 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Three mass genocides and mass rapes happened to Sogdians, Jurchens and Manchus in the exact same city.

Many Sogdians settled in Jicheng (Beijing) until the An Lushan or An-Shi rebellion (16 December 755 – 17 February 763).

In revenge against An Lushan, the Tang dynasty Goguryeo general Gao Juren genocided caucasoid Sogdians when defeating An Lushan and retaking Jicheng.

During the Jin dynasty (1115–1234) the Jurchens organized their own people in the Mengan (Minggan) Mouke system and transfered 3 million Jurchens from Manchuria (Heilongjiang and Jilin) south to cities like Zhongdu (Beijing) and Bianjing (Kaifeng). They razed their own capital and palaces in Shangjing (Acheng, Harbin) in Heilongjiang.

In 1215, Genghis Khan sacked Jurchen majority Zhongdu, leaving the ground soaked in fat as Jurchen women were mass raped and Jurchen men killed. Genghis Khan took Jurchen Wanyan princess Qiguo as his concubine.

In 1233, the Mongols and Han Chinese forces besieged Jurchens in Bianjing (Kaifeng) and Han Chinese officer Cui Li defected and opened the gate for them. Han Chinese officials and civilians were spared while the Mongols ordered all Jurchen Wanyan princes executed and took Jurchen Wanyan princesses as sex slaves to Mongolia under Ögedei's orders, avenging the Jingkang incident of 1125-1127. Han Chinese General Shi Tianze had defeated the 80,000 strong army of Jurchen prince Wanyan Chengyi at Pucheng in 1232 paving the way to Kaifeng. Shi Tianze's son Shi Gang married a Mongol Kerait woman while Jurchen women became sex slaves of Mongols.

Meanwhile in 1276 when the Han Chinese Southern Song child Emperor Gong (Zhao Xian) capitulated with his mother in the capital Lin'an (Hangzhou), Kublai Khan ordered none of them to be harmed or raped and instead he married off his own daughter, a Borjigin princess to Zhao Xian. She gave birth to his son Zhao Wanpu.

Why is Tibet still part of China? Its culture, religion, and people are nothing like the rest. I know it was conquered hundreds of years ago, but it clearly didn't integrate very well.

Were Native Americans more "civilized" than us? On contact our only advance was gunpowder, they had longer lifespans than serfs.
