The Battle of Yashan had a great influence on China. After this war, the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed. The loyal opposition, a single soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty, paid a heavy price for this war, but it was a pity that it finally failed. Hundreds of soldiers and civilians died here, and the last strength of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court was destroyed, and there was no hope of revival. Then the army of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time had no strength against the Mongolian ancients, and their most elite army had already been wiped out. The rest of these troops are temporarily formed, and they have no fighting capacity at all, which is not at all the same level as the elite Mongolian army.

Due to the failure of the battle, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was inevitable. At this time, the soldiers and civilians of Yashan directly chose death.

Of course, there is a misunderstanding in the history of this incident. Many people have always believed that the soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty committed suicide by jumping into the sea, but there is no clear explanation about how these people died. Later, the Mongolian army salvaged a total of 100 thousand bodies on the coast, and these soldiers and civilians really died here. I think many people must have chosen to commit suicide, but many people were killed in the war. Since there are still so many of them, why not choose to fight the Mongols directly? It is better to attack bravely than to commit suicide.

First of all, the strength gap between the two sides was too great at that time.

Since Mongolia's southern expedition, many troops in the Southern Song Dynasty have been resisting, but their troops can't really fight against the Mongols. The Mongolian army went all the way south, constantly embezzling the power of the Southern Song Dynasty, and directly drove Song Jun to Yashan and other places.

At that time, these soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty had three choices, or they surrendered. There were many examples of surrendering to Mongolia before, but after they surrendered, most of them became slaves of the Mongols, and many of them were directly killed. Surrender is not a very suitable choice for many soldiers and civilians in Yashan. If these people could surrender, they would have surrendered long ago.

Secondly, they can go out to sea to Southeast Asia and other places, and with their strength, they can continue to resist there, but the problem is that the military situation was urgent at that time, and everyone didn't have much time to act. Besides, many people can't accept living in a foreign country like this, and the Song Dynasty has no right to move so many people away.

Then in the end, only death remains. I think most soldiers and civilians died in the war. At that time, in addition to the army, people were often allowed to go to the battlefield, either as civilian workers or by giving them weapons to act as combat forces. But these people without military training are no different from dying on the battlefield.

Besides, among the100000 people, the real army only accounts for a part, and many of them are the families of these officers and men. These people will become a burden to the army as they move with the big troops, and they will certainly not be able to fight well with their families on the battlefield. The Song army had the habit of going out with their families, so their troops were often large in scale, but their actual combat capability was very general. After the defeat, most Song Jun soldiers and their families will die on the battlefield, and the rest will survive. Even if the Mongols have the best fighting capacity, it is impossible to kill all the Song soldiers on the battlefield.

The rest of these Song soldiers resisted while retreating and tried their best to use their own strength against the Mongols. I believe that all the others committed suicide. Because of the defeat of World War I, the Song Dynasty was completely destroyed. At that time, the royal family in the Song Dynasty was almost extinct, and the remaining soldiers also lost their leaders. The last emperor was also thrown into the sea by ministers. For these Han Chinese, there is no place for them in the world, and it is impossible to fight against the Mongols with their strength. It is better to choose suicide and die with your own country.

Of course, I think some people are unwilling to commit suicide. Maybe when Song Jun committed suicide, he used the same means as the Japanese before, that is, he threatened people to jump into the sea. This kind of thing happened many times during World War II, and there were many such examples in ancient times. There must be many people killed in the cliff mountain. Because the battle of Xiangyang was so tragic at first, but then Xiangyang soldiers and civilians simply surrendered, which shows that most people still want to live in their hearts. Everyone didn't survive the first world war in Yashan. It is estimated that Song Jun forced him to die.
