Does Guo Jing really exist in history?

When the Northern Song Dynasty perished, there was a man named Guo Jing who was hunted down because he rebelled against the Nuzhen nationality of the Jin Dynasty and forced the Han people to cut their hair and change clothes.

He fled to the river and saw that there was no way out, so he chose to throw himself into the river. In history, Guo Jing had nothing to do with Genghis Khan, and threw himself into the river because he refused to pay.

This is the real Guo Jing in history and the prototype of Guo Jing, the hero of Jin Yong's martial arts novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
