Chapter 003: The Song Dynasty's Debate on Strength and Weakness

Sure enough, as soon as the news of Manfeng.com came out, it immediately drew the attention of many people. There were fewer comments on the comics, and then Cheng Hui went crazy with another batch of water army numbers.

You must know that the registration of Manfeng requires an ID number, and an ID number can only correspond to one account. After these numbers are blocked, you can only change your ID card to register. But the ID card is not easy to get, especially when the registration system of Manfeng Company has been networked with the ID card resource library of the Public Security Bureau, it is difficult to match the name and ID number entered indiscriminately, and it is lucky to enter it correctly a hundred times.

The book review area has stopped, and Liu Shuo has the heart to continue drawing comics.

Soon, Fang Qing's ranger unit, following behind the Song army, pursued the Liaoxia cavalry many times, but they all won slightly. In the second episode, Fang Qing appeared a lot more frequently, Liaoxia was defeated and retreated when facing the Song army, but when facing the rangers, he was extremely brave, which made the book review area come alive.

These book reviews are not the work of the trolls, but rather the plot in the comics that fans think is unreasonable. Why couldn't the cavalry of Liaoxia defeat the infantry of the Song Dynasty? This is completely unreasonable!

Some comic fans said like this, "Didn't the Song Dynasty emphasize literature over military force? Moreover, the training of the army was a unified model, and the generals were often changed and the troops were often changed, resulting in a situation where the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals." If the army of the Song Dynasty was really so good, how could the Northern Song Dynasty still be destroyed?"

This argument is supported by many people.

However, soon the emperor of historical truth came out to solve his doubts: "The fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was completely self-inflicted, and the Jin army opened the seal twice." For the first time, Li Gang organized a defense battle, plus the troops of King Qin from all walks of life, and the Jin army on the thigh. But when it came to the second time, Song Qinzong removed Li Gang's post and dismissed the Qinwang army from all walks of life, and when Kaifeng was besieged, the court was still discussing whether to cede the land and pay compensation, and the Qinwang army could not be organized for a while, and the border army in the northwest was blocked by the Jin army, and when there were no soldiers available, Kaifeng was broken by the Jin army. Therefore, the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty was entirely done by the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

Then the history came out, "Although the army of the Northern Song Dynasty was uniformly trained, it was because the armies that could fight in the Northern Song Dynasty were all forbidden troops, and Lin Chong was not the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in "Water Margin"! In the Northern Song Dynasty, even if there were not 800,000, the forbidden army had 500,000 or 600,000. They usually train in the Kaifeng area of the capital, and only when they are fighting, they will go out. However, later because of the need to guard against Western Xia, part of the forbidden army was transferred to the northwest and became a border army. ”

Later, the Song Dynasty was defeated, and the forbidden army began to erode, and the second emperor of Huiqin trusted Gao Yu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. Gao Yu is just a gangster, so I won't say much. Although Tong Guan is a relatively capable eunuch, he is still incomparable with a general from Jiangmen. And it was he who led the troops and the Jin army to attack Liao, so that the Jin army discovered that the army of the Song Dynasty was weaker than the Liao State, and it made the Jin army have bad ideas. Cai Jing has the ability, but he is better at intrigue, and he is even better at framing people. If it weren't for Kaifeng, there would only be officials like Li Gang and Chongshidao who were good at fighting, and they wouldn't be able to hold on to the first Jin army when they defended it. ”

"Let's talk about whether the army of the Song Dynasty is weak or not, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are very strong, first of all, their equipment, as depicted in the comics, they are all wearing foot armor and holding crossbow arrows in their hands. Of course, there are fewer melee weapons in the author's paintings. Do you remember that there were a lot of weapons in the Song Dynasty in the history books, and many of them had barbs on them?"

"Actually, those weapons are for small soldiers! Because the weapons of the generals of the Song Dynasty are not special, and they are the same as the weapons used by small soldiers (in fact, this is the case in all dynasties and generations, what Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Fang Tian Painting Halberd are all novelists' words. )。 Is a soldier armed to the teeth strong? There is no doubt about it, and only the Northern Song Dynasty can equip hundreds of thousands of such soldiers. This has nothing to do with the size of the country, but with the richness of the country. When I arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, such equipment was gone, because the Southern Song Dynasty couldn't afford it!"

"After talking about the soldiers, let's talk about the generals, there are very few famous generals in the Song Dynasty, and it seems that there is nothing to say except for Di Qing and the Yang generals. But in fact, Yang Jiajiang is also a novelist, most of them are not counted, and the three generations will decline. Throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many generals, but at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only three generals, one was a kind of general, one was a folding general, and one was a Yao general. ”

"Most of the generals of these three generals are in the northwest, and there are some generals who stay in Kaifeng, but they are not allowed to be reused. This is not only related to the Northern Song Dynasty's policy of advocating literature and light martial arts, but also related to the brain circuits of the second emperor of Huiqin. ”

"The Song Dynasty admired literature and light martial arts, and Di Qing was not in harmony with his boss in the person who was in charge of the deputy capital of Zhending Road. Han Qi looked down on the martial artists, and at a banquet, the courtesan White Peony (not Lu Dongbin's) persuaded Di Qing to drink, but called him Ban'er and laughed at him for having a tattoo on his forehead. Di Qing found a reason to whip the white peony after a few days. ”

A few days later, Di Qing's old department Jiao passed by Dingzhou with pressure soldiers, and Di Qing invited him to drink. Unexpectedly, Jiao Yong's pawn sued Jiao Yong for chaotic management along the way and withheld the soldiers' supplies. Han Qi was implementing a strike hard policy in the army, and immediately captured Jiao Yong, preparing to kill him to enforce military discipline. In order to save Jiao Yong, Di Qing asked to see Han Qi several times, but Han Qi didn't want to see him at all. In the end, Di Qing waited for Han Qi to come out at the outside of the door of Han Qi's office, and pleaded: "Jiao Yong has good military merits. Helplessly, Han Qi looked down on the martial artist, and said contemptuously: "The one who sings with the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good son, how can this be a good son?" Han Qi killed Jiao Yong in front of Di Qing!

From this incident, it can be seen how high the status of civil officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was. Kill meritorious generals at will, and you don't even need to ask for instructions. ”

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the three major generals rose from among the literati, and they could not be compared with the warriors in charge and fighting, and the defense was okay, but the attack was weak! Otherwise, the Northwest Frontier Army would not have been blocked by a single general of the Jin Army. ”

When these book reviews were put at the top, they were immediately admired by many people, because these things are not talked about in history textbooks. Unless there are people who have studied history, there is simply no way to tell so many things. You must know that there is not everything on the Internet in the past 07 years, and the encyclopedia is not complete. It's like ten years later, just Baidu and everything will come out.

Of course, there are some people who don't agree with these book reviews, but they are all hurriedly dropping a sentence of "fake" or leaving a step on it and not appearing. Because their knowledge of history is limited, they simply cannot refute this.

Liu Shuo looked at these book reviews with great interest, and the book review area was lively, proving that the attention of people who read comics has returned, and such discussions are meaningful, and the kind of comments that scare people as soon as they come up are hurtful and angry.
