Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are used as dogs.

Zhao Kuangyin's carefully planned Chenqiao Mutiny did not break down, and one soldier seized imperial power from the orphans and widows of Emperor Chai Zongxun of Later Zhou Gong; The Northern Song Dynasty was maintained for 167 years and was overturned by the Jurchens' iron cavalry.

King Kang Zhao Gou inherited his ancestral business and successfully restored the country in the southeast corner, and the Southern Song Dynasty regime lasted 152 years before being destroyed by the Mongols.

The two Song regimes followed 300 and 19 years of disappearance, and the way of disappearance was strikingly similar to Zhao Kuangyin's seizure of the Later Zhou regime; The difference is that Prime Minister Lu Xiufu was killed by throwing himself into the sea with the late Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Yu, and the little emperor was only nine years old when he died.

During the existence of the two Song Dynasty regimes, the imperial court greatly promoted the imperial examination, and the whole people practiced literature; Everyone respects Confucius and Mencius, and every family recites poetry and books; The people are the most educated in any history.

However, the economically prosperous and culturally prosperous regimes of the Song Dynasty were eventually destroyed by the Jurchen and Mongol barbarian peoples, which is rare in human history.

The advanced was also beaten by fat? Backwardness does not necessarily ruin the country? The bizarre paradox directly refers to the statecraft of thriving in literature and failing in literature.

Just imagine, what kind of ending does a robber armed with a steel gun face the old master Confucius who is also a child? A discerning person knows at a glance that the robber is the final victor, and the reason why Confucius is defeated; It is the premise that there is no armed force to back it up.

The two Song Dynasty experienced 18 emperors, so they naturally understood the truth that martial arts could determine the country; However, the ancestral testament is the foundation of the country, and Zhao Guangyi, the Song Taizong who made the testament, should be the culprit.

Zhao Guangyi killed his second brother Zhao Kuangyin in "Candlelight Axe Shadow", and ascended to the throne in the mystery of the "Golden Alliance"; But the root of the dynasty's demise was sown:

One is that the army in the war was remotely commanded by Zhao Guangyi sitting in the palace thousands of miles away.

This kind of stupid pig-like command, even if it is a military genius, will lead to failure before there is no modern communication tool, let alone Zhao Guangyi, who does not understand military command.

Zhao Guangyi didn't know himself or the other, he didn't know the topography of the frontline, but drew a formation map in the palace, and praised himself as a complete array map; Ordering the troops in front to carry out, it is strange that such a blind command of the army is undefeated.

The second is that there are never generals who command the overall situation in large and small battles, and all military horses act alone; This is bound to fail, and it is difficult to produce a prestigious general in the army.

The third is to allow the military to relax discipline and neglect punishment for officers and men who do not carry out military orders; Big things have turned into small things.

Fourth, civilian officials are the main officers who command the army on the border front, and civilian officials supervise military attachés; Military attachés are subject to civilian officials everywhere, resulting in the loss of the army's combat effectiveness.

Fifth, the military can do business. The military, which is proficient in business, is not thinking about maintaining border defense, but thinking about how to make money.

The military can do business since Zhao Kuangyin was emperor, but Zhao Guangyi made some harmful changes to the border defense - abolishing the right of the governor of the border area to use local financial revenues to consolidate the border defense, thus limiting the initiative of the governor of the border area.

During the Zhao Kuangyin period, the border chief could buy intelligence with money, or send spies to the enemy to spy on the enemy's situation; As soon as Zhao Guangyi reformed the cucumber dish, it was cold, and the border generals could only be monks for one day and hit the clock for one day; Sometimes even the bell doesn't want to hit it, how can you defend against a strong enemy?

During the Song and Song dynasties, the emperor's control over the army was unprecedented, but the behavior of the whole society changed with each passing day.

Poetry is not only popular in prosperous metropolises such as Bianliang, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou; Even in the remote countryside, the farmer's family is happy to teach his children.

In the city and countryside, there is a school in five steps, and a school in ten steps, reciting the twilight strings, and the ears are full of joy; And so on.

The two Song Dynasty court's great revival of literati governance, neglect of military generals, training of the army and poor horse policy all planted the seeds for the collapse of the country, and the emperor's dictatorship and the bad habits of the official standard of civil officials ruined the Jingxiu rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty.

During the Song and Song dynasties, the status of civil officials and military attaches was worlds apart; Military attachés of the same rank salute when they see civilian officials, and the money and food in various places are controlled by civilian officials and supervise military generals.

Such a situation naturally provided a place for civilian officials to display their talents, but military generals became a kind of puppet that was not welcomed.

The initiator of the formation of such a storm is naturally Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Guangyi, the stinky chess basket, is the culprit.

Since the "Anshi Rebellion" of the Tang Dynasty in China to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, if there are soldiers, they will be called kings, and they will be emperors if they occupy an area; The emperor takes turns, and it will be the norm to come to my house next year.

The huge material damage and civilization damage caused by the warrior warlord group cannot be calculated, the whole society has no order, no construction, no sense of loyalty to the monarch and the country, and those who hold military power will change the emperor as soon as they are unsatisfied; Having a heavy army is king.

Zhao Kuangyin planned the Chenqiao Mutiny in the intricate warlord division, and it was a kind of shrewdness to ascend to the throne without losing a single soldier after Huang Paojia's death.

Zhao Kuangyin, who became the emperor, seized the military power with a glass of wine with ingenuity, and still took the scattered military power back to the central government without making any move; The front of the palace division, the guard pro-army horse army division, the guard pro-army infantry division and the privy council were set up to restrain each other, and the emperor directly commanded the army; But it also brings the disadvantage of not knowing the generals and not knowing the soldiers.

Zhao Kuangyin's reign of 16 years can be described as a spring breeze and a horse's hoof, but a "candlelight axe shadow" ended the 50-year-old life, leaving a "Golden Alliance" for future generations to dismantle for more than 1,000 years without an accurate answer.

There is no mystery that can only show that the cat is too deep, and Zhao Laosan can play with life better than Zhao Laoer.

Zhao Laosan ascended to the emperor's throne in the Golden Kui Alliance, and his name became Zhao Guangyi; The temple number is Taizong.

Zhao Laosan of Song Taizong has been a controversial emperor for 22 years, and people are waiting for the alliance of Jinkui - brother to brother and a scene to appear; Zhao Lao Si Tingmei is also ready to take over.

But the brilliance of the red sun does not shine on Zhao Laosi, what awaits him is the embarrassing ending of cutting officials and dying of depression for the people.

Zhao Kuangyin's two sons, Zhao Defang and Zhao Dezhao, saw that their fourth father Zhao Tingmei was cut, and the only remaining emperor dream could only be thrown into the garbage heap of history.

After Zhao Laosan cut off his fourth brother Zhao Tingmei, he passed the throne to his third son, and Zhao Laosan became Lao Zhao Laosan.

Lao Zhao Laosan passed on the throne and Xiao Zhao Laosan reimbursed two sons in a row before, and Xiao Zhao's succession was also a helpless choice.

Shangcang doesn't seem to be waiting to see Lao Zhao Laosan, a stinky chess basket, and from time to time he pickles a few pieces of tile slag with a few stones; After Zhao Ji, the descendant of Lao Zhao Laosan, became emperor, he and his son Zhao Huan of Qinzong were captured by the Jurchens; The Northern Song Dynasty perished.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji's son Zhao Gou established the Southern Song Dynasty and continued the foundation of Lao Zhao Laosan, but Zhao Gou had no descendants and had to choose Zhao Tuan, the seventh grandson of Lao Zhao, as the heir; That is Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty.

History is an astonishing coincidence, the two Song Dynasty existed for 319 years; Lao Zhao's second branch and leaf, 9 people have been emperors; Lao Zhao Laosan's side is also 9 descendants of the emperor.

The descendants of Lao Zhao and the third have died once, and the descendants of Lao Zhao and the second have also died in the second country; Lao Zhao's second brother and Lao Zhao's third brother are even.

This is the Song Dynasty, a dynasty that people hate, love, and sigh at the same time.

At the land level, the land area of the Northern Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin was only 2.5 million square kilometers, which was only one-sixth of the 15 million square kilometers of the Tang Dynasty; 10th of the 2,560 square kilometers of the Han Dynasty.

The territory of the Southern Song Dynasty established by Zhao was even smaller, with only 1.8 million square kilometers.

However, the economic scale of the two Song Dynasty was far greater than that of the Qiang Han and Tang Dynasty.

The population of the two Song Dynasty also opened a historical precedent, during the reign of Zhao Ji of Huizong of the Song Dynasty; The country's population has surpassed the 100 million mark.

Such a powerful and majestic country was defeated twice by the barbarians Di Khitans, Jurchens, Dangxiang people, and Mongols; It's staggering.

From a military perspective, the two Song dynasties were inferior to the Khitans, Jurchens, Western Xia, and Mongols; The two Song Dynasty armies were repeatedly defeated in battles with the grassland peoples, and they were defeated again and again; In the end, you can only use money to settle things; But the barbarian desires cannot be filled with money.

Under the grim situation of being embattled, the two Song Dynasty courts still stubbornly followed the ancient precepts; Implement the absurd national policy of emphasizing literature over military force and the stupid pig style of ignorant soldiers; I dig my own grave, and God can't help it.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was born in the army, and he knows the truth of winning the world immediately and ruling the world under the horse; As a result, a series of measures were formulated to honor the literati.

The Song Dynasty vigorously developed the imperial examination and completely abolished the restrictions on the family line; Outstanding children of all classes of society are allowed to take the entrance examination.

Fan Zhongyan, Li Gang, Yue Fei, Zong Ze, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, etc. were all born in the imperial examination.

Once these scholars from poor families ascended to the top, they had a loyal and patriotic heart.

The rulers of the Song Dynasty had great respect for the literati and were not allowed to kill scholars and scholars. It is also very rich.

The world mostly called the Song Dynasty the politics of scholars, encouraged by a series of heavy measures; The Song Dynasty began to prevail in reading.

The "Prodigy Poem" read by children in the Song Dynasty begins with the words: Everything is inferior, only reading is high.

This policy greatly promoted the development of science and culture in the Song Dynasty, such as astronomy, mathematics, medicine, gunpowder, compass, movable type printing, shipbuilding technology, etc., and made great contributions to the development of science and technology in the world.

During the Song Dynasty, literature and art also developed to a new level, and many writers, painters and lyricists emerged.

The masterpieces and masterpieces of the Song Dynasty have become the shining pearls in the treasure house of world culture.

The Song Dynasty naturally emphasized literature over military force, and the policy of light military force was first manifested in the military leadership system; The power to hold troops, the power to transfer troops, and the power to command troops are divided into three.

The front division of the palace, the division of the guard horse, and the division of the guard infantry are separated, and all of them have the power of the army, but they have no right to transfer troops.

The Privy Council has the power to transfer troops, so that the power to command troops and the power to transfer troops are mutually checked; Both were under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, ensuring that military power was subordinate to the emperor's center of gravity.

At the same time, the army implements the method of changing the army, so that the generals and commanders who command the army are regularly transferred and exchange defense areas; Avoid the commander cultivating his own forces to form a small group.

Although the policy of light military force effectively prevented the generals from supporting their own troops and consolidated the centralization of power; But it also had an adverse effect, and the enthusiasm of the military attaché was dealt a fatal blow; Seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the army and the strength of national defense.

The weak national defense forces of the two Song Dynasty did not win a few battles in the wars against Liao, Western Xia, Jin, and Mongolia, and could only humiliate and tolerate and sue for peace.

Even in the face of national disasters, the emperor's suspicion of military generals has always been the same; As a result, Yue Fei's wish to serve the country with loyalty failed, and he was killed by the imperial court on "trumped-up" charges.

The military poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty was an ideal state of long-term peace and stability that was achieved by learning the lessons of the previous generations and doing everything possible; However, it backfired, and the two Song Dynasty, which had a very high degree of civilization, were finally defeated by the backward steppe Yidi.

Is the grassland civilization better than the agricultural civilization? Excited in the text and defeated in the text? Yes, yes, so far there is no conclusive conclusion......
