The ideological struggle on the balcony of the small building is in the ascendant, and the little girl is still challenging the tall.

Wanyan Taoping: "Lord Mumu, we just recalled the true process of Jingkang's shame. I noticed that you frowned when I was talking about the number of Song troops in Bianjing. I know you're frowning because I said '800,000 forbidden troops.'" This matter is actually also a Song mystery. It is said that when Jing Kang was ashamed, the Song army had only 200,000 defenders. Although these 200,000 are not a lot, enough to fight the 60,000 gold soldiers who came to attack, not to mention, only 30,000 of these 60,000 gold soldiers are soldiers, and the other half are non-Jurchen prisoners and other auxiliary personnel who were coerced by the Jurchens. But, Lord Wang, we have all watched "Water Margin", and we all know that Lin Chong is the 'head of the 800,000 forbidden army', so does it mean that there are 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital? You frowned just now, and you also have a different opinion on what I said about the '800,000 forbidden army', in fact, the '800,000 forbidden army' with differences is also one of the causes of the Northern Song Dynasty.

We know that in the Song Dynasty, the forbidden army refers to a group of soldiers who are the most elite soldiers, who are composed of the strongest people in the army, pay attention to training, and are different from the Xiang army. This forbidden army has reached more than 800,000 people by the time of Song Renzong, so there is a saying of '800,000 forbidden army'.

The forbidden army was generally stationed in the north centered on Bianliang, the capital division, and during the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers went south, and most of the forbidden army had moved closer to Kyoto. There are many teams that go directly to the capital. Although, some of the '800,000 forbidden troops' are in the capital, some are outside the capital, some are imaginary, and some are real. However, Jin Bing did not know about this. The Jin people thought that there were still enough 800,000 forbidden troops in this Bianliang City. This, for Song, is a good thing. Zhuge Liang also sang about the empty city plan, not to mention that there are at least fifty or sixty percent of the forbidden army in the capital, so this was a way out for the Song court to save himself, but the cowardly Song court broke the truth and gave up the psychological battlefield. At that time, the Jin people had already hit the inner city, and they did not attack the city, so they were really afraid. Afterwards, the high-level officials of the Jin State were still puzzled by this, so they sent officials to ask: "I heard that there are 800,000 soldiers in the Southern Dynasty, where are they now?" Why don't you meet the enemy now?"

Shen Xuan, an official of the Song Dynasty who had been kidnapped, replied: "Scattered on all roads, you must use the spiral hook." There are about 400,000 to 500,000 people around Bianjing, and there must be large soldiers on both sides of the Yellow River to guard it, and it must not be crossed. ”

Shen Xuan was very confident, what he meant was that you lonely soldiers who fought in the Autumn Valley should have broken your head and bled in front of the iron wall. Unexpectedly, the total number of this Jin army is only 60,000, including more than 30,000 puppet armies of the Khitan, Bohai and Xi peoples.

At that time, the Song Dynasty sent the commander of the infantry army to make He Guan lead the forbidden army of 20,000 to garrison the Yellow River pontoon bridge, and sent the eunuch Liang Fangping to lead 7,000 cavalry to garrison Junzhou (now Jun County, Henan), cut off the river bridge, and guarded against the charge.

Unexpectedly, just surrendered to the Jin army's puppet army "Chang Shengjun" 2,000 people killed, Liang Fangping fled, 7,000 cavalry rushed to cross the river to escape, Chang Shengjun robbed and killed a little at the bridgehead, the Song soldiers trampled on each other, squeezed down the Yellow River and drowned thousands, and Chang Sheng's army was only 3 injured. Hehe, this is the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty! This is the evil result of the Song Dynasty's party struggle! This is the evil result of Song Tingyang's suppression of martial arts! This is the evil result of the Song Ting's deception of the people!

After Liang Fangping's cavalry collapsed, He Guan's 20,000 forbidden troops immediately retreated. I didn't want the "Changsheng Army" to pursue all the way to Bishui, and before the two armies could catch fire, Lin Chong's "good apprentices" were "shocked", that is, they were scared to bomb the camp, and they turned into 20,000 pigs...... The wolf rushed. And the "soldiers on both sides of the strait" on whom Shen Xuan pinned high hopes are even more unbearable. Does it matter if the leader of the sheep, the teammate of the pig, or the creep is a lion or not?

When the Jin army crossed the river, it only found more than 10 small boats that could sit 6 or 7 people, and it took 6 days to cross the Yellow River in waves, and it took 6 days to transport the cavalry over. The problem is, not to mention 1 or 2,000 soldiers and horses, even Emperor Huizong, who has tormented the people of the Northern Song Dynasty for decades, his first reaction is to go to Bozhou to burn incense...... Yes, you read that right, I went to the Taoist temple to burn incense, opened the gate of the capital in the middle of the night, and ran all the way.

We all know the next history, defending the city, suing for peace, and the retreat of the Jin army; Defend the city again, sue for peace again, and the Jin army will not retreat! On the 25th day of the 11th month of the second year of Jingkang (1127), the Jin army broke through Tokyo, on the second day of December, Qinzong surrendered, and in April of the following year, the Jin army returned to the north with more than 3,000 people such as Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the second emperor of Qinzong, concubines, and clans, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

Mrs. Huārui once wrote a poem: "140,000 people are all disarmed, and none of them are men!" The 100,000 troops of Houshu surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, and when the Northern Song Dynasty soldiers faced the iron hooves of the Jin State, there were indeed not many people who surrendered, but where did the men who far exceeded 800,000 go?

The Northern Song Dynasty has always had the saying of "redundant soldiers", according to Cai Xiang, who was the third envoy at the time, calculated that at the beginning of the Yingzong Dynasty, there were more than 1.18 million people in the forbidden army and box soldiers in the country, and 48 million copper coins were needed to raise soldiers, accounting for 60% ~ 70% of the total expenditure, and the country's annual income at that time was only more than 60 million.

In the last years of Song Taizu's Kaibao, the total army strength was 378,000, including 193,000 in the forbidden army (Central Army); In the fifth year of Song Renzong's Qingli calendar, the total army strength was 1,259,000, including 826,000 in the forbidden army; A few years later, in the early years of the Emperor's reign, the total number of troops had reached 1,410,000, which was also the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty's military strength that can be seen in the history books.

In the Song Zhezong Dynasty, after Wang Anshi's reform and disarmament, the total strength of the Song army was still 800,000, including 600,000 forbidden troops and 200,000 Xiang troops (local armies). Therefore, in "Water Margin", it is said that the "800,000 forbidden army" is a bit cross-passed, after all, it is about the affairs of the Huizong Dynasty, but it is the peak data of the Renzong Dynasty, but it is the general of the Jin State who made the southern expedition to do the intelligence thoroughly, knowing that the total number of troops of the Zhezong and Huizong dynasties is only "800,000 soldiers". However, even if 600,000 were cut in disarmament, where did the remaining 800,000 soldiers go when the Jin army crisscrossed both sides of the Yellow River?

The answer: eaten by the corrupt.

In the fifth year of Chongning (1106) of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council (equivalent to the General Staff + Ministry of Defense) reported that there was a shortage of 240,000 forbidden troops, 100,000 new recruits, and 140,000 were still lacking.

According to Li Gang's reflection (1127) after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were often only places in the forbidden army of the Huizong Dynasty, but they preferred to vacate vacancies rather than replenish soldiers, and there were not even half of the people in the army.

In the Zhenghe period, Song Huizong's favorite minister Tong Guan commanded the army, and only 20%~30% of the army in Hebei was left, and the remaining quota was used to eat empty salaries and save money to give to the emperor to squander. The Shaanxi region, which was originally stationed with heavy troops, was also depleted in military strength, and was besieged in Tokyo, and the reinforcements brought by the commander of the Western Army were only 15,000 people.

800,000 soldiers and horses, eat 70% ~ 80%, only about 200,000 left, deducting the defenders on the border of Shaanxi and Hebei, how many soldiers can there be in Bianliang, Tokyo, with a population of more than one million?

Not only that, but even these "men" who stayed in the army were food for the moths, which was simply insufficient.

The Taiwei Gao Yu, who was in charge of military affairs in the Huizong Dynasty, was "more forbidden troops to fill up the service." Most of the recruits are skilled craftsmen...... Whatever is built by private houses, bricks, tiles, mud, and the like are all out of the barracks. ”

Gao Taiwei pulled the field army to do the project, which was already extraordinary, and before and after the fall of the country, it became even more intensified: "The marshal ministers, the supervisors and the husbands, guards, generals, and deputies have violated the law and favoritism, so that the forbidden soldiers can learn the things of kit kat arts." Or to embroider and serve, or to weave and work, or for jewelry to play, or for painting and writing, openly occupied, sit and exempt from teaching, the name of the army, and the ranks do not know, as a warrior, and the attack and defense are unpredictable. ”

The tiger wolf of the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, which once swept away the Ten Kingdoms, turned out to be embroidery, silk weaving, jewelry, and painting for the leaders at this time......

It is no wonder that Song Qinzong, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, admitted in his edict: "Today, the three yas and the generals recruit troops...... When he arrived at the military gate, he only followed him and served his craft as a profession, and in each battalion, the variegated color accounted for three or four of the ten, and he did not return to teaching martial arts."

The main force of the country's Central Army, after recruiting, is not to train soldiers and practice martial arts, but to be bodyguards and learn crafts, the proportion can account for 30%~40% of the total, or is it a "secret" that even the emperor knows, not to mention funny?

Taken together, how many soldiers can there be in the huge Northern Song Dynasty? How many people are available? It can be said that the corrupt elements that can be seen everywhere in the army of the Northern Song Dynasty have personally damaged the country's embankments, and occasionally a wave of big waves hit, which is the tragedy of the dam destroying and people dying.

Lord Mumu, you just caught a situation in Hangzhou, Su Shi engaged in an eyeball project, built a qíng color West Lake, and shamelessly expanded the Su Causeway of five or six miles into thirty miles, which is a typical example of civil officials eating 'empty salary', which is a manifestation of the corruption of the civil official group. This kind of atmosphere, in the Song Dynasty, has a history, there is a heritage, the Song Dynasty for the false harmony, let their own Great Wall become a tofu scum project, and it is a shrunken tofu dregs, is a fake empty tofu dregs. This kind of tofu dregs, even if it doesn't meet the torrent, will be fat for a long time, and its own weight will ruin itself.

So, to sum up, Lord Mumu, tell yourself, whose shame is this Jingkang's shame? Is it shameful that Jin Bing is ashamed? Burn, kill and loot! However, if the Song State is strong, the country is rich and the people are strong, the whole country is united, the order is prohibited, the people are united, and they will never give up. Then, the Jin soldiers on the opposite side will also retreat and retreat with interest, and the wicked are really instigated by others. According to me, Jingkang is shameful, the Jin people are shameless, and the Song people are even more shameless, betraying the country above, stealing the country below, going abroad in the middle, flattering the enemy country, no one loves the country, no one saves the country. This, the country will also be the country? ……”
