Chapter 198: Is the Southern Song Dynasty militarily weak?
However, Song Qinzong listened to the slanderous rumors of the traitorous ministers and deposed Li Gang, and the Jin soldiers besieged Bianjing, but they were unable to resist and surrendered directly out of the city. caused the "Jingkang Change", was captured by the Jin people and went north, and finally the great country of the Northern Song Dynasty was buried in the hands of these two masters. ”
During the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers broke through Bianliang, so far, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Huizong, rebuilt the Song Dynasty, because the capital was Lin'an, so it was called the "Southern Song Dynasty". ”
"Although the Southern Song Dynasty has long been located south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, it is a dynasty with a high degree of economic and cultural prosperity and openness to the outside world in history, and the direct cause of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is the devastating blow of the nomadic peoples to the advanced production relations of the Song Dynasty, so that the advanced civilization of the East, which has been in the rising stage, has gradually declined."
"Song Gaozong, named Zhao Gou, is the son of Song Huizong."
"After the Jin army captured the second emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong rejected the main battle faction and fled to Lin'an to establish the Southern Song Dynasty."
"During his reign, he was forced to appoint anti-Jin generals Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and reused Qin Hui and other surrender factions."
"In the process of resisting Jin, Song Gaozong once again sued for peace with humiliating conditions such as ceding land, paying tribute, and claiming to be a vassal, took back Han Shizhong's military power, and killed the general Yue Fei."
"In 1161 AD, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty repented and started a war against the Southern Song Dynasty again.
"The following year, Song Gaozong abdicated and proclaimed himself Emperor Taishang, who lived to be incompetent all his life, but lived to be eighty-one years old and died of illness in 1187 AD."
"Song Ningzong, after he succeeded to the throne, rewarded meritorious heroes, restored the honor of Yue Fei, who was persecuted to death, and abolished Qin Hui's official position, which is applauding."
In 1206 AD, Han Yanxuan suffered a crushing defeat due to careless Northern Expedition, and was later killed by Empress Yang. After the death of Han Yanxuan, the imperial court fell into the hands of the lord and faction. ”
Two years later, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty again signed the humiliating "Jiading Peace Agreement". ”
"In 1224 AD, Song Ningzong died of illness at the age of fifty-seven."
"Song Lizong, the adopted son of Song Ningzong, after Song Ningzong died of illness, supported by Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, Song Lizong successfully ascended the throne."
"But after becoming the emperor, Song Lizong ignored the government and left everything to the prime minister, and he himself was addicted to wine."
"In 1233 AD, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan died of illness, and Song Lizong had no choice but to preside over the government in person."
"Later, the Mongol army destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and Song Lizong was obsessed with science, was not good at understanding people, and promoted traitorous ministers."
"In 1259 AD, the Mongol army invaded the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty's powerful minister Jia Rudao groveled, called the minister and paid tribute, and sought stability."
"In 1264 AD, Song Lizong died of illness at the age of sixty."
"Song Duzong, named Zhao Ming, was originally the nephew of the previous emperor, and was later adopted as an adopted son."
"After Song Duzong succeeded to the throne, he was incompetent, absurd, credulous, gullible and slanderous, and reused the powerful minister Jia Nidao, and finally simply handed over the government to Jia Nidao."
"The Yuan soldiers attacked the Southern Song Dynasty and besieged Xiangyang for two years, but Jia seemed to know and did not report it, and lied to Song Duzong that the Yuan army had withdrawn, and the real situation was that the Song Dynasty had reached the point of survival, but Song Duzong was still kept in the dark."
"In 1274, Emperor Duzong of Song died of illness at the age of thirty-five at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Then the Southern Song Dynasty also experienced three emperors, each of whom ruled for no more than two years."
Qin Shi Huang: This is the problem between the two Great Song Dynasty, Song Taizu should also see it!
Zhu Yuanzhang: There were many famous literati in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Su Shi, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang, but there were many famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, which may be the result of the unfair reform of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Zhu Di: During the Northern Song Dynasty, the people were often ashamed of being soldiers and proud of studying, so that they ignored the importance of national defense forces, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by foreign enemies in two years, but the Southern Song Dynasty held on for more than 100 years before dying.
"Maybe he's scared! knows the story of how Zhao Kuangyin took back the power of his subordinates, and it can be seen here that he is too worried about the usurpation of power by military generals. ”
"During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there was a flood of military generals, as long as there were soldiers in his hands, he was not afraid to see the Son of Heaven, and rebellion was the norm, not to mention, Zhao Kuangyin started by mutiny, and naturally did not want others to rely on mutiny to seize his country, I think Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that others would rebel against him, so he suppressed the generals."
"The direct consequence of too much military suppression is that the Northern Song Dynasty army has a large general, so that the Jin army did not encounter too much resistance, and then destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, perhaps Zhao Kuangyin really died too early, if he can live a few more years, he should be able to see this problem solved when he fights."
Kublai Khan: This Southern Song Dynasty is not as weak as everyone thinks, so many battle-hardened generals, I can only say that the Southern Song Dynasty is not so easy to deal with, but underestimated our growth.
Yongzheng: The opponent of the Southern Song Dynasty is your Yuan Dynasty, right? You guys are really fierce, and my opinion is that the Southern Song Dynasty is not weak, but I haven't met a few emperors who can take charge of things.
As an army that swept across the Eurasian continent, the Mongol army easily destroyed opponents such as Jin, Western Xia, Liao, and Russian principalities, but it took more than 60 years to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty. That's just that the opponent is too strong, and I have never felt that the Southern Song Dynasty was weak in military terms!
"Are our generals in the Central Plains weak? The Central Plains has never produced weak people, as a Chinese nation, from the original tribal alliance in the Yellow River Valley, to the largest empire in East Asia, I am afraid that no one thinks that the Han people are too weak to fight. If it weren't for the fact that the Mongolian region was not suitable for the Han Chinese to live in, it would have been occupied a long time ago, and there would have been a day when the Mongol army invaded the Central Plains. ”
Fusu: Even if the Southern Song Dynasty has strong military ability, but they don't have a better emperor, what about the Northern Song Dynasty, I listened to the merits of several princes, in general, the nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the emperors are still relatively good, Taizu Taizong laid down the country, Zhenzong Renzong created a prosperous era, Yingzong was the turning point of the Northern Song Dynasty's decline, Shenzong Zhezong made great efforts, only the mediocrity and incompetence of the last Hui and Qin Erzong buried the great beauty of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Liu Bang: Just like what Miss Zhang said when she began to introduce the second generation of the pit, in addition to Taizu, the Great Song Dynasty also had a benevolent government, and most of the others were mediocre, so it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with this sentence, the overall strength of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was relatively balanced, but most of them were the lords of the mean, and they really did nothing to be an emperor.
"Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was the master of a generation, it was a brilliant era in the history of Chinese culture, and it was an era of stars."
"Several celebrities are too familiar, in my later life, a lot of their deeds were filmed on TV, and one of my favorite TVs is "Young Bao Qingtian", which mainly tells the story of Bao Zheng solving the case, which is really good-looking."
