Chapter 196: After Reading the 319-Year History of the Song Dynasty in One Breath (2)

Song dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin saw the introduction of himself on the canopy, and he covered his forehead with his hand.

He didn't expect that what he did would be exposed by Tianmu.

He believed that after tomorrow, the story of his bullying of orphans and widows would be spread all over the world.

At the same time, he complained a little about those generals, if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have been in a yellow robe, and he wouldn't have appeared in the sky to be seen by the world.

It's just that this matter has passed, and there is no way to change it, he can only do a good job as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, let those forces that are divided on one side surrender, and let the people of the world gradually become rich.

At the same time, he also wants to take back the 16 states of Yanyun, so that the north of the Great Song Dynasty has a place to defend.

For a few glasses of wine to release the military power, he didn't feel that he was doing it wrong.

After all, he is the emperor in the yellow robe, and he is also afraid that those generals will learn from him, in which case he will not be able to sit on the throne steadily.

As for the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, it was really because he saw the end of the Tang Dynasty turning from prosperity to decline in its heyday, so he set such a national policy.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, he had to learn the lessons of the fall of the Tang Dynasty in order to let the Great Song Dynasty go long.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw that he had entertained his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, he died mysteriously, and his face suddenly turned dark.

After all, he never thought of establishing a crown prince, but he was afraid that his younger brother would ascend the throne with the "Golden Alliance" at that time.

And his children and grandchildren will never be able to take the throne again.

But fortunately, the canopy had already burst out, and his younger brother was sent by him to the south to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, and he never had the throne again.

At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he should set up a prince first, in case after his death, there would be no one to inherit his throne.

So he gave the order and summoned the group to consult together, hoping to negotiate an outcome.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the video on the canopy, and he didn't express any opinions.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the world has always looked at strength, not other things.

He was able to sit on this throne from a beggar, and he used strength, not those opportunistic strategies.

And this throne can only be controlled by one step, one footprint.

If he was like Zhao Kuangyin, he bullied the orphan and widow to become the emperor, I was afraid that he would have been ousted from power by that Hu Yong.

At the same time, he also learned from the experience of the fall of the Song Dynasty, and you expect those generals to be able to rest with the country, and even divide their sons into feudal lands in various parts of the country.

If it weren't for the disadvantages of separating his son in various places like this on the canopy, I'm afraid that he is still persisting in the execution.

And now that he knew about this evil, he began to divide his son in that foreign country.

You hope that they will be able to lend a helping hand when the Ming Dynasty is falling.

The people of the various dynasties saw the video on the canopy, and they felt that they had heard the best gossip.

After all, royal affairs have never been known to ordinary people.

However, exposing Zhao Kuangyin's experience this time made them deeply satisfied their curiosity about the royal family.

They felt that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was the same as ordinary people.

The same is true of their people, if any ethnic group really has orphans and widows, there will also be so-called relatives to take advantage.

[After the death of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, his younger brother Zhao Guangyi successfully inherited the throne and became the famous Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

He inherited and developed his brother's unification cause, employing a clever strategy to force the surrender of Chen Hongjin and Wu Yue's previous rulers who had seized Fujian.

Subsequently, Song Taizong personally led a large army and successfully destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, ending the half-century-long division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

In order to recapture the 16 states of Yanyun ceded to the Liao Dynasty by the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao during the Five Dynasties period, Song Taizong decided to take advantage of the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty and launched a large-scale northern expedition to the Liao State.

However, due to tactical mistakes and too much rush for quick success, the Song army suffered heavy losses in the battle, and even Song Taizong himself fled in a donkey cart due to defeat.

Only two years later, Song Taizong sent another 200,000 troops in an attempt to recapture the 16 states of Yanyun through a surprise attack.

However, this time the result was equally disappointing, and the Song army was defeated again. Many outstanding generals such as Yang Ye were captured and finally died of hunger strike.

This defeat made the Song Dynasty shift from offensive to defensive in its relations with Liao, and also marked the beginning of the Song Dynasty's path of emphasizing literature over military force.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty vigorously promoted the imperial examination system, which significantly strengthened the atmosphere of emphasizing literature, so that the Song Dynasty gradually formed a social atmosphere of emphasizing literature over military force.

However, this also led to the gradual weakening of the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army, which laid a deep hidden danger for the later demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In 997, Song Taizong unfortunately died at the age of 59 due to old injuries in the Battle of the Gaoliang River.

His death marked the end of a history full of challenges and opportunities in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

Song dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin saw the video on the canopy, and he pushed the proposition on the table to the ground fiercely.

He didn't expect his guess to be true, and he didn't expect his younger brother to be so ambitious.

Not only that, but it also failed to attack the 16 states of Yanyun twice.

Although Zhao Kuangyin appreciated his younger brother's recovery of the southern forces, if the 16 states of Yanyun were not attacked, the northern territory would always be unstable.

And looking at what was said in the canopy, this also laid the root of his Song Dynasty's demise.

Such a mistake is simply unforgivable in Zhao Kuangyin's opinion.

Zhao Guangyi, who grew sweet potatoes and potatoes in the southern part of the Great Song Dynasty, saw the video about himself on the canopy, he was a little apprehensive, and at the same time, he understood more that he was afraid that this throne would never be away from him.

However, after all, he is Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, and it is impossible for him to be killed by his brother Zhao Kuangyin in response to the words of the canopy.

He felt that he would have to put all his mind on growing sweet potatoes and potatoes in the future, and only by planting these things well could he avoid the suspicion of his brother.

And Zhao Guangyi thought about it carefully, if he was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he was afraid that he would not abide by the "Golden Kui Alliance", but would pass on the throne to his descendants.

In that case, what could he blame his brother?

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the video on the canopy, he was very surprised, he didn't expect that the emperor of the Song Dynasty would pass the throne to his younger brother.

In his opinion, this kind of thing is simply impossible, after all, what man can resist the temptation of power.

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to resist this temptation, or he would not have let his country's army attack the six countries to unify the world.

At the same time, Qin Shi Huang was also curious, after Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother inherited the throne, who would the throne pass to?

Or did it pass it on to the children of his brother?

With this thought, Qin Shi Huang continued to watch, he was eager to know the ending.
