Chapter 203: After Reading the 319-Year History of the Song Dynasty in One Breath (9)

[During the reign of Zhao Ji, the Northern Song Dynasty, faced an unprecedented crisis.

The country's economic situation is declining day by day, the army's combat effectiveness is weak, and the Liao Dynasty and Western Xia on the border are also eyeing each other, and the situation is worrying.

In order to save the Northern Song Dynasty from the crisis of rule, Song Shenzong Zhao decided to take action.

He appointed Wang Anshi, a famous minister of the reformers, as the prime minister and implemented the reform of the law, which was called "Wang Anshi's reform" by later generations.

Wang Anshi was a visionary reformer who firmly believed that the prosperity of the country could be achieved through reform.

As a result, he introduced a series of new policies aimed at strengthening the country's revenues, increasing the combat effectiveness of the army, and improving the living conditions of the population.

However, these new policies have met with strong opposition from conservatives.

Conservatives are powerful, and they believe that these changes will disrupt the social order and threaten their interests.

Song Shenzong Zhao Wei was shaken by the opposition of these conservatives, and his determination to change the law began to change.

Despite this, Song Shenzong did not give up his dream of reform.

He personally presided over the reform of the Yuan Feng system and continued to promote the reform of the country. This reform strengthened the country's economic and military strength to a certain extent.

In 1082, with the increase of national strength, Song Shenzong turned his attention to external troubles. He took advantage of the turmoil in Western Xia to launch the Third Song-Xia War.

However, the outcome of the war was not satisfactory, and the Northern Song Dynasty suffered a heavy defeat in the Battle of Yongle City, losing hundreds of thousands of troops.

When the news of the defeat reached Kaifeng, Song Shenzong Zhao Ji felt very sad.

He wept bitterly in the court, unable to hide his sadness and disappointment.

The defeat in this war took a heavy toll on his psyche and his physical condition deteriorated as a result. Soon after, Song Shenzong Zhao Ji died of illness at the age of 38. 】

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang saw the video on the canopy, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

Although the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, it did not have the force to open up to the outside world, so it could only suppress itself all the time.

Moreover, the two reforms ended in failure, and I am afraid that there will be no more heart for reform in the future, so we can only continue in the original mode.

His Great Qin's Shang Ying Reform Law was also extremely difficult to implement back then, but he succeeded in Great Qin.

If it weren't for the success of Shang Ying's reform back then, I'm afraid that he Daqin would not have the strength to compete for hegemony with the Six Kingdoms.

And he is now able to eliminate the Six Kingdoms and unify the world, also because of the foundation laid at that time.

However, the situation in the world was changing, and after he unified the six kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang felt more and more that the previous policies were more of an obstacle to the present.

Especially after the appearance of the canopy, more knowledge and concepts impacted Daqin, and also impacted the previous policies.

In order to adapt to the current situation, especially absorbing the policies of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang was also seeking innovation and change.

Just how does it work? It will take time to test.

Han dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at the video on the canopy, he felt sorry for this Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for the congenital deficiencies of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the reform of the Great Song Dynasty would be successful.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty may usher in new glory in a different way.

But how can a country without force cope with the rapid changes in the world?

Unlike his big man, if there is a contradiction in the country, he can use strong force to divert the contradiction.

And it's a pity that this emperor's health is not very good, and he died after only living 38 years old?

At first glance, I didn't exercise much, which caused my body to be so weak.

If he was put into the Han and followed Huo Qu's illness or Wei Qing to exercise for a few months, maybe this situation would not have happened.

And if the emperor does not have firm confidence to reform, he is afraid that no matter how good the reform policy is, it will not be implemented.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were simply his negative teaching materials, making him realize once again that the country should not emphasize literature over military force?

So, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, took out a brush and wrote the contents of the canopy on a piece of paper.

He hoped that what he saw could bring some inspiration to his children's notes, so that when he became emperor in the future, he would not do too much.

Wang Mang watched the video on the canopy, and he said that he understood the hardships of reform very well.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been constantly reforming, but in the face of opposition from various domestic forces, it is really a headache for him.

However, if the imperial court is not reformed, it will slowly decay and eventually perish.

After all, people are in front of interests, and the future is not worth seeing.

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao watched the video on the canopy, and he studied it too carefully.

After all, the experience of the Song Dynasty was an opportunity for him to learn.

At the same time, he believes that the failure of the reform of the Song Dynasty is due to the fact that his ears are soft and he is easy to shake his beliefs.

The other is that the steps are too big, and when there is no result, they are in a hurry to implement the whole country.

At the same time, he was also curious about what the reform policies of the Song Dynasty were, after all, these experiences were very useful, and he might even use them one day.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang looked at the video on the canopy, and became more and more disdainful of the Song Dynasty.

After all, these emperors who appeared on the canopy were much stronger than the emperors of the Ming Dynasty?

But the result is very chilling.

At the same time, he also found that every time the emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to reform, he would waver in his determination to reform under the opposition of conservatives.

If it weren't for the emperor's vacillation, I'm afraid that the reform might have succeeded.

It would be strange if such an emperor could succeed in reform.

Tang dynasty.

When Li Shimin saw the video on the canopy, he felt more pity in his heart.

After all, at this time, Huaxia is already in a remote corner.

If the Song Dynasty did not rise, I am afraid that China will reproduce the situation of the Northern Dynasty.

The Han people of the entire country will once again become two-legged sheep in the eyes of the surrounding forces.

Although this Song Dynasty is a later dynasty, and Li Shimin hopes that this Song Dynasty will rise so that the Han people will not be inferior to others.

At the same time, he once again set his sights on the battlefield with Goguryeo.

As the war with Goguryeo intensified, countless soldiers from the two countries began to fight face-to-face on the battlefield, and corpses were all over the battlefield.

Is it cruel?

It's brutal!

However, if Goguryeo is not solved now, then the Tang Dynasty will face a steady stream of border threats, just like the Song Dynasty.

In order to prevent this situation in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin hoped to settle all border disputes during his lifetime.

Beat all the forces around you until they are all obedient.

And Li Shimin's ambition is not only like this, he also hopes to expand the territory for future generations in his lifetime.

Just as he was thinking, the drums of war on the battlefield sounded again, and his army of the Tang Dynasty began to march towards the enemy's town again.

Countless soldiers rushed to the front, rushing towards the enemy without regard for their lives.
