Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

After Zhao Kuangyi saw this, he trembled with anger. This was the first time he felt ashamed. Even when he was taking stock of Zhao Gou, he didn't feel this way.

"It's really embarrassing. Is there so much waste in my Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help being exhausted: "Qinzong is certainly hateful, but Huizong, what are you doing?"

"Could it be that you also eat dry food? I don't know whose son Huizong is, and how the emperor was chosen!"

Just when Zhao Kuangyi was cursing, all the emperors on the platform even lost their voices. Their actions towards Huizong and Qinzong couldn't be summed up completely with a wimp.

"Is this the emperor of the Song Dynasty? It's like two old children playing house, the ass decides the behavior of the head."

"Millions of Great Song Kaifeng, don't even have a bit of resistance?"

Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty once read the history books of the Song Dynasty, especially the records of Jingkang shame several times.He couldn't figure out why Kaifeng, the most prosperous capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, with millions of people and wealth, had no resistance when it finally faced the invasion of the Jin people.

In fact, Kaifeng, where millions of people live, is difficult to build a strong internal resistance and defense if there is no external reinforcements when danger comes.

Not to mention the food, clothing, housing and transportation of millions of people, daily drinking water is a major problem. In addition, due to the influence of the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs, while retaining the necessary defensive forces in the capital, the rulers of the Song Dynasty were rigorous and spontaneous. Arming and training the necessary reserves.

And most importantly, the blindly passive resistance policy of the ruling class was the most fundamental reason for the demise of the Song Dynasty.

Next, let us analyze what is the historical reason that really led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty?
If Huizong and Qinzong were the protagonists leading to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, then the founding emperors Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi were the forerunners who buried the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi, who had been following the live broadcast of the platform, were taken aback suddenly: "Does the platform think that Song's demise was doomed when the country was first established?"

"It's ridiculous. The demise of the Song Dynasty in later generations was due to the incompetence of the descendants. How can we blame us?" Zhao Kuangyi blushed involuntarily. To point it out directly, even he, the emperor, could not help but feel extremely embarrassed in the eyes of all the officials.

"It's a bunch of nonsense! The stocktakers on this platform rely entirely on their own subjective consciousness as their motives, it's just random imagination!"

Huizong and Qinzong were also gloomy. In this plane dynasty, they had already become slaves of the Kingdom of Jin, but unexpectedly, the platform would not let them go.

"We're all already like this, isn't that enough?"

Seeing the inventory in the sky mirror, the civil and military ministers of the Kingdom of Jin could not help but sneer and said: "Let the people of the whole plane dynasty see you two useless father and son. It is a shame to have you in the Song Dynasty!"

"I really don't understand how the two of you came to sit on the position of emperor. Are the people in the Central Plains just like you two trash?"

"If I were the two of you, I'd just find a piece of tofu and kill you."

Huizong and Qinzong were said to be blushing, and when they were about to get angry, they were greeted with a burst of whips. A group of golden men surrounded the two emperors, their eyes were full of green light: "Why, still want to crawl for a walk?" One lap?"

The inventory is played slowly:

After the Chenqiao mutiny, in order to prevent military generals from monopolizing power, Zhao Kuangyin began to implement the policy of civil servants governing the country. The imperial power and scholar-bureaucrats governed the world together, which was the preferred policy of the Song Dynasty.On the basis of emphasizing civil servants, the Northern Song Dynasty began to recruit a large number of troops, resulting in a situation of redundant troops, and there were many gangsters in the army. The direct result was that the combat effectiveness was very weak and the country's financial burden was extremely heavy.

As for the political system implemented in the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin did not make major changes, but looking at the historical process, in the development of feudal society, the division of administrative regions was the product of the emergence of a centralized political system, but in the Song Dynasty, The administrative system stopped.

This also left a hidden danger for the later Song Dynasty's rule in administrative divisions.

The rulers of the later Song Dynasty, according to the needs of the rule, began to uniformly divide the administrative regions.
At this time, the country was already stable, and the stability of the political territory hindered the sudden reforms, and the disadvantages of them continued to emerge, and the society once appeared in a chaotic and dilapidated situation.

In the early and mid-Northern Song Dynasty, land annexation became more and more serious, and class contradictions became sharper. More and more peasants began to stage uprisings, hoping to seek survival and development.

Faced with the long-term shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi and others in the early stage also implemented reforms, and the most worthy of advocacy was Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal.

The New Deal requires a strict promotion system for officials, restrictions on being an official, and emphasis on the selection of bureaucrats. On the basis of strengthening local power management, corvee labor is also reduced, so as to reduce the burden on the people.But even so, it still couldn't change the situation of redundant soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty, nor could it save the poverty and weakness in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the end, because it touched the interests of conservative bureaucrats, it was obstructed and destroyed by them.

And the power of conservative bureaucrats is so great, precisely because the early Northern Song Dynasty followed the administrative division system of the previous dynasty, leaving behind the original bureaucratic system, resulting in the later development process, the branches are scattered and complicated. .

The corruption of the political system, the huge power of the old bureaucracy, coupled with the growing political incompetence, and the exclusion of military commanders everywhere, the accumulation of these factors will inevitably lead to continuous wrangling of domestic conflicts. This is the court policy throughout the Song Dynasty.

This is also the root of the demise of the Song Dynasty from the very beginning.

This concludes the video review.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi fell silent. They were both military generals of the previous dynasty, and they won the world at a very small price. Naturally, they were very wary of generals.

However, many warlord groups left over from the previous dynasty did not carry out major rectification, and the later dynasties continued to use the old system. After the ruling class of the Song Dynasty realized the disadvantages, they did not know how to start.

The rulers of all dynasties, on the basis of selecting successors, considered stability more than forging ahead.This is not only a disadvantage of the Song Dynasty, but also a disadvantage of the entire Chinese history.

Confucianism and literature disrupt the law. In this case, the situation can still be saved, and chivalrous use of martial arts to break the law is really a headache for the ruling class.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, civil servants were allowed to disrupt the country, but military commanders were not allowed to monopolize power.

The situation that generals do not recognize soldiers, and soldiers do not recognize generals is the result of the inability to optimize the overall military strength of the Song Dynasty.

[End of stocktaking]

[Due to the performance of Huizong and Qinzong, the platform will not give punishment or reward. 】

[The broadcast of the video is to reawaken Da Song's fighting spirit. 】

Zhao Gou, who had been looking at the inventory all the time, couldn't help but sigh after the platform gave this suggestion. Huizong and Qinzong seem to have passed away. What he has to do is to change the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty little by little from now on. situation.

Because he has to face not only internal factors, but also Meng Yuan, who is eyeing the north.
