The video connects all worlds, and the top ten emperors are edited at the beginning

Generally speaking, the Northern Song Dynasty was a dynasty with "the country is rich and the army is weak".

But why the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was so prosperous, but the military construction was so weak?

First, the Northern Song Dynasty implemented a policy of emphasizing literature over military affairs.

Since ancient times, the rulers who have just come to power have taken a series of measures to consolidate their status and strengthen the centralization of power, so that all people in the world will submit to them, and the whole country will be their own power.

Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty was no exception.

The world of the Northern Song Dynasty was established by the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin, who supported his troops and fought on his own. Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the rights of military officers were even more restricted, and the rulers' centralization ideas were even more serious.

In order to prevent military officers from being too powerful, the Northern Song Dynasty adopted a policy of "emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs", which means that military officials did not hold great power, and all local officials were held by civil officials, and the main power was also in the hands of civil officials.

Even though Zhao Kuangyin knew that the power of civil officials would lead to serious corruption and bribery, he believed that the harm caused by corruption and bribery was not as troublesome as the self-respect of military commanders and mercenaries.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin advocated governing the country with literature and be indifferent to military affairs, but later, in the process of development of successive emperors, they gradually deviated from this direction.

The policy of "emphasizing literature over military affairs" basically limits the power of military attaches, guards them against them, and hardly trains them.

At the same time, it attaches great importance to the selection of civil officials and focuses on the training of civil officials. Even officials who are capable of civil and military skills will be subject to a lot of suspicion by the rulers.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere of restricting military officers everywhere that people at that time admired literary talent, but few advocated martial arts, resulting in the scarcity of military personnel and abnormal military development.

The civil rule advocated by the Northern Song Dynasty was guided by "Confucianism", mostly on paper, and the use of civil officials to govern the frontier was indeed convenient for the emperor to centralize power.

However, the literati had no experience in leading troops to fight, which would lead to poor command of the army and the loss of confidence of the soldiers. In addition, the literati were more corrupt, which eventually led to the weak military capabilities of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Great Qin.

"Confused, really too confused."

"Emphasis on culture and despise martial arts. A country doesn't even have the power to resist foreign enemies and protect the country. It's no wonder that it is not wiped out by the enemy."

"In the face of the invasion of the alien army, if you want to count on those scholars who are useless and useless, to be able to kill the enemy with a sword, it is simply daydreaming and whimsical!"

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng watched the inventory in the video, and he couldn't help shouting angrily.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the Seven Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, and the situation was very chaotic. However, in this era, even scholars have good martial arts skills. Not to mention killing the enemy, they must have the ability to protect themselves.

Big man.

"Hmph, what's the use of economic prosperity? If you walk without a foot, you'll have to fall hard sooner or later."

"Wen can rule the world, martial arts can secure the world, and neither civil nor military can be left behind. This is the foundation of a strong country."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said with a cold snort.

Datang.

"It's a pity. If such a prosperous and prosperous dynasty can keep up with force, it will definitely be a powerful country that can stand on the top of the world and let all nations come to court."

Tang Taizong Li Shimin couldn't help shaking his head and sighed.

Ming dynasty.

"The emperors of the Song Dynasty, except for the founding emperor, were all soft-hearted."

"If you lose, you have to pay compensation, and if you win, you have to pay compensation. No wonder the foreign race likes to bully the Song Dynasty so much. This is simply a huge profit."

"If it can't be done in one battle, in the long run, even if the Song Dynasty is rich, it will not be able to withstand such consumption."

"Therefore, to treat the alien race is to beat him to pain, to disable him, until he dare not invade again, and if possible, to destroy the alien race directly, so as to prevent future troubles."

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, and he said with a murderous intent.

Great Song.

"How, how is this possible?"

"The Great Song Dynasty that I established was actually wiped out by a foreign race in later generations?"

"Could it be that my idea is wrong? Shouldn't we emphasize civility over martial arts?"

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin looked at the picture in the video, he fell into self-doubt, and said to himself.

At this time, the frontal screen in the video played again.

I saw that an emperor wearing a dragon robe stepped up to the supreme position under the congratulations of civil and military officials, and sat down under the dragon chair throne.

However, in the blink of an eye, the foreign army drove straight in, approaching the city, quickly broke through the capital, and captured the emperor.

The emperor had just ascended the throne and became an emperor, but he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye, and his fall was extremely rapid.

"The golden man went south to his father's Zen seat,"

"The ability of the son to inherit the father's karma?"

"Indecisiveness and lack of judgment,"

"Jingkang's change of father and son captive."

Chen Feng's deep voice sounded.

"Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, the ninth emperor of the Song Dynasty, also the subjugated emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, the eldest son of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's mother and brother, and his mother Xiangong Empress Wang."

"In the third year of Yuanfu, Zhao Huan was born in the Palace of Kunning. His initial name was Zhao Quan, and he was granted the title of Duke of South Korea. Year, worship Kaifeng Mu."

"Shortly after, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty gave up his throne and changed Yuan to Jingkang. Qinzong and Huizong listened to the slander of treacherous ministers and dismissed Li Gang. The Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng, but they were powerless to resist."

"After the Jingkang Incident, the Northern Song Dynasty was subjugated, and he was captured by the Jin people and went north. Shaoxing died in Yanjing in the 26th year of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. After only two years in his reign, he became a prisoner of the Kingdom of Jin together with his father Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

Since then, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan never returned to the Central Plains, and finally died in a foreign country. For him, I think he is a poor and hateful emperor.

It is said that he is pitiful because he is one of the only two emperors who died abroad in the history of China (the other is naturally his father Song Huizong Zhao Ji).

It is said that he is hateful because this is entirely caused by him. If he can listen to the advice of Li Gang, Zong Ze and other virtuous ministers, he will fight the Kingdom of Jin to the end and wait for other King Qin's troops to come to his aid.

At least the Northern Song Dynasty will not perish so quickly. Unfortunately, he is fatuous and incompetent and did not do so.

Instead, he listened to the bewitching of treacherous ministers such as Zhang Bangchang, and deposed Li Gang. In the end, the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. He was also captured by a foreign race, and finally died in another country.

This ending is really sad and lamentable!
