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

Zhao Yun was born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. His father, Zhao Zicheng, once served as the magistrate of the local Xiushui County. It is said that his mother dreamed that someone gave her a sheep before she was pregnant with him, but no one would associate this child with the emperor.

Until he ascended the throne later, all kinds of "auspiciousness" came into being.

For example, a poet named Zhang Yaotong wrote a poem "Phoenix Continent":

The bamboo is beautiful and the water is clean, and suddenly there are two phoenixes.

Qi Zhou used to be Mingrui, and now he sees King Wen again.

The phoenix mentioned in the poem refers to the year when Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty took the throne, a phoenix flew to Jiaxing. People took it as auspicious and built a Phoenix Pavilion.

In addition, the poem compares Song Xiaozong to King Wen of the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, the father of King Wu of Zhou who overthrew the Shang Dynasty, which shows that people have a high opinion of him.

I don't know how it compares with Zhou Wenwang, but Song Xiaozong did a good job, and he can be called the best emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the 32nd year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou voluntarily abdicated on the grounds that he was "tired of working hard" and wanted to rest more.

Different from Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's compromise policy, Song Xiaozong Zhao Yun had great ambitions, and he wanted to change the situation of the country's partial security, peace of mind and martial arts, poverty and weakness, and determined to regain lost ground in the Northern Expedition.

This ambition can be seen from his reign title "Longxing".

Song Xiaozong showed a distinctive demeanor as soon as he came to power.

Politically, he strengthened the management of officials, especially power ministers, by shortening the term of office of the prime minister, severely cracking down on foreign relatives' arbitrariness of power, and strengthening supervision.

Preventing the reappearance of Qin Hui's dictatorship or the later appearance of Han Tuozhou, Jia Sidao and other foreign relatives controlling the government affairs helped to maintain the stability of the court and keep the politics clear.

In addition, regarding the serious problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, he abolished nearly a thousand officials in the capital Lin'an within two years of his tenure, and there were countless more in the whole country. He greatly reduced expenditure and eased the embarrassing financial problem.

Economically, he paid attention to health and well-being, lightened corvees and reduced taxes, repeatedly reduced the burden on the people, and attached great importance to the construction of water conservancy projects so that the people could produce safely.

The paper currency "Huizi" issued in the name of the country also made a great contribution to promoting economic development.

He himself practiced frugality, often wore old clothes, and did not make much construction work. The income of the palace had not been touched for many years, so that the ropes that stringed money were rotten.

According to his own words, it is "I have not done much else, but I can be frugal", and according to his father Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's words, it is "more thrifty than ancient emperors".

Under his example, the extravagant trend among ministers was obviously restrained, the court's finances became healthier, and the national strength also rose steadily. The Southern Song Dynasty reached its peak, and a prosperous age called "Government of Qianchun" appeared.

In terms of military affairs, in the second month after he took the throne, Song Xiaozong recalled Zhang Jun, a veteran of the main combat faction, to discuss a plan to restore the lost land.

In the first month of the following year, he was also appointed as a privy envoy, in charge of military affairs, equivalent to the current Minister of Defense.Other ministers of the main combat faction who were demoted or dismissed have been rehabilitated one after another, and the particularly outstanding ones have been reused.

Among the rehabilitated characters, the most dazzling one is Yue Fei.

According to historical records, in the 32nd year of Shaoxing, Song Xiaozong issued an edict to reinstate Yue Fei as soon as he came to the throne.

Since then, temples have been established for Yue Fei, posthumous titles of "Zhonglie" and "Wu Mu" have been conferred, and official positions have been conferred on Yue Fei's descendants.

The key to these things was done while Song Gaozong was still alive. His pressure and courage can be seen. Only by this matter, he can be famous in history.

After you have generals, you must have soldiers.

In order to solve the problem of the small number of soldiers and the large gap in the cost of raising troops, he creatively implemented the "voluntary soldier system".

Combining soldiers in agriculture, not only working to produce food, but also training to improve combat power, can reduce expenditure by as much as 5 million for every 600 people, thus achieving a good effect of increasing troops without increasing financial burden.

Strict demands on others, and not relaxed on yourself.

Song Xiaozong took time out to learn riding and archery, and completely put himself in the great cause of rejuvenation. With such a leader, it is unreasonable for the strength of the Southern Song army not to improve.

Everything started from the great stimulation of the shame of Jingkang, and from the sad situation of the fall of the northern homeland.

Song Xiaozong, who took the Northern Expedition as his lifelong ambition, was so eager to regain the country that he ordered the Northern Expedition less than a year after he took the throne.

But the weather was not at the right time, and the most promising Northern Expedition in the Southern Song Dynasty ended in failure, which is embarrassing.

The reason for this is not only the lack of self-preparation, the disunity of the court's opinions, and the lack of capable coaches, but also the fact that the strength of the Jin Dynasty is at a time when it is strong, and Jin Sejong is also an important factor.

Throughout the 27 years of Song Xiaozong's reign, it was the most vigorous period in the Southern Song Dynasty. He brought hope to the precarious Southern Song Dynasty.

He accumulated strong military and material support for the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Jin.

Although the Northern Expedition failed, he was indeed worthy of the words "hard work".

Great Qin.

"It turns out that No. 8 of the top ten outstanding emperors is the emperor of the weak Song Dynasty."

"However, this emperor, he was so hardened that he dared to take the initiative to send troops to attack the alien race."

"Although it failed in the end, it can be regarded as kind."

"I recognize your achievements, and you are qualified to be among the top ten outstanding emperors."

After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng watched the video, he couldn't help exhaling deeply, and said in a deep voice.

Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan was the more ambitious emperor among the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was also the most accomplished monarch.

He created the "Government of Qianchun" besides Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen, and was also the most active monarch among the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty who resisted the Jin Dynasty.

It's a pity that "the sky does not bless people", the first Northern Expedition failed, and the second and third Northern Expeditions were stranded. Otherwise, the recovery of the Central Plains and the creation of the prosperous Song Dynasty will inevitably be realized in the position of Zhao Yun.

It's a pity that God didn't give him a chance.

Song.

"I hate it so much."

"I'm working hard to govern, and I want to go to the Northern Expedition to regain the Central Plains."

"But why do you all oppose me?"

"Why didn't God give me an invincible general?"

After Song Xiaozong and Zhao Yan watched the video, he couldn't help but sighed up to the sky.

During the first Northern Expedition, due to the disagreement between the generals of the Song army and the intensification of internal conflicts, the morale of the army was scattered.

In the end, the Longxing Northern Expedition failed, and the Jin army took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Song army suffered heavy losses.

However, just as Song Xiaozong and Zhao Wei started the second Northern Expedition.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou passed away, and Song Xiaozong Zhao Yun had to shelve the Northern Expedition.

After three years of keeping filial piety, and the subjects at that time were all adapted to the "Pan'an Corner", and they all lived very well. Therefore, when Song Xiaozong Zhao Wei proposed the Northern Expedition for the second time, he was opposed by the officials.

After several duels with the officials, the strength of the civil official group prevented Song Xiaozong and Zhao Wei from succeeding, and the Northern Expedition was "stranded" indefinitely.
