I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 211 Read the 319-year history of the Song Dynasty in one go (Seventeen)

[After waiting for 18 years, Song Guangzong finally ascended the throne. However, not long after he ascended the throne, he unfortunately suffered from mental illness and was unable to handle the government affairs normally. This allowed Queen Li Fengniang to gradually take over the power of the government.

Li Fengniang not only appointed many of Li's children as officials, but also alienated the father-son relationship between Song Guangzong and Song Xiaozong.

Even when Song Xiaozong was seriously ill, she prevented Song Guangzong from visiting him.

Even after the death of Song Xiaozong, Song Guangzong was unable to host the funeral due to the obstruction of Queen Li Fengniang, which led to turmoil in the court and a political crisis.

The clan Zhao Ruyu, together with Han Yuzhou and others, launched a palace coup, forcing Guangzong of Song Dynasty to abdicate, become the Supreme Emperor, and support his son Zhao Kuo as emperor.
Song Guangzong only reigned for five years, so the achievements of Song Xiaozong's governance gradually disappeared, and the Southern Song Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline.

After his son Song Ningzong came to the throne, his abilities were average and his employment was inappropriate. Coupled with the scrutiny of external forces, the entire country declined even more.

……

In 1271, Kublai Khan successfully seized the power of the Great Mongolia and established the Yuan Dynasty.

Subsequently, he launched a massive attack on the Song Dynasty, and the important towns of Fancheng and Xiangyang in the Southern Song Dynasty fell one after another.

The territory of the Southern Song Dynasty gradually shrank, and it was getting closer and closer to its fate.

……

Shortly after the late Emperor of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he was forced to flee to Yashan under the pursuit of reinforcements.

However, General Zhang Hongfan led his army to follow closely and launched a general attack on Yashan.This battle is called the Battle of Yashan.

In this battle, the Song army was completely defeated.Lu Xiufu committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea with Zhao Bing, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty who only reigned for one year, on his back.

In addition, 10 soldiers and civilians threw themselves into the sea and died for their country, leading to the demise of the Song Dynasty. 】

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang watched the video on the sky screen and stood up. After all, the demise of a dynasty was really too heavy.

It is not only the change of political power, but also the death of countless people in the war.

Although he launched wars again and again in order to unify the six countries, it was precisely because of this that he understood more about the harm that wars caused to the people.

And after he unified the six countries, he avoided war even more.

After all, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars never stopped between countries competing for territory.

And the Song Dynasty, starting from Song Guangzong, had already shown signs of destruction.

How could a mentally ill emperor manage the country well?
However, it is a pity that one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty jumped into the sea and died one after another.

Perhaps it was the prosperity of the Song Dynasty that gave them a greater sense of identity and made them feel that they were common people.

Think about Da Qin, although Shang Yang began to gradually become rich and powerful.

Qin Shihuang felt that if the Qin Dynasty was about to perish, he would not be treated like this.

After Qin Shihuang watched this video, he felt more and more the importance of strong national force.

And he also realized that a country not only needs to be strong in force, but also needs to make its people wealthy.

Only when the people are wealthy can the remnants of the Six Dynasties look towards the Qin Dynasty.

At the same time, Qin Shihuang wanted to know very much what would future generations do if they traveled to Da Qin to make Da Qin even richer.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, watched the video on the sky screen. He sat there and stared at the sky screen in a daze.

Another dynasty perished, this was the second dynasty he saw on the sky.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were not much better than the Ming Dynasty.

The only difference is that the last emperor was just a child, while the Ming Dynasty was a diligent emperor.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw that the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che felt that it was right to attack the Xiongnu.

After all, the Yuan Dynasty also developed from the territory of the Xiongnu. It may be the descendants of the Xiongnu, or it may be other races.But no matter what, it was a fatal threat to the entire Song Dynasty.

And all he can do now is to attack the Xiongnu. Although he doesn't know whether this will be useful to the Song Dynasty, this is all he can do.

And the territory of the Han Dynasty also needed him to destroy these Huns.

And with the appearance of Tianmu, his strength became stronger and stronger.

This attack on the Xiongnu had been prepared for a long time. He believed that this attack on the Xiongnu would be successful, so that the Han Dynasty would no longer be a threat.

Three Kingdoms period.

Liu Xie looked at the video on the marquee, his eyes full of envy.

Since he ascended the throne, Dong Zhuo has held the emperor hostage to order the princes.

It was not easy for someone to get rid of Dong Zhuo, and even Cao Cao, who he thought was loyal, was taken to Xuzhou.

This made him feel that he was blind. Cao Cao, like Dong Zhuo, wanted to take advantage of the emperor to control the princes.

Liu Xie thought about resisting, but the final result was that it had no effect. Recently, he was forced to give up his throne to Cao Cao.

What can he do?Without the strength, he could only do as he was told.

Some are somewhat envious of the last emperor of the Song Dynasty. After all, he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people when he died.

And what about yourself?Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people accompanying them, even the officials had bad intentions.

Sui Dynasty.

When Yang Guang saw the video on the sky screen, he had no feelings about the demise of the Song Dynasty.

After all, if a country with a weak military strength is surrounded by wolves, if it does not perish, then who will?

It's just that he didn't expect it by holding on for so long.

If he had been in the position of the Song Dynasty during the Sui Dynasty, I'm afraid the result would not be like this.

After all, he was so powerful that no one could defeat him.

After he destroyed Goguryeo, he became the most powerful country in the world.

After the Grand Canal is opened to navigation, he will have more abundant military resources to attack Goguryeo.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin read the information on the sky screen and sighed.

No one can avoid the demise of a dynasty.

Just like the Tang Dynasty, he was so powerful, but he eventually perished.

There was no way he could avoid the demise of the Tang Dynasty. What he could do was to leave more resources to extend the life of the Tang Dynasty when the Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

As the war in Goguryeo became more and more intense, his Tang soldiers risked their lives and attacked one city after another. Li Shimin believed that Goguryeo's demise was just a matter of time.

In order to take over the territory of Goguryeo, Li Shimin issued an order to the ministers to move the population here.

At the same time, in order to manage these territories, he even started an imperial examination, allowing those literati who had passed the imperial examination to govern this new territory.

Li Shimin believed that as time went by, the territory of Goguryeo would gradually become his territory of the Tang Dynasty.

When the literati after the imperial examination heard the news, they were very excited.

If they serve as officials in the original territory of the Tang Dynasty, they will face the constraints of those aristocratic families.

However, if they go to serve as officials in that new territory, they will be the largest officials and have more opportunities to show their ambitions.

As a result, literati wrote letters one after another requesting that they be able to serve as officials in the new territory.
