I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 214 Read the 319-year history of the Song Dynasty in one go ([-])

Zhao Zhen read the comments on the screen and felt as if he was struck by lightning. At the same time, he had to admit that what was said on the screen was right.

The Song Dynasty was economically powerful, and for the sake of stability, he surrendered to the Liao Kingdom.

But their military strength was not as weak as what was said on the sky screen. After all, if it was really that weak, the Song Dynasty would have perished long ago.

Moreover, he has now begun reforms and ordered people to attack Xixia.

He wanted to regain the land of Xixia in order to obtain the salt there, and open up the Silk Road to allow more friends to do business in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen believes that after he truly completes the reform, the Song Dynasty will never be called a weak Song Dynasty again.

By that time, the Song Dynasty will be able to perfectly deal with external threats, and even have the strength to open up new territories.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang read the comments on the marquee and showed envy.

Although the Song Dynasty was weak in military force, its economic strength was too strong.

If the Ming Dynasty had such an economy, I am afraid that the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty in the north would have been crushed by the Ming Dynasty long ago.

Moreover, if he had such a prosperous economy when he revolted, he would not need to accumulate food and delay becoming king.

"Roasted Sweet Potato: The Song Dynasty forced generals to become civil servants. 》

"Little Trojan: Why don't you take a look at the situation in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? The emperor allowed his generals to let go, and was killed by his subordinates after two or three years. How could he survive without drinking wine to release his military power and weaken the generals' power? 》

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang read the comments on the sky screen, and he now understood why the Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs.

After all, the generals were powerful and would seriously threaten the emperor's regime.

After all, no emperor wants to lose his throne.

If he were Zhao Kuangyin, he would probably make the same choice as Zhao Kuang.

Qin Shihuang thought of his own Great Qin. Although the generals were powerful, they were also very measured in the management of the country.

Moreover, his goal is the entire world, and constantly opening up new territories is his lifelong pursuit.

Qin Shihuang believed that he could control those generals so that they could achieve higher achievements.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, may have watched the video on the sky screen. He was also thinking about whether the generals of his country had great power.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che felt that now was not the time to consider this.

After all, the Xiongnu to the west has been staring at the frontier of the Han Dynasty.

If he didn't have strong strength as a big man, he would probably become fat in the eyes of the Huns.

Moreover, the generals Huo Qubing and Wei Qing were both relatives of his Queen Wei Fuzi, and they were his powerful right-hand men.

If it is cut off now, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will also accommodate the Song Dynasty.

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao saw the comments on the sky screen, and he understood why the Song Dynasty did what he did.

If it were him, he would make the same choice.

However, it is a pity that Zhao Kuangyin did not predict what would happen next, and relieved the strength of those generals prematurely, so that the entire Song Dynasty army never developed.

What's more, those civil servants continued to suppress the military generals, which made the Song Dynasty so decadent in the face of external threats.

Although the Song Dynasty went through several reforms later, due to the strong power of conservatives, each reform ended in failure.

In the end, protecting the 16 Yanyun Prefectures became the Song Dynasty's obsession. In order to regain the 16 Yanyun Prefectures, they even united with the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty, even leading the wolf into the house.Otherwise, the humiliation of Jingkang would not have occurred in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the two emperors of the Song Dynasty would not have been captured by the Jin Dynasty.

Looking at the Wei State, it was at the time when it was competing with Shu Han and Soochow for hegemony. If it were like the Song Dynasty now, it would directly destroy the foundation of the Wei State.

However, the expansion of the power of those generals really worried him. After all, he did not believe that his descendants could control these generals.

Even according to what was said on the sky screen, Sima Yi even seized the kingdom of Wei.

Although he had already taken precautions and beheaded Sima Yi, he could not guarantee that such a thing would not happen again for his country.

So he called his sons and discussed with them Wei's future policies.

He hoped that his Wei State could be passed down safely in the face of various risks.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang sneered at the comments on the sky screen. He was in the Northern and Southern Dynasties before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, the emperor was like a revolving lantern, and the emperor became the most dangerous profession.

If his father had not unified China, I am afraid that China would still be divided at this time.

Even so, the Sui Dynasty did not restrict generals like the Song Dynasty.

Because I have experienced that era, I understand the importance of force more and more.

Moreover, as a Central Plains dynasty, if it does not have strong military force, it will only attract the attention of surrounding forces.

And he is now confident to attack Goguryeo precisely because of the powerful force of the Sui Dynasty.

Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin saw the comments on the marquee, he felt increasingly sad.

He did not expect that after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, such a chaotic era would appear.

Fortunately, at this time, someone would stand up and unify the country. Otherwise, the whole of China would have been divided into many small countries like it was during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

I believe that every Chinese citizen would not want such a thing to happen.

Li Shimin now understands Zhao Kuangyin's policy of emphasizing literature over military affairs.

He wants to find a strategy to solve the problem of military generals causing chaos in the country. You hope that there will never be military generals causing chaos in China again.

However, it is a pity that he misjudged the current situation, so that the Song Dynasty did not have enough strength to deal with the war.

Although later emperors of the Song Dynasty hoped to increase the strength of military generals through reforms, no one succeeded.

Li Shimin also gradually understood that the strength of a country not only requires strong economic strength, but also requires strong military force.

How to balance oneself depends on the level of each emperor.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he needed to balance the contradictions between military generals and civil servants.

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin burst into tears when he saw the comments on the marquee. He felt that he had met a confidant.

If it weren't for the constant wars during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there would be no benefit to a strong military commander. He would not drink wine to release his military power, let alone formulate a policy that emphasizes civility over military force.

However, after watching the videos and comments on the marquee, he gradually realized that the country was not unified, and such policies would only weaken the country's strength.

He hoped to find a perfect way that would not only make the military strength of the Song Dynasty weak, but also allow the civilian officials to suppress the generals.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin was also curious, how did the future generations on the sky screen do the same thing?
