The Song Dynasty was very weak, why could it still resist the three hundred year dynastic limit?

The Song Dynasty was an era that many people yearn for, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment, all because of the emperor's good policies.

Isn't it possible to be small? That's not everything that can be solved. It's about your own ability. It's not because he is too young to be capable.

The rule of the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years must be because the national strength at that time was very strong, and the monarch at that time was also relatively capable. This point is really undoubted, think about it, if their national strength is not strong enough, if their monarch is not capable, then how can the Song Dynasty survive more than 300 years unharmed? Of course, some people will say, if he is really so strong, how can he be replaced by other dynasties?

It's really hard to say about this thing, because the change of dynasties is a very normal thing, and it is so normal in the history of China that no dynasty can always exist. <>

It can be said that the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that inherited five dynasties and ten kingdoms and the Yuan Dynasty, and the entire Song Dynasty was divided into two stages: the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty was their Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who was a general of the Later Zhou Dynasty and was later forced to become the emperor. He was a very capable, very capable man, he was able to govern the country very well, and he also unified the whole country.

But because his throne came relatively easily, he would also feel particularly afraid to sit in this position, and he was walking on thin ice, for fear of being replaced by someone else. <>

He was cautious and very cautious in everything he did, and it was for such a reason that at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the people of the whole country lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everyone lived a very good life. In fact, the later monarchs also used some of his management methods as a guide, and then went to govern the country and the people. Of course, there are some people who deviate, which is why this dynasty will eventually be wiped out.

But we can't ignore the ability of the former monarch of this country and his national strength, and some things that happen later are not something we can control, but in the previous time, Zhao Kuangyin must have hoped that this country would always be surnamed Zhao. <>

The Song Dynasty had a very developed economy, strong financial resources, strong national strength, and relatively capable rulers; At that time, the Song Dynasty lacked military force, but the economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the national strength was relatively strong on the whole.

Mainly because the Song Dynasty further carried out the first centralization of power, consolidated the rule of imperial power, coupled with the relatively heavy emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, the emperor was generally more benevolent; At that time, the national strength was not very strong, especially the military was relatively weak.

This is because the emperor of the Song Dynasty had a very high IQ at that time and was able to handle relations with other countries well, so he was able to exceed 300 years; At that time, the national strength was still relatively strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a very happy life.

This is because the economic development of the Song Dynasty was very strong, and the development speed was relatively fast, and there was also a prosperous scene, and there were many outstanding talents, so it could last for more than 300 years.

The main reason is that the economy of the Song Dynasty is too developed and can be supported.

That's because although the Song Dynasty was not strong in force, it was able to produce many people, and the geographical location of the Song Dynasty was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was able to last for more than 300 years.

It was because the economic development at that time was very good, and the policies and systems at that time were also very good, and the management personnel were also very powerful, so it could last for more than 300 years.

The economy of the Song Dynasty is strong, and it is relatively open, even in the Southern Song Dynasty, when it lost the north and only half of the country was left, it was still able to obtain rich economic income through overseas **, and the south was the economic center of the Song Dynasty, as long as this place was not lost, the economy of the Song Dynasty could be supported. In addition, the Song army was more defensive than offensive, and most of the victories were defeated rather than annihilated, so there were not many living forces to destroy the enemy, but only to block the enemy outside the national border. The most important thing is that the Song Dynasty was culturally developed:

The Chinese civilization has evolved over thousands of years, and when the Song Dynasty reached its peak, it gradually assimilated the surrounding foreign races, both Liao and Jin.

It's okay to admit defeat, first give money to food, then give clothes to women, give land, how can people be embarrassed to beat you, can't I admit defeat.

The Song Dynasty was not weak, but really weak. The Song Dynasty was not 300 years but 167 years, and the Southern Song Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty but the Song Dynasty in 152 years. Just like the Wei Shu Wu of the Three Kingdoms, it can't be called Wei, Shu, and Wu.

The Xia, Jin, and Song dynasties were not dynasties, but three separate regimes. The weakness of the Song Dynasty (referring only to the Northern Song Dynasty) was not in the military but in the national spirit.

The military strength of the Song Dynasty was not weak, whether it was the unification of the Central Plains War, or the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, or the two Northern Expeditions, the military was significant, and the failure of the two Northern Expeditions was mainly because of logistics, grain and grass and the command ability of Song Taizong.

Song Taizong's power struggle was good, but his military abilities were much worse than his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

Even in the era, in fact, there was no one who said that Ma could not defeat Liao and could not destroy Xia.

The core of the problem lies in the fact that after the alliance of Song Zhenzong and Yuanyuan, the Song Dynasty completely entered a passive defense policy. The world's firearms originated in China, and Chinese firearms (controlled gunpowder**) were born in the Song Dynasty. The traditional defensiveness was also taken to the extreme in the Song Dynasty, especially during the Jin and Song dynasties, when firearms were prevalent.

But what are they used for? Defend.

After the alliance of Shan Yuan, the army of the Song Dynasty had lost the meaning of the army, and was only a police force guarding the country. , Liao, and Xia are based on peaceful exchanges.

People are superfluous, family ties, and the army engages in business, which makes the soldiers more and more advanced, but since the beginning of the religion of God, it has been blindly reformed, resulting in more and more problems in the reform of the army. Naturally, the combat power has decreased a lot.

Since the Song Dynasty, millions of Song troops have looked beautiful, relying purely on many people and complex **.

The reason why the Song Dynasty was able to hold out for 167 years was not because of itself but because of the enemy's willingness to degenerate and internal affairs problems, and it went south flawlessly.

Since the Liao Dynasty took Youzhou as its capital, called Nanjing, Confucian political power began (note that it is not Chinese). However, the Confucianization of the Liao Dynasty was not successful, and the stable imperial power and its sanctification were not established. Therefore, with the intensification of corruption in the country, the problems of the state are more serious.

In this case, Liao did not have the energy to go south, so he had to support Western Xia to weaken the Song. It takes time, and Xia Guo's strength is not enough, so the Three Kingdoms exist in consumption until the rise of Xu Jinguo.

In fact, the military strength of the Song Dynasty was not weak, and it was also very rich. The reason why the military strength of the Song Dynasty is very weak is because the Song Dynasty does not like to fight, and basically uses money to solve problems. The Song Dynasty lasted for more than 300 years because of its strong economic capacity.

The Song Dynasty left a weak impression on future generations because it never took the initiative to fight abroad, but the Song Dynasty itself was particularly developed economically, the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and the military strength was also passable with excellent economic support, while the surrounding countries such as Liaoxia were barren because of their own barren land, coupled with their domestic magnates and corruption, they had no energy to fight a protracted war with the Song Dynasty, and could only barely stand on three legs, so the Song Dynasty could last for three hundred years.

Although the Song Dynasty was relatively weak. But at that time of the Song Dynasty, many great powers in the north rose one after another, the Liao, Jin, Mongolia, Khitan, they all went to fight on their own, and they didn't have much time to worry about the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty has a history of 300 years in history, and there is a certain reason why its system allows him to survive for such a long time, and there were many great generals at that time, such as Yue Fei.
