The Tang Dynasty used to be a state of martial arts, why did the Song Dynasty go the other way

The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous dynasty, but it quickly declined after the Anshi Rebellion, and the policy of the Tang Dynasty at that time was to "focus on the outside and ignore the inside", and the country's border defense was elite and strong, and the city was full of old and weak soldiers. Once the defense line is breached, it will collapse.

The Song Dynasty learned from the lessons of the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty and did the opposite, implementing the practice of "emphasizing the inside and ignoring the outside".

First, the strategy of emphasizing civilian affairs over military force was implemented, and the posts of military generals were held by civilian officials. Such an inappropriate position has resulted in civilian officials having the right to dispatch troops, but they cannot control the army, and capable officers and men do not have the power to dispatch troops, so the combat efficiency is certainly very low, resulting in repeated defeats in wars.

The second is to formulate a "change law."

It is to let the Beijing division take shifts, and change the station after a period of time, but the war requires unity, often change the Beijing division, the team has no trust, no cohesion, the Beijing division often changes places and is not familiar with the terrain, the war pays attention to the right time, place and people, the terrain and people are not, so how can we win the war.

Third, the emperor himself formulated the battle plan in the war

The generals can only follow the emperor's plan, if they do not follow the emperor's method, they will lose their heads if they lose, and even if they win, they must write a very detailed report, and they must admit their mistakes to the emperor and the court. With such a formulation, how can generals fight with peace of mind.

Fourth, the position of supervising the army arranged by the emperor, as the name suggests, is the position of supervising the generals, but the supervising troops are all eunuchs in the deep palace, who don't know anything about fighting, and also supervise the generals to fight according to the emperor's plan, how can such a military command win. Yang Jiajun, the leader of the Yang family's army, listened to the command of the prison army, fought according to the emperor's plan, and was finally captured, and finally committed suicide.

Because the Song Dynasty transferred all the elite soldiers from various places back to the **, enriched the forbidden army, greatly weakened the frontier guards, and finally ended up with the destruction of the country.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and emphasized internal over external, but in the end, the emperor always did ridiculous things, including internal struggles, and various forces outside were eyeing each other, so in the end it also perished.

Because different eras have different domestic and foreign environments, the Song Dynasty borrowed too much from the Tang Dynasty, which naturally easily led to undesirable consequences.

Because the times are different, the country's policies should change with the environment of the times, and should not simply pursue learning from a certain dynasty.

Because the Song Dynasty only learned from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and did not improve it, in the end, the Song Dynasty still perished like the Tang Dynasty.

Because the Tang Dynasty was relatively open and paid attention to foreign exchanges, the Song Dynasty learned from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and emphasized internal affairs over foreign affairs.

Because the Song Dynasty's method of doing the opposite did not work, the emphasis on literature and light on military force led to the country's military strength being too weak to resist the attacks of other countries.

It is precisely because the Song Dynasty placed too much emphasis on literature and light on military force that the country's national defense strength was too low and its military strength was weak.

Because the biggest root cause lies in the centralization of power.

The wisdom of one person can never be compared to the wisdom of a group of people, and even if a person is a good emperor, there is no guarantee that he will not become bad in the future. Even if he doesn't go bad, so will his descendants.

Li Longji is not mediocre in his old age. It would be nice if there was a constitutional monarchy or something. Full decentralization, decentralization, mutual checks and balances. It's much better if there are a bunch of people in the cabinet to deal with it.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of pouring food, in ancient China, at the beginning of a dynasty, the society was stable, the economy was developed, the population multiplied in large numbers, and the area of land was limited, and the output of grain was certain. This is the limitation of the feudal dynasty, entering the capitalist period, the economic circulation is large, and the state of affairs at that time has changed.

The Song Dynasty believed that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was due to the decline caused by the excessive power of the feudal towns, so the Song Dynasty controlled the rights of the localities.

Because both are extreme political systems, Wen can govern the country and secure the country, and Wu can rejuvenate the country and level the world, the Tang Dynasty led to local secession due to its weak control over military power, and the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, resulting in weak national troops and being bullied by other countries.

Because although Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was a monarch with a broad mind, he definitely did not use the dialectics to learn it well, and failed to achieve a balance between emphasizing the outside and ignoring the inside, and emphasizing the inside and ignoring the outside, which led to the fate of the same fate as the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, the military generals controlled the army and ruled the locality, which caused the decline of the various festival envoys without moderation, and the Song Dynasty did not reuse the military generals and used literati, resulting in poor combat effectiveness of the army, and it was difficult to cope with foreign invasions and decline.

After the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the peasant rebel army became more and more flat, drought for many years, external and internal troubles, the ** force became weaker and weaker, and the warlords from all walks of life seized the land and began to divide the feudal towns, and the Tang Dynasty was divided.

In the end, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Emperor and changed the name of the country to Liang, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms officially began.

Normally, partial students generally can't get into a science in college. . . Unless it is top-notch to escort.

Time can make people's hearts fluctuate, and no dynasty can avoid decline.

Because there were many power struggles and conspiracies between the civil and military forces of the dynasty.

Because they all have a certain deviation, they cannot be treated equally.

Because all people want to hold power and increase their status, they will not be satisfied with the status quo at all.

The Tang Dynasty was a real prosperous era, but because of An Lushan's rebellion, it soon turned from prosperity to decline.

Moreover, in order to prevent the rise of similar feudal towns, the generals of the border passes were frequently replaced. Such a policy has greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the officers and men, and each general has a different mode of warfare, and the frequent change of generals will take more time to integrate, and the aspect of "people" will no longer be occupied.

Second, although it is the opposite, but the same career is the same country, in addition to economic development, the most important thing is military strength. The final demise of the Song Dynasty was because there were no ethnic minorities who could fight bravely and skillfully, and they suffered a loss in combat effectiveness. Frontier soldiers are civilian officials, and those who are really good at fighting have no real power and cannot mobilize troops for attack and defense, and this is bound to suffer.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of pouring food, in ancient China, at the beginning of a dynasty, the society was stable, the economy was developed, the population multiplied in large numbers, and the area of land was limited, and the output of grain was certain. This is the limitation of the feudal dynasty, entering the capitalist period, the economic circulation is large, and the state of affairs at that time has changed.
