Why is it said that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ended the division of feudal towns, but did not achieve

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin quickly stopped Wang from realizing the great cause that Zhou Shizong did not complete, and successfully promoted himself from the position of general of the forbidden army to the emperor. Behind the end of the troubled times, there are many hidden dangers, including the transformation of the forbidden army, the division of power, and the emergence of serious redundant officials. <>

After the unification of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, completely ended the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Immediately afterwards, after he took the throne, he began to make drastic rectifications, and the first thing was to regulate the forbidden army. Because these troops all helped Song Taizu to fight the world, so Song Taizu was not good to speak directly, Yu Dusheng came up with a plan to release the military power with a glass of wine, and forced the generals to hand over the military power, so Song Taizu accepted the rectification of the army.

After Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, obtained the military power for the first time, he reformed the army. The first step was to transfer all the local elite soldiers to the forbidden army, so as to strengthen the strength of the forbidden army. The purpose is to make the Forbidden Army a direct force of the Emperor.

The second thing to do is to strengthen the local armed forces, turn them into van armies, and strengthen the management of local public order work. The next step was to weaken the rights of the generals of the forbidden army, and to change the responsibilities of the instructors from time to time, which led to the weakening of the Song State's troops, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. In order to strengthen the imperial power, Zhao Kuangyin began to divide the power of the prime minister, set up a privy envoy and a third envoy in the court, separated the military power and financial power of the prime minister from the original three powers, and set up a governor's political affairs to further divide the administrative power of the prime minister.

This move was all to strengthen his imperial power, and after Zhao Kuangyin's drastic reforms, the status of the prime minister was greatly reduced, and later generations also followed suit. <>

In order to strengthen the control of the local government, Zhao Kuangyin built administrative organs in various places, and the original roads became roads. The purpose of setting up a supervisory structure in various regions is to strengthen local control, but this move has brought serious redundancy. A number of unnecessary official positions have been added in the region, and the manpower is complicated, but things are not well managed.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he solved some of the problems, but created more problems, which brought many hidden dangers to future generations, and the emperor who took over the throne of Zhao Kuangyin later also "wanted to cry without tears".

It is likely that there will be another dispute, because many forces are still on the move, because the military power is not all on his own.

The hidden danger left is to implement the policy of emphasizing literature over military force, due to the prevalence of the literary style, it did make the Song Dynasty quickly stabilize from the war and become vigorous and prosperous, but it also led to the slack of armaments in the Song Dynasty, and the low status of the soldiers, resulting in the idea that everything is inferior, only the high level of reading, and finally led to the fact that in the face of foreign invasion, it was vulnerable to a reputation, and could only cede land and pay compensation, humiliation and peace.

Chenqiao mutiny.

The Chenqiao Mutiny was a mutiny initiated by Zhao Kuangyin to replace the Later Zhou and establish the Song Dynasty. In 959 AD, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong died, and the seven-year-old Emperor Gong ascended the throne. Zhao Kuangyin, the envoy of the German army, and the senior generals of the forbidden army, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and other righteous brothers mastered the military power.

At the beginning of the first month of the following year, it was rumored that the Khitan soldiers would go south to attack Zhou, and the prime minister Fan Zhen and others did not distinguish the authenticity, so he urgently sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead the troops north to resist the enemy. The Zhou army marched to Chenqiaoyi, Zhao Kuangyi (Zhao Kuangyin's brother) and Zhao Pu conspired to launch a mutiny, and the generals put yellow robes on Zhao Kuangyin and supported him as emperor. Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin led the army back to Kaifeng, and the guards of the capital, Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi, opened the city to welcome Zhao Kuangyin into the city and coerced Emperor Zhou Gong to take the throne.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he changed the name of the country to Song, and still set the capital to Kaifeng. History calls this event the "Chenqiao Mutiny".

seized power through the Chen Qiao Mutiny, and then established the Song Dynasty with the addition of the Yellow Robe.

That was the famous Chenqiao Mutiny.

The reason why Zhao Kuangyin was able to pacify the secession regime in the north was because he chose a very good strategy, first pacifying and then attacking, and was able to exert his effective ability.

Just send troops to fight, and if you win, you will be calm, and if you lose, you will be cold.

Zhao Kuangyin did plan to move the capital after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, but due to too many obstacles, he could only give up in the end. As for the reasons that hindered Zhao Kuangyin's relocation of the capital, let's briefly talk about it.

The first reason is that the idea of moving the capital is not supported by the civil and military **, so Zhao Kuangyin is very passive in doing things, and in order to maintain the rare political balance, he also has to consider the feelings of the civil and military **. We know that Zhao Kuangyin is a native of Luoyang, but his ability to establish the Great Song Dynasty mainly relied on the power of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and many of the civil and military ** of the Later Zhou Dynasty are the natives around Kaifeng, and they have a non-negligible influence around Kaifeng. After Zhao Kuangyin moved the capital back to his hometown, he was indeed able to strengthen his control over power, but those rulers and civil and military ** were obviously unwilling to leave their familiar homeland, and Lead Sen chose a new place where he had no strength to rely on.

Therefore, the resistance of the DPRK Chinese martial arts ** made it difficult for Zhao Kuangyin's plan to move the capital to be realized.

The second reason is that Zhao Kuangyin's favorite places such as Chang'an and Luoyang are relatively dilapidated due to the war, and the cost of building them as the capital is high, and they are very close to the border gates, so the pressure on national defense is very great. Although Chang'an, Luoyang and other places are often used as the capital of ancient dynasties, but after years of war and devastation, it has long been prosperous, only full of devastation, the cost of moving the capital and the cost of developing the economy of the local area is a difficult test for the Great Song Dynasty, which has just been founded. Another is that it is very close to the border pass, and it is often harassed by the border nomads, and the army's defense is under great pressure.

And Kaifeng is far from the border and will not worry about this problem.

The third reason is that although Kaifeng is located in the plain and there is no danger to defend, its waterway and land transportation are developed, and the economy and culture are also very prosperous, which is more suitable for the actual situation of the Great Song Dynasty at that time. One of the reasons why Zhao Kuangyin moved the capital was that Kaifeng had no danger to defend, which was far inferior to Chang'an and Luoyang. Kaifeng is located in the Huanghuai Plain, relying on the advantages of the Yellow River and the Huai River, it has developed waterway transportation and land transportation.

And after years of development, Kaifeng's culture and economy are very prosperous, and there are indeed merits, so in the end, Zhao Kuangyin could not forcibly ask to move the capital.

Zhao Kuangyin's courage and strategy are not good, when he chooses to move the capital, he is always hesitant to move, and he is also responsible for the fact that the Song Dynasty he had just established was destroyed, so he has never failed to move the capital successfully.
