Why did Song Liao send Liao New Year s coins instead of Liao when he negotiated peace?

Because ah. My fallacy is.

The Song Dynasty was at the end of its time, but it was still a great power.

Liao is a small tribe, in fact, it is also a part of our country, that is, it may have been very powerful at that time, and it was expanding its territory and wanted to unify and annex the Song Dynasty.

And the Song Dynasty was in a special period that was about to be endless, and the Liao and Song Dynasty did not have the strength at that time, and the Song Dynasty had no intention of fighting, and he was still worried about peace.

In the past, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were not all at the end of the year, and the surrounding small countries paid tribute to silver, who is called powerful.

It is recorded that small countries such as North Korea and South Korea still have to pay tribute.

When it is the strongest, it will unite the small tribes into a large country.

It has always been the surrounding New Year's coins and it was Liao who committed the first offense at that time, and Song was not very sure that he wanted to negotiate with Liao, and Song naturally agreed to negotiate peace The odds of victory are still in Liao, but Liao, Song doesn't seem to have gotten any practical benefits.

Later, when Liao became stronger, didn't he still destroy the Song Dynasty.

The plan to delay the army is weak, and if you don't give money, you will be beaten.

The reason is like if you have a fight with the Sanda Champion, you can't resist it, so you have to make a proposal for peace, you say, is the Sanda Champion giving you money to stop the fight or are you sacrificing your wealth to avoid disaster?

It's not that the national strength of the Song Dynasty was inferior to Liao's at that time! ～

I don't think so! ～

It should be the weakness of the imperial court at that time! Dark! Caused! ～

Dizzy, at that time, the Song State was not as powerful as Liao, and the imperial court was weak, and history was not learned, right?

In order to quell the war, Song Liao signed the Yuanyuan Alliance, and Song Gong Liao's annual coin was one of the conditions.

In September 1004, the Battle of Song and Liao broke out in full swing, and Yelu Longxu, the Holy Emperor of Liao, and his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, personally led a large army to the south to open the curtain of the Battle of Tanyuan.

Xiao Tzu Rin (the commander of the Liao Army's Southern Expedition) was shot to death, which influenced the situation of the Song-Liao War and accelerated the process of the alliance between the Song and Liao, and on the third day after Xiao Tzu Rin's death, Zhenzong arrived in Shanzhou.

Zhenzong at the suggestion and request of Prime Minister Kou Zhun to ascend to the front line of the northern city of Shanzhou, which was only a small step for Zhenzong, but a big step forward for the Song Dynasty, his appearance completely changed the form of war, the morale of the Song army was high, making it possible for the Song Liao alliance to form an alliance, and the Empress Dowager Xiao revised the book three times to request peace talks.

Zhenzong is a pragmatic ordinary person, although he is not brave or cowardly, he just considers that although the Song army had a slight advantage at that time, with the national strength of the Song Dynasty at that time, it was difficult to completely eliminate the Khitan without this strength, and it was difficult to recapture the sixteen states of Youyun, and it was enough to take back the defense line of the Great Wall, so he decided to negotiate peace, and the two sides signed the alliance of Lanyuan.

The alliance of the abyss stipulates:

1.Determine the diplomatic relations between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, the two countries are called brothers, Liao Shengzong is young, called Song Zhenzong a brother, and later generations are still based on the age of teeth.

2.The Northern Qi was demarcated on the border of the Liao State, and the land of Guannan was returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the two countries resumed the pre-war de facto occupation state, did not add military facilities to each other, and protected each other's agricultural and commercial affairs.

3.Every year, the Northern Song Dynasty presented 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk to the Liao State to deliver them to Xiongzhou (now Xiongxian County, Baoding).

4.The two sides set up a field at the border to carry out mutual markets**.

The alliance was beneficial to the Song Dynasty at that time for the following reasons:

1. The alliance ended the 25-year-long war between Song and Liao, and the Song-Liao border was relatively peaceful for a long time.

2. The Song Dynasty saved huge war expenses, avoided the excessive conscription and tax pressure caused by the heavy army fighting the border for many years, and exchanged the effect of war for a very small price.

3. After the alliance between the Song and Liao, the Song and Liao sides roughly maintained a hundred years of peace, which was very beneficial to the first-class relations between the two countries, people-to-people exchanges and the integration between various ethnic groups. It has created conditions for economic and cultural exchanges between the Central Plains and the northern frontier.

4. After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Northern Song Dynasty set up a field in Xiongzhou, Bazhou and other places on the border, and the Northern Song Dynasty was many times larger than Liao, Xixia and other countries in terms of economic aggregate.

5. The Liao and Song dynasties after the alliance promoted the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the Khitan and Han ethnic groups, and enhanced the friendship between the two peoples. It is conducive to the economic development, cultural prosperity and ethnic integration of the Chinese nation.

The contract was signed because both parties had internal troubles, and they must first settle down inside. Sending New Year's coins was actually Song giving alms to Liao, because the contract had the greatest economic benefit to Song.

After several defeats in the wars waged by the Song to Liao, he adopted a defensive policy. After Song Zhenzong personally defeated the Liao army, Song and Liao signed the Song-Liao Peace Agreement. The Liao Sui coin was given in order to seek a peaceful situation. On the other hand, it was also because of the weakness of the regime due to Song's emphasis on literature and light on military force.

If you want to sign a contract with Liao, first of all, it is generally forced by the situation.

At that time, the Liao Tunnel could not be sent, and an agreement had to be signed.

I don't know much about you, and I don't know why I sent gold coins.

Why do you want to send couplets to the source of the river? As you see fit. Didn't understand the meaning of this statement.

At that time, except for a very small number of main battle factions, the Manchu Dynasty persuaded Zhenzong to move the capital to avoid war, and Zhenzong's original intention to drive the expedition was also stopped. But Kou Zhun's unrivaled courage finally made him make up his mind, and he came to the battle array to reach the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and the price of ten thousand coins was nothing compared to moving the capital. (At that time, the annual income of the Song Dynasty was more than 100 million yuan, and the military expenditure of a medium-sized war in the Song Dynasty was as high as more than 10,000 yuan) and the trend of history proves everything, after this war, the Northern Song Dynasty moved towards the peak - even if the Song Renzong Dynasty is called the peak of the entire Chinese feudal society, it is not an exaggeration.

The land of Guannan of the Liao Kingdom was gained and lost, but the tribute of Chinese New Year's Eve plus the 200,000 promised by Fubi in the future was undoubtedly a big pie in the sky for the economically constrained Khitan. However, the Khitan and the Song Dynasty became friendly for a hundred years because of this, and the Khitan iron cavalry no longer went south. The disadvantages are clear at a glance.

For the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Lanyuan Alliance" was an equal contract, and the insignificant annual coins in exchange for peace in the Youyan region of the Northern Song Dynasty could be used to focus the main energy and strength on the construction of internal affairs and the war in the northwest (Western Xia). It was also a very suitable treaty for Liao, and there was an undercurrent surging in Liao at that time, and it was wise to get out of the entanglement of the Song regime in the south in time. Judging from the history of the development of the Chinese nation as a whole, the "Lanyuan Alliance" has its positive side: it has put an end to the decades-long war between the Liao-Song Dynasty and has kept the Liao-Song border in a state of relative peace for a long time, which is conducive to the production and development of the border areas and, in the long run, to the development and reunification of China's multi-ethnic country.

It is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact it is similar to the humiliating treaty of the Qing Dynasty. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and the Song Dynasty is too weak militarily. How could the Liao State be afraid, they also ceased war out of consideration of interests. Don't fight, open the border **, and the New Year's coin, how shrewd this abacus is.

At that time, the two sides of Song and Liao were actually tied, and it was impossible to talk about who won and who lost. Song Jun's worth mentioning version of the victory is only Quan.

Shot and killed Xiao Dalan, the general of the Liao army.

If you don't give the Liao State New Year's coin, the Liao State will continue to enter the country. Since the sixteen states of Yanyun were controlled by the Liao State, the vast North China Plain could be ridden by the Liao State. The mobile Liao army would force the Song army to fortify everywhere.

Compared with the heavy troops on the border, the huge amount of money spent on building a strong city, only 300,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 horses of silk were a drop in the bucket for the Song Dynasty. But it can be exchanged for peace. Why didn't the Song Dynasty do it?

Spend money to eliminate disasters. Song Zhenzong is a soft egg, and the pro-conquest was forced by Lao Xi'er. As soon as the war started, the commander of the Liao State hung the ball, Lao Xi'er wanted Zhenzong to take advantage of the victory to pursue, Zhenzong didn't play anymore, and asked Cao to go to peace talks, Zhenzong said that it was acceptable within 1 million, and Lao Xi'er said that it was more than 300,000, and you came back with your head.
