Do you know what the reasons for the fall of the Song Dynasty were?

In the face of the powerful minority regime in the north, the Song Dynasty should adopt a strategy of maintaining balance, weakening the camera, and coexisting with them. But in the Northern Song Dynasty, he united with Jin to eliminate Liao, and then he was destroyed by Jin. In the Southern Song Dynasty, he united with Mongolia to destroy Jin, and finally let the Mongol power sit on the throne, and finally destroyed it. ‍‍

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and before the Song Dynasty, there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, an era of frequent wars, and the reason why this was so was because once the military generals mastered the military power, they would threaten the imperial power and replace themselves as emperors. The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty himself ascended to the throne in this way, so his national policy will definitely be heavy on literature and light on military force. The Minister of Defense of the Song Dynasty was called the Privy Envoy, which was served by a civilian official, and the civilian official of the same rank was one level greater than the military general, and the military general was called behind the civilian official

Porcupine dogs. When Yue Fei was killed, the civil officials thought it was no big deal, it might be wronged, but so what. ‍‍

The Mongols were too capable of fighting, the Mongols were simply invincible at that time, and they had the largest territory in the world, and it was not easy for the Southern Song Dynasty to resist for decades. Mongolia hit the Southern Song Dynasty focus on Xiangyang, Xiangyang city high pool deep, moat width 100 meters, the Mongols did not have many methods, but later the Mongols in the Persian fight, learned to return to the cannon, although this is also a kind of stone thrower, but than the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's adviser Liu Ye invented the stone throwing machine to be more advantageous, play also very far, do not understand, you can watch the second episode of the Lord of the Rings. The Mongols used this kind of ** to capture Xiangyang, which had not been captured for decades, and the Southern Song Dynasty had no danger to defend. ‍‍

I don't know the reason for the fall of the Song Dynasty because I didn't learn history well.

The real reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was not the system of the Northern Song Dynasty itself, but the failure to maintain a relatively good collective decision-making mechanism and political atmosphere in the early and middle periods.

The important thing is that the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, his method of seizing power was illegal, and later the entire Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were nervous, and they were extremely wary of military generals, and it was easy to be killed if they won the battle, and it was easy to be killed if they won the hearts of the army and the people. ‍‍

1.The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and its military strength was weak.

2.Decentralization of power, leading to inefficiency. The unprecedented size of the organization has put severe pressure on the finances.

3.The external troubles of the Song Dynasty have never been interrupted, and they have no choice but to adopt a tolerant and conniving attitude towards foreign powers.

The imperial court was corrupt, the emperor was not strong enough, the treasury was not sufficient, and relatives and eunuchs interfered in politics ......

I think it's mainly because there are mistakes in foreign policy, and they rely entirely on sending money to keep the peace, so they don't bully themselves by raising others to be stronger.

The direct cause of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was the shame of Jingkang. In the second year of Jingkang, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, father and son, were captured by the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers broke through the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty royal family became the prisoners of the Jin soldiers, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Of course, the fundamental reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was that there were problems within the country.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Northern Song Dynasty faced a very dangerous and embarrassing situation geographically.

The first is the loss of natural risk, the powerful Khitan Liao State in the north occupies the natural risk, and has an absolute military and geographical advantage over the Central Plains Dynasty in the south, and the same is true for the Jin State that rose in the future.

The second is that the geographical location of the capital is very passive, ancient China built the capital often in Xi'an, Luoyang, Chengdu, Beijing and other places, these places without exception are easy to defend and difficult to attack the city by virtue of natural dangers, but Kaifeng is not, Kaifeng Bianliang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, surrounded by a plain of Pingchuan, there is no danger to defend, this geographical congenital deficiency caused by the military disadvantage is very fatal.

Of these two points, the former Northern Song Dynasty could not do anything, because in the decades before the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, this situation had already been formed from the beginning of the cession, and the Northern Song Dynasty was only a victim.

1. We all know that the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was prosperous, but it was only limited to its capital city of Kaifeng at that time, and the wealth of the whole country was concentrated here, which at that time seemed to be to prevent the local development from developing too quickly and causing rebellion. But in fact, to a certain extent, it has led to the extremely slow development of other places, and it can be said that once a foreign enemy invades, except for the capital, the human, material, and financial resources of any other city are not enough to support them to have any ability to fight back. And once the world is gone, what is the point of leaving only an incomparably prosperous capital, sooner or later it will fall into the pockets of others.

2. The second is the ideological problem of the Northern Song Dynasty, which overly emphasized literature and light military force. Maybe it's because of Song Taizu, he himself established the Song Dynasty through mutiny, plus the influence of the previous dynasty, so he may be worried that similar things will happen to him, so that the country he has worked hard to get will be given to others, which is naturally something for him to try to avoid, and there is a trend of emphasizing literature over military force throughout the country. Although this strengthened his own power, no one would rebel and threaten him, but to a large extent, it reduced the national power of his own country.

And when the foreign enemy invaded in the end, it was difficult for the whole country to select suitable people to lead the troops to fight.

3. There is another very important factor, that is, the Song Dynasty united with Dajin and destroyed its long-time allies, in fact, this phenomenon is very common to us. After he became strong, in order to have no worries, he had to get rid of those who were threatening to him, and at that time, in the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty, their ally Liao was the most threatening object. However, what is unexpected is that the Northern Song Dynasty, which seemed to be very powerful, failed when it sent troops to attack the weak Liao State, which also shows that the Northern Song Dynasty at this time was already on the eve of destruction.

There were various factors and reasons for the fall of the Song dynasty, some of which can be considered inevitable, including the following:

1. Internal and external troubles: The Song Dynasty suffered many invasions from the outside in its later period, such as the Jin Dynasty and the Mongol Empire, and also faced the problems of internal political corruption and people's misery, which led to the country's internal and external difficulties, and it was difficult to extricate itself.

2. Economic pressure: During the Song Dynasty, with the development of the commodity economy, the social and economic structure underwent major changes, and the private economic activities were greatly developed, but the demand for taxes in the imperial court was also growing, and this contradiction made the relationship between the people and the imperial court more and more tense.

3. Insufficient military strength: The military strength of the Song Dynasty has been proven insufficient many times in the war, although the brave performance in the war is highly praised, but in some important military decisions, the Song Dynasty ** did not adopt a wise military strategy, which also led to the defeat of the imperial court in foreign wars.

4. Defects in the political system: The political system of the Song Dynasty has many problems, such as the unclear power relationship between the Song Dynasty and the local government, the serious corruption of the bureaucracy, the unreasonable appointment system, etc., which have led to the chaos and ineffectiveness of governance.

To sum up, the inevitable reasons for the fall of the Song Dynasty were many, among which political, economic, military, social and other factors interacted with each other, leading to the decline and demise of the state.

Land annexation and invasion by foreign enemies have lost the strategic barrier of Sichuan, and the coastal defense force is vulnerable, and it has been surrounded by Mongolian soldiers.

Many people think that the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was all the responsibility of Wang Anshi, and it was because Wang Anshi messed with the law that led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, there are still some people who feel that one person's decision cannot lead to the demise of a country, although Wang Anshi's change of law accelerated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it cannot all be blamed on Wang Anshi's head. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two very famous politicians, one was Wang Anshi and the other was Sima Guang.

Although there are some differences in the political views of the two of them, there is no doubt that both of them are upright men and gentlemen, and their usual actions are also very upright. <>

So their point of disagreement in politics is mainly in **? Wang Anshi believes that we must dare to innovate in politics, and if we are just conservative, there is no way out. But Sima Guang is the opposite, he thinks that if a person can't even keep the tradition, then he must be able to do anything bad.

Regardless of what Sima Guang's point of view means, Wang Anshi's point of view is indeed a bit extreme. Although innovative thinking is worth promoting, it is indeed a bit outrageous if you don't care about any tradition. But Wang Anshi is very stubborn, and once he decides something, ten cows can't pull it back.

The national strength of the Northern Song Dynasty has never been strong, so although there are sixteen states of Youyun, it is impossible to put the heavy responsibility of protecting the country on others, so Wang Anshi feels that it is better to put the control in his own hands. Therefore, Wang Anshi has always believed that if there is no reform and innovation, then the country will definitely fall into danger. Wang Anshi was also reused by Song Shenzong at that time, and he also introduced many changes.

The first is the military protection law. The main purpose of the Baojia Law is to achieve the integration of residents, ensuring that at least one or two men in each family conduct military training during the slack time, so as to ensure that troops can be mobilized at any time during the war. However, the Northern Song Dynasty had already entered the civilian society at that time, and there was no institution for the integration of soldiers and civilians, so if you insisted on changing a living situation at that time, there must be many people who opposed it.

The second is the Seedlings Law and the Market Change Law. The green seedling method is that every year when the green and yellow are not accepted, the government gives loans to the people, and then charges a relatively low interest. Although it sounded fashionable at first, there was no way to implement the economic capacity and technology at that time, so the market at that time became very chaotic.

In general, Wang Anshi's ideas were too advanced, and the national conditions and society at that time had no way to support Wang Anshi's ideas, so it led to Wang Anshi's changes and accelerated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It was the managers who did not manage the country that allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to perish, and there are many countries in our Chinese history that went from prosperity to ruin.

The real reason is that in the process of the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, there were many problems, and there were many internal contradictions, coupled with the power of the invaders, which became bigger and bigger, which caused destruction.

The real reason is that the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty is relatively weak, the emperors of the late Northern Song Dynasty are very mediocre, and many of them are not enterprising, and the most important reason is that every era will change, and every dynasty will perish.

The real reason is that the rule at that time was very dark and had lost the support of the common people.

The reasons for the fall of the Song Dynasty were manifold, including internal and external factors. The external factors mainly came from the invasion of the Mongol Empire, and the Mongol army launched three wars of aggression during the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally captured Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, forcing the Southern Song Emperor Xuantong to surrender, marking the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. Internal factors include political, military, economic, and cultural problems, such as political corruption in the Song Dynasty, infighting among the bureaucratic and dusty brigade classes, backward military equipment, bottlenecks in economic development, and gradual poverty in cultural connotation, all of which led to the decline and demise of the Song Dynasty.
