Drinking was prevalent in the Song Dynasty, but why didn t the rulers stop it?

I think there are three reasons why the Song Dynasty had a prevalent drinking in the army, but the rulers did not stop it, the system, the preferences of the rulers, and the special situation of the military generals. The fact that alcohol was allowed in the Song Dynasty was related to the special national conditions of the Song Dynasty.

As a result of the system, the Song Dynasty had a special system at the beginning of its establishment, which created very good conditions for drinking alcohol in the Song Dynasty army. The Song Dynasty had a system called "minister money", and this minister money was the entertainment expenses of all levels. In the Song Dynasty, ** at all levels could receive a special fee for entertainment in the imperial court, in other words, the state allowed ** and military generals to gather.

From ancient times to the present day in our country, as long as it is a banquet, there are few people who do not drink, so many generals will borrow "minister's money" to drink with their colleagues. Some people also suggested that this system should be revised, but Song Zhenzong said that this was an old system and could not be easily changed.

The ruler's preference The officials of the Song Dynasty were very fond of drinking, which is why he allowed alcohol in the army. The emperors of the Song Dynasty liked to drink since Zhao Kuangyin, who was a military general himself, and it had become a habit for him to drink. Zhao Kuangyin not only loves to drink, he also likes to solve problems at the wine table, and everyone should be familiar with the famous cup of wine to release military power.

Influenced by Zhao Kuangyin, the emperors of the Song Dynasty also liked to drink. In addition, the economy of the Song Dynasty was very developed, so drinking alcohol in the Song Dynasty was not a very strict thing. It is precisely because of this that the generals are not forbidden to drink alcohol.

We all know that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed military force, and the status of military generals was relatively low. Because Zhao Kuangyin himself seized power through the army, he was very strict with his precautions against military generals. In order to prevent the generals from having too many rights, the Song Dynasty imposed a lot of restrictions on them, even to the point of harshness.

Because there are more restrictions on military generals in terms of rights, they are relatively relaxed in other aspects.

Because the ruler of the time, he himself liked to drink. A lot of political problems were also solved through alcohol. At that time, the economy was relatively developed, and it was able to provide enough alcohol for the army to consume.

Because there were many wars at that time, and the soldiers were hard, they would drink alcohol to relieve them, and the rulers would turn a blind eye.

Because the generals have the early Song Dynasty"Minister money"The system guaranteed that wine could be drunk openly and openly, and that the commodity economy was developed and that it was able to produce enough wine for military consumption.

It's not all Zhao Kuangyin still attached importance to martial arts when he was in power, and it was also a gathering of famous generals at that time, but it was also pressed and beaten by the Liao State, because the Song State was congenitally deficient, surrounded by a group of enemies, and the Central Plains was congenitally lacking war horses The Song Dynasty lasted for three hundred and twenty years in the north and south, and the enemies encountered the most and most of these enemies were northern nomads, and it happened to be the period of their rise Unlike the Turks in the early Tang Dynasty, they were about to decline.

I feel that the Song Dynasty was very cowardly, and I paid tribute to Jin, Liao, and Xia.

The Song Dynasty was a more civilized dynasty, so it didn't like to see people who were addicted to alcohol.

The rulers of the Song Dynasty hated the phenomenon of corruption, so they established a series of rules and regulations, including not allowing them to enter the wine store. It is also to make politics clearer.

Because the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized literature over military force, the Song Dynasty's ** did not enter the wine shop, and gradually there were regulations.

The Song Dynasty's ** was mainly a large number of civil officials, and if they were greedy for alcohol, it was equivalent to a symbol of corruption.

Zhao Kuangyin, because his position is not above board, so he is most afraid that others will also play this hand on him, the best way is, of course, to completely cut off the claws that may reach out to the highest power, and this claw is military power. So after he came to power, in order to avoid the recurrence of the "tragedy", he immediately came to a "glass of wine to release the military power". Then come a yellow robe.

The creation of a country is the goal of the founders of every dynasty, and after the establishment of the dynasty, unless they are faced with life and death, they will accept the emperor's arrangement, and the Song Dynasty will give Houlu.

Because everyone was called into the palace at that time, and the palace was full of the emperor's people, and the emperor asked you to hand over the power, but you didn't pay it, didn't you make it clear that I wanted to rebel? Can you get out alive?

The military is slowly falling behind, and backwardness is easy to be encroached upon.

As a result, the emphasis on literature and light on military force led to the loss of the following battles.

As a result, the general's control over the soldiers weakened and he did not continue to win the battle.

As a result, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, and was strong in the outside world, so it was bullied by the three dynasties in the north in the later period, and finally fell into a corner of peace, and finally lost the country!

The main reason is not this, but the Song Dynasty at that time emphasized literature and light military force. As a result, many capable warriors were not taken seriously in the Song Dynasty, and the release of military power with a glass of wine was one of them.

I think that the release of military power with a glass of wine may also be one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty was defeated by foreign enemies, but it should not be the main reason, the main reason is that the Song Dynasty attached importance to governing the world with literature, and did not pay attention to the training of soldiers and horses.

I think the reason for their repeated defeats should be because the emperor was not particularly good at that time, and then they emphasized literature over military force, so they led to their later defeat on the battlefield and left a painful lesson.

There may be some reasons for this! Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a glass of wine, and the Song Dynasty also emphasized literature and light military force, probably to ensure that its position was not threatened, so the army was indeed incapable of resisting foreign enemies, which caused its repeated defeats.

It's not just because of the release of military power with a glass of wine, the founding army of the Song Dynasty is still very strong, but it's a pity that the internal contradictions are worried, so the national style is heavy on literature and light on military force, so no one can fight in the future.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, partly because Zhao Kuangyin's throne was not properly named, and his words were not good. So he was afraid that someone would follow his example and usurp his military power. Therefore, I think this is one of the main reasons for the defeat of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao Mutiny relied on force to sit on the world, and avoided the repetition of history through a series of policies such as releasing military power with a glass of wine, emphasizing literature over military force, etc., resulting in no generals in the Song Dynasty who could lead troops to fight to resist the invasion of the Khitan, Western Xia, and Mongolia, and could only rely on Nagong to maintain the apparent peace of the Song Dynasty, so that the Song Dynasty finally fell under the Mongol iron cavalry.
