"However, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was too fatuous to listen to the slanders of traitorous ministers and deposed Li Gang. The Jin soldiers besieged Bianjing, but were unable to resist, so they directly left the city and surrendered. This caused the "Jingkang Incident", and he was captured by the Jin people and headed north. In the end, the great power of the Northern Song Dynasty was lost. It's like being ruined in the hands of these two gentlemen."

"During the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers conquered Bianliang. At this point, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Huizong, rebuilt the Song Dynasty. Because Lin'an was the capital, it was called the "Southern Song Dynasty"."

"Although the Southern Song Dynasty has long been located south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, it was a dynasty with a prosperous economy and culture and a high degree of openness to the outside world in history. The direct cause of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was the devastating blow to the advanced production relations of the Song Dynasty by the nomadic people, which had always been on the rise. The advanced Eastern civilization has gradually declined since then."

"Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, named Zhao Gou, was the son of Huizong of the Song Dynasty."

"After the Jin army kidnapped the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong rejected the main war faction and fled to Lin'an to establish the Southern Song Dynasty."

"During his reign, he was forced to appoint the anti-Jin generals Yue Fei and Han Shizhong due to the situation, and he also used Qin Hui and other surrender factions."

"During the fight against the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty once again sought peace with humiliating conditions such as ceding territory, paying tribute, and claiming vassal status, took back Han Shizhong's military power, and killed general Yue Fei."

"In 1161 AD, Emperor Wan Yanliang of the Jin Dynasty went back on his word and started war against the Southern Song Dynasty again. Song Gaozong also tried to survive by ceding territory and paying compensation, which was strongly opposed by the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"The following year, Song Gaozong abdicated and claimed to be the Supreme Emperor. His life was mediocre and incompetent, but he lived to the age of 81 and died of illness in 1187 AD."

"After Song Ningzong succeeded to the throne, he widely rewarded meritorious officials, restored the reputation of Yue Fei who was persecuted to death, and abolished Qin Hui's official position, which made people applaud."

"In 1206 AD, Han Yuanzhou suffered a disastrous defeat due to his carelessness in the Northern Expedition, and was later killed by Queen Yang. After Han Yuanzhou's death, the court fell into the hands of the Zhuhe faction."

"Two years later, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty signed the shameful "Jiading Peace Agreement" again."

"In 1224 AD, Song Ningzong died of illness at the age of 57."

"Song Lizong was the adopted son of Song Ningzong. After Song Ningzong died of illness, with the support of Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, Song Lizong successfully ascended the throne."

"But after becoming the emperor, Song Lizong ignored the government affairs and left everything to the prime minister to govern. He himself indulged in drinking and sex."

"In 1233 AD, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan died of illness. Song Lizong had no choice but to take charge of the government himself."

"Afterwards, the Mongolian army destroyed the Jin Dynasty. Song Lizong was obsessed with Neo-Confucianism, was not good at understanding people, and promoted treacherous ministers."

"In 1259 AD, the Mongolian army invaded the Song Dynasty. Jia Sidao, the powerful official of the Southern Song Dynasty, knelt down and paid tribute, seeking stability."

"In 1264 AD, Song Lizong died of illness at the age of 60."

"Song Duzong, named Zhao Ming, was originally the nephew of the previous emperor, and was later adopted as an adopted son." "After Song Duzong succeeded to the throne, he was incompetent, dissolute and immoral. He believed in the slanders of treacherous ministers, reused the powerful minister Jia Sidao, and finally simply Leave all government affairs to Jia Sidao."

"The Yuan soldiers attacked the Southern Song Dynasty and besieged Xiangyang for two years, but Jia Sidao did not report it and lied to Song Duzong that the Yuan army had withdrawn. The real situation was that the Song Dynasty was on the verge of survival, but Song Duzong was still kept in the dark. Drum."

"In 1274 AD, Song Duzong died of illness at the age of 35."

"Then the Southern Song Dynasty experienced three emperors, each of whom was in power for no more than two years."

Qin Shihuang: This is the problem between the two Song Dynasties. Song Taizu should have noticed it too!

Zhu Yuanzhang: There were many famous literati in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Su Shi, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang, but there were many famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. This may be the result of the unfair reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhu Di: During the Northern Song Dynasty, people were often ashamed of being soldiers and proud of studying, so much so that they ignored the importance of national defense. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by foreign enemies in two years, but the Southern Song Dynasty held on for more than 100 years before it fell. This shows that the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin is hard to escape the blame!

"Perhaps he is afraid! Everyone knows the story of how Zhao Kuangyin took back the power of his subordinates. It can also be seen here that he is too worried about military generals usurping power."

"During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there were many military generals. At that time, as long as they had soldiers in their hands, they were not afraid of seeing the emperor. Rebellion was even more normal. What's more, Zhao Kuangyin started his career through mutiny. Naturally, he didn't want others to seize his empire through mutiny. I would rather I think Zhao Kuangyin suppressed the generals because he was afraid that others would raise troops to rebel against him."

"The direct consequence of excessive suppression of force was that the Northern Song army had many generals, so that the Jin army destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty without much resistance. Perhaps Zhao Kuangyin really died too early. If he could have lived a few more years , he should be able to see this problem solved when he goes to war."

Kublai Khan: The Southern Song Dynasty is not as weak as everyone thinks. There are so many experienced generals. I can only say that the Southern Song Dynasty is not that easy to deal with. It just underestimates our growth.

Yongzheng: The rival of the Southern Song Dynasty is your Yuan Dynasty, right?You guys are really fierce. In my opinion, the Southern Song Dynasty was not weak, but we didn’t meet a few emperors who could take charge.

As an army that swept across the Eurasian continent, the Mongolian army easily destroyed opponents such as the Jin, Xixia, Liao, and Russian principalities. However, it took more than 60 years to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty. This shows that the Southern Song Dynasty was not as weak as people thought. , why do you often lose?That's just because the opponent is too strong. I have never felt that the Southern Song Dynasty was weak in military terms!
"Are our generals in the Central Plains region weak? The Central Plains region has never produced weak people. As a Chinese nation, it has developed from a tribal alliance in the Yellow River Basin to the largest empire in East Asia. I am afraid no one thinks that the Han people are too weak in combat. If not The Mongolian region is not suitable for Han people to live in and has been occupied for a long time. There will never be a day when the Mongolian army invades the Central Plains."

Fusu: Even though the Southern Song Dynasty had strong military capabilities, they did not have a better emperor. As for the Northern Song Dynasty, I have listened to the merits and demerits of several princes. Generally speaking, most of the nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were relatively good. Taizu Taizong conquered the country, Zhenzong and Renzong created a prosperous age, Yingzong was the turning point of the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shenzong and Zhezong worked hard to govern, but in the end, the incompetence of the Hui and Qin sects ruined the great power of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Liu Bang: Just like what Ms. Zhang said when she first introduced the second generation of Keng, in the Song Dynasty, apart from Taizu, only Renzong had quite benevolent policies, while the others were mostly mediocre people. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. The Song Dynasty The overall strength of the emperor is relatively balanced, but most of them are mediocre masters. Being an emperor really does not accomplish much.

"Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen should be regarded as the masters of the Ming Dynasty. It was a glorious and glorious era in the history of Chinese culture, and it was an era where stars gathered."

"These celebrities are so familiar to me. In my later generations, many of their deeds were filmed on TV. One TV show I particularly like to watch is "Young Bao Qingtian", which mainly tells the story of Bao Zheng solving crimes. Really very nice."
