I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【The fierce battle lasted from day to night. 】

【Although the mysterious operation of the rulers gave the Jin army a great opportunity to fight. 】

【But under the full resistance of the defenders and the people, the Jin army still could not gain a foothold in the street fighting. 】

【In the narrow streets, the cavalry could not take advantage of the charge. 】

【Moreover, the population density and housing density in the main urban area of ​​Tokyo were too high. The organized Jin soldiers rushed into the city and were quickly divided by various alleys. 】

【Then because they could not find the commander and could not get orders, they became unorganized scattered soldiers. 】

【At the same time, the people who were forced to the point of life and death and wanted to live also brought a lot of trouble to the Jin soldiers. 】

【Moreover, the Jin army only broke through the outer city of Tokyo. The regime of Zhao Song was still protected by the walls of the inner city and the imperial guards. 】

【The street fighting continued until late at night. Wanyan Zongwang, facing a situation that was getting deeper and deeper, had to order the Jin army to withdraw from the battle. 】

……

"It actually held on."

The many dynasties before the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong plane.

Many ancient people were shocked.

They thought that the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Dongjing City, was breached, but they didn't expect that the Song army and the people actually forced the Jin army to retreat.

Then how did the Northern Song Dynasty finally perish?

With this question, these ancient people continued to look at the sky screen.

……

【Wanyan Zongwang realized that if he attacked by force, he might suffer heavy losses, but the weakness of the Song Dynasty was obviously its ruler. 】

【So he changed his strategy, and this fierce prairie wolf decided to temporarily put away his fangs. 】

【He used the pretext of withdrawing troops to trick the rulers of the Song Dynasty into negotiating with Jin, and let the emperor of the Song Dynasty turn his spearhead against those who still had the courage to resist the invasion. 】

【Later facts proved that his strategy was very successful. 】

【From January to March, Zhao Huan and Prime Minister He Li and others went to the Jin army camp for negotiations many times. 】

【Since the Jurchens would not inform the content and conditions of the peace talks in advance every time, when the stupid officials of the Song Dynasty went to the Jin army camp every time, they always had no psychological expectations and did not set the slightest negotiation bottom line. 】

【The weak scholars who could only write poems and songs were scared as soon as they entered the Jin army tent. 】

【Faced with the unreasonable demands of the Jurchen generals, the rulers and officials of the Song Dynasty could only lie on the ground and agree one by one. 】

Barrage flew out:

"Too useless, at least they dared to bargain with the powers in the late Qing Dynasty, this is too shameful."

"Damn, the scholars are really useless! These civil officials who advocate peace are really a bunch of useless things!"

"Reply-Indeed, these scholars are useless, they only know about all kinds of things, poems and songs every day, and finally they are beaten by barbaric foreigners."

"Reply-In any dynasty, the surrenderists are the cancer of the country!"

"Reply-Hey 783, in the past Han and Tang dynastiesAt that time, scholars and literati were not like this. They were able to ride horses and fight. The scholars of the Song Dynasty were really useless. "

"..."

Many dynasties before the Northern Song Dynasty.

Especially many dynasties in the Western Han Dynasty.

Many scholars and literati looked at their faces with contempt.

These scholars in later generations really made their literati lose face.

The six arts of a gentleman also include archery and charioteering, not these useless things who can only write poems and songs.

……

Many dynasties in the Song Dynasty.

Many scholars and literati looked at the high-altitude barrage with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, they were unhappy and unconvinced about the people in later generations scolding "scholars are useless".

But on the other hand, those in the video in front of them The performance of the surrendering officials of the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed too shameful, and it is no wonder that they were collectively despised and insulted by people in later generations.

As scholars and literati of the Song Dynasty, many of them even felt ashamed.

……

[Faced with such a cowardly negotiating partner, Wanyan Zongwang began to ask for a sky-high price. ]

[First, he asked Zhao Huan to write a list of Song Dynasty officials who were unwilling to accept surrender. ]

[Then, he asked Zhao Huan to issue an edict to arrest all officials who insisted on resistance and bring them to the Jin army camp. ]

[For a time, there was no minister in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty who dared to disobey the demands of the Jin army. ]

The barrage flew out:

"It really makes people's blood pressure soar!"

"Years of low blood pressure have been cured, it's simply a medical miracle!"

"Now you know why those generals who came to support the king didn't come? ”

“Fuck, this is too outrageous!”

“…”

The Great Song Taizu plane.

Zhao Kuangyin’s face was ashen, and veins on his hands were bulging.

At this time, he was furious.

This Zhao Heng was not only extremely cowardly, but also extremely stupid.

How could his Great Song fall into the hands of such a waste?

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Guangyi in the hall, his eyes getting colder and colder.

…

[Then, the Jin army began to demand that the Song Dynasty supply food, gold, silver and women to calm the army. The rulers of the Song Dynasty also did not dare to disobey and did it one by one.]

[Faced with such a docile ruler of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang’s appetite also grew bigger and bigger . 】

[The withdrawal fee, measured in gold, silver, and brocade, also rose to "100,000 ingots, 100,000 pieces", a sky-high price that could not be collected even if the ground in Tokyo was dug three feet deep. 】

[At this time, what Wanyan Zongwang had to do was to squeeze out the last bit of wealth in Tokyo to disintegrate the remaining resistance in the city. 】

[He wanted to tell Zhao Huan that if he wanted to survive, he had to use the whole city's strength to meet his requirements. 】

[He also said that if he could not come up with enough supplies to pay for the withdrawal fee, he could arrange for the women of all the people in the city to compensate. 】

[The Jin army marked out clear prices for everything from queens and princesses to folk women and singing girls. 】

[At this time, the Song Dynasty ruledThe rulers can only accept orders numbly. 】

【At this time, the city walls that originally protected the people became cages that trapped the people, and the Song army that was responsible for protecting the lives and property of the people became violent tools for plundering wealth and abducting women. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Too fucked up, submissive to the outside world, and heavy punches to the inside, such a coward deserves to perish."

"Extremely cowardly, spineless dynasty!"

"No, my blood pressure is really soaring!"

"The two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, and that group of civil officials, are really worthy of being useless things that will be infamous for thousands of years."

"Song Qinzong Zhao Heng's position in the list of incompetent emperors needs to be improved."

"..."

Many dynasties before the Northern Song Dynasty.

Many ancient people were stunned.

Song Qinzong's series of operations really refreshed their understanding of incompetent emperors.

They never expected that there would be such a foolish, incompetent, cowardly and stupid emperor in the world.

Instantly.

Many ancient people began to curse Song Qinzong Zhao Heng.

And even in many dynasties after the Song Dynasty, many people who had read history books and knew this period of history were also aroused with anger at this time.

So they also began to curse Song Qinzong.

Such a great tyrant deserves to be infamous for thousands of years.

……

The Great Song Taizu plane.

In the palace hall, there was a dead silence.

Zhao Kuangyin on the dragon throne and the officials of the Great Song in the hall were all silent.

At this time, in addition to great anger, they also felt great shame.

It was really shameful for the dignified Great Song to fall to this point.

……

【Once the order was issued, chaos broke out in the city, fires were set off everywhere, the people were crying and shouting, and the hellish torture lasted for two months. 】

【When Zhao Huan could no longer offer any gold, silver, silk and women, Wanyan Zongwang knew that Dongjing Bianliang had been captured without a single drop of blood. 】

【The martial Jurchens also did not let the cowardly emperor go. They did not execute Zhao Huan and his father, and even kept their promise and withdrew their troops. 】

【However, Wanyan Zongwang did not agree to Zhao Huan's request to "administer the Han territory on behalf of the Jin Kingdom." 】

【Under the escort of the Jin soldiers, the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, together with all the royal family members they could find, as well as important ministers and useful craftsmen, totaling more than 10,000 people, went north together. 】

【On the road, except for the craftsmen, the royal family members and the nobles were not provided with food, and most of the princes, officials and their families starved to death on the road. 】

Barrage flew out:

"It's what they deserve. They deserved to die."

"It's a pity that they didn't starve to death."

"You see, the wild Jurchens all know that craftsmen are more important."

"That's right, craftsmen are much more useful than nobles."

"..."

Many emperors in the past dynasties nodded slightly. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!）

After watching many videos on the giant screen in the sky, they already knew the importance of craftsmen.

Many of them have already had the idea of ​​greatly improving the treatment of craftsmen in the future.

……

[Looking back at the entire siege of Tokyo Bianliang, it is not difficult to find that the peace faction has been influencing the progress of the situation. ]

[They forced the pro-war generals in the court to leave, made the emperor give up the defense of Taiyuan, and ordered all the loyal troops not to rescue him. ]

[Finally, they completely persuaded the emperor and the prime minister to surrender to the Jin army. It can be said that they disintegrated the resistance of the Song Dynasty step by step. ]

[From our perspective, this is a complete act of collusion with the enemy. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"I'll say it again, either the peace advocates or the surrenderists."

"These surrenderists should be cut into pieces!"

(caed)"Without the actions of this group of surrenderists, the Northern Song Dynasty might not have been destroyed."

"Reply--Indeed, these bastards forged the imperial edict to prevent the southern army from coming to the throne, and they really deserve to die!"

"..."

Hearing this.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties, like those later generations who posted the bullet screen, despised these surrenderist civil servants in the Northern Song Dynasty. []

In their eyes, these people were treacherous ministers who brought disaster to the country and the people.

……

The plane of Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin began to reflect in his heart.

He felt that the Great Song Dynasty was indeed too indulgent towards civil servants.

The court's preferential treatment of civil officials made these civil officials despise the imperial power and act recklessly.

This situation must be changed in this life.

"The rule of not killing scholars and officials, which was left to the emperors of the Song Dynasty in later generations, can be abolished."

This thought came to Zhao Kuangyin's mind.

...

[But did they really collaborate with the enemy? ]

[If we say that the Jin Kingdom bribed Qin Hui of the Southern Song Dynasty later, we can still understand it. ]

[But at this time, it was obviously unlikely that the poor and backward Jurchen tribe could bribe so many Song Dynasty officials in just two years. ]

[With such doubts, I checked the endings of several peace advocates. ]

[Tang Ke, who prevented the border troops from coming to the king, committed suicide by taking poison in 1127. ]

[Geng Nanzhong did not record the cause of death, but he also died in 1129. 】

[The Prime Minister He Li, who finally turned to the surrender faction, also died of hunger strike in 1127. 】

[Most of them died with dignity. Almost all the ministers in Tokyo who advocated peace were in a miserable situation and showed no signs of changing their allegiance. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Bah, those rubbish also talk about dignity? It's too easy for them to die like this. These people should be cut into pieces!"

"Bullshit dignity, just a group of self-righteous idiots."

"Talking without doing anything", dying for the king in times of danger, being useless is a scholar, haha."

"..."

The whole screen was filled with insults to Tang Ge, Geng Nanzhong, He Li and other ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty who advocated peace.

Looking at this scene.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were not surprised at all.

Based on what those people did, they were destined to be sinners of China forever and would be infamous for thousands of years.

……

[That is to say, the peace advocates in the court at that time really thought that as long as they sincerely ceded land and paid compensation, The Jin Kingdom would be able to withdraw its troops. 】

[Why did this happen? 】

[There is no relevant record in historical materials. 】

[But as far as the policies consistently implemented by the rulers of the Song Dynasty are concerned, the court has long implemented a policy of respecting culture and suppressing military power, and the policy of not punishing censors. When facing a powerful enemy, when people should have been united against the enemy, some weak bones shook people's hearts when the war situation was unfavorable. 】

[But this should not be the most fundamental reason. 】

……

"? ”

Many ancient people in all dynasties showed puzzled expressions in their eyes.

The reason they originally thought was the same.

But from the tone of people in later generations, it seems that there are deeper reasons.

What could it be?

Many ancient people thought about it while looking at the giant screen in the sky, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

[Do you remember the reason why we analyzed the prosperity of cities in the Northern Song Dynasty last time?]

[ The Song Dynasty, which did not implement equal distribution of land and did not use agricultural taxes as the main source of taxation, unexpectedly pointed out the technology tree of supporting merchants and developing overseas trade. 】

[This made the Song Dynasty, where peasants were constantly revolting, the main source of wealth growth came from commodity trading and import and export, rather than crop output. 】

[The real money brought by trade was far more attractive to officials than the crops grown by farmers. 】

[Even if they moved to the south, the rulers of the Song Dynasty could still continue to gain wealth through overseas trade and maintain the extremely high salary level of officials. 】

[If it were placed in other dynasties that used cultivated land as the main tax base and closely tied the ministers' salaries to the land in the suburbs of Beijing. 】

[Ministers who lost their fiefdoms in the suburbs of Beijing and their hometowns, as well as the farmers on the fiefdoms, would lose all their wealth. 】

[In order to defend their vested interests, are they willing to cede land and make peace? 】

[What's more, if the people are still working on the land they have been managing for generations, then they Wouldn't they obey the court's call to defend their own land? 】

[However, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that did not suppress land annexation from the beginning. 】

[The interests of the land were only bound to the old landlords inherited from the previous dynasty. A large number of people were either refugees or bandits, and those who were lucky became citizens. 】

[Will they fight to defend that empty territory? 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the giant screen in the sky, his eyes full of thought.

The answers to these questions are obvious.

In this case, in order to protect their own wealth, the so-called peace-loving ministers of the Song Dynasty will most likely become war-loving ministers.

However.

The problem that Li Shimin is considering now is deeper.

According to this statement, the Song Dynasty used commerce rather than land income as the main tax base, which made the country lack the determination to defend its territory from top to bottom.

Does this mean that the policy of "reinforcing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and taking agriculture as the basis" that more dynasties in China insisted on is correct?

Li Shimin shook his head.

From the experience of later generations, this is not the case.

Only by starting the industrial revolution and embarking on the road of industrialization can the country become stronger.

This is the right path.

……

[Looking back on this period of history, the image of the Song Dynasty is the favorite of the great powers in modern times. ]

[It is rich and cowardly. 】

[For the sake of their own rule, the rulers used poetry and songs to suppress the Chinese nation's ambition to make achievements and pacify the world. 】

[If it is not the last moment of life and death, a general with integrity and talent will never stand out in the chattering court. 】

The barrage flew out:

"A famous general Di Qing has become a privy councilor, but he is still excluded by the civil service group. He will probably remember the saying that only those who are called out outside Donghua Gate are good men for the rest of his life."

"Reply - bullshit good men, just a bunch of useless things who can only talk big."

"Reply - Haha, many of these surrender ministers are Jinshi graduates, they are really good men in Han Qi's eyes."

"..."

Northern Song plane.

Han Qi was dejected and silent.

He once humiliated Di Qing by saying that only those who were called out outside the Donghua Gate were good men.

But now, after watching the whole process of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, he could only be speechless in the face of the ridicule of him and the civil service group by people in later generations. .
