Why did the Northern Song Dynasty lose its peace and tranquility forever?

Dingnan Army in the Tang Dynasty, also known as Zhou Xia Festival, governed the five states of Xia, Sui, Yin, Yi and Yan, covering the area north of Suide in Shaanxi, east of Ningxia Road in Gansu and south of Inner Mongolia. It was occupied by Xixia in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The still water division of the Tang Dynasty governed twelve states, including Jiaozhou, covering the present-day northern Vietnam. However, the main responsibility for the final loss of Jing Shui Shi was not in the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the Southern Han regime of Guangdong and Guangxi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. However, Nanhan is only a weak separatist regime in the south, and it is inevitable that the static navy can not be preserved. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty, which basically unified the Han Dynasty, was several times stronger than the Southern Han Dynasty, and it was unreasonable to sit back and watch the loss of Jingshui division.

In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty not only failed to recover the calm, the sea of tranquility, but also failed to recover the homeland of sixteen states, which was vital to the Central Plains. Don't blame netizens for calling it poor weapons? Weak song? !

Anyway, why can't the Northern Song Dynasty, with its highly prosperous economy and culture and strong comprehensive national strength, visit these homeland from beginning to end?

In fact, this question is not difficult to answer, the reason is very simple, just four words: poor and weak!

Throughout the history of more than 300 years before and after the Song Dynasty, they are basically blood and tears movies? Beat history? Almost from the founding of the people's Republic to the subjugation of the country, they were bullied by powerful ethnic minorities in the north.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the army was still quite strong, but this was largely due to the rich family wealth left by a generation of British lords Zhou Shizong and Chai Rong. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty was able to eliminate the small political power of the southern Han nationality one by one, and basically completed the reunification of the Han nationality.

But can the Northern Song Dynasty only bully the weak? One of our own? However, if you meet the minority forces in the north, you will be abused in minutes? Beat five dregs? .

Not to mention the powerful Liao country. Song Jun, a weak chicken, is no match for Liao army at all. Even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, facing the Liao country, which had already been beaten half to death by Jin Jun, the 100,000 troops sent by the Northern Song Dynasty were still beaten out of the water by tens of thousands of Liao army remnants. Therefore, it is too difficult for him to recover Yanyun's territory in the Northern Song Dynasty!

Northwest neighbor Xixia, although the total population is not as good as that of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xixia army is fighting desperately. In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, it suffered a series of fiasco, such as the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan and the Battle of Dingchuanzhai. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty had to spend money to buy peace and give enough money to its two neighbors in the north, because it could not defeat the powerful Liao State and the irreconcilable Xixia? Protection money? , created a shame? Monetary diplomacy a year ago? . Therefore, it is difficult to recover the difficult army in the Northern Song Dynasty.
