Song Huizong's strategy of boiling frogs in warm water worked.
When they sent troops to Qinghai, they didn't think the emperor would win, and they were even prepared to laugh.
But the emperor won, and his achievements surpassed Mr. Zhao Er, the God of Chariots on the Gaoliang River. He was the first emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty to expand territory except Taizu. This gave him a lofty status, and he was immediately captured
The military spirit was restored.
He developed agriculture and handicrafts, increased employment opportunities and reduced taxes for the people, established national charities, nursing homes, etc., and gained public support.
Seeing that he had become popular and began to take back the power monopolized and occupied by civil servants, the civil servants became anxious. The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty suffered from mental problems within a few years of being the emperor. The main reason was that the palace was controlled by civil servants, and many women who entered the palace were
The eyes and ears that civil servants put in.
The main reason why Huizong was able to achieve so many achievements was that he could not insert the needle or pour the water into the harem management. Otherwise, he would have lost his nerve just when he wanted to achieve something.
At this time, these civil servants refused to restrain themselves, and they simply became angry.
If you can't defeat Hui Zong at home, then introduce foreign enemies and recruit golden soldiers. The promised benefits are the same as when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty hired Shatuo people to take back Luoyang. The gold and silver women in Tokyo can be robbed at will.
Then, more than 200,000 Western troops were ordered to retreat as soon as they won the battle. The Ministry of War kept sending them into the trap of the Jin soldiers. All kinds of intelligence were continuously sent to the Jin army. They even opened the city directly.
Open the door to let them in.
They launched a coup and captured Huizong directly and sent him to Jiangnan for custody.
Didn't the northern gentry support Huizong, so they were severely punished. In the Southern Song Dynasty, they killed Yue Fei because he was from the north. They also tried to rescue Huizong.
They simply did their best to draw the Huaihe River as a boundary and gave the northern gentry directly to the Jin people.
Now, Song Dynasty was completely left to their own devices.
The northern gentry hated them so much that they first took refuge in the Jin Dynasty, then the Mongols, and went south to massacre the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Those who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty were all Han generals, and they were all northern gentry who were thrown to the Jin Kingdom.
This resulted in the conflict between the North and the South.
The main internal contradictions in China are divided into two periods. Before the Tang Dynasty, the imperial capital swung east and west on the Longhai Railway. At that time, the main contradiction was the contradiction between the Guanzhong nobles and the Hebei gentry. This contradiction began when Qin Shihuang unified the six countries.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial capital began to move north and south along the Grand Canal, starting from Peking, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. The contradictions between the ruling classes within China transformed into conflicts between the north and the south.
The split of the Confucian family in Qufu is a symptom of this contradictory transformation. The Confucian family moved south to Quzhou, Zhejiang, while the second family stayed in Qufu.
When Zhu Yuanzhang went north to regain the Central Plains, the north had been cut off by foreigners since the end of the Tang Dynasty. It was successively ruled by the Khitan, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties (the author does not think that the Northern Song Dynasty was a unified dynasty, it could only be regarded as a political power within the scope of China at that time.
one of the.)
If this were done in Europe, the nation would be divided. Fortunately, our nation has strong cohesion.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a big picture in mind, was bold and broad-minded. He directly recognized the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty as the Chinese orthodoxy and reaffirmed that the Ming Dynasty was a multi-ethnic unified country. At a critical crossroads in history, he chose the right direction.
In order to unify the north and the south, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to appoint a descendant of Beikong as Yanshenggong. When seeking the opinion of Nankong, Nankong said that Beikong had done a good job in preserving the ancestral inheritance, and anyone from Nankong who dared to fight would be expelled from the family tree. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was so moved that he even said
It is truly worthy of being a descendant of a saint.
The resurgence of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty once again brought the country to the brink of danger.
After the Qing army entered the Pass, the northern gentry surrendered. In fact, the northern gentry relied on the power of the Qing army to attack the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Last time you did the first grade of junior high school, this time I do the fifteenth grade.
The several massacres in the south of the Yangtze River actually involved northern gentry. You have made the people in the north miserable, and after the harm is over, you want to just slap your butt and leave, no way!
During the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus united with the Mongols and the northern gentry as a trinity to suppress the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Literary prisons, tax increases, and restrictions on imperial examinations were all created.
Why were the revolutions in the late Qing Dynasty all initiated from the south? The unification of the Republic of China was a north-south model that was rare in history, rather than the usual north-south model. I won’t go into detail later.
Chongzhen had a gloomy look on his face. To be honest, he didn't know if Yuan Chonghuan was going to take a risk or if Donglin was going to take a risk. He had no evidence, but he felt that he was threatened.
Last time, he originally wanted to control Yuan Chonghuan, but Yuan Chonghuan was not stupid and took the hostages. He asked him to throw a rat weapon into his trap. He had no choice but to act out a play for him.
Chongzhen's performance of undressing and pushing food was actually not sincere at all. But even if the emperor was performing, it was still a great favor. Unfortunately, this guy still couldn't forget to lead the troops. Chongzhen's anger surged, and his face became darker.
His hair was livid.
At this juncture, if an accident occurs, there are many possibilities.
Donglin has reached the end of its rope. They have made everything a mess. Since they came to power, corruption has become common and the court is extremely corrupt. There are countless corruption cases caught by the emperor. The administrative efficiency is extremely low.
, these people are no better than petty officials in terms of practical work except talking words.
The disarmament led to a mutiny in Jizhou, and after five years of restoration, not even an inch of land was recovered. Two million taels of money were allocated to buy horses, but not a single horse was seen, and the money was gone.
When the Jiannu troops came to the city, the 100,000 Liaodong cavalry that Chongzhen had been longing for did not come, and only more than 9,000 Guanning Army cavalry came. Chongzhen was so angry that he cried bitterly in front of Queen Zhou.
If one hundred thousand cavalry had been implemented, the situation would still be the same today.
Not to mention that the cavalry was gone, Yuan Chonghuan promised to prevent the slaves from crossing Jimen. The result was such a slap in the face. More than 200,000 slaves escaped that day. Ironically, Yuan
The Governor's Letter of Guarantee and Jian Nu arrived at the imperial capital at the same time.
Chongzhen was thinking silently in his mind that it was possible for Donglin to jump over the wall and let Yuan Chonghuan enter the city to stage a mutiny and seize his gate. Donglin could continue to dominate the imperial court. Yuan Chonghuan wanted to establish his own business and seize the gate to control the capital. It was a possibility for him to become Dong Zhuo.
possible.
It is every possibility that Yuan Chonghuan and Concubine Zheng collude to seize his own house and support Prince Fu to ascend to power.
Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji exchanged letters. It is possible that they had conspired and cooperated internally and externally. There are many clues to this suspicion, including private correspondence, private negotiations, the white lama working as a courier, etc. This time, Jizhou Shou was dismissed.
The army, the establishment of slaves and infiltration, etc. He was asked to enter the city to face the saint, and he was still frightened and took hostages. This all shows that there is something wrong with him.
How can he know what this southern barbarian is thinking? He can't put his own safety to the test. He can only take measures to nip problems in the bud and nip all possibilities in the bud.
