Xining drought
Zhao Kuangyin smiled at the Khitans, but had bad intentions. In the Taizu Dynasty, the Khitans had never made any advantage in the hands of the Han people. He always circled around his own treasury, thinking about how much money he could buy a Khitan head? Zhao Guangyi fought against the Liao Kingdom, killed many Khitans, and of course more Song Dynasty people died. Although he was at a disadvantage, he never fell down. The Song Dynasty was only covered with thorns, which made the Khitan people hurt. Zhao Heng was very strange and looked the most useless, but the Liao people probably didn't understand it even if they died. He sent troops to the death and fought to the death, but he actually became a little brother? Zhao Zhen could keep everything that needed to be safe. In his hands, everything in the Song Dynasty had not changed. Even if Zhao Shu was a waste, he could continue to be stable after several years. Until this time, Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne.
Zhao Xu suddenly realized that he was many generations short. At that time, the one who was in power in the Great Liao Kingdom was Yelu Hongji's mother. He was a generational man with Song Renzong. He had to call him grandma, and even the one who was in charge of Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji was called uncle... What kind of life is this? The most shameless and most competitive person actually lost his share! The emperor is not counted, but Emperor Sun!
Shenzong was furious and became irritated with his ministers: Is it good to call her aunt? Is it good to talk about brothers with his son? All the civil and military officials in the court were silent. Shenzong was furious. He told these people a few days ago a secret. When the secret was told, he became mortal with the people of Liao and became a deadly enemy! The secret was the cause of death of Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi. We now know that he had a relapse of arrow wounds and was ineffective in the treatment. But in the Song Dynasty, this was the highest secret in the country and a taboo in the officialdom. Even if he knew it, he could not say it! The first time Song Shenzong confirmed in public that his grandfather died of arrow wounds from the people of Liao. At that time, he cried in grief and did not revenge, but called his brother and brother. What a shame!
Now my brothers can't be regarded as grandsons, but these ministers who speak benevolence, righteousness and morality, often recite slogans such as the king's worries and humiliation of ministers, and the king's humiliation of ministers, are actually indifferent to this!
In awkwardness, the old bastard Sima Guang stood up and said to the emperor on behalf of many people with kindness and ambition: Fame is just a small matter, the important thing is peace. He is both relatives and the Liao Kingdom. It is appropriate to call his grandmother a few times (fame is a small matter? I really want to ask the old bastard to read the opening chapter of "Zizhi Tongjian" written by him)
This is all the past... Song Shenzong devoted himself to the cause of reform and revitalizing the country, and gradually became less concerned about these disputes of intention, but it does not mean that he did not take the Great Liao Kingdom seriously. On the contrary, the Liao Kingdom was always the biggest nightmare in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty. The depth of this nightmare was not changed by the calmness of the Song and Liao people in recent years and the rise of the Dangxiang people. Li Yuanhao punched and kicked the neighbors, and the Song and Liao countries were both bruised and swollen.
Of course: this is not a mistake for the people of the Song Dynasty. This is a stubborn disease in China from ancient times to the present and has not been cured. China has a habit: as long as you have reached a height, it will always be a height. Specifically on the battlefield, as long as you are defeated once, 80% may become a lifelong hard work, such as Korean and Japanese phobia in football. It makes us always doubt ourselves. We always feel that our ancestors and ancestors are much better than ourselves. In thousands of years of feudal history, everything started with "how did the ancients"? Specifically on the Song Shenzong
. His ambition was once ridiculed - with the power of Taizu, he could not conquer Taiyuan in his life. With the ability of Taizong, Yan Yun was defeated. How could you speak loudly at a young age and want to be powerful in the Khitan? In today's China, you still have to discuss idiotic questions such as "the ancients are not as good as the present" or "the present is not as good as the present"... Does such a question need to be discussed? Does it need to be discussed? In fact, just look at the results of the discussion, there will be an answer. Even if you come up with the so-called correct answer of "the present is not as good as the present", can you still go back to the past?
If you defeat once, you will leave a shadow. It sounds very discouraged, but it is true in history. For example, after Yan Yun’s great defeat and Yongxi great defeat, the Song people’s psychology was completely over. The morale of the people cultivated by Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin with their undefeated achievements suddenly disappeared! Where did they go?
Why are the same wars and losses? Looking at the history of wars of foreign aliens, many people have fought for more than 100 or 00 years. As long as they fail to win or fail to achieve their wishes, they will continue to fight until their homes recover and glory returns... What is the difference? Why are the nations that are known as the most honest in China always struggle to rise but shrink quickly?
Such personality traits were not before the Song Dynasty. When the Five Barbarians invaded China, we never gave up on resistance or pursuit! But after the big bitch Zhao Guangyi came to power, this problem suddenly appeared!
What we need to note now is the deep-rooted fear of the Great Liao Kingdom by the Song Dynasty. Xiao Xi brought a letter. It comprehensively reviewed the sincere friendship and joyful years between the two sides over the past 70 years of the Chanyuan Alliance. In order to keep the joy going, I, Yelu Hongji, proposed to re-plan the border between the two countries.
Before the New Year, the Song Dynasty was trapped in the quagmire of the Battle of Song and Xia; after the New Year, the Song Dynasty is now trapped in the quagmire of the Battle of Hehuang. Song Shenzong's reaction was like his uncle Song Renzong, and quickly started the self-torture procedure and forced himself to the dead end.
In his mind, the northwest border line and the northeast border line appeared at the same time. The northwest wanted to increase troops to maintain pressure on Tubo, and at the same time, beware of the Western Xia. In the northeast, suddenly the Khitan cavalry came over...
Stop! Zhao Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore. Negotiation! Negotiation quickly! Several instructions were issued urgently: 1 Liu Chen and Lu Dazhong were envoys and accompanied Xiao Xi to the border to meet the Liao negotiation team. Han Zhen took the official letter of state to meet the Liao emperor Yelu Hongji. He sent someone to Luoyang urgently to consult with Han Qi, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and other veterans.
1074 was the year of Zhao Xu's disaster. The biggest blow to him was not that Xihe reopened the war and the Khitans came to rob him...but that from July last year to April this year, there was a drought of more than nine months, and the rain had not fallen! The great man Wang Anshi, who did not take the ancestors of heaven and earth seriously, would also pay for his strength and stop his precepts because of this drought. Now is also the time to summarize the merits and demerits of the Xining Reform in the past four years hosted by Wang Anshi:
Military, Xihe, Jinghu and Yunnan have three great victories.
The root of the Xining reform lies in the word "money". Through various new laws, the treasury taxes in the Song Dynasty increased, and the royal treasury also rose from Ren and the British dynasties to the bottom suddenly. Four years later, the Jingfu Palace would be divided into warehouses, each filled with money. Emperor Shenzong wrote a special poem about four-character and eight-line poems, and each of them was named after one of them. "Five seasons lost their pictures, and Kong Chi. The art ancestor Zhaobang, and thought of punishing Ai. So, the inner treasury was set up to recruit scholars. The great-grandson Bao
He dares to forget his ambitions. "The Five Seasons are the Five Dynasties. The Ching refers to the northwest ethnic minorities in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Here he specifically refers to the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms. The Yizu is the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. The whole poem means that the late Tang Dynasty was separated and chaos. The country lost its land during the Five Dynasties, and the foreign races were bullied wildly. Zhao Kuangyin founded the country in the face of difficulties and difficulties, regained his prestige, and punished the invaders. Therefore, he established the wealth of the inner treasury to recruit heroes. Now that I am the great grandson, how dare I forget the long-cherished ambitions of my ancestors!
After the poem was completed, the intention was still not enough, and the money was more. The emperor could not put down the warehouse. The emperor wrote another five-character and four-line poem, "Every day of pious and vigilant, I will follow my legacy. If I don't have a martial posture, when will I become a brave man?" The general meaning is to fall asleep devoutly and worry every night, experience the will of my ancestors, and with his unhealthy talent, when will I achieve my goal...
5 words, each word is posted in a conspicuous place in each library...
To say this, we want to prove Wang Anshi's new law on making money. Of course: the opposition will say that this is completely the result of excessive tax collection, and the people are complaining! But I have a lot of questions: Is this the complaints of the people or the complaints of you?
No matter how you look at it, Wang Anshi should not have lost his post and left the emperor at this time. How could this happen? The answer is the weather!
When the Song Dynasty developed to this point, everyone would always say that this was the pinnacle of China's scientific and technological civilization in the feudal era. I am also sure this is true. At least among the "Four Great Inventions" that we have always been proud of, compass, movable type printing technology, and black gunpowder were all invented or matured in the Song Dynasty. Although it is very regrettable, the "Four Great Inventions" that made the Chinese people always proud were neither proposed by the Chinese, and in the true sense it is probably inconsistent with the main theme of Chinese civilization.
The "Four Great Inventions" were first proposed by British sinologist Joseph Needham. Compared with countless inventions in China's five thousand years of history, he chose these four because he was Westerners. This is their taste.
The compass is conducive to navigation, allowing Westerners to avoid getting lost in the vast sea, allowing them to move forward with a goal and reclaim colonies. This is really great! Gunpowder makes them invincible, and all cold weapons become waste. They create more than 100 people who conquered the Inca Empire, and more than 16,000 people have entered the miracle of the capital of Beijing in 1900! Papermaking, movable type printing? These are all things of the rich and leisure class, and they cannot be tied to the common people. Don’t think that there were imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty, and civilians could become officials, and the whole nation would recognize words and read books. Today, China is still illiterate!
Perhaps: Several major inventions that truly reflect Chinese characteristics should be silk, tea, porcelain, etc.
Okay, I've talked a little more. In such a civilized, advanced and developed Song Dynasty, it made some abnormal natural phenomena dizzy! It lost the best time to cheer up the country and resist the huge disasters in the future! Should I smile at the sky? Or should I bow my head and cry? Why were there so many confused and foolish people who cut down their roots at that time? To be honest: the people who cut down at that time were full of righteousness, indignation, and full of righteousness! The reasons include both the precepts of ancient sages and the discoveries of modern sages - the four words "harmony between man and nature" are super classic. I believe every Chinese and even foreigners know...
Even all kinds of natural disasters can be linked to emperors, subjects, politics, and military. As for how to attach it, it is so rich and mysterious. At that time, few people understood it. So... all the "harmony between man and nature" is just a wishful guess from human beings, but unfortunately, there are always people who believe it unswervingly!
This happened twice during the Xining year. The first time last year, the new law was in full swing in China. Wang Shao, Zhang Dun, and Kumamoto won consecutive battles on the border, but the sudden earthquake in Huashan was caused by the mudslides rolling down, and the disaster was quite large. This was immediately captured by Wen Yanbo and others. Under the theory of "harmony between man and nature", Huashan collapsed because of the dim politics and the suffering of the people, God could not bear it anymore!
With a macro basis, Wen Yanbo can also be linked to the actual situation. He gave Shenzong a memorial, saying what he saw and thought when he went out for a leisure time: that time he went to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense. He came out of the main hall with a wide robe. He was in a good mood and walked towards the nearby trading market. He saw that the staff of the Municipal Yishi were busy in the Xiangguo Temple and the Imperial Street Commercial Bank. Perhaps their attitude was too serious, which made Wen Yanbo very unhappy. "The fruits and fruits are small, the cone knife is a competition, and the patents are exhausted, and there is not much left." In this way, there is no such thing as the majesty of my Song Dynasty? The result can only hurt the national system of our great country and make his own people disunited. What's more important is that it is very close to the embassy of foreign guests, so that they can see it. It will be ashamed [31 Novel Network �
What do you think? If you correct it as Wen Yanbo said, it is to pretend to be fat and swollen, and the most despised vain mentality! It is obvious that the founding of the Song Dynasty was money! There was no money? It had been swallowed by the tigers and wolfs around the surrounding tribes! As a result, it was embarrassing to make money seriously!
At that time, wars were tight everywhere, and the emperor withstood the pressure, ignored it, and drove Wen Yanbo out of the capital.
But the second time, the emperor was the first to be afraid. From last year to now, there has not been a drop of rain for more than nine months! Check the historical books: The scale of this drought is super large! Not only the entire north of the Song Dynasty, but also the Great Liao Kingdom in the north were also very drought! It was just that the Liao Kingdom has a small population density and its territory was too large, and it was not a pure farming economy, so it was not a pure agricultural economy, and the reaction to drought was not as great as the Song Dynasty. Especially, they did not have enough "civilization" like the Song Dynasty to exaggerate the drought and make it clear.
Zhao Xu's personality weakness was revealed at this time. Be careful when winning and always beware of the enemy's revenge. When defeating, he is brave enough to torture himself and do not need the enemy to put pressure on him. He will increase the possible consequences to the level of disaster. So no matter whether he wins or loses, he is worried and worried at all times... Later he died on this!
Faced with drought, he didn't need to remind his ministers, but he just kept muttering all day long. He caught a minister and asked, "My dear, am I doing something wrong? Do laws like Baojia, Fangtian Junshi Tax Law, Qingmiao Law, Junshi Law and other laws should all be abolished?"
