What are the specific reasons for the decline of Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin in the Southern Tang Dynasty?

The story of Song Taizu Sanyou Caotang in the Southern Tang Dynasty was widely circulated among the people. Whether it is a novel or a drama, this story is interpreted incisively and vividly. Because of its long history,

Song Taizu, who killed hero Zheng En by mistake, was dissatisfied with the red-browed bodhi old zu. He asked his apprentice Yu Hong to join Li Jing's camp in the Southern Tang Dynasty and launched an uprising in an attempt to rebel. Song Taizu personally led his troops, but he was trapped in Shouzhou City.

Both real history and fictional fairy tales can help us understand history to some extent. The story of Song Taizu's Three Downs cast a mysterious color on Zhao Kuangyin.

What is Song Taizu's unification strategy?

Zhao Kuangyin was the first emperor in the Song Dynasty. He is a first-rate emperor. After Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself emperor, he adopted a series of reform measures, which greatly developed economy, politics and culture.

And actively used foreign troops, quickly eliminated many separatist forces and greatly increased the land area. What is Zhao Kuangyin's unified strategy of using foreign troops? Zhao Kuangyin's unification strategy is "south before north, easy before difficult". Zhao Kuangyin's unification strategy is "South first, then North, easy first, then difficult". Zhao Kuangyin's strategy is to capture Jingnan and Xiangnan adjacent to the north and south, with Nantang in the east, Houshu in the west and Nanhan in the south. Therefore, if we occupy Jing and Hu, we can divide the countries in the south of the Yangtze River in two and carve them up one by one. So I decided to find an opportunity to send troops to Jing and Hu. In 963 AD, the Song Dynasty captured this area, which created favorable conditions for the unification of the South.

What is the title of Song Taizu?

The year number is a method for the ancient emperors of China to determine the year. This method was invented by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, who was a famous emperor. Since then, kings of all dynasties have used it, including the Song Dynasty. Song Taizu used the least number of titles in this dynasty, but he also used three.

Song Taizu's first national name was Stegosaurus. As the name implies, it means "prosperous construction". There is an allusion at the beginning of this title called "wearing a yellow robe". At first, Song Taizu was not an emperor, but a general with relatively great power.

Because the emperor can't, it means taking his place. When someone guessed his idea, they started an event and put the dragon robe on Song Taizu. Since then, a new dynasty has been established in Song Taizu. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he must use a new title. His title is "Stegosaurus".

The second title is Gander, which means "Thank God for his mercy". When Song Taizu took over the Song Dynasty for the first time, everything was in ruins, but later, due to his efforts, the situation changed a lot.

So he will change a new title to celebrate. In order to express their particularity, they were asked to come up with a year number that no one had ever used. So his men came up with the word "Gander". Although it was later proved that Hou Shu used this word, the meaning of this word is still good.

The third title is Kaibao, which is the longest title in Song Taizu. The meaning of "Kaibao" does not need to be explained too much, and many small countries have begun to adopt this title. At this time, Song Taizu has basically unified the whole country. A brief account of Song Taizu's lifting of soldiers' drinking rights. Lifting soldiers' drinking rights is the most striking thing that Song Taizu did after he became king. There have been different opinions on this matter. Although this incident made the culture of the Song Dynasty develop unprecedentedly to a certain extent, it also made the military strength of the Song Dynasty particularly weak. The story happened in the second year of Stegosaurus. Zhao Kuangyin hosted a banquet for Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide and other senior generals of the Imperial Army, and made a speech at the banquet, which scared Shi Shouxin and others to call themselves old and weak the next day. Ask for the lifting of military power and the return of the army. At this kind of banquet, the general relieved the relieving of military power easily and peacefully without moving a single soldier. This is called a glass of wine to relieve the relieving of military power. It is true that Zhao Kuangyin did this in order to strengthen centralization and consolidate imperial power. At the same time, he is also trying to avoid the yellow robe from happening to his generals.

Song Taizu sincerely accepted wuyue's story.

Song Taizu was a wise emperor. Whether it is the incident of "replacing soldiers with cups" or the incident of "adding yellow robes", his foresight is everywhere. This is also his wisdom.

Let him step by step from a nobody to the throne and move towards the height of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. His eyes that penetrate people's hearts always go straight into others' hearts and hit the key. Today's "Sincerely Accepting Five Mountains" story is no exception.

Instead of persuading Wuyue, he tried his best to win. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin had pacified Nantang and decided to annex wuyue with great fanfare. Qian Chu, king of wuyue, who knows the truth that "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", realizes that the security of his country is at stake. So he took a map of his own country and went to Zhao Kuangyin in person to show his obedience.

Although Qian Chu should have submitted to DaSong, in fact he was lucky. He wanted to bribe the minister of the DPRK to save Wu Yueguo, and Zhao Jin, the prime minister, was the focus of his bribe. But he has been active for several months, and there is no result in wanting to return to China. Ministers begged Zhao Jin to be killed or taken hostage, but Zhao Kuangyin decided to put him back. Ministers can't understand that Song Taizu's behavior is tantamount to releasing the tiger to the mountain. If he misses this good opportunity, it will be difficult to control wuyue in the future.

Actually, Zhao Kuangyin is not stupid. He sent Qian Chu home for his own purposes. It turned out that when Qian came out of the Song Dynasty, he was given a basket of memorials written by ministers against the repatriation of money. Qian Chu was moved not only by his sincerity, but also by his strength. After half a year, he dedicated it to the city. In this way, Zhao Kuangyin made wuyue surrender to him without a single soldier. This is not a test.
