Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky screen appeared, and a map of the Northern Song Dynasty appeared on the screen.

They are the territories during the founding period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the middle period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and before the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It can be seen that before the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Just reached the peak of his territory.

Then, Tianmu began to tell the story.

[“The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged”, this cry of grief and indignation that has been passed down through the ages fully expresses the pain of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.]

【So, the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was a historical inevitability.】

【Or was it a sudden accident? 】

[How did it come to an end at the peak of the dynasty? ]

【Today's video will take you to find out. 】

【First, let’s draw conclusions. 】

【The Jingkang Disaster and the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty were actually the result of a series of wrong decisions made by the Northern Song Dynasty.】

[If any of these mistakes could be avoided, perhaps history would be rewritten.]

【We start from the defense of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

【Let’s take a look at the real reason for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty】

[Is it because the country's military power is weak, or is it because the emperor and his ministers are stupid and incompetent? 】

[In 1125, after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it quickly turned its attention to the Northern Song Dynasty.]

[The Jin Kingdom was originally a powerful military and ambitious country.]

【And the Jin Kingdom also had sufficient reasons to attack the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

[Earlier, Song Huizong had agreed with the Kingdom of Jin to jointly attack the Liao, but in the diplomatic process, he frequently played tricks and broke his promise.]

[He even incited the Liao surrendered generals to revolt, trying to stir up civil unrest in the Jin Dynasty and reap the benefits.]

[This behavior made the Jin people extremely angry.]

【What's worse is that it happened as early as the Song-Jin alliance. 】

[The Song army was beaten badly by the remnant Liao army, exposing its low combat effectiveness.]

[In the face of the fierce and ferocious Jin Kingdom, they still violated the alliance and provoked the Jin Kingdom. 】

【Then Song Huizong did not even actively prepare for war. 】

[It would be hard for the Jin Kingdom not to notice the weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty. ]

[The Jin Kingdom, which was already ambitious, would naturally not miss this "good opportunity." ]

……

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw this, he also recalled what he had seen on the sky curtain before.

Ying Zheng said slowly:

“I remember Tianmu once talked about Yelu Dashi.

"It is said that the remnant of the Liao army, which was about to be destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, was able to beat the Song Dynasty, which was attacking from the south with great momentum."

"That is to say, the Song army's combat effectiveness is not only inferior to that of the Jin, but even inferior to that of the Liao, which was beaten badly by the Jin."

"Under such circumstances, with the fierce army of the Jin people, I'm afraid they will definitely not let the future Song Dynasty go."

"hehe."

"No wonder there was an Arabic proverb on the sky screen, which goes, 'Don't get angry easily, because others will know that you have no other options but to get angry.'"

"The same is true of the Song Dynasty."

"Since their military strength is weak, they should not show off their military strength in front of the Jin people."

"Now Tianmu is saying that Emperor Huizong of Song is not actively preparing for war."

"No wonder the Northern Song Dynasty, which had a large land area, was destroyed by the Jin people."

"I am afraid that I will see the Jin army win victory after victory and crush the main force of the Northern Song Dynasty with great force."

"And then destroy the Northern Song Dynasty?"

The sky continues.

[The Jin army was divided into two routes. The Western Route Army was led by Wanyan Zonghan, whose command value in the famous Three Kingdoms game MOD Bloody Clothes was 92. ]

[Same as Zhou Yafu, Geng Yan, Lian Po, Zhao Kuangyin, Pei Xingjian and others. ]

【The Western Route Army points its sword towards Shanxi.】

[The Eastern Army was led by Wanyan Zongwang, whose command value in the famous Three Kingdoms game MOD Bloody Clothes is 90. ]

[Same as Yelu Dashi, Sun Bin, Lu Xun, Ban Chao, Hulugu Guang and others. ]

[The Eastern Route Army is responsible for attacking Hebei.]

[Faced with the aggressive Jin army, the cities and counties of the Northern Song Dynasty fought on their own, without any unified command, and could only be defeated one by one. ]

[Large tracts of land in the north fell.]

[Tracing back to the source, this stems from the Northern Song Dynasty’s national policy of “emphasizing culture over military power.” ]

[The imperial court was always unwilling to centralize military power.] [It did not even establish a military commander at the provincial level, which became a key factor in the military weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty.]

Barrage:

"The Song Dynasty learned from the lessons of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and did not dare to concentrate too much military power."

"Don't blame the Song Dynasty. The mess left by the Tang Dynasty was too bad. The chaos in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties was like a nightmare from hell. Whoever came would have to suppress the military."

"Yes, it's too bad!"

"Congenital deficiency? I think Han, Tang and Ming didn't get Yanyun for nothing."

"Blame the Tang Dynasty for its bad situation? If the situation wasn't bad, how could you, the Song Dynasty, have taken your turn? Why didn't you become emperor during the reign of Li Shimin? The situation wasn't bad then!"

"Taiyuan held out for nine months but no reinforcements arrived."

"All the Calabash Brothers are here to save Grandpa!"

"At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty did not pay much attention to the north of the Yellow River. It basically developed as it pleased, with only one big city, Jinan Prefecture. "

"Alas, the eternal pain of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Central Plains has always been defenseless in the eyes of the northern forces. "

……

Canopy.

[However, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Song soldiers at that time was still good, at least they were quite capable in defending the city. ]

[In the Taiyuan defense battle, the Song army fought bloody battles and stubbornly blocked the offensive of the Jin army from the west. ]

[In comparison, the Jin Kingdom's Eastern Route Army made relatively smooth progress. ]

[The Hebei Plain is flat, and some cities were either conquered or chose to surrender.]

【But there were also cities that held out and refused to surrender. 】

[Initially, the Eastern Army commander did not intend to force a crossing of the Yellow River, after all, it was extremely difficult and the rear was unstable.]

[The Jin people were also afraid of repeating the mistakes of the camel rider Yelu Deguang. ]

[However, the Northern Song general who surrendered beside him said:]

[“Don’t be afraid! I know the Song Dynasty too well. The Song Dynasty’s military defenses are very lax, and there is an opportunity for us to take advantage of.”]

【So, the Jin army marched towards the Yellow River with a tentative attitude. 】

[What was the situation of the Yellow River defense line in the Northern Song Dynasty? 】

[In fact, troops were deployed on both sides of the river, but the Song army was defeated before the Jin army arrived.]

[When the Jin army arrived at the Yellow River, there was no army guarding it.]

[The Jin people came from the north, but they didn't have many naval forces at all. After searching for a long time, they only relied on a dozen small boats and spent several days to complete the crossing.]

[The commander of the Jin army sighed: "There are no useful men in the Southern Dynasty. If there are more than a thousand soldiers guarding the south bank, our army will never be able to cross the river."]

[This was the first fatal mistake made by the Northern Song Dynasty.]

……

When commentators saw this high blood pressure operation, they all started to complain.

"Ah? Who is this surrendered general? He knows the Song Dynasty too well."

"Master Guo is originally a Khitan, and he is full of anger. How can he talk to you about loyalty and feelings?"

"There is no one left in the Southern Dynasty!"

Hou Jing nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"The 140,000 Yellow River defenders all ran away!"

"We took great pains to build a defense line in Hebei and the Yellow River, but it was useless after three changes of direction!"

"What a pity! North China and the Huaihe River region were ruined by the Song Dynasty!"

"Don't panic, our Song Dynasty can destroy three dynasties with one plan based on the Yellow River diversion plan!"

"Three Yi Huihe has been a pit until the present day."

"It would be unjust if such a failed dynasty didn't perish."

……

And outside the sky.

Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned!

At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin believed that the Song Dynasty still had a lot of territory north of the Yellow River.

Even if the Jin people were very powerful, they could only fight north of the Yellow River in one breath.

At least they will struggle for a long time on the issue of crossing the river.

Then, the sky screen showed that the Song Dynasty had indeed deployed a considerable number of troops along the Yellow River.

This made Zhao Kuangyin feel even more.

The battle should be able to continue along the Yellow River for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the Yellow River defense line guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops faced almost no resistance.

Let the Jin people cross the river easily with a few broken boats.

Zhao Kuangyin almost fainted from watching this!
Suddenly, I felt that the demise of the Song Dynasty was not so incredible. (End of this chapter)
