I think the Northern Song Dynasty has laid a curse since its establishment. Why do you say that? First of all, Zhao Kuangyin, the founding father of the Northern Song Dynasty, was born into a military family and went to war with the army when he was young. This laid the foundation for his later establishment of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin was deeply loved by his subordinates because he had no shelf and was modest. Other emperors fought to the death for the throne, and Zhao Kuangyin was pushed up by his subordinates. The whole process is relatively simple.

It is because of his character that heroes from all walks of life came to him. It can be said that there was no shortage of heroes in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, and the fighting capacity of the army was also very strong. What is embarrassing, however, is that in the second year of Gande in the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of Zhao Kuangyin, there was an incident of drunken dismissal of military power, coercion and inducement, and demanding that senior generals hand over military power.

The generals not only had to surrender their military power, but even dismissed some troops who could fight. The rest, though easy to control, are mostly ineffective. After Zhao Guangyi reached the summit, in order to prove his own strength and make some achievements, he sent troops to destroy Houshu, but these people in his own hands basically had no fighting capacity. As a result, Song Jun suffered a fiasco.

The Northern Song Dynasty began to weaken from this time. Later, in order to prevent mutiny, Zhao Guangyi stabilized his position and lowered the social status of soldiers again. Even neglected the tactical and strategic construction of the army, which laid a curse for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. 1 127, the nomads from the army surrounded Kaifeng, and there was little resistance in the Song Dynasty, so Song Huizong became a prisoner of Xu Jin.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty is different from other dynasties. Many dynasties perished because of poverty, the people had no food and the army had no fighting capacity. The economy of the Northern Song Dynasty was very prosperous. Kaifeng was the most prosperous city in the world at that time. Today, it is equivalent to new york in the United States, which means that the Northern Song Dynasty was quite powerful in developing economy.

The only drawback is that even if we don't pay attention to the army, the wealth created by such a rich country without a strong army will eventually be taken away by the powers. So the Song Dynasty was the most unjust dynasty. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the national economy prospered, but eventually they lost the world.
