The famous 800,000 imperial soldiers in the Northern Song Dynasty could not fight. Why are their masons first-rate?

Because it can be said that one person is the culprit after all, and that is Gao Qiu. It can be said that Gao Qiu took charge of the Imperial Army for 20 years, and turned the Imperial Army with strong fighting capacity into a bricklayer. It was his own credit, because during his tenure as commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, he developed the Imperial Army into his own bootleg, not only occupying the land of the Imperial Army to build his own villa, but also hiring bricklayers to save money, so he took the Imperial Army as a coolie.

There were 800,000 imperial troops in the Northern Song Dynasty, and people who know the history are very clear. During the period of Song Taizu, these guards were very effective, because the guards selected by Song Taizong were often very strict. It can be said that they were all big, and with the diet and training provided by the court, they made a lot of achievements at that time. Moreover, during Song Renzong's period, the praetorian guard at that time could be said to have reached 1.25 million.

During the reign of Emperor Qin Zong, 800,000 imperial soldiers were all Gao Qiu. Anyone who knows history knows what kind of person Gao Qiu is. It can be said that this is a typical traitor During his 20-year career as an imperial soldier, this was undoubtedly a disaster. He occupied the land of the empire and built his own villa. He also works as a bricklayer for himself. If he doesn't have a skill, he will undoubtedly be fired. It can be said that the guards at that time had a job to stay in the team. Waste? I dropped it.

When the rulers attacked the Song Dynasty for the second time, we all knew that it was a shame in history, and the shame of Jingkang happened. Because the 800,000 imperial guards had no fighting capacity at all, the rulers easily breached Kaifeng, so that two generations of emperors were captured. It's really ironic.
