Some people say that fighting is "fighting for money"! Why do people always say that Song Dynasty is so rich, but they always feel bullied?

Although fighting needs money, it doesn't mean that you can win the war with money. The Song Dynasty was repeatedly invaded by Liao, Jin, Song and other foreign nationalities, and there were deeper reasons.

1. Let's talk about money first. Song Dynasty is the richest dynasty in history. It is also this kind of abundance that makes nomadic people like Khitan and Nuzhen eyeing. Liu Yong's "Looking at the Tide". "Win in the Southeast" wrote:

Southeast shape wins, Sanwu city, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoke willow painting bridge, wind curtain and green curtain, interlaced with 100 thousand people. Clouds and trees surround the dike sand, and the raging waves roll frost and snow, and the natural hazards are endless. The city is full of jewels, and every household in Luo Qi is competing for beauty.

Thick lakes overlap and are clear. There are Sanqiu cassia seed and Shili Lotus. Qiang tube clear sky in Wan Li, night, enjoy the lotus. A thousand riders have high teeth. Drunk to listen to the flute and drum, enjoy the haze. The map of the future will be good. I will go back to Fengchi to boast.

This kind of wealth and splendor not only made future generations yearn for it, but also attracted the State of Jin, which was located in the northeast at that time. Therefore, it drove straight ahead and caused the shame of Jingkang. Qin Hui was captured and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking. The Song Dynasty was too rich to be remembered.

2. The important reason for being bullied lies in the policy of restraining martial arts by emphasizing words formulated by Zhao Kuangyin in Song Dynasty. Worried that his generals had too much military power, Zhao Kuangyin actively developed agriculture, industry and commerce and the imperial examination after a glass of wine lifted the military power, but actively suppressed military commanders. In the Tang Dynasty, the system of our time was abolished and centralization was strengthened. Therefore, most of the celebrities we know in the Song Dynasty are you, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Zhu and other literati, and the reputation of military commanders has almost dropped to the lowest point. Finally, a Yue Fei was killed in vain. Soldiers without real power can effectively prevent military commanders from rebelling, but it also weakens the combat effectiveness of the army. The weakness of foreign troops made the Song Dynasty in a weak position in the confrontation with Liao, Jin and Mongolia for a long time, and only by paying pensions every year could it maintain peace for a period of time.

Another important reason is the weakness of the rulers. Song Huizong only loves love affairs, not being prepared for danger in times of peace. In the face of disaster, he abdicated in a hurry and put his son Song Qinzong Zhao Huan on the "throne" of the emperor; In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou made peace blindly for his own throne and even killed Yue Fei. The emperor was afraid of death and did not dare to resist gold with all his might. Naturally, he could not really and effectively resist aggression.

Based on the above reasons, we can know that although money is a good thing, it is not everything. If you want to keep one side safe, only by making great efforts can you be invincible.
