The Song Dynasty experienced more than 400 uprisings. Why didn't any of them succeed?

During the Song Dynasty, there were so many uprisings, but none of them succeeded in the end. That's because Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, mastered the military power from the very beginning, and because the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, there were basically no serious military commanders everywhere. It is also very important that even after the uprising, people still attach importance to the country and will still choose internal unity in the face of foreign enemies.

In the history of our country, the Song Dynasty was a very strange dynasty, which was very bad in the face of foreign invasion, but it was a good hand in suppressing internal uprisings, and too many uprisings failed. Today, let's analyze the reasons: The first reason is Zhao Kuangyin's contribution. Because his emperor came in disgrace, he was afraid that his people would be like him when he became emperor. So he thought of a clever way, that is, we used a glass of wine to say that we had learned the right to rescue soldiers. This also makes people everywhere have no military strength and no fighting capacity.

The second reason is also indirectly related to Zhao Kuangyin, because since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the emperor's principle has always emphasized that literature is more important than martial arts. At that time, officials all over the country were civil servants, so it was absolutely impossible for them to fight. And those military commanders have no military power, how can the uprising succeed?

There is a third reason, which is also very important. It is a good quality handed down by our ethnic group, and that is unity. At that time, there were many enemies in the Song Dynasty and they were harassed from time to time. Therefore, in the interests of individuals and countries, people will not hesitate to choose the latter to defend their country. Many insurgents will choose to resist foreign invasion under the favor of the imperial court. Just like the Liangshan heroes we are familiar with, they also chose the courtship of the imperial court to resist foreign aggression.
