The interval between Song and Ming Dynasties is only a hundred years. Why is the gap between the two dynasties so big? From ancient times to the present, the Song Dynasty has always left us with a weak impression. Under the guidance of China people's thought of worshipping martial arts, Song Jun's fighting capacity can be said to be the weakest in all previous dynasties. A large part of this result lies in the weak armed forces and the lack of military command ability of tattoos in high positions. For example, child officers have mastered military power for more than 20 years, but they know nothing about military command. Under his erroneous guidance, it eventually led to the onlookers of the Jin people and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, compared with the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, which celebrated martial arts in Chinese, left a powerful image of military power.

According to the Ming History, Zhu He, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, made five personal expeditions to Mongolia in order to completely solve the transformation of the northern part of the empire, and surrendered to the Mongolian minority, and never dared to invade the border again. During the five northern expeditions, the world learned about the powerful military power of the Ming Dynasty. In the process of fighting against the powerful Mongolian army, the Ming army also gained certain advantages by virtue of its strong firepower advantage and strict formation.

So why is there such a big difference between Song and Ming?

The author believes that one of the most direct reasons is that although the Ming Dynasty celebrated martial arts in Chinese, there was always a martial spirit between tattoos. I think this martial spirit is not that the Ming Dynasty likes war, but that the Ming Dynasty, from emperors to officials, has a powerful momentum of not fearing foreign enemies. The military command ability of civil servants in Ming Dynasty was much stronger than that of literati in Song Dynasty.

Let's talk about the Song Dynasty first, and then explain the famous players of the Song Dynasty in detail, so we can see this phenomenon. If we are first-name generals, then Yang Ye, Zhao Bin, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, etc. , if not from the rank, are serious military attache behind the door. Look at the Ming dynasty. When New China was founded, Xu zhēng, Shang Yuchun and Aquamarine were all officers. However, after the world was at peace, the Ming Dynasty also embarked on the road of Hanwu, suppressing military attache and attaching importance to tattoo. However, in this case, there were still many outstanding civilian leaders in the Ming Dynasty. Jin Guojun

In the Song Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between civil and military officials in the imperial court. Sun Tzu's Art of War is definitely not required reading for civil servants. Therefore, the civil servants in the Song Dynasty knew nothing about military affairs, let alone participated in the war. The Ming dynasty was different. As we all know, when Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, he took "expelling Tatars and restoring China" as the slogan. This way of seizing the world is quite different from that of Song Taizu Huangpu retainer. The Ming dynasty had a martial spirit from the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China.

Therefore, literati in Ming Dynasty can not only write military books, but also write military books. Although the literati of the Ming Dynasty were born in the past, their hearts were full of blood from the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when the country is in danger, these tattoos will gather together, seize the time, do not discuss how to surrender, take the initiative to volunteer, lead the army to fight for the country and solve the problem. Many of these people are famous players we are familiar with. For example, Yu Qian, an anti-Japanese star like Hu Zongxian, has not lost his strength, which ensures his success. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, there appeared many outstanding tattooed generals such as Hong Chengjiu, Yuan Chonghuan and Sun.

These propagandable tattoos will instill their own experiences and thoughts into their literati disciples and let this spirit be passed down from generation to generation. For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong trained Ma Shilong and Yuan Chonghuan. In addition, for example, Qi Jiguang and Liu Daidai, famous anti-Japanese soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, all came from Hu Zongxian.

After a generation of inheritance, it retained the tough military atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty and eventually penetrated into the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, both the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty pursued the Hanwu policy, but in fact, the degree of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty was much higher than that in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, since ancient times, the world has regarded Kang Ming as weak. Even if the two countries adopted literati sakai, the strength of the Ming Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Song Dynasty.
