First, comprehensively analyze the essence of the Great Han Dynasty (emphasizing martial arts over literature) and the Great Song Dynasty (emphasizing literature over martial arts) from the aspects of national strength and military affairs. 1. The comprehensive national strength and military strength of the Great Han Dynasty;
Take the most prosperous period? Hanwu, Qin Huang? Take Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as an example. During the period of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, due to the training of previous emperors, the national strength became stronger and stronger. Those who openly commit crimes against me will be punished even if they are far away! ? This slogan is so loud that no matter who dares to offend China, even if it is far away, the big fellow will punish it. I believe many emperors couldn't do this, but Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, did. He fought the Huns back and forth for 44 years and never died.
At the peak of the Han Dynasty, the number of war horses exceeded 600,000. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally led 180000 cavalry to patrol the northern border L. Under the attack of the Han army, the Xiongnu retreated one after another, and the Xiongnu sang painfully? Losing my mountain makes my woman colorless. Losing Qilian Mountain makes me unhappy. ? Visible man's military strength!
2. The comprehensive national strength and military strength of DaSong:
This should start with and? Hanwu, Qin Huang? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also famous? Tang Zong Song Zu? Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin said that Zhao Kuangyin himself was a military commander, but since Chen Qiao mutinied and became emperor, he understood a truth that military commanders could not lead troops, so he began to do it? A glass of wine releases soldiers? The country needs governance, which is why Zhao Kuangyin values literature more than martial arts. What does Zhao Kuangyin advocate? Wen Yijing Guo? It is precisely because the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not attach importance to military affairs that the military strength of the Song Dynasty was greatly weakened compared with that of the previous dynasty. Military strength varies from place to place, some officers are decadent, military training is lax, and combat effectiveness naturally decreases. However, the economy in Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous, and agriculture, printing, paper making, silk weaving and porcelain making all made great progress.
Second, with the development of the times, the comprehensive national strength of Xiongnu and Nuzhen was launched at 1. Xiongnu Empire: According to Sima Qian's historical records, the ancestors of Xiongnu were adherents of Xia Dynasty, who moved northward with grass and livestock in Yin Dynasty. Most of them lived in the Gobi desert and existed in the form of tribes in the early days. By the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns began to wander around the western Han border and plunder the property of the people. Xiongnu army is dominated by cavalry and is good at mobile warfare. At its peak, the Xiongnu army reached more than 300,000.
2. Jurchen nationality: A powerful nation has emerged between the white mountains and the black waters in the northeast? Jurchen, according to Daikin Guozhi, Jurchen? Vulgar and brave, fond of fighting, hungry and thirsty, hard-working, riding a horse over the eaves to save the river without a boat? . They like fighting, are thirsty and can bear hardships. They ride horses up and down the cliff like flying, cross Jiangdu without a boat and ride horses to get there. When the Liao Dynasty ruled Jurchen, there was another saying called? Jurchen is not satisfied with 10 thousand, but invincible? . Jurchen, less than 10 thousand, full of 10 thousand is invincible in the world, which shows its strong combat effectiveness.
According to the introduction of the above two aspects, it is basically clear that the Han Dynasty is stronger than the Song Dynasty, and the Xiongnu is definitely weaker than the Jurchen nationality, which can explain why the Han Dynasty can defeat the Xiongnu for decades and why the Song Dynasty failed to defeat the Jurchen nationality for decades.
