Every time the dynasty changes, there are iconic events, and the occurrence of events is actually the result of the accumulation of time and various factors. There are both accidental factors and inevitable factors.
For example, the famous Chenqiao mutiny . In 960 AD, the incident of Zhao Kuangyin launching a mutiny in Chenqiaoyi replacing Later Zhou and establishing the dynasty of the Song Dynasty is called the Chenqiao mutiny in history.
In the records of the history of the Song Dynasty , the Chenqiao mutiny was a mutiny without premeditation and bloodshed. Zhao Kuangyin was unaware of it before the mutiny and was supported by the soldiers. It's so destined to be king in the dark.
However, is this really true?
The author of the book "The First Year of Jianlong" starts with analyzing a series of events that occurred in the first year of Jianlong to explore the entire process of the Chenqiao mutiny. The author Qi Xinlong has been engaged in the study of Song Dynasty and early Qin culture for many years, and has written the Song Dynasty history series "The Fourth Year of Xuanhe" and "The First Year of Jingde".
The first year of Jianlong was the year of The Song Dynasty , and it was also a critical period for reconstruction. It ended the cohesion and change of many regimes in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and opened the foundation of the Song Dynasty for 319 years.
In the book, the author analyzed a lot based on the incident. Zhao Kuangyin was not so unaware of it. This was a long-planned mutiny of seizing power, and it was very successful. It was almost a bloody battle and the market was not easy to break.
After Zhao Kuangyin put on the yellow robe in Chenqiao, he immediately arranged for the two to return to the palace to appease the officials on the one hand, and arrange for the abdication on the other hand. The abdication ceremony was complicated, but the two arranged it in a very short time and sent a ritual officer to welcome Zhao Kuangyin. As soon as Zhao Kuangyin walked to the base of the hall, the court officials immediately knelt down together and shouted long live together. The troops were sent on the third day of the lunar month, the fourth day of the lunar month, and the latter Zhou became the Song Dynasty. Everything happened too quickly, and countless doubts proved that the Chenqiao mutiny was a long-planned coup.
At the same time, the book also introduces how Zhao Kuangyin made correct decisions when facing internal and external troubles at the beginning of the establishment of Northern Song . Through this book, we can learn about the political and military policies of the Song Dynasty in 960 AD, and see how Zhao Kuangyin made decisions when facing numerous crises. It not only accurately grasps the general trend of the times, but also presents a wonderful sense of historical scenes.
After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he did not repeat the mistake of frequent changes in the regime since the Five Dynasties. Instead, he made the Song Dynasty firmly stand firm for 319 years, becoming one of the long-standing dynasties in ancient China after the Han Dynasty.
This also has a lot to do with Zhao Kuangyin's life experience. Zhao Kuangyin was born in a family of officials and is a typical second-generation official. But he grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and Zhao Kuangyin loved martial arts. He studied various martial arts classics and explored new boxing techniques. He also learned martial arts in Shaolin Temple.
The period of his growth happened to be a period of chaos in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Various regimes were reshuffled in the competition, and various chaos were being staged in the north and south. With this background, Zhao Kuangyin traveled everywhere and began to march from north to south. In the process, he met many people he had never seen before and many things he had never experienced. It was this journey that tempered Zhao Kuangyin's character and allowed him to grow up step by step.
