Why did Song Taizu's "relieving the military power with a glass of wine" succeed, and why did the generals hand over the military power?

A glass of wine releases soldiers? It is the harmony between monarch and minister handed down from later generations, which realized the smooth handover of military power in peace, unlike other dynasties. But? A glass of wine releases soldiers? It may be exaggerated in itself. North Korea has indeed recovered all its military power, but this is a gradual process, not to say that it can be settled after a drink. So the first question, Song Taizu? A glass of wine releases soldiers? Why can it succeed? The problem itself is flawed. It should be Song Taizong's successful recovery of the relieving power, but it is definitely not something that can be solved just by eating a meal and drinking wine and talking about feelings.

Why did the generals hand over military power? This is about the art of Zhao Kuangyin, who can seize the world of the Zhou Dynasty without bloodshed, or get back the relieving without bloodshed. This kind of leadership art is definitely worth learning from later kings. If you don't bleed, don't leave yourself a reputation for killing heroes with blood. After all, it's not nice.

Zhao Kuangyin's seizure of the military commander's military power came step by step, not at once. So sure, people are panicked.

Step one: solve it first? Inspection in front of the temple? This position.

The guards of the six armies in the late Tang Dynasty, the guards in the late Jin Dynasty and the patrols in front of the temple in the late Zhou Dynasty all held the highest military organization of the Central Army. Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan and Guo Wei all established political power from these positions.

By the same token, Zhao Kuangyin can seize the military power of the Zhou Dynasty by raiding all the temples in the Zhou Dynasty, and inherit Chai Zongxun's abdication without bloodshed. So what must be solved for Zhao Kuangyin's superior position? Inspection in front of the temple? This position. Take control of this position yourself.

At that time, Mr. Murong Zhaoyan was a doorman and had a good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. When Zhao Kuangyin was a doorman, his deputies were Murong Zhaoyan and Zhao Kuangyin? Brother Chang, what happened to Zhao Yan? , a bit like the Three Kingdoms Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so when Zhou came, Mr. Murong was most likely to be stopped. After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, although Murong Zhaoyan was promoted to be the chief inspector in front of the temple, it was the Khitan and Northern Han who were really defended by the garrison troops. In the spring of the second year of Stegosaurus, Mr. Murong Zhao Yan returned to Kaifeng to report on his work, and took the opportunity to change him to our ambassador in Shannan East Road, but he was relieved of the post of inspector in front of the temple. After that, the Song Dynasty did not have the duty of inspection before the temple, and the emperor personally mastered the imperial power.

Step 2: Both the guards and the pro-army are in command.

In addition to Mr. Murong, Zhao Kuangyin also relieved another person of his military power: the guards and pro-troops both commanded Han. Is this the same as Murong Zhaoyan and Zhao Kuangyin? Love is so close? The military generals in the latter Zhou Dynasty were staunch supporters of Zhao Kuangyin. And he is the commander-in-chief of the guards' pro-army, and he is the most powerful Wu Zhi besides the patrol in front of the temple. Zhao Kuangyin awarded these two positions to Mr. Murong and Han, whom he trusted, which not only won the trust, but also laid the groundwork for later seizing their military power.

Although both Mr. Murong and Han held the imperial power, they were far away from the imperial court, which was specially arranged in the border town to guard against the north and quell the rebellion. Therefore, in fact, most of the imperial troops are still in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin himself, who went to Beijing to report on their work. They only brought a small amount of Qin Bing. When they seized their imperial military power in Zhao Kuangyin and changed it to local time, they had no choice but to promise.

Step 3: Remove? Yishe ten brothers? military strength

Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, Gao Huaide, the deputy governor in front of the temple, and Zhang Lingduo, the bodyguard and pro-army, were waiting by. Are these people stories? A glass of wine releases soldiers? Supporting role, the protagonist is Zhao Kuangyin. But this story is a bit exaggerated, but it may really happen that brothers drink and tell the truth after drinking. These military commanders gradually understood, considered the advantages and disadvantages, and finally handed over military power. This requires a process. So what? A glass of wine releases soldiers? There are exaggerated elements, but it may be similar to eating, drinking and drinking.

With carrots and sticks, they drove them all out of Beijing, while forming in-laws with them and giving them to Tian Ci's land. Shi Shouxin was our army, his son Shi Baoji was our time, Zhao Kuangyin's second daughter, Princess Yan Qing, Wang Shenqi was our time, his son Wang was our time, our eldest daughter, Princess Zhaoqing was our time, Gao Huaide was our German army's sister, and Zhang Lingduo was our town. In this way, all the imperial troops will be in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.

Step by step, slowly, and it is a combination of kindness and prestige. Let these generals, true or false, finally hand over the military power. Why didn't they resist? It depends, although the five generations of military commanders usurped the throne. The premise is that the emperor has no relieving power, and now Zhao Kuangyin has an ace army.

Whether it is the power comparison between the imperial army and the local buffer regions, or the control right of the imperial army, Zhao Kuangyin is always in an obvious dominant position. Zhao Kuangyin has extraordinary talent, extremely rich experience in leading troops, and has absolute prestige among middle and lower officers. At this time, the forces of the buffer region have been unable to fight against the imperial army. Zhao Kuangyin wants to adjust your position. Are you obedient? Or gamble all your wealth and turn your back on the table? Both Shi Shouxin and Han know this account.

Zhao Kuangyin's deprivation of these people's rights is a step-by-step way. Without fighting with them, the optimization and improvement of the system are also promoted simultaneously. As shown in the above analysis, the adjusted generals were actually replaced in batches, and none of them were pushed to the end. They still hold important positions in other positions, and some of them were re-used in the later period. In short, you've been thinking. But when I was in charge of soldiers again, I found that the original rules had all changed. Money and food are not counted, and personnel appointment and dismissal are not counted. I don't know any of these soldiers. Hey, are they overhead? )

Summary:

However, Zhao Kuangyin also overcorrected. Because I am worried about the chaos of military commanders, I am constantly guarding against military commanders and paying attention to literature and neglecting martial arts. Although the Five Dynasties Rebellion ended, it also led to the result that soldiers didn't know who they would be, and the local combat effectiveness was seriously weakened. In the Song Dynasty, the foreign invasion of Liao, Jin and Xixia was the most serious. There were a large number of troops in the Song Dynasty, but they could not effectively resist the border invasion.
