The Dilemma between War and War: Military Affairs and Relations with Liao and Xia in the Middle and Late Northern Song Dynasty

About This Novel

Since the surrender of the Renzong Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty government has carried out various military and political reforms with the goal of "strengthening the army" in response to threats from the west and the north. Relevant military policies not only formed long-lasting systems such as martial arts, martial arts, and armor protection, but also changed the foreign policy with "harmony" as the core. Starting from the Shenzong Dynasty, border expansion operations were actively carried out, changing the border defense situation that was previously controlled by the enemy. However, foreign wars consumed a large amount of materials and manpower, but achieved very limited results. This triggered fierce disputes about peace and war within the ruling class and became an unsolvable political problem. Therefore, the military and political reforms committed by the Song government had a far-reaching impact and are an issue that must be paid attention to in understanding the historical development of the second half of the Northern Song Dynasty.
