The Siege of Bianjing: Diplomacy, War, and People at the End of the Northern Song

The last years of the Northern Song Dynasty are the most frustrating, irritating, and angry periods to watch. It is a period that people cannot bear to read carefully. Compared with it, the late Qing Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty are all younger. It is really difficult to escape from the situation, not put yourself into the perspective of the Song Dynasty people, and completely regard yourself as a bystander. But if you step out of it, or even enter the perspective of a Jin man, you will find that the entire book is full of strategies, experiences, and lessons. It is another story of the Three Kingdoms, another miniature version of the Qin Empire, with military and diplomacy, and a company fighting against someone.

Bianjing in the late Northern Song Dynasty was equivalent to the current city of Tianjin. This book restores the main historical background and several important events of that era through extensive historical research on diplomacy, wars and characters in the late Northern Song Dynasty. At the same time, the book describes in detail the Jin State's siege of Bianjing, as well as the diplomatic mediation, military strategies and resistance actions of the Northern Song Dynasty government and generals. The content in the book covers the political, economic and cultural changes in society at that time, allowing readers to better understand the historical context and people's living conditions of that period.

When I watched the first half, I was very depressed. I just felt that the monarchs and ministers in the late Northern Song Dynasty were all a bunch of naocan, and they would not know how to fight if they lived in peace for too long. When I saw it later, I felt it was a bit tragic. The people didn't care who was in power, as long as there was peace. Originally, it was a very humiliating and painful thing for the person involved to have all the powerful family members taken away as prisoners (I don't know what the person involved thinks, but in my opinion it is a relatively painful thing). It was spread by word of mouth or in scripts among the people. Although they did not know whether it was true or not, it was just spread like this. It shows that they really don't care who is in power. In times of peace, it may not matter, most of them are flattering words, but when war comes, it is different, and they are basically filled with complaints. Those monarchs and ministers were indeed incompetent and even weak, which led to the destruction of the country and the suffering of the people. But when I see this kind of attitude among the people, I feel very sad. In modern terms, it is like being in a company. The leader's wrong decision led to the bankruptcy of the entire company. In the end, the leader and everyone was punished accordingly. However, not long after, the leader was subjected to online violence from everyone, and various jokes were circulated on the Internet. But people forget that this company still has a subsidiary that continues to operate normally. Due to the online jokes flying all over the world, this company has changed the company's rules and regulations. The employee manual that was originally relatively relaxed has become more demanding. What do you think of this? So when I see the public attitude behind it, I feel sad. When I finally read the postscript of the entire article, four words came to my mind: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace."

The disgrace of Jingkang has not yet begun; Bianhe River, as the economic lifeline of the Song Dynasty, witnessed the magical ten years of the dynasty's final collapse. The reason why it is magical is that the scenes of pavilions, pavilions, singing and dancing are still vivid in our eyes. The Jurchen regime actually killed an insignificant ethnic minority. The mind of the head of state allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to go from prosperity to destruction in three years; this book contrasts the hidden dangers behind the prosperity, the party struggles between royal families; and the aging and rise of potential opponents - the northern nomadic areas; it vividly restores the diplomacy and wars in the late Northern Song Dynasty, as well as the map of all living beings. The chapters are well arranged and detailed, and the details of the war are described in detail. The author gives a truthful description and a to-the-point commentary on the history of the Northern Song Dynasty and the fate of the Zhao royal family.

This book gave me a deeper understanding of the history of the late Northern Song Dynasty. The author's narrative style is easy to understand, just like listening to a story. The Qingzhixiu mentioned in the book reminded me of the psychic jade in "A Dream of Red Mansions". They are all precious and unique stones. At the same time, I also feel that human power is insignificant in the face of nature. Just like we will encounter various difficulties in life, but as long as we work hard, we can always find a solution to the problem. This book is not only a record of history, but also can bring us a lot of enlightenment.

Many things in ancient and modern times have been discussed with laughter. The tragedy in the late Northern Song Dynasty will always serve as a warning to subsequent rulers!

Aguda's first battle at Chuhedian (Zhaoyuan) should have taken place across the Second Songhua River or Huntong River as it was called at that time, not Heilongjiang.
