In this way, Wang Anshi's first petition for reform came to nothing!
However, the Song Dynasty's weak situation became more and more serious!
After signing the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom have become brotherly countries!
The Liao Kingdom, after receiving the Song Dynasty coins, stopped going south for decades.
Between the Liao and Song Dynasties, a hundred years of peace entered!
But the Song Dynasty had a new powerful enemy, and that was Xixia in the northwest!
Although Xixia is a small country, it has repeatedly defeated the Song army on the battlefield!
This scene made the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty in front of the Golden List Picture unable to hold their nerves!
Zhao Guangyi's face was ashen!
Even if he lost to Daliao and provided Daliao with annual coins, he could still understand why even the little Xixia could bully the Song Dynasty?
The little Xixia could beat the Song army until they screamed?
Is the Song Dynasty already so weak?
In the end, the Song Dynasty and Xixia reached a peace agreement and were forced to provide Xixia with annual coins.
A total of 150,000 pieces of silk, 70,000 taels of silver, and 30,000 catties of tea!
"The descendants are incompetent and have lost their power and humiliated the country!"
Zhao Guangyi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly stood up and roared incompetently and furiously!
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt cannot!
The Song Dynasty couldn't defeat the Liao army. It can be said that the Liao country was too strong, but it couldn't even defeat the Xixia army. That was really shameful!
The later armies of the Song Dynasty in this picture are much weaker than the current Song army!
"Change! Change must be made!"
At this moment, Zhao Guangyi's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Just now he thought Wang Anshi was blind, but now he has changed and become a strong supporter of the reform!
The Song Dynasty has really reached the point where it can no longer remain unchanged!
Who can defeat such a dynasty and such an army?
Liao and Xixia coveted the Song Dynasty coins and were willing to live in peace with the Song Dynasty, but what if they met a master who wanted their lives but did not want money?
Can the Song Dynasty still maintain the country and the country?
Reform is imperative to strengthen the country!
Since this Wang Anshi is the eighth on the Wang Zuo list, it is expected that his internal affairs ability is not weak!
Reform to become stronger is not just empty talk!
If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t give it a try!
…
At this moment, the images on the gold list are still circulating...
The Song Dynasty has experienced two generations of emperors, but Wang Anshi has still not been reused!
It wasn't until Zhao Xu, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, came to the throne that Wang Anshi was reused!
At that time, the Song Dynasty was already seriously ill!
Internally, the treasury is empty!
Externally, the army is weak!
Zhao Xu, as a young and promising king, did not want to see the Song Dynasty decline. Even the little Xixia could ride on the head of the Song Dynasty and dominate!
He wants to restore the glory of Taizu!
And Wang Anshi, who has the strategy to reform and strengthen himself, is undoubtedly regarded as the savior!
He appointed Wang Anshi as prime minister and began to implement reforms in the Song Dynasty!
Wang Anshi, this thousand-mile horse, finally waited for his Bole!
Immediately the formal implementation of the reform began!
According to Wang Anshi's idea, the world's wealth should be generated by the benefits of the world, and the people will not add taxes but the country will have enough!
Implement the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army!
…
“How can we make the country rich without raising taxes?”
At this moment, the heads of the major dynasties in China were all staring carefully at the scene of Wang Anshi's reform on the Tiandao Golden List, frowning.
Make bricks without straw!
In order to increase the revenue of the treasury, taxes have always been allocated!
It will inevitably increase the burden on the people!
They all wanted to see how Wang Anshi could enrich the country and strengthen the army without raising taxes!
As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, and this is impossible to do!
However, what they never expected was that Wang Anshi did it!
He quickly increased the treasury revenue with a series of new laws!
The country enjoys unprecedented prosperity!
One year's income from the treasury can provide enough money for the Song Dynasty
Externally, Wang Anshi presided over Xining's border expansion and achieved an unprecedented victory in the northwest. He captured the Hehuang land for the Song Dynasty and expanded the territory for more than 2,000 miles!
Completed the siege of Xixia!
In this way, Wang Anshi fulfilled his promise to Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, making the Song Dynasty rich and powerful in a short period of time!
Incredible!
"Is the reform so powerful?"
This scene shocked the heads of the major dynasties who were originally skeptical!
Simply outrageous!
The Song Dynasty, which was so weak, actually became stronger visibly after the reform!
"It seems that before this, Wu Qi also carried out a reform in Chu State, which greatly increased the national power of Chu State and dominated the princes!"
Some people thought of Wu Qi, who was on the list before. Although Wu Qi was listed on the list of military gods and trained 50,000 invincible Wei soldiers at the same time, Wu Qi's reforms also impressed everyone!
Chu State was originally a backward barbarian controlled by nobles, but after Wu Qi's reform, it became the overlord of the south!
The army shocked the world and subdued the princes!
Today, Wang Anshi's reforms are undoubtedly similar to Wu Qi's reforms!
The Song Dynasty, which had always been weak and passively defensive, started to actively expand its territory!
Is this still the Song Dynasty they are familiar with?
…
"Hahaha, change the method and become better!"
"I didn't expect that in the later generations of the Song Dynasty, there would be talents like Wang Anshi!"
Zhao Guangyi's mouth burst into laughter when he saw that the Song Dynasty's physical eyes became stronger and actually captured the land of Hehuang and opened up more than 2,000 miles of territory!
He thought that after Kou Zhun's death, the Song Dynasty would fall into decline!
In this way, he kept giving annual coins to Liao and Xixia, and lived in humiliation!
Unexpectedly, Wang Anshi was born out of nowhere!
Let the Song Dynasty regain its glory again!
However, the officials of the Song Dynasty in the court could not help but look at Zhao Guangyi with contempt.
Just now you said that Wang Anshi is a madman and that the laws of the ancestors are immutable!
This face changes too quickly!
"Just now, I was too blind to see Mount Tai. I didn't see Wang Anshi's great talent. It was my blindness!"
Zhao Guangyi readily admitted his mistake. The Song Dynasty could rise and he was in a good mood now!
Da Song, get better!
No matter what new or old laws are, as long as they can enrich the country and strengthen the army, then it is a good law!
However, just when Zhao Guangyi and the officials of the Song Dynasty were feeling complacent, Wang Anshi's reform encountered a major setback!
During the reform process, due to improper employment, traitors took advantage of the loopholes and disturbed the people!
On the other hand, the reform offended the interests of many vested interests!
They fiercely opposed Wang Anshi's new law!
The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Gao also cried to Shenzong that "Wang Anshi was causing chaos in the world"!
As the opposition grew louder, Emperor Zhao Xu began to waver in the new law, and a crisis of confidence began to appear in Wang Anshi!
Wang Anshi was deposed from his position!
The reform encountered a major setback!
This made Zhao Guangyi, who was smiling just now, instantly freeze his smile!
