Research On The Military System Of Gaozong Dynasty In The Southern Song Dynasty

The Song Gaozong dynasty was a very special period,which played a leading role in the history of the two Song dynasties.The invasion of the Golden Man directly contributed to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.The military commanders are the protagonists in the troubled times.They and the army they represent are in the limelight of the era of the two Songs.The supreme ruler has to resist the ancestral system’s devolution of power and improve the status of the generals.The open generals will increase the channels,and the generals will be able to exchange broadband and high-ranking officials for the loyalty and effectiveness of the generals.However,special policies cannot last forever.After the external threats disappeared,the return to tradition became inevitable.The sources of the army during the Gaozong period were complex,including the remnants of the ban,the local troops and soldiers recruited,the local army,the attached military commanders and their private army.At this time,the number of troops mastered is still small,but the basic military organization structure has taken shape.The general development of the central military organization is: the Privy Council-the Marshal House system-the martial arts department-the Privy Council,and the military preparations have gone through the Marshal House Army to the Yuying Army,then to the Shenwu Army,and then to the camp guards.In the end,the changes to this step are not only the change of the name,but also the integration of the military.It is a necessary measure for standardization and institutionalization,and complements the Southern Song regime from the founding to the final return.During the Gaozong period,the status of the tactical arms of the Southern Song Dynasty was basically laid.At this stage,the cavalry,infantry,and water forces developed and prospered in frequent wars,and their respective positions and roles in the military gradually became clear.The weakness of Ma Zheng led to the decline of cavalry compared to the Northern Song Dynasty.On the battlefield,it mainly assisted in infantry operations,and did not form a unified and fully equipped cavalry.The infantry is still the absolute main force,but the infantry has been different from the Northern Song Dynasty in the preparation and garrison areas.The special army of the Shuijun from the Northern Song Dynasty,which became the only inferior to the infantry,was completely related to the retreat of the war front,and played a role in the military strategic balance.In terms of strategic thinking,the Gaozong regime has always pursued a consensus-based approach,but this strategy is not static.There have been many changes in the process of confrontation between Song and Jin,but the ultimate goal is peace.In addition,in the military and political affairs,it is to implement checks and balances,weaken the military power of the military,and regain the ancestor’s ancestral law.
