Scholars reveal the truth! What are the irreparable consequences of Zhao Kuangyin's "disarming soldiers with a glass of wine"?

In middle school, I learned Zhao Kuangyin's "A glass of wine to relieve soldiers", relieved the generals of their military power and strengthened their own strength. So, what irreparable consequences did this "one cup of wine" bring to the Northern Song Dynasty?

First of all, the combat effectiveness is relatively weak. Because the highly effective and experienced military commanders have retired, although they are not old enough to retire, they are needed for the operational command of the army. Without them, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely drop by more than one or two points. The achievements of the Northern Song Dynasty in fighting against the surrounding ethnic minorities can be seen. How vulnerable the army of the Northern Song Dynasty was! Why is this? Because Song Taizu has taken this measure.

The second is the increase in redundant costs. Many generals are military commanders, who have no education and only enjoy themselves. Just build a farmhouse with wives and concubines in groups. When they had no money, they tried to find a way. These people followed Zhao Kuangyin, so they were not killed. This is a very bad precedent. As soon as this example came out, everyone followed suit. It can be seen that good students can't learn well, and bad students don't have to learn! Human nature is evil The old man Xunzi is so right.

The third is institutional constraints. The national policy of the Song Dynasty is to value literature over martial arts. Military commanders need a civilian supervision when they go out to war. Although the goal of returning power to the monarch can be achieved, there is no phenomenon of wearing a yellow robe again. However, with the implementation of this system, many military commanders cannot give full play to their on-the-spot combat ability, because civil servants have no combat experience, but they have the power to play and can only negotiate with him. Many military commanders died of depression!

Is the implementation of this policy a mistake? what do you think?
