Imagine having to move your capital outside the heartlands of China to the humid south. My beautiful Tang dynasty would never let northern China fall to steppe nomads! Please disregard the fact that the founder of the Tang was descended from steppe nomads thank you very much for you attention in this matter
Hey that only ended up killing like half the entire population of China and meant the Tang were under unofficial rule by the Uighurs for a period of a hundred years, ok, the emperor still reigned, True Han Patriots were still in control. Not like the Song who lost to arguably the greatest conqueror known to man ok geez
Song supremacy. Tang is for poseurs.
