Chapter 19 Those who make soy sauce are also virtuous

The former Qin unified the Yellow River Basin, and the speed was too fast, and many local forces had no time to digest it. In addition, Fu Jian was also a guy with a higher heart than the sky. I thought that you barbarians only know how to kill and kill. A cultural person who inherited Chinese orthodox culture, he decided not to kill a single enemy, but to convince others with virtue, and to achieve a new situation of common prosperity for hundreds of clans. Fu Jian's idea is quite noble, but the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.In 383 A.D., he planned to personally lead troops to crusade against the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the ministers dissuaded him one after another, saying that the Eastern Jin Dynasty had the natural danger of the Yangtze River, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.Fu Jian sneered: "I have an army of one million, and each person throwing a horsewhip is enough to fill up the Yangtze River. What's so scary?!" Of course, a million is an exaggeration, but according to historical records, mobilizing soldiers from all over the country There are also an unprecedented 900,000 horses. If these 900,000 people swarm up, even if the Yangtze River is not filled with horsewhips, piles of corpses can form a pontoon bridge.

But the problem is that the 900,000 troops failed to rush to the front line together. Here, Fu Jian's leading troops have already joined the Jin army, while the rear troops over there have not yet left Chang'an.This kind of war is a complete joke. No matter how many people there are, it will not help. In addition, Wang Meng, who was the first to fight, died long ago. He was trampled to death, and at the edge of the Feishui River, the Jin army with a hundred thousand soldiers beat Fu Jian into a panic and fled. It is a trivial matter to lose a battle, but in this way, the invincible glory that shrouded the head of the "Great Qin King" completely dissipated, so flies, fleas and so on all over the country popped up, and pushed Domino Like dominoes, the former Qin Dynasty collapsed in an instant.If it is inferred from this, the former Qin Dynasty is a bit like a fire virtue. When it encounters Fei "water", the fire will be extinguished immediately-it seems reasonable that Liu Xiu changed Luoyang's name to Luoyang. There may really be a birth control between the dynasty and the dynasty.

In addition, after Fu Jian's disastrous defeat in Feishui, careerists of various ethnic groups rose up one after another, and countless separatist forces emerged in the Central Plains. Yan, Nanyan, Houliang, Beiliang, Nanliang, Xiqin and many other countries. Let’s talk about the Later Qin first. Yao Chang, the lord of the country, was a Qiang. He surrendered shortly before Fu Jian’s enthronement because he was defeated in a war. Therefore, he had hatred for the former Qin Dynasty, but he should not have any personal grudges against Fu Jian himself. .However, Fu Jian was defeated in Feishui on the front foot, and he raised the flag of rebellion on the back foot, calling himself "Wannian King of Qin".In 385 A.D., the Xiyan army broke through Chang'an, Fu Jian fled, and was caught by the Yao family army on the way. Yao Chang immediately showed a grim face and asked for the jade seal.

As mentioned earlier, Fu Jian cursed loudly, and said: "The five Hus are not in your turn according to the order, and I have already sent someone to send the jade seal to the state of Jin. You will never get it!" Yao Chang said: "You have fallen into such a situation, why are you still stubborn? Well, I don't want the jade seal anymore. How about you issue an edict and give me the seat of Zen?" Fu Jian continued to stand firm, and said: "The abdication and the rotation of the state. That's what a sage can do, you traitor, how dare you compare yourself to Yao and Shun in ancient times!" Yao Chang became furious and strangled Fu Jian to death.

In order to cover up his crimes, Yao Chang specially gave Fu Jian a posthumous title, "Heavenly King of Heroes"—for God's sake, he didn't want to be "heroic", but you insisted on forcing him to be "heroic". Soon after, Yao Chang defeated the Xiyan army and invaded Chang'an City, so he officially proclaimed himself emperor.As we have already said, he said to himself that his family is Huo De, so as to inherit the Mu De of the former Qin Dynasty of the Fu family. As for whether the former Qin Dynasty was Mu De, is it really important to Yao Chang? As for the Later Yan and Western Yan, their virtues are not mentioned in the history books, but presumably they all claim to be the successors of the former Yan, so they should continue to play "woody virtue".The other small countries are all passerby A and passerby B, playing the role of soy sauce, what kind of virtue they are, there is no need to mention them.But there is one country that has to be mentioned, and that is Xia Guo.

The founder of the Kingdom of Xia was Helian Bobo, a Hun. He was originally a general of the Later Qin Dynasty, but later he started to fight for independence by himself.Helian Bobo, when he heard this name, he was a barbarian with a big beard (of course, in fact, he was quite handsome, it is said that even Emperor Yao Xing of the Later Qin Dynasty drools when he saw it), and what he did , and not much different from barbarians.It is said that when He Lianbo built Tongwan City, the capital, the city wall was required to be strong. Every time a section of the city wall was repaired, soldiers were sent to stab it with spears. If they could penetrate it, they would kill the construction workers. If they could not penetrate it, they would kill the soldiers who stabbed it. One, darker than the bosses of many construction teams today.Other brutal deeds, including standing on the top of the city to see who dislikes and beheading on the spot, are too numerous to enumerate.All in all, among the tyrants of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Helian Bobo was firmly ranked among the top three.

But what makes people dizzy is that such a barbarian swaggers and claims to be orthodox in the Central Plains.What orthodoxy?Like Liu Yuan, most of the Xiongnu nobles were given the surname Liu by the Han Dynasty. Helian Bobo was originally called Liu Bobo, and the old surname Helian was restored later.However, Liu Yuan has missed the point by pretending to be a clan member of the Han family, so this road will never work again.Helian Bobo has such a big head, and I don't know which idler helped him flip through the book, and finally found a sentence in "Historical Records": "The Huns, their ancestors are descendants of the Xiahou clan." He immediately ran to report.He Lianbo was overjoyed, and immediately declared, yes, Lao Tzu is the true root of the Xia Dynasty after Dayu, so our country name should still be called "Xia".

According to Liu Xin's New Five Virtues Theory, the regime later called "Hu Xia" was the same as the previous Xia Dynasty, which defined virtue as gold virtue, and it also had a place in the cycle of five virtues in Zhengshuo, China. In October of the sixth year of Hu Xiafengxiang (AD 418), He Lianbo defeated the Eastern Jin army led by Liu Yizhen and captured Chang'an City.When he was proud, he engraved a stone ode on the south side of Tongwan City. On the stone tablet, it said: "My emperor Dayu, with the most holy posture... the net leak Yin family, used it to make Jinhui absolutely in the middle of the sky... Yu He Lingzuo... ...Jinjing Nanmai." The general meaning is: Lao Tzu is a descendant of Dayu, Jinde has not been doing well since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, until I, this is considered Jinde's revival.

But how can Kinder be revived?What kind of virtue did he pick up from above?Is it raw or gram?How Helian Bobo deduced it is impossible to test. I guess it may be because he has a lot of connection with Hou Qin——Later Qin belonged to Mude. up.The only problem is that the Later Qin Dynasty was destroyed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty... Forget it, why should I find reasons for him to be orthodox?Anyway, the origin of his Jinde is unknown, and in fact few people admit it. Hu Xiaguo was finished in just twenty-five years, and when its territory was the widest, it only occupied the two provinces of Shaanxi and Ningxia today, plus part of Gansu and Inner Mongolia. In the vast history, it was purely A dozen of soy sauce—even those who make soy sauce are virtuous, how can there be any reason...

Just like that, the Sixteen Kingdoms (in fact, there are more than sixteen, this is just a habitual name) swirled and disappeared. After a long time of turmoil in the Central Plains, they were finally unified by the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Xianbei people, and the north was temporarily stabilized. .The Northern Wei Dynasty was different from those short-lived small kingdoms. It was a big dynasty that had occupied half of China for more than a hundred years. Let’s talk about its virtues later. Let’s go back and talk about the evil things in the south.
