Chapter 84 Chapter 83: Dai Wang Tuoba Shiyiqian

In the fourth year of Taixing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 321), a serious civil strife broke out in the nomadic Tuoba tribe of Xianbei in Daibei (now Shanxi, northern Hebei and Inner Mongolia), and the chief Tuoba Yulu was killed.The rebellious soldiers wanted to kill the weeds and eradicate the roots. His wife was quick-witted and hid the second son in her arms in her trousers, praying secretly: "If the sky saves you, don't make a sound." Doom survived.This child who survived the catastrophe was the generation king Tuoba Shiyijian who later led the Tuoba tribe from the primitive tribal alliance into the class society.

In just a few years, new changes have taken place in the Tuoba Department.In the fourth year of Xianhe (329 A.D.), Shiyiqian's elder brother Yihuai was recommended as chief.In order to improve the relationship with Hou Zhao, Shi Yiqian was sent to Hou Zhao as a hostage, lived in Xiangguo, and later moved to Yecheng, the new capital of Hou Zhao. Flash is nearly 10 years.In October of the fourth year of Xiankang (338 A.D.), Yihuai was critically ill, and before he died, he left a will: "Shiyiqiang must be established, so that the country can be peaceful." After Yihuai's death, all the officials believed that Shiyiqiang was far away In Yecheng, it may not be possible to come for a while. If you wait for him to come, you are afraid that there will be chaos again, so you should quickly install a new lord.There are still two Yihuai brothers here, in terms of seniority, the third brother Qu should be pushed, but Qu is tough and deceitful, not as good as the fourth brother.So everyone killed Qu Ligu.But Gu resolutely refused to accept it, saying: "My second brother is the elder, and he should succeed to the throne. How can I pass him and succeed?" He went to Yecheng to meet Shi Yiqian in person, and asked him to stay as a hostage on his behalf.Shi Hu, the master of Zhao, was moved by Tuoba Gu's righteous deed, and both brothers returned to Daibei.In November of that year, 19-year-old Shi Yiqian ascended the throne as the acting king, named Jianguo, and distributed half of the territory to his fourth brother Tuobagu as a reward.

Shi Yiqian grew up in the post-Zhao capital in his youth and was influenced by the feudal culture of the Han nationality in the Central Plains for a long time. Therefore, after he came to the throne, he took a series of measures to promote feudalization.He successively hired Yanfeng and Xu Qian, two famous scholars of the Han nationality in Daijun, as his advisers, and set up a hundred officials to take charge of all affairs; he formulated laws and regulations on atonement, rebellion, marriage, private fighting, and protection of public and private property, stipulating that Stealing official property must be repaid five times, and private property must be repaid ten times.While constantly improving the state institutions, Shiyiqian carried out a large-scale foreign plundering war. In the 26th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (363 AD), he conquered Gaoche and captured more than 10,000 people and more than a million horses, cattle and sheep; In the second year, he lost the song department and won millions of cattle, horses and sheep.All the people and animals obtained were used as spoils of war and distributed to the ministers according to their merits. This caused the rapid division of the rich and the poor within the tribe, and a group of nobles with large herds of cattle, horses and sheep appeared, who were richer than the monarch.In the third year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (AD 340), Shi Yiqian established his capital in Shengle Palace in the cloud, and in the second year he built Shengle New City (now northwest of Inner Mongolia and Ringer) as his capital in the south of Bali. The political center of the country, agriculture has gradually developed.

Shi Yiqian's measures conformed to the trend of historical development and promoted the feudalization of the Tuoba Tribe. Therefore, he was deeply supported by the tribe, the interior was relatively stable, and the population rapidly increased to hundreds of thousands, becoming a powerful tribe active in the north and south of the desert power. Just as the Tuoba tribe was rapidly rising in the north, the former Qin of the Di tribe and the former Yan of the Xianbei Murong tribe had become the two powerhouses in the Central Plains.Although Shi Yijian and Qianyan had occasional conflicts, they basically had a relatively harmonious and close relationship.The relationship between Shi Yiqian and the former Qin Dynasty was relatively unfamiliar. However, since the former Qin Dynasty destroyed the former Yan, the Dai Kingdom began to become one of the targets of Fu Jian's annihilation.Fu Jian first sent Niu Tian as an envoy to Daiguo to conduct on-the-spot observations.Reciprocity is a courtesy, and Shi Yiqian also sent Yanfeng to the former Qin Dynasty in Xia Dynasty in the thirty-sixth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (373 A.D.).Fu Jian met Yan Feng in person, because Yan Feng responded to Fu Jian's inquiries neither humble nor overbearing, false and true, so that Fu Jian did not dare to underestimate Dai Guo. When returning home, Fu Jian specially gave many gifts to show his friendship.

After that, Fu Jian captured Hanzhong, Yizhou, Nanzhong and other places from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and destroyed Qianliang.As a result, the only remaining Dai state in the north became the target of annexation again. In October of the thirty-ninth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (AD 376), Fu Jian sent Fu Luo, the governor of Youzhou, to lead 100,000 troops under the pretext of asking for help from the Qin Dynasty when the Weichen tribe of the Xiongnu was attacked by the Dai Dynasty. Generals Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, Guo Qing and others led 200,000 troops to attack Daiguo.In November, Shiyiqian sent an army to resist, but was defeated. At this time, Shiyiqian was sick and unable to conquer in person, so he had to lead his tribes to flee to the north of Yinshan Mountain. Shi Yiqian had no choice but to return to the south of the desert.Fortunately, the Qin soldiers had withdrawn to the south, and Shi Yiqian returned to Yunzhong in December.

The external aggression did not stop, and the internal strife broke out again.Shi Yijian, who was 58 years old, was suffering from a disease, but his heir has not yet been determined.Since the eldest son Tuobashi and his younger brother Han are both dead, and his favorite grandson Tuobagui is only 6 years old. Although the six sons born to Concubine Murong and the eldest son of the concubine are all adults, he does not like any of them. Therefore, The issue of standing storage has been dragging on.Shiyiqian's nephew Tuobajin had been very dissatisfied with losing his original privileges since his father Tuobagu passed away. At this time, he took the opportunity to provoke him and said to Shiyijian's eldest son, Tuobashijun: I want to set up Concubine Murong's son, and I plan to kill you first." At that time, because Qin Bing was still in Junzijin, only 200 miles away from Yunzhong, and could come at any time, so the concubine Murong's sons were on duty every night for guards. Holding a weapon in his hand and wearing a military uniform, he defended the Dai king, but the stupid Lord Shi believed Tuoba Jin's words, thinking that he was going to kill him, so he first killed Concubine Murong and other concubine Murong, and even Shi Yiqian also killed him. The country then perished.Later, the Tuoba clan established the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
