Chapter 85 Chapter 84: Emperor Huiwu Fu Hong

Fu Hong (285-350 AD), whose original surname was Pu, belonged to the Di tribe, and his ancestors were the chiefs of Xirong for generations.Influenced by this kind of environment, Fu Hong has practiced horseback riding and archery since he was a child. He is also very generous to the people around him, donating a lot of property, and has been respected and loved by people.During the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty, the whole country was in chaos. Fu Hong, who had the ambition to become king, saw an opportunity, so he spent a lot of money to win over a group of heroes. Tu and others supported Fu Hong as the leader of the alliance.

Although Fu Hong was the leader of the alliance, Pu Guang and Pu Tu were very powerful and held the highest power.After Liu Yao of the Huns moved their capital to Chang'an and established the former Zhao Dynasty, Fu Hong couldn't bear the persecution of Pu Guang and others, so he had to take refuge in Liu Yao and was named Marquis of Yiyi.After Liu Yao was captured and killed by Hou Zhao Shile, Fu Hong had no choice but to take some of his troops and ran to Longshan. Although the terrain of Longshan was dangerous, it did not give Fu Hong a sense of security.In the first year of Zhao Yanxi (AD 333), Shi Hu was about to attack him. Fu Hong was very self-aware. He expected that he was no match for Shi Hu, so he took the initiative to surrender to Shi Hu obediently with 20,000 households. Shi Hu saw that he had not yet Fu Hong took the initiative to disarm, of course he was very happy, and made Fu Hong the champion general.

Fu Hong was very grateful to Shi Hu. When he arrived in Chang'an, he said to Shi Hu: "It is not a good idea to let the heroes of Guanzhong and Di and Qiang stay in their original residences. They should be moved to Guandong to enrich the eastern region. If you agree, Let me take care of this matter. The people of the Di people are all part of my family, and I greet them, and they dare not disobey!" After hearing this, Shi Hu felt that it made sense, and he sent 100,000 households from Qin, Yong, Di and Qiang Moved to Kanto, appointed Fu Hong as the governor of the refugees, responsible for managing these newly moved residents.

When Shi Zun came to the throne, the general Ran Min said to him: "Fu Hong is a talent. If he continues to guard Guanzhong, I am afraid that the land of Qin and Yong will no longer be the territory of Later Zhao." After more consideration, Fu Hong took off the black hat of the refugee governor. Originally, Fu Hong relied on this black hat to firmly control the 100,000 households that moved to Kanto. Now that Shi Zun took it off, the smart Fu Hong immediately realized that if he did not change his backer, he would not only be unable to develop , Even survival is difficult.Fu Hong made a prompt decision, left Hou Zhao, and took refuge in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty was overjoyed when Fu Hong came to join him, and in the sixth year of Yu Shuihe (350 A.D.), he named Fu Hong the general of Zhengbei, the governor of Jizhou, and the Duke of Guangchuan.

Fu Hong was quite satisfied with these titles at first, but he was not interested in them after a while.Just at this time, someone came out to persuade him to become king, which was exactly what he wanted, so he called himself the Great General, the Great Chanyu, and the King of Sanqin. Fu Hong's status changed, and his tone of voice became louder.One day, he said to Dr. Hu Wen: "I lead 100,000 troops and occupy favorable terrain. I can wipe out Ran Min, Murong Jun, Yao Xiang and his sons without any effort. It is easy for me to seize the world." Hong has great ambitions, but just as he was planning to put his ideals into action, he was unfortunately poisoned by his military adviser Ma Qiu at the banquet.When Fu Hong was dying, he was out of breath and said to his son Fu Jian: "Unfortunately, I have been plotted against by Ma Qiu, and my hope of capturing the Central Plains has also come to naught. You brothers are not capable of capturing the Central Plains, but you have to fight non-stop. Occupy Guanzhong." After speaking, he died at the age of 66, with the posthumous title of "Emperor Huiwu".
