Historically, the population of Wuhu Chaos has plummeted by 40 million, why can China still create a

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

Since the Sima family controlled the Wei State, devoured the world step by step, and created the Jin Dynasty, the story of this country began to develop in an outrageous direction step by step. All kinds of infighting, all kinds of mediocre emperors, let the entire Jin Dynasty go to the end of corruption and decline. It was also at this moment that the Hu tribes in the north found an opportunity to invade the Central Plains.

They have waited for hundreds of years to create their own power in the Central Plains, to have their own territory, and to get out of the life that can only survive through nomadism. Wuhu Chaohua was born in this context, and in the history books, this is just one document after anotherBut in real history, this is a lament played by 40 million people in China with their own lives.

Because of such large-scale wars, many countries have disappeared forever in the long river of history. A disaster like Wuhu Chaohua is definitely a disaster for Chinese civilizationWhy was it that after this, China was able to maintain its own civilization and usher in a prosperous era again?

How did the Wuhu Rebellion happen?The stage on which it took place came from a 15-year internal struggle in the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Zhen, the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, oneAn emperor who has been labeled as an "imbecile" in history, with the sentence "why not eat minced meat" left its own "famous name" in history.

Such an emperor is obviously unable to suppress the courtiers, and in this context, his wife Jia Nanfeng began her ** career. If Sima Yi knew that his descendants had worked so hard to build the "Angel Wheel" to play like this, he would have to lift the coffin board directlyAnd carry out high-intensity ideological education for this group of descendants of their own.

The emperor is an imbecile, he has no ability and courage, and the queen Jia Nanfeng is a ** mother-in-law, who is extremely distrustful of the courtiers, not to mention her husband's group of brothers and other relatives. If you find that something is wrong, you will kill it directly, and it is cruel to the extreme. This directly led to the dissatisfaction of other characters in the royal family, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was born at this time.

The eight princes and kings, each of whom is an unconscious character, fights with each other, and the national strength of the Jin Dynasty is like a short sale of US stocks, which is declining in an elevator-like manner. At this time, Rong Di and Hu Ren of the grassland laughed, this game is finally my turn to control!

The so-called Wuhu is viewed from the perspective of later generationsThe most accurate statement is the five Hu forces of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qian, Qiang, and Di. The reason why they were able to invade so unscrupulously was not only because of the birth of the Eight Kings Rebellion, but also because it was inextricably linked to the policies of the early Jin Dynasty.

Ancient Wars).When the Jin dynasty was founded, the first emperor, Sima Yan, "issued his own proposals." From ancient times to the present, the nomads in the north have been restless, our Great Jin Dynasty has just been established, we are not afraid of war, but it is best to avoid it. Cao Cao fought with the northern peoples in those years, but he also cooperated and established a very friendly relationship, which is the perfect condition for us to deal with the northern issue!

As long as we inherit it, we will be close to our brothers in the north, we are all our own brothers, communicate more, cooperate more, don't fight, and create a win-win situation, won't this problem be solved?Sima Yan's measures are no problem, but the problem is that after his death, his son, daughter-in-law, brothers and nephews and other relatives do not reassure him at all.

Under the "wise guidance" of Sima Yan, the Hu people completed a large-scale internal migrationAt this time, the Han nationality and the northern ethnic groups had in-depth exchanges, which was also the first ethnic exchange in this article。These Hu people, some of whom were rewarded as **, and had an army composed of Hu people in their hands, it is right to say that they were the troops of the Jin Dynasty, and the author prefers to call them the hired forces organized by the Jin Dynasty.

Army.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, when they found that the backyard of their master's house was on fire, they found that it seemed that their own strength had been able to extinguish their master. Isn't this world your own?There's no reason not to eat the meat that comes to your mouth!

As a result, the Wuhu Rebellion and the internal migration of the Hu people in the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the initial ethnic exchanges were completedAfter obtaining stable conditions for aggression on the military front, it was born!With the birth of the Xiongnu, Liu Yuan, who was named the king of Han Zhao by the Western Jin Dynasty, had a different heart, established the former Zhao regime, and launched the Yongjia Rebellion, and the Han people in the Central Plains ushered in the catastrophe.

Liu Yuan occupied the Guanzhong area and started many slaughter operations, 300,000 people died in Luoyang City alone, and the entire city was a real river of blood, and there was a strong smell of blood everywhere. The wails shook the city at first, and finally fell silent.

The Western Jin Dynasty came to the end with the Former Zhao army capturing the Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Zhen and killing him directly. Of the 60 million Han people, there were only 20 million left in the population after the Wuhu Rebellion, and the population loss reached two-thirds.

Liu Yuan was ready to take over the world, but he forgot that people's desire for power was not only him, but also other Hu leaders. Therefore, the former Zhao ** and other Hu forces began to copy Liu Yuan's actions and establish their own forces in the Central Plains. Like the former Zhao, they entered the Central Plains, burned, killed and looted, slaughtered all kinds of cities, and the Han people died in large numbersThe surviving forcibly displaced, began to migrate

The lineup of the five Hu and sixteen countries appeared. Otherwise, the northern nomads are still tribal, and it can be split into sixteen countries, which is really explosive. As for the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, they also knew that they were going to flee in the warThis point of Sima Yi's inherited genes is still very important, and he will be respected first when he is undecided.

With the migration of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty became the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the founder of the Eastern Jin DynastyIt was Sima Rui who crossed south after the Yongjia Rebellion. On the other hand, the Hu forces in the north have entered a period of separation, which is equivalent to entering a period of war, and everyone hopes to turn the entire north into their own territory.

After a scuffle, the former Qin who was finally the leader of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe and Tuoba Yilu had the last laugh. And this northern first-class competition was established in 352 A.D. before Qin, ended in 376 A.D., and ended in the generation of Tuoba Yilu's grandson. Former Qin also became the first Xianbei country in China to complete the unification of the north, with the northern nomads as the predecessor.

Ancient Wars) Since then, the era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms has ended, and the former Qin has unified the northThe next goal is to unify the South。However, at this time, we must pay attention to a question, that is, there are no Han people in these northern countries

Obviously, no, in these countries, there are many top Han strategists, the more typical is Wang Meng of the former Qin, who assisted Fu Jian to suppress the rebellion, promote the Confucian rule of law, develop the agricultural economy, and help Tuoba Fu govern the country in an orderly manner. Everyone remembers this, although tens of millions of Han Chinese died in this warBut from a practical point of view, it is also a kind of "communication".

From military exchanges, to the reuse of many Han Chinese strategists by the northern nomadsThis is the second important exchange between the Han Chinese and the northern nomads in this article. To get back to the point, if the former Qin wanted to unify the south, it was inevitable to go to war, and Tuoba Fu led 800,000 troops to fight an extremely fierce war with the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south - the Battle of Weishui!

Illustration of the Battle of the Rivers).

I won't talk about the process of the war here, the ending was that the Eastern Jin Dynasty won more with less, and the former Qin was directly dispersed because of this war. After that, the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties began. The south successively experienced the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen regimes established by the Han people.

It was confronted by the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei (Northern Qi), and the Western Wei (Northern Zhou) regimes established by the Xianbei and Xianbei Han Chinese. Attention, it is a confrontation, why a confrontation, and not a decisive fight?Because after so many years of fighting, people are fighting less and less, and the economy is directly advanced by both sides, and everyone needs to "develop".

At this time, what kind of form did they form in the Northern Dynasties, existing in the Central Plains?The Han people in the south, what kind of mentality did they have to face the opponents of the Northern Dynasty and the ancients?This question directly determines the continuation of Chinese civilization!

In the process of confrontation between the two sides, the Northern Wei Dynasty finally experienced the unification of the Yuwen Department, a branch of the Tuoba Division. Tuoba founded the Northern Wei Dynasty in 386, and his descendants completed the purge of the strength of the other Hu people in the north in 439Complete the unification of the North again.

So from the establishment and unification of the north by the former Qin to the reunification of the north by the Northern Wei Dynasty, what political measures were carried out in the process?Do you still remember the top Han strategist Wang Meng mentioned earlier?How did he assist Tuoba Fu?The rebellion in the country should be purged first, and it can no longer be like Liu Yuan back thenA disunited whole quickly falls apart after gaining benefits.

The second is to rectify the domestic law, we have all entered the city, and we can no longer be like a countryman who has no money, there are no rules at all. We are no longer a tribe, but a nation!When the climax came, Wang Meng promoted Confucianism in China and emphasized the rule of law of the northern people.

The people of the northern steppes are fierce and full of martial virtues, but if they continue to fight like this, the loss of young and middle-aged people in China will only get higher and higherConfucianism is a softener, allowing everyone to temporarily put aside their abundant martial virtues and put them on the battlefield to vent. The law is a sieve, a person who doesn't even obey the law, let him go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, can he rest assured?

Just look at Wang Meng's political behavior above, what did you find?This is the means of the Han Chinese regime!Is it an accident that a country established by a northern ethnic group uses Han Chinese strategists and adopts political measures by Han people?No, because the northern peoples were originally founded on the theme of tribesThey are really unfamiliar with the aspect of governing the country.

Do you still remember the communication issue that the author emphasized earlier?The first exchange was between the northern peoples and the royal family of the Jin Dynasty as "mercenaries", and the second was an exchange in the war. The previous exchange gave them an idea of what kind of political system they need to govern a countryAlthough the life span of the Western Jin Dynasty was not long, Sima Yan at least gave the correct answer.

Therefore, these countries established by the northern nomads need to "copy homework", war and politics are connected, the purpose of war is to accomplish political goals, and after the political goals are achieved, they must use political measures to develop the country. All these northern peoples can't play, they need the Han people to help themselves.

But after such political moves, the northern nomads began to "Han Chinese"., the former Qin led by Tuoba Fu, because of "good copying of homework", was able to surpass other countries in the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms in terms of development speed.

Looking at the south again, the large-scale migration of the Han people to the south brought a huge amount of labor to the southHan Chinese culture began to revive after they came to the south.

At this time, there are Han people in the north, Xianbei people, and Han people in the south, and the two sides can't fight because of many years of war, are they still enemies?The future is, but at a certain time, the so-called *** has begun to become very vague

At least from the perspective of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after his ancestors invaded the Central Plains, it seems that the enemies they faced for most of the time were all northerners who had been riding horses together in the northern grasslands. Compared with this southern force, it doesn't seem to be so hatefulWhat's more, there are many Han strategists in his own lineup who are easy to use.

After the ambiguity began to appear, national integration was the end resultAfter fighting, he finally found that the person on the other side was not his most hated enemy. So many dynasties have passed, and the two sides have long been in a mess, and what is competing at this time is culture. Whoever has a high cultural intensity and strong penetration will be able to win the sovereignty of national significance.

At this time, the Han culture showed its thousands of years of heritage, from the Five Hu Chaohua to the emergence of the confrontation between the North and the South, the Han culture from the Western Jin Dynasty was indiscriminately killed to the trough, to the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty began to recover, and then to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period began to develop steadily and penetrateBy the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the "great unification" of culture and ideology was completed.

Those descendants of their ancestors who originally went from the north to the south, they also began to pay no attention to whether they were Xianbei or XiongnuIn the context of ethnic integration, they know that they are Han Chinese!After the establishment of the unified background of culture, the northern and southern dynasties were broken into the Sui Dynasty, and the great unification of the Sui Dynasty was the great unification in the context of national integration.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, this was not an invasion war, but an internal war. The establishment of the Tang Dynasty, what is Li Shimin's origin?He is a Han Chinese with Xianbei ancestry. Xianbei has become a bloodline, and the Han nationality is still the Han nationality, which is a typical case of the great integration of national thoughts

Throughout the whole text, the answer to the reason why Chinese civilization is immortal is very clear. If military action does not achieve absolute extermination, civilization will leave behind the seeds. The culture of the Han people is at a low ebbHowever, the political system of the Han people in the Central Plains has become a rigid need for the northern ethnic groups to establish a state and develop healthily.

The long-term infighting between the northern ethnic groups alleviated the political system of the Central Plains provided by the northern Han strategists of the northern ethnic groups and the Han nationality, and once again alleviated the contact with the political system, and the seeds of civilization remainedThen the culture of civilization has a chance to recover.

The cultural ideology plus the political system of the Central Plains is equivalent to all that of the Han civilization. When the northern enemy came into contact with the Han political system, he was influenced by the Han culture, and was rendered by war, politics, and timeIt is imperceptibly that the great integration of nationalities has been completed.

Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Jian stills).

After the integration of the nations, the Sui Dynasty appeared, disputes arose, civil war began, and the Tang Dynasty was established, ushering in a prosperous era. It is the heritage of the Han culture, which gives the stage of national integration, and the foundation for the establishment of the prosperous era of national integration!

Just like in China today, we come from different ethnic groups, have different histories, and even have different beliefs. Our ancestors may have met each other on the battlefield, or they may have had a deep feud in blood.

But now, as their descendants, we are shocked and proud of the 5,000-year-old history of China, and we will also express togetherWe are the spark of Chinese civilization, and we are Chinese who can never be defeated!
