The former Qin Fujian was an emperor in history on a par with Kangxi and Li Shimin. This shows the affirmation of his merits by later generations. But heroes often have regrets, and Fu Jian is no exception.
The defeat of a war buried the entire empire, and later generations also sighed at Fu Jian's experience, especially watching a dynasty fall after the defeat is a pity for future generations, let us look back at Fu Jian's brilliant and brilliant life!
It is often said that heroes are born in troubled times, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can be said to be a famous troubled era in Chinese history. But unlike other heroes, most of the others only began to make great achievements after they became adults, but Fu Jian became famous at a young age.
At a young age, he had already shown extraordinary qualifications, and it was precisely because of his intelligence that he had great prestige in the court. I believe that everyone knows very well about that period of history"Five nonsense".For Nakahara, it is an event that will never be forgotten.
But if you talk about the Di tribe to which Fu Jian belongs, the reason why it was able to rise at that time was actually an accident. It all started with Fu Jian's great-grandfather, who was himself the patriarch of a small tribe. And they don't have much ambition, but the current situation doesn't give them a choice.
While they were living their lives, the Central Plains fought. In the beginning, Fu Jian's great-grandfather didn't want to meddle in the mess at all. But after all, there are few Di people, and if they fight, they will suffer.
But no one gave them a chance to say no. The war has already reached the doorstep, and in desperation, Fu Jian's great-grandfather can only lead the Di people to raise troops.
Fu Jian's grandfather was valiant on the battlefield and took over the entire Di tribe at the age of twelve, making immortal contributions to the establishment of power and pacification of the Di tribe. It can be said that Fu Jian's grandfather Fu Hong is also a monarch with great achievements, and it may be that Fu Jian inherited his grandfather's bravery.
However, it is a pity that Fu Hong died early, and then passed the throne to his son Fu Jian, who is Fu Jian's uncle. Fu Jian's father was also named prime minister after his brother became emperor. Although Fu Jian's father did not get the throne, this did not affect Fu Jian, and he was very fond of his grandson when Fu Hong was alive.
It can be said that Fu Hong's favorite grandson, and Fu Jian was very studious when he was young. As we all know, the Di people have always lived in farming, but Fu Jian rarely wanted to learn, and Fu Hong immediately found a teacher for his grandson to teach him.
Fu Jian's uncle was also a very capable emperor, but his son did not inherit it at all. After Fu Jian's death, he was succeeded by his son Fu Sheng. But Fu Sheng is not a wise man, he is uncertain, but whatever makes him unhappy will be killed by him immediately. At that time, the ministers of the entire former Qin were frightened, and they were afraid that they would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
It can be said that under the rule of such a monarch is a disaster for a whole country. It was under this circumstance that Fu Jian staged a coup d'état and ascended the throne as emperor.
It can be said that large-scale reforms began after Fu Jian ascended the throne. The situation in the former Qin was very bad at that time, the people were miserable, and the politics were corrupt, and Fu Jian had a strong sense of social responsibility since he was a child, and he had begun to worry about this scene when he was not an emperor, and said in his heart that it must change in the future.
Of course, it is difficult for him himself to achieve even if he wants toIt was at this time that he met a fierce general, and it was with his help that the situation of the entire former Qin was turned upside down. This person is Wang MengIt is worth mentioning that Wang Meng is not from the Di nationality, but from the Han people.
He was able to get Fu Jian's reuse, and it was enough to see that Fu Jian did not have a great rejection of ethnic differences. Not only that, Fu Jian has spent his whole life striving to promote ethnic integration.
Wang Meng accompanied him for half his life and gave him great help along the way, but unfortunately Wang Meng did not accompany him to the last road.
With Fu Jian's policy and Wang Meng's thunderous methods, the national strength of the former Qin soon reached an unprecedented height. As we all know, at this time, it is also a sign that the country can start its war of foreign expansion.
After that, Fu Jian can be said to be overwhelmed, recovering all the small countries around him, and pacifying northern China in one fell swoop. But for an ambitious emperor like Fu Jian, this did not achieve his desired goal. After that, he set his sights on the countries of the Western Regions.
At that time, the combat effectiveness of the former Qin had reached an unprecedented height, and it can be said that looking at the entire Central Plains, there were few countries that could compete with him.
With his southern expeditions and northern wars, Fu Jian's territory at this time can be said to have reached the territory of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, when he ascended the throne. As later generations said, there is no doubt that Fu Jian is the most promising of the entire Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to unify China. And he is only a few steps away from reunification.
But it was these steps that he never finished in his life, and he also lost his life. In fact, at the very beginning, Fu Jian had already moved his heart to go south to seek the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but Wang Meng firmly denied it. Fu Jian was still able to listen to Wang Meng's words, and said that if he didn't let him go, he really didn't go, but in fact, Fu Jian's heart never dispelled this idea.
Wang Meng died soon after, and it can be said that after Wang Meng's death, no one in the entire dynasty could stop Fu Jian. Although the former Qin at that time seemed to be very harmonious, in fact, there were still many internal contradictions. But Fu Jian was in a hurry, he did not deal with the problems within the current dynasty at the first time, but chose to go south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the end, it was defeated in Huishui, and it can be said that the army was defeated, and the former Qin no longer had the strength to turn over. It was a pity that a dynasty was destroyed in just one battle, and even today it seems to be a pity.
Speaking of Fu Jian's defeat in the Battle of Weishui, there are probably three reasonsOne is that the timing is wrong. After many years of conquest, the former Qin should recuperate for a while before attacking the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
However, Fu Jian went to attack the Western Regions just after attacking the north, and went south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty as soon as he returned from the Western Regions.
The second reason is the tactical mistake, but the most important reason is the third reason, internal ***As we all know, Fu Jian's army at that time was composed of many ethnic groups. At that time, when Fu Jian was about to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, some of the old ministers of the former Qin Dynasty in the court did not approve of itIn favor are some other ministers of the nation with bad intentions.
In their hearts, they desperately hoped that Fu Jian would be defeated when he attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so that they could benefit from the fish. Therefore, there are not many soldiers who can really work for Fu Jian on the battlefield.
Most of the rest have different ideas in their hearts. On the other hand, although the number of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was small, they were very united, because they knew that as long as they failed, there was only one way to meet themDead country
What's more, during the battle, they secretly told the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the other ethnic groups did not want to do their best. On the contrary, he wanted to retain his strength and wait for the opportunity for Huang Que to follow, under such conditions, Fu Jian's defeat was inevitable.
Most of the later generations said the most about Fu Jian's defeat was that he should not forgive those small countries back then, but should have exterminated them, so that there would be no future incidents.
But it is precisely because of his forgiveness that he can see the image of a "benevolent monarch" in Fu Jian, which makes him still praised by future generations after a thousand years.
