Interesting historical story materials of Jin Dynasty

In 280 AD, the water army of Wang Jun, a famous Jin state, attacked Jianye City, and Sun Hao, the general of Soochow, surrendered after almost futile resistance, marking the end of the glorious Three Kingdoms era. The Great Jin Dynasty unified the whole country and was later called "The Three Kingdoms belong to Jin".

Sima Yan, the grandson of Sima Yi, the eldest son of Si Mazhao, and Sima Jia are all capable people. Sima Yi, the grandfather who had dealt with Zhuge Liang for many years, finally dragged this eternal fame to death and seized the state power of Wei, while his father Si Mazhao not only controlled the state power of Wei, but also conquered Shu Han in the south. Liu's surname has been circulating for so many years, and finally it is completely broken. In this generation, he finally replaced Wei and ruled the country.

China has a history of several thousand years, which is divided into two parts, but there are really few monarchs who can unify the whole country. Compared with others, the only thing worth mentioning about Sima Yan is his "benevolence". Sima Yan took Cao Wei, but instead of killing Wei Emperor Cao Huan, he named him Chen Liuwang and allowed him to use the emperor's ceremony, so he didn't have to be a vassal when writing letters. This kind of thing happened in the Jin dynasty, but it turned out to be the Shu and Han dynasties. Perhaps it is because the Sima family was born in the cremation. Sima Yan has a good relationship with the ministers around him, and the ministers speak casually. Even if they speak ill of him, they laugh it off. Look carefully. This was the case in the Jin Dynasty, when the monarch was weak and the minister was strong. Ministers are much more horizontal than emperors.

Sima Yan can't be called a wise king, because he only laid the foundation for this country, but didn't lay a good foundation for this country. As the saying goes, "It's easy to fight a mountain, but difficult to defend it!" And he chose an idiot emperor and a vassal king to take troops abroad, which laid a curse for the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty.

If his emperor's son was not an idiot, the vassal king would not have a chance even if he wanted to make an insurrection. If there was no system for the vassal king to lead troops, the chaos of state affairs would not be like the rebellion of eight kings.

The Eight Kings Rebellion was like a meat grinder. All the strength of the Central Plains was exhausted, and a vacuum was formed in the Central Plains. Nomadic people who had surrendered to the Central Plains entered the Central Plains under various pretexts, and later generations often referred to it as the Five Chaos China.

The Central Plains is in chaos. First the Huns, then Jie and Xianbei swarmed in. First against the rulers, and then internal struggle. What a mess. Si Marui, a distant relative of Sima Yan, went to Jiankang, the capital of Dongwu laid by Sima Yan. With the full support of Wang Dao, they lived the life of a small court.

Perhaps he suddenly became an emperor and can enjoy his retirement. Perhaps the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is too good to leave, and Si Marui doesn't want to go back to the war-torn north.

The south is stable, but the north is miserable. Those who can walk can only be oppressed by the conference semifinals. Even if they are not oppressed, life will be very difficult. Every time people are in pain, their greatest hope is to send down a god, at least a hero, from the horizon to save themselves.

Zu Ti tried. In the Northern Expedition, he fought the post-Zhao with the heroic spirit of Zhong Liujing and recovered the territory south of the Yellow River without selfishness. He was really a great hero, but he went without completing the mission of the Northern Expedition.

So people pinned their hopes on Ran Min, who is known as the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, but this hope was killed by Murong Ke's serial horse.

Then everyone turned their hopes to the south, and a general named Huan Wen caught their attention. But when the general arrived in Chang 'an, everyone realized that the general valued the southern forces more, so he turned around and went back.

Once, Fu Jian, a benevolent man, and Wang Meng, who touched lice, brought hope to everyone, but Wang Meng died young, and Fu Jian, a benevolent man, suddenly seemed to lose his backbone and began to travel south. Unfortunately, people's hearts are still in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and luck is still in the south. The Eastern Jin Dynasty won the battle in Surabaya. Although all the lost land was not recovered, the former Qin Dynasty still fell apart.

Perhaps the Murong family is the hope? This family is handsome and extraordinary. It may not be difficult to unify the whole country with Murong Ke and Mu Rongchui. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. After World War I, the Murong family declined.

No one knows that this kind of pain will last for hundreds of years until a dynasty named Sui is established. During this period, all the people just passed by in a hurry, left a few notes in the history books and left, but some people walked more and some people walked less.

We always worship those who leave too much, even in name only, but at least we can leave endless topics for future generations. Some of them, we call them heroes, such as Zu Ti. Among the heroes, some created an era, and they created history.

Please remember this man who created an era. His name is Emperor Wu of Song.

Second, the hero was born in poverty.

In 363 AD, Emperor Wu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was born in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu). His ancestral home is Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), which is the capital of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty. In those days, it was said that God wanted Xiang Yu, the overlord of the place of western Chu, to be reincarnated. Everyone thought it was Ran Min, but Emperor Wu of Song was ok. Of course, the relationship between Emperor Wu of Song and Xiang Yu is not as close as that of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu's sworn enemy.

Perhaps the relationship between the two Han dynasties is too brilliant. At that time, people always associated Liu with his ancestor Liu Bang. So Liu Xiu, who really restored the Han Dynasty, said that he was a clan of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei, who is divided into three parts of the world, also said that he is a Han clan. Emperor Wu of song, who became the master of the dynasty in the future, also said that he was a clan of the Han Dynasty.

However, his Han room is far away. After Zhong Shan and Wang Jing, Liu Bei can be regarded as a direct descendant of Liu Bang, and the ancestor of Emperor Wu of Song is Liu Bang's younger brother Liu Jiao. Although it is also a Han clan, it is collateral. And this time is not the end of the Han Dynasty, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His Han status will not benefit him at all. His Han identity can only be used as a reference. In fact, Liu Yuan, a Hun, also claimed to be the Han Dynasty and established the Han State. Perhaps because of this, Emperor Wu of Song chose an ambiguous "Song" as his title, instead of rebuilding the Han Dynasty.

That's another story. In 363 AD, our future emperor was just born and was in danger of death at any time.

When an emperor is born, what good omen will everyone give? Compared with the dream of swallowing the red sun, it is a very special thing to descend to the world with dragons and phoenixes. What good omen did Emperor Wu of Song have when he was born? Unfortunately, we don't know if there is such a good omen, because Zhao, the mother of Emperor Wu of Song, died after the birth of Emperor Wu of Song.

Emperor Wu of song's family is not very good. His biological father, Liu Qiao, is just a small official with no oil and water. Burying his wife will cost a lot of money, and raising a baby is not that simple. The ancients didn't have the habit and conditions of breastfeeding with milk powder as in modern times, so they had to breastfeed, so they had to ask a woman with enough milk to be a wet nurse, but it cost money. In ancient novels, when a reader encounters such a situation, he has to take his children everywhere to beg for help and eat hundreds of milks. Liu Qiao estimated that he didn't have the time and face. Besides, he was so angry at the thought of his child's dead wife that he was ready to abandon Emperor Wu of Song.

According to the ancient romance, this Emperor Wu of Song must have been abandoned by a servant of a dignitary and returned. Then this powerful family has no children and can be raised as their own children. When they grow up, they will inherit the family business and make friends with their father in the future. Falling in love with one's sister is comedy, but falling in love with one's sister is tragedy. This is a thunderstorm. According to western history, Liu Yu will be adopted by wolves, eventually become a hero and establish a country called Rome. According to the writing of martial arts novels, which monk would Liu Yu be adopted by, or a master in the mountains, who grew up and learned martial arts, and later found out that his life was confusing and turned out to be a. ...

Stop, the story of Emperor Wu of Song is not so dramatic. At this critical juncture, he was saved by his uncle Liu Wanhe and his aunt Du, who was his wet nurse and lodged in his house. As an aunt and wet nurse, Du is very kind to him, even to him, even his second son Liu has never been fed. It is said that Liu later had some mental problems because he was weaned too early. Emperor Wu of song took good care of Liu's family in the future, and he was so kind to repay this kindness. But if Du Fu sees the achievements of Emperor Wu of Song in the future, it is an exaggeration. The reason why Liu Bei was valued by Liu was that Liu Bei had grown up and showed certain potential. It's incredible. Du can see that the baby's Liu Yuyou is an emperor. Du did this completely out of sympathy.

Emperor Wu of song lived in his aunt's house for two years before going home, and then, in a more popular saying, he thrived. He became a generous, seven-foot-six-inch-long, strong-willed and supercilious man.

However, this strange man has nothing to comment on. At this time, Liu Qiao, the biological father of Emperor Wu of Song, has passed away, and his second wife, Xiao, the stepmother of Emperor Wu of Song, raised Emperor Wu of Song and his two half-brothers. Emperor Wu of song is very filial to his stepmother, but his career is not very good. He sells shoes for a living, much like his predecessor Liu Bei. Strange to say, the Liu family at that time was not without talents. At that time, Liu Bei's personal conditions were much better than Liu Bei's, and the famous officials of the Northern Dynasties were also in the period of Emperor Wu of Song. But Liu Bei and Liu Yu were always born in poverty, but they made great achievements.

But speaking of it, the four most famous emperors of the Liu family, Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, Liu Bei and Liu Yu, had no good habits when they were young. Liu Bang was looked down upon by his father and thought he was idle and idle. When Liu Xiu was young, he liked harboring criminals. Obviously, he was a local tyrant. Although Liu Bei still wants to study, he also likes to form gangs and be a punk. Look at his temper of beating Du You, he is quite angry. In the era of emperor wu of song. Even because he owed money, he was tied up and beaten. If his good friend Wang Mi doesn't help him pay his debts, we can only see an example in the history books. A gambler named Liu Mingyu was killed because he owed money and didn't pay it back to warn the world. Of course, this example will only appear in some notes, not in the biography of the emperor.

It is unknown whether Emperor Wu of Song will get rid of this bad habit in the future. However, seeing that he is going to fight in the future, he is very courageous and courageous, and he often succeeds. I don't know if it came from gambling practice. His generals are much better than his gamblers.

In fact, Emperor Wu of Song not only loves gambling, but also likes to brag. Once in Chikurinji, all the monks said that he had a dragon light. He shot a snake with an arrow, which is a legend of a king. This is similar to the story of his predecessor, Liu Bang, who cut the white snake. It is estimated that Liu Yushu did not read enough books and made up a story that was not round. However, after Liu Yucheng's death, these stories entered the official history with dignity.

Let's look at the whole world again. At this time, in the west, the capital of the Roman Empire has moved to Constantinople, and the Roman Empire will soon be divided into two parts, and Rome will soon be conquered by barbarians. China in the East and the former Qin Empire in the North are as prosperous as the legendary Daqin Empire. Wang Meng, a once-in-a-century wizard, with the assistance of Renhe and barbarian king Fu Jian, unified the North and died. At this time, Fu Jian was at the peak of his career. Most of the original territories of Central Plains, Saibei, Western Regions, Liaodong, Bashu, Han and Jin are in his hands. Only the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south still retains the orthodox name of the Han people, which is really a thorn in his side.

However, this thorn in the side is too difficult to chew. Although the Eastern Jin regime was in a corner of peace, it was still popular and produced several generals. Han people at that time were also good at fighting. Fu Jian couldn't suppress his ambition to dominate the world, and finally ignored dissuasion and led a million-strong army south. However, in World War I, Xie Xuan, a white-faced scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, defeated Fu Jian, and the internal contradictions of the former Qin Empire broke out collectively. In a blink of an eye, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was unable to advance northward, and the talented Xie Xuan died of illness soon.

Let's talk about Liu, who was 265,438 years old at the time of the Battle of Surabaya. There is no record in history that he took part in this great battle which is rare in a hundred years. In fact, he hasn't joined the army at this time. Perhaps the bravery of the northern government army in the battle of Feishui aroused his pride, or perhaps he wanted to stand out and he was ready to join the army.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was no imperial examination system, and the main way to be an official was recommendation, and most powerful official positions were in the hands of aristocratic families. A civilian with no background and a poor family like Emperor Wu is at best a small official like his father. If he is lucky, he may be a local official, but it is impossible to be a big official.

However, the Jin Dynasty inherited the Han system and won many awards for its military achievements. The only way for ordinary people to achieve their careers is to join the army. At that time, there was no habit of "a good man not being a soldier" in later generations. Although most ordinary people make a living by farming, there is no discrimination against joining the army, and the court will not engrave words on soldiers' faces. In particular, the military system of the Jin Dynasty has developed from the official military system to the recruitment system, and the famous northern government soldiers are also composed of refugees recruited from the north.

However, it is easy to join the army, but difficult to achieve great things. The rulers were powerful, and most of them held real power. Like Huan Wen and Xie Xuan, they are all from noble families, so they can hold real power. It is not easy for a ruthless man like Emperor Wu to achieve great things and take power.

However, this is the only way. Emperor Wu of song joined the army, perhaps because of his good conditions. Sun Wuji Sima, the champion general, began his brilliant military career. I hope it helps you.
