Chapter 549 The Rise of the Murong Xianbei
In another timeline of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui could not have imagined the rise of so many regimes.
Do they still have a chance to recapture the old capital? If so, then it should be recorded in the annals of history!
What I fear most is that the Northern Expedition will fail, and then there will be people like those in the Southern Song Dynasty who fantasize about settling in a corner of the country!
Therefore, his evaluation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is probably only slightly better than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.
……
Meanwhile, in the Song Dynasty, upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think, "Please, please don't mention the Southern Song Dynasty!"
In terms of how shameful it was, the Eastern Jin Dynasty at least ruined the peace negotiations with their obsequious pleas, unlike us, who are still eager to negotiate!
When Lin Ke's voice rang out again and they heard what she said, they really breathed a sigh of relief!
……
"Speaking of the Xianbei, they also had some connection with the Xiongnu. During the Qin and Han dynasties, they dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu, making them old rivals. Even during the Eastern Han dynasty, the Xiongnu would still occasionally cause trouble."
"However, at that time, the Xiongnu had already split into two parts, north and south. To put it simply, we couldn't afford to mess with the Northern Xiongnu, so we decided to avoid them. So we moved westward to Europe, approached the Danube River, and invaded the Roman Empire."
"The Southern Xiongnu, on the other hand, chose a different path: to live off the Han Dynasty, to be its employees, to migrate to the northern border, to be under the Han Dynasty's supervision, and to help the Han court attack the Northern Xiongnu or other nomadic tribes when necessary."
"Thus, on this vast and boundless grassland, following the Xiongnu, another people rose up—the Xianbei."
"Its origins can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, when the Donghu were defeated by Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu and subsequently split into two groups, retreating to the Wuhuan Mountains and the Xianbei Mountains respectively, thus forming the Wuhuan and Xianbei."
"Both of these regions were under the rule of the Xiongnu, and their customs and habits were quite similar. For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan also took advantage of the chaos in the Han Dynasty to cause trouble, but they were soundly defeated by Cao Cao!"
"Later, during the Cao Wei period, the military strength of the Central Plains dynasties was not yet weak, so the Xianbei people submitted to them. Later, they even joined forces with Sima Yi and others to attack the Yan state of the Gongsun clan."
"Gradually, the Xianbei learned the culture of the Central Plains, and then formed the Murong, Yuwen and Duan tribes."
"However, the Murong Xianbei were not exactly brothers and sisters. They also played the game of usurping power and becoming king. For example, Murong Hui once ran away to avoid trouble because of his uncle."
"At this time, the Western Jin Dynasty had not yet been ravaged by the War of the Eight Princes, and its military strength was still sufficient. After being beaten back, Murong Hui realized that the Southern Xiongnu were the best way to defeat them, so he immediately decided to submit to the Western Jin Dynasty, join their ranks, and then develop his strength in a lowly manner."
Xianbei: That's exactly what the Xiongnu next door did!
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao: ...
Others: Damn it, so the Sima family is actually a noble family to the Xianbei!
"Afterwards, the Central Plains underwent tremendous changes. Compared to the various nomadic tribes that were eager to make a move, the Murong Xianbei tribe insisted on leading the Jin Dynasty. They even took in the Western Jin gentry who came to submit, protecting the territory and ensuring the safety of the people."
"In that chaotic era, all the nomadic tribes developed in the same direction, including the Murong Xianbei. For example, the Murong family rose to prominence and entered a period of development focused on establishing their power and influence."
"Several generations established the Former Yan, Later Yan, Southern Yan, and Western Yan regimes, which are quite famous in history. For example, Li Yuan's mother, Dugu, had Xianbei ancestry."
Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty: I can't think of anyone else, so I'll just use him as an example when we're talking about this! ? ?
