There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 5185 Xianbei is divided into two branches: north and south
Chapter 5185 Xianbei is divided into two branches: north and south
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, but these three ethnic groups have successively established their own countries and political powers. In my opinion, they are all partners who can cooperate, and the Qiang and Xianbei ethnic groups seem to be more powerful.
Some, why did your grandfather finally choose the Di tribe, which seems to be the weakest, just because of Fu Jian?"
Wang Zhene shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about the Di tribe for now, let's just talk about the other two tribes. For the Xianbei tribe, it seems that they are the most powerful and the strongest, but in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xianbei was divided into north and south.
branch, the northern branch, the Tuoba clan, dominated Mobei and established the Dai Kingdom, and later gradually extended their power to Monan. However, in the early Jin Dynasty, they were the most loyal forces to the Jin state, from the Huns, Han and Zhao to Jiehu.
The Shi clan and the Zhao clan were all defeated many times by the Tuoba clan cavalry who allied with Liu Kun, which slowed down the pace of unifying the north. It can even be said that, to a certain extent, they saved the Jin Dynasty."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Yes, the Tuoba family in the early years was indeed loyal to the Jin Dynasty. This is also the reason why Tuoba Si and I became brothers. I once thought that he would be unconditionally loyal to the Jin Dynasty like his ancestors, even at the expense of
I was willing to pay the price of tribal division for this, but I was wrong. He Tuoba Si is not Tuoba Yilu, and he is not so loyal to the Jin Dynasty. In other words, because of his ancestors' affairs, he no longer considers offending his tribe for the sake of the Jin Dynasty.
"
Wang Zhene said sternly: "There's no need to guess what others think. In this world, even your own parents don't have to do anything for others without any reason. The Tuoba family didn't have much contact with Da Jin in the past. It's purely
It was Tuoba Yilu who personally admired Liu Kun and became a brother with him. He mobilized the Tuoba tribe to rescue this brother, which also aroused dissatisfaction within the Tuoba tribe. After several rescues, no benefits were obtained, but
This resulted in the loss of many tribesmen, and even affected the relationship between Tuoba Yilu and his son Tuoba Liuxiu. In the end, it triggered civil strife, Liuxiu killed his father, the tribe was separated, and the Tuoba tribe almost perished because of this. These are all lessons.
.”
Liu Yu frowned: "But the Tuoba tribe is a tribe outside the Great Wall that belongs to the Jin Dynasty after all. When the Jin Dynasty is in trouble, they should come to the rescue. Liu Kun did not treat them badly and gave them the maximum within the scope of his responsibilities.
They took care of them, asked for officials, asked for titles, and even ceded the territory of the Jin Dynasty outside the Great Wall to them. It was just that the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba tribe were unwilling to fight in the Central Plains for a long time, let alone send troops to regain Luoyang and open up the relationship with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the end, the tribe's people were dissatisfied with their connections, which was also the reason why Tuoba Yilu didn't give them enough benefits."
Wang Zhen'e said calmly: "The so-called sufficient benefits are to plunder a large number of Jin people, especially women and children, to be used as slaves to give birth to children for the warrior families of the Tuoba tribe. This is what Brother Jinu wants."
Unacceptable.”
Liu Yu sighed: "Yes, I can't accept it. It's okay to give money and food, but I can never agree to make the people of Jin Dynasty who have suffered from war and are waiting to be rescued as slaves.
If this is the condition for them to send troops, I would rather they not come, and I can let them defend the city in the rear, and let the Jin army attack and take the country for themselves."
Wang Zhen smiled evilly and said: "Brother Jinu, you know best about military issues. If the Jin army can defeat the Wuhu army, which is mainly cavalry and comes and goes like the wind, will the result be the same as before? A hundred years ago.
Come down, you are the only one who has figured out the art of chariot formation. You can defeat a large-scale Hu Cavalry legion head-on. No one else can do it. Even if the Tuoba tribe sent cavalry to help, it is not a big deal to fight against various Hu Cavalry troops.
The advantage, at most, is that they gained a little advantage in the field, but they were unable to annihilate the enemy. Shi Zhao's cavalry would retreat back to the big city after losing. Liu Kun and Tuoba's troops faced the strong city.
There was nothing we could do. Victory in the field battles could not translate into big strategic returns. In the end, the Tuoba tribe had nothing to plunder and no population to replenish. The war became a loss-making business. Naturally, they did not want to go. This was the reason for the internal strife in the Tuoba tribe.
The root cause, to be honest, Tuoba Yilu has already done everything."
Liu Yu sighed: "It is still because Liu Kun is not good at fighting. There has never been an army as strong as the Beifu Army. If Zu Ti had been replaced, I am afraid the situation would be different. Every time I read history to this point, I wish I had been born a hundred years earlier.
, can become a pawn under Liu Kun."
Wang Zhene said calmly: "Okay, let's not go too far. Let's get back to the topic. The Tuoba tribe is a typical Xianbei Hulu and grassland cavalry. They are not even Chineseized to a high degree, and they don't like the Central Plains very much.
In this way, Emperor Tuoba Yulu even had to succumb to the pressure of various ministers and sentenced to death the prince Tuoba Desert Khan who had been a hostage in the Central Plains for a long time. This actually shows that the Tuoba tribe did not like the Han people very much.
, and don’t want to accept the Central Plains, so such tribes can find ways to become allies, but don’t expect them to take over the Central Plains and educate them into Han people.”
Liu Yu frowned: "But now the Northern Wei Dynasty has taken over the Central Plains, and has begun to use the Central Plains system, which shows that they are not necessarily unchangeable."
Wang Zhene waved his hand: "This is now, because Tuoba Si himself has been a hostage in the Central Plains for several years. He is not as resistant to everything in the Central Plains, especially the customs of the Han family, as the grassland Khans like Tuoba Yulu were.
, but even so, when the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the Central Plains, they wanted to conquer it, rather than fully accepting the system of the Central Plains and being assimilated by the Han people in the Central Plains.
In the midst of division and civil strife, and because his tribal customs did not want to fully accept the Han system, he did not consider serving the Dai State outside the Great Wall."
Liu Yu nodded: "Perhaps the Tuoba tribe, as the northern branch of Xianbei, is not suitable for cooperation, but the Murong tribe of the southern branch of Xianbei unified Liaodong and western Liaoning at that time and was very powerful. Many Han nobles also went to Liaodong in the late Jin Dynasty to defect to Liaodong.
Murong's tribe created many systems for them to found the country. The Yan State used these systems to transform itself from a nomadic tribe outside the Great Wall into an empire that could dominate the Central Plains. It established the Former Yan, Later Yan, and Southern Yan.
Yan, in fact, highly imitated the system of the Han and Jin Dynasties. Why don't you consider such a regime that is closer to your Wang family and is willing to accept the Han people? I remember that the ancestral home of your Wang family's commandery was in Shandong, in Beihai.
Why go to Guanzhong instead of serving in the closer Liaodong? If my grandfather was willing to serve as an official in Qianyan, wouldn't this history have to be rewritten?" (End of this chapter)
