Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Five Hu Yuan Explorations in Chaotic China (1)
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "So that's it. It seems that the Hu people are not monolithic. I have only heard of the Five Hu people before, which are the five types of Hu people: Xiongnu, Jie, Qiang, Di and Xianbei. But this Dingling people,
This is the first time I have heard of it. It seems that they are also the oppressed lower class among the Hu people. They are the same as the high-ranking scholars and common people among us Han people."
Tan Pingzhi suddenly became energetic and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you have lived in the south, so you may not know the situation of the barbarians in the north. This Mr. Liu seems to have read a lot, so he should understand everything. Otherwise
, let him talk about it, if there is anything wrong, I will add it."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Forget it, Jinnu is going to join the army anyway, so he should know these things. The so-called five barbarians are the five types of barbarians that Jinu just mentioned. But there are tens of thousands of barbarians in the world, and
Are there more than just these five categories?”
"Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been the place where the Chinese people have lived. However, the barbarians from all directions are rude, rude, aggressive and warlike, and are no different from animals. Since Emperor Xuanyuan, our people have experienced three emperors and five emperors, Xia, Shang, Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Dynasty.
Hundreds of princes expanded in all directions, flying the banner of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians. Thanks to the struggle of our ancestors, we have this large territory of the Central Plains. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Great Wall has been built. This Great Wall is our Chinese nation.
, the dividing line with the barbarians beyond the Great Wall."
"Since the Han Dynasty, the surrounding barbarians have gradually formed several major tribes. The first is the Qiang people in the west. These people have lived in the land on the right side of the river, Huanglong and Longxi, half-farming and half-grazing, with a very low level of development. Some tribes live together with the Han people.
In the Longyou area, they were familiar with the Qiang people, and gradually they became a tribe, the Di tribe."
"The Qiang and Di people are of the same species, but they are divided into two races because of the different degrees of sinicization. Since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong was in chaos. Many Qiang and Di people began to move eastward and settled in the Longyou area of Hexi Province.
, after the middle period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many rebellions were launched, but the tail was not lost. After the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao also moved a large number of Hanzhong, and the Qiang and Di tribes from Hehuang area entered Guanzhong. From then on, the Han and Qiang people lived together for more than a hundred years. This
This is the origin of the Qiang and Di tribes."
"As for the north, on the vast grasslands, powerful nomadic tribes are constantly appearing. In addition to the fact that the Qiang and Di people are half-farming and half-grazing, and have many similarities with the customs of the Han people, these nomadic tribes
The tribes are completely different from the Han people."
"First of all, there were the Huns. They claimed to be the youngest sons of Jie, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty. After the demise of the Xia Dynasty, they fled to the grasslands and settled down. From then on, they became a nomadic tribe. By the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties, they had become a tribe on the grasslands.
A powerful tribe. During the period of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu had the heroic leader Maodun Chanyu. They defeated the Donghu in the east and the Da Yueshi in the west. For the first time, they established a unified and powerful khanate on the entire grassland, even the Han Dynasty.
The great ancestor Liu Bang was defeated by him!"
Liu Yu felt excited in his heart and said with emotion: "I only regret that I was not born five hundred years earlier to help Han Emperor Gaozu break the siege of Baideng and avenge the shame of my Han family!"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Send slaves, there will be a chance. In fact, there is no need for you to avenge your shame. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had been recuperating for decades. After the rule of Wenjing, the country was strong, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worked hard.
The whole country finally defeated the Xiongnu with one blow. From then on, the Xiongnu forces were driven out of the Monan grassland and retreated to the bitter cold land of Mobei thousands of miles away. Since then, the Xiongnu's vitality was greatly weakened, and many of its servant tribes fell apart.
Betrayal.”
"However, the Xiongnu were still centipede insects, dead and not stiff. They still experienced hundreds of years of wars, and repeatedly competed with the Han Dynasty for the Monan and Western Regions. However, due to insufficient population, especially the loss of the Monan grassland with rich water and grass,
Later, the sustaining power was no longer enough, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns had civil strife again, and the five Shanyus fought in melee, and finally split into two parts, the north and the south."
"The Zhizhi Chanyu of the Northern Xiongnu finally fled to the Western Regions and was killed by the local Han general Chen Tang. He also left behind the famous saying that those who openly offend the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away they are. This is the most prosperous time for my sons of the Han family.
, how proud and proud it is. The shame of Bai Deng hundreds of years ago has finally been wiped away!"
Liu Yu, Tan Pingzhi, and Wei Yongzhi were all excited when they heard this, and they all cheered in unison.
Liu Muzhi spoke happily, took a sip of water, and continued: "As for the Southern Xiongnu, Huhanxie Shanyu surrendered to the Han Dynasty and married the Han Dynasty clan princess. Although she was just a fake palace maid, but
From then on, the Han and Huns made peace again, and the southern Xiongnu also stayed on the Monan grassland. The annex became a vassal of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty also set up a Hunshu Zhonglang to monitor and manage these Huns. At this time, there were more than a hundred Huns.
Year."
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial power was weakened and the world was in chaos. The tribes of the Southern Xiongnu also lost their support on the grasslands. In order to supplement the supply of troops and dominate the world, Cao Cao moved all the hundreds of thousands of tribes of the Southern Xiongnu into the pass and divided them into five
However, he did not expect that this move would pave the way for the Wuhu Rebellion a hundred years later."
Liu Yu's heart was ups and downs when he heard this, and he sighed: "A hundred years later, the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family usurped the kingdom of Cao Wei, and the Xiongnu aristocrat Liu Yuan was a famous scholar at the time and was proficient in Sinology. He took advantage of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty to
When the Huns were in chaos and the country could no longer control the Huns, they fled back to their tribes and raised troops, allowing the Huns to directly cause chaos in the central region. They finally defeated the Jin army and captured and killed the last two emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty. They established the state in the north.
The Han-Zhao Empire defeated the Huns. The so-called Yongjia Rebellion and Shenzhou Luchen refer to this."
Liu Muzhi's expression also became sad, and he sighed: "Yes, this is a shame for each of us Han people. Now the country in the north is still in the hands of the barbarians, but we sit back and watch the country of our ancestors fall and are helpless. Every time I think about this
, I can’t help but gnash my teeth and feel heartbroken.”
Tan Pingzhi sneered and said: "The reincarnation of heaven brings unfavorable retribution. When Liu Yuan raised his army, he still fought under the banner of being the son-in-law of the Han family and avenging the Han Dynasty. His country name at the beginning had a Chinese character. Of course, later on it was really
After he proclaimed himself emperor, he changed the name to the Kingdom of Zhao to show that he was different. But these Huns were ambitious. When they were defeated and destitute, they came to surrender. It was us Han people who kindly took them in. When the country was in trouble, they did not want to serve the country.
, but they took advantage of the situation and raised troops to support themselves."
"It's just that Liu Yuan was able to do the first grade, and others could do the fifteenth. He died before unifying the north. After his son Liu Cong came to the throne, military power gradually fell into the hands of the two generals Liu Yao and the Jie tribe Shi Le. This
The two attacked each other after Liu Cong's death. In the end, Shi Le won and unified the north. Liu Yuan's Xiongnu Zhao State, also known as the former Zhao, only existed for more than ten years before perishing. It was replaced by Shi Le, a Jie man.
