Rouran is not the same Rouran as it used to be, and the Northern Wei is no longer the Northern Wei. It developed like Rouran, and the stronger Northern Wei became the Great Wall blocking Rouran from going south. Therefore, Rouran, whose territory reached Lake Baikal in Russia, could only
Wandering on the edge of Chinese history, among the barbarians.
Even so, Rouran cannot be ignored. During the Tuoba Tao period, Rouran was treated with fierce pursuit and beating, which made Rouran weaken a lot. Tuoba Tao passed away, and during the period of Empress Dowager Feng, Empress Dowager Feng adopted a policy of relaxation.
The two countries exchanged envoys and paid tribute year after year.
However, such a peaceful development situation in Rouran did not last long. The enslaved tribes within Rouran continued to resist and flee, which greatly weakened Rouran's power.
In 487 (the eleventh year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty), Afu Zhiluo, the deputy Fulu tribe of Chile who originally belonged to Rouran, led more than 100,000 Luo to move westward, breaking away from the rule of Rouran, and went to the northwest of the front of the Che Division and established Gaoche.
The country established itself as king. Rouran lost control of the Western Regions and started a war with each other for more than 30 years. Rouran turned from prosperity to decline.
Later, the Rouran royal family took over the throne. Mothers and sons and brothers were killed. Yujiulu Anagui led some of them to return to the Northern Wei Dynasty. His brother Brahman became independent. However, he was soon expelled by the Chile tribe and had to
Returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Ahem, the bear is digging a hole again. The Chile tribe should pay attention. However, this hole will not last long and will be filled up soon. So, brothers, hurry up and take the stones in your hands.
The clods of soil were put down, and the bear's steel helmet was all bumpy and uneven. Oh my, he will definitely be reincarnated as a panda, or a spotted hornbill, or... I'm thinking briefly.
At that time, the Gaoche State was becoming increasingly powerful, and the Northern Wei Dynasty adopted a strategy of preserving Rouran and dividing its power to contain and resist the Gaoche State.
However, this wishful thinking of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not last long. As a Rouran nation, how could it be possible for a nation that was unwilling to surrender to be kept in captivity by the Northern Wei Dynasty?
First, in the third year of Zhengguang (522), the Brahmins rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty and plundered Liangzhou. They originally wanted to defect to the Ghada Khan, but were captured by the Northern Wei Dynasty and returned to Luoyang. Later, he died in Luoyang in 524.
Then in the following year (523), Anagui gathered 300,000 troops between the towns of Rouxuan and Huaihuang, detained the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and drove away "two thousand good people" from the Wei border, as well as public and private post horses, cattle,
Sheep, hundreds of thousands" were returned to Mobei.
I thought this would be the end, but unexpectedly, the Six Towns Rebellion broke out in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the first year of Xiaochang (525), the Northern Wei Dynasty summoned Anagui to lead an army of 100,000, marching from Wuchuan Town west to Woye Town, defeating Liuhan Baling.
The rebel army he led.
Alas, things are really changing.
However, since Anagui came, he could not come in vain. He took the opportunity to plunder, expand his strength, occupy the Monan area north of the Great Wall, claim to be the leader of the company, and defeat the Khan of Dou, and defeat the Gaoche Kingdom, which was increasingly weakened by civil strife.
So far, everything has been discussed before. Here, let’s go into more detail.
After the Six Towns Rebellion, the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties, and Rouran got the chance to revive again. Gao Huan and Yuwentai scrambled to win over Anagui, opening markets, making marriages, sending envoys, etc., which made the political relationship between them difficult.
, economic and cultural ties have been further strengthened.
The Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, were not only the exchange and integration of cultures, but also the assimilation of ethnic groups.
I read an article a few days ago that said why among the four ancient civilizations, only the Chinese civilization has continued. Modern Babylon, Egypt, and India are not the glorious countries they once were. This is because
The inclusiveness of Chinese civilization means that when it comes to foreign civilizations, Chinese civilization is tolerant and integrated, rather than like those other civilizations that stick to each other to see who can be killed.
These integrated foreign civilizations, with their own customs, assimilated into the Han people, injected vitality into the Han civilization and made the Han civilization more colorful. The Han civilization entered another period of vigorous development. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Five Hus
The Sixteen Kingdoms, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms until the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, these turbulent periods were also another awakening period for Chinese civilization. They did have darkness, but there was also light in the darkness...
Oops, ouch, I’m getting excited as I talk, here’s a bucket of ice!
Back to the topic! Let’s just talk about Rouran!
After the external environment became peaceful, Rouran began to rectify its internal affairs, absorbing Han culture in many ways, changing the official system, and establishing a reign title. Anagui also reused Han people, absorbed the production technology of the Han area in the Central Plains, and changed the previous "living by water and grass, without anything".
After conquering Dingling, a city wall was built on its old soil and named "Muwei City".
Not only that, Rouran also sent envoys to Jiankang in Southern Qi, asking Southern Qi to send doctors and brocade weavers, craftsmen who made compasses and engravings to Mobei. Although they were rejected, it showed that Rouran needed doctors and craftsmen from the Central Plains. It was favored by the Han people.
The influence, in the later period, gradually became agriculture.
Externally, on the one hand, it served the Northern Wei Dynasty and on the other hand, it wooed the Southern Qi and the Southern Liang Dynasty in order to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty from both front and rear. It also had contacts with countries of all sizes in the Western Regions.
If it continues like this, it may take another 180 years for the Turks to rise. However, in the midst of a great situation, a resistance struggle broke out among enslaved tribes and slaves. Such an opportunity gave the residents
At the southern foot of today's Altai Mountains, the former Rouran Blacksmith Turks had the opportunity to become increasingly powerful.
In 552, Ili Khan, the territorial gatekeeper of the Turkic capital, was rejected because of his proposal to Anagui. He united with Gaoche and sent troops to attack Rouran. Anagui was defeated and committed suicide. Rouran royal family An Luochen and others fled to the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Those who remained in Mobei were also divided into east and west parts: the remaining people in the east were led by Iron Expedition; the remaining people in the west supported Uncle Deng as their leader.
Rouran in the east was defeated by the Turks and defected to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was settled in the Mayichuan area (today's Shuo County, Shanxi Province). The following year (553), An Luochen and others rebelled against the Northern Qi and returned to Mobei. After being pursued by the Northern Qi, Rouran in the east was basically
It collapsed and An Luochen's whereabouts were unknown.
In 555, the Turkic Mugan Khan Qijin led his army to defeat Rouran in the west. Uncle Deng led thousands of remaining soldiers to defect to the Western Wei Dynasty. Although the Western Wei Dynasty had a good encounter with Uncle Deng, he "encouraged the front and rear Yu Bao and gave him six thousand pieces of miscellaneous colors."
However, under repeated threats from the Turkic envoys, more than 3,000 people including Uncle Deng and others were handed over to the Turkic envoys and brutally killed outside Qingmen in Chang'an. The middle-aged and younger men were spared and assigned to the prince's family. The Rouran Khanate was destroyed and the remaining people moved westward.
Note that it was the Rouran Khanate that perished. It was a political power, not a nation. Some people are clamoring about how the northern nomads were wiped out. They want to complain hard.
The word "annihilation" means: to disappear, to perish; to disappear, to perish. In Chinese history, the political regimes established by many nomadic peoples in the north, note that they were political powers, were indeed wiped out, but the nations were not wiped out. These ethnic groups
, or integrated with other nomadic peoples, or integrated with the Han people, and some moved westward to present-day Russia, Europe and other places, and integrated with the ethnic groups there.
