The relationship between the Zhou family and the old prince and current puppet emperor Lin Xu has rapidly improved in a very short period of time. This is known to the world. Therefore, since the Yun family has officially launched an army, it is impossible not to consider the huge threat from the Zhou family.
In fact, the two big families, the Zhou family and the Yun family, have very deep historical connections. According to an academic saying from later generations, they are both the glorious continuation of the Guanlong Group. It’s just that the Yun family originated from Guanlong and was sealed in Hebei.
The Guanlong Group is a political ruling group that originated from the Eight Pillar Kingdom of Yuwentai. It consists of military generals from the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, representing the Xianbei nobles of Bei Wuchuan and the powerful families in the Guanlong area such as Jingzhao Wei Zhen, Hedong Liuze, Taiyuan Guo Yan,
Composed of the martial arts Su Chun, Hanoi Sima Yi, Dunhuang Linghu Zheng, etc., the Li family of Longxi was called "Camel Li". Yang Jian himself was a member of the Guanlong Group.
Translated, Liu Fang, Gao Juong and other famous ministers helped to promote national policies. Li Tang claimed to be from the Li family in Longxi, and claimed to be a direct descendant of Li Hao from Xiliang. Mr. Chen Yinke once said in "Jinmingguan Series Manuscripts Part Two": "Taken from the barbaric and capable people outside the Great Wall."
Blood is injected into the decadent body of the Central Plains culture. The old stains are removed, the new machine is restarted, expanded and expanded, and thus an unprecedented world situation can be created."
Mr. Chen Yinke quoted "Quzishan Collection" many times to prove the relationship between the Guanlong scholars and the Hu surname in Xianbei. Mr. Cen Zhongmian objected: "Kuang followed Yuwentai and entered the Guan Dynasty. Although the name of Henan County was temporarily changed to Jingzhao,
But by the Tang Dynasty, most of the Henan prefectures had been restored. If the Tang Dynasty really came from Zhaojun, why did they love Longxi and insist on not changing it? Chen's theory is not credible at all.
The Chu tribe has been outside the Guanlong Group since the Western Wei Dynasty, and it is nothing more than distorting historical facts to accommodate their assumptions." However, Mr. Wang Rongzu's "Chen Yinke's Critical Biography" believes that Cen failed to provide counter-evidence for Chen's statement about Zhaozhou Zhaoqing's Erling Tombs and the "Guangye Temple Stele", and was unable to
steadfast statement
This led to a saying that it was called the Guanlong Military Group because they were the power of the powerful landowners in Guanlong and Hedong. During the battles between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties, these powerful landowners all joined Yuwentai in order to control the generals and generals of the six northern towns.
The forces of the Guanlong aristocrats were unified, and Yuwentai formed the Guanlong military aristocratic group with the Eight Pillar Kingdom as the core, generals and Kaifu as the main members, and the Fubing system as the basis. It is generally called the Guanlong Group.
This is a group established by relying on armed force and combining Hu and Han. They all occupied a dominant position in the Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty.
China had many political aristocrats during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, who almost monopolized the political power at that time. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the once glorious Eastern Jin Dynasty aristocratic families gradually declined with the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the rise of the Liu Song Dynasty. Wang Xie Yuhuan and these famous
The noble surname is no longer what it used to be. Seeing that the golden age of Chinese aristocrats is coming to an end, a new aristocratic group emerges and soars into the sky, extending the life of the Chinese aristocratic era and creating an unprecedented great era.
, this is the Guanlong military aristocratic group that has dominated China for nearly two hundred years. It originated from Daibei Wuchuan and was first built in Guanzhong. It created a total of four dynasties, namely the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty. This is in the history of China.
It was a unique miracle and pushed China to a new historical peak. The huge families and clans reached their peak during this period. In the future, whether the Yun family or the Zhou family, I am afraid they can only be regarded as this group.
continuation of
Speaking of which, Yu Wentai, who single-handedly established this group, is indeed a outstanding figure of his generation. The achievements he created have deeply affected the historical trend of China for hundreds of years after him. He was born in troubled times and developed a calm, calm, open-minded and generous attitude.
His character is "not surprised when something happens suddenly, and not angry when something happens without reason". He governs the country in an almost extremely rational way. He does not respect pretense and advocates simplicity. This is in sharp contrast to many debauched and debauched rulers in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
In contrast, his governing style was also inherited by the later Emperor Wu of Zhou and Emperor Wen of Sui.
During his decades of military and political career, he diligently cultivated internal affairs and made many achievements. He pioneered the government army system, which was praised by later generations as a good law. The influence of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Kingdom can be found in the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Today's six-official system has also become the blueprint for the six-ministry system in later generations. It is the turning point in the evolution from the three-gong and nine-ministerial system since the Qin and Han Dynasties to the six-ministry system of three provinces in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As a result, China's administrative system has become more complete and mature. He took the lead in abolishing the palace punishment that had been popular for thousands of years.
This ended the history of this inhumane punishment. In the process of the Three Kingdoms confrontation with the Eastern Wei and Nanliang, they conquered cities and expanded territory. They successively attacked Shu and Jiangling, which greatly expanded the territory of the Western Wei and gradually made the Western Wei in the military and political struggle.
Turning weakness into strength laid a solid political and economic foundation for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to unify the Northern Qi Dynasty. If such achievements are achieved, how prosperous!
When Yunzheng was reading history, he couldn't help but feel that this old man Yuwen was also a time traveler?
As a hero who can compete with Gao Huan, it can be said that the glory of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties came from his hands. Although he and seven others are called the Eight Pillar Kingdom, in fact he is the real leader of the soldiers and even the entire Western Wei Dynasty.
The Yuwen clan also produced numerous talents during this period. In addition to Yuwen Hu who later came to dominate the world and Yuwen Yong, the wise and powerful Emperor Wu of Zhou, there were also two members of the Yuwentai clan among the twelve generals: Yuwen Dao and Yuwen Gui Yuwentai.
He and his descendants were relatively tolerant. After usurping the Western Wei Dynasty, they did not kill all the previous royal families like previous dynasties, but instead rewarded them with high-ranking officials. This kind of tolerant style was also followed by the Tang Dynasty and was finally followed again by the Wei Dynasty.
This is also one of the reasons why the four inner families are not very afraid of the emperor.
Yun Lan looked at Yun Zheng and smiled faintly: "Now everyone knows that my father and son of the Yun family, one is good at defense and the other is good at attacking. As my father is stationed in Yanjing, I can make Liao and Zhou not dare to bully you to lead the army on the expedition. That's right."
Establish achievements and achieve prestige”
Yunzheng nodded, smiled, and said: "It's not that some generals have never looked for children before, they think that the Zhou family is like a Xuanwu. If the snake head stretches out, it can bite people. If it retracts, it becomes a turtle shell. They find it difficult to handle."
"What do you think?" Yun Lan smiled lightly.
Yunzheng also smiled and said: "My child doesn't see it that way."
Yun Lan nodded slightly: "Reason?"
Yun Zhengdao: "The biography of grandson Wu Qi in Volume 65 of "Historical Records" says: When Wu rose up to attack Wei Wuhou, Wuhou floated down the West River, in the middle of the river. He looked at Wu Qi and said: 'How beautiful! The mountains and rivers are solid, this is the treasure of the Wei State!
' He started to answer and said: 'In the past when virtue was no longer in danger, the Sanmiao clan had Dongting on the left and Pengli on the right. Their virtue and justice were not cultivated, and Yu destroyed them.
The intestines are in the north, and the government is not benevolent, so Tang releases it. In the country of Yin and Zhou, Longmen on the left, Taihang on the right, Changshan is in the north, and the river flows to the south. If the government is not benevolent, King Wu kills him. Judging from this, there is no virtue.
"If you don't practice virtue, everyone in the boat will become your enemy." Therefore, I think it makes sense for me to think that virtue is not the source of danger, but virtue is what makes a country strong."
Yun Lan nodded and smiled: "My son has been leading the army for a long time, and he has achieved something."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Father, handsome, thank you very much."
As a fan of the puppet army, Yunzheng has also read some military books. In a book devoted to military geography, the role of geographical factors in political rise and fall and military success or failure will naturally be highlighted separately and given special emphasis.
But this is likely to give people the impression of "geographical determinism", as if geographical factors play a decisive role in political rise and fall and military success or failure.
But in the final analysis, in fact, the fundamental factor that determines political ups and downs and military success or failure is "morality rather than danger". It is politics and military aggressiveness itself, rather than geographical factors.
"Unbenevolent", Yin Zhou was "immoral in his governance". Even though there were dangerous mountains and rivers, it could not save his fate.
There is no insurmountable danger in the world
Although Tongguan is dangerous, after all, Xiang Yu once entered it, Cao Cao once entered it, Liu Yu once entered it, and the Anshi rebels also entered it.
Although Qutang is dangerous, after all, Cen Peng entered it, Huan Wen entered it, Zhu Lingshi entered it, Liu Guangyi entered it, and Tang He entered it.
Although Jiange is dangerous, after all, Xing Luan once entered it, Yuchi Jiong once entered it, Guo Chongtao once entered it, and Wang Quanbin once entered it.
Although the Yangtze River is dangerous, after all, the Jin divisions have crossed it, the Sui divisions have crossed it, the Song divisions have crossed it, and the Yuan divisions have crossed it again.
"Dangers can be relied upon, but not relied upon." The ancient Chinese people actually had a more scientific attitude towards the relationship between geographical dangers and political rise and fall. Danger cannot be relied on because there are more fundamental factors that determine the rise and fall of politics, rather than geographical factors.
Those who win the hearts of the people will prosper, and those who lose the hearts of the people will perish. If you work diligently to cultivate a virtuous government, you will be able to avoid enemies in the distance.
Under the premise of being aggressive, we should set up dangers according to the local situation and nip them in the bud. Danger cannot be relied on at the strategic or even political level. Danger that can be relied upon is at the tactical level.
Yun Lan did not speak. He knew that Yun Zheng had not finished speaking. Sure enough, Yun Zheng continued: "Guanzhong's position in history is due to its unique geographical situation. China's terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It is divided into three steps from west to east.
Guanzhong is located on the second step of the Central Plains. It is backed by the plateau mountains of the first step and is surrounded by the plains of the third step. Guanzhong has the Qinling Mountains in the south, Longshan on the four sides, Loess Plateau in the north, and Huashan Mountain in the east.
The mountains of Mount Wei and southwestern Shanxi are also surrounded by the Yellow River. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
In order to hold off a million people with an army of 20,000, they relied on facing the Central Plains in the dangerous terrain of the country. The terrain was in the form of a high-rise building with dangerous mountains and rivers on all sides, and several important communication channels were established.
The barrier is used to defend it, thereby forming a situation in which one can advance and retreat, and can attack and defend."
