"The Donghu tribe has occupied Youyan for nearly a hundred years, from the north to the south. In the Great Chan, Murong Xian was born, and Zizhen, Sunjun, and the virtuous people were included."
——Guo Zhiqi
At this time, Guo Zhiqi, who was a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Southern Ming Dynasty and concurrently the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Rites, was inspired by the poetry of the Murong family during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, during the Five Yan regime.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to revive a country after it was destroyed, and when the Nanming regime was in turmoil, it was rare to see Murong Xin, as an important official and actual prime minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty, remembering a Hu man among the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms: Murong Xin.
But if we study the background in detail, we will find that Murong Xin and Murong Yanguo behind him are indeed not simple!
Before the Middle Ages, although there were "Shao Hua Guo" and "Guang Wu Zhong Xing", one thing is that it is a long time ago, the historical records are unclear, and the authenticity is difficult to verify. The other reason is that it was not due to the master's misconduct and usurpation by Wang Mang. The Shuzhi royal family can continue as soon as they rise up. Han Dynasty. In the history of China, the country has been founded, destroyed, restored, destroyed, and restored again. The only one that has survived for hundreds of years is the Wuyan regime of the Murong family.
From being a small state in a corner of Liaodong to settling in the Central Plains, the former Yan regime lasted for eighty-five years and lasted for four generations. At its peak, its territory reached Ruying in the south, Qingqi in the east, and Qingqi in the west. Defeat Xiaoli and defend Yunzhong in the north." Although it was a separatist regime, it once had the strength to unify the Central Plains and was once the largest country in China at that time.
"North Qiao Feng, South Murong" The world knows that the surname "Murong" is probably derived from the deeds of Murong Fu, a character in Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece "Tian Long Ba Bu".
Compared with Murong Fu's dream of restoring the country, fourteen years after the fall of Qian Yan, a man overcame all difficulties and dangers, went through hundreds of twists and turns, and led his tribe all the way eastward back to his homeland. He expanded the territory thousands of miles, suppressed civil strife, and in his sixtieth year, he once again ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, completely restored the territory of his father's Murong family, and revitalized the Yan country as the later Yan. The founder of this country was Murong Xin's grandson, Murong Chui.
This "The First Cry of Yanming" is based on Murong Chui (the boy's name is Murong Ba). From the time when he was thirteen years old, he led the army in the first battle and defeated Yuwen; he went out with his father to conquer Goguryeo; he guarded Tuhe and defeated the enemy country. He did not dare to invade; he fought in the south and in the north, and went south to attack Jieren Zhao State. He became a forward general and was invincible.
Although he repeatedly made great contributions to the Yan State in the first half of his life, he was eventually tabooed by his brother Murong Jun. Murong Jun ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, was granted the title of King of Wu, and was only a servant. In the end of Murong Jun's life, he sent Murong Chui to Daibei. In order to suppress the chaos in Youping Land, he was mobilized repeatedly to prevent him from holding military power for a long time. Murong Chui's original name was Murong Ba, but the word "Ba" in his name was eventually jealous of the King of Yan, so he changed his name to Murong Chui. Before the death of King Yan, he used the matter of "witchcraft" to torture his wife Duan Xian. Duan Xian was the daughter of Duan Mobo, Xianbei of Duan tribe. She was cold and noble in nature, but she was unwilling to frame Murong Chui and died in prison. King Yan He also forced the queen's sister to become the Hun family's successor as Murong Chui's main wife. This is evident from her jealousy.
After the death of Murong Jun, his son Murong Wei ascended the throne. Murong Chui's elder brother Murong Ke was entrusted with the position of Dazai. Murong Chui always admired Murong Chui. During this period, Murong Chui conquered Henan and captured Luoyang, which made him famous. According to meritorious service, he was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of Jing, Yang, and other military personnel in the ten states, General of the Conquest of the South, and Mu of Jingzhou. With the appreciation of his brother Murong Ke, Murong Chui was indeed like a fish in water.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After Murong Ke's death, Murong Wei continued his father's suspicion of Murong Chui and summoned him to the capital to serve as a sinecure, with nowhere to expand his lifelong ambitions.
In the last years of the former Yan Dynasty, the government was in chaos. Murong Ping, who was also an auxiliary minister, was weak and incompetent. He sold his official position and gathered wealth. When Huan Wen was in the Northern Expedition, he had to retreat and advised the Lord of Yan to avoid Liaodong and return to the birthplace of the Murong family.
, the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains gave way to each other.
At this time, Murong Chui did not shy away from the criticism of the ministers and led the army to attack Huan Wen. Finally, he achieved a great victory at Fangtou and stabilized the situation in Qian Yan.
It's a pity that the swords fired at heroes never come from in front of the battle, but more from behind. Fangtou's victory shocked the hero, and Murong Ping and others stepped up their persecution of Murong Chui, forcing Murong Chui to avoid disaster in the former Qin Dynasty.
Originally, the former Qin Dynasty was afraid of Murong Chui's reputation and did not dare to send troops to attack the former Yan State. When the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian heard that Murong Chui had come to surrender, he personally greeted him. He considered him a champion general and made him a Marquis of Bindu. It can be said that one person can move a country.
However, Wang Meng, the prime minister of the former Qin Dynasty, realized that Murong Chui was not the one in the pool, and advised Fu Jian to get rid of Murong Chui. Fu Jian cherished Murong Chui's talents and could not bear to kill him. So Wang Meng sacrificed the most powerful man in Chinese history.
The plan was called the "Golden Sword Strategy". This strategy once caused Murong Chui to almost be killed, but Wang Meng still underestimated Fu Jian's love for talents. Murong Chui survived, but it caused the death of Murong Chui's beloved son Murong Lin.
Other countries. This also laid the root of Murong's tragedy.
During the period of the former Qin Dynasty, Murong Chui restrained his talents and kept a low profile. Even after his motherland was destroyed by the former Qin Dynasty, he still fulfilled his duty as a minister.
With Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian's former Qin, Hun, and Central Plains were unified, leaving only the southeastern half of the Jin Dynasty. In order to realize his ambition to unify the world, Fu Jian ignored Wang Meng's advice before his death and the dissuasion of his ministers, and launched the Feishui War.
war.
Millions of troops were wiped out, leaving behind only the historical allusions of "the grass and trees are all soldiers", "the roar of the wind and the cranes" and "throwing a whip to cut off the flow".
When the former Qin Empire fell apart, Murong Chui took his tribe, wife and children and escaped from Fu Jian's control in the name of appeasing the land of Hebei. From then on, he was like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable. He defeated the former Qin general who guarded Ye City.
Fu Pi defeated Liu Lao's Northern Expedition, wiped out the rebellion of the Ding Ling people, and re-established the Yan Kingdom on the body of the former Qin, which was called the Later Yan. Murong Chui also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which was the Emperor Wucheng of Yan. His territory of the Later Yan
The national power is almost the same as that of the former Yan State established by his fathers, and Murong Chui, who had achieved all this, was already over sixty years old, and the time given to him by God was running out.
In the end, in order to establish prestige for his half-brother Murong Ling, Prince Murong Bao did not go into battle in person. Unfortunately, the prince led Hou Yan's 300,000 troops and was defeated miserably in the land of Shenhebei. The Yan State's national power took a turn for the worse. General Banman Mansion
At this time, Murong Chui, who was seventy years old, had to go into battle in person and defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty. He vomited blood and died on the way back to the army.
Throughout his life, he fought more than seventy battles, large and small, without any defeat. He can be said to be the number one god of war during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period! The miracles that shrouded his body made me unable to part with him.
At the same time, this period of history is also a colorful history among the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, a history of ups and downs, a fascinating and thought-provoking history, with all kinds of characters emerging one after another.
Although the main plot is Murong Chui, the complexity of the characters, the frequent changes in the country, and the brutality of the war have been presented to the readers to the best of my ability. In addition to the group portraits of the Murong family in the Yan Kingdom, Shi Hu and Ran Min in the same period
, Fu Jian, Wang Meng, Huan Wen, Xie An, all kinds of characters are scattered in this series like the sands of the Ganges River; the former Yan, the later Zhao, the former Qin, the later Yan, the later Qin, the Eastern Jin, the Tuoba Wei, you can sing the song
I appear on the stage; the battle of Xiangguo, the battle of Liantai, the battle of Yecheng, the battle of Fangtou, the battle of Qin destroying Yan, the battle of Feishui, the battle of Shenhepi, scenes of tragic sword and fire collisions in the Great China
Fired on the ground.
It was an era of heroes, an era of the intersection of wisdom and wonder, and an era of our Chinese nation constantly colliding, integrating, and striving to move forward.
Every time I open a book, when I look at the historical records, I am always beaten by those brothers who hate each other, and they are sighed by the fratricide. However, they are admired by those wise and courageous people, and also praised by those who are resourceful. But the historical data is like this, and every time I explore the events
The real thought behind it, or it is unclear and laborious to cover up, or it is inconsistent, which makes people puzzled.
In order to deconstruct history, advance the plot, depict characters, and attract readers, the novel retains the basic historical facts and event context while also introducing some fictional characters, dialogues, and plots into the creation.
History is always separated by a layer of fog of time, making it difficult for later generations to explore the essence of events. Perhaps he himself was like this.
Although the main plot of "The First Cry of Yan" is Murong Chui's Yan Kingdom, in the long term it also wants to diverge into one ethnic group, the Xianbei people, who continue to migrate south and settle in the Central Plains, and even later the Tuoba clan's Northern Wei Dynasty and the Yuwen clan's Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The beginning of Xianbei's struggle.
Murong, Tuoba, and Yuwen, these three Xianbei ethnic groups are of the same origin. They are all following the footsteps of the Xianbei ancestors who went south, continuing the historical process of great integration and collision with our Chinese nation, and finally integrating the Xianbei nation into our Chinese nation.
A historical long march in the blood of the nation.
The Xianbei nation injected the majestic force of the grassland nation into China's long history of poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and opened the prelude to China's most tolerant, open, high-spirited and prosperous era.
After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, after the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, everyone in the family became corrupted and degenerated. During the Taikang period of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, the family was arrogant and extravagant, which finally led to the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".
When the royal family was in conflict, the kings fought to the death in order to win, and led the armed tribes of the barbarians into the Central Plains. The situation became out of control, eventually leading to the tragedy of "Five Husbands Chaosing China". The Jin Dynasty lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains became a melee among various ethnic groups.
battlefield.
However, there is a paradise in Pingzhou, north of Yanshan Mountain, near the Liaohe River. There is a nursery rhyme from time to time that sings: "Yan is hanging down in the south, Zhao is in the north, the middle is not as big as a stone, only here can you escape from the world." This is Murong Murong of Liaodong.
Home.
However, in Liaodong at that time, the situation of the Murong family was far from being as arrogant as that of later generations. At that time, the Xianbei tribe in Liaodong was divided into three tribes. The Murong, Yuwen, and Duan tribes. Among these three tribes, the Murong family was the weakest.
When Murong Ren's Rebellion happened again, the situation was almost in danger. How could he rise up in just ten years, wipe out the other two groups, unify Liaodong, and settle in the Central Plains?
"The king's stick is diligent", "the punishment and administration are clear, the people are open-minded and open-minded, and many exiled scholars and common people return home".
Feng Jin Dynasty Zhengshuo recruited refugees from the Central Plains, especially talented and learned people from the Han ethnic group, and entered Murong Xin's shogunate as a member of the shogunate. Due to the blessing of talents and the monarch's wide acceptance of advice, the domestic politics were clear and clear, and the national strength was
It prospered and annexed the other two parts, laying a solid foundation for the southward march to the Central Plains.
This was the first time Xianbei took the initiative to Sinicize and integrate into the Chinese nation. A hundred years later, a more profound Sinicization process would begin under the leadership of Tuoba Hong (Yuanhong), another outstanding leader of the Xianbei nation. Finally,
Under the leadership of Yuwen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with the institutional innovation of the military system, it took more than three hundred years to finally eliminate the distinction between Hu and Han, and the last brand-new country was the Sui Dynasty. This ended three hundred years of chaos in China and ushered in a great dynasty: the Tang Dynasty.
towards.
"When the Yuan and Wei dynasties opened up borders and reached northern Hebei, who would pity the Lord Longcheng when he was in the wild? If the Xia changes ended like this with the barbarians, who would continue to move to the Rong Dynasty?"
After all, the Hawaiians would not, because the long history of China is the blending and integration of countless ethnic groups that continues to this day.
