The Northern and Southern Dynasties were a divided dynasty in China, divided into the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties, with the Southern Dynasties being Liu Song, Xiao Qi, Xiao Liang, and Southern Chen, and the Northern Dynasties being the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou.

As a continuation of the Han regime and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the royal family of each dynasty was mainly the Shi family, because after the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, most of the military positions were held by the Shi family. As a result of the efforts of the rulers, the rule of Yuanjia and the rule of Yongming appeared, and the country became prosperous.

The Emperor was supported by the prestigious mainstream clans, but the clans only wanted to maintain their position and did not fully support the imperial family, and the Emperor also supported the Han clan in military positions to balance the power. Due to the struggle for the throne within the imperial family, bloody incidents often occur in the clan.

The south was weak and the north was strong, and the territory gradually moved southward, and when the Southern Dynasty Liang was improved by Emperor Wu of Liang, and the rebellion of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the national strength of the Southern Dynasty gradually caught up with the Northern Dynasty. But in his later years, Emperor Wu of Liang over-believed in Buddhism, the country was peaceful for a long time, the people were not accustomed to war, Hou Jing launched the Hou Jing Rebellion, Emperor Wu of Liang died in Taicheng, part of the Xiao royal family fought for the throne and fought for their own battles, which greatly reduced the strength of the Southern Dynasty and was divided.

Replaced by the indigenous wealthy clans in the south, Emperor Wen Chen of the Southern Dynasty completely unified the Southern Dynasties, but the national strength of the Southern Dynasty Chen had weakened and could only rely on the Yangtze River to resist the Northern Dynasties.

The Northern Dynasty inherited the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms and was a dynasty of Hu and Han fusion. Most of the royal families of the Northern Wei Dynasty were Xianbei people, and the Xianbei royal family was gradually influenced by Han culture, among which the Sinicization movement of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the most prosperous. Because Rouran in the north contained the Northern Wei, it was difficult for the Northern Wei to attack the Southern Dynasty with all its strength, until the Turks, who were more pro-Northern Wei, replaced Rou and then became more stable. In the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the politics gradually deteriorated, and the national strength declined greatly after the Six Towns Rebellion, and finally split into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and were replaced by the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou respectively.

The core of the Northern Qi Dynasty was mainly the Liuzhen Wanderers and the Kwantung clan, and his military strength was relatively strong. Due to the fact that the displaced people in the six towns of the source were inclined to Xianbei and the rulers were Xianbei Han people, the Northern Qi Dynasty advocated Xianbei culture.

When the Northern Zhou Dynasty established the country, the Xianbei army was not as many as the Northern Qi, and the status was not as good as the Northern Qi and the Southern Liang, so when the Guanzhong standard policy was established, the Xianbei and Han people were integrated to eliminate the estrangement between the Hu and Han as much as possible. In the end, the Northern Zhou formed a united Guanlong aristocratic group and was able to defeat the Northern Qi, which had declined due to chaos.

The Han gradually became the main force of the Northern Zhou army, and the Han gradually occupied the dominant position, replacing the Xianbei aristocracy, and also laid the foundation for Yang Jian's later establishment of the Sui Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Liu Fang and Zheng Yi Jiaozhao used Yang Jian to know the affairs of Chinese and foreign soldiers and horses, and entered the court to assist the government.

Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was located in Yang Jian, that is, Emperor Wen of Sui, and established the Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian issued an edict to destroy Chen, and China was reunified after more than 300 years of division between the north and the south in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the northern and southern dynasties officially withdrew from the historical stage.

In 304 A.D., China's history entered a phase of division between the north and the south. Although there were four regimes in the south, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, except for Emperor Liang Yuan who took Jiangling as the capital for three years, the rest of the time, the capitals of the southern dynasties were always built in Jiankang.

The Liu Song Dynasty was the largest, strongest, and longest-reigning regime among them, and it lasted for 60 years after four generations and eight emperors. Qi's reign was short, only twenty-four years, but due to frequent battles, it went through three generations of seven emperors, with an average of three emperors changing in three years, and it was a dynasty in Chinese history that the god king changed very quickly.

Liang has gone through three generations and four emperors, a total of 56 years, among which Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, has enjoyed the country for the longest time, nearly half a century. Chen first and last for a total of 33 years, after three generations and five emperors, Chen inherited the disadvantages of the declining Liang, is a narrow territory, a weak population, weak power, plus the ruler is extremely corrupt, and finally died at the hands of strong enemies in the north, history of the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen the four southern dynasties called the Southern Dynasty.

The history of the Southern Dynasty is the history of the prosperity and decline of the gate lord clan, the imperial power of the Southern Dynasty is relatively strong, and although the social status of the gate lord clan is noble, it has been completely unable to influence the political situation. With the deepening of the development of Jiangnan, the indigenous Han people gradually rose politically, entered the ranks of bureaucrats, and were relied on by the emperor. Since the time of Liang Chen, the local tyrants in the southern interior have also become a force in the secession.

The Southern Song Dynasty is the longest of the four dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, with a total of 60 years. Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu, was originally a general of the Northern Fu Army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and took control of the imperial court after the Huanxuan Rebellion. In order to gain prestige, he usurped the Jin Dynasty and launched two northern expeditions to recover Shandong, Henan, and Guanzhong. After that, Liu Yu killed Emperor An of Jin, re-established Emperor Gong of Jin, and usurped the throne two years later, like the old things of Wei and Jin, the country was called Song, known as Liu Song in history, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty died.

Sometimes the heroes in history really have to be admired, some heroes have never received an elite education, but the energy they inspire is more professional than professional talents.

Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu is such an outstanding hero, although he said that he is a descendant of Liu Bang, but in fact it is probably only the same surname Liu, and in terms of strength, Liu Yu is much more than Liu Bang, Liu Bang can win one thing is that he is lucky, and he is also the founding emperor, but the pattern and time of the Han Dynasty are longer than Liu Song, and the field is larger, in fact, if it were not for Liu Yu's old team Liu Muzhi died suddenly, Liu Yu's Northern Expedition could not only succeed, but even end the era of division early, it can only be said that even the heroes of Providence can't help but admit defeat and bow their heads.

Liu Yu was born in troubled times, the family was poor, after his mother gave birth to Liu Yu, he died of illness because of his frailty, and his father had no money to invite a nurse, he wanted to give up the child, but fortunately Liu Huaijing's mother kindly took him in, and later Liu Yu became the emperor after he treated the family very favorably.

Liu Yu's small character slave, probably you can know that Liu Yu has been a slave for other people's families since he was a child, Liu Yu grew up in this environment, his personality is naturally very extreme, Liu Yu often claims to be the descendant of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and has also sold shoes, probably wants to emulate Liu Bei, but he is very good at gambling, and often causes trouble, and likes to make friends, which is more like Liu Bang, so Liu Yu's evaluation in his hometown is very poor.

If Liu Yu's character was born in the Taiping Era, he would be the boss of the gangsters at most, but he was born in troubled times, either good luck or great murder, and Liu Yu was able to climb to the position of the emperor, because of his gambler's desperate character, either lose or win, it seems to be providential, but in fact, personality determines Liu Yu's fate is more appropriate, so Wang Mi, a celebrity at that time, Langya Wang's family, respected him very much, and once said to him: "You should become a generation of heroes." ”

Just like Cao Cao's appearance at that time, reputation was very important in that era, and if he could get a good evaluation from celebrities, the probability of becoming an official would be relatively high.

Later, Liu Yu joined the army, Liu Yu's expectations for the future, in the troubled times to be famous to gain power, the army is the fastest, but the risk is relatively high, Liu Yu joined the army soon, he showed amazing combat effectiveness, often with a dozen ten, was found when a reconnaissance of the enemy, so Liu Yu included about a dozen teammates, and fought with more than a thousand troops, and later Liu Jingxuan found that the situation was not right, when he sent troops to search for Liu Yu, he saw Liu Yu against thousands of people, desperately fighting for good skills, couldn't help but praise loudly, and took the opportunity to attack, and quickly eliminated the thief army of thousands of people。

Liu Yu's strength is extraordinary, but he is more accurate in looking at people, if the master who takes refuge is useless, he will not be foolish, so when Liu Yu's master Liu Gaozhi does not listen to his advice to take refuge in Huan Xuan, he will not die stupidly with his master, and later Liu Gaozhi was really committed suicide by Huan Xuan.

Later, Huan Xuan wanted to subdue Liu Yu very much, because Liu Yu's ability was very good, and it was a pity to kill him, so he was very courteous, probably because the war was raging at that time, and he was in great need of talents, and then waited for Liu Yu to clean up when there was no use value, but then he was swallowed by Liu Yu, this is what Cao Cao once said about riding a tiger, to control the tiger, you must have strength, otherwise you will definitely be bitten back, when Cao Cao treated Lu Bu back then, although he had the heart to surrender, but in the end he gave up, because he did not have the confidence to control this tiger。

Liu Yu saw that Huan Xuan actually had a bottom, and he judged based on years of experience that although Huan Xuan was powerful, he did not follow the right path, and many foundations were not stable, so he had already planned to get rid of Huan Xuan. Later, Liu Yu really successfully killed Huan Xuan, and at this time Liu Yu was already the first in command in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the power of the DPRK and China had gradually been included in his hands.

At this time, although Liu Yu was in a high position, he also had a lot of political enemies, especially the old forces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who often looked for opportunities to get rid of Liu Yu because of their red eyes.

Speaking of the last generation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, these civil and military officials, for the conquest of the enemy is indiscriminate, but the means to clear their own people are super strong, but they are on Liu Yu, not only military experts, but also a set of means, Liu Yu was later known as the first person in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, in addition to military capabilities, political and economic means are the first rate.

During his reign, although the policy was tough but not messy, he often hit the nail on the head, and the people were happier and richer than other neighboring countries, all of which came from Liu Yu's hand, he uprooted the original rotten aristocratic forces, so that the money and land that originally belonged to the nobles were distributed to the people, he did not encroach on it himself, although he offended the nobles, but the people greatly supported it, of course, Liu Yu eliminated these nobles in addition to consideration, in fact, the main reason, Liu Yu was born as a civilian, and naturally understood very well what the people needed?

Liu Yu's thrift is even more famous, he, like Cao Cao, is very strict with his own life, just enough, until the death of the emperor, he still maintains such a clean exercise, which is very respectable. After pacifying Lu Xun and eradicating the original aristocratic forces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu eliminated the internal chaos of the Eastern Jin Dynasty one by one, and began to think about the Northern Expedition and prepare to complete the great cause of unifying China.

When pacifying the battle of Lu Xun, it was actually very dangerous, because Liu Yu had just destroyed Nanyan, and the old forces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fought back, causing Liu Yu to return to the dynasty, most of the troops he could use were disabled and weak, and Jiankang's troops were only 1,000 people, while Lu Xun had 100,000 troops, and the momentum was very high because of the victory, so Liu Yu's military advisers and friends all suggested returning to Guangling to avoid the enemy, but Liu Yu resolutely refused and decided to fight to the death.

At the critical moment, the hero's courage was stimulated in Liu Yu, Liu Yu's defensive battle from the beginning, slowly consumed Lu Xun's morale and troops and food, and finally in October of the same year, Liu Yu began to counterattack, and his generals Liu Fan, Tan Shao, Liu Jingxuan and others attacked Lu Xun, originally Liu Yu had to be the general of the charge himself, but he was desperately persuaded to retreat by the strategists around him, because at this time Liu Yu was no longer a young man, in case of death, there was no need to play, Liu Yu had no choice but to personally press the formation in the back, whoever dared to retreat would be killed, so the army defeated Lu Xun's fleet with fire in December, and Liu Yu once again proved that he was the first god of war in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Later, Lu Xun was killed by the assassin Shi Du Huidu in the process of fleeing in Jiaozhou, Liu Yu became more and more courageous, even though it was a big ups and downs, he was still able to maintain his original intention, which is very admirable.
