Chapter 44 Loyalty
Chapter 44 Contrary to Words
Active in North China, the Xianbei Tuoba Tribe, in the period of its chieftain Tuoba Yilu was named the acting king by the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor Chu, and helped Liu Kun to resist the Later Zhao lord Shile, but after the death of Tuoba Yilu, his tribe fell into civil strife, and under the blow of Later Zhao, moved north to the desert.
When Shi Le established Zhao, the Tuoba Department had to send protons to attach, to the time of Shi Hu's administration, Tuoba Shiyiqian, the son of the leader of the Tuoba Department who had been hostage in Yecheng for more than ten years, returned to the desert to take over the people, and referred to the Central Plains code system, set up a hundred officials, made great efforts, made the tribe gradually stronger, and defeated the Gaoche tribe, the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe and other tribes several times, and gradually controlled the North China region centered on Yunzhong (now Inner Mongolia and Lingel County), Tuoba Shiyigan was supported by the tribes, and proclaimed himself the acting king.
In 374 A.D., Tuoba Shiyiqian again led his troops to attack the Xiongnu Tiefu Department, and Liu Weichen, the leader of the Tiefu Department, was defeated, so he had to flee south to the former Qin, and after Fu Jian sealed it, he still let him be in charge of his subordinates.
In October 376, Liu Weichen led his troops to be defeated again by Tuoba Shiyiqian, and had to send people to ask for help from the former Qin emperor Fu Jian. The former Qin Emperor Fu Jian had just destroyed Qianliang at this time, and looking around the northern land, only the Tuoba Shiyi Qianzhi Dynasty was still competing with it for the length of size.
Fu Jian immediately took the opportunity of Liu Weichen to ask for help, and ordered Fu Luo, the assassin of Youzhou, to lead an army of 200,000 troops, and Zhu Tong, Zhang Hao, Deng Qiang and other generals led troops and horses to invade Daiguo by separate routes, and approached the southern border of Daiguo. When Tuoba Shiyiqian heard the news, he hurriedly ordered the Xianbei Bai and Dugu tribes that had surrendered to him to meet the former Qin army, and the two were powerless to resist. Liu Kuren, the commander of the south, led the crowd and had to retreat into the clouds.
Tuoba Shiyiqian was unwilling to be defeated, and sent Liu Kuren to lead 100,000 cavalry to meet the battle at Shiziling, but lost again. At this time, Tuoba Shiyi was infected with illness and had to lead his troops to take refuge in the north of Yinshan.
However, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and all the tribes of the Gaoche tribe that were conquered rebelled that year, and Tuoba Shiyiqian was attacked on all sides, and there was nowhere to hide, which coincided with the retreat of the former Qin army and had to move to Monan again.
In December of the same year, Tuoba Shiyiqian led his troops back to Yunzhong, but in the face of strong pressure from the former Qin army, Tuoba Shiyiqian's doom continued. Twelve days later, Tuoba Shiyiqian's eldest son, Tuoba Weijun, saw that he was terminally ill, fearing that he would be abolished and murdered. Soon, after the news of Tuoba Shiyiqian's killing reached the former Qin army, the former Qin generals Li Rou and Zhang Hao immediately led the army to storm Yunzhong, and the people of the Daiguo Department were separated from Germany and fled one after another, Tuoba Weijun was captured, the Daiguo perished, and its territory was merged into the former Qin.
At this time, Fu Jian unified the north, full of ambition, now only the Eastern Jin Dynasty is still in the south of the Yangtze River, and the countries of the Western Regions are also self-reliant again after the destruction of Qianliang, as a generation of heroes, Fu Jian of course wants to be the emperor of the ages who unified the world.
When the news of the demise of the country reached Chang'an, Fu Jian knew that he was only one step away from his dream, and then at the banquet in Chang'an, between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Fu Jian remembered the strategist Wang Meng, who had just died for a year, and then remembered Wang Meng's last words.
In June 375 AD, the former Qin prime minister Wang Meng, who was worried about the country and the people, became ill from hard work. Former Qin Emperor Fu Jian personally prayed for Wang Meng's blessing and sent envoys to various famous mountains and rivers to worship in order to recover Wang Meng. It happened that Wang Meng's condition improved, and Fu Jian was overjoyed and ordered an amnesty for prisoners below the capital penalty.
Wang Meng, who was on the sickbed, heard it and wrote: "Wechen never thought that the emperor would lose the virtue of heaven and earth because of the cheap life of the minister, which is unique since the opening of the world, and the emperor's grace makes Wechen sincerely afraid!" Wen Chen heard that the best way to repay the emperor's favor is to speak bluntly, please let Wei Chen with his dying life, dedication to the will. The emperor's dragon power intimidates the desolate land in all directions, and the prestige and virtue illuminate within the Liuhe; 100 counties in Kyushu, seven out of ten; Pingyan Dingshu, such as picking grass mustard. However, a good author may not be a good author, and a good beginning may not end well. Therefore, throughout the ages, the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty knows that it is not easy to start a business, and they are all trembling, as if they are on the edge of the abyss. I implore the emperor to take this as an example, and the world will be very fortunate!"
Fu Jian saw the music written by Wang Meng with all his heart's work, tears fell like rain, and he was overwhelmed with grief.
In July of the same year, Fu Jian learned that Wang Meng was critically ill and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit and inquire about the future. Wang Meng slowly opened his eyes and exerted all his strength to say to Fu Jian: "Although the Jin court is secluded in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still orthodox in China, and it is peaceful from top to bottom. After the death of the minister, the emperor must not try to destroy Jiangnan. The Xianbei and Qiang people descended to the emperor's royal family, the thief's heart is not dead, and the attempt to resurrect is the emperor's enemy, and sooner or later it will endanger the country, and it should be gradually eradicated to benefit the country. ”
After that, he died. Emperor Fu Jian dismissed the dynasty for three days, several times in the coffin to pay tribute, weeping and weeping, Fu Jian issued an edict, according to the funeral rules of the Han Dynasty, with the highest standard of the minister to Wang Meng solemnly buried.
For nearly a year, Fu Jian scrupulously followed Wang Meng's last words, worked diligently for the government, saw the opportunity, and quickly destroyed Qianliang and Daiguo.
However, time flies, the Si people have passed away, and the confident Fu Jian has tears in his eyes, looking at the warm atmosphere of the banquet, and thinking: Wang Meng didn't see the current prosperity after all, and his last words were too cautious. Then he wiped his eyes, raised his glass and said loudly: "I can level Jiangnanhu?" ”
At this time, Murong Chui raised his glass and said loudly: "The emperor is eloquent and strategic, he is powerful and powerful, and he is as easy as a finger in Jiangnan, we are willing to serve to the death!" ”
Most of the ministers of civil and military affairs echoed the voice, and Fu Jian glanced at the ministers more firmly, and looked south thoughtfully, feeling like Qin Shi Huang.
If you know whether the former Qin will march into the south of the Yangtze River, and what the Eastern Jin Dynasty monarchs and ministers will do, please see the next chapter.
