Text Idiot dreams: Murong Chui fled
About Chapter 38 Story Synopsis: For the former Yan Emperor Murong Wei refused to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Battle of Fangtou, Murong Chui hurriedly rushed back to the court, arguing with reason, but the Empress Dowager and Murong Wei wanted to take the opportunity to kill Murong Chui, Murong Chui got Murong Kai's secret report again, and took the opportunity of hunting to escape to the old capital Longcheng, but his whereabouts were leaked, and Murong Chui had to defect to the former Qin, and the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian did not listen to Wang Meng's advice and took Murong Chui in.
In this story, Murong Chui's loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, but the actions of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Murong Wei are too filthy and obscene, forcing away the mainstay of the former Yan Empire Murong Chui, which is already full of contradictions, and the culturally backward former Yan Empire has embarked on the road of no return, and Wang Meng, as a first-class strategist in the history of our country, saw that Murong Chui was by no means an idle person, and defecting to the former Qin was just a desperate expedient measure, and it would inevitably become a great disaster for the former Qin, but the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian was open-minded, was able to control Murong Trai, did not listen to Wang Meng's advice, and insisted on taking Murong Trai in, which finally left a great hidden danger for the former Qin Empire.
And Murong Trai himself didn't have much plan at this time, just seeking to have a place to live, and then trying to do it in the future was just a self-consoling idea, but a person like Murong Trai with political courage and military talent, once he entered the hostile regime, he was bound to see some problems within the hostile regime, and then tried his best to use these problems to make a comeback and achieve his own political goals. Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period was a typical figure who played with this kind of political behavior and tried it repeatedly. However, at this stage, the former Qin Empire is still in a period of development, with internal stability and unity, and Murong Chui cannot do much when he first arrives, so he can only bow down and live his own rich life silently.
It's a pity that the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian at that time didn't realize that his too much generosity would lead to a series of problems, and Wang Meng naturally understood the truth that he should use heavy canons in troubled times.
Of course, at this time, the former Qin Empire only controlled the Guanzhong region, and had not yet completed the great cause of unifying the north, Fu Jian was also forgivable at this time, he needed to recruit heroes from all walks of life and plot the world, and Wang Meng, who presided over government affairs in the former Qin Empire, was by no means an idle person, and could completely suppress these foreign generals with political acumen and military talents, perhaps Fu Jian's idea was also to find a way to get rid of these foreign generals after unifying the world, but history did not give Fu Jian this opportunity at all, At the end of the former Qin Empire, the Di tribes who could sincerely support the rulers of the former Qin were far less than when the former Qin was founded, so the collapse of the former Qin Empire was also a trend of ethnic integration, and the Xianbei Murong tribes who took Murong Trai as their heroes in their hearts also supported Murong Trai to re-establish the Later Yan Empire, but in the same way, with the continuous sinicization of the Xianbei Murong Empire, the Later Yan Empire was bound to perish.
We have also said before that in this period is the period of continuous integration of the nation, as the protagonist of national integration, the Di people gradually integrated into the Han ancestors in this period, and similarly, this period is also the middle of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the former Qin Empire established by the Di people under the leadership of their great leader Fu Jian, relying on the assistance of Wang Meng, a son of the Hanmen Shu tribe, unified the northern region, brought the former Qin Empire into its peak, and the Di people who founded the former Qin Empire also became strong with the empire. A large number of Han ancestors were integrated into the north, and the former Qin Empire faced the same fate as the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitan tribes we talked about earlier.
It is the establishment of the main body of the feudal empire of the nomadic tribes, with the prosperity of the empire and a large number of integration into the Han ancestors, then these nomadic tribes, and other nomadic tribes that are not deep in sinicization have irreconcilable contradictions, so the establishment of the nomadic feudal empire in the strong time also quickly collapsed, this is the general trend of national integration. Because the feudal empire established by the nomads needs to rely on the feudal system, feudal culture, and feudal etiquette created by the Han ancestors, the feudal culture and feudal etiquette will bring their own feudal empire to a strong one, so the tribes of the nomadic tribes who founded the country are bound to quickly integrate into the Han ancestors, and there is a gap and distance with other nomadic tribes, and other nomadic tribes have to carry out new integration and establish a new empire of their own tribes, which has led to the extinction of the nomadic tribes that have been sinicized. The empire they built was facing extinction. This is also the reason for the turmoil of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
In fact, it is not only the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the country established by the various nomadic tribes, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitan tribe, the Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, and the party members established the party items, all of which are the same, because relying on the Chinese civilization to let these nomadic tribes establish a feudal empire that has enjoyed the country for more than a hundred years, but the large-scale sinicization of the main tribes of the nomads who established the empire has made these horseback peoples who once galloped like lightning on the grassland no longer have the style of the past, and in the end they did not build a country. The tribes of other nomadic peoples who lived primitive distanced themselves and were eventually defeated by the Mongols, a rising star in the steppe. In view of the lessons of the nomadic people in the Central Plains to establish a feudal empire, although the implementation of the ethnic classification system, but also deepened the domestic contradictions, and finally the Ming Dynasty established by the Han ancestors rushed back to the northern steppe, continued their nomadic life, and never entered the Central Plains again, and until the late Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes continued to fight between each other, and were never completely unified.
Comparatively speaking, the Manchu entry into the Central Plains is a relatively successful case, but the Manchu ancestors who built the Qing Dynasty were able to maintain their own feudal rule for nearly three hundred years, because its rulers continued to advocate sinicization, if it were not for the invasion of China by European and American powers, which opened the course of China's modern history, if it were not for the fact that we are only more than 100 years away from the fall of the Qing Dynasty today, the Manchus are likely to be the same as the Khitan, Dangxiang and other nomads who established feudal empires, have disappeared in the long river of history, and in fact, Basically, none of our Manchu compatriots today are able to know the language, writing, and customs of their own nationality, but there is a difference between them and our Han compatriots in the nationality column on their identity cards.
The tribes of the various nomadic tribes that established the country during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms also followed the law of deep sinicization, the tribe was about to die, and the country was going to perish, because the ancestors of the Han nationality at that time did not pay attention to the importance of the Hanmen Shu tribe to the rule of the feudal dynasty, and the ruling class of the Central Plains Dynasty only transitioned to the stage of the scholar landlord class, so the ruling class that the nomads could refer to was only the aristocratic landlord class and the scholar landlord class, so the country established by the nomads was faced with various contradictions in national integration. It is also necessary to choose the two ruling classes that pose the greatest threat to the imperial power, and it is also a historical inevitability that the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms will occur.
In the middle of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, when the former Qin Empire, which was established by the Di people, began to reuse the important political power of the Hanmen Shu people for the first time, it was reasonable for the former Qin Empire to sweep through the northern countries like a whirlwind and clouds, seize Shu in the south, and completely unify the northern region. But after all, this is an attempt by the Shu landlord class to become the ruling class of the feudal dynasty, and the former Qin Empire is also a feudal state created by nomads after all, and there are irreconcilable contradictions within it, so the former Qin Empire cannot exist for a long time. This is absolutely impossible, if Fu Jian does not launch the battle of Weishui, he will also have the day of his death, and his descendants will not be like him, able to tolerate other nomadic tribes with a broad mind, and with the strength of the former Qin Empire, the Di people who are more sinicized are also gradually dying out in the process of sinicization, and the Xianbei tribe who are eager to sinicize will inevitably set off a storm and become the master of the Central Plains, and then complete the historical mission of sinicization.
With the deep degree of sinicization of the Xianbei Murong nobleman Murong Chui defected to the former Qin, the former Yan Empire that occupied the Kwantung region lost all the hearts of the people, and the Xianbei Murong tribe living in the Central Plains must be willing to quickly enter the settled life, they must envy the people of the Di tribe who defected to the deeper degree of sinicization, and admired the loyal leader Murong Chui even more, and Murong Chui lived in the Guanzhong region, in the peace period of the former Qin Empire, he may have forgotten his identity as a Xianbei nobleman, but once the former Qin Empire declined, Murong Chui must think of ways to make a career.
At this stage, as the leaders of the Xianbei Murong Empire, the former Yan Emperor Murong Wei and the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun are completely unable to lead the people to a stable and settled life, so the entire Former Yan Empire is extremely unstable, and as the rulers of the empire, the mother and son have no ability to govern the country at all, and the people used are all courtiers who are sloppy and patriotic, and the ruling class of the Former Yan Empire is still in the backward stage dominated by the aristocratic landlord class, facing the former Qin Empire dominated by the emerging Shu landlord class. The fate of the former Yan Empire can be imagined.
In fact, after Fu Jian, the ruler of the Former Qin Empire, took in Murong Chui, as the ruling class of the Former Qin Empire, the Shu landlord class and its keenness were keenly aware of various unstable factors within the Former Yan Empire, so the Former Qin Empire naturally began to fight hard and launched a journey to unify the north after many years of recuperation.
