About Chapter 80 Story Introduction: Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing because of his preference for his second son Yao Bi, but also remembered that the crown prince Yao Hong was filial piety and did not change the crown prince, as a result, during his serious illness, Yao Bi's rebellion was triggered, although Yao Xing put down the rebellion, but he also died of excessive grief, after Yao Hong inherited the throne of Later Qin, Western Qin, Hu Xia repeatedly invaded the territory of Later Qin, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Liu Yu led the Northern Expedition again, Later Qin Emperor Yao Hong had to surrender Liu Yu, was killed by Liu Yu, and Later Qin also perished, but Liu Yu was unwilling to lose control of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Soon the class returned to the dynasty, and Helian Bobo, the lord of Hu Xia, took the opportunity to move south, occupied Chang'an, and completely controlled Guanzhong.

In this story, after the death of Emperor Yao Xing, the Later Qin Empire quickly went to extinction, and since then the Qiang Empire has disappeared in the long river of history, although during this period, the Qiu Chi State established by the Di people still exists, but this small country, just like the Tusi regime during the Qing Dynasty, has no impact on the strategic pattern at that time, so the fall of the Later Qin Empire also marks the Qiang Nationality, the second main ethnic group of the Great National Integration of the Sixteen Kingdoms Period, the Qiang Nationality has entered the period of final completion of integration. Although we can still find the Qiang people in our country's ethnic minorities today, this Qiang people are very different from the Qiang people in history, but our current Qiang people are also part of the Qiang people who once established the former Qin Empire, the Later Qin Empire, and the Later Liang regime, and the current Qiang people can also be understood as a small fragment of history left by the Qiang people at that time, that is to say, the current Qiang people and the Baima Tibetans are the remnants of the Qiang people in the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Because the ancestors of these two ethnic minorities lived in different geographical environments, they eventually evolved into two completely different ethnic minorities.

And the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Liu Yu who destroyed the Later Qin Empire has basically controlled everything in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time, but after the defeat of the Later Qin Empire, because the cronies of the ministers who stayed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty died of illness, he was far away in Chang'an, I am afraid that there will be changes in the court, so he left his son Liu Yizhen to stay in Chang'an, and he personally led the army to return to the dynasty, however, where is the ten-year-old Liu Yizhen is the opponent of the battle-hardened Hu Xia lord Helian Bobo, Helian Bobo easily captured Chang'an, an important town in Guanzhong, and completely completed the rule of the Guanzhong region.

For Liu Yu's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, many people are heartbroken for Liu Yu halfway, and heartbroken, in fact, as a son of the Han family, although Liu Yu controlled the great power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the power of the clans within the Eastern Jin Dynasty still exists, they are very dissatisfied with Liu Yu's control of the court situation from the Hanmen, although at this time the landlord class of the Shi clan has embarked on the road of extinction in the internal struggle, but in this period, the power of the clan is still not to be underestimated, it can be seen, Liu Yu was able to achieve the Northern Expedition to destroy the Southern Yan regime and the Later Qin Empire, but it was also extremely difficult, Liu Yu of course did not want to see his soldiers exhausted in the Northern Expedition, so after he destroyed the Later Qin Empire, Liu Yu also stopped the Northern Expedition and began to plan the change of dynasty wholeheartedly.

Liu Yu led the army back to the Jiangnan region. This undoubtedly gave Helian Bobo, the lord of Hu Xia, a big pie. It can be said that Liu Yu's son Liu Yizhen completely lacked his father's courage and ability, and soon left Chang'an, an important town in Guanzhong, to Helian Bobo. As a result, the Huxia regime also went to its peak. In the same way, according to the historical law that the process of the regime established by the nomads from its heyday to its decline was very short. After the Huxia regime took control of the Guanzhong region. It will also go into decline and then to perdition. Of course, this historical law may also be changed or delayed by Helian Bobo's fate, but in fact, Helian Bobo does not have the gene of longevity, so the Huxia regime will inevitably perish according to this historical law.

Similarly, the Western Qin regime, which took advantage of the fire to rob the Later Qin Empire with the Hu Xia regime, also reached a state of extreme strength after destroying the Southern Liang regime and occupying some areas of the Later Qin Empire. We will talk about the decline of the Hu Xia and Western Qin regimes later, and we will not say more about it here.

Let's go back and look at a series of absurd things that Emperor Yaoxing of Later Qin did at the end of his reign, from pampering the Buddha to increasing taxes to pampering the second son. What he did was completely the move of a dead king, especially in the selection of a successor, Yao Xing can be said to have hesitated again and again, and never made up his mind, which eventually led to the rebellion of the second son Yao Bi, Yao Xing himself also witnessed the tragic situation of his beloved son being killed, and his life was whimpered, which is really sad and lamentable.

In fact, history is constantly unfolding, just when Yao Xing completely controlled the Guanzhong region, the Houliang regime that occupied the Liangzhou region also had a tragedy of cannibalism caused by improper establishment of the reserve, and Yao Xing must have heard of it. But when he himself was terminally ill. But he forgot the lesson of Lu Guang, the lord of the Liang country. In fact, people are like this, when you look at other people's things, you can see everything. But when things are spread out on themselves, they let themselves be overwhelmed. Therefore, I think there is nothing wrong with the idea that reading history is reading minds, but there are very few people who can really make a difference by reading minds.

In fact, it was not only Lu Guang who gave Yao Xing a bad example on the issue of establishing reserves. And in the early stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms, a generation of heroes Shi Le also failed to see the key to the problem on the issue of establishing a prince, which led to Shi Hu's usurpation, and Yao Xing should also know about such an incident. But didn't he think that his second son Yao Bi would do the same thing as Shi Hu? Of course, we don't know what Yao Xing thinks, but in any case, the fall of the Later Qin Empire is still not in Yao Xing or even Yao Hong, and I think that even if Yao Bi, who has a certain military ability, inherits the throne of the Later Qin, it will not be able to save the situation of the fall of the Later Qin Empire. Because at this time, the Qiang ethnic group had basically completed the sinicization, the fall of the Later Qin Empire, and even the demise of the regimes established by various nomads, was only the scene of the maturity of the regimes established by the nomads during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms caused by the laws of history, and this historical trend could never change direction because of the efforts of a certain figure.

So I think that when we look at history, reading history is reading the mind, which is an aspect of reading history. Finding the laws of history is also a beautiful thing to enjoy, which not only allows us to evaluate some things objectively. It can also give us a deep understanding of the hidden truth of a thing. In fact, we have told a lot about the story of the Sixteen Kingdoms period. We learn from the life and death of the various regimes established by the nomads during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms. It is also interesting to say that the laws of history found are fully applicable to every dynasty in the history of our country, and even that we can deduce the development of our society in the future through this law.

I remember that Mr. Wang Liqun once said that there are four kinds of people, one is the person who neither seeks people nor does work. One is the person who seeks people, one is the person who seeks things, and the other is the person who seeks both people and people, in fact, most of us are either seeking people or seeking things, but it is really more difficult to seek people and things than to ascend to the sky, this kind of people are simply rare in the real society, and people who do both are the elite of the people, the red rabbit among the horses. If we say that we evaluate ourselves, we are the kind of person, I think I am a person who seeks things, and I also hope that most people will be a person who makes a person a person feel fulfilled, and only by looking at people by things can they understand a lot of truth. But nowadays, most people are looking for people, always thinking that they can do the right things by looking at the right people. But in fact, people are two-sided, one set before people and one set after others. What you see may not be true, so this sets a certain trap for the person seeking people, and brings hidden dangers to his life. But the people who seek things are different, the more things they do, the more things they understand, and the more people they know, they will become the people who seek and do things unconsciously, and such people will succeed after a long time. Of course, I am not successful myself, but I also hope and wish many people success here.

Let's get back to the point, with the fall of the Southern Liang regime and the Later Qin Empire, a new situation appeared in the northern land during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the first dynasty that established the country in the Central Plains and called the emperor was the Hu Xia regime that occupied the Guanzhong region and the Northern Wei Dynasty that occupied the Kandong region, and the Northern Yan regime established by the Han people of Huhua remained in the Liao River Valley, and the hegemony in the northwest land continued, but there were only three regimes left, namely the Xiliang regime established by the family clan, and the Northern Liang regime established by the Xiongnu Lushui Hu system. There is also the Western Qin regime established by the Xianbei beggar tribe.

Among these regimes, the countries established by the nomads have basically reached the peak state, so these regimes will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the Nanliang regime and the Later Qin Empire, towards decline and extinction, of course, the specific time and method of the demise of these regimes depends on the internal and external situation of their regimes, and the most important factor is the internal changes of the ruling class, in fact, in this regard, we can see from the demise of the Nanyan regime and the Nanliang regime, Murong Chao and the bald Wei Tan are not the kings of the dead country but do the things of the dead country, This is the fact that as long as there is a slight difference in their rule over the regime, it will be infinitely magnified by internal and external contradictions, and finally stage the scene of the destruction of the country. Therefore, the Huxia regime, the Western Qin regime, and the Northern Liang regime all faced such a dilemma, depending on which regime's ruling class had great internal changes, which would easily perish. The Xiliang regime and the Northern Yan regime established by the Han ancestors were in a corner of the northeast and northwest respectively, and they could only be eliminated by the more powerful regime, and there was no way to regain control of the Central Plains through the historical trend of ethnic integration.
