About Chapter 44 Story Synopsis: After the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian defeated the Qianliang regime, he began to set his goal on dominating the northern grasslands and establishing the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, which took advantage of the contradiction between the Xianbei Tuoba and the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe. More than 200,000 troops were sent to attack the Daiguo, and the leader of the Xianbei Tuoba Tribe, Tuoba Shiyiqian, was killed by his son under successive defeats, and the Daiguo established by the Xianbei Tuoba Department perished, and the former Qin Empire also completely unified the northern region. Former Qin Emperor Fu Jian was excited and sighed at Wang Meng's assistance, but when he thought that he was only one step away from his dream of unifying the world, Fu Jian left Wang Meng's deathbed advice behind and began to prepare for the unification of the world.

In this story, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe conquered by the former Qin Empire is also one of the many nomadic tribes in the northern Mongolian steppe, and it is the same origin as the Xianbei Murong tribe that established the former Yan Empire as we mentioned earlier, all originating near the Xianbei Mountain, that is, the southern foothills of the Daxing'an Mountains we have today, but with the continuous migration and development of various Xianbei tribes, each Xianbei tribe has its own migration direction. The difference between the Xianbei Tuoba tribe and the Xianbei Murong tribe is that their migration direction is the Mongolian steppe in the northern region, while the migration direction of the Xianbei Murong tribe is the Liao River Valley, so although the two tribes are the same tribe, due to the different migration directions, they have embarked on two different development paths.

After hundreds of years of development and conquest in the northern Mongolian steppe, the Xianbei Tuoba took advantage of the opportunity of the decline of the Xiongnu, the overlord of the grassland, under the continuous blows of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and gradually annexed the various tribes of the nomads in the northern Mongolian steppe, and the main tribe of the Xiongnu also moved south because of the threat of the emerging Xianbei Tuoba tribe, so the Xianbei Tuoba tribe began to dominate the northern grassland after the Xiongnu.

Unlike the former overlord Xiongnu, soon after the Xianbei Tuoba Department dominated the northern grasslands, the Central Plains Dynasty was divided and chaotic because of the instability of the ruling class, and the Xianbei Tuoba Division, which had just formed a tribal alliance, naturally wanted to get a share of the Central Plains chaos, but because the Later Zhao Empire, which was established by the Xiongnu's subordinate tribes, the Xianbei Tuoba Tribe, blocked the southward footsteps of the Xianbei Tuoba Tribe, which was not yet strong, and under the leadership of Shi Le, the great leader of the Xianbei Tuoba people, the Later Zhao Empire conquered the Xianbei Tuoba Division. In order to allow their tribes to be like the Huns, smoothly enter the Central Plains and gain a firm foothold, the Xianbei Tuoba Department began the process of sinicization under the leadership of the leader Tuoba Shiyigan, who had been in the Later Zhao Empire for ten years, after his father and brother died of illness, returned to the northern Mongolian steppe to inherit the position of tribal leader, which was deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, after succeeding to the throne, modeled on the system of the Later Zhao Empire, the loose tribal alliance was reformed into a kingdom with the nature of a feudal state, and according to the Later Zhao Empire's own title, set the country number as the generation.

At a time when the Xianbei Tuoba Department spared no effort to build its own country through sinicization, the Xianbei Murong Department of its same origin was close to the Central Plains because of its geographical proximity, and its leader Murong Hao continued to accept and accommodate the Han ancestors who fled to the Liao River Valley to escape the war, so the degree of sinicization of the Xianbei Murong Department was already relatively deep when the Xianbei Tuoba Department established the dynasty, and took advantage of the civil strife of the Later Zhao Empire, under the leadership of Murong Jun, the son of Murong Hao, began to enter the Central Plains, and finally succeeded. Although the Xianbei Tuoba Department also wanted to enter the Central Plains, it was never able to achieve a decisive victory in the confrontation of the Xianbei Murong Department that entered the Central Plains before itself, which was also because the degree of sinicization of the Xianbei Tuoba Department was not as deep as that of the Xianbei Murong Department, so it was far less mature than the Qianyan Empire built by the Xianbei Murong Department in terms of political system and military strategy. In the same way, the former Qin Empire built by the Di people with a deep degree of sinicization was naturally better than the Former Yan Empire built by the Xianbei Murong Department in terms of political system and military strategy, so in the competition for the Central Plains, the Xianbei Murong Empire was always at a disadvantage, and the Former Yan Empire was also destroyed by the Former Qin Empire.

It can be seen that the depth of sinicization directly affects the key to the rise and fall of the feudal state established by various tribes of the nomadic people, and although the Xianbei Tuoba and Xianbei Murong are of the same origin, the degree of sinicization is also different because of the different regions. The Xianbei Murong Tribe, which migrated to the Liao River Valley, was closer to the Central Plains, so the degree of sinicization of the Xianbei Murong Tribe, which was far higher than that of the Xianbei Tuoba Tribe, which was busy dominating the northern grasslands. However, during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the various tribes of the nomadic people continued to enter the Central Plains and accept the baptism of advanced Han culture, and the Xianbei Tuoba tribe that dominated the Mongolian steppe was also deeply affected.

It's a pity that the Di people who are very sinicized are higher than the Xianbei Murong and Xianbei Tuoba tribes in terms of sinicization, so the former Qin Empire established by the Di people destroyed the Qianyan Empire that occupied the Kanto region and the Qianliang regime that occupied the northwest region, and then destroyed the Daiguo like a withering and decaying state, and once again forced the Xianbei Tuoba Department to submit to the Central Plains Dynasty. But at the same time, it also made the Sinicization process of the Xianbei Tuoba Department difficult and tortuous.

To sum up, because the degree of sinicization of the Xianbei Murong Department is higher than that of the Xianbei Tuoba Department, it was able to enter the Central Plains region before the Xianbei Tuoba Department to establish the Qianyan Empire, and the Xianbei Tuoba Department that had just begun to be sinicized did not have the conditions to enter the Central Plains, so in the end, the Qianqin Empire established by the Di people with a deep degree of sinicization destroyed the Qianyan Empire established by the Xianbei Murong Department with a deep degree of sinicization and the Daiguo established by the Xianbei Tuoba Department at the beginning of sinicization. The Xianbei Tuoba and Xianbei Murong tribes were placed under the rule of the Di people, who were very sinicized, and gradually pulled together the two nomadic tribes of the same origin, but the degree of sinicization was different.

When the Di people in the unification of the north, gradually completed the sinicization, the establishment of the former Qin Empire there is no historical need for existence, so after the defeat of the battle of the water, because the main tribe of the former Qin Empire began to dissipate in the process of sinicization is about to be completed, the former Qin Empire also tends to disintegrate in internal and external troubles, the most powerful Tuoba and Murong tribes in the Xianbei tribe have also accelerated the pace of sinicization, and once again established a feudal empire belonging to their own tribes, and then completely completed the sinicization of their own tribes.

However, at this stage, the degree of sinicization of the Xianbei Tuoba Department is still relatively low, and many of the systems established by it are not perfect, and its subordinates are still very shallow under the influence of Han culture, so when the country is in crisis, there is a crisis within the Xianbei Tuoba Department, and it was quickly destroyed by the powerful former Qin Empire. However, under the continuous influence of Han culture, the desire of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe to restore the country became stronger and stronger, and the idea of entering the Central Plains became stronger and stronger.

The emperor of the former Qin Empire, Fu Jian, was intoxicated with the dream of unifying the world and couldn't extricate himself, leaving Wang Meng's last words behind, and his understanding of the contradictions between the Di people and the various tribes of the nomadic people under his command was very not profound, and he adopted a tolerant attitude towards the nobles who had submitted to the Xianbei Murong Department and the Xianbei Tuoba Department. In the end, it planted the bane for the fragmentation of the former Qin Empire.

Wang Meng, as a first-class strategist in the history of our country, had the foresight to see that the most prominent contradiction in the entire Chinese society at that time was the contradiction between the various tribes of the nomadic people, between the tribes with a deep degree of sinicization and the tribes with a shallow degree of sinicization. That is, the various tribes of the nomadic people need to be integrated and sinicized in a peaceful environment within the strong pre-Qin Empire, and finally form a new Han ancestors, but the process of the great integration of the whole nation is too long and complicated, and the Shu landlord class, which has just tried to become the ruling class, is difficult to lead such a complicated national change, and Wang Meng is a mortal person after all, and it is impossible for him to exceed the time of the great integration of the nation in his lifetime. And Fu Jian, who Wang Meng had high hopes for, was not Wang Meng himself after all, nor was he a pure politician, so it was very difficult for Fu Jian to unswervingly implement Wang Meng's last words.

As a generation of emperors, it is understandable that Fu Jian wants to become the first emperor of the world, and at this time, the former Qin emperor Fu Jian, who has completed the great cause of unifying the northern region, cannot clearly see that within the former Qin Empire, all the tribes of the nomadic people who submit to themselves are ready to move, and they are all looking forward to the rapid decline of the former Qin Empire established by the Di people, so Fu Jian will only follow the process of unifying the Central Plains, unifying the north, and unifying the world. In the end, he used his own blood and tears to achieve Wang Menggong's reputation as the first person to cover Zhuge .

When the former Qin Emperor Fu was full of conviction and solicited the opinions of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers to discuss Jiangnan, the scheming Xianbei Murong nobleman Murong Trai was very timely and vigorously praised Fu Jian, which made the already ambitious Fu Jian even more arrogant, and it can be clearly seen from Murong Trai's actions that the Xianbei tribe that was subordinate to the Former Qin Empire at that time was very willing to see the two great powers of the Former Qin Empire and the Eastern Jin Dynasty contend, and they were also very willing to see the Di people speed up the process of dissipation in the war. As a very strategic general, Murong Trai should have also seen that the Former Qin Empire seemed to be calm on the surface at this time, and the tribes of other nomads who submitted to the Former Qin Empire like his own tribe must also have undercurrents, so Murong Trai constantly praised Fu Jian, the purpose was to change the situation in the world, so that he could lead the tribe to regain the glory of his ancestors.
