About Chapter 81 Story Introduction: Liu Yu, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in a poor family, Liu Yu joined the army with his clansmen when he was young, and served as a military attache in the Beifu Army, at this time it was the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the internal uprisings and coups within the dynasty continued, Liu Yu had outstanding military ability, and was constantly promoted in the war, and was quite politically talented and even won the hearts of the military, Liu Yu after Kuang restored the Jin Dynasty, and successively eliminated the Southern Yan and Later Qin in the Northern Expedition, and finally became the helmsman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In this story, we briefly reviewed the development process of Liu Yu, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in fact, I think that Liu Yu was able to win in the continuous turmoil within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is inseparable from his social life experience at the bottom, which is why after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Shu landlord class was able to step onto the stage of history and create many brilliant achievements. The emergence of Liu Yu, a son of the Hanmen, is actually because of the war that lasted for more than 100 years, so that the main ruling class of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period was finally abandoned by the people, because as the ruling class of the feudal dynasty, the family family due to the innate hypocrisy and selfishness can not play a role in stabilizing the country, only the children of the Hanmen Shu clan can continue to pursue their ideals in their hearts in the predicament, and are recognized and accepted by the people and all the people, so the children of the Hanmen Shu clan continue to emerge in the war. The continuous struggle finally formed the last ruling class in our feudal society, that is, the Shu landlord class.

In addition, the children of the Shu nationality who have the experience of living in the poor family have a deep understanding of the people's suffering, and can observe the public opinion in the country's major policies and maximize the promotion of social development, so most of the feudal dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties have existed for a long time, and even the regime established by the nomads has to reach more than a hundred years of enjoyment time.

However, like the family, the children of the Han family also have their own family concepts, which is also the shortcoming of the Shu landlord class, when the children of the Han family pass the imperial examination and enter the ruling class, they taste the benefits of entering the official class, they must leave these benefits to the children of their own family, so these children of the Han family who have entered the official will rack their brains to help the children of their family to pass the imperial examination, and at the same time, these children of the Han family who have achieved achievements will also become a member of the ruling class, become a big landlord, they will also try their best to leave the land wealth to the children of the family, which will cause a lot of feudal dynasty ruling drawbacks, of course, as the ruler of the feudal dynasty, will also try their best to deal with this political situation, which is the reason why there are many kinds of political reforms in the feudal dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties. On the contrary, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the frequency of reforms about feudal dynasties was much less.

Because the time of the aristocratic landlord class and the noble landlord class as the ruling class of the feudal dynasty was obviously much shorter than that of the Shu landlord class, and the feudal dynastic system composed of royal relatives and clans was relatively simple, the necessity of reform was not obvious. The feudal dynasty created by the Shu landlord class was naturally much more complicated, and in order to maintain the longevity of their feudal dynasty, the children of the Han family who entered the Shi had to innovate the current system to alleviate the internal contradictions of the dynasty. Of course, it is very difficult for any system to maintain the advanced nature of this political system after it has been implemented for a relatively long time, and reform is an inevitable trend, but in the feudal society dominated by the landlord class of the Shu nationality, no matter what kind of political, land, military, and economic reforms are carried out, politicians from poor families will not shake the foundation of the imperial examination system, and they will only improve the imperial examination. Because the imperial examination system is a system recognized by the common people in feudal society, and it is also an important political system for these politicians to enter the ruling class, the imperial examination system has played an extremely important role in all dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties.

However, with the progress of the times, any political system needs to be reformed. The imperial examination system did not undergo profound reforms, but only developed towards a very rigid and authoritarian aspect. Therefore, when the history of our country entered the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ruling class of the entire feudal dynasty became very rigid and invigorated, from the princes and nobles, down to the common people, all of them respected the imperial examination system, so that everyone would place their ideals and pursuits in the imperial examination, which also caused the development of natural sciences in our country in history far behind the development of humanities.

Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of our country's reform and opening up, once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Similarly, science and technology are the most important forces for social change. Therefore, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the development of our country has lagged far behind the Western world, especially in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the Western colonizers opened the door of our ancient country with strong ships and cannons, and the people with lofty ideals in our country began to seek the medicine for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Therefore, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, we have embarked on a new journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Let's take a look at Liu Yu, the gravedigger of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, in fact, Liu Yu is a member of the poor family who is constantly struggling and working hard in the troubled times in order to realize his political ambitions, and his superb political and military talents have made him embark on a historical position of controlling the fate of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In these historical events that Liu Yu experienced, we can see that the Eastern Jin Dynasty at this time was dying in the internal strife of the clans, and in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, we basically could not see a ruler who could control the fate of the dynasty. This is not because the rulers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have a certain ability, but in the face of the imperial power being hollowed out by the families, the rulers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were replaced by the Qing Dynasty emperors who are now recognized by our history lovers, and it is impossible to change the decline of the entire dynasty. Because a ruler with ability and level can never manifest without power. Therefore, in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, we basically can't see the efforts made by the rulers to maintain the long-term stability of the country, and what we see is that the clans within the Eastern Jin Dynasty are constantly attacking the imperial power, and the chaotic situation between the clans is full of contradictions. During the reign of Sima Yao, Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty maintained a relatively stable political situation and won a major victory in the Battle of Weishui, which became the biggest highlight of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the reign of Sima Yao. But in fact, it was the Xie family that really played a leading role in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in this historical period, and Sima Yao only took advantage of the exploits of the Xie family to have a little brilliance on his face.

In fact, the history of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty and even the entire Jin Dynasty is a chaotic history of clans tearing down each other and fighting each other, and the internal chaos is comparable to the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms in the north. It's just that the Jin Dynasty is nominally a unified dynasty, and there is only one emperor, all surnamed Sima. But there should be more powerful factions in each region than in the various regimes of the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In the political pattern of these clans, there are many children of the Hanmen Shu clan, these sons of the Hanmen are constantly striving to be among the ruling class, not only the Liu Yu we talked about, in the early middle and early stages of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yu Liang, a scholar from the Hanmen, once presided over the government affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty after pacifying the Wangdun Rebellion, but because of the constraints and restraints of the clans, Yu Liang could only end up depressed, but, In order to strive to become one of the ruling classes, the children of the poor family are still working hard one after another.

When the Eastern Jin Dynasty continued to decline in the internal strife of the family, Liu Yu, who was born in the Beifu Soldiers, the most elite unit of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, successfully and completely mastered the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Northern Expedition led by him was the most successful Northern Expedition in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Northern Expedition advocated by him was finally stillborn because of the resolute opposition within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so Yu Liang had little influence on the Sixteen Kingdoms, so we won't say much about it.

All in all, Liu Yu, who was born in a poor family, completely controlled the fate of the times in his own hands, which is exactly the recognition of history for the Hanmen Shu clan, which is also the trust of the people for the Hanmen Shu clan, but although the power of the family has been hit to a certain extent, but the hundred-legged insect is not stiff, in the face of the strong Liu Yu, the power of the family can only be secretly dormant, and although Liu Yu has mastered the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he still failed to control the development of the family in the system. It is even said that Liu Yu also relied on some of the clans to maintain his dominance, so the counterattack of the clans was inevitable.

Therefore, after Liu Yu replaced the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Liu Song Dynasty established by him would be easily extinguished by the remnants of the family, so among the four regimes of the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Qi Dynasty that replaced the Liu Song Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty that replaced the Southern Qi Dynasty were typical feudal dynasties dominated and established by the family. The alternation of the Southern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty is the political situation in which the clans are fighting for power and profit around the imperial power. Of course, the trend of history is to let the Shu landlord class completely return to the position of the ruling class of feudal society, so the emergence of the Nanchen Dynasty will completely end the historical era of the Shi landlord class as the ruling class.
