Foolish dreams: Xiliang died in the country

About Chapter 83 Story Synopsis: Because Li Hui, the lord of Xiliang, constantly harassed the Beiliang frontier, he made the lord of Beiliang feel a thorn in his back and always wanted to destroy Xiliang. After the death of the lord of Xiliang Li Wei, his son Li Xin succeeded to the throne, and Fuqu Mengxun took the opportunity to use the means of deception to attack Xiliang, but was recognized by Li Xin, resulting in the defeat of the Beiliang army, Fuqu Mengxun was unwilling to fail, and had a plan, he first feinted to attack Xiqin, and then returned to the division to set up an ambush, as a result, Li Xin, the lord of Xiliang, did not know what the plan was, and took the opportunity to attack Beiliang, but the army was defeated and died.

In this story, after the death of the founding monarch Li Hui, the Western Liang regime was quickly destroyed by the Northern Liang lord Fuqu Mengxun, and the Western Liang regime perished 21 years after the founding of the country. As a regime established by a large family in the northwest region, the Xiliang regime was still too weak, and under the leadership of the new ruler Li Xin, it gradually perished.

From the demise of the Xiliang regime, we can see that during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, even the regime established by the ancestors of the Han nationality could not get rid of the fate of being destroyed at all, because the ancestors of the Han nationality who established the regime were basically from the local clans at that time, and most of the powerful clans in the northern region at that time fled to the Jiangnan region and participated in the construction of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the overall strength of the clans who stayed in the northern region was relatively weak. Therefore, the regimes established by these great families could hardly resist the attacks of the regimes established by the nomads. Therefore, although it was dominated by the mainstream ruling class of society at that time, it was difficult to escape the doom of being destroyed.

Of course, among the Sixteen Kingdoms, only the Former Liang regime and the Western Liang regime were really established by the clans, and the Northern Yan regime established by the Huhua Han people could not be compared with these two regimes. Because Feng Ba, who established the Northern Yan regime, was a Huhua Han Chinese, and he was also a military general, you must know that the family is disdainful of the nomadic culture, and Feng Ba is of course a son of a poor family, so the ruling class of the Northern Yan regime should be the Shu landlord class. But in any case, the strength and influence of the clans in the Liangzhou region are still far inferior to those in the Central Plains, so the former Liang regime and the Xiliang regime will be wiped out under the blow of the regime established by the nomads.

In fact, from the beginning of the reign of Li Xin, the lord of Xiliang, he was able to see through the deception of Fuqu Mengxun, and we can see that Li Xin, the deceased king of the Xiliang regime, is not a cowardly and mediocre lord, but it is a pity that his opponent is the scheming Fuqu Mengxun, and Xiliang's national strength is still difficult to compete with the Beiliang regime that occupies Guzang, so Li Xin's defeat is completely reasonable. And Li Sui, the ruler elected by the Xiliang regime at the time of the fall of the country, basically did nothing, and the Xiliang regime perished, so the real king of the Xiliang dynasty was Li Xin, and Li Sui was just the last nominal monarch of the Xiliang regime.

For the Northern Liang regime, under the leadership of the national hero Fuqu Mengxun, the Western Liang regime was defeated, and the Northern Liang regime established by the Xiongnu Lu Shuihu system completely controlled the Liangzhou region and became the most powerful regime in the northwest region. The Beiliang regime has therefore reached a very prosperous stage, if we say that according to the historical law we have said, the Beiliang regime should also have reached the stage of decline and demise of the melon ripe, fortunately, the talented and strategic Beiliang lord Fuqu Mengxun is still alive, and the Beiliang regime is still in a relatively stable state. But after all, there will be a day when the crane will go west, so we can imagine the situation of the Beiliang regime.

We can see from the time of the demise of the Xiliang regime that around 420 A.D., the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Xiliang regime, which represented the fundamental interests of the family, all perished, which marks that during this period, as the ruling class of the society at that time, the Shi landlord class was facing an unprecedented political crisis, although the Shi family took advantage of the civil strife of the Liu Song Dynasty to re-establish the Southern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty in the Jiangnan region, but at this time the Shi landlord class was politically at the end of the road, The establishment of these two dynasties can only be regarded as a return to the glory of the noble landlord class that is about to withdraw from the stage of history.

As far as the history of the northern region is concerned, with the demise of the Xiliang regime, in the context of the great ethnic integration of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the newly formed Han ancestors gradually abandoned the Shi landlord class in the choice of the ruling class, we have said before that the nomads who are with cattle and sheep completely belong to the Hanmen Shu people, and the Sixteen Kingdoms period is also created by these nomadic tribes from the Hanmen Shu people in the continuous process of sinicization, and even at the end of the Sixteen Kingdoms, there was also the Northern Yan regime established by the Huhua Han peopleTherefore, in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and even the Northern Dynasties, the historical contributions made by the children of the Hanmen were far more than those of the Hanmen in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and even the Southern Dynasties, so the Sixteen Kingdoms period and the Northern Dynasties period gave the children of the Hanmen Shu great space for development, and the formation of the real meaning of the landlord class of the Shu nationality was in the Northern Dynasties period after the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

As we said, the Guanlong aristocratic group formed at the end of the Northern Dynasty was the transition period from the scholar landlord class to the Shu landlord class, in fact, the Guanlong aristocratic group can also be regarded as a prototype of the Shu landlord class. Comparatively speaking, the children of the Hanmen in the Jiangnan region are still in the stage of relying on the family to maintain feudal rule, so it is clear which of the dynasties in the south and the north is superior or inferior in the choice of the ruling class, and finally, at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasty successfully defeated the Southern Dynasty, which is also an inevitable trend of history.

From this, we can also see that although in the Jiangnan region, the children of the Hanmen Shu clan have gained control of the feudal dynasty, but in terms of system and concept, the family still occupies a more important position in the southern dynasty. However, among the various regimes in the northern region, the status of the great families was gradually declining, and the children of the Han family had already entered the ruling class in large numbers in the middle of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Although the regimes established by these nomads still rely on the clans in the northern region, the children of the Hanmen have played an indispensable role in these regimes, so in the various regimes in the northern region, it is more conducive to the development and growth of the children of the Hanmen Shu people, forming a more advanced ruling class, and finally in the continuation stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, that is, the period of the Northern Dynasties, the Shu landlord class stepped onto the stage of history. It is precisely because the various regimes in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms are not confined to the ruling class and are the ruling mode of the scholar landlord class, and finally, during this period, the former Liang regime and the Western Liang regime built by the family clan all perished to the regime established by the nomads. The great clans of the northern regions also declined and then died out in the regimes established by these nomads.

Therefore, we can see that the demise of the Xiliang regime is actually an inevitable stage of historical development, no matter how the rulers of the Xiliang regime harass and attacks the Beiliang regime, it is difficult to achieve a decisive victory, but the Beiliang regime was able to defeat the Xiliang regime in one fell swoop, which is enough to prove that the people of all ethnic groups in the northwest region at that time were not committal about which ethnic group established political power, but had a new understanding of whether the ruling class had the choice of advanced nature. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the new Han ancestors formed by the great integration of the nation, because when the new Han ancestors were formed, the Chinese culture was also changing imperceptibly, and people's thinking was also quietly changing, for the families who established political power in the Liangzhou area one after another, the people of all ethnic groups in the Liangzhou area have a new understanding, and finally, the Xiliang regime built by the family family is not as long as the former Liang regime established by the Zhang family in the early stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms, only 21 years, It was destroyed by the Northern Liang regime.

From this, we can also see that in the early stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms when the former Liang regime began to divide the country, the people of all ethnic groups in the Liangzhou area were still very supportive of the family families who presided over the political affairs of the Liangzhou region, which made the former Liang regime the longest regime in the sixteen countries, but with the peace and stability created by the former Liang regime, the process of sinicization of the nomads in the Liangzhou region was accelerated, which also made the former Qin Empire of the former Liang regime tend to collapse, and there were four secession regimes in the Liangzhou region for a time. Under the dominance of these regimes, the people of all ethnic groups in the Liangzhou area also carried out a bloody campaign of ethnic integration, and the Han ancestors who were finally formed abandoned the Xiliang regime established by the original indigenous clans, and established the control status of the Beiliang regime established by the Xiongnu Lushuihu system over the Liangzhou region.

However, after all, the Liangzhou region is a part of the northern land, and once a powerful Central Plains dynasty appears, the Liangzhou region will naturally bow down and surrender. Therefore, although the Northern Liang regime once again completely controlled the Liangzhou region after the former Liang regime and the Later Liang regime, with the end of the great ethnic integration, the Northern Wei Dynasty completed its control of the Central Plains, and the Northern Liang regime naturally fell under the jurisdiction of the Northern Wei Dynasty like the former Liang regime was subordinated to the former Qin Empire.

However, at this stage, the gradually stronger Northern Wei Dynasty is also separated from the Liangzhou region by a Huxia regime that occupies the Guanzhong region and reaches its peak strength, so for the rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Huxia regime is the biggest obstacle to the Northern Wei Dynasty's unification of the north and the unification of the world, so the Huxia regime will inevitably bear the brunt of the Northern Wei Dynasty's primary goal of launching a unification war.
