Foolish dreams: Hu Xia Liguo

About Chapter 71 Story Introduction: In order to block the attack of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing used Liu Bobo, the leader of the Xiongnu Tiefu Tribe, to lead his troops to resist the Northern Wei Dynasty with the Qinzhou Assassin Shi Wuyi, but Liu Bobo killed the Wuyi Yu and annexed the troops of the Wuyi Yu, raised troops to stand on his own, founded the Great Xia, known as Hu Xia in history, Liu Bobo used guerrilla tactics to continuously attack the city in the Guanzhong area, which made the Later Qin army overstretched, and the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing was confused for a while, and transferred the defenders of Guzang back to Guanzhong to deal with Hu Xia, And appointed the lord of Nanliang to guard Guzang, and Guzang became the land of Nanliang, and the power of the Later Qin Empire was greatly reduced, and the national strength declined.

In this story, as the Xiongnu Tiefu Tribe, which had been subjugated to the Later Qin Empire, established itself and became independent, the important town of Guzang in Liangzhou was acquired by the Southern Liang regime, and the Later Qin Empire entered the countdown to the demise. We have already said a lot before about the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe that established the Huxia regime, this is a nomadic tribe with Xiongnu and Xianbei blood, according to the naming of it by our later historians, the bloodline of this tribe and the bloodline of the main Xiongnu tribe that once dominated the Mongolian steppe in the north may be closer, or most of the people in the tribe of this tribe are from the main tribe of the Xiongnu. And judging from the surname of the leader of the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe, this tribe is relatively close to the aristocratic kinship of the main tribe of the Xiongnu. In the same way, the same should be true of the Xianbei Dugu tribe that we talked about earlier to change their clan. Of course, this does not preclude them from putting gold on their faces and using the surnames of Xiongnu nobles to improve the political status of themselves and their tribes.

In fact, as early as the early period of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the Xiongnu ethnic group had basically completed the sinicization, so the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe became the last tribe in the Xiongnu ethnic group to move towards sinicization. The Xiongnu ethnic groups who remained in the northern Mongolian steppe and were unwilling to sinicize basically no longer took the Xiongnu as their own clan at the end of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and most of the tribes of the Xiongnu ethnic group followed the Xiongnu and claimed to be Xianbei after the Xiongnu, dominating the Xianbei ethnic group in the northern Mongolian grassland, and constantly integrated with the Xianbei ethnic group in migration and nomadism. Therefore, in this period, only the Xiongnu Tiefu Department can be regarded as a tribe of the Xiongnu ethnic group with relatively pure blood, and the Huxia regime established by it can be regarded as a return to the glory of the Xiongnu ethnic group that is about to withdraw from the historical stage, and the significance of the Huxia regime is similar to the Houliang regime established by the Di ethnic group that we said before.

However, through detailed analysis, we actually found that the Huxia regime was very different from the Houliang regime. First of all, the bloodline and origin of the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe are not pure Xiongnu ethnic groups, while the Di ethnic group that established the Later Liang regime was part of the main tribes of the Later Qin Empire. Secondly, the Huxia regime had no inheritance relationship with the Han and Zhao Empires established by the Xiongnu main tribes during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and the Later Liang regime was completely established by the expeditionary forces of the Later Qin Empire to conquer the Western Regions, and the Later Liang regime was part of the Former Qin Empire. Thirdly, the sinicization time of the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe was very late, and the sinicization time of the main tribe of the Xiongnu ethnic group was much earlier, and the main tribe of the Later Liang regime and the former Qin Empire were the same ethnic group. From this point of view, we can completely regard the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe as a new nomadic tribe, he is the same as the Xiongnu Lushuihu system that established the Beiliang regime, all through the name of the Xiongnu, but this tribe is very close to the Xiongnu ethnic group in blood, far purer than the Lushuihu lineage. Therefore, it is still far-fetched to say that the establishment of the Huxia regime by the Xiongnu Tiefu Department is a return to the light of the Xiongnu ethnic group to complete the sinicization.

In any case, after the Qiangdi ethnic group in the Guanzhong region basically completed the sinicization, the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe, which was still in the stage of starting to sinicize, saw the hope of rising, and its tribal leader Liu Bobo adopted guerrilla tactics against the Later Qin Empire. It was completely the strategy of the nomads fighting each other on the grassland, and as a result, the Later Qin Empire was dizzy, and even the important town of Liangzhou Guzang gave up without thinking, which greatly reduced the sphere of influence of the Later Qin Empire. After the collapse of the Later Liang regime, the political situation of several Liang states in the Liangzhou region competing for hegemony also easily obtained the important town of Guzang with the Southern Liang regime, and the Later Qin Empire had no time to look westward, and entered a white-hot stage. At the same time, the nobles of the Western Qin regime, which was defeated by the Later Qin Empire, naturally saw the decline of the Later Qin Empire and were bound to make a move to try to restore the country. The Later Qin Empire was bound to collapse.

In fact, the Later Qin Empire embarked on the road to extinction, which was only caused by a series of problems caused by the rebellion of the Xiongnu Tiefu Department that had submitted to the Later Qin Empire. Of course, after any nomadic nation is established in the Central Plains, it will inevitably face the embarrassing situation of being difficult to resist the attack of other nomads who are not deeply sinicized militarily, and it is difficult to resist the infiltration of the Han ancestors culturally.

In fact, we now read history and study history, not only to find fun in the boring life, but also to seek the laws of history, so that we can add some experience to what we are about to do in our future lives, so as to ensure that we do things without problems or fewer problems. In fact, the same is true of the view that reading history is reading people's hearts, analyzing the successes and failures of each character in history, and seeking the truth of being a person and doing things in real life to improve one's life experience.

We can see from the rapid decline of the Later Qin Empire that it is difficult for any nomadic people in the history of our country to maintain their control over our Chinese land for a long time. According to our current point of view, it is absolutely impossible for any country or nation that has committed aggression and enslavement to our Chinese nation to succeed, nor will it be possible for us to exert its might and fortune on our Chinese land for a long time; in our modern history, have we not driven Japan to invade our Chinese nation and the United States, which attempted to enslave us, back to their hometowns? We can also look to the future through this historical law, that is, for our Chinese nation, because our Chinese culture is inclusive, broad and profound, our Chinese nation can only prosper forever, and it is absolutely impossible for us to permanently become a foreign territory and colony in this hot land where we have lived for generations.

As a matter of fact, these nomadic peoples who established political power in the northern part of our country during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms are, from our perspective today, a part of the ancestors of our Chinese nation, and we cannot treat the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms period as a separate case from the history of our other dynasties. However, in the eyes of the ancient Han ancestors, these nomads who entered the Central Plains, the occupation of our Chinese land is the invasion and enslavement of our Chinese nation, but in essence, these nomads completely followed the cultural etiquette system of the Han ancestors at that time when the feudal state was founded, and they built their own homes together with the Han ancestors in the northern region at that time, and gradually merged with our Han ancestors to form a new Han ancestors. At the same time, their culture was also largely integrated into the Central Plains culture at that time, which formed a new Chinese culture.

On the contrary, the Han ancestors who fled to the Jiangnan region were unable to keep pace with the times in the cultural etiquette system, and were eventually annexed by the dynasty established by the newly formed Han ancestors in the north. This is not only caused by regional differences, but also because the Han ancestors who stayed in the north had more nomadic genes, while the Han ancestors who stayed in the south carried very few nomadic genes, or even none, so the physical differences between our northern and southern populations today are still relatively obvious.

Of course, the difference in the physique of the people in the north and the south is not only caused by the entry of nomads into the Central Plains during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, but also in the historical period after the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Dynasties, but it does not reflect such a complex political situation, however, the ethnic integration of the Sixteen Kingdoms period and the Northern Dynasties period is more thorough and deeper with the social background of frequent wars at that time, and the ethnic integration after the Sui and Tang dynasties is also limited to a single ethnic group. Or a single region, the complexity of ethnic integration and the genetic diversity produced by ethnic integration cannot be compared with the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Dynasties.

From this, we can say that the ethnic integration carried out in the northern region of our country during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Dynasties is very important to the formation of our Chinese nation today, and this history has left too many marks on our people today, and we should remember this history, after all, our ancestors have both the Xiongnu group, the Qiangdi group, and the Xianbei group, as well as the Dingling people, the Rouran group and other nomadic blood.
