Text: Idiot Dreams: Former Yan takes Kanto

About Chapter 29 Synopsis: Although the Ran Wei regime swept away the remnants of the Later Zhao forces in Hebei, the former Yan regime that rose in the northeast took advantage of the broken mountains and rivers in the Central Plains to attack and destroy the Ran Wei regime, occupy the Kwantung region and capture the ruler of the Ran Wei regime, Ran Min, the ruler of the former Yan regime, Murong Jun beheaded Ran Min and officially ascended the throne as emperor, and Murong Jun also began to carefully govern the Kwantung region, where the war was extinguished.

In this story, the Xianbei Murong Department through the integration and annexation of the various tribes of the nomads living in the Central Plains, greatly resolved the contradiction between the nomads and the settled peoples in the Central Plains, and finally defeated and captured Ran Min, destroyed the Ran Wei regime, occupied the Kwantung region, and the ruler of the former Yan Empire, Murong Jun, led the Xianbei Murong tribe to start the process of sinicization.

When Murong Jun led the Xianbei tribe into the Central Plains, the various tribes of the nomads who gathered in the Central Plains at that time basically took refuge in the Xianbei Murong tribe, and the Ding Ling people were only representatives of these nomads living in the Central Plains, because they were also nomads, and the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains, which greatly conformed to the will of the nomadic people who gradually moved towards a settled life. It is also known as the Gaoche clan, and its clan name is also known as Tieler, Eile. Therefore, the car they used is also called the chariot, because the wheels of this kind of car are high, which is very suitable for the migration of nomadic people, and until now, the ethnic minority people living in the Mongolian steppe still use it.

In fact, I think that Ding Ling, Gao Che, this tribe is only one of the many nomadic tribes, similarly, Ding Ling, Gao Che's family name is only a general name for the nomadic tribe that uses tall wheels, and does not only refer to a certain race, because the car is very suitable for the migration life of nomads, so this kind of car should have been widely popularized in the grassland at that time, so from the nomadic tribe naming, Now we have no way of identifying the family of these nomads.

When the various tribes of the nomads continued to attach themselves to the Xianbei Murong Tribe, it can be seen that Ran Min's killing order did not play any role in the long-term peace and stability of his country, but instead led to the various tribes of the nomads uniting against this king, and the Han ancestors did not unite to resist and resist the southward movement of the Xianbei Murong Tribe, and only the ruler of the Ran Wei regime, Ran Min, charged into battle with his own troops, and finally the unpopular Ran Min was captured and killed. After the former Yan Empire that defeated the Ran Wei regime obtained the right to rule the Kwantung region, its ruler was much stronger than Ran Min, who was born in the Han ancestors, in governing the country, and the former Yan Emperor Murong Jun can be said to have made great efforts to govern the country.

During the period when the former Yan Empire established by the Xianbei Murong Department occupied the Guandong region and the former Qin Empire established by the Di people occupied the Guanzhong region, the Xiongnu and the Qianren who had built the Han Zhao Empire and the Later Zhao Empire had faded out of the historical stage, so I think that from the founding of the Han Dynasty to the occupation of the Kanto region by the former Yan, about 50 years or so should belong to the early stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and it is also the initial integration period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period in the history of our country.

Because the Xiongnu main tribe that dominated the Mongolian steppe in the north, after thousands of years of migration and conquest, left a brilliant record in the history books, as the nomads who dominated the steppe gradually became stronger and stronger, the population increased, the nomads were bound to leave the grassland that carried their glory and shame, and chose a new starting point for their own nation, and the Huns finally came to the end of their national development history during this period, but this was also a new journey for them to share weal and woe with the ancestors of the Han nationality.

With the collapse of the Han Zhao Empire established by the Xiongnu nobleman Liu Yuan and the Later Zhao Empire established by the Xiongnu subordinate ethnic group of the Xiongnu people, the Di and Xianbei people entered the Central Plains, and the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu people began to gradually merge with the Han ancestors and other nomadic peoples. Even after this period, until the Sui and Tang dynasties, although there are still records about the Xiongnu in the history books, especially the Xiongnu Lushui Hu and Tiefu tribes established the Beiliang Kingdom and the Huxia Kingdom at the end of the Sixteen Kingdoms respectively, however, the main Xiongnu tribes that once dominated the northern Mongolian steppe have basically disappeared in the early stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and the records of a single Xiongnu in the history books of later generations must be the descendants of the Xiongnu who have been sinicized for a long time, and these Xiongnu descendants have been no different from the ancestors of the Han people, just by word of mouth. Knowing that he is a descendant of the Huns. At the end of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Lu Shuihu and Tiefu tribes belonging to the Xiongnu were only selling dog meat with sheep's heads in the name of the Xiongnu, and their internal subordinates would definitely have the blood of the Xiongnu, but they were certainly not the real Huns who dominated the Mongolian steppe in the north back then, and they were just small tribes that had submitted to the main tribes of the Xiongnu.

As we said before, the Later Zhao Empire is a transitional period of ethnic integration during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and the process of ethnic integration should start from the Huns who have fought and made peace with the ancestors of the Han nationality for thousands of years, and the Qiang tribe with a very high degree of sinicization and the Xianbei tribe who are eager to sinicize have joined the army of national integration, and the Qian people are only vassals of the Huns, unexpectedly replacing the Han and Zhao Empire established by the Huns, and building a more powerful Later Zhao Empire, but, with the death of Shile Shihu, After the establishment of the Zhao Empire, the Qian people finally replaced their masters, and smoothly introduced the Xianbei tribe and the Qiangdi tribe, making a good transition in the process of ethnic integration.

That is to say, the great ethnic integration of the entire period of the Sixteen Kingdoms began with the establishment of the Han and Zhao Empire by the main Xiongnu tribes who dominated the Mongolian steppe, and the Later Zhao Empire established by the Xiongnu vassals led to the Xianbei and the Di people in the Guanzhong region who occupied the Kanto region respectively, leading to the two protagonists of ethnic integration, and in fact, the historical context of the entire ethnic integration should be like this: it should be the Xiongnu who led out the Xianbei tribe and the Qiang tribe, but it is not a coincidence that as a vassal of the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu defeated the Xiongnu. Took the place of the Huns. As a result, the relatively small ethnic group of the Qiang people became a small episode of ethnic integration. However, the Qiang tribe and the Xianbei tribe finally joined the army of national integration, which is a historical inevitable process, and the main tribe of the Xiongnu people is integrated into the Han ancestors, which is also a historical inevitable process, and the Qian people are also integrated into the Han ancestors.

When the former Qin Empire established by the Di people and the former Yan Empire established by the Xianbei people controlled the Guanzhong region and the Kanto region respectively, the initial integration period of the great national integration officially ended, and the hegemony of the two empires also started the process of the continued integration period of the great national integration, and it was also the middle stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, that is, the Di people were integrated into the Han ancestors, and because the Di people were integrated into the Han ancestors before the Xianbei people, so the former Qin regime established by the Di people was most in line with the fundamental interests of the huge Han ancestors. Therefore, the former Qin regime was able to develop and grow rapidly.

The former Yan Empire established by the Xianbei Murong Department is just an attempt by the Xianbei people who are eager to sinicize, although the rulers of the former Yan Empire want to maintain the national Zuo for a long time, but because the sinicization of the Xianbei people is not deep, it is not in line with the fundamental interests of the Han ancestors, and it will inevitably be destroyed by the former Qin Empire established by the Di people who are very sinicized, and when the Di people are integrated into the Han ancestors, the former Qin Empire established by it will have no need to exist, and other Xianbei tribes who continue to want to Sinicize will of course want to enter the Central Plains, The various tribes of other nomadic peoples have made great progress by taking the opportunity of the chaos in the Central Plains for decades, and naturally want to create a foundation, and when the former Qin Empire declined, they also called Wang Jianguo, presenting the chaos of multinational hegemony at the end of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

We have also said a lot before, in fact, the culprit in the process of national integration in such a chaotic situation is not the nomads themselves, but the gentry and landlord class, which was the ruling class of the feudal dynasty at that time. In fact, in later feudal dynasties, there was a similar situation of ethnic integration. However, it did not give rise to such an intricate situation of chaos among various countries. For example, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol tribes entered the Central Plains, and successively eliminated the Khitan, Jurchen, and Dangxiang and other nomadic peoples established the regime, and the Mongols traveled long distances to expedition to Central Asia and West Asia, and the various nomads in this region were dotted around, with the Mongol conquest, a large number of nomadic tribes in the northwest began to merge, forming our Hui people today, I think not only the Hui people were formed, but many of the ethnic minorities in the northwest region today should have begun to form during that period. However, during the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, there was no chaos such as the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms. I think the reason for this is that the ruling class at that time, the Shu landlord class, far exceeded the Shi landlord class during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in terms of its ability to govern.

Because the ruling class of feudal society will eventually transition from the aristocratic landlord class to the Shu landlord class. The landlord class of the Shi nationality is just a transitional period in the period of feudal history in our country, a big episode, the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties actively used by the Shi landlords as the ruling class will not be peaceful after all, especially in the face of such complex national problems, the ruling body of the Shi landlord class has a natural deformity, so in this transitional period, because of the selfishness and hypocrisy of the family clan, it has led to the lack of governing ability, and the feudal dynasty established by the ancestors of the Han nationality is difficult to control the entire land of China. They could only survive in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River and dump each other, which eventually led to the tragic situation of the Five Hu Chaos in the Central Plains and the chaos of the change of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
