About Chapter 48 Story Introduction: The former Qin Emperor Fu Jian led a million-strong army to the south, and he learned that the vanguard Liang Cheng's department occupied Luojian, and Fu Rong besieged the Eastern Jin Dynasty naval army in Kipshi, not only arrogant, but also sent the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Zhu Xu to meet the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Xie Xuan, trying to persuade Xie Xuan to surrender, but Zhu Xuan was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and informed Xie Xuan of the details of the former Qin army, Xie Xuan listened to Zhu Xu's words, changed his strategy, and sent his troops to lead Liu Gaozhi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to advance, and Liu Xuanzhi used the strategy of darkness Chen Cang, After the defeat of the former Qin pioneer Liang Cheng in Luojian, forcing Fu Rong to give up the siege of Kipshi and retreat to Shouyang, Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation to lead the main army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to reach Weishui, and began to confront the former Qin army across the river.

In this story, the Eastern Jin army, which was not superior in numbers, won a victory with the help of Zhu Xu, and won a great victory in Luojian, and the battle of Liu Jiao was cut into Liangcheng, and the Eastern Jin army gained an advantage in morale. Similarly, in the later decisive battle of Weishui, Zhu Xu also played a key role, and finally shattered the dream of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian to unify the world, and also made the historical background of the great integration of nationalities in full swing at that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty founded by the Chinese nation finally kept half of the country. So that today's people still think that the Battle of Weishui preserved the bloodline of the Chinese nation, culture and a series of things, so Zhu Xu, a small person who was once in the Eastern Jin Dynasty controlled by the family, has also left a name in history, and even said that today's people respect Zhu Xu's loyalty and courage, and they all think that he is the hero of our Han nation.

In fact, many people today do not know that our Chinese nation is a combination of many ethnic groups, and today's Han nationality is also the earliest inhabitants of the ancient Central Plains and the various tribes of Dongyi, Xidi, Beirong, and Nanban, and in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the various tribes of the nomadic people who created various countries are the outstanding sons and daughters of our Chinese nation in ancient times, and they yearn for the advanced Central Plains civilization and eagerly want to integrate into the Han ancestors. Therefore, the ethnic differences between the two sides in the Battle of Weishui were mainly reflected in the society at that time, not to mention that the former Qin Empire founded by the Di people basically continued the shape of the Central Plains Dynasty in terms of organizational structure and cultural inheritance, and there is no need for us to look at them from a national perspective today.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about a well-known historical figure, that is, Yue Fei, the anti-Jin hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei's loyalty to the country with the wide spread of the commentary "Yue's Army", but the Jin Dynasty that Yue Fei fought against was created by the Jurchen Wanyan Department, Zhu Xu is naturally not as famous as Yue Fei, but what he did also resisted the invasion of nomads, however, what they are facing are all ethnic groups that originated in our country, at best, it is just to solve the contradictions within our Chinese nation, so he can't be called a national hero, and the famous Yue Fei can only be called an anti-gold hero by us. Let's take a look at Qi Jiguang, the anti-Japanese hero of the Ming Dynasty, although the southeast coastal bandits were serious at that time, they were still dominated by Chinese, but because the Chinese pirate leaders at that time hired some Japanese ronin in order to bluff, and had the taste of foreign invasion, Qi Jiguang was called a national hero. Judging from the praise of Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang, we really should have a correct view of the nation today, and should not look at the ancient nomads and today's ethnic minorities from a narrow perspective; the people of all nationalities who have lived in our country for generations are all inseparable members of the Chinese nation, and the splendid and colorful Chinese culture is also created by the people of all nationalities, and the people of all nationalities today must not be discriminated against, and they can never be treated slowly.

For the whole process of the battle of Weishui, regardless of whether the character of Zhu Xu appears, the former Qin Empire built with the Di people will be difficult to win the battle of Weishui in any case, because the Di people are not completely sinicized after all, and its internal is extremely unstable, after the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian unified the north, and did not solve the big problem that the various nomads eagerly want to sinicize, during this period, the once prominent Xiongnu main tribe basically completed the sinicization, The Xianbei tribes are making efforts to finally complete the sinicization, but it is a pity that the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian, who unified the north, was in a hurry to achieve success and did not solve the most important contradiction in the country, so he began a new round of large-scale southern expeditions, and the object of his conquest was the Eastern Jin Dynasty established by the Chinese people whose education level was much higher than that of the nomads, so the defeat of the former Qin Empire was inevitable.

Even if the former Qin Empire conquered the Eastern Jin Dynasty with more victories and fewer wins, occupied half of the south of the Yangtze River, and completed the unification of the whole country, this can only speed up the Sinicization of the Di people who established the former Qin Empire.

It can be seen that the dynasty established by the nomads is actually very sad, if you want to maintain your long-term rule, you must accept the advanced Han culture, when the establishment of the feudal dynasty of the nomads is completed by the sinicization, its tribe becomes the new Han ancestors, this feudal dynasty has no more advantages over other nomadic tribes militarily, and there is no cultural advantage for the vast number of Han ancestors, so the feudal dynasty created by the nomads has not lived much, and it is only after the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Liao Dynasty founded by the Khitans, the Western Xia Dynasty founded by the Dangxiang people, the Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty established by the Jurchens, and the Mongol Empire established by the Mongols existed for a long time.

Analysis of the reason why these dynasties have existed for more than a hundred years, in the final analysis, is because the ruling class of the feudal dynasty at that time has entered the stage dominated by the Shu landlord class, and the nomads have also accepted the Han culture at the same time, but also accepted the Shu landlord class, so with the efforts of the children of the Han family, these dynasties have basically maintained a relatively long time to enjoy the country, and the Qing Dynasty has fully accepted the baptism of Han culture, making its ruling time the longest of the nomadic people's founding. However, its national identity has long been lost, fortunately the Qing Dynasty is not too far away, otherwise, the Manchu people would have disappeared in the vast river of history like other nomadic peoples in the history of our country.

On the other hand, these nomads during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in this historical stage, the landlord class of the scholar clan is still the dominant ruling class of the entire feudal China, even if the former Qin Empire attaches importance to the cultivation of the children of the Han family, but it is a transitional stage after all, whether it is in the process of sinicization of the nomads, or in the process of transformation of the ruling class, the existence of the former Qin Empire cannot be too long, and such a large-scale war can only accelerate the collapse of the former Qin Empire.

Of course, as the emperor of the former Qin Empire, Fu Jian, it is impossible to understand such a truth, and Zhu Xu is also impossible to understand, they are all doing what they should do according to the thinking of the times, and in the end, the former Qin Empire quickly collapsed after the Battle of Weishui, and Fu Jian also died on the battlefield, and the general Zhu Xu followed the etiquette of the sage, loyally maintained the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and finally became famous in history and became a model of loyal ministers and good generals.

What's more, at this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the opponent of the former Qin Empire, was in the heyday of the rule of the landlord class of the Shi clan, and Xie An, who presided over the political affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, did his best to resolve the contradictions between the clans, maintained the stability of the political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and provided a political guarantee for the victory of the Battle of Weishui. Moreover, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was an orthodox dynasty unanimously respected by the ancestors of the Han nationality at that time, whether they lived in the north or the south, regardless of the dignity and inferiority of their status, they were looking forward to the king in their hearts, and it was impossible to firmly support the former Qin Empire established by the Di people to destroy China and China, and unify the world, and the people of all ethnic groups were also tired of conquest and longed for peace, so the southern expedition of the former Qin was unpopular, and only a preliminary contact between the two armies in Luojian caused the former Qin vanguard to collapse, This is not only the proper command of the generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the ability to fight well, but also the unpopular performance of the former Qin Empire's southern expedition.

In fact, looking at the entire Weishui battlefield, the performance of the former Qin's million-strong army, basically no scenes of soldiers fighting, more of a touch of collapse, even in the early stage of the war, the former Qin army continued to conquer the city and achieved some results, but this should be more of a strategy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time to retreat. Luring the enemy deep and holding on to the tired enemy in the Jiangnan water network area may be the most effective method that Xie An, who pretended to be calm at that time, came up with. The joy fell from the sky that Zhu Xu, the former minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, changed his persuasion to surrender anyway, and the front-line general Xie Xuan changed his strategy in time, and in the end, he won the war as quickly as possible.

Imagine that even if Zhu Xu didn't do it anyway, the former Qin army would be difficult to win, the Eastern Jin Dynasty army was entrenched along the Huai River and the Yangtze River, at this time it was the cold winter in the south of the Yangtze River, the million army of the former Qin Empire, the logistics supply must be difficult, plus the northern soldiers are not accustomed to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone is like an arrow, and the complaints of the entire former Qin military camp are much louder than the sound of drills, so such soldiers, the collapse of the former Qin army is also inevitable. But because Zhu Xu was anyway, Xie Xuan's impromptu response, and Fu Jian's unknown general situation, ended the war early.

Regarding the whole process of the Battle of Weishui, the historical records are not very detailed, and because the history of the entire period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not taken seriously, so that such a war has only left an allusion to our people today, and the details of the specific war have long been impossible to verify.
