About Chapter 87 Story Introduction: Feng Ba, the lord of the Northern Yan State who has worked hard for more than 20 years, asked the prince Feng Yi to take charge of the government when he was critically ill, but Feng Ba's favorite concubine Madame Song wanted to seize power and tricked Feng Yi into handing over power, and Mrs. Song's series of actions were known to Feng Ba's brother Feng Hong, Feng Hong took the opportunity to launch a coup d'état, killed Madame Song, killed Feng Ba, killed Feng Yi, and established himself as the lord of Northern Yan. The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, heard about the changes in the Northern Yan Dynasty, so he continued to send troops to attack the Northern Yan, and the lord of the Northern Yan state, Feng Hong, had to be called a minister, but he resolutely refused to obey Tuoba Tao to let his prince enter the court as a hostage, and Tuoba Tao also sent a large army to conquer the Northern Yan, and the lord of the Northern Yan country, Feng Hong, could not resist, so he had to flee to Goguryeo, and the Northern Yan perished. Later, because Feng Hong was trying to restore the country in Goguryeo, he was killed by Goguryeo, and the Northern Wei Dynasty also completed the occupation of the Liao River Valley.

In this story, when the founding monarch of the Northern Yan regime, Feng Ba, was critically ill, his brother Feng Hong staged a coup d'état and successfully usurped the throne, becoming the last monarch of the Northern Yan regime. The coup d'état launched by Feng Hong is also the end of the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, among the regimes of the Sixteen Kingdoms, among the many coups and rebellions within the country, the only successful case, however, the Northern Yan regime can no longer be regarded as a regime established by a nomadic people, and the coup d'état launched by Feng Hong is completely different from the rebellion and coup caused by the loss of national cohesion after the nomadic tribes we mentioned before after the basic completion of sinicization. Because the Northern Yan regime was completely a regime established by the Huhua Han people. This regime no longer has the uneasy, embarrassing, and overwhelmed atmosphere that nomads have in the process of sinicization and learning the culture of the Central Plains. The Northern Yan regime was already considered to be a newly formed state founded by the ancestors of the Han nationality in terms of ethnic composition. In a sense, the Northern Yan regime was neither like the Former Liang regime and the Western Liang regime established by the clans. It is also not like the other regimes in the Sixteen Kingdoms established by the nomads, so Feng Hong's usurpation success is very much like the Xuanwumen Change of the Tang Dynasty in the historical dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the candle shadow axe of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Jingyan Battle of the Ming Dynasty.

However, no matter how much political talent Feng Hong had in the coup d'état, for such a small country as the Northern Yan regime. In the face of the attack of the Central Plains Dynasty, it can only face the situation of being captured. However, fortunately, among the close neighbors of the Northern Yan regime, there was also a Goguryeo Dynasty with which it had a very good relationship. Feng Hong fled to Goguryeo under the continuous blows of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the naïve Feng Hong thought that he could make a comeback with the help of the power of the Goguryeo Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the phoenix that fell was not as good as a chicken, when Feng Hong wanted to buy people's hearts in the Goguryeo Dynasty, crossed the sea to contact the Liu Song Dynasty in the Jiangnan region to try to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north and south, and restore the homeland, this was a taboo of the emperor, and was finally killed by the King of Goguryeo.

Note that the Goguryeo dynasty we are talking about is not the dynasty in the history of Korea and Korea today. From the current point of view, the Goguryeo Dynasty spanned the three countries of China, North Korea, and South Korea, and the main part of it was still in Jilin Province of China, but with the rise of the Central Plains Dynasty after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the territory of the Goguryeo Dynasty finally shrank to the Korean Peninsula. The Goguryeo Dynasty is supposed to be a feudal country that originated from the nomadic Buyeo people in the northeast of China. Of course, the Goguryeo Dynasty was only partially established by the Buyeo people. Regarding the relationship between the Buyeo people and the Jurchens, who also originated in the northeast region, there are different opinions, and there is no consensus. In general, there is another name for the Buyeo people as the Jurchens, the Buyeo people as the ancestors of the Jurchens, and the Buyeo people as part of the Jurchens. Because of the lack of ancient records, we know very little about the Buyeo people.

However, I always think that the Buyeo people are most likely a tribe of the entire Jurchen. The Jurchen should include many nomadic tribes in the northeast, and we know little about these tribes due to the lack of historical materials, and the Jurchen is the transliteration of the Han ancestors in the Central Plains in the pre-Qin period to the general name of the nomads in the northeast, so the Jurchen should represent all the nomadic tribes in the northeast, and the Buyeo people should be one of these tribes. Like the Wanyan Tribe, which later established the Jin Dynasty, and the Aixin Tribe, which established the Qing Dynasty, they were all Jurchens, and they were all part of the Jurchen ethnic group.

Because only by looking at the relationship between the Buyeo people and the Jurchen ethnic group in this way, we can understand the role of the Buyeo people in history. At the time when the Xianbei Murong Department rose in the western Liaoning region. The Buyeo people had already completed their rule over the northeastern region, and like the Xiongnu in the northern Mongolian steppe, they had established a state in the northeast that resembled a tribal alliance called Buyeo. That's why we call the tribe of this Jurchen ethnic group that established the Buyeo regime Buyeo.

The first king of Goguryeo was called Jumong, who was born into the nobility of Buyeo, and in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, in the political struggle in Buyeo, he was forced to lead his people south to the Korean Peninsula and establish power. The relationship between Goguryeo and Buyeo was very similar to that between Tuyuhun and Xianbei Murong Ministry. Also because of regional differences, because the Korean Peninsula was far closer to the Central Plains Dynasty than Buyeo, which was founded in the Far East, the Goguryeo Dynasty was more influenced by the Central Plains culture, and the Goguryeo Dynasty should belong to a feudal dynasty established by a nomadic people, and finally conquered the backward Buyeo Kingdom. During the Tang Dynasty, the Goguryeo Dynasty was attacked by the Silla Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty established by the indigenous people at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and finally came to an end.

After the collapse of the Goguryeo Dynasty, the Buyeo people who remained on the Korean Peninsula merged with the local indigenous peoples for thousands of years to form the current Korean nation. In fact, there is also a view that the origin of the Yamato nation, the main ethnic group of the Japanese, should also have a lot to do with the fact that after the fall of Goguryeo, some of the Buyeo people crossed the Korean Strait and took refuge in the Japanese islands, and the local Japanese indigenous people merged with the local Japanese people. In Japan's very vague historical books, in the Tang Dynasty, there is indeed a record of the rapid development of Japan after the people came to Japan, and now some scholars believe that the pronunciation of Japanese is very similar to the pronunciation of the Buyeo language in the northeast of our country through the study of language and culture, so it is very likely that the Tolai people in the Japanese historical materials are the Buyeo people who fled to Japan after the Goguryeo exile, and the Buyeo people who fled to Japan brought advanced productivity to the indigenous people of Japan. As a result, Japan jumped directly from the primitive society to the feudal society, and the slave society was completely omitted in the middle.

I still agree with this point of view, because the vast majority of ethnic groups are not formed in a single way, they are formed by the fusion of many ancient tribes. Moreover, Japan's history before the Sui and Tang dynasties is completely a mythical story, which shows that Japan was indeed in a primitive society before the Sui and Tang dynasties, but after the Sui and Tang dynasties, Japan entered a feudal society, and such a rapid and leapfrog development must have a lot to do with national integration. The reason for this situation must be caused by the entry of the ancestors into the Japanese islands, and there is no record in China's historical books that a large number of Han ancestors went east to Japan, so the Buyeo people, who were deeply influenced by Han culture, established the Goguryeo regime, have the possibility of entering the Japanese islands geographically, and can complete ethnic integration with the Japanese indigenous people and form a more advanced nation.

To this day, the grammatical consistency between Korean and Japanese is surprisingly consistent, which is enough to show that the Korean and Yamato ethnic groups are likely to be formed by the fusion of the Buyeo people and the backward local indigenous people, who not only helped the indigenous people of the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese islands greatly improve their productivity, but also taught them to use the written and written language, and more importantly, the Buyeo people also merged with these indigenous peoples to form a new nation. It can also be said that the Buyeo people, who established the Goguryeo Dynasty, can be regarded as the common ancestor of the Korean nation and the Yamato nation.

We can see through the formation of the Korean nation and the Yamato nation that the formation of any nation is an extremely complex process, and even the Buyeo people who established the Goguryeo Dynasty should have fused many Han ancestors who fled to the northeast, especially after Goguryeo accepted the government-in-exile of the Northern Yan regime, the lineage of its main tribe could not be explained clearly. Therefore, it is simply impossible to divide the ancestors of the nation according to their bloodline, and even if we attribute the ancestors of the Korean nation and the Yamato nation to the Buyeo people, there should be a big difference in their bloodline, but there is still a certain inheritance relationship between the language, culture and customs.

The nomads of the Sixteen Kingdoms period were also unable to find their direct descendants, and the Northern Yan regime we have discussed in this chapter can clearly see that its main population was formed by the fusion of the Xianbei Murong tribe and the Han ancestors. With the demise of the Northern Yan regime, its main population began to merge with the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, so the bloody period of ethnic integration in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and even the Northern Dynasties provided a very important contribution to the genetic diversity of our Chinese nation. The Northern Yan regime is a microcosm of the end of this bloody period of ethnic integration in the Liao River Basin and even the entire Northeast Asian region, then, with the demise of the Northern Yan regime, the bloody period of ethnic integration will soon enter the last stage. However, there is still a remnant of the Northern Liang regime on the northern land, but the scheming Northern Liang lord Fuqu Mengxun has also reached the age of the sixtieth century, and the post-Fuxiu Mengxun era of the Beiliang regime is also coming, so without this eloquent ruler, it is difficult for the successors of the Beiliang regime to reach the height of Fuqu Mengxun, and the national strength of the Beiliang regime cannot compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty that ruled the Central Plains, so the Beiliang regime will also be like the regimes established by other nomads in the Sixteen Kingdoms, going to extinction.
