A brief story about the third chapter: the nomadic rebellion in the Guanlong region, the ruling Empress Jia discussed countermeasures with the ministers, opposed the migration theory, and advocated the suppression of the rebellion.

This story shows that at the beginning of the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, not only did the court and China continue to fight because the big families controlled the government, but also the nomads in various places for hundreds of years of internal migration and development, and the population was overcrowded, which led to a series of ethnic problems and began to threaten the stability of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The national issue is a headache for all countries in the world today, so let's take a look at how the Western Jin Dynasty, as the ruling class, deals with the thorny national issue?

Speaking of this, we have to mention the theory of migration, the author Jiang Tong, there is no doubt that he can be an official in the Western Jin Dynasty, must also be from a big family, he put forward the theory of migration, as the name suggests, its main purpose is to force the nomads who have moved into the interior since the end of the Han Dynasty to force them back to move back to their original places, and then to relieve the political discourse that the nomads who moved inward gradually developed and threatened the locality.

Jiang Tong can throw out the theory of migration, which must be able to represent the attitude of most families towards the internal migration of nomadic people.

However, it seems to me that the theory of migration is actually a fallacy, and although it is ornate and seems to be well-founded, it is actually completely unoperable in reality.

First of all, there are many reasons for the internal migration of the nomads, but one thing is certain, that is, the nomads cannot continue to survive in their original places of residence, they have no choice but to move inward, and the landlord class of the scholars will drive them back again, so it is undoubtedly to expel the nomads who have moved inward and let them fend for themselves, which will inevitably lead to desperate resistance of the nomads and a new round of riots.

Secondly, the nomadic people have moved inward for hundreds of years, because the Central Plains Dynasty has experienced wars, and the nomads who moved inward have obtained a relatively stable development environment, the population and livestock have increased year by year, and the strength of various tribes has been greatly developed.

Thirdly, as for the problem of the internal migration of the nomads, I think that the Central Plains Dynasty at that time and the nomadic tribes should understand each other and trust each other, and the two sides should use appeasement and grace as the main means through certain communication and exchanges, and the problem should be alleviated as an auxiliary measure, while the migration theory is too simple and crude, and it is impossible to achieve the desired results.

For the Western Jin Dynasty at this time, the main energy should be to develop their own national strength, more economic means to appease the nomadic tribes who are willing to accept the etiquette system and culture of the Central Plains Dynasty, and resolutely crack down on the nomadic tribes who resolutely want to build the country independently.

However, the theory of migration thrown out by the great families is completely divorced from reality, and it ignores the benevolence of Confucianism, which shows that the great families have not achieved anything in filial piety and honesty, and such political discourses also prove the hypocrisy and selfishness of the great families. It is precisely because the family is so unbearable that the Western Jin Dynasty, dominated by the landlord class of the scholar clan, naturally cannot cope with the imminent Wuhu Chaos.

Fortunately, Queen Jia, who presided over the national politics of the Western Jin Dynasty, still has a certain amount of political wisdom, and there are also some enlightened families who oppose the migration theory, so in the end, Queen Jia still chose to abandon the migration theory and suppress the rebellion of the nomads who moved inward, but she also failed to realize that for the national problem, candy is sometimes more effective than a stick, although some results have been achieved, but the follow-up problems still endanger the state power, and the royal clan power in the court should not be underestimated, so for the people's livelihood problems that arise after the counterinsurgency, The Western Jin Dynasty no longer had time to take care of it, but Empress Jia's ability to govern was still remarkable.

The historical image of Empress Jia is very poor, and the history books record that she is ugly and cruel and lewd. But I think she was born in a big family, and it is still admirable to have such a political mind, and in the eight years that she ruled the Western Jin Dynasty, the whole country is still running smoothly, and the problem of nomads who move inward is not something that Empress Jia can stop alone, and the confrontation between the landlord class of the sergeant clan and the aristocratic landlord class in the Western Jin Dynasty is complicated, and the initiator is Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, not Empress Jia, and the chaos in the DPRK and China is not something she can control.

Because in a patriarchal society, the most hated thing of the female protagonist appears, so you see that there are not many female politicians in charge of the government in history, there are really not many good images, as long as there is a female protagonist in the court, these women will inevitably meet each other, and the image of the promiscuous court appears. What's more, the Western Jin Dynasty perished in the struggle of the ruling class, which is by no means something that a weak woman can control, Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu have all become victims of the struggle of the ruling class. Therefore, Empress Jia, who was in the whirlpool of class struggle, would inevitably become a victim of the struggle between the noble landlord class and the aristocratic landlord class.

Speaking of which, about some historical events of the Sixteen Kingdoms, I myself do not fully believe in the official history, because the historians who were born in the feudal dynasty often look at the problem of nomads with colored glasses, so the stories about the nomadic regimes recorded in the history books are often exaggerated, and may even be out of reality, and to this day, the literature about the Sixteen Kingdoms period is still very lacking. Even if the author of the second book refers to some of the documents of the time, but the nomads are still as ugly as possible, in this regard, we might as well learn about some ruins and tombs in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, these things can fully reflect the true appearance of the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

As for the ethnic problem in the Western Jin Dynasty, it mainly originated from the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty continuously sent troops to recruit the nomads who threatened the northern border of the Western Han Dynasty, and achieved major victories. As a result, the Xiongnu power that ruled the various tribes of the nomads declined sharply on the Mongolian Plateau, and was divided into two, and the Southern Xiongnu near the Central Plains were called the Southern Xiongnu, and the Northern Xiongnu were opposed.

After the rulers of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty continued to send troops to attack, the Northern Xiongnu chose to go to the West, after hundreds of years of migration, came to the European continent, and established a country that continues to this day, called Hungary, of course, the Northern Xiongnu have lived in Europe for nearly 2,000 years, and have already been integrated with the local Caucasians, so the current Hungarians can no longer see the characteristics of the yellow race. However, there are some cultural characteristics of the Hungarians that make it clear that they are not indigenous to Europe. For example, surnames, as we all know, people in China and the surrounding East Asian countries have surnames in the first place, and the first name comes last

While people in Western countries have their first names first, their surnames come last, while Hungary is in the center of Europe, and its inhabitants have their surnames first and surnames last.

With the decline of the Xiongnu power that dominated the Mongolian Plateau, the Xianbei tribe began to rise under the rule of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu not only faced the blow of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also faced the prosperity of other tribes within themselves, the best way is to move south and completely attach themselves to the powerful Central Plains Dynasty.

For the nomadic people living in the northwest, mainly the Qiang and Di people, but because the northwest is close to the Guanzhong region, the Qiang people have a great influence on the Central Plains Dynasty, the people in the Qiang tribe began to settle down during the Qin and Han dynasties, and gradually embarked on the road of sinicization, rapid development, to the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the population has reached one million, and the Western Jin Dynasty is self-contained, still looking at them with the eyes of barbarians, resulting in the ethnic problems in the Guanlong area are more acute.

With the continuous development of the productive forces, the nomads gradually moved towards a settled life, which is the inevitable result of history, but as the ruling class, the big families relied on their origins and fancy fame, and they despised the people of the dynasty who were born poor, not to mention the nomads who were accompanied by cattle and horses. This point of view is not exclusive to the family, since ancient times, the discrimination of the settled people against the nomads has always existed, and after the family as the ruling class appeared on the stage of history, this discrimination reached its peak, and the nomads yearn for a settled life, and constantly humbly accept the etiquette system of the Central Plains Dynasty, learn the Central Plains culture, and make themselves strong, so in this period, the contradictions between the nomads and the Central Plains Dynasty have become more and more intense.

However, as the ruling class, the big families are in a state of self-esteem because of the institutional guarantee, and they do not have a clear understanding of the general trend of the world, and in the end, in the face of complex national problems, they cannot find corresponding countermeasures, and they themselves have to face the return of the aristocratic landlord class within the dynasty, so the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms is also the inevitable result of history.

In ancient times, there was no concept of nationality, the real meaning of the concept of nationality was only produced in modern times, the ancient ancestors for their own cultural etiquette system different groups of people defined as Hu people, or barbarians and a series of contempt, there is no concept of the nation, they only know that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, the cultural etiquette system is the first in the world, but because of the idea of the world, for the existence of the Hu people, the ancient ancestors threw out the descendants of Yan and Huang and said, although the Hu people are extremely contemptuous, but also admit that we are still a family.
