About Chapter 28 Synopsis: Fu Hong, the tribal leader of the Di people, saw that Ran Min had torn apart the Central Plains, and the Ran Wei regime he had established was dying. He led his subordinates to defeat Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people who also wanted to take the opportunity to establish a country, established the former Qin regime, and sought an opportunity to occupy the Central Plains, but was poisoned by Ran Min's general Ma Qiu. His son Fu Jian killed Ma Qiu, abided by Fu Hong's last words, and led his troops back to Guanzhong.

In this story, the Di people, who have a deep degree of sinicization, opened the road to independent statehood. The Qiang people, who also have a deep degree of sinicization, have not been able to compete with the Di people, so they have to follow the leader Yao Yizhong to send people under the fence and continue to wait for the opportunity. At this time, although the Ran Wei regime that occupied the Central Plains region eliminated the remnants of the Later Zhao forces, it was no longer able to deal with the Former Yan regime that was sharpening its sword. When Fu Hong, the leader of the Di people, was dying, he also saw the strength of the former Yan regime created by the Xianbei Murong Ministry. told his son Fu Jian to conform to the will of the people and seize Guanzhong. Because the Ran Wei regime needed a lot of manpower and material resources to resist the remnants of the Later Zhao Dynasty Shi Yuan entrenched in the Hebei region and the former Yan regime established by the Xianbei Murong tribe that arose in the northeast region, and constantly transferred Guanzhong troops to support the Hebei front, so the Guanzhong region was empty, and the Di people returned to their homeland The plot was strong, Fu Jian led his troops to complete the control of the Guanzhong region without much effort.

Ma Qiu, who poisoned Fu Hong, is recorded in the history books as a Hu person, and must be the general of the nomadic people, but whether it is the ethnic group in the Xiongnu Xianbei and Qiang, the language is unknown, it can be seen that people had no national concept at that time, and these groups of nomads should be relatively similar in living habits and customs, so it is difficult for our Han ancestors to distinguish them, but at that time, Xianbei had not yet gone south, and the Qiang ethnic group had a deep degree of sinicization, and the historical records recorded that Ma Qiu followed Shi Hu to the south and the north in the post-Zhao Liguo period, So I think Ma Qiu should belong to the Xiongnu or the Qian, because the power of these two ethnic groups is very weak at this time, so even if Ma Qiu poisons Fu Hong, it is difficult to make a big difference in the Di tribe.

For the newly established former Qin regime, it was able to occupy the Guanzhong region, which had a large population of Han ancestors. I think the degree of sinicization of the Di people at this time has been very high. Moreover, the Di people who established the former Qin regime were not the same tribe as the Di people who established the Cheng Han regime. The Di people who established the Cheng Han regime belonged to the Bayi tribe, and the Di people who established the former Qin regime belonged to the Luoyang Di tribe, but they all belonged to the same clan in terms of living habits and customs, and the earliest birthplace should also be in the same area, similar to the Xianbei tribe we talked about before. With the continuous migration and nomadism, various tribes appeared in the Di people very early. Because Luoyangdi lived in the Guanzhong area very early, the degree of sinicization must be higher than that of the Bayi ethnic group. Therefore, it is reasonable to be able to occupy the Guanzhong area and be recognized by the ancestors of the Han people.

You know, the Guanzhong region is the earliest active area of our Han ancestors, even today, the number of ancient living relics in Shaanxi Province in the Guanzhong region are among the best provinces in our country, to the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Han ancestors in the Guanzhong area have lived for more than thousands of years, the Di people can occupy this place and build a country and call the emperor, it is enough to show that the Di people are basically no different from the Han ancestors. It was fundamentally different from the former Yan regime established by the Xianbei Murong tribe at about the same time as being able to occupy the Kanto region.

Because the Di people live in a very close area to the ancestors of the Han nationality, the Di people and the ancestors of the Han nationality should be culturally blended with each other and identify with each other, and after thousands of years of miscellaneous, the contradictions between the Di people and our Han ancestors should not be prominent, and the cultural differences are not obvious, and it is not an exaggeration to count these two ethnic groups as a family. Even if the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains and tried their best to learn the culture of our Central Plains, they were too short to get the recognition and support of our Han ancestors.

Therefore, the two regimes of the former Qin and the former Yan carried out feudal rule in areas where the Han ancestors had a large number of people, and the nature of the two regimes was clear at a glance. Although the Kanto region was much richer than the Guanzhong region, the former Yan, which was not recognized by the Han ancestors, could only be defeated by the Former Qin regime, which was supported by the Han ancestors.

However, although the Di people have a very high degree of sinicization, they are still a foreign race after all, and they will inevitably perish under the trend of ethnic integration. However, I believe that the former Qin Empire, which was founded by the Di people, also made outstanding contributions to the ancient feudal society of our country.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms in which the former Qin Empire was located, the entire ancient Chinese society had a common support and support for the clans, and the landlord class composed of the clans was the preferred ruling class of the feudal dynasty at that time. However, because of the hypocrisy and selfishness of the great clans, it led to the civil strife and short-lived life of these feudal dynasties or kingdoms, as was the case with the Western Jin Dynasty and the Later Zhao Empire.

Because the family values the fame and experience, the Di people with a high degree of sinicization are born in the nomadic people who are in the company of cattle and sheep, and can only belong to the Hanmen Shu people, so the Di people who seized power learned the lessons of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Later Zhao Empire, and began to pay attention to the role of the Hanmen Shu people in the ruling class. Especially after Fu Jian's successful usurpation, Wang Meng, who was born in the Hanmen Shu clan, was reused to open a school to give the children of the Hanmen Shu clan a chance to learn. Even Fu Jian, as the emperor, personally visited the school, personally inquired and visited the students' academic situation, selected the students with excellent character and learning as officials of the state, and let the children of the Hanmen Shu clan enter the ruling class of the country. I think this should be a great attempt by the Shu landlord class to enter the feudal ruling class during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Although Fu Jian and Wang Meng's measures did not form a system, during the period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms, when the family monopolized the ruling class of the feudal dynasty, it can be said that such political behavior can be said to be a groundbreaking event.

During the reign of Fu Jian in the former Qin Empire, the children of the Hanmen Shu clan passed the selection of their studies and entered the ruling class, and they were all grateful to the rulers of the former Qin Empire, and they must do everything they could to ensure the prosperity of the country. However, this is only one attempt by the Hanmen Shu to enter the ruling class. During this period, the family was also in a strong period, so the emerging Shu landlord class was too young to fight against the Shi landlord class that had reached its peak, so in the Battle of Weishui, the former Qin Emperor representing the Shu landlord class was defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty representing the Shi landlord class.

The former Qin Empire, like the Later Zhao Empire and the Ran Min Empire that occupied the Central Plains, took over various contradictions in the Central Plains after it unified the north, and the power of the original Hanmen Shu clan in its domestic ruling class was also weakened by the royal clan and the family after the death of Prime Minister Wang Meng. The landlords of the Shu tribe who had just been born died actively, and then the regimes established by the various tribes of the nomadic people, none of them could have a deep understanding of the Hanmen Shu people, so each regime existed for a short time, and the ruling territory was even more limited, although the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north again, but the Northern Wei Dynasty only conformed to the historical trend of ethnic integration, and went brilliant in the Sinicization reform, but its ruling class was still dominated by the scholar landlord class, and in the more than 100 years of the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Its internal struggle was still very fierce, resulting in the fact that there were not many emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty who had a good death.

It is possible to select the children of the Hanmen Shu clan into the ruling class on a large scale. The former Qin Emperor Fu Jian's approach must be said to be the first in the world, although he eventually failed and died, I also think that Fu Jian is really the first emperor of the ages. In fact, Fu Jian is only the fourth ruler of the former Qin Empire, among the first three emperors of Fu Jian, although Fu Hong and Fu Jian can have a certain ability to lead the Di tribe on the road of independent statehood, but compared with their descendants Fu Jian, the ability of these two people is not so prominent, so among the emperors of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Fu Jian can also be regarded as a legacy for thousands of years.

Although it is much dimmer than Fu Jian's light, but the rulers of the early Qin Empire, Fu Hong Fujian and his son, also worked hard for the Di people to be able to establish a country independently, and even paid the price of their lives.

For example, the popular prophecy of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao, no matter who Tu Gao was, but the Han Dynasty must be replaced in terms of public opinion, and public opinion wants you to die, how can there be no reason not to die. The same period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the world was in turmoil, no matter who Cao Fu was, the public opinion had already expected that there would be a person who raised troops to claim the king, about the prophecy, the history is endless, I think these prophecies are the people at that time have actually seen through the dim-witted ruling class, the political predictions made, to the Sui and Tang dynasties, on the contrary, the prevalence of prophecies appeared less, and there were fewer famous prophecies, I guess this is also related to the fact that in feudal society, the Shu landlord class can become the ruling class, because in feudal society, The Hanmen Shu people are relatively able to represent the fundamental interests of the people, and with the dedicated assistance of the Hanmen Shu people, the social situation of the feudal dynasty is also relatively stable, so there are very few prophecies that are gradually very popular after the Song Dynasty.

Regarding the generation of prophecies, many people think that often troubled times are the soil for prophecies, in fact, many famous prophecies did not arise in troubled times, such as the Qin Dynasty died Qin Hu, the first emperor died and divided, and the heroine Chang in the early Tang Dynasty, etc., the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms naturally gritted their teeth, the Tang Dynasty completely ended the control of the family over the government, and also made the scholar group hate it, so I think the real soil for the breeding of prophecies should be the various contradictions in the feudal society, Then the troubled times when contradictions broke out became the best period for prophecy to rise.
