About Chapter 60 Story Introduction: Former Qin Emperor Fu Deng and Later Qin Emperor Yao Chang have been fighting for the Guanzhong region for ten years, but Fu Deng has been defeated repeatedly, and his prestige has been swept away, so that his subordinate Dou Chong is self-reliant, in vain attempt to replace him, under the advance of Fu Deng's army, Dou Chong had to ask Yao Chang for help, but Yao Chang was terminally ill at this time, so he had to send his prince Yao Xing to lead his troops to the rescue, Yao Xing used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, attacking Fu Deng's lair to relieve Dou Chong's siege, forcing Fu Deng to retreat, soon after, Yao Chang died of illness, Yao Xing succeeded to the throne, Seeing this opportunity, Fu Deng poured the country's troops to recruit Yao Xing, and then the Qin rebellion was reborn, the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing first led a strange army to quell the rebellion, and attacked Fu Deng with his subordinates, and cut off the water source of Fu Deng's army, Fu Deng was defeated, fled into Mamao Mountain, and was killed by Yao Xing's sergeant, since then the Qin regime has completely controlled the Guanzhong region, Fu Deng's son Fu Chong fled to the Huangzhong region to inherit the former Qin throne, however, the Western Qin lord begged to see that the Later Qin regime has become bigger, so he sent troops to kill Fu Chong, and his head was transmitted to Chang'an, The pre-Qin Empire, which had once unified the northern regions, came to an end.

In this story, the former Qin Empire and the Later Qin regime fought for ten years over the dominance of the Guanzhong region, and finally the Later Qin regime of the Qiang people completely defeated the former Qin regime and inherited the mantle of the orthodox power of the Qiang ethnic group, and the Later Qin Empire began to lead the Qiang ethnic group on the road of basically completing sinicization. With the fall of the former Qin Empire, the period of continued integration of ethnic groups in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms has come to an end, and the Xiongnu ethnic groups, Qiangdi ethnic groups and Xianbei ethnic groups are about to enter the period of basic completion of ethnic integration, and the second part of our book is over. We take this opportunity to revisit the entire process of the continuation of the period of national integration during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

The second stage of the bloody period of this ethnic integration is the beginning of the former Qin Emperor Fu Sheng's tyrannical killing, and was usurped by Fu Jian's resistance, during this period, the main body of the Xiongnu ethnic group has begun to die out, the Qiang ethnic group established the former Qin Empire in the Guanzhong region, and the Xianbei Murong Department established the former Yan Empire in the Kanto region, these two ethnic groups fought around the control of the Central Plains, and the former Qin Empire, which reused the children of the Han Sect, under the leadership of Fu Jian, successfully defeated the former Yan Empire and controlled the Central Plains. And the former Qin Empire Emperor Fu Jian took the power of victory, successively defeated the former Liang regime and the Dai regime, and completed the unification of the northern region, but in the battle of Weishui with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the vitality of the former Qin Empire was greatly damaged, and the vast territory it built up also collapsed, and the Murong nobles of the Xianbei ethnic group successfully restored the country, and re-established the Later Yan Empire in the Kwantung region, and the Qiang ethnic group established the Later Qin regime established by the Qiang nobles in the internal struggle to rule the Guanzhong region, but, Through the control and governance of the northern region of the former Qin Empire, the Sinicization process of the Xianbei Murong and Qiang ethnic groups at this time has entered the stage of basically completing the national integration, and the people of these two ethnic groups should have not much different from the Han ancestors, so the Later Qin Empire and the Later Yan Empire can no longer compete with other tribes of the nomadic people militarily, and these two regimes are about to disappear in the period of the basic completion of the integration of ethnic groups during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, which is what we are about to talk about in the third part.

In fact, the completion of the control of the Guandong region by the Later Yan Empire established by the Xianbei Murong Department and the completion of the control of the Guanzhong region by the Later Qin Empire after the Later Qin Empire conquered the Qianqin Empire were basically completed in the same period, and the occupation of these two regions by the Former Yan Empire and the Former Qin Empire was also similar in time, which shows that the time period of sinicization of the Qiangqi ethnic group and the Xianbei Murong Department should coincide. It's just that the Qiang ethnic group, which has a deeper foundation in sinicization, has a more far-reaching influence on Chinese culture during this period of time than the Xianbei Murong tribe that entered the Central Plains from the Liao River Valley, and its establishment achievements are also more than that of the Xianbei Murong tribe. Therefore, for the historical division of this period, we still take the rise and fall of the former Qin Empire as the benchmark.

At the end of this period, that is, after the collapse of the former Qin Empire, the Western Qin regime, the Later Liang regime and the Northern Wei regime that appeared around the Central Plains region did not pose much threat and influence on the Qiangdi ethnic groups and the Xianbei Murong tribe in the Central Plains at this stage, but in the third stage of ethnic integration during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, that is, the integration period was basically completed, and these regimes and the regimes established by other nomadic peoples will fulfill their own historical missions and help their main tribes basically complete the sinicization. And the Tuoba tribe of the more powerful Xianbei tribe began to try their best to enter the Central Plains, and the once powerful Former Qin Empire was almost wiped out at the same time.

Today's people know a little bit of the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and they all feel why the emperor Fu Jian, who led the former Qin Empire to unify the north, couldn't kill all the nobles of the Xianbei Murong Tribe, and why he had to launch a unified war, and finally suffered death and national annihilation. It is not unworthy of advocating the viewpoint that reading history is reading people's hearts, but we still have to look at the rise and fall of a country from the perspective of the development of the entire historical context.

The former Qin Empire only conformed to the development of the historical trend of national integration and the Shu landlord class becoming the ruling class, so in the sequence of the Sixteen Kingdoms, only the Former Qin Empire completely unified the northern region, but the demise of the Former Qin Empire was an inevitable trend of the eventual demise of its main ethnic group. Zhang Bin, Wang Meng and others can strategize and win thousands of miles, but they cannot stop the torrent of national integration to devour their country, their behavior can be respected by future generations, mainly because they have conformed to the development of the historical trend through their own personal ability, and Fu Jian's unification of the northern region is also the case, and the battle of Weishui is only a special beginning of the fall of the former Qin Empire. I think that even if Fu Jian did not launch the Battle of Weishui, the Former Qin Empire would never have existed for a long time, so it is absolutely impossible to change the trend of the entire historical trend with the level of individual ability. The great integration of nationalities is the driving force for the progress of the historical trend of the entire world, and it is absolutely impossible for any change to be made because of the level of individual ability. This is also the conclusion of the proposition that many people discuss about whether the times create heroes, or heroes create the times.

In short, in the current society, Hitler was really resurrected with modern technology, and it was impossible for him to start a world war again. Because the entire social environment and people's concepts have undergone radical changes, it is also impossible to resurrect historical figures to influence the pattern of modern society.

Let's take a look at the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian's heavy use of the Han strategist Wang Meng to achieve absolute control over the northern region, and led the northern nomads to complete the majority of the period of ethnic integration during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, so what Fu Jian did was in line with the development of the historical trend, but with the deepening of ethnic integration, all the regimes established by these nomads must go to extinction, and the battle of Weishui became the most ideal cause for the disintegration of the former Qin Empire, and, Because the various tribes of the nomads in the northern region have experienced the unification of the northern region, many small tribes of the nomads have also tasted the sweetness of sinicization, and when the Qin Empire is in decline, these small tribes have also begun to build their own country and complete the road of sinicization. In any case, Fu Jian is a tragic hero in the context of the great national integration during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and he is definitely not a person with the kindness of a woman and political short-sightedness. It is precisely because of Fu Jian's eloquence and strategy that the former Qin Empire became the protagonist of the continuous integration period of ethnic integration during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and it was under the leadership of the former Qin Empire that the various tribes of the northern nomads entered the basic completion period of ethnic integration.

We can see from the three periods of national integration during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the time of existence of each period is basically about 50 years, and even the final completion of the integration period of the Northern Dynasties is basically about 50 years, because the life span of the ancients at that time was relatively short, it is normal to get married and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and the time of about 50 years is exactly the time required to produce three generations at that time. And the tribe of each nomadic tribe is composed of many families, and the time of the most important three stages of the bloody period of ethnic integration is about 50 years, which is by no means purely coincidental, in fact, according to our point of view today, in the family of ethnic minorities, the national characteristics of the grandfather are far greater than the national characteristics of the grandson, and the family of the nomads in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms should also be like this, but the time of the three generations of the ancients is much shorter than ours. Therefore, during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, there was a phased change in the great integration of ethnic groups every 50 years.

With the death of Mamaoshan Fudeng, the former Qin Empire, which is known to the majority of history lovers, and the regime established by the Di people has completely become a thing of the past, and the national integration of the Sixteen Kingdoms period has also gone through about a hundred years, and then there are fifty years, and the national integration of the Sixteen Kingdoms period has also passed the basic completion of the integration period into the final completion of the integration period, and in the basic completion of the integration period, the leading role in the northern land is the Northern Wei Dynasty established by the Xianbei Tuoba Department. So how did the Northern Wei Dynasty lead the nomads in the northern region to basically complete the sinicization, we will talk about it in detail in the last part, and the second part will end here.
