Fu Jian is still the same Fu Jian, but the former Qin is no longer the former Qin. It can be said that the defeat of the Battle of Weishui directly destroyed the achievements of Fu Jian and Wang Meng's reforms for many years, and also made all the hidden dangers that the ministers who opposed the Southern Expedition in the former Qin were worried about become real problems.

In the first month of 384, Murong Chui took the opportunity of quelling the Ding Ling rebellion, broke away from Fu Jian, and gathered the old Xianbei department with the slogan of reviving the Yan State, and called the king of Yan in Xingyang, known as Houyan in history, and then set the capital in Zhongshan. A generation of war gods, after ups and downs, finally grabbed the tail of Wuhu Chaohua and started an era of their own.

In March 384, Murong Jun's son Murong Hong also raised troops in the eastern part of the country with the slogan of reviving the Yan State and established Western Yan, and Murong Chong responded with troops. Due to the small scope of influence and weak strength of Western Yan, historians do not count it within the scope of the Sixteen Kingdoms, but its existence is closely related to the fall of the former Qin, so it is recorded here.

In the same year, Yao Chang, a Qiang nobleman, was rebuked by Fu Jian for his defeat in suppressing Murong Hong's rebellion, and was also forced to rebel, and was called the Great General, Da Dan Yu, and King of Wannian Qin in the Weibei region, and established the Later Qin regime.

The old chaos has not been settled, and the new chaos has risen again, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all loyal, but Fu Jian no one dares to send out to lead an army alone, so he has to personally lead the army to quell the rebellion. In the early days of the war, the war progressed smoothly, and the former Qin army once cut off the water source of Yao Chang's army, causing many soldiers to die of thirst and fear. However, at the critical moment, it rained heavily in Yao Chang's army, and the water accumulated three feet, and the heavy rain dropped sharply when he left his military camp, and the water was not full. At that time, Fu Jian was eating, and after learning the news, he had no intention of eating, and looked up to the sky and roared: "The sky has no heart, why did you descend to the thief camp!" ”

I don't know if Cang Tian has a heart, but if people are unlucky, drinking cold water will stuff their teeth, Fu Jian actually dares to eat!

The situation between the two sides reversed, Yao Chang's army was greatly invigorated, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and since then it has been out of control, but Fu Jian has lost his troops and struggled to support.

At the time of the fierce battle between the two armies, Murong Chong, who had taken over Xiyan, marched to the outside of Chang'an City, annihilated tens of thousands of Qin troops, and occupied Afang City. Fu Jian, who had been unfavorable for a long time, could only withdraw his troops and return to Chang'an, but he was trapped in a lonely city and faced an increasingly erosive situation.

The relationship between Murong Chong and Fu Jian is ambiguous and delicate, with both the hatred of losing the country and being captured, and the humiliation of pillowing the crotch (perhaps grace), the details of which cannot be described. In short, Murong Chong was very worried about Fu Jian, and after controlling Xiyan, he immediately led his troops to attack; Fu Jian also missed its warmth and coldness, and when he was in the city, he thought of the bitter cold of the army, and gave Murong Chong a brocade robe to show that the old love was hard to give up, and he was very worried.

When the soldiers were already in the city, Fu Jian actually hoped to win a respite by contacting personal feelings, which was an unrealistic idea, and it also exposed Fu Jian's inner purity, naivety and innocence. In fact, Murong Chong's feelings for Fu Jian directly led to his arson and murder after conquering Chang'an, and washed Chang'an City in blood.

"A lonely family takes the world as its responsibility, how can you look at this robe Xiaohui. If you come to surrender, our Murong family will not treat you worse than you used to treat our family. "This is Murong Chong's reply to Fu Jian after receiving the brocade robe, taking the world as his responsibility!

Fu Jian was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and shouted: "I regret not using the words of Wang Jingluo and Yang Pinggong (Fu Rong) to make Bai Lu (Xianbei) dare to be rampant like this!" However, at this moment, apart from fury and yelling, Fu Jian had no way to clean up the situation.

Moreover, after learning that Murong Chong led the army to attack, the Xianbei people in Chang'an City also began to move, and Murong Wei, the former king of the Yan Dynasty who was deeply treated by Fu Jian, was actively contacting the old department of the remnants and planning to assassinate Fu Jian. It wasn't until the news leaked that Fu Jian exterminated the Murong family and Xianbei men, women and children in Chang'an City.

At that time, Fu Jian must have been full of remorse!

It turns out that no amount of favor can make up for the hatred brought about by the destruction of the country and the family.

Since then, China's history has made a very bad start: if the exterminators of the country cannot bear to kill the imperial family of the dead country, the exhortators often take Fu Jian's "Rouren Invitation to the Name" as an example, resulting in the few preservators of the dead royal family in future generations! 、

If the country dies, the nation will be destroyed!

The siege was fought very hard, Murong Chong personally led the crowd to the city, Fu Jian was also covered in armor, personally supervising the battle, and moreover, flying arrows were all over his body, and blood flowed all over his body. In the past few months, smoke and dust have risen in the Guanzhong area, and countless people have been killed and injured.

After a long siege, Chang'an City began to run out of food, and even a tragedy of cannibalism. Fu Jian poured his family money into a banquet to entertain the ministers, there was not much to eat, even the generals who fought on the front line could not share a few pieces of meat, everyone stuffed the meat into their mouths, did not dare to chew, and was reluctant to swallow it, and when they returned home, they "spit out meat to feed their wives", you can imagine the miserable and desolate situation of Fu Jian at that time.

Chang'an City could not be defended, Fu Jian, who was sick and rushed to the hospital, listened to the proverb that "the emperor will have a long time out of the five generals", left the prince Fu Hong to guard the city, and went out of Chang'an to Wujiang Mountain (now northwest of Qishan, Shaanxi). Murong Chong immediately broke through Chang'an, plundered the army, and the victims were incalculable. The crown prince Fu Hong, who was in charge of staying behind, fled to Wudu (west of present-day Chengxian County, Gansu), and later defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Fu Jian, who fled to Wujiang Mountain, did not get the "long" he wanted, and not long after, Yao Chang sent troops to besiege Wujiang Mountain and capture him alive.

After his request for the jade seal and his request for Chan concession were denied, in August 385 AD, Yao Chang killed Fu Jian in a Buddhist temple in Xinping (present-day Binxian County, Shaanxi). Before he died, in order to avoid the humiliation of his two daughters who fled together, Fu Jian killed them with his own hands. The youngest son Fu Shu and his favorite concubine Mrs. Zhang committed suicide and martyrdom.

In order to cover up the crime of killing the king, after killing Fu Jian, Yao Chang called Fu Jian a "strong king"; In the same year, Fu Jianshu's eldest son Fu Pi ascended the throne, and Fu Jian was named "Emperor Xuanzhao", and the temple was called "Shizu"; After Lü Guang, who was on an expedition to the Western Regions, got the news, he was named "Emperor Wenzhao".

Two years after killing Fu Jian, Yao Chang, who had been defeated repeatedly, finally won a battle in the war with the former Qin Fudeng. In December 387 AD, the Later Qin general Yao Fangcheng captured Xu Song, the assassin of Yongzhou in the former Qin. I wanted to persuade him to surrender, but he was scolded by Xu Song. Yao Fangcheng was annoyed and angry, beheaded Xu Song in three times, and buried all the captured Qin soldiers alive, and rewarded his wife and daughter to his own soldiers. After Yao Chang learned the news, he dug up Fu Jian, who had been dead for more than two years, from the grave, whipped countless corpses, and then stripped his clothes, wrapped them in thorns, and dug a pit to bury him.

Before the great Qin, its prosperity was also vigorous, and the whip was broken, and the world was swallowed; It also died quickly, and after the defeat of a war, the huge empire fell from the peak to the trough in an instant, falling apart, and never recovering. should have been a king for eternity, but he fell into a situation where he couldn't even protect his wife and children, and after his death, he was even whipped and tortured, how miserable and tragic!

Looking back on the entire period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the former Qin Empire should be regarded as the most incorruptible, the most energetic, and the most popular country, and during the siege of Chang'an, the people of the whole city were willing to live and die with Fu Jian.

The main problem lies with Fu Jian himself.

First of all, the former Qin Empire was already built on mud and sand by Fu Jian at the beginning of its founding.

Every powerful figure in Chinese history has a backbone force that looks to the head of the horse, and Fu Jian lacks this kind of thing. In order to support Wang Meng, he destroyed the old and absolutely loyal backbone of the Di tribe, but failed to cultivate a new backbone force that was absolutely loyal to him. So much so that after the Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian didn't know what he should do next, let alone who to turn to. He has the courage to break the old world, but he has no ability to sustain the new world.

The second is ideological paranoia, we should note that Fu Jian will go all out no matter what he does, leaving no way back, and he will fully support Wang Meng if he supports him; Strike at the nobles and strike hard; Treat his subordinates to the fullest, and be merciful to the end; The decision to march south was to go all out in spite of opposition. This has led to the phenomenon that his subordinates take the favor given by Fu Jian for granted, and they will not be grateful for his grace, and once Fu Jian is defeated and loses power, they will all rebel, but the defeated Fu Jian has no way to retreat.

In fact, in addition to the Fu clan that was hit hard, he was still loyal and sent troops to rescue, but few people were loyal to him (after the Battle of Weishui, Zhang Hao, Lu Guang, Murong Chui, Yao Chang, etc. were all independent successively, and none of the talents collected by Fu Jian were "loyal" for him), and later trapped in Chang'an, Fu Jian did not wait for reinforcements after all, only those civilians who were usually grateful for Fu Jian's kindness were willing to die for him. In response to the old saying, "Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are all a reader." This cannot but be said to be a great tragedy for Fu Jian, a great man of a generation.

Third, Fu Jian has a benevolent heart and no defensive thoughts.

Fu Jian was a good monarch, and it was precisely because of his benevolent government that he ended the tyrannical rule of his predecessor Emperor Fu Sheng, that he saved the people from fire and water, developed the economy, and won the hearts of the people; It was precisely because of his thirst for talent that he recruited a large number of talents, and Qianqin was able to become strong.

However, Fu is strong and harmless to people, but it is also defenseless.

"I see how charming Qingshan is, and I think Qingshan looks at me the same." In Fu Jian's eyes, as long as I treat others with kindness, sincerity, and heart, others will treat me like this. As everyone knows, this is just their own wishful thinking, the righteous gentleman may be grateful to you, but the despicable villain is a mother, very worldly and utilitarian, and will not talk to you. If you have a use value, if you are good to him, you will just do it, if you lose power and will not bring him any more benefits, or if you have only done nine out of ten things, and one thing does not meet his requirements, he will turn his face and deny people, revealing the face of a white-eyed wolf.

It is a pity that Fu Jian only knows how to give a heart of love, hold out a piece of kindness, give up the necessary vigilance, and do not defend anyone. It must be known that "people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts", Wang Meng warned when he was dying: "Xianbei (Murong family), Qiang Lu (Yao's family), my enemy is a big trouble, and it should be gradually eliminated so that the society can be harmed." Fu Jian always disagreed, after all, he ate the bitter fruit, and hated for eternity, which made people sigh.

When Fu Jian died, Yao Chang's subordinates "mourned for the Later Qin soldiers." "The charm of great men is not diluted by ethnic contradictions or hatred between nations, and Fu Jian is probably the only monarch in Chinese history who can make all enemies cry even if he is reduced to the point of rebellion and separation.

Soon after Fu Pi ascended the throne, he fled due to civil strife, but was intercepted and killed by the generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the way. After that, Fu Jian's distant clan Sun Fu Deng ascended the throne as emperor, shouldered the great edict of the former Qin restoration, and Yao Chang carried out a long and wonderful "war between the fox and the hedgehog" until he died and the country was destroyed.
