The people on horseback have always been aggressive and aggressive, and although there are reasons for the necessity of material scarcity, it is also the wild call of the descendants of the wolves on the steppe. After several tribulations, he finally ascended to the throne of Xianbei Da Shan Yu in one fell swoop, and the first thing Murong Diao did was not to develop production for the people to rest, but to raise his war knife and take revenge! Avenge Murong Shegui and Yuwen Xianbei's revenge!

The hatred that is still being counted by the next generation must be huge, especially when Murong Diao is still a "generous" person! This feud has a monstrous hatred, unforgettable, and has been passed on to future generations. - Either he was robbed of his wife or his ancestral grave was dug up. If it doesn't hurt to the bone marrow, it will never be impressed.

I don't know the specific content of the hatred, in short, Murong Diao did not succeed in revenge! At that time, the Jin Empire, which was incomparably powerful compared to the Xianbei Murong Clan, did not approve Murong Diao's request.

Emperor Wu of Jin didn't agree, and neither did Murong Diao. This armed conflict, which was supposed to take place among the Xianbei people, changed the object of the struggle because Emperor Wu of Jin wanted to show the prestige of a great power. Murong Diao's hatred for Yuwen Xianbei was dramatically transferred to the Jin Empire, and the two sides fought.

I personally feel that compared with Yuwen Xianbei, who is also fast and scimitar, the fat Jin Empire not only has a lot of oil and water, but also is gentle and graceful, and the corporal is easy to bully! How can there be a reason to give up fat and gnaw bones! Originally, it was you who was fighting, so it's just a roundabout tactic to find an excuse, and there's really no need to take any blood feud seriously. Yuwen Xianbei is so poor that he can't even make an iron pot, how can there be anything to rob!

War is a way for nomads to recuperate, and it is also a means for Murong Diao's new promotion to establish prestige among the tribesmen. Being able to lead the tribesmen to grab a pot full of Shan Yu is a good Shan Yu, and nothing else needs to be discussed.

The battle was vulgar and old-fashioned, first Murong Diao went to the border of the Jin Kingdom to rob (Liaoxi County), killing and looting a lot! After that, the Jin Empire finally came to its senses and began to concentrate its forces on counterattacking, and Sima Yan transferred the Youzhou army to defeat Murong Diao in the Battle of Feiru. Unwilling to fail, Murong Diao began to raise troops to attack (loot Changli) again, and continued for years.

For the people of the Jin Empire, fighting a war is to kill people, and it will cost countless soldiers, horses, money and food! The imperial court will take away the only man in their family because of the war, and will also take the last grain of rice in their pot! In every war, the cost to the people is dearly.

However, it is different for the people of Murong Diao, who live by herding, and fighting is another mode of production for nomads, which is efficient and fast! Especially the war against the Central Dynasty of the South, which was not only easy to fight and suffered fewer losses, but also more to grab! After a battle, there are pots and pans and maids at home! Of course, the premise is to win! In fact, they rarely lose, and most of the time the men who go out make it a full load.

Murong Diao didn't just go to war, but also led everyone to engage in production and labor to create wealth!

In 285, during the ongoing war with the Jin Empire, Murong Diao led a large army to invade Buyeo (in present-day Jilin Province), which was a war without hatred, but it did not affect the outcome of the ruins of the Buyeo State. The reason is purely to see that you are a bully, so you hit twice. As a result of the two blows, King Buyeo committed suicide in defeat, and his son Yiluo fled to Wofu (present-day Hamhung, North Korea). Murong Diao leveled the capital of the Yu Kingdom and drove more than 10,000 people back.

This is a war without morality and justice, not even a declaration of war, because it is strong, so conquer, in a world of the jungle, the winner takes all!

However, due to the existence of Prince Yiluo, in May 286, Murong Diao once again raised an army to invade Liaodong. After capturing the king but running away from the prince, the war cannot end, otherwise it will be called letting the tiger return to the mountain and raising the tiger for trouble, there is an enemy on the side under the couch, and Murong Diao can't even sleep peacefully!

Yi Luo did not face the battle, but decisively fled to the Jin Empire and asked for help from the Jin Empire! A complete Buyeo country is not enough to resist Murong Diao's attack, not to mention the few remnants of the defeated army under Yiluo at this moment?

This is the time to demonstrate the justice and majesty of the Heavenly Empire, and He Gong, the captain of Dongyi of the Jin Empire, ordered Jia Shen to lead the army to escort Yiluo back to China, and Murong Diao's general Sun Ding led the cavalry to intercept it in the middle.

A premeditated encounter, with both sides knowing that the other is coming,...... On the way, one day. After the bloody battle, Jia Shen's army broke the Xianbei cavalry and beheaded Sun Ding. Iro recovered the remnants of the country.

It should be said that the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was a watershed for the Jin Empire, and in the days before that, the Jin Empire would fight whoever it wanted! Fierce as the Xianbei Iron Cavalry, he was still defeated in front of the powerful Jin army. However, after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Jin Empire was declining, and no matter which side of the force, it was possible to attack it, and it could be victorious!

At this time, the Jin Empire still had Sima Yan, although the emperor and ministers were becoming more and more corrupt in their lives, the overall strength of the country was still rising, and a partial division was enough to change the fate of a vassal state.

In the general environment at that time, peace was the mainstream, and such a war that had a huge impact on the Buyeo State could not attract the attention of the Jin Empire, and for Sima Yan, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, it was only a small feat in his heart that he "defeated Murong Diao and helped the Yu State to restore the country". Compared to the trouble caused to him by his stupid son Sima Zhen, the joy brought by this kind of credit was instantly drowned in infinite troubles.

The struggle between small and large countries has always been mired in the quagmire that successive military victories cannot compensate for the loss of national strength caused by war: the shortage of troops, the decline of the population, the increasing shortage of war supplies, etc. Although the big countries are facing heavier losses, such as greater casualties in the army and more shocking losses in weapons, grain and grass, the huge buffer space brought by their strong comprehensive national strength is enough to drag down a seemingly powerful small country in the fight for attrition, and then win the final victory.

This is almost an unavoidable whirlpool of the strong and the weak, after thousands of wanton rampage battles are invincible, and after overcoming all the attacks, I suddenly look back and find that I am actually a weak person who is doomed to failure.

Obviously, the situation faced by Murong Diao is even more severe than the above, originally he came out to engage in production and generate income, and he grabbed something and went back. However, he was defeated, especially in the battle with the regular army of the Jin State, not only did he not have the spoils to make up for the losses and increase his income, but he sacrificed a lot of soldiers and lost a lot of property, which was not the result that Murong Diao wanted.

In the tenth year of Taikang (289), Murong Diao sent envoys to surrender to the Jin Empire.

"'My ancestors have served China since their ancestors, and the Chinese are different, strong and weak, how can they compete with Jin? What is discord to harm our people? He sent an envoy to come. - Book of Jin

A battle may depend on the art of cunning; The collision between countries has always relied on absolute national strength. Before the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, no matter how powerful the minority tribes were, they were at most a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, and even if they were as strong as the 400,000 Mao Dun Shan Yu, they still could not shake the ruling foundation of the Central Plains Dynasty.

As a result, after robbing the Jin Empire countless times, the Murong family became the guest of honor of the Jin Empire - Emperor Wu of Jin awarded Murong Diao as the governor of Xianbei.

If you can beat it, you can grab it, and if you can't beat it, you can tie it. The Jin Empire once again became a strong backing for Murong Xianbei's tribe.

The increasingly powerful Murong Xianbei tribe brought protection to its people, but it brought fear to its enemies. Donghu (still existing), Yuwen Xianbei, and Duanbu Xianbei all felt the threat from Murong Xianbei, and in line with the ancient precept of "strike first to be strong, and then to suffer", each ministry replaced defense with offense, and often attacked and harassed Murong Xianbei's department.

Unexpectedly, Murong Diao tolerated the attacks of the Xianbei tribes in every way, and humbly courteously sought reconciliation, which was diametrically opposed to the previous style of drawing a sword against the Jin Empire without saying a word, although the Jin Empire was stronger than the entire Xianbei.

What was the reason for Murong Diao to make such a choice?

What's even more strange is that Murong Diao got an excellent result: Duan Jie, the chief of Duan Xianbei, married his daughter to Murong Diao.

I think the most important thing should be his ambition and the wisdom that comes from it, a person who only knows how to attack and kill, even if he is like Lu Bu who is brave enough to champion the three armies, what can he do? The sword brings nothing but killing and fear, and endless hatred.

Only those who convince others with virtue can return to their hearts. Of course, these must be based on the premise of being able to fight, for example, Emperor Wu of Jin beat Murong Diao, and Murong Diao beat the Xianbei Duan clan. There is also the need for all people to have a foundation, at least ideological identity, which is all possessed by all the Xianbei departments that launched an attack on Murong Xianbei.

The Jin Empire, not possessed!

It should be said that in the historical development process of Murong Xianbei, Murong Xianbei's contribution is outstanding, and under his leadership, the Murong Xianbei Department completed the transformation from the primitive operation mode of nomadism to the settled agricultural life.

In the fourth year of Yuankang (294), Murong Diao led his troops to move to Thorn City (now west of Yixian County, Liaoning), which is known as the "ruins of Zhuān Xū".

The capital of the former Yan Empire has changed a lot, and with the expansion and development of its power, there will be Dragon City, Jicheng City, and Yecheng in the future. However, in the hearts of the Xianbei Murong Ministry, Thorn City has witnessed the vicissitudes of blood and tears of this Fengyun family, and only here is where their eternal foundation lies. In the years that this royal capital spanned nearly half a century, a weak nomadic tribe rose proudly, and the three "bloody battles of the Great Thorn City" became the eternal pride of the Murong tribe. In particular, the scale, intensity, and historical significance of the latter two wars were not under the well-known Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Huangshui, which changed the power structure of the entire Northeast Asia region at that time and had a decisive impact on the future change of the Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, Thorn City is the immortal "Spiritual King City" in the hearts of Murong Xianbei people, and no matter where he goes, Murong Xianbei people have a lingering "Thorn City Complex" in their hearts.

Thorn City is a spiritual symbol of the tenacious struggle of the Xianbei Murong Department, and a spiritual symbol of the Xianbei Murong Department's victory.

That's all for later. After moving the capital to Thorn City, Murong Diao began to teach the people to engage in agricultural production and began a settled agricultural life. At the same time, learning the legal system of the Jin Dynasty and gradually accepting Han culture effectively promoted the process of Sinicization and feudalization of Murong Xianbei.

In China in the 20th century, feudalism represented backwardness and ignorance, and was the shackles that imprisoned China's civilization for 2,000 years. However, in the third century AD, for the minority tribes who stayed in the primitive society and slave society, the feudal system represented the requirements for the development of advanced productive forces, represented the direction of progress of advanced culture, and also conformed to the most fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people.

An epoch-making transformation is taking place in the Xianbei Murong Ministry, under the advocacy of Murong Diao.

Murong Diao's policy was very effective, eight years after moving to the Great Thorn City, that is, in 302, floods occurred in Yan, Henan, Xu, and Hebei prefectures, and Youzhou was also affected. It can be seen that the Murong Department has taken agriculture as an important form of production, and has been able to open a warehouse to help the victims! In order to reward Murong Diao, Emperor Sima of Jin Hui gave him a special tribute.

It was also in that year that Bingzhou was also affected by the disaster, and there was a man named Shile, because he did not eat Murong Diao's disaster relief food, he broke away from the identity of a tenant, became a homeless person, and became a beggar, because of his tall nose, deep eyes and beard, he was also caught and sold as a slave .......

Schle's story tells us that if there is a disaster and there is no food, even slaves will rise up and resist, and they will be very resolute and thorough!

Murong Diao's measures to govern the country are very orderly, strict with laws and disciplines, and humbly recruit talents. In that era when people in troubled times were not as good as Taiping dogs, Murong Xianbei became a place for the people of the Central Plains to seek peace and save their lives. The exiled scholars dragged their families and families to join them (Ben also had nowhere to go).

Overseas Chinese counties were set up to resettle the victims in various places in a unified manner, and at the same time, talents from all over the country were selected from among the displaced people and entrusted with important tasks. A school was set up, and the prince Murong Hao led the children of the nobles to apprentice and receive employment. In order to play a pioneering role, Murong Diao even came to the school to listen to the class, so, "The voice of recitation is flourishing, and the wind of courtesy is flourishing!" ”

The sinicization of Xianbei is not a sudden flash of inspiration in the tribal group, and its process comes from the penetration of little by little from the beginning, a good-looking step, and a sentence has become a classic surname; It originates from the heartfelt yearning of the people on horseback for the advanced culture of the Han nation.

The only way for a progressive nation to become strong is to become strong.
