Chapter 101 [Legend]
However, you don't know, the history books tell us that although Emperor Yan's tribe collapsed, the descendants of the Shennong clan were not killed, and one of them left the yellow earth and migrated to the northern prairie, and built a shack to live in a place full of wind, yellow sand, and green grass. The farm tools were thrown away, the horse whips were picked up, and the descendants of the Shennong clan re-evolved into a nomadic tribe of herding horses and sheep.
Finding a good ancestor is the favorite of the emperors of the past dynasties, for example, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that he was a descendant of the Taishang Laojun Li Er, and the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had to say that he was the filial son and grandson of Zhu Xi, and a celebrity ancestor always made us feel glorious and proud. In fact, the division of ethnic groups by blood often confuses us, for example, if the descendants of Han people married Hui people are Han or Hui?
Judging from the process of nation formation, when each nation is strong, it has a large number of other tribes that are not related by blood, and even if there are aliens who have become slaves as conquered inside, which nation are they? Therefore, it makes sense for the masters to divide the nation according to cultural customs.
If according to this standard, even if they are really descendants of the Shennong clan, they are used to living a life of living by grass, and their customs and habits are getting farther and farther away from the Chinese civilization in the Central Plains, and they are becoming more and more like people of different races, we might as well call them the Shennong clan of the barbarians.
The Shennong clan of the barbarian clan disappeared from the classics of the Central Plains, and it was not until the tribe produced a warrior Ge Wusu that the Shennong clan of the barbarian clan developed again. Ge Wusu inherited the excellent bloodline of his ancestors, and was known for his bravery and wisdom, and he could fight and calculate people, and it was difficult for such a person not to stand out in the grassland where the law of the jungle was followed.
Ge Wusu has become the grassland eagle in the hearts of the grassland people who live in pursuit of water and grass. Historical materialists say that the masses of the people have created history, but it is pure nonsense, without Napoleon there would have been the First French Empire? Would there have been WWII without Hitler? Every play has a protagonist, and they are the masters of the play, and Ge Wusu is destined to become the creator of the history of the grassland.
A Xianbei tribe took a fancy to Ge Wusu and asked him to be their boss. At that time, there were many tribes on the grasslands, and the so-called tribes were mutual aid groups formed by people with similar bloodlines. The tribe basically belongs to the family business, a tribe is a company, from the chairman to the employees are their own family, and the advantage is that they are father and son soldiers. Strong cohesion, more effective when the tribe is not large. The disadvantage is that the company gradually grows bigger, and the internal relationships are gradually estranged, which makes it more difficult to manage.
It is said that the solution to the bottleneck of family business development is to introduce professional managers, which is this. Many family businesses do not dare to delegate power and do not trust outsiders, so many family businesses die suddenly after going to glory. It turns out that the owners of enterprises with modern scientific knowledge are not as knowledgeable as the uneducated Xianbei people thousands of years ago.
Xianbei is not a national concept, but a regional concept, and the meaning of Xianbei people is the same as that of Shandong people and Henan people, and the meaning of Uyghur and Zhuang people is different. The Xianbei people in a broad sense refer to the tribes that originated in the Great Xianbei Mountains in eastern Liaodong (now the area of the Great Xing'an Mountains). The more powerful tribes recorded in the history books include the Duan Division, the Murong Division, and the Tuoba Division.
The three major tribes have risen one after another, but the first to dominate the grassland is a small Xianbei tribe, and the small tribe has done a big thing: changing the family management model that the tribal leader has been promoting from within, and going to hire talents from the outside to manage the tribe.
It turned out that the tribal elders deeply felt that it was not easy to mix in the grassland, because everyone followed the law of the jungle, the weak eat the strong, and if they were not strong, they would be wiped out or enslaved, and it was a problem to rely on insiders to manage the tribe to survive in such a complex competitive environment. Not to mention development and growth, so they broadened their horizons and decided to invite capable people to be leaders, and the grassland eagle Ge Wusu was the best candidate.
Legend has it that Ge Wusu, who has a noble bloodline, readily agreed, subconsciously who doesn't want to do something big? So Ge Wusu, a descendant of the Shennong clan, became the leader of this Xianbei people.
Ge Wusu did not disappoint everyone, under his leadership, the tribe gradually became stronger, and gradually became the overlord of the grassland, the nearby tribes, those who contributed some cattle and sheep on time were listed as the objects of protection, and whoever bullied the younger brother was solved by the eldest brother. At one time, the nearby steppe tribes took refuge one after another, and twelve tribes successively united around Gewusu.
There are more people, the management is more difficult, and the response management must be upgraded. Ge Wusu had a way, and formed a tribal alliance similar to a country, and initially formed the prototype of the country, and became the leader of the tribal alliance himself—"Adult".
No one in the world except the Buddha can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and as the days passed, Ge Wusu grew old. Ge Wusu is also dying, what will he do with the family business he has earned? In ancient times, the sage king of the world was public, so he created the Zen concession system, however, Zen always made later generations feel a little unreliable.
Ge Wusu is not so hypocritical, since the situation is made by himself, Lao Tzu strives for his descendants to enjoy the righteousness, so Ge Wusu decided to pass on his son after his death, and his son to pass on to his grandson after his death, and since then, Ge Wusu's descendants have been "adults" for generations.
I don't know how many years have passed, a major event happened in the Yuwen tribe, the current "adult" Puhui picked up the treasure on the way to hunting, a jade seal used by the emperor of the Central Plains, a large seal made of jade, with the text "Emperor Seal" on it, called the emperor's jade seal three buttons.
I don't know which master pointed out, Pu Hui understands what it is like to be the emperor, the whole world is the emperor's territory, all the people are the emperor's people, of course, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and there are more people in the territory of Pu Hui, who is in charge of the adult. "It's good to be an emperor."
Pu Hui was very excited, he thought that this was a hint from God, indicating that God had opened his eyes to let him recast the glory of his ancestors. If that's not what God meant, why give me a big seal? Hungry? I'm going to be emperor too! So, Puhui led the Xianbei Twelve to build the country, we will not call it a tribe in the future, and it will be called a country like the Central Plains people, as for the country name, in the Xianbei language, the sky is called "Yu", the emperor is called "Wen", and it is called "Yuwen Country".
Since then, the descendants of Puhui have taken the country as their surname, and Puhui has become Yuwen Puhui, and a great surname - Yuwen was born. The Song Dynasty researched that the ancestors of the Yuwen clan called themselves the Tong Fen clan, and the Tong Fen is the meaning of grass, and the grass is as important to the nomads as the loess is to the Han people, so it is reasonable to refer to the "grass" as the clan. But in this way, the grassroots have nothing to do with the emperor who is known as the Son of Heaven.
However, the world is universally connected, Shennong's biggest myth is to taste a hundred herbs to save all sentient beings, so far there is an important "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra" in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, grass and Shennong do not seem to be incompatible. In any case, the Yuwen family has since become a part of the Chinese family name. The state of Yuwen was established on the grassland. However, the people of the Central Plains still call them Xianbei Yuwen Department, and they are called the same as the Xianbei tribes such as the Murong Department, the Tuoba Department, and the Duan Department.
The northern steppes originally had a unified power, the Xiongnu, and the tribes survived tenaciously under the rule of the Huns. After the decline of the Xiongnu, the grassland gradually formed a situation in which the heroes rose together, and the Yuwen Department, the Murong Department, the Tuoba Department, and the Duan Department stepped onto the historical stage one after another.
After Pu Hui's death, his son Mona led the people to move eastward and left his hometown in Yinshan to come to western Liaoning. The Yinshan area became the pasture of the Tuoba Department, and the western Liaoning Province first had a strong section department, and then the Murong Department gradually developed, and the grassland appeared a situation of group heroes standing side by side.
The grassland follows the law of the jungle, and the law of the jungle is their rule of the game, so as long as the balance of power between tribes changes, the ensuing war is always inevitable, and war is not always the victory of good over evil, in fact, it is difficult to say who is righteous and who is evil when fighting between tribes. Everyone is here to survive, for example, the wolf eats the sheep, is the wolf righteous or evil? Who will you call for the grass eaten by the sheep?
When the Yuwen Kingdom reached Yuwen Mogui, another Xianbei tribe, the Murong Clan, rose, and the real enemy of the Yuwen Kingdom came.
The Murong clan is claimed to be from the Youxiong clan, and the Xiong clan is the Yellow Emperor, and it turns out that the Murong clan is also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor! Legend has it that at the beginning of Cao Wei, this Xianbei tribe entered Liaoxi under the leadership of the leader Mo Huba, and founded a country in the north of Thorn City. Mo Hubao liked this image, so he tied up his scattered hair and put on the Bu Shao crown, which became the symbol of Mo Huba, and all the departments of the grassland called him Bu Shao when they mentioned him. Who knew that the three passes and two passes were out of shape, and Bu Shao was said to be Murong, Mo Huba took advantage of the situation to call himself Murong's family, and publicized that they took Murong as their clan because of "Mu Eryi's virtue and the appearance of Sanguang".
When Murong Mo's grandson, Murong She, returned to the kingdom, he began to have a grudge with Yuwenguo. After the death of Shik. It is passed on to his son-in-law Murong Diao, and the other tribe of 1,700 families is distributed to the eldest son Tuyuhun as another department.
The people of the two departments are brothers, and the horses of the two divisions sometimes fight together, Murong Diao got angry, and called his brother Tuyuhun over and reprimanded: Since the first prince let us divide and rule, why don't you go far away and let the horses fight with each other. Tuyuhun was also very angry: Horses are beasts and it is their nature to fight each other, why should you be angry with others, since you don't like me here, I will lead my troops to leave you thousands of miles.
They first went to Yinshan and then migrated to Hexi, and finally took root in the area of Qinghai Lake in Longxi, becoming a branch of Xianbei in Hexi, and his descendants established a powerful Tuyuhun country, which became the western frontier of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty.
Under his leadership, the Murong Department became more and more powerful, posing a threat to neighboring countries such as Yuwen and Duan, so Yuwen, Duan, and Goguryeo jointly attacked their base Thorn City to eliminate Murong Diao in one fell swoop. Murong Diao couldn't hold on, and ordered someone to bring fat sheep and wine to reward Yuwen Ministry, and the other two countries thought that Yuwen and Murong had an inside story, so they withdrew, and Murong Diao's big and single Yuwen Lord Xi Duguan, Xi Duguan fled alone, and even the emperor Yuxi Sanniu handed down by Puhui was also taken away by Murong Diao as a trophy.
At the same time, another Xianbei tribe, the Tuoba clan, was also gradually growing and developing, and the state they established was first called the Dai State, then changed to the Wei State, and later called it the Northern Wei Dynasty. When the Xianbei Tuoba tribe changed from nomads to settlers, and more importantly, came into contact with Han culture, they immediately set off a vigorous movement to make ancestors. In this movement, the Yellow Emperor was brought out to be the ancestor of the Tuoba Division. They shared a common ancestor with the Murong tribe.
The Tuoba royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty said that they were the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and the Yuwen royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty said that they were the descendants of Emperor Yan, anyway, they were all authentic descendants of Yan and Huang.
So the Central Plains Han Confucian scholars painfully found that the original northern barbarians who rode horses and archery were actually the descendants of Yan and Huang of the root red Miaozheng, a story illustrates the helplessness of the Han people, when the Northern Wei Emperor Yuan Xiu ran away from home caused the celestial anomaly, the Liang Dynasty Emperor Xiao Yan was very surprised: it turned out that the captives also responded to the celestial phenomena. In fact, no matter how the historians elevated, they couldn't change the fact that Yuwen Kingdom still belonged to the tribal alliance.
Moreover, survival on the grassland is about strength, and if you don't have enough strength, you can only become a second-class citizen of other tribes. As the strength of the Xianbei Murong Department continued to rise, the end of Yuwen Kingdom was approaching day by day. (To be continued.) )
