I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry

In 376 AD, Former Qin Fu Jian destroyed the Tuoba dynasty and unified the north.

Sima Yao, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, had just come to power, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was basically controlled by two major families. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River were controlled by Huan Chong, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were ruled by Xie An.

In 382, the eighth year after the death of King Meng of Xiang, Jian Jian decided to lead 800,000 troops south to attack the Jin Dynasty in order to unify the world.

However, history has made a big joke, the strong former Qin army was defeated by the weak Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even quickly evolved into a major rout of grass and trees, and directly led to the collapse of the Former Qin Empire, Fu Jian died, what is the reason for this?

The reasons are not complicated.

One of the main reasons was the early death of Wang Meng, the so-called first person of Gonggai Zhuge and the huge loss of the Former Qin Empire.

How important is Wang Meng, as the most outstanding politician and military figure in Former Qin, with Guan Zhong, Zhuge Zhicai, and a good hand in governing the country and the world, it is a pity that he overworked In 375, Fu Jian lost his best assistant, and the Former Qin Empire lost its best think tank.

And Zhi Jian swelled up under a series of victories, especially when he made the same mistake as Xiang Yu, the benevolence of women, and reused the royal nobles of various countries after the conquest without precaution. The seeds of rebellion were sown. His womanly benevolence was directed not only against his own people, but also with his enemies.

Murong Chui, who had defected due to Former Yan's internal strife, was entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Jian Jian, and former Yan royals such as Murong Hong and Murong Chong were also retained for heavy use. The Qiang leader Yao Cang was appointed "General of the Dragon Dragon" as a sign of favor, and even appointed the Eastern Jin general Zhu Xu before the decisive battle of Shuishui. And it was precisely these people who rebelled immediately after his defeat.

Before Wang Meng died of illness, he advised Jian Jian not to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, for a simple reason.

First, Xie An, a powerful man of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was still there, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty still had appeal for the Zhongyuan Zhengshuo regime.

Second, there are hidden worries about internal disunity, and the ambitions of xianbei and Western Qiang to ambush the nobles have not died, and they have not yet eradicated the troubles.

However, Fu Jian, who was anxious to achieve success and bent on unifying the world, did not take Wang Meng's words to heart.

The Former Qin regime had just completed its unification in the north. The foundation is extremely unstable. The whole of Former Qin was actually in a state of undercurrents, all of which were superficial unity and loyalty, but in fact had different ambitions.

At this time, the battle is good for everyone, and everyone is against the defeat.

However, Fu Jian could no longer see this. He had long forgotten Wang Meng's words, he was too anxious, he wanted to unify the world too much.

In fact, Wang Meng died, Xie An was still there, the balance of victory fell to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if Wang Meng was still alive, if the two Wang Zuozhi talents were there, then the peak duel! Who wins back! The probability is that Wang Meng, after all, the former Qin state force is much stronger.

Unfortunately for Former Qin, Wang Meng died a few years earlier.

Fortunately for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An was still there.

Xie An's perfect layout made up for many deficiencies in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie An constantly adjusted his relationship with the Heng clan of Jingzhou, and the great enemy had now contributed to the situation of the jingyang alliance, and the internal situation was basically a state of unity of purpose.

At the same time, he did not shy away from his relatives, and appointed Xie Xuanzhen, who had excellent ability, to guard Guangling and recruit heroic soldiers to further expand the "Beifu" troops.

The location of the Xie'an Decisive Battle was very well chosen, just as the so-called defending the river must defend Huai, as long as the Huai River is defended, it can ensure that the north and south banks of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in the hands of the Jin army, and it will be able to keep the Former Qin million army out of the country.

In summary, after Former Qin's series of expansion victories, Jian Jian's mentality was too inflated.

He ignored the internal instability of Former Qin. Ignoring the fact that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still considered to be the right shuo of the world, it hastily launched a million-strong army to march south.

Due to the excessive size of the army, the management efficiency of the army was inefficient, especially the logistics supply was a big problem, and this important military secret was detected by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which cleverly used this problem to successfully defeat Former Qin.

After the defeat of Former Qin, the state's military and political system collapsed, and only the crown prince led a small number of old, weak, sick and disabled towns to defend the town, which led to the rebellion of Xianbei and Western Qiang.

Two years later, Jian Jian was strangled to death by the Qiang man Yao Cang; nine years later, Former Qin perished.

Former Qin's failure was mainly caused by Fu Jian's character, who made the same mistake as Xiang Yu: the benevolence of a woman and impatience in case of trouble. Therefore, his fate was the same as Xiang Yu's.

Again, he wanted to dominate the world. If you wait two years, the internal stability will be more stable. At the same time, Xie An hung up and fought the Eastern Jin Dynasty again. Maybe Fu Jian will really end the chaotic world and unify the world.

Pity, sigh!

Or the old saying is good wow! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
