The story of the dancing of the chicken is no stranger to everyone, and the protagonist zu Di is admired by posterity because of his diligence and lofty ambitions. I think everyone remembers that Zu Ti's purpose was to carry out the Northern Expedition and recover the lost land for the motherland. So did Zu Ti finally accomplish his goal? What was his end result? Listen to JAL Jun's breakdown below.
First, smell the chicken dancing
Since we want to talk about Zu Di, let's start by smelling the chicken dancing. Zu Ti was born into a rich family and lived a very privileged life since childhood. Zu Ti also has a good friend named Liu Kun, which can be said to be the happiest life for Zu Ti at this time. Logically, living in a rich family, it is natural to be contaminated with the temper of some rich children, such as spending days and drinking, such as robbing people's women and the like, Zu Ti does not have it, on the contrary, he is also very chivalrous. According to the record:
"However, he is a good man with light wealth, generous and modest, and every time he goes to the farmhouse, he is called a brother, and the scattered grain is poor in the week, and the township party clan is heavy."
That is to say, Zu Di was very chivalrous in ancient times, he was generous and often helped the poor around him, so he was often respected among the clan. In fact, we can find that a good general is often a generous person, and because of this, soldiers are willing to serve.
The relationship between Zu Ti and Liu Kun is very good, so good that it is somewhat like the relationship between the three brothers of Liu Guanzhang, Zu Ti and Liu Kun often sleep together, talk about the world's major events, and discuss the future direction. Smelling the chicken dancing happens in this context:
Hearing the sound of wild chickens in the middle of the night, Ke Kun realized: "This is not an evil sound." "Dance because of it."
One night, two people were sleeping, and Liu Kun heard the chicken crowing in the middle of the night, so Liu Kun stood up and practiced martial arts with Zu Ti, wanting to exercise his physique to better serve the country.
The happy time of the two people was not long broken, when the Rebellion of the Eight Kings broke out in the Jin Dynasty, people migrated from the north to the relatively stable south, Zu Ti and Liu Kun also led their clans to carry out migration operations, and finally under the leadership of the two leaders, the entire clan reached the south safely.
Second, life in the South
After this period of migration, Zu Ti's family property also went to a large part, so Zu Ti and his subordinates often lived a relatively poor life. To tell the truth, if you change the average person, you may tighten the belt of your pants and try to carry through this hard life. But Zu Ti is different, Zu Ti is not a pedantic person, in order not to let himself and his subordinates go hungry, Zu Ti thought of making a living by robbing, according to the record:
"Yang Tu famine, this generation is mostly for theft, attacking the rich room, and soothing the condolences: "Than fu Nantang out of the first?" "Or be roped by the officials, and support their salvation."
At that time, there were many rich people in the Nantang generation, Zu Ti and his subordinates relied on robbing rich people for a living, and if any of his subordinates were caught by the government at that time, Zu Ti would also come forward to rescue his subordinates. As for what means Zu Di used to rescue him, we don't know. But what I can speculate is that at that time, Zu Di was definitely a person who could eat both underworld and white.
To tell the truth, Zu Ti's approach was absolutely rebellious at that time and extremely affected his future. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, the popular Zang no character and the style of qing talk, when people are fine, naturally like to say some gossip to each other or evaluate the personality of the individual, in the end these things are likely to have an important impact on your officialdom, for example, "The New Language of the World" is a very famous book of passages, which shows the atmosphere at that time. Zu Ti made a living by robbing, and naturally would not be tolerated by these well-talked people, but Zu Ti didn't seem to care at all.
Later, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty settled down easily, and the people were all panicked, but only Zu Ti stood up and generously stated that he wanted to go north. The emperor needed such a brave person, but the emperor also thought that the Northern Expedition would not succeed, so he only gave Zu Di some symbolic rewards and supplies:
"Emperor Nai took Qi as a general of Fenwei and the assassin of Yuzhou, gave a thousand people a gift, clothed three thousand horses, did not give armor, and made himself recruit."
That is to say, the emperor only gave Zu Ti a thousand people food and three thousand pieces of cloth, did not give armor or soldiers, and let Zu Ti prepare it himself. I guess the emperor must also have had such a thought in his heart: Your ancestors are not able to rob, not the big robbers, then you will take your little robbers with you, go to rob the materials yourself, and recover the north yourself. The Northern Thief died except for the troubles, and Zu Ti died to remove internal worries.
In this way, Zu Ti embarked on the northern expedition with his own small bandits and some supplies.
3. The Northern Expedition of the Ancestors
I have to say that gold will shine. A capable person like Zu Ti, no matter where he went, was shining, even in this situation of no soldiers, no money and no food, he could show his brilliance.
Zu Ti had just gained a foothold in the north, and there were countless northern Wu Fort lords who came to beat Zu Ti, a foreigner. In the face of the fierce enemy, Zu Ti pulled or pulled, and soon after he calmed them all down.
After that, Zu Di will face the biggest enemy in his life, that is, Shi Le. Shi Le first sent 50,000 troops to attack Zu Ti, but was beaten back by Zu Ti Qiao's magic plan; then Shi Le sent ten thousand iron horsemen to attack Zu Ti, and as a result, he was beaten back by Zu Ti. In this way, Zu Ti successfully established a foundation of his own in the north. Later, Shi Le took the initiative to make peace and opened a market with Zu Ti:
"And listening to the mutual market, the profit is tenfold, so the public and private are rich, and the horses are growing."
Through this piece of market trade, Zu Ti successfully made a lot of money. After this, Zu Ti's people and horses increased day by day. Zu Di kept fighting northwards, even along the Yellow River. That is to say, the places along the Yangtze River to the Yellow River were recovered by zu ti a lot. At this time, Tian's jealous talents, Zu Ti was infected with heavy soldiers, and died soon after. Before his death, Zu Di said:
"For me! Fang Ping Hebei, and heaven wants to kill me, this is not the country also. ”
I had just pacified the north of the Yellow River, and God was about to take me away. This is God not blessing us in the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Zu Di died at the age of 56. I thought that if zu di was given enough time, maybe he could really recover the north. It is a pity that the hero died before he could get out of the division, and the hero was in tears.
