Speaking of nomads, everyone often thinks of Mongolia first, which was a steppe empire established by Genghis Khan, which later grew under the development of his sons and grandsons, and successively destroyed many countries such as the Western Xia, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty and so on. If we want to talk about the first nomadic minority to invade the Central Plains, it is definitely not the Mongols.
?? As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, due to the zhou youwang fenghuo princes, he did not do a good job in establishing an heir, deposed the empress and son of Rong Di at that time, and made him the queen and his son the prince. In the end, Rong Di's army directly attacked Hojing, and Western Zhou died! In the end, it was king Ping of Zhou who moved east to save the Zhou Dynasty.
Since the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, ethnic minorities have been constantly trying to invade the Central Plains, because the resources on the grasslands are limited, knowing that the Central Plains are prosperous, so it has always been coveted by the Central Plains, the Eastern Zhou is divided into the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, the Spring Period to resist the northern nomads is the Jin State, and the Jin State was strong in land at that time, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to attack. The next three families were divided into Jin, and the Tian Dynasty marked the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period. The northernmost is the State of Zhao, which at that time resisted the attack of the Xiongnu with the strength of a single country, and the King of Zhao Wuling, Hu Fu, did not dare to invade the Xiongnu on horseback.
?? Everyone knows that the last six kingdoms were destroyed by Qin Shi Huang, and he also wanted to face the attack of the Xiongnu, so he deliberately built the Great Wall in Beijing to resist the attack of the Xiongnu. Unfortunately, after the death of Qin II, the Han Dynasty unified the world and acted arbitrarily in front of the Xiongnu, and finally fought with the Xiongnu and was finally surrounded by the Xiongnu, and finally the courtiers were able to save each other. Since then, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu have maintained nearly a hundred years of peace, until the Han Wudi Emperor sent the great general Wei Qinghuo to the Xiongnu to go on an expedition to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu who once fought did not dare to repeat the crime for hundreds of years, coupled with the peace and pro-policy implemented by the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu later, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to act rashly.
After the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, and finally the Jin Dynasty unified the whole country, but unfortunately, the chaotic government of Jia Nanfeng caused the rebellion of the Eight Kings, and the last Five Hu were chaotic. The Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms arose in the north, and Liu Yu finally established the Song Dynasty to mark the establishment of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Northern Wei Dynasty was a dynasty founded by the Xianbei people, also a minority, because premature Sinicization also wanted to unify the whole country after unifying the north, but unfortunately it ended in failure.
?? Immediately after the establishment of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the main opponent at that time was the Rising Turks in the North, who also always looked at the Central Plains. However, under the suppression of Emperor Taizong of Tang and others, the Turkic Empire has since collapsed, effectively curbing the ambitions of the northern nomads to invade the Central Plains. However, after the tang dynasty was established five generations later, the Khitan nation arose in the north, and the Jin Dynasty also wanted to enter the Central Plains after the once extinguished, but because it could not adapt to the climate at that time, Liao Taizong himself died on the way. Until the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been confronting the Liao, until the rise of the Jurchen nation in the northeast, and has destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. There has been a confrontation with the Southern Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. The rise of the Mongol nation and the annihilation of the Jin, Western Xia, Southern Song and other countries.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, sent the general Xu Da to the Northern Expedition to conquer the Capital of Yuan, and the Yuan Shun Emperor fled back to the grasslands, and the country was once again unified. We usually call this force the Northern Yuan, the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty have been facing each other for hundreds of years, and they have not been able to defeat the Central Plains, to put it bluntly, they are just coveting the prosperity of the Central Plains and wanting gold and silver silk! The later Qing Dynasty was established by the Jurchens, which once again expanded its territory on the basis of the Ming Dynasty, laying a solid foundation for today's China!
