When the population of the Han Dynasty flourished, in fact, the Hu people in the north were not idle, and having children became a basic national policy. If a nation wants to have a future, it must give birth to wave after wave of seven or eight o'clock suns.
Therefore, what is in front of the Cao Wei Dynasty is also a very headache! What should be done with these hu people, whose population is growing rapidly? And these Hu people are divided into three major areas: northeast, northwest and central north.
Cao Wei was also very distracted, and they adopted different strategies for these places:
For the northwest, which was mainly the western region, Cao Wei adopted a laissez-faire attitude, although he still set up the western region long history and the lieutenant colonel in the western region, and the controllability was basically zero. The Cao Wei court believed that the focus should be on the Guanxi Corridor.
For the Southern Xiongnu in the central and northern regions, Cao Wei divided them into five, appointed 5 commanders each, and sent the Han Sima to supervise.
For Xianbei, who was further north, including the northeast, Cao Wei had two hands and a stall, saying: This really can't be managed! Although Cao Wei also adopted a policy of appeasement and differentiation, the effect was not great.
For this reason, we can find that the only thing that Cao Wei really solved was the Southern Xiongnu in the central and northern regions. For the Western Regions and Xianbei, Cao Wei was also powerless. This laid the groundwork for the subsequent turmoil in the Western Jin Dynasty.
First, Sima Yi slaughtered Liaodong and made a big hole for Xianbei.
In the late period of the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, Gongsun Yuan, a speculator in Liaodong Province, was there all day long, one moment to claim the title of emperor himself, and the next to join forces with Sun Quan to clean up Cao Rui, so angry that Cao Rui was eager to drive the imperial conquest.
However, Cao Rui's body had already been destroyed by himself at that time, and he had to entrust this heavy responsibility to the elderly Sima Yi. Don't look at Sima Yi's old age, but the people are old and strong, and they went to Liaodong with 40,000 troops.
As soon as Sima Yi struck, Gongsun Yuan was confused, and he was not an opponent at all! Therefore, Sima Yi did not make much effort to destroy Gongsun Yuan.
Before leaving, Sima Yi also did a lack of morality, and he killed all the officials who worked with Gongsun Yuan. In addition, all the men over the age of 15 were killed, and even piled up into the "Jingguan".
Even so, liaodong only has old and weak women and children left, not even a person in charge, at least to send some garrison here to defend the frontier, right?
I'm sorry, Sima Yi forgot about this stubble! He was busy going back to sit and wait for Cao Rui to die of illness, and he had no time to take care of Liaodong! Good fellow, the great Liaodong, instantly became a three-way zone, and anyone can come here to spread wilderness!
The Xianbei brothers in the far north would have to go to the south to loot in the winter, and in the past, there were Gongsun family towns guarding Liaodong, and they did not dare to mess around, but this came back, and it was as convenient as no man's land.
Good guys, this place is warm (compared to Siberia, the northeast is warmer)! Looking at it again, no one managed here, and the Xianbei brothers simply migrated from the north to Liaodong.
Later, before the Wuhu Chaohua, Liaodong had already gathered the Xianbei Yuwen clan, the Xianbei Murong clan, the Xianbei Duan clan, the Xianbei Tuoba clan, and so on. The first to rise was the Former Yan regime established by Murong Xianbei. You said that Wuhu Chaohua this pot, Sima Yi should not carry it?
Second, Sima Yan was overly tolerant of the Xiongnu Liu Yuan.
After Cao Wei divided the Southern Xiongnu into five departments, he once set up five marshals, and in order to prevent them from rebelling, Cao Wei also specially asked these five marshals to send his son to Luoyang as a hostage.
Among them, Liu Bao, the commander of the left department, sent his son Liu Yuan to Luoyang as a hostage. After the Western Jin Dynasty replaced Cao Wei, Liu Yuan was still a hostage in Luoyang. It's been a long enough time, and the hostage career has spanned a dynasty!
During this period, Liu Yuan worked hard to learn the culture of the Central Plains and accumulated a large amount of knowledge of Han culture. In addition, he himself was born from a Xiongnu and was good at riding and shooting, so after about 20 years of hostage career, he actually built Liu Yuan into a handsome young man who was both literate and martial!
Because Liu Yuan was overly talented and grew up under everyone's eyes, Sima Yan was more at ease with Liu Yuan. When the Xianbei people were able to raise an army in the northwest, Sima Yan even planned to let Liu Yuan lead his troops to quell the rebellion.
Fortunately, there are still people in the DPRK who understand: Liu Yuan led the soldiers to suppress the rebellion, I think it is meat buns beating dogs, and there is no turning back!
This is true, after all, Liu Yuan is so talented, and he is the son of the Xiongnu leader, running back to inherit the family business and rebelling against the Jin Dynasty, is it not a very easy thing? Sima Yan thought about it and seemed to think it made sense, so he pressed this matter down.
Immediately after, a large number of impeachments for Liu Yuan came, and they hoped that Sima Yan would kill Liu Yuan to get rid of the trouble! These people are really forward-looking, but unfortunately Sima Yan did not agree!
Liu Yuan was so popular in the DPRK that some officials took the lives of their entire families as a guarantee to ensure that Liu Yuan could not do anything to apologize to the Jin Dynasty. These people really want to kill their heads!
It was under the sponsorship of these people that Liu Yuan, after the death of his father Liu Bao, actually returned to the Xiongnu to inherit the position of Left Commandery.
At this point, Liu Yuan was like a dragon entering the sea, taking advantage of the spring breeze of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and immediately started a business and established the Han Zhao regime. Later, after his son Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, he destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty. I just wanted to ask Sima Yan: After knowing the result, will you still be merciful to Liu Yuan's men?
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the direct cause of the Great Rebellion of the Western Jin Dynasty.
It is better to reflect on your responsibilities! After all, you can't change the heavens and the earth, only you can change yourself! The reason why the Western Jin Dynasty was in chaos was not because the various princes of the Sima family were fighting each other!
After Sima Yan's death, he passed the throne to his foolish son Sima Zheng. Sima Zheng did not have the ability to govern the country, so the power of the government was in the hands of Jia Nanfeng.
Jia Nanfeng acted recklessly, and even killed the crown prince Sima Song, directly annoying the various princes of the Sima family! One by one, they held the military power, rubbed their fists, and were thinking of finding an opportunity to seize power, but they did not think that Jia Nanfeng took the initiative to send it to the door!
For this reason, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings has thus begun. The specific process is more chaotic, and I will not repeat it here, in short, a group of princes of the Sima family led the soldiers to stage one after another group of magic dances in the Central Plains.
After these people killed for a while, they crippled the fresh forces of the Western Jin Dynasty, and on this basis, the Hu people successively went south, attacked the city strategically, occupied the mountains as kings, and the era of Wuhu Chaohua came from here.
That would be too tragic, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Hun, and Qiang peoples have established their own separatist regimes, and there are more than 20 of them. The Han Chinese in the Central Plains were divided into two parts, one of whom chose to take refuge in the south and some of whom chose to suffer in the north.
Summary: The 52-year Western Jin Dynasty really did not have a good life for a few days.
In 265 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty was founded. It was not until 280 AD that the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Eastern Wu and completed the work of unification. But in 317 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed!
That is to say, the great unification of the Western Jin Dynasty actually lasted only 37 years. The period from 291 AD to 306 AD was the famous Rebellion of the Eight Kings. Since then, there has been a chaotic situation in Wuhuhua.
Therefore, in the great unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, the real stable days were only 11 years. What caused this result was nothing more than the mistakes made by Sima Yi and Sima Yan in decision-making, plus the princes of the Sima family, for their own selfish interests, disregarded Cangsheng.
