At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms were divided, and in the chaotic world, the three families of Wei Shu and Wu competed for glory, and heroes from ancient times were difficult to find, and there were many generations here, Yuan Cao's grandson Liu Lu, and the tiger looked at it. However, there is a definite number of heavens, three families are divided into six hundred years after the Jin Dynasty, and three families return to the Jin Dynasty. Heroes compete for loneliness, and the world belongs to a mediocre person!
At this time, the Western Jin Dynasty effortlessly ended the civil strife that had lasted for more than 80 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Haiqing River Yan song and dance began, and the family talent was passed down. From 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty entered the so-called Taikang prosperous period, a pair of flowers with brocade and fiery cooking oil, who could have imagined that in less than 20 years, the illusion of the prosperous world was punctured, the iron hooves of the Five Hu were under the Huaxia plate, and the Central Plains fell.
On December 25, 1991, the Red Flag landed on the soviet Union and disintegrated, and the only remaining superpower, the United States, won the Cold War for nearly half a century since 1945. At this time, how proud is the United States, the first economic power, the first political power, the first science and technology power, the only world hegemon!
Now, after 30 years have passed, under the Iron-Blooded Throne of the American hegemon, it still seems that there are still flowers and a prosperous appearance, but I think that the prosperity of the United States today is like the prosperity of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the prosperity is full of dangers. The demise of the Western Jin Dynasty apparently stemmed from the migration of nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei from outside the Great Wall to the interior of the Central Plains, which eventually intensified ethnic contradictions and triggered the Yongjia Rebellion. So, without the Yongjia Rebellion caused by the internal migration of the Five Hus, would the Western Jin Dynasty still perish? Why do I say that the United States today is on the road to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, and why is this?
01 Wuhu
The so-called Wuhu, the collective name of the five major nomadic peoples such as xiongnu, karma, qi, qiang and xianbei, is the culprit of the wuhu chaos. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, a large number of Xiongnu people moved inward, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the large-scale internal annexation of the Southern Xiongnu and the frequent occurrence of Qiang chaos in the northwest region, Hu han mixed residence for hundreds of years, Hu forces have long penetrated into the hinterland of the Central Plains, forming a trend of tail can not be lost.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiaoice river period on the land of China suddenly struck, the temperature in the north plummeted, and the living environment of the nomadic people in northern China deteriorated sharply, and a large number of herders had no choice but to cross the Great Wall and go south into the heart of the Central Plains under the pressure of this climate change, and the Hu people exploded into the Han gathering place, and the Contradiction between Hu and Han was buried.
What was the Western Jin Dynasty doing at this time? The Western Jin Dynasty boasted of inheriting the Yu Wei of the Han Empire, with the military strength of a Han Dynasty and five Hu, and despised the four sides, on the one hand distributing weapons to the Xiongnu and other tribes as mercenaries to help the Western Jin Dynasty to calm down the border troubles, on the other hand, from the heart, it continued to discriminate against tribal herdsmen, artificially creating discrimination between ethnic groups, and implementing a high-pressure policy.
As we all know, the foundation of the Western Jin Dynasty was based on the power of the Shijia clan, and the Sima family, as the ruler, was one of them. Land annexation, accumulation of wealth! The family clan held a large number of land resources, but the embarrassing thing was that a large number of innocent deaths of the population in the Three Kingdoms War were not enough to cultivate, at this time, the greedy magnate Gaudi did not care about the increasingly serious crisis of herdsmen's inward migration, reduced a large number of Hu people to slavery, and did their best to exploit them.
The mouth is righteous, talking about this shameless family family.
Sima Yan changed the five Xiongnu marshals into five lieutenants and placed them in the territory of today's Shanxi, and the Xiongnu people who had the experience of establishing a strong political power gradually gathered in the process of participating in the Central Plains War, restored their strong combat effectiveness, and after seeing the central plains in ruins and the corruption of the imperial court, their restless hearts gradually ignited the dream of a great power, and these Xiongnu people wanted to restore the glory of the Han Empire!
The Xiongnu migrated south with the Xiongnu, mainly distributed in the Shangdang area of Shanxi, which is the lowest degree of Sinicization among the Five Hus, and it is also the most ferocious ethnic group, and finally it was jointly exterminated by various forces! The Hu people are an ancient ethnic group that has always lived in the western region, mainly distributed in Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan during the Western Jin Dynasty. The concept of the Qiang people is very complicated, considered to be a western ancient ethnic group, living in the Qinghai Plateau, and began to advance to Shaanxi and Gansu during the Western Jin Dynasty.
As a rising star, although a branch of the Eastern Hu, the Xianbei people lived in the Liaodong and western Liaoning regions for generations, and in the Western Jin Dynasty, they began to spread widely in today's Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Shaanxi and Qinghai. The Xianbei can be nomadic and agricultural, and can be harvested freely in the farming Central Plains and nomadic grasslands. This is also the reason why the Xianbei people can laugh to the end among the Five Hus, establish a Unified Northern Wei regime in the north, and compete with the South!
02 Chaos
In 265 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty was established, and in 280 AD, Eastern Wu was destroyed and the whole country was unified. But what is this founding prince of unified China?
One day, Sima Yan, who was smug and proud of himself for the unification of the world, asked Liu Yi, a lieutenant colonel, with a smile on his face: Emperor He of the Han Dynasty? Sima Yan wanted to compare himself with the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the king of a country and the founding emperor actually openly asked for praise, why don't you go to heaven?
Oh, sure enough, the face-punching scene came, and the answer of Lieutenant Liu Yi was: Huanling Second Emperor. Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han were the direct promoters of the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, compared to these two emperors, Sima Yan was not even as good as these two, Huan Ling sold official money into the official treasury, and His Majesty sold official money into private doors. (Note: The Book of Jin)
The Second Emperor Huanling betrayed officials and engaged in corruption, but the good villains also knew how to deposit the money obtained from corruption into the national treasury. And you Sima Yan? You actually put all the money you got from corruption in your own pocket, so you are not as good as Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling.
A normal person, if he listens to the courtier's words, or is ashamed and embarrassed and then reformed, or thunderstorms and then swings a butcher knife, hehe, how does Sima Yan do it? It is neither a wise lord nor a tyrannical king, he laughed and said: The world of Huan Ling, do not hear this, now there are direct subjects, solid victory.
You have a direct subject, and it has become your proud capital! What is this fairy logic? Ordinary normal people don't think like this, so Sima Yan continued to sell officials and knights, and the sound and color of dogs and horses were happy and happy. Where will these high-ranking cadres and children from the family clan see the suffering of the people, where will they understand the future of the country, and the current pleasure is the king.
The upper liang is not right and the lower liang is crooked, and it is even more excessively crooked, after all, the emperor is still like this, let alone the ministers under his hands?
During the reign of Sima Yan, there were major events that shocked posterity, the Shi Chongwang Kai Doufu incident, the successive dynasties and dynasties did not have courtiers fight each other for wealth to cause the emperor to pull off the side of the court, Shen Wansan's wealth was revealed, tragically killed, a normal country is bound to crack down on the powerful, suppress mergers, show off wealth and other unhealthy trends, especially in the early days of the dynasty, it should set the tone for future generations, but in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, such a big event occurred!
Shi Chongmen entered the world and made a fortune by plundering wealthy merchants. Wang Kai, Wang Lang's grandson, Sima Yan's uncle, and a proper foreign relative. Then, after these two strange things met together, they were neither better than ability nor merit, because these really could not be taken, and the official title was even less comparable, because it was possible to buy an official. The two odd men came up with an idea that shocked the ages, than the rich, to see who is richer and more luxurious!
Wang Kai compiled forty miles of purple silk barrier and Shi Chongjia fifty miles of colored satin barrier, Luoyang everyone knows, everyone in the world is shocked. In order to help his uncle Wang Kai win, Sima Yan personally went down and took out the palace treasure coral tree to help his uncle Bifu. The funny thing is that the result is still lost! Because Shi Chong moved out dozens of coral trees from his home! One plant can be better than dozens of plants!
If the Three Kingdoms era is a heroic era, looking through the 51 years of the Western Jin Dynasty, it is difficult to find heroes and heroes, and all you can see is the contempt of meat eaters, corruption and depravity are all over the dynasty and the public, and throughout the dynasty, it should only be a short period of 51 years of guozuo, and I even think that these 51 years are too long!
03 Fall of the country
A series of chaos spawned by the corrupt life, the 16-year-long Rebellion of the Eight Kings, overlooking the land of China, the flames are everywhere, the infighting above the court is continuous, the rich and nobles are drunk and dreaming, and the bottom is struggling. Looking at the northern grasslands, the Hu forces are constantly gathering and growing, and the inside and outside of the Great Wall are actually twice the scene. On the one hand, the Western Jin Dynasty, which was corrupt and civil strife, on the other hand, the hu people, who were strong and armed, were still playing cannibalism on this side, but they were already sharpening their knives on the other side.
Finally, under the indulgence and disregard of the meat eaters of the Western Jin Dynasty, Hu Rode hissed and roared the Hu people to the south, this time they were full of swords, guns and swords, and the killing came to the world, and the Central Plains Empire encountered the greatest frontier risk in history.
In 304 AD, Liu Yuan, the xiongnu left governor, revolted at Zuoguocheng, and the Xiongnu tribes and the northwestern Hu people responded. In 308 AD, Liu Yuanping was proclaimed emperor. In 309 AD, two attacks on Luoyang were attacked. In 310, Liu Yuan's nephew Liu Yao (劉曜) conquered Luoyang and captured Sima Zhao, the Emperor of Jin. In 316, Liu Yao's troops approached Chang'an and captured Sima Yi, the Emperor of Jin.
At this point, the corrupt Western Jin Dynasty was finally able to sweep into the garbage heap of history!
Before the Western Jin Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains were proud of fighting foreign enemies and were ashamed of surrendering, and after the Western Jin Dynasty, Chinese scholars could naturally surrender to foreign tribes and act as the second devil. Liu Cong, the Emperor of the Xiongnu, asked Sima Chi, the Emperor of Jinhuai: Why are you Sima family brothers and sisters?
How did the Jin emperor answer? The shameless attributes of the Sima family of the Western Jin Dynasty are full of points:
This is not a human affair, and the emperor's will is also. The Great Han will be subject to the past, so His Majesty will be expelled. And if the courtiers can follow the cause of the Emperor Wu and the Nine Tribes, how can His Majesty get it!
04 Final Chapter
Returning to the original question, would the Western Jin Dynasty have perished without the Yongjia Rebellion caused by the Hu people's southward migration? Emotionally, I wished that this decadent dynasty would perish and walk into the rubbish heap of history. But we still need to rationally analyze it, in fact, the fate of the Western Jin Dynasty has long been doomed, the upper layer drunken dreaming of death, the lower layer dying and struggling, under the selection system of the nine-pin Zhongzheng system, the giants completely blocked the promotion road of the children of the cold door, even if there is no Hu people moving inward, it will also be under this huge gap between rich and poor, and the shouts of DazeXiang are only a matter of time.
History has no ifs, and although history will not repeat itself, there are traces to follow!
In today's world, there is a country that is on the road to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty. Under the indulgence of the neo-liberal economic policy, the wealth feast of the big capitalists continues to expand, the social disparity between the rich and the poor, the unlimited expansion of the dollar debt, the domestic racial contradictions, the global hegemony under the throne of too many hidden worries, infighting, external troubles.
On the one hand, there is the carnival party of the big capitalists, on the other hand, the anti-intellectual Showtime of the people at the bottom, on the other hand, the political correctness of the wave of immigration smuggling, and on the other hand, the racial crisis that is constantly intensifying contradictions. Today's United States is still the world hegemon, economic prosperity, military strength, a prosperous look, just like the Taikang prosperous world before the Yongjia Rebellion, whether a crisis of the Wuhu invasion came first, or a cry of Dazexiang broke out first, we do not know, and wait and see!
Some people say that this comparison is meaningless, there is no comparison, and the United States will never be the Western Jin.
In the fog of history as it goes, there are always too many differences. And after a while, when you look at it, you can see many similarities. Yes or no, history is there, she will not simply repeat, but always with the same rhyme.
