Hello everyone, welcome back to the masquerade to talk about history. In the last issue, we talked about the rebellion of the Eight Kings after 16 years, and finally came to an end, and Sima Yue became the final winner.
Later, Sima Yue poisoned the foolish emperor Sima Zheng and established the emperor's brother-in-law Sima Zhao as Emperor Huai of Jin.
Of course, Sima Chi is still a mascot, and Sima Yue is the real actual ruler. At this time, Sima Yue was in a position of great power, and he was also a taifu and a lu shang shushi, all of whom were important positions of real power and monopolized the government.
Several of his younger brothers were also heavily armed and dominated the side. Who are they?
Sima Luo, the King of Gaomi, was the Grand General of Zhengnan, the governor of Jingzhou, and the town guarded Xiangyang; Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, was a general of Zhenxi, and the military governor of Qin, Yong, Liang, and Yi prefectures was the governor of Chang'an.
Here we have to focus on the changes in personnel in the state.
Originally, this prefecture was the territory of Sima Teng, the king of Eastern Yan, but Sima Teng was appointed as the new King of Cai, the Governor of The Capital, and the military of Ji'er Prefecture, and the town guarded the city of Yicheng.
The successor to Sima Teng's post as the Assassin of Hezhou was Liu Kun. Who is Liu Kun?
This Liu Kun is a big celebrity, he is after Liu Sheng, the King of Jing in Zhongshan.
Does this sound familiar?
Yes, it is Liu Bei's often hanging on his lips, "I am the queen of Zhongshan Jing", he and Liu Bei are the same sect.
This Liu Kun bar, when he was young, worked in poetry and was full of talent, and was one of the famous "Twenty-Four Friends".
Together with his friend Zu Ti, he also contributed two idioms: Dancing Chicken and Pillow Waiting.
When Sima Teng was transferred out of the prefecture, there was a famine in the prefecture.
And Sima Teng was also too unauthentic, and before leaving, he also took away more than 10,000 people from hezhou, which was called "begging for food in Jizhou."
The state that Liu Kun left behind was actually an empty city.
This Liu Kun simply cleaned up and went on the road to Jinyang. On the way, more than 500 people were recruited, and thus entered Jinyang.
Liu Kun pacified the displaced people in Jinyang, developed production, strengthened defenses, and within a year Jinyang regained its vitality.
As we said before, the same person who fought against Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu Han State was Sima Teng.
No, Sima Teng left, and Liu Kun took over the banner and continued to work with Liu Yuan.
However, in Liu Kun's hands, Liu Yuan could not take advantage of it at all.
In this way, Liu Kun gained a foothold in Jinyang, and later became one of the few surviving resistance forces of the Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Let's go back to Liu Yuan.
After Liu Yuan became king, he was attacked by Sima Teng, and the two sides fought a major battle at Daling (大陵, in present-day northern Wenshui, Shanxi).
Liu Yuan won a great victory, and sent Liu Yao and others to capture the counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Xihe, and for a time his reputation was greatly enhanced.
At this time, the addition of two generals greatly strengthened Liu Yuan's strength.
Who is it?
One is Liu Yuan's good friend, Wang Mi.
This Wang Mi was a native of Donglai and a second-generation official, and his grandfather was Wang Ji (王颀) of the Western Jin Dynasty. In the era of Wei Jin's father-fighting, if Wang Mi followed the path of his grandfather and his father, he must be an official luck and prosperity.
However, Wang Mi was a restless person in his bones.
"I once dreamed of fighting the sword to go to the end of the world, to see the prosperity of the world, and the young heart was always a little crazy."
He once traveled to Luoyang, and Became a friend of Liu Yuan, who was working as a proton.
Later, there was a rebellion in his hometown, and seeing this scene, Wang Miyi, who was full of rebellion, joined the rebel army without hesitation.
However, the rebellion was soon suppressed by the Anbei general Wang Jun. Wang Mi was forced to flee to the jianghu and fled to the mountains with his men, becoming the king of the mountains.
However, the King of Wang Migan Mountain is still quite outstanding, and every time he goes down the mountain to rob, he has a plan, and he has hardly miscalculated. Moreover, he has excellent arm strength, skillful bow horse, riding and shooting, and is called "flying leopard" by the Qingzhou people.
In this way, Wang Mi's prestige is getting higher and higher, and the troops are getting stronger and stronger. Wang Mi couldn't resist the restlessness in his heart, so he went out of the mountain and prepared to show his fists and feet.
He was invincible in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and no one could stop him, until he met his nemesis, Gou Xi.
If Wang Mi is a "flying leopard", then Gou Xi is a "flying tiger".
As soon as Wang Mi saw that he could not do it, he gathered the remnants and came to Xuchang.
On this road, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the counties of Taishan, Luguo, Chen, Liang, Chen, Runan, Yingchuan, and Xiangcheng were attacked. He also invaded Xuchang, opened the treasury to take out his weapons, attacked the city strategically, killed the local guards, and gathered tens of thousands of people.
It seemed that it was about to reach Luoyang, the capital was shaken, and the city gate was closed day and night. After Wang Mi arrived in Luoyang, Situ Wang Yan led troops to resist.
If it is said that it is still a group of ordinary people, in the end, they were defeated by Wang Yan's regular army.
At the end of the day, Wang Mi heard that his old friend Liu Yuan had mixed well in the past two years and had already claimed the title of king, so he defected to Liu Yuan.
After Liu Yuan received the news, he was overjoyed and immediately made Wang Mi a lieutenant of the Division, and added a servant to the middle and special jin.
Wang Mi, let's talk about this first, and then there will be his role later.
Let's talk about another person who defected to Liu Yuan. Compared with Wang Mi, this person was much less famous at that time, but his influence in history was much greater later.
This man is Shi Le, a member of the Karmic people. That is, wuhu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Karma, Qiang, Qiang in the Qiang.
The origin of the history books is not very clear, it can be said that it is a relatively mysterious race in the history of the mainland. The reason why it is called race here is because in a sense, the Xiongnu cannot become a real nation, it is only a branch of the Huns at that time.
There are many theories about the origin of the Karmic people, some historical records say that they are descendants of the Ōtsuki clan; some say that they are Central Asian Kangju people; and others say that they are Shiguo people and Sogdians.
The history books record that the appearance of these people: tall, straight nose, deep eye sockets, full of beard, the original words in the history books are "high nose, deep eyes, many whiskers", but how to feel that this is a bit like bin Laden.
During the Two Han Dynasties, the Xiongnu were crippled, and the Southern Xiongnu became the "second-class citizens" of the Han, and the second-class citizens of the "second-class citizens" also settled in the Central Plains.
We all know that ethnic minorities have strong fighting strength, but their cultural level is not high.
From the Fact that the Xiongnu only knew how to shoot large eagles with bent bows to the end, there was not even a single word left, which can be glimpsed.
As a Xiongnu under the Xiongnu, their level of education can be imagined, which is basically a negative number.
It is said that knowledge changes destiny, so whether it is the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the occupations engaged in by the Qi people have never changed, what profession? slave!
Just as the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was in full swing, a group of slaves were sold from Shanxi to Shandong.
Our next protagonist, Shi Le, is inside. The story of karma also begins here.
There is a Tang poem that says:
Shi Le had a fighter in his childhood, when Luoyang was leaning on the door.
The Jin Dynasty was not Wang Yifu, and Dazhi knew why.
What is this talking about?
In the "Book of Jin", Shi Le's biography says that the 14-year-old Shi Le was in Luoyang, inexplicably leaning on the city gate and howling, and happened to be heard by Wang Yan, and Wang Yan said, This voice is really earth-shattering, weeping ghosts! This is definitely not an ordinary person! The old man pinched his finger, this slave doll will be unfavorable to our Great Jin Dynasty!
It's really feudal superstition that kills people, I didn't think about it, I really let this big-mouthed cannon king Yan in a word.
The legend of Shi Le is not only the good voice said in the Tang poems, at this time, who could have imagined that the slave dolls would become emperors when they grew up, the Great Zhao Heavenly King.
This degree of legend can be more magical than Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang. Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer a monk and begged for food, and Liu Bang was also a pavilion chief. But Shi Le, as we said before, was born into slavery.
How did this Shi Le grow from a slave to the Great Zhao Heavenly King?
The legend of the slave Baby Shile,
Pay attention to the mask, let's talk about it in the next issue!
