author:Old History Asago

In Chinese history, there is such a period called the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During this time period, China was divided into two separate political entities, the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south and the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north.

Soon after that, another incident occurred, which was the "Yongjia Rebellion". This event occurred in 316 AD, when the Western Jin Dynasty had fallen, and the northern tribes established themselves as kings, forming a situation of five Hu and sixteen kingdoms. Against this backdrop, there has been a large-scale migration of people, and many people in the Central Plains have been forced to leave their homes and be displaced. This is the so-called "Yongjia Rebellion".

However, during this time, not all of them chose to flee or surrender. Still others chose to stand up and rebel. The most famous of these was an insurrectionary army led by Liu Yuan. They fought against foreign rulers as Han Chinese and tried to restore the status of the Han Chinese.

However, due to the disparity in strength, their struggle was unsuccessful. On the contrary, it caused even greater confusion. Some of the peoples who had been opposed to the invaders also began to attack each other, forming a vicious circle.

In this case, a figure named Yang Jian stepped forward. He was a minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and a thoughtful strategist. Seeing the dire nature of the situation, he decided to take action to end the disastrous war.

He used his political influence to win over some of the generals who supported him. Then, through a series of clever maneuvers, he weakened the rebel army. In the end, he launched a large-scale offensive at a critical time, completely defeating the rebel army and ending the turbulent years of the "Yongjia Rebellion".

The "Yongjia Rebellion" is a very tragic historical tragedy, which has broken countless families and plunged people's lives into endless suffering. However, we should also note that in this crisis, there are still those who are still bravely standing on the front lines of resistance to the aggressor, and we are deeply impressed by their courage and determination.

At the same time, Yang Jian's performance is also worthy of our appreciation. He was a true hero who, with his wisdom and courage, saved many innocent lives and averted an even greater catastrophe. Therefore, we should remember this history, and at the same time thank people like Yang Jian, who let us see the beauty and greatness of human nature.
