Throughout the ages, heroes are not found, Sun Zhong plots. Dance hall song stage, the wind is always blown, the rain blows away. Slanting grass trees, ordinary alleys and strange, humane slaves once lived. Think of that year, Jinge iron horse, swallowed like a tiger. - "Yong Yu Le Jingkou Beigu Ting Huaigu" Xin abandoned the disease.
The "slave" here is Liu Yu, the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and Xin Shuyi commented that he was "like a tiger".
Mention the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Yu, for the public is actually not so familiar with the public, the reason is nothing more than two points, one is that although Liu Yu is fierce, he is not the founding emperor of the Great Unification Dynasty; the other is that Liu Yu is in the chaotic period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which has a low sense of existence, so naturally he has a very low sense of existence.
However, Liu Yu's Wenzhi martial arts are actually no less than those of the founding emperor of the Great Unification Dynasty, but they are somewhat helpless at the wrong time, so the sense of existence is relatively low.
So how fierce is Liu Yu, today Song Anzhi said.
In terms of martial arts, after Liu Yu seized power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, since 409 AD, he has launched two Northern Expeditions, destroying Southern Yan before and after, breaking Northern Wei, and later Qin, recovering Shandong, Henan, Guanzhong, and other places, restoring Luoyang and Chang'an, and along the way being invincible, creating the "But Moon Array" with infantry and cavalry, almost succeeding in the Northern Expedition, which is the result of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that has not been achieved for more than a hundred generations of masters for more than a hundred years, like Zu Ti, who smelled chickens dancing, and did not achieve the results of Liu Yu. It can be said that Liu Yu almost achieved the success of the first Northern Expedition nearly a thousand years ahead of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
The reason why Liu Yu finally failed was because when he was preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue a drum to flatten the north, Liu Muzhi, who was sitting in the rear, died of illness, and Liu Yu was afraid of a fire in the backyard, so for the sake of safety, he could only return to the dynasty.
After Liu Yu returned to his division, Chang'an was regained and lost more than a year later, but the whole territory east of Tongguan, south of the Yellow River and Shandong had been included in the territory of Liu Song, which was "seven points of the world, and there were four of them", and later generations commented that "since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has expanded the territory, and has not been able to reach it".
The Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty established by Liu Yu was the largest dynasty in the southern dynasty territory.
Later, Liu Yu also wanted to go north, but Liu Yu died of illness after only 3 years of reign, and the northern expedition naturally did not end, becoming a major regret in history, otherwise with his talent, it is very likely that the Northern Expedition will succeed.
In the case of Wenzhi, Liu Yu is not only not inferior in military ability to the founding emperors of the Great Unification Dynasty, but also his ability to govern the country is second to none, although he is after Liu Jiao, the king of Han and Chu, it is likely that he was born after becoming famous, because of the celebrity effect.
And whether it is really after the King of Chu Yuan, anyway, to Liu Yu's generation, their family is already extremely poor, is the standard Hanmen Shu clan, according to historical records, he was just born, his mother died of illness, his father was unable to find a nursing mother, he wanted to abandon him, or the neighbors looked at him pitifully, and just gave birth to a child with breast milk, reached out to help, he survived, opened his magnificent and wonderful life.
In terms of starting point, Liu Yu and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang are general, even lower than it, because the Eastern Jin Dynasty he is in is the world of the door valve family, and the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is "the king and the horse share the world", this situation is simply, not only the imperial throne is hereditary system Other people have no chance to get involved, the following important positions, are also controlled by the door valve family, is a small range of feng shui rotation, today your family to sit, tomorrow my family to sit, and then in layman's terms, is the class solidification is particularly serious, people from the Hanmen Shu ethnic group, As soon as you are born, the upper limit is decided, even if you are talented, at most you can be a petty official, and those prominent official positions will not be your turn.
It was in this environment that Liu Yu rose step by step, grasped the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then grasped the great power, and finally established the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Jin Dynasty, establishing the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, which had the largest territory and the most powerful national strength among the Southern Dynasties.
What is rare and valuable is that Liu Yu, because he was born poor and knew the hardships of the people, did not live a luxurious life after becoming emperor, but was pure-hearted and widowed, and was light on thin endowments, abolished harsh laws, greatly improved the social situation at that time, ended the era of the dictatorship of the door valve, and laid the political pattern of the Southern Dynasty", so that people from the cold door also had a head start, and were praised by the Ming people Li Zhen as "the king of the chaos and rejuvenation".
It can be said that Liu Yu is Wen Tao Wuluo, as the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, even if he looks at the emperors of successive dynasties, he is also one of the best.
However, Liu Yu's misfortune lies in the fact that in the case of the Northern Expedition, first his confidant Liu Muzhi died of illness, fearing that the backyard would catch fire and could only give up the good situation, and then wanting to go north again, but he died of illness in the day and night.
For future generations, his descendants had more mentally unhealthy generations, so the Southern Song Dynasty did not last long, only 59 years of guozuo.
This can be said to be his greatest misfortune, with a starting point that can no longer be lower, laying a foundation of "seven points of the world, and there are four of them", if future generations follow a little bit of one or two heroes and great masters, it is not impossible to unify the world, so his historical positioning will not be limited to this.
Like the Qing Taizu Nurhaci, as a rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, he has been fighting for many years, and until his death, it is only a small scale, not even Guanwai is unified, it is his son Emperor Taiji unified Guanwai, it can be said that Nurhaci's achievements are not small, but compared to Liu Yuchao is too far, but the descendants are male masters, first the Emperor Taiji unified Guanwai, surrendered Korea and Mongolia, and then the fourteenth son Dolgun led the Qing army into Guanguan as a regent, making it a national power, although after the sudden death of Dolgun, the pro-government Shunzhi Emperor was relatively incompetent But it is not a mediocre talent, after the Shunzhi Emperor reigned for 61 years, the Kangxi Emperor, who reigned for 61 years, completely consolidated the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so that it did not become a short-lived dynasty like the Yuan Dynasty, and in this case, nurhaci's historical positioning naturally rose.
Therefore, from this point of view, Liu Yu, the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, was actually quite depressed, and he counterattacked all the way, but he was only one step away from true success, and he laid a great world by himself, but the descendants did not argue and only maintained a reign of 59 years.
However, the Southern Dynasty Song also had a special problem it faced, that is, to face the continuous regurgitation of the Door Valve family, and Liu Yu did not treat the last emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty kindly, but killed him, setting a very bad precedent, in this case, the Liu Song imperial family from the Cold Gate, faced a hidden challenge that can be imagined, and in the end, the last emperor of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty also ended up with a desolate end of being killed.
The problem of the door valve family was not really solved until the Tang Dynasty, with the fair form of talent selection of the imperial examination system, absorbed a large number of talents from the middle and lower classes into the ruling class.
