Chapter 4 Why did Jin die?

Yang Ming woke up faintly and saw that except for himself, more than a hundred soldiers around him were all tied up, with dejected expressions on their faces. He couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, so he stood up and shouted angrily: "I, Yang

As a descendant of the Yang family, I will never surrender to the enemy!"

"Hmph~!" Jin Yuehua, who was standing next to Yunfeng, sneered: "Yang Ming, although you are the step-grandson of Taifu Yang, you are also a member of the Yang clan. Think back to those days, when Taifu was famous and benevolent throughout the world! Looking back on you

Yang Ming is willing to be a bandit! This is really ridiculous! Sigh! Sad! Even though I am a woman, I am ashamed of you!"

"You~! Huh! I won't care about women!" Yang Ming was hit by Jin Yuehua's weak point. He was shaking with anger and stared at her fiercely. It took him a long time to come up with such a sentence. But in an instant, he suddenly faced

Se changed drastically, pointed at Jin Yuehua and said: "You...you are actually a Hun?"

There were subtle differences in appearance between the Xiongnu and Han people at that time. Yunfeng did not notice it, but it was because the Han people in later generations had gone through the great ethnic integration of the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and already had the genes of the nomadic people outside the Great Wall in their blood, and they also had the appearance of the two.

Characteristics. Therefore, in his opinion, Jin Yuehua and Liu Yueru were no different from the beauties he had come into contact with in his previous life. But it was different in Yang Ming's eyes. After a closer look, he immediately realized that Jin Yuehua was his most beautiful woman.

Hated Huns!

Yunfeng was not happy with Yang Ming's scolding. Would he be happy if he called him a woman? He could basically guess why Yang Ming hated the Huns. He immediately said with a heavy face: "Yang Ming, you

Don't talk dirty. She is just a prostitute who trapped Luoyang, defeated Chang'an, killed Emperor Huai, and captured Emperor Min. What does it have to do with her? Don't overturn a boat of people with one pole. Fighting and fighting are men's business.

Don’t bring women into this!"

"Hmph~!" Yang Ming said with a face full of hatred: "I would be ashamed to associate with the Huns!" After saying that, he tilted his head and moved it to the side.

Yunfeng was really angry at this time and cursed: "Damn you, if you dare to keep your mouth dirty again, believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue right now?"

Seeing Yunfeng protecting herself in this way, Jin Yuehua couldn't help showing gratitude in her eyes, but she shook her head at Yunfeng.

But Yunfeng also shook his head at her, making Jin Yuehua confused. Her original intention was to persuade Yunfeng to be patient and not to delay recruiting Yang Ming because of her. Just when she was guessing Yunfeng's intentions, Yunfeng saw

He turned to Yang Ming, who put on an awe-inspiring look, and continued: "Yang Ming, you hate the Huns so much, you must think that the Jin Dynasty died at the hands of Liu Cong. Is my guess wrong?"

"That's right! But our Jin Dynasty has not been destroyed, and we have supported half of the country in the southeast!" Yang Ming shouted, pulling his neck.

"Okay, okay!" Yunfeng waved his hand and said: "I won't argue with you on this point. What I want to talk to you about is Emperor Min and the Jin Kingdom before him, not counting Jiangdong for the time being. If you can convince me that Jin died at the hands of the Xiongnu,

So what if I let you and the others go? On the contrary, you must submit to me. Do you dare to argue with me? However, if you are unconscionable, you should make another argument."

"Why don't you dare? I'm also worried about your excuses!" Yang Ming then repeated the same old trick, saying that it was all about conquering two capitals, capturing Emperor Shi, and killing so many people.

.

After speaking impassionedly, Yang Ming looked sideways at Yunfeng.

Jin Yuehua didn't guess much about Yunfeng's intentions at this time, but she was very curious, what could Yunfeng say? Not only her, but everyone around her looked at Yunfeng with their ears pulled.

Yun Feng looked around, smiled slightly and said: "Why did Jin die? Was it the righteousness of the refugees, internal strife, attacks by foreign tribes, or the desertion of the nobles? I think that the desertion of the nobles was the main cause of its demise!"

"That's nonsense!" Yang Ming said disdainfully.

Yunfeng looked at him and continued: "Since Chen Qun presented the nine-level Zhongzheng system to Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, the gentry has basically monopolized political power and become a noble family. For example, the Donghai Wang family (since Wang Lang was appointed as Wei Situ),

The Pingyuan Hua family (started from Hua Xinshi Taiwei), the Hedong Pei family (started from Pei Qian's appointment as Shangshu Ling), etc. On the one hand, the gentry advocated metaphysics and advertised being broad-minded and carefree. On the other hand, they were extremely extravagant and tried their best to oppress poor families and all people

People at the bottom of ethnic society.

It is said that since the gentry is the ruling class, they should protect the Sima clan, so why should they abandon the Sima clan? Just listen to me. People's hearts are not enough, and the expansion of power has made the gentry's ambitions unlimited. They want to get rid of the shackles of imperial power, or even replace them.

!The Sima family succeeded the Wei Dynasty. With this precedent set, it coincided with the Eight Kings Rebellion that seriously weakened the Sima family's strength. All the major noble clans couldn't help but have their thoughts moved. At the same time, massive refugee uprisings occurred one after another in the country.

For their own sake, the gentry had to consider the possibility of easing class contradictions. How to ease it? Instead of recuperating with the people and reviewing their own gains and losses, the gentry turned class contradictions into national contradictions! In addition, the rise of Han tribes such as Xunxi made

The nobles were frightened and worried that their dominance would be threatened.

Therefore, the gentry abandoned the north, established a new political power in Jiangdong that conformed to their own will, and gave up the great rivers and mountains in the north to the foreigners! If you don't want it yourself, can you blame others for moving in? Therefore, the gentry are called national scholars, but they are actually traitors to the country!" said

At this point, Yunfeng's voice became high-pitched and passionate.

"Absurd, ridiculous! It's full of nonsense, full of nonsense!" Yang Ming was so angry that he pointed at Yunfeng's nose and cursed.

Yunfeng smiled coldly, pushed his hand away and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Mr. Yang, please rest for a moment and listen to my analysis. There are three steps for the nobles to ruin the Jin Kingdom:

The first is to control Jiangdong, represented by Wang Yan, who used himself to live in Taiwei, and installed his younger brother Wang Cheng as the governor of Jingzhou, and his younger brother Wang Dun as the governor of Qingzhou. He once said, "You two live outside, and you are the center. This is a cunning rabbit with three holes."

What's ridiculous is that the leader of the gentry was eventually captured by Shi Le and placed under a wall, pushed against the wall and smashed to death! However, this arrangement laid the foundation for the current situation of "king and horse sharing the world" in Jiangdong.

At the same time, the Jiangdong gentry invested money and effort to form an elite division, led by Gu Rong and Ji Zhan, to fight against the rebellious peasants and common warriors on their own, often turning the tide of the battle and winning the great victory of "Three Fixed Jiangnan".

The Jiangdong gentry were very powerful. However, the Jiangdong gentry ignored the crisis in the north. If Gu Rong, Ji Zhan and others sent their troops north to support the Jin court, the two capitals would probably not fall! It should be noted that the Han Dynasty fought three times before conquering Luoyang.

That is to say, the Jin army in the north could still withstand the attack of the Xiongnu army for a long time even though it had few soldiers and lacked food."

Having said this, Yunfeng looked at Yang Ming and found that he had a thoughtful look on his face, so he nodded secretly, paused for a while to give him some time to digest, and then continued: "The second is to find the new emperor.

This emperor must not only be qualified, but also be incompetent and powerless, so as not to threaten the rule of the gentry. Therefore, Wang Dao had a keen eye for treasures and fell in love with Sima Rui.

In line with the needs of the gentry, he was proclaimed emperor. Sima Rui was also the most mediocre and incompetent emperor among the founding emperors of the past dynasties. It can be said that there was no one before and no one will come after him.

In the end, they completely abandoned Jin. In the fifth year of Yongjia (311 AD), the Xiongnu army attacked Luo for the third time. The Jin court was at a critical moment. However, the southern states either waited and watched with troops or sent out "King Qin" symbolically.

.

Wang Dun drank and had sex every day, talking about mysteries and Taoism. Although Wang Cheng sent troops from Jingzhou, he was as slow as a snail. As soon as he heard that the Jingzhou governor Shan Jian was defeated, he rushed back all night. Without foreign aid, Luoyang fell.

Emperor Huai was captured. This was the first time that a Han emperor was captured by a foreigner! Then the Han general Shi Le attacked Xunxi, and Qingyan fell. In the first year of Jianxing (AD 313), Emperor Huai was captured by Shi in Pingyang.

After that, Emperor Min, who was still lingering in Chang'an, ordered Sima Rui, Liu Kun and other 700,000 troops to attack Pingyang in three directions. However, Sima Rui, who was the main force in this battle, was instigated by the nobles and disobeyed the order, causing the Jin court's last line to attack.

The vitality was completely lost. In the fourth year of Jianxing (316 AD), Chang'an fell, and Jinzha was over!

In April of this year, Sima Rui proclaimed himself the emperor in Jiankang, and a new dynasty was established that was completely controlled by the gentry. Since then, the imperial power has declined, the clans have been dictatorial, and the gentry has begun a new rule! If the gentry who rushed south to the south could help the king go north, the local gentry in Jiangdong could

Show the courage to "defeat the south of the Yangtze River three times", fully support the north, innovate politics at the same time, ease class conflicts, and believe that it is still unclear who will win. However, the gentry did not choose this, but sat back and watched the fall of the northern land, which was tragic for our brothers and sisters of the Han family.
