Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[The story of Marshal Yue ends here for the time being. In the next issue, we will talk about the story of a child born during Marshal Yue’s fourth Northern Expedition.

So before the end of this issue, I would like to talk about the Kingdom of Jin, which is a very special dynasty in Chinese history.

Because in the two thousand years from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, if we seriously calculate, the Jin Kingdom was the only farming regime that was completely and completely wiped out by the nomadic grassland regime.

From the beginning to the end, Mongolia did not rely on the military power or institutional reform of any other regime to eliminate the Jin Kingdom. It relied purely on the power of the grasslands to eliminate the Jin Kingdom. This is relatively rare in history. It is not difficult to find the weak nature of the Jin Kingdom after peeling off this layer of clothing. .

After Yue Fei's fourth Northern Expedition, Han Chang's theory of changing the situation between the north and the south was based on the premise of the rapid corruption of the Jin Kingdom's elite.

The Battle of Soushan and Jianhai was actually the last afterglow of the elite of the Jin Kingdom. Afterwards, Meng An Mouke of the Jin Kingdom began to enjoy the fruits of victory from the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Destroy Xiliao? Destroy the Southern Song Dynasty? Destroy Xixia? How can these be compared to eating, drinking, enjoying and being comfortable at home?

"I have been fighting all my life, why can't I enjoy it? Then play music and dance!" by Liu Bei.

So it’s no wonder that Jin Wushu’s military fraud against the Southern Song Dynasty in the Battle of Huaixi was a great success. After all, there were many people in the Jin Kingdom who just wanted to be rich and safe, just like Wanyan Gou. It was true that Wanyan Gou’s psychology was touched. Transparent.

In addition, being extremely politically naive and lacking a stable ideology were also the reasons why the Jin Kingdom died so suddenly.

This is actually not difficult to understand. The representative figure is Yelu Yujun.

Yelu Yujun, a clan member and general of the Liao Kingdom, was directly forced to surrender by Emperor Tianzuo's cunning maneuvers, and to show his loyalty, he became a vanguard in destroying the Liao Dynasty.

Such a figure should have been the key figure for the Jin Kingdom to win over the Khitan people, but the fierce enemies of the Jin Kingdom simply ignored the various achievements of Yelu Yujun, the leader of the party, and refused to reward or reward them. In the end, they also wanted to Forcibly moving the Khitan people to Liaodong to farm, forcing Yelu Yujun to defect from the Jin Kingdom again, worsening the relationship between Daijin and the Khitan.

The Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom were actually a fishing and hunting civilization that originated in Liaodong. Without the help of the Khitans, they were naturally unable to rule the grasslands. As a result, the rise of the Mongols was not hindered at all.

Don’t the Khitans know that another nomadic nation has emerged on the grassland? Of course I know, but even if the Khitans love Dajin, Dajin never loves the Khitans. In this case, the Khitans don't mind being the vanguard of Mongolia and chasing the Jin Kingdom.

Ideology is even simpler. In fact, looking back at the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were able to extend their power to the grasslands, the commonly used method at that time was a mixture of Hu Feng and Han Yun, that is, "Han Chinese people" and "Hu people Han people" worked together to achieve success. The advantages of both sides are combined, and ultimately the effect of a civilized spirit and a barbaric body is achieved as the teacher once said.

The early Sinicization faction of the Jin Kingdom was dominated by Jin Wushu. In the end, the whole group tended to Sinicize but persisted in the old Jurchen customs. In the end, they took advantage of the shortcomings of both the Han and Hu sides, achieving the effect of barbarizing their spiritual civilization and physical body, and eventually the country perished.

If the perspective dimension continues to be increased, Jin Guo actually had a very good opportunity at that time.

They originated in Liaodong. Among the six capitals they established, Zhongdu (Yanjing), Shangjing (now Heilongjiang), Dadingfu (now south of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia), and Tokyo (now Liaoyang) are all located in or quite close to the Songliao Plain.

At the same time, the climate is also in the last 150 years of warm period before the Little Ice Age, which is almost the same as the climate in the early Tang Dynasty.

Needless to say, the status of the Songliao Plain is one of the three largest black soils in the world, one of the most fertile soils in nature, and the most precious agricultural resource in human history. Even our country officially legislated to protect it a few years ago, regardless of its rarity. It is also the most fertile in the world.

Compared with the Wu Plain and the Mississippi Plain of the same period, the Songliao Plain is the closest piece of black land to the center of civilization, and it is also the easiest to develop.

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin had actually solved the difficulties in developing this black land:

Through war, the embarrassing situation of the Songliao Plain located at the intersection of farming, fishing, hunting, and nomadic civilizations was solved, and the problem of insufficient population was solved through plunder.

At the same time, we have encountered a warm period that is rare in hundreds of years, and there is no need to worry about the extremely cold climate for a hundred years.

Modern archaeologists have also discovered hundreds of walled cities from the Liao and Jin Dynasties on this black land, which is also evidence that the Jin Kingdom developed the black land.

But in the end, due to the extremely unstable political environment within the Jin Kingdom and the changing political center, coupled with the fact that Jin Xuanzong later moved south to Kaifeng under the threat of Mongolia, the development of this treasure land came to an end.

In terms of managing farming, it was not as good as the Southern Song Dynasty, and in terms of integrating nomadism, it was not as good as Mongolia. Even the management of nomadic people was not as good as the later Qing Dynasty, so the demise of the Jin Kingdom was considered natural. 】

In the Bianliang Hall, the broken chair legs and buttocks hit each other. The feeling that reached his head made Zhao Guangyi straighten his back. He raised his head unconsciously and saw a long sentence floating on the light screen:

〖Zhang Fei: Sigh! A rat wants a skinned dog to guard the house. What you, Zhao Song, a maidservant, can do is worse than a dog or a rat! Shu Zi eats dog shit. When Nai Gong left Zhuojun, he should have brought out the ancestors of your Zhao and Song Dynasties. If he died fighting the thieves in Xuzhou, Xinye, it would be considered a good deed for the people of Zhao and Song Dynasties!

Zhang Fei: Zhao Da, if you can't clean up your brother who was born in Louzhu Aiji, you should tell me who your ancestor was during the Ruhan Dynasty. I, the general who conquered the captives, might as well just change his surname to Wanyan and save future generations from waiting for you. Who cares about the names of our descendants?

It's easy to scold, but the reflex arc is a bit longer, follow!

Clicked! I can't understand this curse. 〗

Zhao Guangyi naturally has no trouble reading it. Who can understand the words about the birth of a maid, and the fact that Lou pig and mugwort are mated to a female pig and a male pig?

Then his face suddenly turned red, and he was about to spit out a few curse words, but in the end he was beaten back by the elder brother with a ruthless stick, which turned into a bone-breaking wail:

"Ouch...brother, that pig-killer Zhang Fei is scolding you!"

Zhao Kuangyin turned a deaf ear and slapped his brother with two sticks with his backhand until he even had the strength to wail and said:

"This Marquis Huan's curse words are still lacking."

Throwing away the chair leg in his hand, Zhao Kuangyin moved his body and immediately felt that the imbalance in his chest was dissipated along the broken leg of the chair.

He immediately turned his head and asked Zhao Pu as if nothing happened:

"Then the climate maps shown to us by previous and later generations...are there any more?"

Zhao Pu nodded, then without looking at his feet, he took out a thin page of paper from the bookshelf next to the chamberlain, unfolded it, and sent it to Zhao Kuangyin.

Then the monarch and his ministers stared at the cooling situation at the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, frowning and talking in low voices.

Liu Han, who was next to him, realized later. He thought about the content of the curse signed by Zhang Fei and then looked at the King of Jin who collapsed in a ball at the official's feet. He suddenly felt a little shocked:

Based on this meaning, did the King of Jin really seize the throne?
