Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky appeared.

[A video will show you how many pitfalls there were in the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty? ]

[In 265 AD, Sima Zhao died suddenly, and his son Sima Yan naturally inherited the title of King of Jin. ]

[At that time, the Cao Wei regime had gone through several generations of changes and was already in turmoil. ]

[Sima Yan witnessed the entire process of Cao Pi replacing the Han Dynasty. In just half a year, he copied the script of the previous dynasty's abdication, ascended the throne in Luoyang, and established the Western Jin Dynasty.]

【The power transition was completed at lightning speed. 】

【The transfer of power appears to be uneventful.】

[It also officially announced that the Western Jin Dynasty entered the historical stage. ]

[However, this unified regime that ended the chaos of the Three Kingdoms left behind the embarrassing label of "the weakest unified dynasty" in the long river of history.]

[Investigating its roots, the Jin Dynasty has been burdened with double shackles since its birth:]

[Not only is it constrained by the inherent defects of its founding genes, but it also has to face the concentrated outbreak of hundreds of years of historical problems. ]

[The Sima family was originally from an aristocratic family, and in the process of seeking power and usurping the throne, they relied on the strong support of the gentry and bureaucrats. ]

[They used conspiracy to seize the world. This original sin of "obtaining the country in an unjust way" has been with them since the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty.]

[In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao told Emperor Ming of Jin about the rise of Sima Yi and the events leading up to Sima Zhao's murder of Wei Emperor Cao Mao.]

[After hearing this, Emperor Ming of Jin was overwhelmed with shame and sighed sadly: "If what you said is true, the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty may not last long."]

[This moral original sin made it difficult for the Western Jin Dynasty to establish true political authority.]

[The collective support of the aristocratic families is more like a contract of interests. 】

Rather than a political identity that comes from the heart.

【Since the founding emperor Sima Yan, the fatal flaws of the Western Jin Dynasty had already become apparent.】

【Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, aristocratic families have gradually risen. 】

[Before the Western Jin Dynasty, they were more or less subject to certain political constraints.]

[However, the Western Jin Dynasty relied on aristocratic families to rise to power, and it became increasingly difficult to effectively restrain them.]

[Those aristocratic families that helped the Sima family seize power had already flourished to the third generation by the Western Jin Dynasty.]

[The nobles indulged in idle talk and metaphysics, and pursued spiritual satisfaction. ]

【They compete with each other in extravagance, but have no sense of responsibility in governing the country. 】

[The farce of Shi Chong and Wang Kai competing for wealth, and the extravagance of He Zeng's daily expenses of ten thousand coins, all reflect the overall corruption of the ruling class.]

[These nobles who grew up in a privileged environment could not understand the hardships of starting a business. ]

[They also disdain to communicate with people from poor families, causing them to become seriously alienated from the people.]

【When the poor scholar Fu Xian cried out that "the cost of luxury is worse than natural disasters." 】

[These rich young men left behind the elegant story of "Visiting Dai on a Snowy Night" in Shishuo Xinyu.]

[This aristocratic politics is out of touch with reality. ]

[It eventually became a joke that goes “Why not eat meat?”]

[Sima Yan himself also performed poorly in summarizing historical experience.]

[He tried to summarize the historical lessons since the end of the Han Dynasty and the Cao Wei Dynasty, but made two wrong decisions. ]

[First, he firmly refused to depose the eldest son and enthronize the youngest son. Sima Yan knew that his eldest son Sima Zhong had intellectual disabilities, but he still adhered to the doctrine of "enthroning the eldest son" and insisted on pushing the mentally retarded Sima Zhong to the throne. ]

[Secondly, in order to prevent the decline of the Cao Wei clan, the large-scale feudal system was implemented in an overcorrection.]

【Twenty-seven princes with the same surname were enfeoffed in strategic locations.】

[These princes who held heavy military power not only controlled the local military and political power, but also formed separatist forces that competed with the central government. ]

[These two decisions seem to be aimed at consolidating rule.]

[In fact, it is an overreaction.]

[This laid the seeds for the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the future.]

【These institutional defects caused the Western Jin Dynasty to bear the various drawbacks left over from the previous dynasty from the very beginning. 】

[It was unable to achieve political and social reforms like other unified dynasties.]

【There is no new and vibrant atmosphere.】

【Instead, as soon as it was established, it fell into a vicious circle of "decline as soon as it was founded." 】

【As the saying goes, “When it rains, it pours.” 】

[While facing internal difficulties, the Western Jin Dynasty also encountered a huge crisis that had been brewing since the Western Han Dynasty.]

【The Hu people entered China.】

[As early as the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to consolidate the frontier defense, the imperial court accepted some surrendered Xiongnu people to move inland and let them serve as a barrier to defend the frontier. ]

【It is called "Bao Sai Nei Fu" in history. 】

[During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people moved to Xihe;]

[During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the Southern Xiongnu participated in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion and migrated further south.]

【After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the imperial court lost its prestige, and the Xiongnu took the opportunity to plunder and stationed in Hanoi. 】

[After Cao Cao unified the north, he divided the Xiongnu into five parts: left, right, south, north, and center, and settled them in the Fen River Basin.]

[In addition, after the Di and Qiang tribes were pacified by Zhao Chongguo during the Western Han Dynasty, they migrated to Jincheng County in Liangzhou;]

[During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao moved them to Guanzhong in order to defend against Shu Han.]

[The Xianbei were originally a branch of the Donghu. After the Donghu were defeated by the Xiongnu, the remnants moved to the Wuhuan and Xianbei Mountains and took these as their tribe name.]

[Because the Wuhuan were close to the border of the Han Dynasty, they were recruited to guard the frontier in Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places;]

[After Cao Cao pacified the Wuhuan who supported Yuan Shao, the Xianbei took over the vast territory in the north after the Xiongnu moved westward and the Southern Xiongnu moved inward.]

[The Jie tribe was a clan tribe of the Xiongnu. They followed the Xiongnu and moved to the interior of the country. They got their name from the Jieshi in Wuxiang, Shangdang.]

[These five ethnic groups, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang, later became the main forces for establishing their own states.]

[Starting from the Western Han Dynasty, the Five Barbarians entered the north one after another, spanning hundreds of years.]

[When the Western Jin Dynasty was founded, there were Xianbei in Liaodong and Liaoxi, Xiongnu in Hedong and Henei, and Xianbei, Di, and Qiang peoples living together in Shangjun and Guanzhong in the north.]

When the commentators saw this, they all started to complain.

《The immortals are as numerous as hemp! 》

"This distribution map...is broken. I have become a Hun."

"What about Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Lombards, Franks, Huns..."

"Just like in the later Rome, the barbarians served as soldiers and migrated inland."

"Emperor Xuan of Han's policies are not working either."

"It was no problem to accept the Southern Xiongnu at that time, but it is ridiculous to blame the Western Han Dynasty for the problems that happened nearly 300 years later. I suggest blaming humans for leaving Africa!"

"It's a pity that Boss Yuan is not here, otherwise Xianbei would not have risen."

……

And outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng watched the video with a frown on his face almost the entire time.

What was pointed out on the sky curtain were the original sins that the Western Jin Dynasty had since its founding, as well as various policies that made people speechless.

In order to cooperate with the Western Jin Dynasty to take over the hidden dangers left by the previous dynasty.

Ying Zheng watched and thought about it and felt that it was a huge trouble.

It looks like he's about to become stuck in two directions.

If the Qin Dynasty had so many problems, then Qin Shi Huang would probably have a mental breakdown!
Fortunately, after all, this is someone else's problem.

Therefore, Ying Zheng was able to maintain a relatively calm attitude, even like watching a show.

Then he said jokingly:
"I have always known that the Jin Dynasty in later generations would be more bleak and worse."

"But I didn't expect... that the Jin Dynasty would be so bad."

"Such a dynasty was born in injustice and will die in disgrace." "It is now basically certain. The Western Jin Dynasty will not do."

The sky continues.

[From Deng Ai in the Three Kingdoms period to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were people who constantly advised against the migration of the Hu people back to the outside of the Great Wall.]

【However, due to many reasons such as frequent domestic wars. 】

[This suggestion has never been put into practice.]

[Before the Five Barbarians problem broke out, the Hexi Corridor had already ignited the flames of conflict between the Hu and Han peoples.]

[The Liangzhou Rebellion led by Tufa Shuji became a preview of the border crisis of the Western Jin Dynasty.]

[As the leader of the Xianbei Tufa tribe, Tufa Shuji's ancestor led his tribe to move to Hexi during the Cao Wei period. By the early Western Jin Dynasty, the tribe had formed a "tens of thousands of troops". 】

[In the sixth year of Taishi (270 AD), Hu Lie, the governor of Qinzhou in the Western Jin Dynasty, implemented a high-pressure ethnic policy.]

[The forced deprivation of the pastures of the Xianbei herdsmen provoked fierce resistance from the Tufa tribe.]

[The rebels quickly captured Jincheng County in Liangzhou and killed Hu Lie at Wanhudui, marking the beginning of a rebellion that lasted for ten years.]

[After that, the Jin army changed its commander four times, spending hundreds of millions of dollars, but still suffered repeated defeats.]

[Although Wen Yang won temporarily, he was unable to completely pacify the rebellion.]

【Tufa Shuji was able to control the entire territory of Liangzhou, and "all the Hu people in the northwest responded to him." There was even a memorial from a court official saying, "The change in Qin and Liang was not just caused by the Rong and Di people, but was actually caused by the border generals' failure to pacify and control the border."】

[Even Sima Yan, the founding emperor and "Emperor Wu", lamented:]

[“In recent years, the two territories of Qin and Liang have been repeatedly defeated. The barbarians are rampant and violent, and the people are suffering. As a result, the alien races have instigated the harm to the Central Plains. Even if the invaders of Wu and Shu were to return, they would never reach this level.”]

【The Western Jin Dynasty almost wanted to give up Liangzhou. 】

[It was not until 279 AD that Ma Long recruited "warriors" and used the Eight Diagrams and the Box Cart Tactics to defeat the rebels in Wuwei and kill Tufa Shuji.]

[Although this nine-year rebellion was put down, it left a deep trauma on the Western Jin Dynasty.]

[It also exposed the weakness of the Western Jin Dynasty's rule and the fighting power of the various Hu tribes that migrated inland.]

【After the Western Jin Dynasty unified the world. 】

[The Han aristocratic families who controlled the government were addicted to corruption and pleasure, keen on metaphysical empty talk, and had no ambition to make progress.]

[He turned a deaf ear to the warnings of Guo Qin, Jiang Tong and others to "move to the military."]

【However, the Hu people who moved to the interior of the country became increasingly united. 】

[In this way, the "Five Barbarians' Invasion of China" gradually evolved into a huge "powder keg." ]

[From the invasion of the Five Barbarians into China, the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China was about to happen at any time.]

[The outbreak of the Eight Kings Rebellion was like a fuse that ignited a powder keg, ultimately pushing the Western Jin Dynasty into the abyss of destruction.]

……

The video ends here.

Barrages of comments appeared one after another.

"Jin is really rotten from beginning to end."

"The Sima family broke the backbone of the Han Dynasty and the Five Barbarians, so I won't mention it later."

《It is stupid to dismiss the provincial and county officials and soldiers! 》

"The Jin and Song dynasties were equally miserable. At least the Song dynasty had a prosperous culture, and at least it had Yue Fei and Meng Gong..."

"No matter how bad the Western Jin Dynasty was, it was still a unified country. No matter how rich the Song Dynasty was, it was not a unified country."

"The Three Kingdoms burned out all the heroes, and the Jin Dynasty was full of rats."

"The Jin Dynasty, especially the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had no shortage of famous generals, but the overall atmosphere was too bad."

"The Western Jin Dynasty was not vigorous from the beginning, and this continued until the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen."

"If there had not been the Rebellion of the Eight Princes, there would not have been the Invasion of China by the Five Barbarians."

"The Western Jin Dynasty took the blame for the Han Dynasty."

"The toxins accumulated over the four hundred years of the Qin and Han dynasties cannot be released all at once."

"So whoever is responsible for this will be blamed. The Hu people have been migrating inland for hundreds of years, and sooner or later they will explode!"

"The Eastern Han Dynasty left behind two major risks: local tyrants and the migration of the Hu people."

"The Eastern Han Dynasty's game of passing the flower by thunder-beating drums, it all depends on whose flower explodes last."

《Sima Yan: Oops, there's a big thunder.》

"Cao the thief is talking! Cao Cao gave up the Hexi Corridor and five counties in the north, including Yanmen, just to fight a civil war in the south."

"Boss Cao gave up? Did the imperial court still control the Hexi Corridor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

"The Southern Xiongnu were still loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xian of Han."

"Liu Yuan: Yes! Let the Han Dynasty be great again!"

And outside the sky.

After watching the entire video, Ying Zheng naturally maintained his previous opinion.

And in the Han Dynasty.

After reading it, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, also said:
"It seems that the Five Barbarians' invasion of China in later generations has little to do with me."

"I have tried my best to beat the Huns to death."

"But can my generation completely eliminate the Xiongnu?"

“It is indeed difficult.”

"The emperors of later generations were not able to do well because they were not strong enough and iron-fisted enough."

"I hope that the people of the world can understand me better with the help of this video."

"If you compare them, you can see the difference."

And in the Western Jin Dynasty.

When Sima Yan first watched this video, his mentality collapsed!
Although Sima Yan also knew that his Jin Dynasty was not established in a legitimate way.

There are also a large number of aristocratic families within the organization, which are intertwined and intertwined.

Leading to the country losing its fighting spirit.

But under his dedicated rule, and after the end of the war, the world was peaceful.

It once formed a prosperous scene.

This kind of political achievement also made Sima Yan somewhat proud and complacent.

Feel that you are very strong.

The decline of the Jin Dynasty was also caused by the low level of later generations.

As a result, the current sky curtain not only exposes the so-called Taikang governance on the surface.

He even directly slandered the Jin Dynasty!
So at the beginning, Sima Yan's mentality collapsed!

Fortunately, later on, I saw Tianmu telling the whole story.

In addition, observe the discussions of many netizens.

Sima Yan seemed to have found a life-saving straw and said quickly:

"Look, what can I do?"

"You can't blame me for this."

"This problem of the Five Barbarians invading China was not caused by our Great Jin."

"It was because the previous dynasty was not good enough that our Great Jin took the blame for the Han and Wei dynasties."

"Even if I am 10% responsible, shouldn't Emperor Xuan of Han, Emperor Ling of Han, and Emperor Wu of Wei bear 90% of the responsibility?"

In the court, the other princes and ministers of the Jin Dynasty were also very embarrassed at first.

But now Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, has said so.

They all echoed the sentiment, saying that the Jin Dynasty had tried its best and that it was all the Han Dynasty's fault.

For a moment, the court of the Jin Dynasty was filled with a happy atmosphere... (End of this chapter)
