How tragic was the scene when the Western Jin Dynasty perished?

In the history of China, there was a brief unified dynasty between the Three Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the Western Jin Dynasty. This country lasted only 50 years from 266 to 365,438+06, and in this short 50 years, it also experienced the Eight Kings Rebellion in 65,438+06, and then it was invaded by Xiongnu. It can be said that the days of stability are only 20 years, which is a joke for a unified dynasty.

Western Jin Dynasty (265-3 17)

First, Sima Yi's bloody slaughter of Liao laid a curse.

Sima Yi was the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty. In the late period of Wei Mingdi and Cao Rui, the talents of Wei declined, and there were fewer and fewer military commanders who could fight. So I have to pay attention to Sima Yi. In 237 AD, Gongsun Yuan, the satrap of Liaodong, rebelled, claiming to be the Prince, founding the country and setting up officials. Cao Rui sent Sima Yi to counter the rebellion. After nearly a year of war, Sima Yi captured and killed Gongsun Yuan alive. According to the truth, the culprit can be punished, but Sima Yi can. Watch? .

Sima Yi's army was massacred, and the people in Liaodong, Daifang, Le Lang and Xuantu counties were massacred. Liaodong was empty. Without the Liaodong defense line painstakingly managed for more than 400 years since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people in Northeast China rose rapidly and later became a menace to the Central Plains. For example, Xianbei, which has been plagued for 400 years in the Central Plains, came from the northeast.

Second, the nine-product system leads to up-and-down centrifugation.

Chiang Kai-shek's Nine Grades Zhengzhi originated from the State of Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. This system only looks at birth, not talent. Several generations of noble birth can be officials, while several generations of humble birth have enjoyed many benefits of this system, and even eventually become emperors thanks to this system. However, the Sima family is so obsessed with this system that no matter what they do, they check their origins first and then choose officials.

In the end, the nobles in the Western Jin Dynasty enjoyed superior living conditions, which naturally did not affect the life and death of ordinary people. In the end, the rich people were resplendent and the common people were displaced. Therefore, civil resistance is becoming more and more frequent, and the political foundation is not firm.

Third, Dafeng governors are in constant civil strife.

Sima Yan sealed the kings, the original intention was to let the kings shield the princes of the court. what can I do? Jun Qing? . But in fact, the kings hold the military power and are ambitious. When Sima Yan was alive, they dared not be presumptuous. After Sima Yan's death, the kings rebelled quickly, and a war that lasted for 16 years broke out. You know, the Anshi Rebellion in the eight years of the Tang Dynasty wiped out two-thirds of the country's population, and all the wealth in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan was lost, not to mention the 16 war.

Eight Kings Rebellion

If 16 can play a king of grass, the situation will be stable. For example, after the rebellion of the seven countries in the Han Dynasty, he was still alive and well. The governors of the Western Jin Dynasty rebelled and became emperors purely for pleasure. After they ascended the throne, they began to live a luxurious life, completely ignoring the broken country. Heaven forbid that the Western Jin Dynasty should survive.

Fourth, Sima Yan is corrupt.

Sima Yan, as the first emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, destroyed Wu Dong and achieved national unity. It stands to reason that he will become a leader like Qin Shihuang. However, after unifying the world, he did not make great efforts to promote the country to prosperity, but took the lead in corruption. There are more than 10,000 women in the harem alone, which is a Guinness Book of Records. In addition, in order to maintain a luxurious life, he publicly sells officials and titles, and all levels of official positions are clearly marked. The first thing that people who buy officials do when they turn back is

Sima Yan

At that time, Sima Yan asked Minister Liu Yi, what do you think of me as emperor? Liu Yi said rudely: You are not as good as Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty. The money sold by Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty was turned over to the state treasury, and the money you sold was put into your pocket. It can be seen how disappointed the minister at that time was with this master.

Five, fools come out one by one.

Sima Yi, Sima Shi and Si Mazhao are all extremely clever people, but their descendants are getting more and more stupid. Sima Yan's son Sima Zhong is an idiot, and he has a widely circulated joke. At that time, there was a famine in the world and many people starved to death. Reporting the disaster to Sima Zhong, the silly emperor was puzzled and asked, Why don't people eat meat when they have no food? so this is it？ Why not eat minced meat? Allusions.

Think about it, the ministers in the DPRK are all playboys and the emperor is an idiot. How can such a leader manage such a big country? Sure enough, during the reign of Emperor Sima Zhong of Jinhui, the rebellion of eight kings broke out, and no one in the DPRK could sit idly by and watch the rebellion spread throughout the country.

These five reasons led to a result, that is, the scene of eschatology appeared shortly after the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty. In October of the eighth year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 287), when Sima Yan was still alive, Li Feng, an official of Pinggu County (near Xingguo County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province), led a crowd to attack Nankang County; 1 1 month, Fu Xiao, the county magistrate of Hai 'an (south of enping city, Guangdong), led the ordinary people to revolt; In December, Wu Xingren Di Jiang led the uprising? It can be described as one after another.

The demise of the Western Jin Dynasty is a matter of reason. Poor Sima Yi endured all his life and created a dynasty with only 50 years. It was only the people who suffered. After Sima Ye surrendered to Xiongnu, almost all men in Chang 'an were killed by Xiongnu, and women became their tools for fun. In that dark history, blood dyed the sky of China red.
