Chapter 422 Utopia ([-])
another year later
The 311st winter of the Marquis of Yan ([-])
winter solstice
Pingyang (the capital of the Huns and the Han Dynasty)
Heavy snow fell, and the northern land was completely white.

When the State of Yan had come out of the celebration of the Centennial National Day and began to invest in Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, and was preparing to participate in the competition in the Central Plains, the State of Xiongnu and Han also ushered in a period of great development.

At this time, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom only had three counties: Pingyang County, Xihe County, and Shangdang County. In terms of superficial strength, the current Xiongnu Han Kingdom is not as good as a refugee uprising army in the Central Plains.

However, after Shi Le followed Wang Miao to the Xiongnu Han, he persuaded the Qiang Hu to form an alliance with the Xiongnu and Han.

There are Qiang people, Huhua Han people, Sinic Hu people, Xiongnu people, Xianbei people, and all kinds of mixed blood. Many of them are from Shile's hometown, so they can be persuaded by Shile.

Qianghu's position in the Yuan Zhao period was equivalent to the barbarian autonomous region, allowing the barbarians to gather in the Hetao Plain to thrive and provide stable soldiers for the Central Plains Dynasty. Yuan Zhao repeatedly recruited the Qianghu population to march south.

Sima Yue, king of the East China Sea, died of illness. Wang Yan, the patriarch of his ally Langya Wang family, decided to send [-] troops to escort Sima Yue's coffin out of Luoyang.

On the surface it was to protect Sima Yue's body, but in fact it was because of fear.

The situation in the north is getting worse and worse, all kinds of refugee uprisings are emerging one after another. A few months ago, a group of refugees with tens of thousands of people even attacked near Luoyang.

In this situation, the Langya Wang family really broke away and prepared to flee to the safer south.

Many other aristocratic families have the same idea. Many aristocratic families have sold their properties and brought their families to the south.

There are also two types of aristocratic families, one is the business class, and the other is the academic class.

For example, the Qinghe Cui family, although they also study Confucianism, Confucianism is not their main business. Their main business is to run manor serfs, so they have no way to escape to the south, because if they escape to the south, they will be killed immediately if they do not have an acre of manor. If it is declining, it is better to stay in the north and rely on Wubao to defend itself. The development method of the Cui family in Qinghe is similar to that of the Wang family in Liaodong.

The Wang family of Langya belongs to a family of scholars. Although the family also manages a large number of farmland serfs, it is far inferior to that of the Cui family of Qinghe. Married to the court dignitaries, the family's first daughter is still the empress dowager.

The two families have their own advantages and disadvantages. The business family is not afraid of political enemies. Even if it declines temporarily, it can rely on the family's massive farmland to find opportunities to make a comeback after decades and cultivate new famous ministers.

Once a scholarly family loses in a political struggle, it will die completely, but in the event of war, they can run away at any time without the burden of land and acres.

Langya Wang's family of academics is the family that people in later generations think of as a family.

Therefore, in this incident, which was later called "Yongjia South Crossing", the academic families fled south one after another, while the business families chose to cooperate with the local warlords and even the Hu regime.

The aristocratic families finished harming the common people in the north, seeing that the north could no longer hold on, so they ran to the south and continued to harm the common people in the south.

Poor ordinary people in the north, who have just been harassed by the aristocratic families, will be harassed by the new Hu regime. They will suffer twice and suffer twice.

However, among the many warlord regimes and Hu regimes, the Xiongnu Han Dynasty is the only regime that is currently supported by the people of the Central Plains.

Liu Yuan, the ruler of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, traveled in the Central Plains all the year round and deeply understood the sufferings of the people. Therefore, in recent years, he often implemented benevolent policies, relieved victims, reduced taxes, and so on.

This is why Wang Miao regards Liu Yuan as an enlightened monarch.

"The emperor of the Huns is too bad!" The great families of the Jin Dynasty said angrily.

"What's wrong with him?" Someone asked.

"He actually distributed rations to the victims, which caused many victims in the Central Plains to support him and lead his army to attack the cities of the Central Plains." The aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty were very angry. How could there be such a beastly monarch in the world who would actually distribute rations to the victims? It's just unreasonable.

In the civilized Great Jin Dynasty, the victims could starve to death freely, but in the brutal Xiongnu Han Dynasty, the victims continued to live and suffer.

Liu Yuan, you have done all kinds of bad things!

It is not as good as the death of the Xias to have a king in Yi and Di!
The emergence of a diligent and caring ruler like Liu Yuan in the barbarian regime terrified the Huaxia regime more than the emergence of a brutal ruler.

This is, his hero, my enemy!
Every year, refugees from the Central Plains vote with their feet and spontaneously go to the Huns. A few months ago, there were even 10,000+ refugees in the Central Plains echoing Liu Yuan, hoping that Liu Yuan would come to their hometown to save them.

The 10,000+ Han people actually hoped that a barbarian regime would save them from the Jin Dynasty. This is the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family.

"Wang Yan, Taiwei of the Southern Kingdom, fled to the south with [-] Jin troops. At this time, the Jin army must have lost their morale and had no fighting spirit. They used to hide in Luoyang City, relying on the protection of the city wall to stop us. Now there is no city wall. Protection is a great opportunity for us to annihilate them in one fell swoop, as long as we annihilate the [-] Jin troops, there will be no more elites in the southern kingdom." Emperor Liu Yuan of the Han Dynasty analyzed calmly.

Liu Yuan thought he had inherited the state of Han, so he scornfully called the Jin Dynasty the Southern Kingdom.

Taiwei Wang Yan, for the self-interest of his family, Langya Wang, has placed a large number of relatives in the army. Those who are serious about fighting can't be promoted. Therefore, although the Jin army is well-equipped, its combat effectiveness is low. very bad.

Not only that, Wang Yan also used his privileges to forcefully buy farmland for his family's children in the south in advance, so that they can continue to dominate after they run to the south in the future.

It was against this background that the two brothers Wang Dun and Wang Dao were sent by Wang Yan to develop in the south, paving the way for the entire Langya Wang family to go south in advance.

Wang Miao felt that he had finally found the Utopia. Regardless of whether Liu Yuan was pretending to be benevolent and caring for the people or really benevolent and caring for the people, at least everything Liu Yuan did so far could be regarded as a wise king.

However, only a few months later, his utopia was shattered again.

Liu Yuan died of illness suddenly, and his son Liu He came to the throne. After he came to the throne, he was murdered indiscriminately. Many people were killed on trumped-up charges.

Liu Cong set things right, killed Liu He, and proclaimed himself emperor. However, Liu Cong was not very good.

After Shi Le's cavalry caught up with Wang Yan, they wiped out [-] Jin troops.

The main force of the Jin Dynasty was exhausted, so Liu Cong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, took the opportunity to capture Luoyang and indulged his Huns soldiers to rob Luoyang City.

In the past, the military discipline was strict. Under the leadership of Liu Yuan, the soldiers of the Huns and the Han Dynasty who did not rob, slaughter, or commit adultery finally revealed their true nature after Liu Yuan died of illness. The previous strict military discipline was only temporarily manifested under Liu Yuan's strict military orders. special circumstances.

I thought that as long as I found an enlightened monarch, I could save the world, but it seemed too naive.

An enlightened monarch may not be able to continue to be enlightened in his later years, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, even if he can continue to be enlightened in his later years, his descendants may not necessarily be enlightened, such as Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Therefore, expecting an enlightened monarch to save the common people in the world is nothing more than letting the world fall into the next cycle.

And at this moment in Luoyang City, Baima Temple, a new cycle of reincarnation has begun again.
