Chapter 554 Former Qin
However, after his grand pronouncements, what awaited him was not the future he had envisioned.
"Ma Qiu was originally a general of the Later Zhao Jie tribe. He was cruel by nature. According to records, if a child cried, the mother would scare the child by saying 'Ma Qiu is coming,' and the child would naturally stop making a sound." (Taiping Guangji)
"The reason I'm bringing this up is closely related to Fu Hong's fate."
"As for Ma Qiu, after the collapse of Later Zhao, he was summoned back by Ran Min to strengthen the defenses, but unexpectedly, he encountered the Di army and was captured."
"Fu Hong thought this kid was quite capable, so he didn't kill him."
"Even without any reservations, he kept him by his side as a strategist and general, but unexpectedly, this action directly led Fu Hong to the end of his life."
The crowd of Wanchao: Good heavens, he lost his life trying to save a talent.
“Ma Qiu once said that Ran Min and Shi Di have not yet determined a victor, so it would be better to take Guanzhong first… Fu Hong once agreed with this and regarded him as one of his own, but unfortunately, you are on his side, but he is outmaneuvering you!”
"So, Ma Qiu held a Hongmen Banquet, intending to kill Fu Hong and then take the opportunity to annex the Di people. He wanted to advance and compete for the Central Plains. The plan sounded a bit unreliable. Fu Hong had been a powerful figure in the martial world for so many years, how could he have believed him?!"
"But he actually managed to do half of it. Fu Hong didn't suspect anything and drank the poisoned wine. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. But Fu Jian reacted quickly and immediately sent Ma Qiu to heaven."
"Life is short, and Fu Hong left his son Fu Jian with a piece of advice: Originally, I wanted to pacify the Central Plains and then enter Guanzhong, but I was implicated by Ma Qiu and there is no time left. After I leave, you should quickly enter Guanzhong."
Now everyone understood. Every single one of them wanted to advance and vie for supremacy in the Central Plains. And damn it, the Sima family of the Western Jin Dynasty had given them a chance to "become kings!"
In the past, Guanzhong was the place where the Han Chinese dynasty should have risen to power, but now it has been occupied by the Hu people. How can people not sigh with regret!
……
"Fu Jian, however, believed that it was not appropriate to make a big show of it at this time, so he first revoked his father's title of King of the Three Qin, indicating that he was willing to submit to the Eastern Jin again and accept their appointment."
"Fu Jian kept a low profile and quietly paid attention to the situation in Guanzhong. In 350 AD, the one occupying Chang'an was Du Hong, a former general of the Later Zhao. Seeing that the Later Zhao would not last long, this fellow also wanted to advance, so he called himself the General Who Conquers the North and the Governor of Yongzhou of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
"In some ways, the Eastern Jin court was frantically expanding its territory, using it as an excuse!"
In another timeline, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court smiled on the outside but were cursing inside! What's going on? Do they have a lot of "loyal ministers"???
Great, great, great! I woke up to find that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is about to unify the country! I had no idea!!
"Just when Fu Jian was eyeing Guanzhong, the Later Zhao Shi offered him a batch of positions, which he accepted. He then stayed in Fangtou and refused to leave. Although this was only a temporary way to deceive his opponents, he did not just talk the talk. For example, he urged his subordinates to farm, and anyone who refused to plant wheat was beheaded by Fu Jian and displayed to the public!"
Soldiers: You have a little plan in your heart, but you didn't tell us!
"Just when Du Hong and the Later Zhao were letting their guard down against the Di people, Fu Jian ordered everyone to march west, splitting into several routes to enter Guanzhong. Du Hong's side did not take it seriously at first, until the Di army came to the city gates, and then Chang'an fell, and Du Hong fled in panic."
"At this moment, Fu Jian completed the task entrusted to him by his late father. The Di people entered Guanzhong, and in the first month of 351 AD, Fu Jian proclaimed himself the Heavenly King of Great Qin, the Great Chanyu, and established the state as Great Qin, with the reign title Huangshi."
First Emperor, Ancestral Dragon: ? ? ?
People from other timelines: How come this person seems to have some connection to Qin Shi Huang, yet also seems to have none?
