Xie An , the third son of the founding of Eastern Jin , Xie An , Xie An is the Minister of Rites, and Xie An can be said to be a second generation of officials with a strong and righteous root. It can be said that Xie An is the most perfect man in history. He comes from a famous family and looks handsome. He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He can dominate the world with literature and martial arts, and can stabilize the country. He cannot find any shortcomings.
Xie An was not only a noble child and a second-generation official, but also a romantic celebrity at that time. A poetry meeting was held in Lanting. Liushang Qushui wrote the preface to the Lanting Collection. Xie An also participated, but because , Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was good at , it was recorded by Wang Xizhi. Xie An is a star comparable to Wang Xizhi, and is not inferior to his status and talent.
The politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the naked aristocratic politics, and almost all the government was controlled by the aristocratic families. The major families not only emerged in large numbers, but also had a lot of money and land, and had many servants and even their own army.
Jin Ming Emperor In order to weaken the power of the aristocratic family, Sima Shao wanted to seize the military power of the aristocratic family, but he forced the general Wang Dun to rebel. When Wang Dun's rebels attacked Jiankang , Wang Dun suddenly died of illness in the military tent, resulting in the failure of the uprising. Otherwise, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would have perished decades ahead of schedule.
The Wang family failed in rebellion and the Wang family's strength was greatly damaged. The emperor deprived the Wang family of military power and began to be more careful of the aristocratic families and firmly controlled the military power in the hands of the emperor. Although the Wang, Xie, Yuan and Xiao families have emerged in many talents, they have always strictly controlled military power.
Although Xie An is a second-generation official, he does not want to rely on his identity as an official. The court summoned Xie An to take office many times, but Xie An refused many times. In order not to be summoned, Xie An specially ran to Dongshan in Kuaiji County, .
During the days of seclusion in the green mountains, Xie An often traveled with famous scholars and monks such as Wang Xizhi, Xu Xun , and Daolin in the mountains, fished and hunted, and recited poems and essays. Therefore, Xie An's reputation became more and more famous.
Although Xie An was not in the court, the other children of the Xie family in the family have become officials. Xie An's younger brother Xie Wan is an army general. Xie Wan was demoted to a commoner after failing to fight the Northern Expedition, and the strength of the Xie family gradually weakened. At this time, Xie An, who was already 40 years old, came out to the government in order to preserve his family's power and served as the Sima of the army for Huan Wen . This is also the origin of the idiom "re-making a comeback".
The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fought openly and secretly with the aristocratic families, and the government made a mess. At this time, after decades of chaotic conquests in the north, Fu Jian unified the Hus in the north and destroyed all the Wei and Yan countries. In 383 AD, Fu Jian assembled a million troops and began to march south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, hoping to annex the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop and unify the world.
At this time, the military situation was tense, and the little emperor appointed Xie An as the commander-in-chief of the expedition to resist the Qin army, so there was a famous " Battle of Feishui " in history, which defeated the more with less. Xie An was not panicked, but sent his nephews Xie Xuan , Xie Yan and others to lead 80,000 troops to resist, and returned to the villa in Zhongshan to play chess with his good friend.
Eastern Jin and Former Qin fought a decisive battle at Feishui . As a result, 80,000 soldiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated Fu Jian's millions of troops. The battle of Feishui has also been passed down several idioms: the wind and cranes and the grass and trees are all soldiers. I remember that I learned the Battle of Feishui in elementary school texts. I still can’t figure out how the 80,000 troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the 1 million army. You should know that in the era of cold weapons, we rely on many people to fight wars.
I have to say that Xie An is so lucky that he can win 10 times the enemy without going to fight in person. Later I found out that " Jin Shu " was compiled by Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty, and then I understood what was going on. Fang Xuanling is a loyal fan of Xie An, so of course he has to brag about his idol.
The Battle of Feishui took place in 383. The Book of Jin was issued an edict in the 20th year of Zhenguan (646). It was a total of 263 years apart. Just like today someone writes the 24-year history of Qianlong, it is estimated that the specific war has long been beyond recognition.
