In 407, Feng Ba launched a coup and killed Murong Xi, and then Murong Yun, a Goguryeo who supported Murong Bao, was the emperor. The capital of Longcheng still used the title of Yan Guo and was known as "North Yan" in history.
Although the country name is still Yan at this time, this Yan is not Pei Yan, it is no longer the Yan Kingdom of Murong's family, so it is called "North Yan". Through the above dozens of narrations, I probably introduced some basic information about Hou Yan. To be honest, I was very embarrassed to Hou Yan all the way. I have witnessed Hou Yan's strength and rapid destruction of the country. Replaced by Beiyan from Goguryeo Goun!
Houyan came from the former Yan, the founder is the brother of the former Yan Murongjun, Wu Wang Murongchui. We also said that Murongchui is a tragic hero. The establishment of Hou Yan is also a difficult journey along the way. Murong Chui was forced to leave by Qianyan Murongwei, Murong Ping, etc., and was forced to flee to the former Qin Dynasty. Although the former Qin Fujian was still more like Murongchui Trusted, but the former Qin Di nobles and Wang Meng both wanted to get rid of Murongchui. One can imagine Murongchui's situation in Qianyan.
In fact, Murongchui’s position in Qianyan is also very embarrassing. Although his talent has made great contributions to Qianyan, he has not been loved by his elder brother Qianyan Emperor Murongjun since he was a child. Without reusing Murongchui, he is still everywhere. Embarrassing him, maybe it has something to do with the jealousy of their Murong family? Even if Murong Chui won the Battle of Fangtou later, he would not be reused and could not escape to the former Qin Dynasty.
Benefited from the Battle of Fei Shui, Murong Chui re-raised the banner of the Yan Kingdom when the former Qin Empire collapsed. With Murong Chui's continuous battles, Yan also gradually flourished. After eliminating Xi Yan and Zhai Wei Murongchui's Houyan reached the peak, but the peak came and went quickly, and was immediately beaten by the rising Northern Wei Dynasty. The Houyan was also divided into two and returned to his hometown. The reason why the Houyan came and went quickly. Also fast, I think there are several reasons.
First, the internal chaos
The internal chaos can be said to be the tradition passed down by the Murong family. The Murong Ren rebellion started from the former Yan, the Mu Yugen rebellion, the former Yan was founded in the country One of the extinctions is the constant civil strife. The Hou Yan was more severe than the former Yan civil rebellion. After Murong Chui was established, Yan had a rebellion of the Dingling clan. After Murong Bao succeeded to the throne, Murong Lin, Murong Xiang, and Murong Hui waited for the rebellion, and Murong Bao himself was by Duan Sugu. Murong Sheng was killed by the Lan Khan Rebellion, Murong Sheng died in the rebellion, and Murong Xi was destroyed by Feng Ba and Murong Yun's coup.
It can be said that internal fighting accompanied Hou Yan's life. Even at the critical juncture of the war between Hou Yan and the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were rebellions in Hou Yan's army. Frequent internal disturbances constantly consumed Hou Yan's strength and caused panic among the people. I think internal disunity is the most important factor in the demise of Houyan.
Second, the successor
Murongchui, the founder of Houyan, can be said to be a generation of war gods. Because of its existence, the enemy countries dare not easily provoke Murongchui. Murongchui himself It was fierce enough, but the choice of successor was a big mistake. Cai Dongfan’s "The Romance of the Two Jins" said: Murong Chui only skipped over, and the pawn can restore Yan Zuo. It can not be said that he is not a king. His only son is unknown, and he is lost to the prince. treasure. In the era of war and chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms, heirs are very important. Let's see who Murong Chui's successor Murong Bao is. After participating in the Battle of Pei and ruining Yan's nearly 100,000 elites, Yan has been devastated since then.
Hou Yan and Qian Yan are all the same as the monarchs who are brilliant and talented, and the successors are all straws. Murong Murong Bao is weak and incompetent, and his talent is not the material of the monarch in troubled times, but Murong Chui's other sons Murong Nong , Murong Long is a fierce battle-tested, being able to fight in troubled times is the last word. Perhaps Murong Nong and Murong Long led Hou Yan, and Hou Yan would not perish so quickly.
Third, historical trend
Houyan is already in the late period of the Sixteen Kingdoms. At this time, the post-Wei Dynasty in the north has begun to rise, and there is a tendency to unify the north. The north has evolved from the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty. Up to now, there have been wars for nearly a hundred years. The people in the north have suffered countless sufferings and the people have longed for the unity of the north. Therefore, reunification is the inevitable trend of history, and the subjugation of the post-yan kingdom is also the choice of the times. Even if there is no Northern Wei, there will be other regimes leading the reunification of the North, and the world will be in harmony for a long time.
After more than a dozen times, Hou Yan is probably the same. Next time, let’s talk about the basic situation of Bei Yan who replaced Hou Yan. See you or leave!
