There is a saying that absolute power is corrupt, but it seems to be the norm in the world that the greater the power, the more it becomes unstoppable when it goes crazy, and it is often ridiculous in a nation where power is concentrated. It is the same in the past and present that a monarch appears.
Above all, the madness of the Chinese and Roman emperors is not an ordinary division of power, but an on-parade of crazy emperors.
This time, let's take a look at Hou Jing, the "Space General" who was born in the Wei Jin North and South Dynasties, which is particularly crazy.
Confused Wei Jin North and South Dynasties
The Wei Jin North and South Dynasties are famous among world history enthusiasts as a period with many crazy monarchs in the history of China.
It can be said that the origin of such a situation lies in the Three Kingdoms.
I don't think many people know the story of the Three Kingdoms after Komei's death, but to explain it very simply, the coup d'etat that Sima Yi caused against Wei succeeded and his grandson Sima Yi Founded the unified dynasty Jin by unifying the three countries.
When a new dynasty is born in China, it often takes advantage of the reflections of the previous dynasty. Han was destroyed by the group male division because he gave too much power to the local lords. There, Emperor Wu Jin placed his clan's affairs in rural areas to study the subject of imperial power, but this raised another issue.
The Sima clan began to fight each other over the emperor's succession rights. The War of the Eight Princes, which appears in history textbooks, is a typical example, and thanks to that, national power has declined. Due to the long-standing Sangokushi, the population has decreased sharply, and according to statistics, there is even a study that the population has decreased to one tenth, and the Han Chinese as a whole has decreased dramatically.
It was the five surrounding ethnic groups called the Five Barbarians that took notice. Those who appear in the Three Kingdoms of Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang come to invade one after another, seeing this as an opportunity.
During the Three Kingdoms era, there were strong people such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so I couldn't do anything about it. It is Eika's turbulence that appears in history textbooks.
After that, the survivors of the Sima clan founded Eastern Jin in Jiankang, which was once the capital of Wu. ..
From the Three Kingdoms era to the formation of the next unified dynasty, it is divided into the first half of the Sixteen Kingdoms era and the second half of the Wei Jin North and South Dynasties.
Let's take a look at Hou Jing, which caused further confusion in a time when the introduction was long but confused.
From Northern Wei to Liang
The birth of Hou Jing is not clear, but it seems that the origin is not Han Chinese. In this era, the ethnic groups called the Five Barbarians began to live the same way as the Han Chinese due to the Han Chinese policy, and mixed races were also progressing. Perhaps I didn't really care about that area around this time. Being from the XX family means that you are from XX junior high school.
Hou Jing seems to have made an outstanding appearance under the military commander Erzhu Rong of the Northern Wei, but unfortunately the Northern Wei split into the west and the east and was dispatched to the Henan area as the eastern general.
From around this time, he seemed to have a strong tendency to rise up and rebelled against Eastern Wei. He naturally failed and decided to go into exile in Liang, a Han Chinese country. Liang often accepted such a person. The north is terrible, but the south is also mostly characteristic of this era, and the characters are generally crazy.
Hou Jing challenged Eastern Wei again, but he was easily defeated. After that, what did he get lost in? One of the royal family of Liang was tempted to attack Jiankang with him.
In response to this, Liang goes to the Siege operation, but the food runs out and a consensus is reached once, but Hou Jing attacks Liang again. I don't think Lu Bu is so messy, but Hou Jing wins the battle as it is. I think Liang is just how weak, but the situation in the city at that time was so terrible that I couldn't write it here. Hell was a state that made us realize that it was in this world, not underground.
Thus, the last fort of the Chinese nation was destroyed by an unfamiliar old man who came from Eastern Wei, but I wondered if Hou Jing, who was neither a royal family nor anything, could become a monarch. Space General Is calling himself.
Space general. This man is the only one in the east and west who gave such a name without embarrassment. Although he is in the state of a space general (laughs), no one could stop the runaway of this man. Seeing that he didn't listen to the Emperor Jianwen, he set up another emperor, and he became the emperor himself after receiving a form of Shan Rang.
However, there was no reason for such unreasonableness to continue for a long time, and he was easily defeated by the royal family of Liang. This man who is basically vulnerable to battle (^^;)
After that, he was easily killed by his own subordinates.
There is no evaluation or shit of Hou Jing
In a word, it's just a fool.
He is a completely instinctively alive human being, and can be said to be a dark man rarely seen in history. The reason why such a mediocre person could become an emperor even for a while was because the country of Liang was lacking in cohesion, and like Jin, there was always a battle for successors between the royal families.
There was no reason for such a country to last long, and the beams would be destroyed only six years after Hou Jing died. Moreover, it is scary because four emperors took the throne in the meantime.
