In China's five-thousand-year history, the tragedy of the central plains regime being wiped out has occurred more than once. The most well-known is the shame of Jingkang! Before the shame of Jingkang, the first time the Central Plains regime was destroyed by ethnic minority armies was the Yongjia Rebellion in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Huai of Jin, the army of the Xiongnu Han State destroyed the last regular army of the Western Jin Dynasty in the area of Ku county, Liu Yao led his army to attack the capital Luoyang, burned and plundered, did no evil, killed 30,000 ministers and people, captured the Emperor Huai of Jin and the empress Beigui, the Central Plains regime was destroyed, and the remaining Central Plains forces organized a regime with Emperor Jin as the core, but it was already dying, and 5 years later, Chang'an was attacked again, and the Western Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed. The Yongjia Rebellion sounded the death knell of the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and also opened the prelude to the Wuhu Chaos.
The tragic scene of the first destruction of the Central Plains regime in Chinese history occurred in the 5th year of Yongjia, that is, in 311 AD, and the tragic scene was inseparable from the rebellion of the Eight Kings during the period of the idiot emperor Jin Huidi. After the idiot emperor Jin Huidi came to power, his thinking was stupid and weak, which led to Jia Nanfeng's interference in politics, causing dissatisfaction among the kings, and triggering a 16-year-long eight-king scuffle, the main war area of this civil war was in the richest Erjing region, and after the melee, the Western Jin Dynasty only had half a life left. Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu king who moved south, took advantage of the great opportunity of civil strife in the Central Plains to approach the Lüliang mountains of Shanxi, established the Han state in the current Lüliang Lishi in Shanxi, and continued to expand outwardly, and the ethnic minority generals such as Shi Le and Wang Mi in Hebei submitted one after another, and the strength of the Xiongnu Han state further grew, becoming a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Western Jin regime.
Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea who was the last to appear in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, seized real power, poisoned Emperor Hui of Jin, and established another Emperor Huai of Jin, Sima Yue fox fake tiger wei, and Qian Gang was arbitrary, which caused dissatisfaction among Emperor Huai of Jin and the ministers of the court. Sima Yue felt that the capital Luoyang was no longer safe, so in the name of destroying the Shile army in Hebei, he led the 100,000 troops of the Western Jin Dynasty and most of the important ministers of the Imperial Dynasty out of Tunxiang County, resulting in an empty number of troops and bandits in Luoyang. In 311, Emperor Huai of Jin, at the suggestion of his chancellor Xun Xi, prepared to eliminate Sima Yue, the king of the Eastern Seas, and Sima Yue was frightened to death at Ku County.
Sima Yue's army could only be kept secret, and his subordinate Wang Yan led a large army to send Sima Yue's coffin back to the East China Sea Kingdom, but the core military secret was actually heard by Shi Le, who led the Xiongnu cavalry to catch up with the Jin army at ningping city in KuXian County, and all 100,000 Jin troops and heavy subjects were killed, and the Western Jin Dynasty completely lost the ability to resist foreign invasions. In June of that year, the Xiongnu generals Wang Mi and Liu Yao successively led an army to attack Luoyang, Emperor Huai of Jin was captured by Han soldiers, more than 30,000 princes and members of the royal family were killed immediately, all the royal treasures were looted and burned, and the imperial tombs of the Zongmiao Temple were seriously damaged.
