Because we have a long history in China, many things happened in history have brought many topics to historians now. Although these questions are as boring as asking everyone to say which is more fun, the official or the sparrow flying in the sky. But these things are more meaningful than games.

There is a controversial topic that has not been finalized so far, that is, whether the battle of Feishui belongs to resisting invasion or to the unified war launched by the former Qin Dynasty? Is the nature of the water-fighting war launched by Fu Jian in the former Qin Dynasty a war of unification or a war of national aggression?

If you just choose the answer between yes and no, it seems not easy; But if the answer is not biased, it doesn't seem to make sense. The premise of the Feishui War was that China was divided into the north and the south at that time. After the former Qin Dynasty unified the north, the north launched a large-scale southward war.

In fact, there were many such wars between the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. For example, in 208, Cao Cao launched Battle of Red Cliffs, in 280, the State of Jin defeated Wu, and in 589, the Song Dynasty defeated Chen.

Historically, these wars have been called China's war to unify the whole country from the north. Then, why is it said that this is a rare North Water War, and it is rejected by some people, saying that this is a war of alien invasion, which seems unreasonable.

In fact, the year before the Battle of Feishui, Fu Jian discussed this matter with ministers in Taijitang. In this discussion, Fu Jian appeared very confident, saying, "Zhong Mouze's negotiations with Quan Wu were extremely embarrassing because of the industry of three generations, and both the monarch and the minister were bound. Although there is the Yangtze River, it will take a long time! " Take many of my trips and throw the whip at the river, which is enough to interrupt its flow. "

Former Qin generals also urged Fu Jian to invade South China, and the starting point of his support was the victory of Emperor Wu of Jin. Although most officials in the former Qin Dynasty were opposed to Fu Jian's going south to fight, the great success of the battle between Jin and Wu before gave him enough courage and confidence.

From Fu Jian's point of view, he started the joint war. After all, he has: "Although Kim is a humble wuyue, he is in the same strain, a good neighbor and a treasure of the country." I don't want to be promoted when I leave. "Fu Jian and his prince Fu Hong once said," Doesn't God want me to be even? "Why do you want to take away the speed of my scenery?"

Wang Meng was a warrior in the former Qin Dynasty. He has always opposed attacking the Eastern Jin Dynasty from the south, but obviously Fu Jian's knowledge is beyond Wang Meng's understanding. Fu Jian has always had a heart to unify the Central Plains. Because reunification has become a reality in the north, he has always claimed to be the heir of the Jin Dynasty.

Fu Jian decided that the Southern Expedition would be the same or similar "Pingyi Liuhe" unified war as the War of Destroying Wu. But Wang Meng thinks that there is a gap between China and foreigners. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a country with the same origin of new moons, Fu Jian should not rely on soldiers to help.

This is of course reasonable. It can be seen that in its brewing stage, the battle of Feishui showed duality, both like a unified war and a war of national aggression. However, Wang Meng's self-dissident words and the self-"orthodoxy" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are obviously untenable. Fu Jian's dream is to build an enlightened country with multi-ethnic communities and Confucianism as the leading factor. However, it is obviously wrong for Wang Mengzhi to divide things with a narrow national concept. Therefore, the Battle of Surabaya should be regarded as a unified war rather than a war of aggression.
