Life of the characters
Early experience
In his youth, Wang Dun was handsome and free and easy-going. He was good at appraising characters and was proficient in Zuo's spring and Autumn Annals. He especially liked chatting, which won the praise of his elder brother Wang Rong. He married Princess Xiangcheng, the daughter of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. He was worshipped as the Duwei of his son-in-law and later served as the prince's wife.
In the ninth year of Yuankang (299), empress Jia Nanfeng deposed the crown prince Sima Li and sent him to Xuchang for imprisonment, and forbidden the East Palace officials to see him off. Wang Dun, however, broke the ban and saw off his colleagues Jiang Tong, pan Tao, Du Rui, Lu Yao and others on the roadside. He looked at Sima Hui crying bitterly and was praised by Shi Lun. As a result, they were captured and jailed by man Fen, the commander of Sili school, but rescued by Yin leguang and Sun Yan, both of them were finally released. Later, Wang Dun changed his post to Shi Huangmen.
Set up a chaotic situation
In the first year of Yongning (301), King simalun of Zhao usurped the throne and became emperor. At that time, Wang Dun's Uncle Wang Yan was appointed governor of Yanzhou. Simalun then ordered Wang Dun to Yanzhou to comfort Wang Yan and win him over. Soon after, Sima Fu, king of Qi, called on the whole world and launched an attack against Sima Lun. Although Wang Yan received the order, he was afraid of simalun's powerful troops and did not answer the order. Later, Wang Dun urged him to raise his troops. In April of that year, simalun was defeated and killed, and Emperor Huidi of Jin Dynasty was restored. Wang Dun was promoted to the rank of Sanqi Changshi, Zuowei general, dahonglu and Shizhong.
In the first year of Yongjia (307), Wang Dun was appointed general Guangwu and governor of Qingzhou under the arrangement of his elder brother Wang Yan. Later, he was enlisted and worshipped as the commander of Zhongshu. At that time, the world was in chaos. Wang Dun betrothed more than 100 of Xiangcheng princess's maidservants to the soldiers. He scattered all the money in the house and returned to Luoyang alone.
In the third year of Yongjia (309), Sima Yue, the king of Donghai, entered the court from Xingyang. Regardless of Pan Tao's opposition, he appointed Wang Dun as the governor of Yangzhou. At that time, Sima Rui, king of Langya, was guarding Jianye (Yangzhou, now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province) as general Anton. Wang Dun's younger brother, Wang Dao, served as Anton Sima in Sima Rui's shogunate and was deeply trusted by Sima Rui. Wang dunsui and Wang Dao helped Sima Rui establish his prestige in Jiangdong, which made Sima Rui gradually gain the support of Jiangdong gentry.
In the fourth year of Yongjia (310), Wang Dun was drafted as a minister and returned to Luoyang with Jianwu General Qian Fen. However, when Qian ran to Guangling (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), he rebelled and attacked wangdun instead. Wang Dun fled back to Jianye and told Sima Rui about his change. Sima Rui gave Wang Dun a sacrifice wine for Anton's army. Wang dunsui stayed in Yangzhou and did not return to the court.
Help to build the Eastern Jin Dynasty
Liu Tao, the governor of Yangzhou, died in 311. Wang Dun was reappointed as the governor of Yangzhou, and added general Guangwu. Soon after that, he went to worship general Zuo, false Festival, and commander-in-chief to fight against the military. In the same year, the Hun Han Kingdom conquered Luoyang and captured emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty, which was known as the Yongjia rebellion in history. The royal family and the gentry went south to Jiangdong. At that time, Sima Rui was promoted as the leader of the alliance and appointed officials. But Hua Yi, the governor of Jiangzhou, refused to comply. Sima Rui then ordered Wang Dun to visit Li Yang NEISHI ganzhuo and General Yang lie Zhou to discuss Hua Yi. Hua Yi was defeated and killed.
In the sixth year of Yongjia (312), Bashu refugees made trouble in Xiangzhou (now Changsha City of Hunan Province) and promoted Du Zhen as the leader. The uprising troops swept Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, and even threatened the security of Yangzhou. Wang dunjin tunyuzhang (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province) ordered Tao Kan, the governor of Wuchang, and Zhou, the governor of Yuzhang, to visit and discuss Du Zhen. At that time, Wang Cheng, the governor of Jingzhou, was removed from his post because of his failure in pacification and transferred to Jiankang (Jianye). He passed by Yuzhang and went to visit Wang dun. Wang Dun and Wang Cheng are not at peace. They kill Wang Cheng for colluding with Du Zhen.
In the first year of Jianxing (313), Tao Kan broke through Du Zhen and was recommended by Wang dunbiao as the governor of Jingzhou. However, he was defeated by Du Zeng, the governor of jingling. Wang Dun asked himself to be demoted as general Guangwu on the ground of "punishment of lost places". But Sima Rui did not agree.
In the third year of Jianxing (315), Tao Kan appeased Du Zhen's rebellion. The following generals were appointed to serve as the governor of Jingzhou. Before long, Tao Kan wanted to return to Jingzhou and said goodbye to Wang dun. Wang Dunji took advantage of Tao Kan's military exploits to detain him. He was transferred to Guangzhou governor and took over Jingzhou with his cousin Wang Zhen. He even wanted to kill Tao Kan, but he didn't do it because he was afraid of his family's weekly visit.
In the first year of Jianwu (317), Sima Rui was called king of Jin and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was officially called emperor the next year and was called emperor yuan of Jin in history. At this time, Wang Dun had been promoted to the general of Zhengnan, and then joined the general and served Zhong and Jiangzhou. At that time, Du Zeng was still making trouble in Jingzhou. Wang Dun sent Zhu GUI and Zhao you to denounce Du Zeng, but they were defeated by Du Zeng. He was asked to be demoted and removed from his official post. Later, he asked to leave jiangzhoumu. Sima Rui also appointed Wang Dun as the herdsman of Jingzhou. However, Wang Dun still resigned from the post of Zhou Mu and was finally awarded the title of governor of Jingzhou.
Weight is taboo
Sima Rui was able to establish his country in the south of the Yangtze River because he was supported by the powerful families of the north and the south. Langya Wang family played a decisive role in it, so it was very powerful after the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang daonei was in charge of the government, Wang dunwai was in charge of the military power, and Wang's children were in important positions, which led to the saying that "Wang and Ma shared the world", but it also caused Sima Rui's fear. At the same time, Wang Dun gradually became expert, such as privately promoting demoted general Du Hong, and adding ho Qin as a general in the danger of separatist regime. Sima Rui is disgusted. In order to weaken the influence of Wang family in Langya, he attached great importance to Yin Liukai of Danyang and Diao Xie of Shangshu, and gradually alienated Wang Dao. Wang Dun is also extremely dissatisfied with this. Gradually, there was a rift between the monarch and his subjects.
Taixing three years (320 years), Liangzhou governor Zhou visit died. Xiangzhou governor ganzhuodiao town Liangzhou. Wang Dun took the opportunity to ask Chen Xuan to take over as governor of Xiangzhou. Xiangzhou's position is very important, and it has always played a role in restraining Jingzhou. Sima Rui did not want Xiangzhou to be controlled by Wang dun. Liu Kai also suggested that Sima Rui send his confidants out of Xiangzhou to guard against Wang dun. Sima Rui took Sima Cheng as the governor of Xiangzhou. Wang Dun also said how loyal ministers in ancient and modern times were suspected by the emperor and alienated by villains, in order to move Sima Rui. However, Sima Rui was more afraid of Wang Dun, but in the face of it, he still increased his subordinate officials, rewarded Yu Bao, advocated and other honor guards to improve his treatment.
In the fourth year of Taixing (321), Sima Rui, on the advice of Diao Xie, restored the Tongke of Yangzhou counties to the status of a good citizen in preparation for conscription. Later, he went out to Hefei and Huaiyin with Dai Yuan and Liu Kai. He also assigned all the soldiers to Dai Yuan and Liu Kai. In name, he was defending against the later Zhao regime in the north, but in fact he was defending against Wang dun. Wang Dun wrote a letter to Liu Kai, saying that he would mend with him and work together to assist the royal family, but Liu Kai refused. He couldn't help getting more angry. In September of that year, Yushou governor zuti died of illness. Wang Dun's most feared Zhou Xun and Zu Ti all died. Wang Dun thought that no one could threaten himself militarily, so he decided to raise his troops to Beijing.
Mutiny
In the first month of the first year of Yongchang (322), Wang Dun set up troops in Wuchang (Jiangzhou Prefecture, now Ezhou, Hubei Province) to attack Jiankang in the name of attacking the treacherous Minister Liu Kai. He listed Liu Kai's top ten crimes in Shangshu, saying that as long as Liu Kai gave the first order, he would withdraw and return. Shen Chong, a party member, raised his troops in Wuxing (now Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province). Soon after, Wang dunbing went to Wuhu and wrote out the charges of Diao Xie. Sima Rui was so angry that he ordered Wang Dun to be a "great rebel" and said that he would personally lead the six armies to fight against him. He also sent Liu Kai and Dai Yuan to Wei Jiankang. But at that time, most of the aristocrats had an ambiguous attitude towards Wang dun. Wen Qiao once said that there must be reasons for Wang Dun's actions, which is not excessive. When he heard of Wang Guangxun's betrayal, he was also Wang Guangxun's elder brother.
At the beginning of Wang Dun's war, he sent envoys to Liangzhou and Xiangzhou. Although ganzhuo promised, he never sent troops. He held a wait-and-see attitude between the imperial court and wangdun. However, Sima Cheng imprisoned the emissary and raised his troops in Changsha (now Changsha City, Hunan Province) to denounce Wang Dun, and attacked and killed Zheng Dan, Wang Dun's brother-in-law.
On the one hand, Wang Dun ordered Wei Yi, the commander of Nanman school, and Li HENGDENG, the general, to lead 20000 troops to attack Changsha. On the other hand, he ordered Le Daorong to join the army to persuade ganzhuo to send troops to support him. Leduorong was dissatisfied with Wang Dun's rebellion, and took the opportunity to betray Wang Dun and persuade ganzhuo to attack Wuchang. At that time, Sima Cheng also ordered Deng Qian to come to Liangzhou to persuade Gan Zhuo and urge him to serve the king. After many hesitations, ganzhuo finally decided to support the imperial court, so he denounced wangdun. Wuchang
