In our country, there are many benevolent people, heroes of war. In the thousands of years of Chinese history, most of our country is in the depths of the water, and the so-called peaceful prosperity is really a handful. In this torrent of history, there have been countless heroes who have made great achievements and dedicated themselves to the country, and it is precisely because of these heroes who have bowed down to the end that our country can revitalize itself from the devastation.
He is a generation of tyrants but little known
Whenever the Chinese nation is facing an existential crisis, there will always be a heroic figure who comes out to save this dying nation. It's like a common routine, like in a TV series, whenever the protagonist is facing a cliff and dying, a mysterious masked man will always appear to save him. In the history of China, most of these mysterious heroes have been remembered and praised by the world, but there is a great hero of the Chinese nation who is not known, without him, there may not be today's prosperity.
Who is he? Countless questions came up in an instant. He was Emperor Ran Min during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
I believe that even if you tell everyone so bluntly that he is Emperor Ran Min, not many people still know who he is. But in fact, there are not many historical records of this person. However, when we mention the unbearable and painful history of Wuhu Chaohua, I believe that many people will know something to a greater or lesser extent, because the war and chaos almost completely destroyed this Chinese nation.
When the descendants of China were slaughtered to the point where only 2 million were left, this fearless hero saved the nation at a critical time.
Speaking of Wuhu Chaohua, it was a dark and terrifying stage that occurred at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, when many nomadic tribes of the Hu people in northern Saibei took advantage of the decline and helplessness of the Central Plains to establish a large-scale Hu state, they were vicious and bloody, cruel and brutal, the Hu state and the Central Plains Han people formed a confrontation situation, when they killed only 2 million Han people, Ran Min stood out, he was like a cloaked superman, in the crisis of China, repelled the Hu people, saved the Central Plains.
Countless heroes have been written into textbooks, but this great hero who issued the "Order to Kill Hu", defeated the Hu people, and saved the entire Chinese nation could not enter the textbook, and was even forgotten by people. We do not know the specific reasons, but we may feel pity for such a figure, such a big man who sacrificed for the country has been drowned in the long river of history.
· His reputation was mixed
The evaluation of this character in history is almost always mixed, and it may be that his deeds and personality should be at the extremes of good and bad, which is extremely easy to cause a one-sided understanding of him.
On the other hand, some people think that he was the fiery tyrant of that war-torn era, who stood ahead in the charge of the war, who was heroic and fearless, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and it was his brutal blow to the Hu people's country that enabled the Chinese nation to be completely preserved.
All the evaluations are correct, but not entirely correct, and everyone measures this character from an objective or subjective point of view. There are no absolute good people in this world, and there are no absolute bad people, just like a social person who often fights and fights when he supports a lonely and helpless old man on the road, how should we evaluate this person?
His legacy escalated the war
In the beginning of man, nature is good. It seems to me that everyone does something for a certain reason, and it is under a series of catalysts that he is causing him to do so. The same is true of Ran Min.
From the perspective of human nature itself, we have to say that Ran Min was a well-deserved hot-blooded hero in that era. Ran Min was physically strong and intelligent from an early age, and at that time, he was loved by Shi Hu (his father's righteous father), Shi Hu regarded him as his own grandson, tried his best to cultivate him, he also lived up to expectations, and showed superhuman combat effectiveness and military quality at a young age.
In the battle he first personally went to the battlefield, it can be said that the battle was extremely fierce, their army was almost beaten to the left and right, and he led more than three thousand Han troops to fight a beautiful turnaround battle. This was something to be proud of not only for him, but for the whole country at that time, it should be recorded in the annals of history. In many of the battles that followed, the young general delivered satisfactory answers again and again.
Ran Min was born half a member of the Shi family, and he was also bent on being a loyal and enthusiastic hero who served the country, but the world was unpredictable, the Shi family had internal wars, people's hearts were scattered, and Ran Min, who had no second heart, was regarded as a great general with ambitions who wanted to usurp power.
As the saying goes: people are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of being strong.
Ran Min's excellent performance became the handle of his slander, and the emperor at that time believed that Ran Min was disobedient to discipline and ambitious, and wanted to seek power and usurp the throne. So he repeatedly targeted Ran Min and even attacked him in secret.
As the saying goes: rabbits are anxious to bite people. Not to mention that it is a seven-foot boy with boiling blood, a hot-blooded hero who has been in the battlefield for a long time. Driven by the situation at that time, Ran Min had to rise up to resist in order to protect himself. But the more he resisted, the more he was seen as wanting to monopolize power. In that case, Ran Min had no choice, however, the war between them was not just a simple struggle for royal power, because Ran Min was originally of Han Chinese descent, and this war rose to a struggle between two nationalities.
Everyone is controlled by fate
Everyone is moving forward step by step on the unpredictable road of life, and so is Ran Min, who never expected things to happen to this point. Now that Ran Min had taken this step, he could never look back. In this power grab, Ran Min gained the upper hand, and he successfully defeated the emperor and became a new generation of emperors. However, how could those Hu people tolerate a Han person leading them to power, so the Hu people began to kill the Han people, helpless, Ran Min had to fight with the Hu people in order to save the Han people, and issued the "Order to Kill Hu".
Many people one-sidedly believe that "Killing Hu Ling" is to kill the Hu people, in fact, ran Min's Janissaries still have most of the Hu people. Ran Min's "Order to Kill Hu" was also a helpless move at that time.
In that regard, I think Ran Min was a great hero of that era. However, why can't such a national hero who saved the Han people enter the textbook?
I think the reason may have to be considered from all aspects. Leaving aside the bloody brutality of the war itself, fifty-six nationalities are now one, and if this battle were written into a textbook, it would not mean discriminating against ethnic minorities and disturbing national harmony, so that this national hero could not be written into textbooks.
That said, he is still our hero and deserves to be passed down through the ages.
