"In the era of the Five Hu Chaohua, there was a martial mourning of ran Min, the heavenly king, who slaughtered millions of Hu people and saved the endangered Han people", which is indeed a heroic myth that is enough to inspire people's hearts, but it also makes Ran Min, a historical figure, bear the "guilt" of "a slaughter of Hu under the order of slaughtering Hu, resulting in the death of millions of innocent people", so it is criticized at length by many people with ulterior motives.
Emperor Ran Wei: Ran Min

What's more, he went deep into the historical materials of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, such as the Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms (by Cui Hong of Northern Wei), the Book of Jin (by Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty), the Zizhi Tongjian Jinji (by Sima Guang), and excavated various so-called "black histories" of Ran Min through excerpts, distortions and exaggerations, including Ran Min's original grandson of the Hu tyrant Shi Hu, who led an army to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, killed the Jin Dynasty generals, established the state as empress dowager and killed his old comrade-in-arms Li Nong, gave his son the title of "Da Dan Yu", and so on, thus declaring Ran Min "a mercenary ambitionist and warlord." In his early years, he defected to the Tartars, and then rebelled, which was actually the precursor of Wu Sangui-style figures."
In fact, Ran Min was indeed deified by some people who exaggerated their deeds and fabricated historical materials out of simple national sentiments, as a "great revenge hero who saved the Han nation".
From its rise to its demise, the Ran Wei regime only took a few short years, and about 300,000 people were wiped out, and even if it was combined with several years of attacks with the Hu armies of the Xiongnu, Qiang, Xianbei, and other Hu tribes, it was unlikely that the total number of captives would exceed 500,000. As for the statement of "slaughtering millions of people", it is really an exaggeration.
Ran Min's "Tu Hu Order" has two specific articles, one is to order that Hu people are prohibited from possessing weapons, and those who violate it are beheaded (""
The Inner and Outer Liuyi dared to call the scepter and beheaded him.
The second was to order the Han people to behead the Hu people of the first rank, the civilian officials could be promoted to the third rank, and the military positions were all worshiped by the general of Yamen. (「
Inside and outside the Zhao people, beheading a Hu head to send Fengyang Gate, civilian officials into the third class, military positions Xi Baiyamen.
He even led the team with his own sword, and in one day, he beheaded tens of thousands of capricors, and killed more than 200,000 capricors in Yecheng, and the bones were piled up outside the city and eaten by wild dogs and jackals. In various places under Ran Min's control, the Han soldiers will also move together to kill all the People in the jurisdiction. (「
According to the four parties, the place where the Min Shu shu is cursed

In order to strengthen the foundation of their rule, they wrapped up many small tribes born of non-Xiongnu, non-Qiang, non-Xianbei, and non-Xianbei tribes, and then through the institutionalized oppression and plundering of a large number of Han people, let them condense into a community of interests with the Shi royal family as the core in the name of "Zhao Guoren", which is very similar to the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, and is also the product of the Jurchen clan of Jianzhou as the core, wrapped up in other Jurchen tribes, as well as a large number of Mongols and Liaodong Han people.
Emperor Gaozuming of Later Zhao: Shi Le
When Ran Min gave an order, he killed all the descendants of Shi Hu, destroyed the core of the Shi clan royal family, and directly killed more than 300,000 people, plus the subsequent attacks with the remnants of Later Zhao forces, and beheaded tens of thousands of people in each battle, and finally eliminated this "nation" in one fell swoop, precisely because it was itself a product of artificial kneading, after experiencing the rule of Hou Zhao for a few decades, it has not yet had a truly formed national consciousness. For example, the later Northern Wei emperor Zhu Rong, because he was born in the Qihu Xiurong Department, was also called "Karma" in the history books. And the difference between his so-called "remnants of the Karma" and the Shile people is not necessarily smaller than the difference between the Xiongnu and the Qiang and The Qiang.
King Taiyuan of northern Wei and grand general of Tianzhu: Erzhu Rong
After the collapse of the Qiangzhao regime, which had ruled the north for decades, the Hu and Han ambitionists in various places rose up one after another, and the war raged continuously, causing great damage to agricultural production, resulting in a large number of personnel losses that were historically inevitable.
At that time, there was a great famine in Sizhou and Jizhou, and millions of previously forced "migrant households" in Qingzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, and Jingzhou attacked and killed each other in the process of moving back to their hometowns, or died of hunger and disease, resulting in population losses of 78 out of 10, which indeed caused millions of lives to lose their lives.
However, this was the joint responsibility of the tribal leaders of all forces and warlords, including the Han, Xianbei, Xianzhao, Qiang, and Qiang people, and was not something that Ran Min alone or Ran Wei alone could cause. Even if there were no one in the world, it would never change this historical process. Later, the Former Qin regime of the Qiangren Dynasty once unified the north, but after the Defeat of the Battle of Shuishui, it collapsed, and the country was torn apart and disintegrated, which also repeated this historical process.
The relevant writing of historical accounts such as the Book of Jin, with the so-called "Spring and Autumn Brushwork of Historians", is actually a game of words, which will cause millions of han and Hu population losses caused by ambitionists on all sides before and after Ran Min's army, the turmoil in various parts of Later Zhao, and the loss of up to several million Han and Hu ethnic groups, intentionally or unintentionally misleading, all of which are counted on Ran Min's head, which is extremely unfair to Ran Min, and those who have knowledge do not have to take it seriously.
Of course, there are indeed many people who oppose Ran Min, and what they oppose is not the real Ran Min in history, but the network image of "slaughtering millions of hu" that some extremists boast, and the negative effects are too seriously imagined. At the same time, it is also a resistance to the invention of history and the falsification of historical materials, such as the half-written "Ran Tianwang Killing Hu Ling", "Wuhu Cannibal Examination", and "10,000 infantry fighting 140,000 iron horses, or even 200,000 iron horses, ten battles and ten victories".
As a historical figure, Ran Min does not need to bear the false aura that a small number of extremists have placed their passion on him, and the responsibility associated with it. What is the history of Youth? What a sin!
Of course, there are still some people who use the exaggerated "Myth of Ran Tianwang Slaughtering Hu Millions" to wash away the sins of the people in history and completely negate the historical Ran Min, which is particularly worthy of vigilance.
To this day, some people often praise Shi Le for how he was "diligent in government and loves the people", how he "tolerated the Han people", and how he "went from slave to emperor".
These people have no compassion for the tragic encounters of the ancestors of Chinese civilization in history, and they have no compassion for Hu rulers like Shi Hu. In the evidence of conclusive accumulation of evil deeds, or unwilling to look closely, or whitewashed,
Later Zhao Emperor: Shi Hu
Perhaps their original intention is that they think that they have unparalleled intelligence like Zhang Bin and Wang Meng, but unfortunately as "Han Soldiers", they will be full of praise for the Shi Le who killed the princes and nobles of the Jin Dynasty, and they are fascinated by Zhang Binzhi, who is a Han but actively assists the Hu monarch.
Later Zhao Strategist: Zhang Bin
As for the chaos in the world, the destruction of lives and the countless deaths and injuries of the people of Li, in the eyes of Zhang Bin in these later generations, it is only a number worth mentioning of personal merit.
To such morally upright people, the great thinkers of the late Ming Dynasty, Mr. Funayama Wang Fuzhi, to them"
