The only nation that was exterminated in ancient times was jointly encircled and suppressed by all ethnic groups because of bad deeds, and its name sounded very familiar
The course of the people of ancient China is a history of great national integration, and many nationalities have formed other nationalities in the process of integration and convergence, while some are a small number of ethnic groups split off by a single nation, forming new nationalities with different cultural characteristics.
For example, China's ethnic minorities are mainly evolved from the five major ethnic groups of Xiongnu, Eastern Hu, Turkic, Tungusic, and Qiangzang. It is difficult to say which nation has completely perished since the development of the world's people, even if it is not traced in the footsteps of today's people, it is generally integrated into individual peoples, and there is still the blood of the ancients.
However, there was really one nation in ancient Chinese history that was completely exterminated, and this nation was the Qi people. It is really remarkable that this Xiongnu tribe was able to make independence from the Hands of the Xiongnu and divide into a quasi-ethnic group, and the reason why it has a "quasi" word is because its existence time is too short.
As early as the 1st century AD, the Xiongnu were defeated by the strong Han, the Northern Xiongnu were forced to move west to Eastern Europe to establish a state, while the Southern Xiongnu submitted to the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the 4th century, the Jin Dynasty declined, and the Southern Xiongnu wanted to rebel again, so they joined the camp of the Central Plains. However, the Huns themselves also commanded more than a dozen tribes, and the Xiongnu were one of them.
The origin of the Xiongnu is still debated, but at that time they themselves did not consider themselves to be mere vassals of the Huns, chose to revolt and rebelled, and successfully separated. By the time of the "Wuhu Chaohua" in the 4th century AD, the Qiang people gradually developed into a nation that could keep pace with the Xiongnu, and also became the main tribe of the "Chaotic Hua".
They have their own unique beliefs, although they retain a certain nomadic economy, but they also like Han culture, and the proportion of agriculture is increasing. The Xiongnu were still a slave people at the time, and far more brutal than the Huns. In the summer of 317 AD, there was a drought in the north, followed by a plague of locusts.
At that time, the life of the People of Qi was very difficult, and the leader of the Qi people, Shi Le, actually ordered that all the grain of the people of other nationalities be directly robbed, and the grievances of various nationalities against them increased, and wars of all sizes began. The People of Qi's war cannot be said to be brave, and it is more appropriate to describe it as wild.
It was also for this reason that under the leadership of the ambitious Shi Le, they were not only not defeated by the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Han and other ethnic groups, but also established the Later Zhao regime in Xiangguo in 319 AD. In the next ten years, he pacified the Guanzhong region, destroyed Former Zhao, and nibbled a piece of meat on the Jin Dynasty, and invaded the Dai kingdom in the north, laying the foundation of the Hehewei name.
In 329, when Shi Le officially ascended the throne as emperor, the State of Zhao had become the strongest state at that time. Shi Le was overjoyed and quickly took all his Own People into Later Zhao's territory. For the Qi people, Shi Le was a good emperor, and he also liked Han culture.
After all, the emperors who can open the country have great talents and great strategies, but the life of other nationalities is not so good. Moreover, his descendants have miserably pit him and lost the country and mountains he has worked so hard to build. In 333, after Shi Le's death, his nephew Shi Hu usurped the throne, and this Shi Hu's brutality was even worse than that of Emperor Xia Jie at the end of xia.
He was violent and reckless, the people had no money, and they were all killed if they did not sell their children and daughters. In addition, Shi Hu probably wanted to take all the women in the world for himself. But whenever he travels, as long as the women who are favored by him or officials will be admitted to the palace, tens of thousands of women can be recovered every time. In order to resettle them, Shi Hu also used 400,000 manpower to build the palace.
At that time, there were still many Jin people in Later Zhao, and Shi Hu listened to the rumors of a false monk and gathered hundreds of thousands of Jin people to force them to do hard labor, of which countless died of exhaustion and starvation. In addition to the Jin people, the tribes that had originally submitted to the Qi clan were also brutally killed, and Shi Hu did not even spare his own people.
So much so that the history books of the time used the trees on both sides of the road to hang corpses to describe the hell on earth at that time. When the emissaries of the Cheng Han Kingdom came to Hou Zhao, they also recorded the scene of corpses and human heads on the city wall. The population of Later Zhao under Shi Hu's rule was drastically reduced, and the red land was thousands of miles, so that fierce beasts and birds of prey began to appear frequently and occupied human territory.
In 349, Shi Hu's heirs finally waited until his death to begin a struggle for power, and internal friction was serious. Eventually, Shi Hu's adopted grandson Ran Min ascended to the throne, but neither the Hu nor the other Hu people were willing to allegiance to him. So Ran Min killed Qianhu, which led to the outbreak of civil war, and the internal strife of the Later Zhao imperial family fell into a weak state.
The tyrannical Hou Zhao was eventually repulsed by his own actions and was united by other countries to suppress it. No nation spared the Qi, especially the State of Ran Wei established by the Han Dynasty Ran Min, which wiped out the Later Zhao imperial family. It is estimated that Ran Min was also a spy at that time, became the righteous son of Shi Hu, and finally slaughtered the Qiren in turn and became a national hero.
In 352, the state of Ran Wei fell, and a small number of people escaped under the leadership of Hou Jing, submitted to Southern Liang, and were able to breathe. However, Hou Jing did not know what to do, and launched the "Hou Jing Rebellion" in 548 AD, and Southern Liang had to slaughter all the surviving parts of the People who survived. Since then, the Karma people have completely disappeared into the long river of history, which is about "self-inflicted sins cannot live."
