History has always only discussed success or failure, but some losers were the heroes in the hearts of people at that time, he was a person who saved the Han people in the Central Plains from water and fire in the dark era of the Han chinese people - Ran Min.
Ran Min Profile
Ran Min, year of birth unknown, died in 352. Also known as Dye Min ,Zi Yong Zeng,Xiao Zi Zhi Nu (陳子奴), he was a native of Neihuang (内黄, in modern Neihuang, Henan) and the founder of the Ran Wei regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
After the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, the nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang, qiang, and Hu people attacked the Central Plains in a big way. These barbaric Hu tribes from the barbaric lands retained their cannibal savage beastliness, and they slaughtered the Han people on a large scale, and even called the Han people two-legged beasts. According to the historical records, "the northern land was desolate, the clothes and crowns moved south, the Hu di were everywhere, and the children of the Han family were almost slaughtered."
Destroy Zhao Jianwei
In 349 AD, shi hu, the tyrant of The Zhao Dynasty, died, and his sons competed for the throne, at this time Ran Min already had internal and external military power, prestige, and originally Han identity, which caused suspicion among those in power in Later Zhao.
In 350 AD, Ran Min proclaimed himself emperor at Yecheng and destroyed the Shi clan, destroying the brutal Ande Zhao Empire in one fell swoop. After that, Ran Min was the emperor, with the era name Yongxing and the national name Great Wei, which was historically known as Ran Wei. He also ordered the city gates to be opened so that the Han Chinese people in the vicinity could live in.
Promulgation of the Tuhu Order
Ran Min declared himself empress dowager, annihilated hundreds of thousands of Hou Zhao troops, and wrote letters to various places, calling on the Han people to rise up and kill the Hu people for revenge, which is the famous "Tu Hu Ling". Han people all over the country responded one after another, and the local Han people organized to kill the local Hu people, and it is conceivable that the Han people hated the cruel rule of the Hu people.
The once ferocious Hu tribes, such as the Xiongnu and xiongnu, were basically exterminated in this round of bloody ethnic revenge. The role of the "TuHu Order" was also to expel millions of Hu Barbarians from Middle-earth. More than millions of ethnic groups such as the Qiang, Qiang, and Human were returned to their hometowns in Longxi or Hetao, and the Nine Great Shihu even moved back to Central Asia.
Reincarnation of God of War
The Han regime established by Ran Min aroused the hatred of the Hu tribes in the Central Plains. Ran Min, who claimed to be empress, was immediately caught up in a series of conquests with the various Hu tribes.
1. In the first battle, the Han rode 3,000 nights to break the Xiongnu camp, kill several enemy generals, go hundreds of miles, and behead the Xiongnu by 30,000;
2. Fight again with 5,000 Han riders and 70,000 Men riding Hu;
3. In the three wars, the Han army of 70,000 plus 40,000 beggars broke the Hu coalition army of more than 300,000;
4. Defeat the first and then win the four battles with 10,000 people beheading 40,000;
5. In the five wars, the Han army of 60,000 almost completely annihilated more than 100,000 Qiang and Qiang forces;
6. In the sixth battle, the Hu army of 70,000 troops who came from afar with 2,000 Han horsemen in Yicheng could not be defeated.
Ambition is not rewarded
In 352 AD, Ran Min, due to the lack of grain in Yecheng, distributed the military food in the city to the people, and led 10,000 horses and horses out alone to find grain, but was surrounded by a humble army of 140,000. Ran Min killed more than 300 people and was captured.
Murong Jun laughed at Ran Min: "You only have the talent of a slave, why do you dare to claim to be the Son of Heaven?" Ran Min said angrily, "The world is in chaos, and Ercao Yidi beasts and beasts are especially called emperors, but I am a hero in Middle-earth!" Ran Min was then beheaded at Mount Shu.
Times create heroes, and Ran Min was a hero at least in that era. But now when evaluating whether a character is a hero, we must also consider the way of Confucius and Mencius. Ran Minsheng in an era of slaughter, his good or bad, probably in the hearts of people freely determined...
