In ancient times, due to geographical restrictions, most of the Chinese lived in China and did not go to foreign countries. But recently, we have discovered a surprising fact, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms period actually went to Armenia, and called the wind and rain in the local area, 200 years later, his descendants have become the local rulers, and the statue stands to this day.
The famous generals of the three countries will rise to power abroad
The origin of the matter has to start from the Armenian Mamikonian family. At that time, an Armenian local told the Global Times reporter that their family's ancestors were actually from China, which aroused great interest from the Global Times reporters. Armenia is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, and it is very far from China, if it is true that their ancestors came from China, as the locals say, then how did they come here in the first place?
The Global Times reporter conducted an in-depth investigation and was confirmed by many people from the local Mamikonyan family, saying that their ancestors were indeed from China, which is a saying handed down from generation to generation. After being confirmed, the reporter published this information to the Global Times, which immediately caused an uproar, and a large number of history lovers came to Armenia to explore the authenticity of the story.
After everyone's efforts, it was finally found that what the Mamikonyan family said was not false, and in the local history books, this story can be confirmed to a certain extent. The ancient Historian of Armenia, Morvseys Holenazzi, once wrote a historical work called "History of Armenia", and this history book clearly records that the ancestor of the Mamikonyan family, called MaKang, migrated from China around the third century AD.
Ma Kang first arrived in Persia from China, claiming to be a prince from China, and because he angered the Chinese emperor and was hunted down, he had to flee to Persia for help. The story of Ma Kang touched everyone, so the Persian king prepared to provide shelter for Ma Kang, but soon after, the Chinese emperor sent people to demand Ma Kang and threatened Persia that if ma Kang was not handed over, he would send people to start war. Although the Persian king was sympathetic to Ma Kang's plight, he could not start a war for Ma Kang, after all, war was very risky, so he sent Ma Kang to his vassal state of Armenia.
Ma Kang was originally a soldier, had rich experience in china, with excellent ability, soon he helped Armenia to win a big battle, so the Armenian king attached great importance to Ma Kang, gave him a high courtesy, and gave Ma Kang the surname of Ma Mi Konyan, he was considered an official Armenian, and then Ma Kang took root in Armenia and multiplied. According to the history of Armenia, Ma Kang came from China in the third century AD, so who is he in China?
With this question in mind, the Chinese historian Su Zhongxiang carefully reviewed the history and found that the time period when Ma Kang entered Armenia was during the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China, and after the Ma Chao family was killed by Cao Cao. At this moment, the whole thing became clear, And Ma Kang was probably a member of the Ma Chao family! At that time, Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao, and although he once beat Cao Cao to abandon his robe and cut his hair, he was ultimately not Cao Cao's opponent and was defeated by Cao Cao. Ma Chao was defeated so badly that many of his clan members were killed, and only a few people followed Ma Chao to flee to Hanzhong and eventually joined Liu Bei's clique.
Presumably, At that time, Ma Kang was a member of the Ma clan who fled west, and judging from Ma Kang's surname, the fate of the clan, the king's son, and being hunted down and killed by the emperor, he was probably a member of the Ma Chao family, and it was likely to be Ma Chao's brother. At that time, Ma Chao was a prince of the party, and it was also possible to be considered a king, and Cao Cao, as the most powerful force in the world, had Emperor Xian of Han in his hands, and was mistaken for an emperor, which was also possible, all of which could be explained, and the Ma Chao family lived in Liangzhou, and the Qiang people and the Western Regions had deep exchanges, they were likely to escape through this road, so the authenticity of this story is still relatively high.
In the fifth century AD, the Persians forced Armenia to believe in Zoroastrianism, which caused dissatisfaction among the Armenians, and under the leadership of the descendants of the Ma Kang, they rebelled, but ultimately failed miserably. Thirty years later, the descendant of the Makant, Vaan Mamikonyan, raised an army again, fought against Persia, and eventually defeated the Persian army, successfully restoring armenia's autonomy. In order to commemorate their outstanding contribution, the Armenians erected a huge statue for them on the square of the capital Yerevan, which stands to this day!
epilogue
I have to sigh, the world is really wonderful, who could have imagined that the Ma Chao family, which was defeated by Cao Cao, actually had descendants who ran to Armenia to take root and eventually became the local rulers? The famous generals of the three countries fled to Armenia for refuge, but 200 years later their descendants became rulers, and their statues stand to this day, this legend is not confirmed by experts, it is estimated that many people are unwilling to believe, too unexpected.
