When we think of war, we naturally think of disaster. Because from ancient times to the present, war will only bring endless disasters to people, it will not only kill many lives, but also leave a deep shadow on people's hearts. In fact, in addition to the various wars in China's modern history, there were also many wars in ancient China. Let's talk about the "Five Hu Chaohua" and related things.
Why did the "Wuhu Chaohua" thing happen? This has to start from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, there was a pattern of the three kingdoms. After several years of war, the Sima family finally unified Huaxia and established the Western Jin Dynasty. But what did not make people think was that the Western Jin Dynasty actually had the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".
The so-called Rebellion of the Eight Kings refers to the civil unrest caused by some people in order to compete for imperial power, which was caused by Empress Jia Nanfeng. The "Eight Kings" here refer to Sima Liang the King of Runan, Sima Wei the King of Chu, Sima Lun the King of Zhao, Sima Ran the King of Qi, Sima Qi the King of Changsha, Sima Ying the King of Chengdu, Sima Yue the King of Hejian and Sima Yue the King of the East China Sea.
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty lasted for about 7 years from 299 AD to 306 AD, and it brought very serious consequences to the country, such as economic destruction and so on. Not only that, during the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the power of the Sima family continued to weaken, and people of other clans also rebelled one after another, until the Wuhu Rebellion occurred later.
The so-called "Wuhu Chaohua", also known as the Yongjia Rebellion, refers to the time of the ancient Chinese Southern and Northern Dynasties, when many ethnic minorities in the north carried out large-scale southward movements, causing a confrontation with the Han state. Among them, the "Five Hus" refers to the five ethnic minorities of xiongnu, Xianbei, Xianbei, Xianbei, Xian, and Qiang.
In the history textbooks, we have all learned about the period and process of "Wuhu Chaohua", but we have not understood how miserable the "Wuhu Chaohua" was at that time, especially the women of the Han Dynasty at that time, who are said to have the title of "two-legged sheep". Because the ethnic minorities at that time were very cruel, especially the Huns and the Xiongnu. Let's take a look at how cruel they really are.
In 304 AD, the Xianbei came to the Central Plains, not to mention their guilt for burning and robbing, but also for their crimes against tens of thousands of women in the Han Dynasty. They actually ate these women, and not only that, they would drown the women who could not finish eating.
Not only did the Xianbei clan do this, but also shi hu, the later Zhao Wu emperor of the Xianbei clan, who was even more ferocious. Whether he was a man or a woman, he did not let go. According to records, he sent people to kill many Han Chinese, making the Han people in the north from 24 million to 4 million, which is how terrible!
This situation was alleviated only when the Jin Yuan Emperor led the Han people south, and the Jin Yuan Emperor established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, which is the legend of the historical "Yongjia Rebellion, The Crown of the South Crossing". When the Sui Emperor Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he began to manage these ethnic minorities, so that the Xiongnu were forced to flee to the west, the Xianbei were also defeated and annihilated, and the Hu and Qiang also fled to the south, etc., in short, completely driving the Wuhu out of the Central Plains.
From this, it can be seen how pathetic the people who lived during the "Five Hu Chaohua" period are! Therefore, we should be glad to live in the peaceful and prosperous world, and all the officials think so
