You know, the first Central Plains Dynasty established by ethnic minorities in history was established in the name of Liu Chan

Looking at the title, everyone must think that I am nonsense and eye-catching, but history is so wonderful beyond people's imagination.

The founder of the dynasty was named Liu Yuan, and the name was a typical Sinicized ethnic minority. He claimed to be the son of the Southern Xiongnu (a descendant of Hu Han's evil Shan Yubu who surrendered to the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han) and Liu Bao, the son of Liu Bao, the son of Zuobu ShanYu.

Liu Yuan was a legendary figure, and the history books describe him as "graceful and majestic, eight feet and four inches long, beware of three red hairs, three feet and three inches long" (so long and only three, too strange, does it represent heaven, earth, and man?). ）。 Many fortune tellers marvel that "this man looks very good, I have never seen it" (in the next self-perception this may also be understood - long tall and strange!). ）

When he was young, he was a hostage in Luoyang, which shows that he is indeed a Xiongnu nobleman, otherwise how could he be qualified to be a hostage! Because he lived in Luoyang as a hostage, he was able to be influenced by the Han culture for a long time. After his father's death, he returned to the headquarters and inherited the position of left marshal.

At the beginning of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" of the Jin Dynasty, the out-of-control population of the Central Plains fell sharply from 56 million in 156 AD to less than 16 million in 306, which also provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the ethnic minorities who migrated to the Central Plains. The five southern Xiongnu in the Fenshui Basin were also eager to move.

In the first year of Yong'an (304), Liu Yuan took advantage of the chaos to flee back to Shanxi from Yicheng, claimed to be DaDan Yu in Lishi County, and integrated the five Xiongnu to form a cavalry force of 50,000 people. History cannot deny the rise of a new dynasty on a distant horizon.

In order to win over the Han people, I personally think that maybe his brain was damaged. Liu Yuan also engaged in the matter of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the sect to raise his status (it seems that Sinicization can be, which has been learned). What is even more exaggerated is that you have three red hairs on your body, and the long Qiwei person thinks that he is a descendant of Liu Chan. You think you are also looking for a good one, such as his old man Liu Bei. Everyone was a strange person with a large earlobe shoulders and hands over the knees, a three long red chest hair, and said something of the past. Liu Yuan honored Liu Chan of shu han as Emperor Xiaohuai and proclaimed himself king of Han. Liu Chan could not have dreamed that decades after he had been buried, there would be a Xiongnu who restored the Han Chamber under his banner. Isn't it amazing!

Four years later, in the second year of Emperor Yongjia of Jin (308), Liu Yuan officially called himself Emperor of Han and moved the capital to Pingyang, with the state name Han (historically known as Northern Han). Soon, Liu Yuan marched into Luoyang, the center of the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately the goal was not achieved.

Crown Prince Liu He succeeded to the throne, but unfortunately did not have military power. Military power is in the hands of 4 brothers. Next, it was cheesy, and several brothers cut each other. The fourth elder Liu Cong succeeded and cut down the new emperor Liu He as emperor.

In the fifth year of Yongjia (311), Liu Cong occupied Luoyang, Emperor Huai of Jin was captured, and the tomb of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty was excavated, which is the famous "Yongjia Rebellion" in history. The Western Jin Dynasty was essentially destroyed. With the occupation of Luoyang, the "Han" that marked the establishment of the Xiongnu Liu Yuan and his sons became the first ethnic minority dynasty to officially enter the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, Liu Yuan's Han dynasty has not been passed down for several generations, perhaps because their Sinicized teacher, the Western Jin Dynasty, is really not very good. This student didn't learn much from the good, and learned all the bad things. Liu Cong was a casual and complacent emperor, and his son Liu Cang was even more absurd. In 318 AD, he was cut down by his father-in-law and his own father-in-law Jin Zhun (listen to what a mess, change the little mother to a little wife). At the same time digging the grave of his father and his grandfather. The Northern Han Dynasty perished!

From 304 to 318 AD, although the Xiongnu established the Northern Han Dynasty, it was only 14 or 15 years. But he had a national name and inheritance, and even occupied Luoyang to destroy the Western Jin Dynasty. It was short but it was a dynasty that did exist. The first ethnic minority in history, the Central Plains Dynasty, deserved it!
