Chapter 1341: Ran Min?
To err is human.
Every national hero in history, to a greater or lesser extent, has "black spots".
Liu Bei has cast a straight hundred and five baht coins, Zhuge Liang is even more outrageous, and the Taiping hundred coins cast can be called one of the worst quality copper coins in history, robbing the people's wealth at a ratio of 1:100, a murderous force.
Under such circumstances, those historians who are not willing to only say the words of their predecessors will naturally take these "black spots" and hype up and counter the mainstream views, which can always bring them great prestige.
For example, taking the "History of Yue Fei" compiled by Qin Hui's family, using Yue Fei's emotional intelligence as too low and getting involved in the matter of establishing a prince to make trouble, in those descriptions, Yue Fei simply became a submissive minister, and Song Gaozong instead became a stable and virtuous monarch who exuded the spirit of a king all day long.
Not to mention Ran Min, whose evaluation has reached two extremes.
On the Internet, Ran Min released "Tuhu Order", which is a peerless god general who continues the bloodline of the Han family, and can be called a person through the ages.
In the mouth of some experts, he was criticized as worthless because he had also killed Han people, took refuge in other races to worship him as his father, and then rebelled, especially "Tuhu Order", and was arrested and criticized, while saying that there was no such thing in history, on the other hand, he used the records in "Zizhi Tongjian" to talk about things, saying that Ran Min killed Hu people, including indiscriminate killing of innocents.
Where can ordinary netizens distinguish the authenticity, they are often fascinated by these "popular science", and when they are young, they may believe more in the "Tuhu Ling" on the Internet, and the older ones are more willing to believe the words of those bricks intellectually.
In fact, in that era when there were more Hu people than Han people, where could there be room for the existence of upright people and gentlemen, and it was impossible for everyone in that era to keep their hands clean.
In "Heaven and Earth", Lin Mu reproduces this aspect of history.
Based on the "Zizhi Tongjian", the most controversial "Tuhu Ling" does not have the famous article on the Internet, and it should be edited by later generations.
But it does exist.
At that time, Ran Min captured Shi Jian and sent a message to Yecheng City: "The rebellion has been removed, and none of the good people are involved in these things. From this day forward, whoever is of the same mind with us remains, and those who do not have the same heart will be listened to wherever they wish, I command that the gates of the city should not be closed again. ”
As a result, all the Han (Chinese) within a radius of 100 li entered Yecheng, while the departing Hu and Qian people blocked the city gates.
Obviously, the Hu people were unwilling to be used by Ran Min, and among the people of the original Central Plains, Ran Min's reputation was extremely strong, and they all believed in him.
Seeing this situation, Ran Min issued an order inside and outside the palace: "All Han people who cut off the head of a Hu person and send it to Fengyangmen can be promoted to the third rank, and all military attaches are appointed as Yamen generals." ”
As soon as the order was issued, tens of thousands of Hu people were killed in one day.
And Ran Min personally led the Han army, killing the Hu people and the Qi people, regardless of the nobles and lows, men and women, old and young, all of them were killed, killing more than 200,000 people, and the corpses piled up outside the city were eaten by wild dogs and jackals.
In the Hu people and Qian people in the garrison on the border of the four directions, Ran Min ordered the Han generals in the army to kill all the Hu people and Qian people under him, so that most of the people with higher noses and more beards were killed indiscriminately.
……
This is the "Tuhu Record" in "Zizhi Tongjian", which is in "Jin Ji Twentieth", which is easy to find.
Lin Mu showed this in "Heaven and Earth".
After Fan Yongnian saw this, he didn't know how to evaluate Lin Mu.
A page of the book disgusted with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and vigorously blackened the Qing Dynasty, Fan Yongnian can understand that the good words said for the emperors of Kangxi, such as "curing smallpox", Fan Yongnian can also understand that "Yu does not hide flaws", there is no need to cover up.
But the most controversial "Ran Min" was also introduced objectively like this?
Judging from these records, Ran Min is certainly not a good sage, and when he first took refuge in the Shi family, he killed tens of thousands of Han people, which is indeed undoubted.
The fact that he slaughtered Hu was also real, and there were indiscriminate killings of innocents, but for the situation that "there were more Hu people than Chinese" at that time, it was more meritorious than wrong, and objectively, it made a contribution to the continuation of the national bloodline.
After all, the alien race at that time was really ferocious, murderous, cannibalistic, and turned Hebei into a primeval forest for hunting, and that was the moment when the nation was in real danger!
It is worth mentioning that many of the Hu and Qian people at that time could be said to be Europeans, and they did not all integrate into later China.
Under such circumstances, Ran Min's move of "slaughtering Hu" was a great achievement for this nation, both at that time and in modern times.
It's just that under the reflection of such a great achievement, the "black spots" on Ran Min's body are naturally more attention-grabbing, and any one that happens to other heroes is enough to ruin his reputation.
Such a controversial Ran Min, even the "Qualification Tongjian" cannot be conclusive, so that mainstream textbooks have to ignore him.
If you have to be sure, it is from the perspective of a historical reader: Ran Min is a distorted national hero in that distorted era.
……
No answers!
Fan Yongnian didn't see Lin Mu's answer to this person from Ran Min in "Heaven and Earth".
He only saw the Ran Min on the "Qualification Tongjian", as well as some other relatively reliable ancients, all kinds of opinions on Ran Min, which were not even used as appendix materials, and did not appear in Ran Min's "plot world" in "Heaven and Earth".
Treat the records in the "Qualifications Guide" as real history?
It may sound a little inappropriate, but Fan Yongnian knows it's okay.
There are two most important sources for studying an ancient history: historical books and cultural relics.
Among those histories about Ran Min, "Zizhi Tongjian" is naturally the most well-known, and in the case that "Sima Guang's character is guaranteed, and the credibility of the "Zizhi Tongjian" written by him should also be high", "Zizhi Tongjian" has become a relatively authoritative "historical fact".
It is precisely under this kind of popular recognition that "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Yue Fei", "History of the Ming Dynasty", and "History of the Qing Dynasty" are not recognized by real scholars, but they have to pinch their noses and look for a possible opportunity from the full of falsehoods.
This is the style of a decent historical researcher, but now it appears in the "one-page book"!
The page of the book that ruined his reputation is like being extremely disgusted with all disguises, and he just wants to find the most authentic "Ran Min", and this extremely controversial and eternal god will appear in front of everyone!
"One page of the book, you want to change the misinformation of 'Ran Min' and 'Wuhu Chaohua', but can you change the propaganda of this hundred years!?"
