Chapter 253: Change of Dynasty (II)
In the first month of the sixth year of Yonghe, Ran Min wanted to completely eliminate the Shi family, and under the pretext that there was the words "following Zhao Li" in the prophecy, he changed the country name to Wei, changed the surname to Li, implemented amnesty, and changed the year name to Qinglong.

Shi Kun, Zhang Ju, and Wang Lang led 70,000 soldiers to attack Yecheng, and Ran Min led more than 1,000 cavalry to resist them in the north of the city. Ran Min held a two-edged spear in his hand and attacked at a gallop, and the opponent was defeated by the blade, killing the first three thousand.
Ran Min and Li Nong led 30,000 cavalry to Shidu to defeat Zhang Hedu. In leap February, Shi Jian secretly sent eunuchs to send a letter to summon Zhang Shen and others, so that they could take advantage of the situation to attack Yecheng. The eunuch reported the matter to Ran Min and Li Nong, who galloped back, deposed Shi Jian and killed him, and killed 38 people of Shi Husun, eliminating all the Shi family.
Ran Min married the daughter of the Dong family, the Dong family is rich and rivals the country, plus Fan Boyang, the richest man in Jiankang, supports Ran Min with all his might, not to mention that Ran Min has the power to the government and the opposition and holds the power of the army. For a time, Ran Min became the most important person in this dynasty. And now that the country is in turmoil, if there is no monarch to stabilize the hearts of the people, it is easy for other countries to take advantage of the loopholes. In the hearts of the ministers, Ran Min is the most suitable candidate.
In the same year, after Ran Min killed Shi Jian, 48 people, including Situ Shenzhong and Sikong Lang Khotan, respected Ran Min as emperor. But Ran Min thought it was inappropriate, because of the wanton massacre of the Hu people, although some people felt very happy, but a small number of people thought that Ran Min was bloodthirsty, and if he became a monarch, he would definitely be a tyrant. As soon as this judgment came out, it was recognized by many people, and if Ran Min ascended the throne, I don't know how much controversy it will cause.
Ran Min wanted to give the emperor to Li Nong, Li Nong lived and died with him, and he naturally knew him best. Li Nong's ability is not below him, and he will definitely not rule the country like the Shi family. Moreover, the Shi family is dead, and Ran Min has somewhat let go of his obsession with the throne. However, Li Nong was unwilling, he said that he only wanted to follow behind Ran Min.
Ran Min insisted on giving up to Li Nong, Li Nong resolutely asked Ran Min to be the emperor with death, so Ran Min usurped the throne in the southern suburbs, granted amnesty to prisoners all over the world, changed the year name to Yongxing, the country name Dawei, known as Ran Wei in history, and restored the surname Ran. He posthumously honored his grandfather Ran Long as Emperor Yuan, his father Ran Zhan as Emperor Liezu Gao, his mother Wang as the empress dowager, and his wife Dong as the empress. With Li Nong as Dazai, concurrently serving as a lieutenant, and recording Shang Shushi, he was named the king of Qi, and all the sons of Li Nong were named county dukes.
Civilian and military generals will be promoted to third-class official positions, and the knights will have their own ranks. He sent people to pardon those who gathered in various places to make trouble, but they did not return.
On the other side, Shi Yi heard that Shi Jian was dead, so he usurped the throne in Xiangguo and proclaimed himself emperor, and the leaders of each Yi who had troops in the prefectures responded one after another. When Ran Min heard this, he sent a messenger to the bank of the Yangtze River to report to the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "The rebellious Hu people have disturbed the Central Plains, and now they have been eliminated. If we can fight together, we can send troops. The court did not reply. Ran Min was extremely disappointed, and angrily killed Li Nong and his three sons, and at the same time were killed by Shangshu Ling Wang Mo, Shizhong Wang Yan, Zhongchang Shi Yan Zhen, Zhao Sheng and others. Yuan Zhen, the Taishou of Lujiang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, attacked Hefei, arrested the Nanban captain Santan, and moved the people away and returned.
In April, Shi Yi sent his prime minister Shi Kun to lead 100,000 soldiers to attack Yecheng and march to defend Handan. Shi Zhennan's general Liu Guo came from Fanyang to join Shi Kun. Ran Min defeated Shi Kun in Handan, and tens of thousands of people died. Liu Guo retired to Fanyang. Fu Jian entered the customs from Fangtou. Zhang Hedu and Duan Qin rendezvoused with Liu Guo and Jin Dolphin in Changcheng and were about to attack Yecheng. Ran Min sent Shangshu's left servant to shoot Liu Qun as the governor of Xingtai, and sent his generals Wang Tai, Cui Tong, Zhou Cheng, etc. to lead 120,000 cavalry to camp in Huangcheng, and Ran Min personally commanded 80,000 elite soldiers as their successor, and launched a fierce battle in Cangting.
Yao Xiang, Yue Xuan, Shi Kun and other troops attacked from three sides, Shi Yi attacked fiercely, and Ran Min's army was defeated. Ran Min lurked in the Xiangguo Palace, and more than a dozen knights fled to Yecheng. The Hu people who surrendered, Li Tekang and the others captured Ran Yin and the left servant Liu Qi and sent them to Shi Yi, who killed them all.
Since the end of Shi Hu, Ran Min has exhausted the warehouse storage to establish his kindness. At this time, he fought against Qianghu, and there was not a month without fighting. More than 100,000 people from the Qing, Yong, You, and Jing prefectures, as well as Zhudi, Qiang, Hu, and Barbarians, returned to their hometowns, met on the roads, killed and plundered each other, and died of hunger, disease, etc., and only two-tenths of them were able to reach their hometowns. The Central Plains were in chaos, and no one was engaged in farming anymore. Ran Min felt remorse for this, killed Farao's father and son, dismembered his body, and posthumously presented Wei Xu as the Great Situ.
Shi Yi sent Liu Xian to lead 70,000 soldiers to attack Yecheng. At that time, Ran Min was still in Yecheng, no one knew, and there were many discussions inside and outside, thinking that Ran Min was dead. Zhang Ai, the captain of the shooting sound, persuaded Ran Min to go out of the suburbs to calm the hearts of the people, Ran Min listened to this suggestion, and the rumors stopped.
Ran Min returned to the palace and said to the people left and right: "Banu, do I want you to save your life!" The key is to destroy Qunhu first, and then retreat to kill Wang Tai. So he led all the soldiers and horses to fight, defeated Liu Xian, pursued to Yangping, and beheaded more than 30,000 people. Liu Xian was frightened, and secretly sent an envoy to ask for surrender, asking to kill Shi Yi as a reward, and Ran Min reorganized the division and brigade and returned. When someone reported that Wang Tai had recruited the Qin people and would flee to Guanzhong, Ran Min was furious, killed Wang Tai, and exterminated his three clans. Liu Xian really killed Shi Yi and his Dazai Zhao Lu and more than ten other people, teleported Shi Yi's head to Yecheng, and sent hostages to ask Ran Min to save his life. The hussar general Shi Ning fled to the Kashiwa. Ran Min ordered the burning of the stone at the intersection of the road.
"Liu Xian, this person must not be inconsistent, and he must not believe it all," Zhong Xuan frowned and reminded Ran Mindao
"Naturally, Liu Xian is not only not credible, but must also be killed!" Ran Min is full of majesty, and he is already a generation of emperors.
In May, Liu Qi, the assassin of Yanzhou in Shiyi, returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with Juancheng. In July, Liu Xian led his soldiers to attack Yecheng, and Ran Min defeated their attack. Liu Xian returned to Xiangguo and became emperor. In August, Ran Min's Xuzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Cheng, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Wei Tong, Yuzhou Mu Ran Yu, and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Lehong all returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with their castles. The general Gao Chong of Pingnan and the general Lu Hu of the conquest arrested the Zheng Department of the Luozhou Assassin Shi and returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with the three rivers. Murong Biao captured Zhongshan, killed Ran Min's Ningbei Baitong, Youzhou assassin Liu Zhun, and surrendered to Murong Ke, the former Yan emperor.
In the eighth year of Yonghe, Liu Xian led the crowd to attack Changshan, and Changshan was too guarded by Suhai to complain to Ran Min. Ran Min left his general Jiang Gan and others to assist the crown prince Ran Zhi to guard Yecheng, and personally led 8,000 cavalry to rescue Changshan. Liu Xian's appointed Grand Sima, Wang Ning, a native of Qinghe, surrendered to Ran Min with Zao Qiang, and Ran Min incorporated the rest of their men, attacked Liu Xian and defeated him, pursuing deserters as far as Xiangguo. Liu Xian's general Cao Fuju opened the city gate to answer, and Ran Min entered Xiangguo, where Ran Min killed more than 100 people under Liu Xian and his ministers; burned the palace of Xiangguo and migrated the local people to Yecheng. Liu Xian's leading general, Fan Lu, led more than 1,000 soldiers to flee out of the city to Fangtou. ......
