Chapter 367: Dragons and Underground
Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, is famous in the world for his extremely high military talent and poetry, however, when later people mention this famous hero in the troubled times, they will always be mixed with seven points of respect and three points of dissatisfaction and resentment, because these three points of resentment come from another characteristic of the life of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei: he likes to kill!
In order to avenge his father, Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou, and in order to continue the fight to the death with Lu Bu, who attacked his base camp Yanzhou, Cao Cao, who was seriously short of food, did not hesitate to slaughter the local residents of Yanzhou and used human flesh as military food, so he finally defeated Lu Bu and caused a great retreat in the people's livelihood in Yanzhou! In order to deter the powerful enemy Yuan Shao, shortly after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao ordered the slaughter of about 80,000 prisoners of war from Yuan Shao's side...... So much so that the population of the northern country has decreased significantly, and it has aroused a hero with a great sense of justice, and he has been fighting with him for a lifetime!
In fact, the original Wei Wu Cao Cao did not kill people, Cao Cao, who was born in a eunuch family, did not want to win a good reputation, his original ambition was just to be a capable minister who ruled the world, or to be a general who conquered the west, but he never had any prediction about the traitorous male who would divide the world in the future! It was only after he initially failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo for the country and fled with his life, and finally established a foundation in Yanzhou, Cao Cao's father and most of his relatives were killed by Tao Qian's subordinates in Xuzhou, so that Cao Cao lost his mind, attacked Xuzhou desperately, and indulged the soldiers to slaughter the city, and tens of thousands of innocent and tragic deaths! However, when Cao Cao fell into a state of madness, his backyard caught fire at this time, and the clans of Yanzhou took advantage of Cao Cao's invasion of the emptiness inside Xuzhou to collude with Lu Bu to rob him, subverting all of Cao Cao's foundations in Yanzhou, so that Cao Cao, who was under madness, almost immediately turned from a powerful prince to a lost dog!
And that period of time was also the saddest years for Cao Cao, and the 200,000 strong army lost the rear of Yanzhou. Almost half of them were dispersed, and even the remaining armies were immediately reduced in combat effectiveness due to the lack of food! In addition, Lu Bu, who had just captured Yanzhou, was watching Cao Cao with fierce eyes, waiting for the opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao at any time, what should Cao Cao do at such a moment of life and death. What could he do?
Perhaps the initial massacre in Xuzhou was just Cao Cao's temporary irrational behavior, and the idea of unforgiveness in wanting to punish sinners at all costs, however, when he caused the massacre in Xuzhou, and after the fall of Yanzhou, his rear, Cao Cao, who came to his senses, already knew that he was doomed to be unable to turn back, no matter what. Chinese civilization under the rule of Confucian culture would never forgive him for his massacre, which is why Zhang Miao, who had given him a lot of help, did not hesitate to betray Cao Cao after the massacre.
Therefore, even if Cao Cao, who had been in love with each other before, could not turn back, he could only go to the end, either be defeated and die in the end, or fight a way out of all difficulties and obstacles for himself...... To this end, do whatever it takes!
So after the Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao. It was in constant fighting that he spent the rest of his life - because his enemies never disappeared!
Maybe in this brilliant oriental civilization. There is a sentence that is indiscernible truth: our Oriental nation is a nation that does not pay attention to forgiveness, so hatred can only be washed away by a tooth for a tooth and a blood for blood!
So from the Warring States period to the end of the Han Dynasty, from the killing god Bai to the overlord Xiang Yu, and then to Wei Wu Cao Cao. All famous leaders and famous generals have had a large-scale pit killing of prisoners of war, in order to take revenge, or to eliminate the source of hatred to prevent future troubles! This undoubtedly further deepened the hostilities between the two sides, and made the war for the unification of the land even more difficult and cruel!
So eventually. The founding monarch who can complete the cause of the unification of the empire will undoubtedly be the strongest of that era! Smartest! The most cunning! And just as least, brutal! In contrast, it doesn't matter whether the bloodline of this founding monarch is not of Yanhuang blood, because as the strongest man in the world, he must be able to practice all the laws and regulations in the world at that time, otherwise, he will not live up to his name!
Therefore, even the founding emperor who was famous for his generosity and generosity in later generations, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also made the experience of conniving at his soldiers to slaughter the city, not because Liu Bang was thirsty for killing, but because under the situation at that time, the emperor could only use the means of slaughtering the city to show his determination, so as to deter the princes of the Quartet, give in to their fighting spirit, and make them dare not oppose him.
However, even with the vast land and resources of the land of China, the people are outstanding! Such an eloquent founding emperor as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, is still rare to see in a hundred years.
Therefore, when the war began, first the Yellow Turban Army led by Taiping Dao and the suppressive forces of the upper nobles strangled each other, and then, when the ruling center of the empire collapsed, the various princely forces that rose up together attacked each other! Obviously, after the war, both the ruling class and the poor people suffered heavy losses, but the war did not disappear because of this, but intensified and entered a more cruel situation.
The turbulent years of the 300 years can be subdivided into three phases if divided into relatively mild and calm confrontation phases, namely: the short-lived warlord chaos in the late Han Dynasty before the unification of the Jin Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era. After the unification of the Jin Dynasty for a short time, it soon fell into the era of war and division of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms. After the brief and relatively relaxed confrontation between the North and the South, the era of regime change and war and division between the North and the South was born!
In the first stage, the most dazzling unborn heroes at that time were Wei Wu Cao Cao and Han Zhaolie Liu Bei, followed by Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and a number of other princes, however, among these heroic heroes, except for Liu Bei, the emperor of Han Zhaolie, who had never been thirsty for killing, the rest had the stain of slaughter, especially Dong Zhuo, whose killing tyranny, even the mighty Cao Cao, who later unified the north, was far inferior!
In the second stage, the rebellion of the Eight Kings wantonly attacked and killed, which caused the Central Plains region, which was far from recovering from the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, to be seriously injured again, and the mediocrity and tyranny of the ruling class of the Jin Dynasty at that time were far better than the last years of the Han Dynasty in the past! Due to the war and the rebellion of the people at the bottom, a large number of people have lost a lot of people and the land has been abandoned, which has led to a great regression of social production capacity. In order to maintain their rule, the ruling class of the Jin Dynasty, which lacked population and labor, did not hesitate to deceive the various ethnic minority tribes in the frontier with rhetoric, and lured them to move inward because of their primitive lifestyle and admiration for Chinese culture, and then captured the attached minority population as slaves, so as to continue to maintain the luxurious and erosive hedonistic life of the ruling class! Naturally, this provoked a fierce revolt from the ethnic minorities within. The hatred of the serious ******** is planted, and it will break through the ground in the near future, so that the entire Chinese nation, which has long been weakened, will taste the bitter fruit!
The historical record of Wuhu Chaohua at that time refers to the five ancient ethnic minorities, namely: Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di, and Qiang, and in fact, because it was very common for the northern nomadic tribes to attack and kill each other at that time, it was almost impossible to unite the five races that were hostile to each other in normal times, however, because the dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty tried their best to capture the minority population as slaves. As a result, these ethnic minority residents who were originally hostile to each other had to gradually form partners of revenge in the harsh environment after becoming slaves, and the hatred that was hostile to each other before has gradually disappeared, just because at this time, they already have a common enemy who does not share the sky!
The second phase of war lasted for nearly 100 years, because it lasted for a long time, and the intensity of the turmoil was still higher than the first stage. Therefore, it is difficult to count the number of heroes emerging at this stage. It's just that among them, except for a few heroes like Liu Kunzu who are worried about the country and the people and are wise and brave, the vast majority of the strong people stand out through desperate fighting in this turbulent years in absolute chaos, so in addition to perseverance. In addition to the indomitable character, the universal common trait is tyrannical and murderous!
From Liu Yuan, Liu Cong and his son, to Shi Le, Shi Hu's uncles and nephews, and then to Murong Ke and Murong Chui brothers. Wu Mourning Heavenly King Ran Min, as well as Fu Jian Wang Mengjun Chen, Tuoba Jue, Tuoba Shou, Liu Yu and so on, these heroes and heroes certainly have a great cause, prestige and loyal followers, but even so, they cannot erase from history the huge killings they once caused. Liu Yuan's father and son sacked Luoyang twice and killed countless people, and Shi Le had an unforgettable hatred for the aristocracy because of his earlier experience of being captured and sold as slaves by the ruling nobles of the Jin Dynasty, so whenever his army besieged or captured the fleeing ranks of the nobles, Shi Le would always kill all the men and women, old and young, and even whether they were high or low. In all fairness, Shile was not easy to kill, and later, when he established his own regime, he once practiced benevolent government and restored social production, and the occasional killings were all to deter the enemy and consolidate the regime! Murder for revenge has been completely extinct, but even this does not erase the fact that Shile once caused a horrific massacre as an avenger.
After Shi Le's death, his nephew Shi Hu seized power and killed all of Shi Le's children! If Shi Le's killing can be called the bloody revenge of the avengers, then Shi Hu is completely an unscrupulous butcher beast!
Shi Hu liked to hunt, so he built a hunting ground with a vast area, and the people were not allowed to harm the wild beasts, and those who disobeyed the order were to be put to death, so that the people did not dare to hurt the wild beasts, but were injured by the wild beasts and countless people died!
After the palace group was completed, Shi Hu forcibly recruited tens of thousands of beauties from all over the country to be his concubines, which led to the destruction of countless families!
In order to maintain his ferocious luxury and pleasure, Shi Hu expropriated the people in the country, and the result was that the majority of the people could not bear it, and either committed suicide or rose up one after another, and Shi Hu was of course ruthless and brutally suppressed his own rebels!
Among the sixteen kingdoms, the Cheng Han was subjugated to Shi Le, Shi Hu's Later Zhao regime, and the envoys of the Cheng Han Dynasty met Shi Hu, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to Yecheng, and saw the trees along the way full of people who hanged themselves, the scene was more terrifying than hell!
Shi Hu, who first usurped the throne, was of course tyrannical and cruel without taboos, but in his later years, Shi Hu could be regarded as self-reaping, because his brutality not only led to the continuous resistance of the people under the regime, but even the sons he painstakingly cultivated were all under the influence of their own uncontrollable greed and tyranny, and finally set their sights on the supreme power position that their elderly father had at this time! Under the cruel situation, in order to consolidate his rule, Shi Hu finally did not hesitate to kill his two sons and all their families one after another. In order to deter all the challengers who dare to peep into the imperial power, however, the taste of power is so wonderful that it is impossible to escape like a poppy, and the brutal struggle for power still cannot be stopped, so that it waits until the end. When Shi Hu, who was exhausted at the center of the whirlpool of power disputes, finally had to set up his youngest son, who was only a few years old, as his heir, at this time, this brutal beast all his life, in fact, understood in his heart more than anyone else that the edifice was about to fall, and when he died, a huge hurricane of destruction would soon come! And at that time, he was already in despair, and he just wanted to be able to continue to spend the last period of his life in peace. As for what happens after death, Shi Hu, who has long been exhausted, can no longer think about it!
Then, shortly after Shi Hu's death, several brutal coups broke out in the Zhao court one after another, and Shi Hu's sons continued to lose their strength in the cannibalism, so that in the end, Shi Hu's adopted son Shi (Ran Li) Min seized power. And kill all the descendants of Shi Hu!
There are different opinions on the evaluation of Ran Min in history, and some say that he is a great hero who saved the Han nation. It is also said that he and Shi Hu are the same as each other, and they are both brutal butchers! Of course, this is also related to Ran Min's short and complicated life experience! Ran Min was originally a Han Chinese, but he was adopted by Shi Hu very early, and the education he received came from Shi Hu. It's not much. Moreover, when Ran Min succeeded in replacing Shi Hu's descendants. It was not that he wanted to kill all the Hu people from the beginning, but after Ran Min killed all the wives and concubines of Shi Hu, and all the Hu people in the city fled because of fear, he thought that the Hu people were not credible, so he united the Han people. And after that, without thinking about it, Ran Min promulgated the "Killing Hu Order", which later ruined his life and made the entire northern land bleed again! !
It should be said that the promulgation of the "Killing Hu Order" and Ran Min's personal action of leading the Han people to take revenge on the Hu people did change the strength of the Han nation and other ethnic minorities at that time to a certain extent, however, if someone overestimates the role of the "Killing Hu Order" because of this, then there is no doubt that this person's historical attainments must only be a bottle of water less than half a bottle of swaying half a bucket of water, so that he turned a blind eye to the cause of Ran Min's downfall in the end, and deliberately ignored Ran Min's slaughter of Hu. In the north, such as the former Qin, the Northern Wei and other powerful Sinicized Hu regimes have emerged!
It must be known that before Ran Min issued the order to kill Hu, because of the tyrannical rule of Shi Hu's father and son, the ******** on the northern land had become increasingly sharp, but because of Shi Hu's strength, he could only endure it silently, but Ran Min's order to kill Hu was like a lead, detonating this huge powder keg in an instant.
According to history, within a few months of the promulgation of the Hu killing order, the Hu people and Han people in the northern land attacked each other everywhere, and the result was that the population of the northern land, which had already been ravaged by Shi Hu's father and son********, was drastically reduced. But such huge casualties are absolutely unacceptable to both the Hu and Han sides.
Not to mention that Ran Min recorded his merits with the head of the Hu people, "Kill one person, get a knight!" "You know, although profit can drive people's hearts, it will also arouse the deep greed in the hearts of human beings, especially the one thing to be done, which is the greatest original sin that human beings have committed since their lives: killing their own kind!
In this bloody massacre, not only the Hu ethnic minorities in the north were killed, but also the Han people were indiscriminately killed - and as for the reason, of course, it was not just a manslaughter. After all, compared with the danger brought by fighting an enemy who is in a desperate situation and desperately resists, it is too easy to kill the good and take the risk, so the careerists who have no moral bottom line hunt the Han people without the slightest wave in their hearts, and then use the heads of these people to disguise the Hu people in exchange for rewards.
For the gloom in this, the common people of the world will inevitably feel deeply about this, so that after the initial madness, the enthusiasm of the people of the world to destroy Zhuhu was quickly extinguished, however, Ran Min was not able to immediately perceive this situation, and even still thought that his "Killing Hu Order" was a great contribution to the Han people!
is so confused about the real situation under his own rule, Ran Min is just a martial artist after all! So much so that later, this invincible general was defeated and died, and was defeated by the army from the Xianbei Murong clan, it is not surprising, his life is both lamented and pathetic for future generations.
Ran Min's death can also be said to be the second-order war, and it is also the culmination of the three hundred years of turmoil, because after the death of Shihu Ran Min, although the regime change in the north still did not stop, but whether it was the Murong Jun Murong Chui brothers, or the Mengjun ministers of Fu Jian, Tuoba Gui Tuoba Shou, they no longer chose to provoke Hu Han vendetta to maintain their rule, so as not to suffer the fate of Shihu Ran Min.
Therefore, during this period, the Hu and Han sides were finally able to recuperate and recover during this period of time!
Peace in troubled times is especially precious, especially after a hellish blood feud that you have just experienced to the death! Therefore, when the difficult peace finally came, the Hu and Han sides, who did not want to experience such a hellish nightmare again, finally merged together in the long turbulent years!
Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Shou attacked the Southern Dynasty after unifying the north, and announced the bankruptcy of the plan to unify the north and the south after the bloody encounter, and thus the pattern of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties was formed, and at the same time, the end of the second phase of the 300-year troubled era and the beginning of the third stage were announced! (To be continued.) )

This "Kabaneri of Iron City" is really good! The style is a bit of a return to the classics.,I just like the big watery eyes in the character design of Miki Haruhin.。 And the quality of this picture is directly after the theater version, which is a bit powerful. It's the plot and world view of the first episode that are slightly similar to "Attack on Titan", so let's catch up and watch it later.
