About Chapter 26 Synopsis: Later Zhao Emperor Shi Hu died, the young crown prince Shi Shi succeeded to the throne, and Shi Shi's brother Shi Zun colluded with Ran Min, Fu Hong, Yao Yizhong and others to seize the throne. After the deed was completed, Ran Min was left in the court, and Fu Hong and Yao Yizhong led their troops to garrison the field. Ran Min successively abolished Shi Zun and Shi Jian, and finally seized the power of the Later Zhao Empire and established the Ran Wei regime. However, the Later Zhao clan Shi Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Hebei, continued the Guozuo of the Later Zhao Empire, and united with the Xianbei Murong Department of Liaoxi to establish the former Yan regime against the Ran Wei regime, but was defeated by Ran Min, and the Later Zhao Empire, which had been established for 32 years, finally perished.

In this story, as we said before, after Shi Hu's death, the Later Zhao Empire, which was established by the Qiang people as a small tribe, will inevitably not conform to the general historical trend of ethnic integration. Therefore, it was eventually replaced by Ran Min, but the Ran Wei regime established by Ran Min was not stable, and Ran Min replaced the Later Zhao regime, and at the same time took over the various chaotic ethnic spears within the Later Zhao regime. At the beginning of his reign, Ran Min, who was born as a military general, had actually already seen the threat of the nomadic tribes living in the Central Plains to their rule, especially the Ran Min who established the Later Zhao Empire.

For Ran Min's order to kill Hu, many of us today, many people are extremely proud of his move, thinking that this is simply an act of safeguarding the dignity of our Han nation, and even many people who know this period of history admire Ran Min's five-body throw, and the praise of Ran Min is even more praiseworthy, and there is a great chance that Ran Min will be praised as the great leader of our Han nation during the Five Hu Rebellion. Here, I use my own point of view to talk about Ran Min's order to kill Hu.

As for the Hu killing order issued by Ran Min, I think it is actually an administrative order that completely violates the principles of heaven. Although Ran Min was born in the ancestors of the Han nationality, because the ancients did not have a national concept, it is impossible for Ran Min to understand the national righteousness, and the main purpose of the Hu killing order he promulgated was actually to maintain his feudal rule, but also to usurp the Later Zhao regime established by the nomadic Qian. In fact, by inciting national "shields," in the name of avenging the shame of the Han ancestors, he made a name for himself, won the support of the Han ancestors, and eliminated the political enemy. However, using the national shield to achieve one's own political goals is actually a very hateful and shameful act. Isn't this kind of method often used by the current superpower, the United States? But in which country did the United States get a good name for causing trouble? We can't see it at all, and the political goals that the United States wants to achieve have also achieved little results, but on the contrary, the people of all countries that have been troubled by it have gritted their teeth against the United States, and the United States itself has been mired in overseas wars. This kind of practice of the United States has already set a very bad example as early as the Ran Wei regime during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms in China's history.

Let's not talk about whether Ran Min's killing order can maintain the stability of the life of the Han ancestors in the Central Plains and not be harassed by nomads. Let's just say that the Ran Wei regime he established himself was only less than three years old. It was divided between the former Yan regime established by the Xianbei Murong Department and the former Qin regime established by the Di people Fu Hong. His order to kill Hu did not play any role in curbing the power of the nomads. Is it just to ensure the stable life of the Han ancestors in the Central Plains? In fact, there was no order to kill Hu, the ancestors of the Han nationality because of the large population. Whether it is a regime established by a nomadic or a sedentary people. It is impossible to exterminate the ancestors of the Han nationality. The killing of the Han ancestors by the nomads recorded in the history books. There are often elements of exaggeration, and the Han and Zhao regimes established by the nomads, the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu people of the Later Zhao regime, although the Han ancestors killed at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is absolutely impossible to have a large-scale massacre, and these two nomads are only according to some specific conditions of the city at that time, and there are murders of the Han ancestors. When they established their own regime. On the contrary, they tried their best to maintain their rule by solving the livelihood problems of the people of all ethnic groups under their rule. Ran Min's order to kill Hu is absolutely a perverse political act, and it is completely impossible to play any role in maintaining the long-term peace and stability of his regime, and will only plunge his regime into the vast sea of people's war of all nationalities. In the end, it was thrown into the trash by people of all ethnic groups.

According to historical records, after Ran Min issued the order to kill Hu, more than 200,000 Hu people were killed. Even the Han ancestors, who looked similar to the Hu people, were wrongly killed. I think this should also be a false statement in the history books. There must be a killing of Hu people, and there must also be cases of wrongful killing. But it is difficult to reach the number of more than 200,000, and at that time, only the Qi people could be determined to be Hu people by their appearance, because we also said before that the Xiongnu are typical Mongols, that is, yellow people. It is difficult to distinguish from our Han people in appearance, unless the Xiongnu people have West Asian ancestry, the physiognomy characteristics are obvious and easy to recognize. The people of the Qiang tribe have lived in the Guanlong area since ancient times, and have been mixed with the Han residents for a long time, so it is impossible to be much different from the Han ancestors in appearance, and the Qiang tribe in the Central Plains at that time was under the leadership of Fu Hong and Yao Yizhong, and there will never be a large-scale massacre. I think that most of the people who were killed because of the killing of Hu Ling were the Qiang people, because the Qiang people have obvious characteristics of the West Asian race, so among the Han people, it is easy to be recognized, and the Qiang people are the main ethnic group of the Later Zhao Empire, Ran Min's killing of the Hu Ling is nothing more than to maintain his own rule, eliminate his political enemies, and kill the Qiang people on a large scale, which is completely in line with his political goals. And because of their small population, their faces are easily recognizable. Therefore, the Qiang people should be the direct victims of the killing of Hu Ling. This also led to the fact that after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was no record of the Qiang people in the history books.

However, I was also skeptical about the figure of more than 200,000 Hu people killed at that time. Because in ancient times, social productivity was extremely low, and killing people was not an easy thing to do, and human life was sometimes fragile, and sometimes tenacious. It is unimaginable that our ancient ancestors were able to kill more than 200,000 Hu people in a short period of time. As a comparison, let's talk about the situation of the Nanjing Massacre, in which the Japanese devils carried out more than 10 days of burning, killing and looting, using modern weapons, to massacre unarmed Chinese residents, the number of which reached a heinous 300,000. But you must know that the Japanese used modern weapons, and our Han ancestors during the Sixteen Kingdoms period did not have modern weapons in the hands of the Japanese at all, and the slaughter of the Hu people relied on ordinary objects at home, even if the troops at that time also used cold weapons, the killing efficiency was extremely low, even if the large-scale slaughter of the Hu people waiting in line to cut off their heads is also a very difficult thing. What's more, what Hu person can willingly lead the neck and kill? In terms of personality, the Hu people are not like our Han ancestors, who are obedient and wait in line for our Han ancestors to kill, and they will inevitably resist.

Let's talk about the large-scale massacre in ancient times, the history books record that at the end of the Warring States Period, the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, the Qin general Bai Qikeng killed more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers, but now our archaeologists excavated only a few hundred bones in the ancient battlefield of Changping, plus the clean-up of all dynasties in history, and the bones that have not been excavated, the entire Changping ancient battlefield can have more than 100,000 bones even if it is a huge number, the Han ancestors and army in the Sixteen Kingdoms period will not be stronger than the Qin army in the Warring States Period, Therefore, the number of 200,000 Hu people slaughtered is extremely watery.

So I suspect that the number of Hu people killed as much as more than 200,000 is likely to be a fake number reported by local officials at that time in order to cater to Ran Min. Moreover, it has been 30 years since Zhao Liguo, and the nomads living in the Central Plains have definitely existed for more than 30 years, and they should have lived with our Han ancestors, and I believe that most of the Hu and Han people get along relatively well. Even if it is because of the order to kill Hu issued by Ran Min, there must be cases where Hu people are killed. However, I think that the benevolent ancestors of the Han nationality should still have a large number of Hu people who get along with them day and night, and because of the killing order, a large number of Hu people have passively given up their way of life, in order to better avoid disasters, they can only give up their living habits and completely integrate into the Han ancestors. In particular, the relatively small number of the Qi people living in the Central Plains can only integrate with the Han ancestors, or flee back to the northern Mongolian steppe to integrate with other nomadic peoples. After the establishment of Zhao, the Zhao people gradually withdrew from the historical stage because of Ran Min's order to kill Hu, and completely integrated into our Han ancestors and nomads.

Although Ran Min's order to kill Hu objectively accelerated the pace of national integration and can be regarded as conforming to the trend of historical development, this extremely inhumane decree will only deepen the contradictions between the various nationalities in the Ran Wei regime established by him, and the people of all nationalities will not be able to let this perverse ruler have any good end, and the Ran Wei regime he created will not be able to have a long-term political situation, nor will it be possible for it to exist for a long time. If you want to solve the national problem, it is based on the premise of equality and unity of all ethnic groups, the common development and common prosperity of all ethnic groups, and it is impossible to rely on great nationalism to carry out tyrannical behavior, and carry out a one-size-fits-all solution, the migration theory put forward by the family of the Western Jin Dynasty is not recognized and adopted, and the killing order of Ran Min, the founder of the Ran Wei regime, is actually a practical action carried out in accordance with the theory of migration theory, but it has no effect at all, and in less than three years, Ran Min was captured by the former Yan Emperor Murong Jun, The Ran Wei regime was destroyed, and Ran Min was sent to Longcheng to be beheaded. The former Yan established by the Xianbei Murong Department and the former Qin established by the Di people occupied the Guandong and Guanzhong regions of the northern land respectively, and the nomads not only did not decline because of the killing of the Hu Order, but the situation of entering the Central Plains was even greater, which can be seen that the Western Jin Dynasty abandoned the migration theory is nothing more than a very wise choice, and the Ran Wei regime put the migration theory into practice, which is completely a stupid pig behavior of Li Lingzhi, and Ran Min, who issued the killing Hu Order, ended up in a different place The result is also deserved.
