Regarding Ran Min, I think I need to introduce the whole chapter. Although he has appeared many times in the previous article, it is still worth splashing ink on again. In that period of barbaric and chaotic history, who can shout for China, except for Ran Min, who else can we count on?

First of all, the question of Ran Min's name made me more entangled than the little cub (Shi Le) lying on the ground. Because, the change of his name and surname means a difference in the position of the nation. Hatred, or relatives, are transformed in the space of a word.

However, for most of his life, we can't deny that Ran Min is actually called Shi Min, and he has always regarded himself as a member of the Shi family. Regardless of it, I always like to call him Ran Min, after all, the previous change of surname can't be blamed on him, and we can't blame him.

Ran Min, the word Yongzeng, the small character thorn (jí) slave, the adopted grandson of Emperor Shi Hu of Later Zhao Wu. Father Ran Liang, the word Hongwu, Wei County Neihuang (now Henan Neihuang Northwest) people. Ran Min is a military family, and his ancestors served as the governor of Liyang in the Han Dynasty and served as the general of the Yamen for generations. However, in the generation of Ran Min's father Ran Liang, China declined, and the Ran family also declined. In those days when all the people in the world had nothing to continue and no way to make a living, Ran Liang, who was originally from a military family, joined the camp of the huge homeless people and became a member of the "begging army". Regarding the change of identity, we can even understand it this way: Ran Liang, who was supposed to be a government civil servant, became a contract worker for various reasons! It's the kind of person who has to carry the black pot after something happens now. Perhaps, for us, it is better to understand.

Most of the battles of the beggar army were fought with Shile, starting from Sima Teng to Shile's founding of the country, the army of flowing water, and the opponent of iron. People have been changing, but the battle has not stopped. In July 310, Shi Le defeated Chen Wu, a general of the beggar army, and captured Ran Liang. At that time, Shi Le, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, gave Ran Liang an evaluation: "This son is brave and commendable!" Later, Shi Hu accepted Ran Liang as his adopted son and changed his name to Shi Zhan. That year, Shi Zhan was twelve years old! When Ran Min was born, because of this, he could only be surnamed Shi.

On the question of surnames, this is a knot for thousands of years. One surname, one ancestor. Needless to explain, I believe, its significance speaks for itself.

After that, Shi Zhan participated in the battle, we can not go into details. Just know that Shi Zhan, who is brave and commendable, is brave and powerful, and invincible! Can.

Regarding Shi Zhan's death, it is recorded in the "Luoyang Memorabilia": In August 328, the former Zhao Liu Yao attacked Jin Yong City, beheaded the Zhao general Shi Zhan, and the corpse was more than 200 miles away. Shi Zhan died in the prelude to the decisive battle between the former and later Zhao, and at that time, he could be regarded as a well-deserved death.

I don't know how old Ran Min was at the time, but after Shi Zhan died, Shi Hu adopted him. As an adopted grandson and an orphan of a "martyr", Ran Min is very favored by Shi Hu and regards him as his own. This should be well known in the Later Zhao royal family, otherwise, Shi Zun would not have said that he wanted to make Ran Min the crown prince. Once, the Shi family treated Ran Min as their own, and Ran Min also felt that he was not an outsider. This feeling has been maintained by Ran Min for a long, long time.

In the four words "see as your own", I think we should pay the most attention to the word "such as"! Because it's not, that's why it's like that! When the contradictions between the ethnic groups broke out in an all-round way, all the people of the Qiang nationality told Ran Min with actions: "Such as" means not equal. Although it may have been really "like" before!

The evaluation of Ran Min in his childhood is quite high in the history books: Guo Min! Now when we are young, the public has also given an evaluation: greenhouse flowers. Maybe a gust of wind and rain will be enough to "destroy flowers". We are all children, but after 1,700 years, are we progress or degradation?

As an adult, Ran Min is eight feet tall, brave and good at fighting, brave and brave, and has many strategies! He is a rare military talent, and in the eyes of Shi Hu, who advocates force, this is an outstanding merit. He was awarded the general of Jianjie, and was appointed as a marquis of Xiucheng, and successively served as a general of Beizhonglang and a guerrilla general. Before Ran Min returned to the surname "Ran" of his ancestors, he had always appeared as a steel sword of the Later Zhao Group, and actively acted as an eagle dog for the stability and development of the Later Zhao regime.

Ran Min's battle to fame was the Battle of Changli in 338, which was the first time he led troops and appeared on the historical stage at the same time as Murong Ke, the Xianbei god of war. It's just that the history books record Murong Ke's bravery in detail, but there is very little ink on Ran Min, but after this battle, Ran Min became famous and was recognized by the Later Zhao military, and Shi Hu also began to realize his adoptive grandson's outstanding military ability, and he liked it.

Can it be said that "success is also Ke'er, defeat is also Ke'er"? Ran Min became famous because of the duel with Murong Ke, and Ran Min was destroyed because of the duel with Murong Ke. However, these two people have each achieved each other, a myth of the Xianbei God of War, and a legend of the King of Martial Mourning.

After the battle of Changli, Ran Min, who retreated, did another big thing: complaining.

It stands to reason that people who like to do this kind of thing are not authentic and not worthy of praise, especially Ran Min, as a military general, should be above board. But I have to write this paragraph, the king's foresight is shown in the dialogue between Ran Min and Shi Hu.

Although the battle of Changli failed, the personnel who made great contributions still had to be rewarded. For example, Fu Hong, the envoy held the festival, the governor of the six Yi military affairs, the champion general, and the prince of Pingxi County.

Ran Min sued him.

Out of selfishness, Ran Min Xu was jealous, the credit was greater than him, and the reward was more than him, and Ran Min was a little unconvinced in his heart. There may also be a lot of dirt on the battlefield, and it is reasonable to fight together in the same place, and some friction, but this is unknown. But I believe that Ran Min is out of loyalty to Shi Hu, being on the same battlefield, facing the same enemy, the friendly forces of the various units that didn't take much care of each other suddenly put together, and it is clear which is stronger and which is weak. Ran Min sensed Fu Hong's strength, and expected Fu Hong's threat to the Shi Group, how could he not tell him?

"Fu Hong's intelligence is outstanding, the soldiers are reciprocated, all the sons have extraordinary talents, and have 50,000 strong soldiers, the suburbs of the capital city, there is a dangerous community, and it should be secretly eliminated to secure the country." Without a careful and deep understanding of Fu Hong, Ran Min would not have said such a thing.

Judging from the subsequent development situation, Ran Min's suggestion is quite correct. Forty years later, it was Fu Hong's descendants who brought the whole of northern China back to unification. Swallowing Qianliang, destroying Qianyan, millions of male soldiers drank horses and Jianghuai, and the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty trembled under the scimitar iron horses of the descendants of Fu Hong, and almost unified China. Isn't it worth the vigilance of Hou Zhao at that time?

Ran Min didn't know the later history, but from Fu Hong's body, he saw the terrible and powerful, and saw a potential enemy that was enough to make him fearful. The so-called "secret elimination", killing him now can no longer be too public. Hidden dangers and threats already exist!

However, Shi Hu's decision was also right, "I am relying on their father and son to capture Wu (Eastern Jin Dynasty) and Shu (Cheng Han), why do I want to kill them?" Because of Ran Min's complaint, Shi Hu gave Fu Hong a more generous treatment.

The hidden danger is a matter of the future, and the Later Zhao Empire has disappeared before that day, but before the Later Zhao perished, Shi Hu, who fought in many ways, still used Fu Hong.

However, from the increase in Fu Hong's reward, we can still see that Shi Hu recognizes Ran Min's judgment. Give more rewards to reassure his heart, even if Fu Hong wants to rebel, he must weigh the favor of Shi Hu's more rewards. I don't think it's a trick of a little favor, and it's not a lot of white-eyed wolves. What's more, rebellion is risky, and actions need to be cautious! Without considerable strength, Fu Hong did not dare to act rashly. For Shi Hu, the so-called hidden danger is not a disaster. Why make it so obvious until the greater scourge of the Ming is eliminated? Shi Hu can be regarded as a politician with quite a few means, and it is not worth worrying too much about winning over those who should be co-opted and using what can be used, as long as it is still within a controllable range. Moreover, it turns out that until Shi Hu died, Fu Hong did not rebel, maybe it was kindness, maybe it was strength. Fu Hong's self-reliance was a matter after Shi Hu's death.

As for Ran Min. In this matter, I dare not compare him with Takeo Takeshi.

In August 339, Yu Liang, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, defended Wuchang and prepared for the Northern Expedition. In September, Ran Min defeated the Jin army at Cannan and killed the Eastern Jin general Cai Huai.

This was a large-scale offensive battle, and the famous generals of Later Zhao did their best to crush the Northern Expedition plan of Yu Liang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty through an effective attack. In this war, Ran Min played his role as a pioneer. Although the credit is not large, it must be pointed out here that Ran Min is not Ran Min yet, he is the general of Later Zhao, the eagle dog of Shi Hu, and he is fighting for his great country wholeheartedly. Kill his compatriots without mercy, although he has the blood of the Han people in his bones, but in his sleep, he has not woken up! Here, we must be soberly aware.

At this point, I have a problem that has always puzzled me, and I can't figure it out. Throw it to everyone, it's a consultation!

We can call the first generation of people who surrendered to foreign captives a traitor, so what about the second generation, what should we call him?

Later, it came to the matter after Shi Xuan was killed, more than 100,000 guards of the East Palace were exiled, and those who were unwilling raised the banner of resistance under the leadership of Liang Li. Ran Min, who went out to quell the rebellion, defeated the terrifying Liang Qian and quelled the rebellion, so the generals of the Hu and Han ethnic groups were all fearless, and Ran Min's prestige in the army was unprecedentedly high.

Before the counterinsurgency army returned to the capital, Shi Hu was already dead, and Later Zhao was also caught in the infighting for power. Ran Min was not spared, and could not have been spared, to be involved. And the prestige he accumulated in the army through his military exploits was the capital for him to fight for power and profit in that internal struggle.
