Chapter 1 When the Opportunity Knocks on the Door 29.The Han Army is mighty

The four words "mighty Han army" represent supreme honor and absolute courage! It is the soldiers who shed countless lives and blood, and built it with victory after victory. It's not that taking two steps is mighty.

In the first month of 350, Ran Min defeated the 200,000 troops of Qianyan, captured more than 70,000, killed more than 30 generals, burned 200,000 grains and grass, and captured 28 cities of county size. After this battle, the name of Ran Min shocked the Central Plains.

In the first month, Ran Min changed the name of Zhao Guo to Wei with the prophecy "following Zhao Li", and the year name "Qinglong", and changed Shi Jian to Li Jian (he is Li Min). The entire Hou Zhao was unrecognizable.

In the first month, Ran Min led more than 1,000 cavalry to defeat Shi Kun's 70,000 army and beheaded more than 3,000 ranks.

In February, Ran Min killed Shi Jian, and at the same time, killed 38 descendants of Shi Hu and killed the Shi clan in Yecheng.

In the same month, Ran Min ascended the throne as the emperor, the country name Wei, the year name Yongxing, and the history name Ran Wei. The Han surname "Ran" was restored.

In March, Shi Huzi Shi Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangguo, and the Hu people in the Later Zhao region responded one after another.

Since then, Emperor Ran Min of Ran Wei and Emperor Shi of Later Zhao have begun to attack each other. One wants to eradicate the national thieves and restore Dazhao; One wants to exterminate Hu Yi and revive China. The bow is wound, the sword is unsheathed, and the hatred of the country and the family is revenge at this time! The flames of revenge were burning on both sides, from commoners to emperors.

However, compared to Shi Yuan, who has many Hu brothers, Ran Min has no friends. When Shi Yuan called on the world to fight against Ran Min, Ran Min was just alone, with the fire of revenge, looking at all his enemies angrily, ready to fight.

At the beginning of the founding of Ran Wei, Ran Min sought help from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and invited the Eastern Jin Dynasty to jointly attack the Central Plains. It was his home country, his compatriots, and the only place that could lend a helping hand to him, not to mention that they had a common enemy - Zhuhu in the Central Plains. However, the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually found many unkind words in Ran Min's letter, and they were originally dissatisfied with "Wei" (Jin Chengwei), so they ignored it. No reply!

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ran Min was a rebel, a Hu Yi, and everything was good, but he was not their compatriots and their brothers.

Not only that, in April 350, Ran Min killed Li Nong, and at the same time killed Shangshu Ling Wang Mo, Shizhong Wang Yan, Zhongchang Shi Yan Zhen, Zhao Sheng and others. The reason for this is unknown, but it can be found from the positions of the officials killed that there were leaders in this group, ministers of the court, and palace attendants. We can speculate on the reasons for their killings: internal and external collusion, with the intention of rebellion; wants to push Li Nong to the throne and replace Ran Min. The comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side have become the most direct threat to Ran Min's throne.

This was the environment that Ran Min faced at the beginning of the founding of the country. There is a strong enemy outside the pressure (the Hu people in the world discuss it); None of them are its allies (the only compatriot country that can help them ignores them, and later took advantage of the fire to rob and dig up the corner of Ran Min's wall); There is a brother wall inside, and he cut off his arm (killing Li Nong).

Ran Min, who was born in the military, does not have superb political talent, and there is no way to maneuver in this difficult environment at home and abroad, and rely on his incorruptible tongue to resolve the military revolution and eliminate the predicament. The only thing he could do was to take up arms, and in the most familiar and direct way, he would win a hope for himself and his people who were "rushing to enter the city" to survive in a desperate situation.

History destined Ran Min to grow up in blood and fire, neutralize the country in blood and fire, and then go to the end in blood and fire.

From the beginning of the founding of the country to the end of the country, Ran Min experienced six wars, and each time it was thrilling and remarkable. Beyond the chronological order, we will list the six wars between Ran Min and the Hu people below, and feel the glory of Ran Min together.

In the first battle, the Han cavalry broke through the Hun camp for 3,000 nights, killed several enemy generals, chased a hundred miles, and beheaded 30,000 Huns;

fought again, with 5,000 Han cavalry, Hu cavalry 70,000;

In the third war, with 70,000 and 40,000 beggars of the Han army, the begging rebel army broke more than 300,000 Hu coalition troops;

In four battles, first defeated and then won, 40,000 heads were beheaded by 10,000 people;

In the fifth war, with 60,000 Han troops, almost all of them annihilated more than 100,000 Qiang and Di coalition troops;

In six battles, with less than 10,000 foot soldiers, Murong Xianbei rode 140,000 iron horses, and won ten battles and ten victories!

A generation of war gods was born, and after several battles, Ran Min's army played the prestige of the Han family's iron cavalry, and the main force of the Qian tribe was completely wiped out, and it was difficult for an independent race to survive in the world. All the Hu tribes were severely damaged, and from then on they did not dare to underestimate the strength of the Han people.

We have to say that Ran Min is savage. Under the influence of Shi Hu and the cultivation of many years of battle formations, Ran Min rarely has the cultivation of a literati, and it is his motto to stop violence with violence. No compromise, no concessions, and no roundabout thinking. This certainly determined his eventual demise, but in that particular historical period, the Han nation, which was on the verge of extinction, needed exactly such a character the most. Tens of millions of people have died by the sword, but we still need to fight our way to survive with the sword.

If he were to live today, Ran Min would probably be a violent terrorist, endangering society and the unity and stability of the Chinese nation. But at that time, wasn't it the great savior of the people?

Later generations have a poem to praise and say: "Wuhu iron hooves step on the north, and the weak man has no choice but to beg." Thorn slaves endure humiliation and rejuvenate Han affairs, and all generations of merits are wasted! "Great, Ran Min!

Here I want to make a statement: this article, this book, is not to use the history of 2,000 years ago to insinuate or incite anything, the purpose is not here (I am ashamed, Xiao Ke is to make money and marry a wife). But it is also particularly necessary to face up to history, the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties is our past, and the shame of the martyrs is not our past? I remember that documentaries about history often say: Because we cherish peace, we look back at war. At this moment, when you read this, do you have a feeling of alarm bells ringing in your heart, the history of national division is the heaviest pain for everyone living on the land of China! It doesn't matter what ethnicity he or she belongs to!

Okay, let's move on.

Ran Min's actions condensed the northern Han people, the people had the will to follow to the death, and the heroes had the heart to fight to the death. The Hu Kou collapsed, the Hu people of all ethnic groups began to withdraw from the Central Plains, and the land of Kyushu finally regained its yellow color, and the main body of Chinese civilization that survived for a long time was finally continued because of this.

After research, the four words "mighty Han army" that we often call today did not come from the Han Dynasty's iron cavalry, but from Ran Min's army, a lone army fighting in a desperate situation. Under the leadership of Ran Min, the Ran Wei army won one victory after another, as if it reproduced the heroic style of the Han Dynasty that had long since passed, and the humiliation suffered for decades was swept away.

In fact, the national consciousness of the Han people is not strong, but the idea of universal harmony is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, the Hu people who entered the Central Plains simply cut us apart. For example, in the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, the Mongols, Semu, Han, and Nan were quite clearly distinguished, and the Han nation also drew a clear line for itself in passivity.

Later, although Ran Min failed, the spirit shown from him and countless Han people deeply shocked the Hu people of all ethnic groups.

Compromise and compromise cannot win dignity, and low-voiced peace cannot win dignity, especially when we are facing uneducated and unreasonable people. The only thing that can be done is to take up arms, and if you win, you live, and if you are defeated, you die. Victory requires the enemy to surrender to the earth; If you lose, you will die generously. The so-called etiquette and righteousness are the story after the knife and blood. Civilization communicates with civilization, and barbarism communicates with barbarism. The handsome literati of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were rarely impassioned in front of the steel sword and sword.

Throughout the wars after Ran Min established Ran Wei, only the first attack on Xiangguo and the final battle of Liantai were defeated, but this did not affect the prestige of Ran Min and his army. The defeat of Xiangguo, Ran Min's army was defeated for more than 100 days under the fortified city, and when it was exhausted, it was attacked by the Hu people of all departments, how can it be undefeated? Later, Ran Min turned the tide and turned defeat into victory, which can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. The battle of Liantai was fought against 140,000 Xianbei knights with 10,000 foot soldiers, and ten wins in ten battles, and the opponent was Murong Ke, the Xianbei god of war. You should be proud of Ran Min, although you are defeated in this battle!

Half a century later, the Han people finally established their own country again in the land of their ancestors. From Ran Min to ordinary soldiers, each of them firmly believes that they are shouldering a sacred mission. Defend their country and win the last hope of life for their people. They have no friends, they are in the center of a strong enemy, and they rise up in a desperate situation. Relying on the thin and simple spear and short sword in his hand, the Hu people in the Central Plains paid the heaviest price. The Han army is mighty, and there is no roar of "those who offend me and are strong, although they are far away, they will be punished", but they have the tragedy and determination of the Jedi counterattack! Every battle carries the courage to move forward, and every battle is a key battle of life and death (the defeat of Xiangguo, Ran Min lost 100,000 soldiers, and this battle laid the groundwork for the demise of Ran Wei).

The Karma people are not weak, in fact, the primitiveness and savagery that have always been maintained make them exceptionally strong. At the time of Ran Min's massacre, there was a tribe of about 10,000 people who survived because they surrendered to Xianbei in the north. And it was precisely this surviving tribe of the Karma that erupted in terrifying destructive power that followed. This tribe slaughtered the Xianbei people in the Xianbei civil strife, almost exterminating the Xianbei tribe. Later, due to the retaliation of the Xianbei people, the remaining Qianren (about 2,000 people) defected to the Liang Dynasty (502-557, founded by Xiao Yan) under the leadership of Hou Jing and became mercenaries. During the days of the Liang Dynasty, Hou Jing killed Emperor Wu of Liang, and carried out a bloody genocide of the populous and prosperous Jiangnan. Later, the Southern Liang general Wang Seng Bian, together with Chen Baxian (the founder of Southern Chen), Du Gong, Wei Zai and others, spent a lot of money to completely eliminate Hou Jing, and the Qian people really disappeared from the earth.

The impact of the Hou Jing Rebellion was long-lasting, and after Chen Ba first established the Chen Dynasty, he took many measures to restore the economy and population, but until the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, the population of the south still did not return to the size before the Hou Jing Rebellion. Moreover, this turmoil left the Southern Dynasties no longer had the strength to organize the Northern Expedition, and the Southern Dynasties' dream of dominating the world came to naught.

Hou Jing's Qian soldiers numbered only a few thousand, but the disaster he brought to Jiangnan was devastating. We can imagine that if the millions of Hu people entrenched in the Central Plains were not driven away, but multiplied in the fertile Central Plains, and in a few decades, their number would not be thousands but tens of millions, and at that time, what would be done to the literati and scholars in the south?

If it weren't for Ran Min and his iron-blooded Han army, we really wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences. Really, it will stunned our little buddies.

After Ran Min, Huan Wen finally began the Northern Expedition. His army was outnumbered, well-equipped, and well-trained. However, when they faced the golden iron horse of Hu Qi in the north, the battle between the two sides progressed like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves! It's just a pity that they are fallen leaves, and they are riding in the autumn wind.

The "Han" before Ran Min was weak, and the "Han" after Ran Min was still weak. But the short-lived Ran Wei was like a lightning bolt in the night, shocking Hu Yi and shining himself.

After Ran Min, when our ancestors bowed down to the Hu people again, they would definitely think in their hearts: In the past, we killed them without leaving a piece of armor, and in the future, we will definitely be able to.

The Han army is mighty, in fact, it is a spirit!
