Note: Before writing this chapter, Lao Wang was a little hesitant, not knowing if some of the content was too sensitive. After thinking about it for a while, I was ready to write it. This is because looking at history in two, facing its essence squarely, and discarding its dross is the most correct attitude to study history and govern the world, and this premise is to let everyone have a comprehensive understanding of history. If many historical facts cannot be seen in the public on the grounds of so-called influence on national unity, this is also incompatible with the theme of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee on cultural power. Moreover, although the process of national integration will inevitably have iron and blood, and it will inevitably be bloody and bloody, we should see that many ethnic groups that depend on each other and live in the land of China with great difficulty have finally completed the great integration and become the most vigorous nation in the world, and also announced to the world that the Chinese nation is based on culture rather than blood, just like the sea gathering rivers. This is the positive energy that we should face squarely and deserve to write about. Therefore, Lao Wang decided to write this chapter, and asked the Fang family to criticize and correct the inappropriateness.

In 349, Shi Hu finally fell ill and died at the age of 54.

Han Feizi advocated holding the law, dealing with the situation, and using techniques, and the law was mostly applied to the "untouchables", and died in prison at the age of 47. Shang Ying cast spells with an iron fist, broke the rule of etiquette, and died of a car crack, only living to be 52 years old. Confucius advocated benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and lived to be 73 years old. Mencius admired the nobility of the people and the lightness of the king, and lived to be 84 years old. Mozi advocated both love and non-aggression, and lived to be 86 years old. The founding marshal of New China, although he experienced thousands of miserable winds and cold rains, was dedicated to serving the people, and half of the 10 people lived to be over 89 years old.

The relationship between faith and longevity is worth pondering.

Shi Hu, who only believes in power and killing, although he has experienced a hundred battles and is as healthy as steel, he is angry and almost crazy, and his internal organs have never had a moment of peace, so he received a boxed lunch at the age of 54.

However, a generation of demon kings of the mixed world has gone to the western sky by themselves, but the world has not yet achieved a moment of peace. There was an undercurrent surging in the Later Zhao dynasty and the opposition, and the various factions were secretly wrestling with each other, and the goal was all directed to one - the throne. The capable son was almost killed by Shi Hu himself, and the situation of the remaining sons and grandchildren is as follows:

1, Prince Shishi. In addition to being Shi Hu's son and prince, Shi Shi's bloodline is also relatively special. As mentioned above, in 329, Liu Yao, the former Zhao Xiongnu Emperor, was captured and killed by Shi Le, the Later Zhao Xionghu Emperor, and Liu Yao's youngest daughter, Princess Anding, was accepted as a concubine by Shi Hu because of her beauty, and gave birth to Shi Shi. Shi Shi belongs to the mixed blood of Xiongnu and Qianhu.

In 348, Shi Hu was instigated by Shi Shi's mother, Zhaoyi Liu, and his general Zhang Jackal, to make Shi Shi, who was only 9 years old, the crown prince. In 349, Shi Hu died, and the 10-year-old Shi Shi succeeded to the throne, and the power was in the hands of his mother, Empress Dowager Liu and Zhang Yun.

Liu Yao, the Xiongnu emperor who was destroyed by the Shi family, completed a phased counterattack with blood.

2, King Yan, Governor of Dadu, Prime Minister Shi Bin. After Shi Hu became emperor, his sons Shi Zun and Shi Bin were most likely to become crown princes, but under the operation of Liu and Zhang Jackal, Shi Shi was made crown prince. After Shi Hu's death, Liu and Zhang Jackal were worried about Shi Bin's rebellion and managed to kill Shi Bin.

3, general, left prime minister Shi Zun. Shi Zun is Shi Hu's ninth son, and his mother is the famous acrobat Zheng Cherry. When Shi Hu was seriously ill, Shi Zun was ordered to lead the army to guard the right side of the pass.

4, Shi Hu's adopted grandson, the Han general Shi Min.

The youngest son succeeded to the throne, the queen mother was regent, and some of the other princes were killed, and some led heavy troops to guard outside, how can such a political situation be stable?

Sure enough, not long after the little boy Shi Shi succeeded to the throne, Shi Zun rebelled at the instigation of Shi Min.

The rebels of Shi Zun and Shi Min actually won the hearts of the people of Later Zhao, and the soldiers defected one after another, and soon captured Yecheng, the capital of Later Zhao, and Zhang Jackal, Liu Yao's daughter Empress Dowager Liu and Emperor Shi Shi were killed. Shi Shi reigned for only 33 days, and the Later Zhao Emperor became Shi Zun.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

Shi Zun had no son, and when he rebelled and seized the throne, he promised his ally Shi Min: After the matter is completed, I will be the emperor and make you the crown prince (work hard!). It was done, and Er's was the second). In terms of seniority, Shi Min should be Shi Zun's nephew, and Shi Zun's promise without children is not abrupt at first glance. However......

Later, Zhu Di, the king of Mingyan, rebelled and was in distress during the Battle of Puzikou, and at the moment of crisis, he needed the death of his second son Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Di said a meaningful word to his second son, which instantly made Zhu Gaoxu do his best. --"The son of the world is sick". Shizi, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi, is not in good health. This sentence made Zhu Gaoxu think about it, saw the hope of succession, and desperately saved his father under the encouragement of a bright future.

The end result? Zhu Gaochu was put in a copper vat by Zhu Gaochi's son, and he was burned on the outside and tender on the inside. Blazing (fire), Xu (warm), when Zhu Di named the two brothers, did he know that the eldest son wanted to light a fire for the second son to send warmth?

The promises made to the allies at the time of the seizure of power were not credible even between father and son, let alone nominal uncles and nephews who were not related by blood. Sure enough, after Shi Zun ascended the throne, he stopped admitting his account and appointed Shi Bin's son Shi Yan as the crown prince. The reason why Shi Zun broke his promise should be related to Shi Min's Han identity.

If you don't believe it, you don't know what it can do. Shi Min's loss can be imagined, and Zhao Juchao can see it very clearly up and down - Shi Min will not be willing. In order to stabilize the Zhao regime, many ministers advised Shi Zun to get rid of Shi Min as soon as possible.

Shi Zun was undecided.

If you don't make a move, I'll plan a big game of chess. Although Shi Min was born on a horse and is known for his bravery, and deceit and scheming are not his forte, he is a Han after all, at least in terms of playing with his heart, he is still the ancestor of these Qian.

He has been secretly building a united front for a long time.

In the era of war, combat power is the greatest productive force. Shi Min's combat power, inside and outside the Later Zhao Dynasty, whether it is Han or ethnic minority soldiers, are deeply impressed, therefore, he has always gathered a group of soldiers who are willing to follow him to fight the world, including Li Nong and other senior generals. But if you want to make the backbone of the Later Zhao army completely fall to you, you have to draw a salary from Shi Zun.

One day, Shi Min went up to the court and handed over a thick piece like a brick. Shi Zun opened it and saw that there was a long list of rewards, which Shi Min asked for rewarding his soldiers, and asked them to serve as generals outside the palace, knights and marquis.

"Whether it is punished or not, it is not appropriate to have similarities and differences", the reward is a major event, and it must be carefully considered. Shi Zun, who carefully read the list, said that most of the people had no basis for rewarding them and would not be allowed.

The most effective way to incite other people's negative emotions is to use "I wanted to give it to you, but so-and-so hindered you from getting it". Just like some lawyers in the judicial field now, before taking on a case, they pat their chests and pack tickets, dare to take any case, and once they lose the case, they immediately "explain" to the client - "I could have won, but the judge is black".

And the biggest hatred in life, in addition to killing his father and taking his wife, is to smash people's jobs.

When Lao Wang was in graduate school, he encountered the suspension of SARS classes and went to work in a construction company in Shanghai. There is a master surnamed Zhu in the project department, a native of Shangyu, Zhejiang, in his fifties, bald and slightly fat, smiling all day long, he is talented with a middle school education, and all the propaganda slogans on the construction site are done by him alone, a brush, and a bucket of paint, and the words written are really the same as the printed font, which is pleasing to the eye. After a long time of contact, he slowly opened his heart and told Lao Wang about the old past.

At that time, Master Zhu had excellent academic performance, but because of a sentence from a local authority, he lost the opportunity to change his identity and did not complete the transformation from a farmer to a cadre. Soon, when the special period of ten years came, he led a group of red generals to rush into the leader's house, ordered him to kneel, and punished the leader for sabotaging the policy of intellectual youth going to the mountains and going to the countryside......

When describing the events of decades ago, this usually amiable middle-aged and elderly man actually had a chilling murderous aura in his eyes and a refreshing energy after happiness and revenge......

Smashing people's jobs has accumulated a bitter hatred, whether this hatred can be counterattacked, and when it will be counterattacked, no one knows, it depends on the situation.

Shi Min used this hatred. A large number of celebration banquets have been prepared, and the disappointment and resentment towards Shi Zun can be imagined among the soldiers who are waiting to be added to the knighthood.

Shi Zun is not without eyeliner, and soon someone gave feedback on Shi Min's recent performance. Shi Zun summoned his elder brother Shi Jian, Leping Wang Shibao, Ruyin Wang Shi Kun, Huainan Wang Shi Zhao and others into the palace to discuss countermeasures at the Empress Dowager Zheng Cherry.

It can be seen that although Shi Min is also surnamed Shi, it is a changed surname, and this group of people is Shi Hu's species. The stones held a meeting, and there was only one topic - whether to kill Shi Min or not.

Shi Zun: The signs of Ran Min's disloyalty to the monarch have gradually become apparent, how about getting rid of him?

Brother Shi Jian was the first to jump out and waved his fist in support: It should be so!

The other stones are divided.

Empress Dowager Zheng Cherry: When the army was raised in Licheng, if there was no Ran Min, how could there be today? Ran Min is a little arrogant, he should be lenient with him, and he hurriedly killed him, which is not appropriate.

The central meaning of the acrobat is: The reason why Shi Zun was able to succeed to the throne is that Shi Min has merit, and he can't kill him. The Queen Mother's speech has a decisive effect. The matter of killing Shi Min was put on hold for the time being.

However, Shi Min soon learned that Zhongshi would not bring him to the meeting, and he also knew the intention of the gang to hold the meeting. Who is the leaker?

It was Shi Jian, the first one who jumped out and agreed to kill Shi Min. The conspirator became a leaker, and the purpose was not to save Shi Min, who had no blood relationship with him, but only one real purpose.

Borrow a knife to kill your brother.

Shi Hu's son is really ruthless, and Shi Jian, Shi Zun's extremely trusted brother, even has the idea of killing Shi Zun as the emperor. Although they are not siblings of the same mother, they are blood siblings after all, and they are a little embarrassed, so let's borrow a knife.

This knife is naturally Shi Min. When Shi Jian participated in the meeting of the stones, he secretly sent the eunuch Yang Huan to quickly tell Shi Min the news.

Shi Min got the report and smiled slightly. Su Yan, Zhou Cheng and others who were sent to the reward (unsuccessful) list rushed into the palace with three thousand heavily armed soldiers.

In the palace, Shi Zunzheng was playing against a glamorous lady, and when he saw the Emperor Capture Rangers, he was a little surprised: Who is rebelling here?

Zhou Cheng's answer is quite artistic: Yiyang Wang Shijian should be established as the heir.

This answer perfectly concealed the name of the leading brother Shi Min, and put Shi Jian in front. As for whether Shi Min participated, Shi Zun, you can go by yourself.

Shi Zun thought for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: I'm still like this, how long can Shi Jian last?

Zhou Cheng and the others didn't care how long Shi Jian could last, they just carried out Shi Min's order to prevent Shi Zun from holding on any longer, so they hugged him with a hula and slashed together, and Shi Zun spilled blood in Kunhua Hall on the spot. Zhou Cheng and others were red-eyed, and the famous acrobat Zheng Cherry also went underground with his son to see Shi Hu.

The leaker Shi Jian succeeded to the throne smoothly and implemented a general amnesty. Ren Shi Min was the general and was crowned King Wude. He appointed Sikong Li Nong as the Great Sima, and at the same time oversaw the Shangshu ministry.

Shi Min and Li Nong were both Han Chinese, one holding military power and the other holding political power. Could it be that the lowest race of the Later Zhao Empire has ushered in the dawn of a turnaround? Let's see.

One day in December 349, when the moon was light and the stars were sparse, and the night was dark and windy, more than a dozen masked black-clothed men with sharp blades infiltrated the Kunhua Hall and assassinated the targets - Shi Min and Li Nong.

Shi and Li, both of whom were famous generals in a hundred battles on horseback, reacted differently from ordinary people, and quickly drew their knives to fight back. After a clanging and howling wolf, a dozen men in black fell down, and only three escaped.

Shi and Li led people to chase after each other until they reached the West China Gate. Suddenly, a group of samurai rushed out from the opposite side, killing the three black shadows in an instant. Shi and Li took a closer look and were surprised.

The three people who fell to the ground, one was Zhongshu Ling Li Song, one was the general Zhang Cai in the palace, and the other was Shi Hu's fourth son, Shi Bao, the king of Leping.

The samurai who killed these three people were the forbidden army in the temple. The generals led by Shi Min clenched their fists: King Wude is frightened, His Majesty knows that King Leping is rebelling and wants to harm King Wude, so he specially ordered me to come to the rescue.

Zhongshu Ling, the secretary general of the emperor's side; The general of the palace, the captain of the security guard by the emperor's side. These two people followed Shi Bao to rebel? Rebel and don't kill the emperor, assassinate me Shi Min and Li Nong?

Shi and Li looked at each other speechlessly.

As mentioned earlier, as a result of the conflict between the Shi family, you can make a long list of martyrs, and it is tiring to write. Killing and killing, now only Shi Jian and Shi Min are left, and if the two die again, it should be the end of the show, right?

Too young, too simple. Shi Jian's idea of killing Shi Min actually caused an unprecedented vendetta of the Hu and Han nationalities, which profoundly changed the historical course of North China and even the whole of China.

At the time of Shi Jian's accession to the throne, the biggest social problem in northern China was the gradual intensification of the contradictions between the Hu and Han ethnic groups, and the two sides continued to set off riots and mutinies, and finally intensified to an unprecedented level.

As mentioned above, as early as 304 A.D., at the time of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", Wang Jun, the warlord of Youzhou in the Western Jin Dynasty, in order to crusade against Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, allied with his son-in-law Duan Xianbei to raise troops together. The Xianbei soldiers of the Duan clan took the opportunity to plunder the Central Plains, looting countless wealth, not to mention tens of thousands of Han women. On the way back to the division, the Xianbei soldiers wantonly raped the captive Han women, and at the same time used these women as military food, slaughtered and cooked, and called them "two-legged sheep".

When I walked to Yishui, Hebei, I only had 8,000 left. Wang Jun was a little unbearable and wanted to keep these women. The Xianbei half-orcs couldn't finish eating for a while, and they didn't want to let go, so they drove all these women into the easy water and drowned, and the easy water cut off the flow.

This account may be exaggerated. However, we who have been in modern civilized society for a long time should never underestimate the cruelty of iron and blood that we will inevitably experience in the process of national integration. If you don't believe it, just look at Armenia today, look at the Kurds today, and look at the Russian-Ukrainian war today.

By 349 A.D., the number of Hu people who had moved to the Central Plains had reached five or six million. They moved to the Central Plains in the Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, and Shi Zhao dynasties for various reasons. Some were forcibly moved in by the government at the time, some moved in on their own initiative, and some were brought in by armed force.

During the Taikang period of the Western Jin Dynasty (280-289), the population of the country was only more than 1,600,000, and if calculated according to the average of the north and south, the population of the north was only more than 800,000. As soon as these five or six million Hu people entered the Central Plains, the number was quite astonishing. Especially in the north, in many places, the Han people have even become "ethnic minorities".

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the vast area of northern China, south to the Yangtze River, north to Yanliao, west from Guanlong, east to the East China Sea, due to social turmoil, there were constantly Hu people falling into the grass and invading the place. In the early days, most of them did not dare to openly oppose the rule of the Western Jin Dynasty. Until the Huns Liu Yuan, the Xiongnu Shi Le and other Hu chieftains rebelled, the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu people merged, and the iron cavalry swept across the entire Yellow River Valley, and the Hu flute was sounded everywhere in North China.

Although the Xiongnu Liu Han regime and the Qianzhao regime in northern China absorbed Han Chinese to participate in politics, they essentially implemented the policy of Hu and Han partition, and the Han people were in a position of oppression and enslavement. As mentioned earlier, in the Later Zhao during the reign of Shi Hu, the Han people were classified as the lowest fifth class of people, even inferior to beasts. On the way from Chang'an to Luoyang and then to Yecheng, the trees along the way were full of people who had hanged themselves, and the city walls were full of Han heads.

The massive decline in the population of the north has led to a large amount of barren land, resulting in a scene of thousands of miles of red land, destroying the ecological balance, and the tigers and wolves and other wild beasts are breeding in large numbers. Shi Hu was very pleased to see that there were many people of the same kind, and designated tens of thousands of square kilometers of land south of Yecheng as his royal private hunting ground, stipulating that wild beasts could only eat Han people, and Han people were not allowed to throw a stone at the wild beasts, otherwise they would be "guilty of beasts" and would be punished with death.

The bloody massacre and brutal policy of ethnic oppression forced a large number of Han Chinese to rise up in revolt, but the organized Han resistance was bloodily suppressed. By the time Shi Jian succeeded to the throne, it was speculated that there were only about 4 million Han people in the north, and the Han people were already facing the threat of extinction.

There is no shortage of experts in China, and neither is the forecasting community. For example, at present, the housing price problem is the most prominent domestic economic problem and the most concerned issue of the people, where will China's housing prices go? The prediction gods of various economic and political circles have thrown out the theory of prediction, the theory of total collapse, the theory of skyrocketing out of control, and the theory of smooth transition without collapse or rise. All of these predictive theologies are well-founded, and after reading the total collapse theory, you will generally believe it. Look at the theory of skyrocketing out of control, hey, it makes sense, whether others believe it or not, you believe it anyway. If you look at the theory of smooth transition without collapse or rise, your thinking will generally collapse.

Five chaotic China, the most tragic scene in Chinese history, no one could have predicted this disaster? In fact, as early as the reign of Jia Nanfeng, the ugly queen of the Western Jin Dynasty, some people expected it.

Jiang Tong, Chen Liuyu people, his hometown is now Tongxu County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, successively served as the Shanyin County Commander, Zhonglang, Prince Xima, Doctor, Shang Shulang, Sima of the Counselor, Ting Weizheng, Huangmen Shilang, and Sanqi Chang Shi.

Looking at his resume, most of them worked as followers by the side of the emperor or the crown prince. Zhonglang is the emperor's low-level life secretary. What kind of official is the prince washing horses? Don't really think that you are washing the prince's horse. The word "washing" should actually be "first", which means to be the leader in front of the prince's horse, the prince's secretary, and help the prince sort out some books or something. Huangmen Shilang, because the ancient palace gate is basically yellow, so it is called Huangmen, Huangmen Shilang is to take care of the emperor's diet and daily life, but also the emperor's low-level life secretary.

The Huangmen squire is generally served by eunuchs, but Jiang Tong is obviously not a eunuch, he has descendants, and one of his descendants is very famous.

Jiang Zhan, an important minister under Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong, was the great-grandson of Jiang Tong. Jiang Zhan is a person, which will also be mentioned later.

Jiang Tong was eventually promoted to the rank of Loose Cavalry Chang Attendant, the emperor's senior adviser and secretary. In addition to serving the leader, people in the role of secretary generally do not do specific things, so they like to think about things. Jiang Tong is no exception, and his pondering has produced a masterpiece that has come to an end.

"The Theory of Migration".

Migration, as the name suggests, is to move the Hu people away, where to move back to their hometown, and they are not allowed to immigrate casually.

Jiang Tong pondered that the cause of this incident was that the leaders of several ethnic minorities were restless at that time, especially after the rebellion of Qi Wannian, the leader of the Di nationality (Zhou who killed the tiger and beheaded Jiaojiao), rebelled, Jiang Tong realized that to solve the problem of Hu rebellion, we should not only rely on suppression, but also fundamentally solve the problem. How to fix it?

Move them away.

"On Migration", first of all, analyzed the nature of the Hu people, believing that the Hu people did not dare to compliment their quality because of their generally low level of education.

Then, the system summarized the history of the internal migration of the Hu people, where they came from, and what the eight generations of ancestors did. Finally, a migration scheme was proposed.

Although the "Treatise on Migration" was published in the uprising of Qi Wannian, the leader of the Di tribe, Jiang Tong keenly felt that the Xiongnu in Shanxi were the henchmen of the Western Jin Dynasty (the Hu of the state, and the evil of the Xiongnu in the real world), and they should "return their native territory" and move them back to the hometown of the Xiongnu in the desert outside the Saiwai to re-herd sheep and cattle.

It's a pity that Jia Nanfeng, the ugly queen in power, didn't have this insight, she was busy cleaning up the kings of Sima, the prince, and her mother-in-law, so this research report naturally failed to attract her attention. As a result, in less than ten years, the Xiongnu who lived in Shanxi rebelled, and finally caused the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua.

Of course, the controversy caused by "The Theory of Migration" is also very large. Bai Yang, a master of humanities in Taiwan, believes that "Jiang Tong blamed all the disasters on the barbarians, and did not touch the core of the problem at all; I only saw the madman killing people, but I didn't see who put the poison that caused madness into the other person's bowl; To force the barbarians to drink the poison that causes madness, to denounce them for madness, to denounce them for their greed, for their cruelty, and for putting the cart before the horse."

Coincidentally, Mr. Bai Yang's ancestral home is Hui County, Henan Province, born in Tongxu County, Kaifeng City, and is a native of Jiangtong.

Let's go back to Shi Min.

Shi Min, after learning that Shi Jian wanted to kill his plan, his hatred for the Shi family was self-evident. In the most difficult times, who is rallying around you? It was the Han Li Nong and other generals. Who is my identity? Han! I should be surnamed Ran and not Shi!

The young general Shi Min was already red-eyed, and issued five orders in a row, which is the famous "Killing Hu Order" that shocked the past and made the current historians secret. This decree detonated the national hatred and family hatred that had been accumulated by the Han people for nearly half a century, and ignited the anger of revenge and rebellion.

The first order: Whoever dares to call the staff of the six inner and outer Yi will be beheaded.

Let's look at the background of this order.

When Shi Min rushed to kill Shi Zun before he killed himself, he first launched a coup d'état to kill Shi Zun and established Shi Jian, Shi Jian named Shi Min as a general and king of Wude, and held the power of the court.

Shi Min immediately reorganized the Later Zhao court, purged a group of Hu officials, and instead installed a group of Han military and political officials in key positions, such as:

1. Li Nong is the Great Sima, and records the Shangshu affairs: Ma, Wu Ye, Da Sima, Minister of Defense or Chief of Staff; Lu Shang Shushi, Premier of the State Council.

2. Lang Min is the director: Minister of Discipline Inspection and Supervision;

3. Liu Qun shot for Shangshu's left servant: Vice Premier of the State Council;

4. Lu Chen is the secretary general of the Central Committee.

This is completely a Han Chinese cabinet. The emperor was a member of the Qian nationality, but the government was in the hands of the Han people, and this was the first time since the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty that the power in northern China was actually controlled by the Han people. How can Hu people's psychology be balanced?

Not only is it mentally unbalanced, but it is also very fearful in the heart. After all, it was too cruel to the Han people in the past, will the Han people take the opportunity to retaliate after they come to power? Therefore, after Shi Min seized power, he reorganized the Later Zhao court in such a sinicization way, which aroused strong opposition from Hu generals and chieftains everywhere.

The Hu people in various places have gathered heavy troops, stationed in important towns in all directions, coveted the Hebei and Henan areas centered on Yecheng, and formed a strategic encirclement of Yecheng, the base of Shi Min.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

The biggest anti-Shi Min force was Shi Hu's concubine Shi Yi, who was guarding Xiangguo, the old base of Later Zhao. This person united with the local Qi groups, and the forces of the Qiang Yao Yizhong, Di Fu Hong and other tribes, and raised the banner of anti-Shijian.

Anti-Shijian? As long as the IQ is not lower than 80, everyone knows that Shi You's real purpose is only one, the Qingjun side - to kill Shi Min and Li Nong.

Since it's against me, then I have to deal with it. Shi Jian appointed Shi Kun as the governor of the capital and led an army of 70,000 to defeat Shi Kun. It's an interesting appointment. Because, Shi Kun is Shi Kun's own brother. The younger brother who appointed the elder brother as the governor of the capital to lead the army to quell the rebellion?

Sure enough, as a result of this appointment, Shi Kun fled to Jizhou and turned his head to attack Yecheng. Shi Min did not raise any objection to Shi Jian's order.

Because, he is very confident.

Shi Kun's attack was easily routed by Shi Min. Later, Shi Yi was proclaimed emperor, and his brother Shi Kun was appointed as the prime minister, and the two brothers were defeated again in the confrontation with Shi Min, and Shi Yi was killed by Liu Xian, the general who surrendered to Shi Min. Shi Kun's family fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was beheaded in Jiankang (Nanjing) by the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Liu Xian proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangguo (Xingtai, Hebei) and rebelled against Shi Min. Shi Min easily quelled the rebellion, killed Liu Xian and more than 100 officials, burned down the Xiangguo Palace, and moved all the people to Yecheng.

Confidence comes from strength.

Within Yecheng, the anti-Han forces were also on the move, and the leader was naturally Shi Jian, the emperor of the Later Zhao Dynasty.

As mentioned above, in 350, Shi Jianmi ordered Shi Bao, Zhongshu ordered Li Song, and Zhang Cai, the general of the palace, to kill Shi Min. In the face of Shi Min's questioning, Shi Jian is worthy of being the son of the famous actor Zheng Cherry, and his genetics make him quite an "actor" temperament, he swore that he didn't know anything about this matter, and in order to show his sincerity, he also executed Shi Bao, Li Song, and Zhang Cai.

However, the anti-Shi Min forces in Yecheng are still emerging. Shi Cheng, the leader of the army, Shi Qi of the servant, Shi Hui of the former Hedong Taishou, etc., were ordered to kill Shi Min and Li Nong. As a result, Shi Min and Li Nong saw through it, and all three stones were cut off their heads.

Then there were Lao Qian people who jumped out, and then General Zhao Zhengxi, General Long Xiang, and the old ministers of the Three Dynasties, Sun Fudu and Liu Ba. The two secretly gathered 3,000 people of the Qiang tribe in Yecheng, formed a death squad, and ambushed in "Hu Tian", planning to pretend to kidnap Shi Jian, and then trap and kill Shi Min and Li Nong.

"Hu Tian", the main god of Zoroastrianism, "Ahura Mazda" (if you are interested in its specific architectural structure, you can go to Jiexiu, Shanxi Province to see the only remaining Zoroastrian god building in China), indicating that this was a racial conflict within the Later Zhao royal family.

3,000 Qian daredevils, led by Sun Fudu and Liu Ba, brandished steel knives and screamed at the Han army. Shi Min and Li Nong responded calmly to the battle, and defeated Sun and Liu in a battle. The people retreated to Fengyang Gate, Shi and Li were red-eyed, led the Han army to attack, from Fengyang Gate to Kunhua Palace, corpses were everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and Sun and Liu were also martyred for the Shi family.

Shi Jian really didn't know about this at first. At that time, he was in the middle of the stage, and when he saw Sun Fu destroying the pavilion, he asked the reason. Sun Fudu arched his hand: Li Nong and others rebelled and have gathered in Dongye Gate, I will lead the guards to quell the rebellion, I would like to inform you first.

Shi Jian instantly understood: you are a hero, serve the official well. I watched the battle from the stage, and the matter was decided by itself, so I didn't have to report to me.

When Shi Min and Li Nong, who were in blood-stained robes, entered the palace with thousands of red-eyed soldiers, Shi Jian opened the palace gate again, looking innocent: Sun Fu has rebelled, you should immediately crusade against him.

No matter how good Ren Shijian's acting skills are, with the emergence of these anti-Shi Min forces, a fool can also see that the mastermind is him as the emperor. Of course, Shi Min also knew that he put Shi Jian under house arrest in the Imperial Dragon Temple, eating? Baskets are hung in the air and raised like animals.

After killing Sun Fudu and others in a thrilling bloody battle, Shi Min angrily issued the first order, known as the first "killing order":

The six people inside and outside dare to call the staff of the scepter, and cut it off!

This made the villages broadcast with loudspeakers, and the Hu people in Yecheng blew up the pot. The Hu people, who were afraid of being liquidated, ran out of Yecheng for a while. The gates are closed? Then use a rope to slip out of the city wall, and jump down from the city wall in a hurry, and after falling to death and injuring many people, the Hu people are red-eyed, and they attack the city gate from inside the city in a vain attempt to seize the gate......

One sentence scared the Hu people in the city into crazy people, which Shi Min didn't expect. After all, the Hu people in Yecheng are not all Qian, and if they run out at one time, what is the point of guarding an empty city? After all, some Hu people can still take advantage of it. The first order is a bit left, so let's fix it, Shi Min then gave the second order:

Those who are of the same mind as the government live, and those who are not of the same mind are left to their own devices.

It was a distinctly mild order, a bit of a united front flavor. Similar to the propaganda of the People's Liberation Army after the capture of the Kuomintang army: everyone is poor, and those who are willing to stay will stay and join the revolutionary ranks, and those who are unwilling to stay will be given travel expenses to go home.

The heart of the person who shouts is longing for the person who is being shouted to stay, and the person who is being shouted will have their own ghosts.

Most of the Hu people were overjoyed when they heard Shi Min's second order: they had to run along the rope, jump over the wall, and run from the door, but now they can run freely!

For a while, I ran more. Hu people who wanted to leave the city gate flocked to block the gate of Yecheng as if it were Beijing's East Second Ring Road at 8 o'clock in the morning.

This greatly surprised Shi Min. Then, something even more surprising happened to Shi Min.

The Han people around Yecheng knew Shi Min's order and clapped their hands one by one. After years of oppression, now that Shi Min is in power, Yecheng is Yan'an, the revolutionary holy land of the Han people! Rejoicing, they dragged their families to Yecheng one after another.

As a result, a strange scene appeared inside and outside Yecheng:

A large number of Hu people desperately ran outside Yecheng, and a large number of Han people rushed to and from hundreds of miles to and from Yecheng. The Hu people who rushed out of the city were panicked like lost dogs, and those who squeezed into the city were like wanderers who had been wandering outside for many years.

Shi Min stood at the head of the city, looking at these two flows of people with completely different moods, and his heart was full of mixed feelings and emotions. He Shi Min still retains the surname Shi, hoping to inherit the Later Zhao regime as a descendant of the Shi family. However, Shi Hu's descendants are all like snakes, scorpions, jackals, and the same father and mother are not the same, not to mention that he has an adoptive grandson and a Han Chinese.

As a result, Shi Min's state of mind was completely reversed: the throne was snatched, not waited. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and the Han people are my true colleagues and dependent! As a result, a further left order flew out from the Yecheng Palace:

He ordered the Zhao people inside and outside, cut off a Hu head and send it to Fengyang Gate, the civil official was promoted to the third rank, and the military position was worshiped by the Yamen.

This was Shi Min's third order.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no compilation is great. Hu killers can also be directly recruited as civil servants, fourth-level investigators are directly promoted to first-level researchers, and military attachés are directly promoted to deputy divisions. This order is not only attractive in ancient times, but also in the present. The Han people in Yecheng went crazy for a while, and on the first day of the decree, tens of thousands of Hu people were killed.

Within one day, tens of thousands of beards were beheaded, and the hearts of the Han people were available. Shi Min was deeply encouraged, and immediately opened the granary treasury, gave material rewards, and personally led the team to slaughter Hu. Within a few days, the Hu people shed countless blood, and all the corpses were thrown outside Yecheng, allowing wild dogs, jackals, tigers and leopards to eat, and the wild beasts were all bloody, and their eyes were red......

The bloodthirsty stimulation, the extreme release of emotions after depression, and the fanatical pursuit of supreme power made Shi Min's blood run wild, and he was no longer satisfied with killing people in Yecheng, and then issued the fourth order:

In the territory of the Chuan Dynasty, generals from all over the country killed and drove Hu.

At this point, Tuhu uncontrollably moved towards expansion.

When the Han people in the territory of Yuan Hou Zhao, that is, in the Central Plains, received this order, the entire ethnic group went crazy and launched a bloody national revenge against the Hu people. High-nosed and blue-eyed, kill! Chest and beard, kill! Tuhu's scope rapidly expanded from Yecheng to the entire north.

Under the bloodshed, some of the Hu people ran in the direction of the Western Regions, some ran to the north, and the Han people who were captured by the Hu also returned to their hometowns. For a time, there were millions of people running in different directions with different purposes on the roads of the Central Plains, and the Han and Hu people also attacked each other on the road, the roads were full of corpses, the plague was epidemic, most of the land was barren, people were cannibalistic, and the Central Plains was in chaos.

There is a historical unsolved case here, that is, the issue of "Hu Ren obeying Shi Min to kill Hu Ling and slaughter Hu".

As mentioned above, there is a general named Ma Qiu in Later Zhao, which is the general of Later Zhao's Zhengdong who was beaten away by Murong Ke when Duan Liao, who was surrendered and surrendered before.

Volume 17 of the Book of Jin "Shi Jilong Records" records, "Those who are based in the Quartet are punished by the Chengmin Shu...... Liu Guo is based on Yangcheng, Duan Gong is based on Chen Liu, Yao Yizhong is based on Mingqiao, and Fu Hong is based on Fangtou, and the crowd is tens of thousands. Wang Lang and Ma Qiu ran from Chang'an to Luoyang. Qiu Cheng Min book, Zhu Lang Department Hu more than 1,000. Lang ran to Xiangguo. Ma Qiu led the crowd to Fu Hong. ”

It means that as soon as Shi Min's order to kill Hu came out, the military leaders from all over the country began to kill Hu, and Ma Qiu and Wang Lang were on the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, Ma Qiu killed more than 1,000 Hu people under Wang Lang in accordance with Shi Min's will and defected to Fu Hong.

There are a few doubts here: 1. Ma Qiu himself is a Hu person, why did he kill a Hu person? 2. If he killed Wang Lang's subordinates according to the order to kill Hu, why did he surrender to another Hu man, Fu Hong (Di nationality)?

On this issue, there is an opinion that Ma Qiu is not a Hu person, but a Han person. However, volume 267 of "Taiping Guangji" quotes Tang Zhangling's "Chao Ye Zai": Later Zhao Shile will be Ma Qiu, Taiyuan Hu people are also planted, dangerous and poisonous. There is a child's cry, and the mother is afraid of the hemp and the hu, and the cry is endless.

Later generations also referred to Maqiu with Mahu, and today, in the Han, Mongolian, Miao, Hui, Zhuang, Tu, Tujia, Lisu, and Xibe peoples, there are all surnames Ma, which is not unique to the Han people, so the possibility that Maqiu is a Han person is basically ruled out.

What's the problem?

Let's look at the "Book of Jin" volume 12 "Fu Hong Records" records: "At the beginning, Ji Long took Maqiu Town to Caohan, Shi Min Rebellion, Autumn Returned to Ye, Hong made Zixiong attack and won it, and took Qiu as the general of the army."

This record says that Ma Qiu was on the way to Yecheng occupied by Shi Min, and was defeated and captured by Fu Hong's son and returned to Fu Hong, which contradicts the record of "Ma Qiu led the crowd to Fu Hong" in the 17th volume of the Book of Jin.

Based on the analysis of historical data, the case is solved as follows:

Shi Min's slaughter of Hu was not out of national righteousness, but from the Hu people's obstruction in the process of seizing power, and the Hu people could not use it to slaughter Hu in anger. The Hu people who can be used by Shi Min can still guarantee their lives and interests. In this way, after Shi Min issued the order to kill Hu, there was really Ma Qiu, who knew Shi Min's true intentions and responded to Shi Min's "traitor".

Evidence? Facts are evidence.

1. From the starting point of Maqiu. Maqiu guards the northwest Guanzhong and Longxi generations, and since ancient times, there is a saying that "those who get the pass get the world". After Ma Qiu was used by Fu Hong, he also persuaded Fu Hong to collect Guanzhong first, and then fight for the world in the east, which shows that Ma Qiu also knows the importance of Guanzhong. And he rushed to Yecheng in the troubled times, obviously without personal ambition, but wanted to take Shi Min as his main master.

2. Judging from the fate of Maqiu. After Ma Qiu was used by Fu Hong, Fu Hong regarded Ma Qiu as a confidant and entrusted him as a military general, but Ma Qiu wanted to kill Fu Hong with poisoned wine and fled, but was killed by Fu Hong's son Fu Jian. This is obviously in the camp and the heart is in Han.

3. From the point of view of motivation. Is it possible for the Hu people to betray the Hu people? Not only possible, but also motivating. Why? Stemming from the strong assimilation ability of Han culture. As we will talk about later, some nobles in the central part of the Xianbei regime regarded the soldiers of their own border towns as vulgar people because they were baptized by Han culture, and they were ashamed of their fellow people, and even caused a mutiny, which shows the depth of the Hu people's worship of Han culture.

People born in the sixties and seventies, when they were young, most of the New Year's pictures were posted at home, and they must have an impression of a New Year's painting of "Magu Offering Birthday", and this Magu is related to Maqiu.

In that year, Ma Qiu built a city in the northeast of Hubei Province, this city is called Macheng, so the site is in today's Macheng City, Hubei, the founding general Wang Shusheng, and the general Xu Shiyou Comrade were born here.

It is said that when Maqiu built the city, the forced migrant workers worked day and night, and the rooster crowed and the work started at dawn. Ma Qiu has a daughter named Magu, although she is young, she is very kind, sympathizes with the suffering of migrant workers, and learns to crow in the middle of the night, so that migrant workers can rest in advance. After this secret was discovered by Ma Qiu, the brutal Ma Qiu whipped her daughter, and Ma Gu was forced to flee to Magu Immortal Cave to practice, and later became an immortal. In later generations, there was a New Year's painting of "Magu Offering Birthday".

This legend not only reveals the kindness of human nature, but also reflects the shadow of the integration of Hu and Han cultures, which is touching and gratifying. Culture takes a certain amount of time to accumulate, three generations can produce a nouveau riche, but it is difficult to produce a nobleman, this is the role of time accumulation. The Han nationality has a long history and a clear heritage, so it has a profound cultural tradition, and this kind of time has accumulated a deep profound, siphon and assimilation force is extremely powerful. In the history of China, there have been many experiences of being invaded by foreign peoples, but in the end, without exception, the invaders were all reversely integrated with Chinese culture and became a part of the Chinese nation.

I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I have finally realized my dream after dreaming for a long time. Shi Min was called the emperor and queen (Ran Wei regime), and the titles of crown, throne, and supreme made his soul temporarily empty and satisfied. However, he soon realized that although he had set off a frenzy of national revenge in the north, he was fighting alone and was surrounded by Zhonghu. He, in need of allies. Look around, where are the most suitable allies?

Eastern Jin Dynasty in the South. After all, they are Han people with the same roots, and if the two work hand in hand, Shi Min will blossom in the center of the north, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty will attack on the periphery, and the Han people will recover the whole country, and there is great hope. As a result, Shi Min restored the Han surname "Ran" and issued the fifth order.

The fifth order is actually an alliance notice issued to the Eastern Jin Dynasty: Qianhu rebelled against the Central Plains, and now it has been punished. If you can discuss it together, you can send troops to come!

Not only did he issue a notice, but Ran Min also sent an envoy to directly convey this meaning to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. To his great disappointment, Dongjin Li ignored him for only one reason.

You have become emperor. There is only one supreme, and the non-bloodline inheritance style of the emperor is unforgivable in the ethical world of the Han people.

From Shi Min to Ran Min, even if the Han surname is restored, he can only fight alone from then on. In fact, he has always been alone.

Alone, the more lonely, the more iron-blooded!

Ran Min's headquarters comes from the special forces "Begging Army" back then, and now let's take a look at the fierce style and amazing combat effectiveness of this unit.

Ran Min, "good at strategizing, brave and invincible" ("Book of Jin"). Every time Ran Min fought, he personally charged ahead, riding a dragon horse, using a double-edged spear in his left hand and a hooked halberd in his right hand, killing countless enemies in each battle.

Let's take a look back at the achievements of this lone team:

In January 350, Shi Kun, the king of Ruyin of Later Zhao, led an army of 70,000 and fought with more than 1,000 cavalry led by Ran Min in the north of the city. Ran Min rose up to his might, won more with less, broke Shi Kun, and beheaded more than 10,000 levels.

In June 350, Shi Kun led an army of 100,000 troops into Handan, and later Zhao Zhennan's general Liu Guo led an army from Fanyang to join Shi Kun. Ran Min took the initiative to attack, broke Shi Kun twice, and beheaded more than 10,000 levels.

In August 350, Later Zhao Zhang Hedu, Duan Qin, Liu Guo, and Jin Dolphin led about 300,000 troops to form a crusade army and assembled in Changcheng. Ran Min led the army to counterattack and fought in Cangting, this time it was more complete - this Zhao crusade army was completely annihilated.

In 350, Ran Min led the army and Murong Xianbei's 200,000 army to fight on the bank of the Lingshui River, broke it, captured more than 70,000 Yan troops, captured 28 cities in Xianbei Beiyan County, and shocked the Central Plains.

Alone, after all, alone.

In February 351, the Hu people formed an anti-Ran alliance. Shi Hu's concubine Shi Yi united with Xianbei and Qiang people to attack Ran Min. This time, Ran Min underestimated the enemy due to repeated victories, coupled with the lack of troops, which led to a major defeat, and the casualties of the Han army were not counted. After this battle, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Luoyang, where Ran Min had been based, surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty began to return to northern China.

The defeat in the battle also caused contradictions within the Han army. As the Hu people increasingly united against Ran, Ran Min was hot-headed and killed his closest comrades-in-arms.

Li Nong, there have been many pen and ink involved in the previous article, and after Zhao Chongchen, Shihu era has been ranked as one of the three princes. After the abolition of the Shijian throne, Ran Min tried to cede the throne to Li Nong, which shows Li Nong's status. After Ran Min succeeded to the throne, Li Nong was named King of Qi, Dazai, and Lu Shangshushi, and the well-deserved number two person in the Ran Wei regime.

In the past, they were on an equal footing, but once they were divided into monarchs and ministers, people's hearts always competed for the short and long, and Ran and Li gradually became suspicious of each other. In 350, Ran Min killed Li Nong and his three sons.

The second-in-command has always been the most dangerous position. Not only in ancient China, but also in any authoritarian regime. For example, Song Cheng of the Khmer Rouge, Che Guevara of Cuba, the uncle of the little fat man, and so on.

In 351, Shi Yi's subordinate Liu Xian was defeated by Ran Min in the Battle of Yangping, and more than 30,000 people were annihilated, and Liu Xian was forced to surrender to Ran Min. Ran Min gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that he returned to the army and killed Shi Yu, and from then on, Shi Zhao perished.

Surrender without centripetal force, surrender and rebellion are commonplace. In July 351, Liu Xian rebelled against Ran Min and became emperor. In the first month of the following year, Ran Min led 8,000 cavalry to conquer Xiangguo (Xingtai, Hebei, the deputy capital of Zhao) and cut off Liu Xian's head. At this point, Ran Min swept away all the remnants of Zhao Zhao.

Counting Shi Hu's fourteen sons, two were executed by himself, six died by cannibalism, five were exterminated by Ran Min, and one defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was beheaded, all of whom died unexpectedly. Shi Hu, the evil beast of the Qiang tribe, has caused countless evils in his life, and finally received retribution in the future generations.

In several major battles in the Central Plains, Ran Min's Han iron cavalry played a majestic role, and the Han people in various places revolted and responded (no moon and no war, attacking each other), Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places were all controlled by the Han army. The culprits of the massacre of the Han people, the Qian, were basically wiped out in the national vendetta, but there were still remnants that finally went into chaos in southern China, bringing an unprecedented catastrophe to the people of Jiangnan, which will be described later.

The Hu slaughter policy advocated by Ran Min caused millions of people, including the Di, Qiang, Xiongnu, and Xianbei, to withdraw from the Central Plains and return to their homeland in Longxi or the Hetao grassland.
