Ran Min
Han nationality, national hero. With the courtesy name Yongzeng and the diminutive Jinu, he was a native of Neihuang in Wei County (now northwest of Neihuang, Henan Province). He was the founding monarch of Ran Wei during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period in China.
Ran Min (ran min) is widely known today as the order to massacre the Hu people, that is, to kill the Hu Ling. He is a national hero who saved the Han people. He is also famous for his bravery and is listed as one of the top ten brave generals in ancient China.
In 338 AD, the young Ran Min participated in the war for the first time in the battle of Changli. According to historical records, all the Zhao armies were defeated except for the guerrilla general Ran Min who defeated the three thousand Han troops. After this battle, Ran Min became famous and was promoted to Beizhonglang General by Shi Hu. He participated in the battle to defend the northern border of Later Zhao (at that time, in the land of the Yan Dynasty in the north, there were Ding Ling, Wu Heng, and Fu Yu who had moved in in the Later Zhao mirror). Various ethnic groups and tribes often rebelled, and Murong Xianbei often sent troops to invade the border areas.) Ran Min repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the battle to defend the northern border of Hou Zhao (during which he was also transferred to other places to fight twice).
In 350 AD, Ran Min led his army to defeat 200,000 Xianbei Yan troops on the banks of the Lingshui River. He captured and beheaded more than 70,000 Yan soldiers, beheaded more than 30 generals and above, burned 200,000 dendrobium in grain stands, and captured 28 large and small cities in the northern Yan counties of Xianbei. Ran Min's power shook the Central Plains. Later Ran Min overthrew Jie Zhao and proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country. The reign was named Yongxing, the country was named Da Wei, and the history was called Ran Wei. Taking advantage of the momentum of victory, they raided various Hu armies. He went through six fierce battles.
(1) In the first battle, 3,000 Han cavalry broke through the Xiongnu camp, killed several enemy generals, and drove for hundreds of miles, beheading 30,000 Xiongnu heads;
(2) In the second battle, the Xiongnu camp was Five thousand Han cavalry defeated 70,000 Hu cavalry;
(3) In the third battle, 70,000 Han troops plus 40,000 begging rebels defeated more than 300,000 Hu coalition troops;
( 4) In the fourth battle, he was first defeated and then won, with ten thousand people beheading 40,000 Hu; (5) In the fifth battle, the Han army of 60,000 almost wiped out more than 100,000 Qiang and Di coalition forces;
(6) In the sixth battle, Murong Xianbei, with less than 10,000 infantrymen, was defeated by Murong Xianbei’s 140,000 cavalry. Instead of retreating, they advanced and achieved ten victories in ten battles! !
Forced by the threat of force from Ran Min and the Han armies in the Central Plains, millions of Di, Qiang, Xiongnu, and Xianbei people withdrew from the Central Plains and returned to their original living places in Longxi or the Hetao grassland. Some The Hu people even moved back to their hometown in Central Asia thousands of miles away. On the way back, the Hu people of different ethnic groups attacked each other, looted and killed each other, robbed each other of food, and even cannibalized each other. Only two or three out of ten people could successfully return. During the chaos in China, only four to five million Han people in the north were massacred. The main murderers were the Xiongnu and the white Jie tribe originating from the Caucasus Mountains to the Black Sea grasslands in Eastern Europe. (This nation has the habit of offering human heads as sacrifices) Ran Min destroyed Jie Zhao and annihilated more than 300,000 Hu soldiers, mainly Jie tribe and fierce slaves. Ran Min later massacred more than 200,000 Jie people in Yecheng, plus revenge massacres in various provinces across the country. The Jie tribe and the Xiongnu were basically wiped out in bloody national revenge.
352 AD. Ran Min distributed the military rations in the city to the people. He alone led 10,000 troops (mainly infantry) to fight for food. As a result, they were surrounded by Xianbei's 140,000 troops (cavalry. There were also tens of thousands of follow-up troops). Under the cover of Ran Wei soldiers who fought desperately to break out of the encirclement, Ran Min killed more than 300 people in a row and finally broke out of the encirclement. However, the Zhulong war horse, which was as brave as Ran Min, collapsed due to excessive fatigue. Ran Min was captured. His men were still fighting against the enemy mechanically, covering other important officials who accompanied the army to evacuate the battlefield, killing until the last person... After Murong Ke captured Ran Min, he presented it to the leader of the country, Murong Jun. Murong Jun laughed at Ran Min: "You only have Why do you dare to claim to be the emperor with the talent of a servant? "Ran Min said angrily: "The world is in chaos, and you, Cao, Yi, Di, beasts, and the like are the emperor, how can I, the hero of the Middle Kingdom!" Murong Jun was furious and ordered him to be whipped! Three hundred, and then sent to Longcheng and beheaded at Nixing Mountain.
Because Ran Min’s dynasty was short. Many ministers committed suicide and martyred their country. No one wrote a biography of Ran Min. Historians from the Northern Wei Dynasty (Xianbei Dynasty) who later ruled the north scolded Ran Min. No one in the history books speaks out for Ran Min's justice. Later generations lack information and can only organize it based on the information left over from the past. Some eunuch historians one-sidedly emphasize Ran Min's killing of Hu. It does not explain the reason why Ran Min killed Hu. Think about it, Ran Min gave an order, and the people of the Central Plains and the Hu invaders who entered the fortress fought every month and attacked each other day and night. It can be seen that Ran Min's policies at that time were in compliance with public opinion and represented the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the people. It wasn't that Ran Min meant to provoke. But the ethnic conflicts at that time were irreconcilable. Those wearing animal skins. A barbarian tribe eating raw meat. How do you understand etiquette, integrity, and the value of life? The barbarian tribes that invaded India tended to treat the locals who created the ancient Indian civilization as slaves. Everyone knows about the caste system in India. Today in the 21st century, untouchables still live in the lower strata of Indian society. These are the native Indians who were conquered thousands of years ago. King Ran Min appealed to the world and invited heroes from all over the world to rise up and kill Hu. The place where the Hu Order was slaughtered. The Chinese people responded one after another. The Han army is mighty! ! The Han army is mighty! ! The big and small bandits were scattered and defeated! The land of Kyushu finally regains its true colors of Yan and Huang. Our people have just been saved from repeating the tragedy of the ancient Indians.
In the Flame Tower and official histories and novels written by the Manchus. There are many slanders against Ran Min. For example, Ran Min was adopted as an adopted son by a barbarian. But there is no record in the history books of the Southern Dynasties. We can only get a glimpse of the great achievements of this national hero 1,700 years ago through historical data that have been tampered with. Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang are both very familiar figures to us. But Ran Min was buried in the vast history books. Ran Min used what he did. Saved the endangered Chinese civilization.
He did not hesitate to bear the infamy of 2000 on his own reputation. Taking back the living space for us future generations. Ran Min's martial arts skills are no less than Yue Fei's! Yue Fei actually wanted to become the second Ran Min. Ran Min's achievements shine with the sun and the moon! ! Ran Min was an East Asian star in the fourth century AD. It is the only hope in the hearts of the people. People say that Ran Min is the hero who reincarnated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, to save the Han people. Come and save the people who are in dire straits. The 800,000 Han people in Guanzhong risked their lives and traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge with Ran Min.
