New book background

  Next week's new book background information is similar to Da Qin, it's also a story about Chinese people fighting against the invasion of Zhou from outside, hope you all like it.

  The Eastern Jin and the Sixteen Kingdoms, this is a tragic history that has been intentionally forgotten by Chinese historians; Ran Min, this is a tragic hero who cannot be correctly evaluated by later generations!

  After the Three Kingdoms, there was the Western Jin. After the fall of the Western Jin, the Eastern Jin was established in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Five Barbarians began to wreak havoc on China, known as the Sixteen Kingdoms or the Northern and Southern Dynasties. At that time, the various barbarian tribes not only forced the Han people to build palaces, pavilions, armor, and weapons for them, but also used the Han people as food and drink, wantonly humiliating and insulting them. The number of Han people in the Central Plains was drastically reduced from 15 million to 6 million, while the number of barbarians who invaded the Central Plains rose rapidly to 5 million.

  When the fire of the descendants of Huang was about to be extinguished, a great hero emerged in the Central Plains - Ran Min. He issued a kill order for the Hu people, killing hundreds of millions of them, and for a time the Central Plains were purged, allowing the Han people to survive.

  Although it is said that Ran Min exterminated the Jie tribe and drove out the Hu people, causing a tragic situation with corpses scattered all over the fields and rivers of blood, it was indeed somewhat cruel. However, if there had not been Ran Min's desperate counterattack, the various Hu tribes in the north would have probably completely eliminated the northern Han people (with a small portion remaining as slaves), and the Central Plains region would have bred a new blond-haired and blue-eyed race. As the population grew, they would inevitably seek living space to the south. Once the various Hu tribes had killed off the three million Eastern Jin Han people in the south, the Han ethnicity would have disappeared from the earth like the ancient civilizations of Babylon and Egypt, rather than being almost completely exterminated by the other Hu tribes.

  Although the Later Yan was unfortunately destroyed by the Xianbei Murong clan, the various Hu who had experienced the bloody revenge of the Han people no longer dared to treat the Han people brutally, but instead adopted more gentle means of winning over the Han people and actively integrating into the Han people. A hundred years later, the Hu people, mainly composed of Xianbei, who accounted for less than 10% of the Han population in the north, were thoroughly assimilated into the northern Han people. Thus, the descendants of the Han people relied on their strong cultural power and survival power to assimilate the invading Five Hu, laying the foundation for Emperor Yang Jian of Sui to restore China later.

  It can be said that when the Han Chinese were in the most dangerous situation in history, the heroic Ran Min stood up and turned the tide. For this, he was saddled with the infamous reputation of a murderous tyrant who killed many foreigners, and was cursed for centuries! Koreans can tolerate Zhang Baozhen's many shortcomings and still revere him as a national hero, but why are we Chinese so indifferent to Ran Min, a hero who made great contributions to our nation? The author hopes that through this article, everyone will come to know the tragic figure of Ran Min, a man of great passion and filled with the blood of the Han people, and give the hero his due.
