Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 436 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])
A few months later
Shi Hu died in a mental breakdown. Because Shi Hu followed Sima Yan's enfeoffment system during his lifetime, he enfeoffed a large number of his sons and became princes and kings of the separatist side.

Therefore, when he died, a succession war similar to the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out in Jiezhao.

The Shi family combined with the Shi family killed the Shi family, and the Shi family combined with the Shi family killed the Shi family.

After the Yitong massacre ended, Shihu's grandson Ran Min (Ran Min) became the final victor and took control of Jie Zhao's regime.

Originally, Ran Min thought that he could safely sit on the position of the Lord of Jiezhao and become the ruler of one side.

However, the tragedy is that the Han people in the Central Plains treat Ran Min as a barbarian, and the barbarians treat Ran Min as a Han man, making both sides of Ran Min not human.

Even though Ran Min has helped Jie Hu conquer the city for so many years, Jie Hu has never regarded Ran Min as his own, so when Ran Min came to power, the nobles and soldiers of Jie Hu continued to launch rebellions.

In order to test Jiehu's loyalty, Ran Min ordered that people in Yecheng who were unwilling to accept his rule could leave on their own, and he would never stop him.

Afterwards, Jiehu people left Yecheng one after another. Among the Han people, some left Yecheng, but most of them stayed in Yecheng.

Under such a stark contrast, Ran Min finally understood that from the beginning to the end, it was just his own sentimentality.

He thought he was a member of the Jiehu nobles, and he thought that he and Jiehu should be in the same family, but the Jiehu nobles did not regard him as their own.

Seeing that the Jiehu people refused to support his imperial hegemony, Ran Min finally became completely angry, and ordered: "All the people of my great Zhao, as long as they kill Jiehu and bring the head of Jiehu to Yecheng, they can be promoted to nobles. , the more Jiehu you kill, the richer the reward will be!"

At the same time, after Ran Min decided to completely break with Jiehu, he changed his country name to "Wei" and his surname to Li.

All of a sudden, people in Yecheng and its surrounding areas organized groups to hunt and kill Jiehu people, and some Han people who looked like Jiehu were also arrested and killed.

This kind of custom was actually staged very early in the Sanhan area hundreds of years ago, and it was more institutionalized, normalized, regularized, and efficient.

That is the countless "hunting squads" hundreds of years ago when the Wang family conquered Sanhan. In terms of bounty hunters, the Yan Wang family is undoubtedly more experienced than Li Min (Ran Min).

However, Ran Min’s policy of killing Jiehu was canceled after only three months, because he found that more and more Hu people began to rebel, and the Han people fled south to Jin to avoid the war. Not many Han people were willing to follow. he.

The embarrassing thing is coming, the Hu people are not willing to follow him, and the Han people are not willing to follow him.

Therefore, after finding that the Han people were unwilling to follow him, Li Min simply changed back to his surname "Ran" and became Ran Min, and changed the name of the country to "Wei" again, and at the same time canceled the decree that killing Hu people can get rewards , began to take in a large number of Hu people into the army, and canonized his son as the Great Chanyu.

A few months later, when Ran Min was exterminating the remnants of the Shi Clan, Murong Xianbei, who had recuperated for several years, took advantage of this opportunity and went south with all his family's strength, intending to seize the Central Plains.

At the beginning, Ran Min wanted to form an alliance with Murong Xianbei. The north of the Yellow River belonged to Murong Xianbei, and the south of the Yellow River belonged to Ran Wei.

However, what Murong Xianbei wanted was the entire Central Plains, so he rejected Ran Min's invitation to form an alliance, and instead formed an alliance with the Jiehu Shi family who was being hunted down to attack Ran Min together.

Seeing that Murong Xianbei is aggressive, Murong Ke must destroy him, Ran Min, so Ran Min sent an alliance request to the Jin court on the south bank of the Yangtze River: "The barbarians have plagued the Central Plains for decades. I raised troops to fight against the Hu people, but I was outnumbered. Send troops to aid me, after expelling the barbarians, the land of the Central Plains will return to the Jin family, I, Ran Min, am willing to be a vassal king, just like Yan Guo in Liaodong."

Naturally, it is impossible for Ran Min to really give away the Central Plains. It is true to use the troops of the Jin State to expel the barbarians, but it is impossible to return the land of the Central Plains to the Jin family.

After repelling the barbarians with the Jin army, Ran Min will naturally drive the Jin army out of the Central Plains, and he will be the emperor of the Central Plains.

However, the state of Jin did not believe Ran Min's nonsense. Instead, under Xie An's suggestion, they sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.

So, Ran Min asked Yan State for help, as long as Yan State sent troops to help him defeat Murong Xianbei, he was willing to cede the entire Qingzhou and Youzhou, but Yan Houxue had no chance for Ran Min.

Yan Guo has never done business that loses money or is too risky, so it is normal to ignore Ran Min. After all, everyone in the world knows that Ran Min is capricious, comparable to Lu Bu at the end of the Han Dynasty. Get cheated out of your fortune.

Yan Houxue is now 110 years old, and her standby time is astonishing. When she was born, Zhen Mi, the number one beauty in the Central Plains, was still alive. When she celebrated her birthday, Ran Min, the hero of the Central Plains, was at the end of her rope.

A monarch with an astonishing standby time like her naturally has super high political wisdom, and it is impossible to be deceived by Ran Min's nonsense.

"The Jin family sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, and the Jiehu and Xianbei allies attack me, what can I do?" Looking at the map in front of him, Ran Zhi, the prince of the Great Wei Emperor Ran Min, was very desperate: "My father led [-] troops out of the city to fight against the enemy. Murong Xianbei will fight decisively, but Murong Xianbei has an army of [-], and most of them are cavalry, in this battle, our great Wei is in danger!"

Wei Jian, the doctor of Guanglu, suggested: "If the king of heaven is defeated unfortunately, the crown prince can take refuge in the country of Yan."

It turned out that Wei Jian bought a mansion in Yandu long after Shihu's death, and only waited until he couldn't get along in the Central Plains, so he went to Yanguo to be a rich man and enjoy his old age.

"Yan State?" Ran Zhi is not very familiar with Yan State. He only knows that although this country is a Han country, it has no sense of belonging to the Central Plains and rarely interferes with the affairs of the Central Plains. Moreover, many customs of Yan State are very different. Not like the Han people, and even less like the Hu people, as if they came from another time and space.

"Will Yan Congress accept me?" Ran Zhi worried.

"As long as we give enough money to the country of Yan, the country of Yan will definitely accept us." Wei Jian replied confidently, and added: "It's really not possible, we can hunt down a large number of craftsmen, doctors, and scholars in the Central Plains, and take these talents Pack it up and send it to the country of Yan."

Another month later, Ran Min was outnumbered and finally defeated, and was captured by Murong Ke. Murong Xianbei first established his capital in Jicheng, founded the country "Yan", and called himself the King of Yan.

"You are just a servant, yet you dare to call yourself emperor?" Murong Jun, King of Yan, Murong Yan, taunted Ran Min, who was tied up at his feet, with disdain.

In his opinion, a person like Ran Min who jumps left and right, acts like a dog to Jie Hu, and then betrays Jie Hu, is nothing but a capricious clown.

"Haha! You barbarians can still be called emperors, but I, Ran Min, am a hero of the Central Plains, why can't I be called emperors?!" Ran Min laughed loudly, his mouth full of blood.

"Your Majesty, it's useless to talk to a dead man, just kill him." Murong Ke on the side is not interested in chatting with a dead man, so let Yan Wang Murong Jun just behead Ran Min.

Two months later, Murong Ke captured Yecheng, Murong Jun moved his capital to Yecheng, and changed his name to Yuan as emperor.

Ran Zhi, the son of Ran Min, hunted down a large number of talents in Yanzhou, escorted them to the Donglai area of ​​Yan State, and finally entered Yandu on a ship of Yan State.

At this time, Ran Min had been beheaded for more than two months, and a plague of locusts suddenly broke out in the Central Plains. There was a prophecy among the people: When Ran Min died, locusts fell from the sky!

It means that Ran Min is the son of luck and the patron of the heavens. When Murong Xianbei killed Ran Min, he offended God, so God sent a plague of locusts to punish Murong Yanguo.

Yan Wang Murong Jun then buried Ran Min Haosheng, and posthumously named Ran Min the Heavenly King of Wu Mourning, begging for forgiveness from the heavens, and bless the next year with good weather.
