The period of Wuhu chaos in China that began at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eight Kings Rebellion broke out in the country, which greatly shook the foundation of the Central Plains. The nomadic peoples in the north took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains dynasty and sent their troops south to invade the Central Plains. This marked the darkest era of the Five Husbands in Chinese history.
In the Five Hus era, the status of the Han people was extremely low. The lives of the Han people were like ants. The barbarians in the north could massacre the Han people at will. It can be said that the Han people had reached a critical moment of life and death.
After the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, they established dozens of countries with varying strengths and weaknesses. The Han people's space was severely compressed. According to historical records, the total population of Han people in the Central Plains was 2,495,804 households during the Taikang period of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. However, when Zhao was destroyed in 351 AD, there were only more than 2 million Han people left in the country. In just one hundred years, the number of Han people dropped sharply by nearly 100,000. 70%! This shows how brutally the Hu people massacred the Han people.
Speaking of the miserable situation of the Han people, we must mention one person, that is Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao. Ran Min made great contributions to protecting the Han people during the Five Husties. Ran Min was originally a general under Shi Le, a Jie man. But Shi Le went crazy about the massacre of Han people. As a Han, Ran Min couldn't stand it anymore. He rebelled against Hou Zhao and killed all the royal family of Hou Zhao. Then he issued the "Killing Hu Order", which saw the Hu people killing the Hu people. . According to incomplete statistics, Ran Min killed nearly a million aliens in just over ten years.
In addition to the crazy massacre of foreign races, Ran Min also ordered all foreign races to "return to their homeland". This move greatly alleviated the survival pressure of the Han people in the Central Plains.
To sum up, Ran Min made a great contribution to the survival of the Han people in the Central Plains. After him, the ethnic minority regimes no longer dared to kill and torture Han people at will, and they began to slowly accept Han culture. , many ethnic groups have also been completely assimilated by the Han people.
Although Ran Min ultimately failed to completely save the Han people from danger, it was not until nearly two hundred years later that China finally ended nearly 300 years of chaos at the hands of Yang Jian, a mixed-race Hu-Han man.
