Life of the characters

Family background

Ran min was the foster grandson of Shi Hu, Emperor Wu of later Zhao Dynasty. Ran min's father, ran Liang, was born in Neihuang County, Wei prefecture (now Neihuang County, Henan Province). His ancestors once served as the commander of Liyang cavalry in Han Dynasty, and his family served as the general of Yamen from generation to generation. Later, shile defeated Chen Wu and captured ran Liang. At that time, ran Liang was 12 years old. Shi Le ordered Shi Hu to take him as his adopted son and changed his name to Shi Zhan. Ran Liang was brave and powerful. He was invincible in attack and war. He served successively as a general of Zuoji shooting and was appointed as Marquis of Xihua.

The whole army returned

Ran min was decisive and sharp when he was young. Shi Hu doted on him and raised him like his grandchildren. As an adult, ran min was eight feet tall, brave and resourceful. He was appointed general Jianjie and was renamed Marquis Xiucheng. He served successively as general beizhonglang and guerrilla general. In the fourth year of Xiankang (338, the fourth year of Jianwu of later Zhao Dynasty), Shihu was defeated in the battle of Changli. All the armies of later Zhao Dynasty abandoned their armour and fled. Only one of the troops led by ran min was not injured. Therefore, ran min's reputation was very prominent.

After returning to Yecheng, Shi Hu appointed Liu Qun as Zhongshu Ling and Lu Chen as Zhongshu Shilang. Fu Hong was appointed envoy Chijie, governor of Liuyi military and champion general for his meritorious service, and was granted the title of Duke of Xiping County. They all had the intelligence to fight against the five tigers in the capital Shi Hu said, "I'm relying on their father and son to capture Dongwu and Bashu. Why should I kill them?" Instead of getting rid of Fu Hong, Fu Hong was treated more favorably.

Repeatedly making war contributions

In August of the fifth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (339, the fifth year of Jianwu in the later Zhao Dynasty), Yu Liang, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, defended Wuchang, and sent Mao Bao, the governor of Yuzhou, and Fan Jun, the governor of Xiyang, to guard Yingcheng. Shi Hu hated it and appointed kui'an as the governor of Dadu. He led five generals Shi Jian, ran min, Li Nong, Zhang racoon dog, and Li Tu, with a total of 50000 soldiers invading the northern border of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and sent another 20000 cavalry to attack Yingcheng (now Xinzhou District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province). Mao Bao asked Yu Liang for help. Yu Liang thought that Ying City was solid and did not send troops in time. In September, ran min defeated the Jin army in Mianyang and killed Cai Huai, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Kui'an and Li Nong captured miannan. Zhu Bao defeated Jin army in Baishi and killed five generals including Zheng Bao in Eastern Jin Dynasty. Zhang racoon dog captured Yingcheng, and 6000 people died in the battle. Mao Bao and Fan Jun escaped from the encirclement and drowned when crossing the river.

Ran min later defeated Liang Du, and his prestige was even higher.

Stand up to the stone

In the fifth year of Yonghe (the first year of later Zhao Taining, 349), Shi Hu died and the crown prince Shi ascended the throne. At that time, Empress Dowager Liu and Prime Minister Zhang Zhang had exclusive power and appointed Wang Shizun of Pengcheng as Prime Minister of Zuo to appease him.

Shi Zun was stationed in Hanoi at that time. He met ran min, Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong who came back from pacifying Liang Du's rebellion in Licheng. Ran min and others persuaded Shi Zun to attack Yecheng, attack Zhang Zhang Zhang and inherit the throne. Shi Zun agreed, and ran min and others killed Ben Ye City.

Shi Zun's troops were stationed in dangyin, with 90000 soldiers and ran min as the vanguard. Zhang jackal plans to go out to intercept, but when the soldiers and civilians in Ye City hear that Shi Zun and others are coming, they all go out of the city to surrender. Zhang jackal can't stop them.

When Shi Zun comes to Anyang Pavilion, Zhang Zhang has to come out to meet him and is arrested by Shi Zun. Shi Zun entered Yecheng through Fengyang gate, ascended the front hall of Taiwu and killed Zhang Zhang Zhang. Then he pretended that the order of Empress Dowager Liu asked Shi Zun to inherit the throne. So Shi Zun deposed Shi Shi and became emperor.

After Shi Zun ascended the throne, he appointed ran min as the governor of all military affairs at home and abroad, the Assistant General of the state, and the assistant official of the state.

Abolish the Emperor

At the beginning, when Shi Zun set out from Licheng, he once said to ran min, "work hard. After things succeed, I will let you be the prince." Soon after, Shi Zun made Shi Yan the crown prince. Ran min was disappointed. He thought that he had achieved great success for a while and tried to control the government. Shi Zun was afraid of this and could not appoint him. When ran min became the governor, he took charge of the military power inside and outside the palace. He appeased the soldiers in the palace and more than 10000 people in the former East Palace, declared them as generals outside the palace, and became Marquis outside the pass. He gave them maids to establish his own virtue. Shi Zun was not afraid of him, but changed the title and its appraisal to restrain ran min's influence. Many people complained. Shi Zun took the tactics of Zhongshu order Meng Zhun and Zuowei General Wang Luan. He was a little suspicious of Ran min and gradually seized his military power. Ran min shows more discontent. Meng Zhun and others advise Shi Zun to kill ran min. In November of the same year (349), Shi zunzhao, king of Yiyang, Shi Jian, and others entered the palace to discuss the matter in front of Empress Dowager Zheng, and they all asked to kill ran min. Empress Dowager Zheng said, "if you had not returned to Beijing from Licheng, how could you have today without ran min! He's a little bit arrogant. Don't kill him easily. " After Shi Jian left the palace, he sent eunuch Yang Huan to report to ran min. ran min immediately hijacked Li Nong and Wang Ji of the right guard and plotted to depose Shi Zun. General Su Hai and Zhou Cheng were instructed to lead 30 Jiashi to arrest Shi Zun in Ruyi temple and kill him in Kunhua hall.

After Shi Zun's death, Shi Jian, Yiyang king, the third son of Shi Hu, ascended the throne and appointed ran min as general and King Wude. In the same month (November of the fifth year of Yonghe), Shi Jian dispatched Wang Shibao of Leping, Li Song of Zhongshu Ling and Zhang Cai, the general of the palace, to murder ran min and Li Nong in the Kunhua palace late at night. Fearing ran min's rebellion, Shi Jian pretended not to know about it and killed Li Song and Zhang Cai at the West China Gate in the same night, killing Shi Bao at the same time.

At this time, Wang Shi, a new king, was only in Xiang state. He had friendly contacts with Yao Yizhong, Fu Hong, etc. he assembled his army and called for the punishment of Ran min and Li Nong. Shi Jian appointed Ruyin Wang Shikun as the governor of Dadu, and led 70000 cavalry troops with Zhang Ju and his servant Hu Yansheng to attack Shi Zhi and others in several ways. Shi Cheng, the leader of China, Shi Qi and Shi Hui, the former governor of Hedong, planned to kill ran min and Li Nong, who killed them.

The storm in Yezhong

At that time, general sun Fudu, Liu Zhu and others gathered 3000 Jiebing to ambush in the area where the Hu people lived and wanted to kill ran min and others. At that time, Shi Jian was in Zhongtai, and sun Fudu led more than 30 people to attack because they wanted to take Shi Jian on the stage. Shi Jian saw that Sun Fu was destroying the attic and asked why. Sun Fudu said: "Li Nong and others have gathered in dongyemen for their rebellion. I'm leading the guards. I'd like to inform you first." Shi Jian said: "you are a meritorious official. You should work hard for an official. I'm watching you from the stage, and I don't have to consider that you haven't reported to me yet. " So sun Fudu and Liu Zhu led the soldiers to attack ran min and Li Nong, but they failed to win. They stationed troops at fengyangmen.

Ran min and Li Nong, with thousands of soldiers, destroyed the Jinming gate and entered the palace. Fearing that ran min would kill himself, Shi Jian quickly recruited ran min and Li Nong, opened the Palace door to accept them, and said to them, "Sun Fudu conspired against him. You should attack him immediately." Ran min and Li Nong attacked and killed sun Fudu and others. From fengyangmen to Kunhua hall, the corpses were everywhere and the blood flowed into a river. Ran min issued an order to inform the court that all the six barbarians who dare to use weapons will be killed. Some of the Hu people broke through the city gate, some went out over the wall, and there were countless fugitives. Wang Jian, the Minister of the Imperial Palace, and Wang Yu, the Shaofu, led thousands of soldiers to guard Shi Jian at the Yulong temple, where food was suspended for him to eat. Ran min issued an order in the city, saying: "those who have the same heart with the officials will stay, while those who have different heart will leave." The city gate is no longer under martial law. So all the people of Zhao within a hundred Li came to the city, and Hujie, who left the city, also blocked the city gate. Ran min understood that the Hu people didn't want to use it for himself. He issued an order to inform the Zhao people inside and outside that he would cut off a Hu head and send it to fengyangmen. Every civil servant would be in the third class, and the military position would be in Yamen. In one day, tens of thousands of Hu people were killed. Ran min personally led the people of Zhao to kill Hu Jie. No matter how noble or humble, men or women, young or long, all of them were decapitated. More than 200000 people died. All of them were eaten by wild dogs and jackals outside the city. The local army killed the Hu people who gathered in all directions according to ran min's orders. At that time, half of the people who looked tall and bearded died of indiscriminate killing.

In the first month of the sixth year of Yonghe (after the first year of Zhao Qinglong, 350), ran min wanted to completely eliminate the Shi family. On the pretext of "following Zhao Li" in the prophecy, he changed the name of the state to Wei, changed the Shi family to Li family, implemented amnesty, and changed the year name to Qinglong.

Shi Kun, Zhang Ju and Wang Lang led 70000 people to attack Ye City, while ran min led more than 1000 cavalry to resist them in the north of the city. Ran min, with a two edged spear in his hand, galloped to attack. His opponent was defeated by the spear and killed 3000 of the first level.

Ran min and Li Nong led 30000 cavalry to Shidu to attack Zhang Hedu. In February, Shi Jian secretly sent eunuchs to summon Zhang Shen and others to attack Ye City. The eunuch reported the matter to ran min and Li Nong. Ran min and Li Nong quickly returned home, deposed Shi Jian and killed him. They also killed 38 of Shi Hu's grandchildren and wiped out the Shi family.

Establishment of Ran Wei

In the same year (350), after ranmin killed Shijian, 48 people, such as situ Shenzhong and Sikong langtian, respected ranmin as emperor. Ranmin insisted on giving it to Li Nong. Li Nong resolutely asked ranmin to be emperor with his death. So ranmin ascended the throne in the southern suburbs, granted amnesty to all prisoners, changed the year name to Yongxing, and the state name to Dawei, which was called Ranwei in history, and restored the surname of ran. bestow posthumous honors
