Which dynasty in China is the darkest? Some people think it is Ming Dynasty , some people think it is Qing Dynasty , and some people think it is the late Eastern Han Dynasty. But I think the darkest dynasty in China was the establishment of the Han regime and the Liu family regime (304), until the 135-year period of the Northern Wei Dynasty unification of the north (439). Some scholars also call it " Yongjia Rebellion ", "Central Plains Sinking", "Central Plains Falling", etc. During this period, historians generally believed that it was a disaster for the Han people.

Let me first talk about the background of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. Since Historical , Hu people have been constantly migrating to the Central Plains. Among them, the earliest ethnic group to go south was Hun . The original Huns were against the Central Plains dynasty. It does not constitute a threat, but after the Central Plains dynasty, the Huns will develop, and over time, the strength of the Huns will continue to increase.

However, to Eastern Han period, decades of turmoil, war, coupled with natural disaster , the population in the north dropped sharply, the Central Plains were empty, and the Hu people were less damaged at that time. Cao Cao moved it inward, which could enrich the northern population and consolidate the northern rule. Unfortunately, Cao Cao's actions have both advantages and disadvantages. Although it can increase labor force to the north in a short period of time, it also laid the foundation for the later Hu people to trample on the Central Plains.
Jin Wudi After Sima Yan ascended the throne, he also continued the mature national policy that had been established for hundreds of years. Not only that, but also went further. He received requests from the Xiongnu people to be attached many times, with 150,000 people in front and after, especially Emperor Wu, who was proud of the victory after the destruction of Sun Wu, was very proud of the Xiongnu people. At most, more than 100,000 Huns were received at one time. Some ministers of the Jin Dynasty, seeing the increasing number of minority representatives represented by the Huns in China, some Jin ministers also wrote a letter to express their concerns. The most famous one is the "On the Moving Rong" by Jiang Tong .

However, Emperor Wu of Jin did not adopt his opinion, and later it caused The Eight Kings Rebellion . From then on, the Jin Dynasty's military power was divided, the country's strength was empty, the people's livelihood was declining, and the military power of the Jin Dynasty declined rapidly. Major injuries. The Hu people took the opportunity to raise an army and invade the Central Plains, and the Central Plains was in chaos. Over the past hundred years, dozens of regimes of varying strength and size were established by the Hu people and Han people, which are known in history as the "Five Barbarians Invading China".
The five most representative regimes are the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di and Qiang. The most brutal one is Jie tribe . Historical records show that the Jie tribe never carries food and grass in marching and fighting, and specifically plunders Han women as military rations. The Jie tribe is called "two-legged sheep", which means slaves and livestock driven away like sheep with two feet. They are used to commit adultery at night and slaughter and cook during the day.

to Ran Min When the defeat of Jie Zhao, there were only 4 million Han people in the Central Plains left ( Western Jin about 20 million). Ran Min liberated Yedu and rescued the plundered Han people once. The girl has 200,000. These Han women are domestic animals raised by Jie people as "two-legged sheep". They are raped anytime, anywhere, or may be slaughtered and cooked anytime, anywhere.
When the species was almost dead, the remaining northern Han refugees decided to rise up and resist. Later Zhao general Ran Min issued a killing order to make the Han people rise and resist. Millions of Hu civilians such as the Huns, Qiang, Di and other Hu people were destroyed, and nearly one million Hu soldiers were beheaded. The Jie people, which were slaughtered the most, migrated or slaughtered, and were basically extinct in the Central Plains, which allowed the blood of the Han people to be preserved.
