Chapter 4: Kill Hu Order

During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, in a certain military camp.

Ran Min was discussing matters with his generals in the tent.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent.

"General! General, come out and look!"

Ran Min frowned and stood up to walk out of the tent.

As soon as he looked up, he was stunned.

In the sky, a huge light screen stretched across the horizon, with golden light flowing.

On the light screen, a few large characters appeared—

【Review of the 10th place on the Huaxia Hero List: Ran Min】

"This..."

Ran Min rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.

The soldiers around him also exploded:

"General! It's you! It's your name!"

"The General's name is on the sky screen!"

"The General made the list! The General is a Huaxia hero!"

Ran Min stared at the sky screen, unable to speak for a long time.

The deputy general beside him was so excited that his face turned red,

"General! This is a supreme honor! The sky screen personally named you, the 10th place on the Huaxia Hero List!"

Ran Min took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his heartbeat still accelerated uncontrollably.

Tenth place.

Huaxia hero.

These four words were heavy.

The surrounding soldiers were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the sky screen.

Ran Min stood where he was, looking up at the light screen, his eyes complex.

……

The picture on the sky screen began to change.

Dark clouds rolled, blood flowed like a river.

【After the War of the Eight Princes in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Five Barbarians' Chaos occurred. The five tribes of Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, and Qiang entered the Central Plains, and the Han people were reduced to "two-legged sheep," being slaughtered and cooked at will.】

In the picture, Hu cavalry waved scimitars, rushing into the village, fire soaring into the sky, and crying and screaming were deafening.

Han civilians fled in all directions, but were caught up by the cavalry, cut down with one knife, women and children fell in a pool of blood, and infants were picked up on the tips of spears.

Miserable.

Too miserable to look at.

Qin Dynasty plane.

Ying Zheng's face turned gloomy instantly.

His hand pressed on the Tai'e Sword, his knuckles turning white: "These Hu people, dare to slaughter my Huaxia people like this?"

Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Wang Jian, and others also changed their expressions.

They were soldiers, having seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, but the scene in the picture still made their hearts tremble.

That was not a battlefield, that was a massacre.

A massacre of civilians.

Li Si muttered: "Two-legged sheep... actually comparing people to livestock..."

Ying Zheng said coldly: "Keep watching. I want to know what this Ran Min did."

……

Han Dynasty plane.

Liu Che's eyes turned red.

He stared at the tragic scenes in the sky screen, his fingers gripping his sleeves tightly.

"Five Barbarians' Chaos..."

His voice was low, "After my Han Dynasty fell, Huaxia actually fell to this point?"

Wei Zifu gently held his hand: "Your Majesty..."

The dissatisfaction on Huo Qubing's face disappeared, replaced by an indescribable expression.

He stared at the sky screen, his fists clenching and making a clicking sound.

Wei Qing sighed: "No wonder he is called a hero. At such a time, those who can stand up are all heroes."

……

Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Shimin watched the sky screen silently.

Empress Zhangsun said softly: "Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin waved his hand without speaking.

Cheng Yaojin stopped making noise, Yuchi Gong stopped making noise, everyone stared at the sky screen, watching those tragic scenes.

Li Jing said slowly: "Five Barbarians' Chaos... Every time I read about this in history books, I feel heavy in my heart."

Qin Qiong nodded: "The Han people at that time were too miserable."

……

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly: "Damn it!"

Empress Ma pulled him: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed heavily, pointing at the sky screen:

"Look! Look at the good things those Hu people did! Treating Han people as two-legged sheep? Is this something humans do?"

Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, calm down, calm down..."

"Calm down?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared with wide eyes,

"I also came from a poor background, and I hate those who bully the common people the most! These Hu people deserve to die!"

Xu Da, Lan Yu, and others looked at each other, none daring to persuade him.

……

Qing Dynasty plane.

Qianlong's face looked even worse.

The scenes in the sky screen were simply slapping him in the face.

Heshen observed his expression cautiously, not daring to say a word.

Qianlong snorted coldly: "Just some old events from the previous dynasty, what does it have to do with our Great Qing?"

But when he said this, his confidence was clearly insufficient.

……

The picture on the sky screen suddenly changed.

A figure appeared out of thin air.

【Just at this moment when Huaxia civilization was on the verge of extinction, one person stood up—Ran Min!】

In the picture, Ran Min charged into the Hu army formation alone, his long spear sweeping, and the Hu cavalry fell off their horses one after another.

He was covered in blood, killing the Hu people until corpses were strewn across the field.

【In 350 AD, Ran Min issued the "Kill Hu Order," ordering the Han people to rise up and resist: "Any of the six barbarians inside or outside who dare to carry weapons will be beheaded!"】

【For a time, inside and outside Yecheng, more than 200,000 Barbarian people were killed. The Han people responded one after another, picking up weapons to resist the Barbarian tyranny.】

In the picture, Ran Min galloped through the army, the long spear in his hand piercing one Hu general after another, and wherever the horse's hooves stepped, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

【Ran Min won ten battles out of ten, established the Ran Wei regime, and turned the tide with his own strength. Later historians evaluated: Ran Min's bravery saved the Han people from the disaster of extinction.】

【He is called the "Heavenly King of Slaughtering Hu," and some say he killed innocent people. But it is undeniable that at that darkest moment, he stood up and protected the Huaxia bloodline.】

Qin Dynasty plane.

Ying Zheng nodded slowly: "This person is worthy of the word hero."

Meng Tian was silent, his previous dissatisfaction already gone.

Meng Yi said in a low voice: "If I were at that time, I might not have his courage."

Wang Jian stroked his beard: "Being able to rise up in a desperate situation is indeed remarkable."

Han Dynasty plane.

The dissatisfaction on Huo Qubing's face disappeared completely, and he stared at Ran Min in the sky screen, with a bit more respect in his eyes.

Wei Qing patted him on the shoulder,

"Why, not angry anymore?"

Huo Qubing shook his head: "He had it harder than me."

Wei Qing was stunned, then smiled: "Well said. You fought the Xiongnu with the entire Great Han behind you. He fought the Hu people with nothing behind him."

Liu Che said in a deep voice: "Five Barbarians' Chaos... After my Great Han, there was such a disaster."

He looked at Wei Qing and Huo Qubing,

"I want you to remember this day. Remember those scenes. I want to use the strength of the whole country to wipe out the Xiongnu and never allow my Huaxia descendants to fall to that point!"

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing bowed together,

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Shimin sighed: "This is the real hero. Not for his own selfish interests, but for the entire ethnic group."

Li Jing nodded: "Your Majesty is wise. Being able to stand up at such a time requires not only courage but also responsibility."

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head: "I, Old Cheng, am convinced. This Ran Min is a real man."

Qing Dynasty plane.

Qianlong's face turned green and white.

The higher the evaluation of Ran Min on the sky screen, the more his face hurt.

Heshen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, should we... go back and rest?"

Qianlong glared at him: "Rest? What rest? I want to see who these top nine are!"

He was tough on the outside, but his heart was already drumming.

This tenth place is such a figure, what about the top nine?

Especially, are there any ancestors of the Manchu Qing in there?

Qianlong didn't dare to think further.

……

The picture on the sky screen continued to play.

【However, the ending of a hero is often tragic.】

【In 352 AD, Ran Min fought against Murong Ke of the Former Yan at Liantai, was outnumbered, and was defeated and captured.】

In the picture, Ran Min was covered in wounds and was tied up and taken to Murong Ke.

Murong Ke told him to kneel, but he held his head high and didn't move.

【Murong Ke asked: You slave, why did you try to claim the title of Emperor?】

【Ran Min replied: The world is in chaos, and you barbarians can claim the title of Emperor, let alone a hero of Huaxia?】

As soon as this sentence came out, all dynasties were silent. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
