The only ancient nation that was destroyed, all the bad things were surrounded and suppressed, and the name seems familiar
Fifty-six flowers, fifty-six clans, one family. There were more than 100 of China's 56 ethnic groups in history. Ethnic migration and integration are inevitable in history, and national unity is the trend of the times. "
In the long course of history, almost no nation has been able to disappear completely. Although the footsteps of some peoples are difficult to trace, they are usually absorbed and perpetuated by other peoples, preserving their ancient culture and bloodline.
However, in the history of China, there is one ethnic group that has completely disappeared, and that is the Qian. The Xiongnu were a branch or tribe of the Xiongnu at that time, and they were a very weak nation.
In turbulent times, their rights and interests were not guaranteed and could only be used as slaves. The ** of the Western Jin Dynasty even bought and sold them as commodities, and they wore wooden flails on their heads and were sold.
However, despite such a difficult fate, the Qiang people still gave birth to a great figure, who was Shi Le, the founding emperor of Later Zhao. Born into a poor peasant family, Shile experienced the upheaval of life and even became a slave.
However, with his wisdom and courage, he built a powerful empire and became the founding emperor of China.
Shile originally had a wealthy life, and his father had a certain amount of power among the Karma people. However, after the death of his father, he was forced to become a sharecropper, and despite the hardships of life, at least he had no worries about food and clothing.
However, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" broke out in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the streets were full of Western Jin officers and soldiers who captured the Hu people, and after being caught, they would be sold into slavery. Shile has been taking refuge, suffering from hunger and cold, and his life is difficult.
Shile's luck was really bad, one day, he was eating, he was suddenly caught by officers and soldiers, and then sold to Shandong.
As ill-fated as a slave, Shile suffered as a slave, but met a kind buyer in Shandong, who freed him from the shackles of his status. However, the free Schler did not stop there, and he chose to wander again and work for others.
However, life does not seem to be going well, and soon Shile is arrested again by the official army, and this twisted fate makes him spend every day in fear. However, all these experiences gradually changed Schler's mind, and he did not want to be bullied anymore and did not want to live an uncertain life anymore.
Shile meets the Wrangler Kisan and becomes a confidant. He and Wang Yang, Wu Yu and other 17 brave men, formed the eighteen cavalry. These eighteen horsemen have developed from robbing homes and houses to conquering cities, and from occupying mountains as kings to bringing capital into shares.
Schler also completed the transition from slave to general. In 307 AD, he defected to Liu Yuan, a Hun and was named King of Pingjin. Shile's repeated victories in the war made Liu Yuan attach more importance to him.
In the second year of Liu Yuan's reign as emperor, Shi Le captured Jizhou with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Shile's rise attracted the surrounding Hu tribes and Han scholars, allowing him to rapidly expand his power in troubled times.
Liu Yuan's adopted son Liu Yao inherited the throne and changed the name of the country to "Zhao", which was known as "Han Zhao" or "Former Zhao" in history. Shi Le established the "Later Zhao" and had many battles with Liu Yao.
Ten years later, Shi Le successfully eliminated the "former Zhao" and became emperor. However, just a year later, Schler fell ill and died. His nephew Shi Hu staged a coup d'état, took control of the imperial government, took control of the crown prince, and made the crown prince a puppet emperor.
Two years later, Shi Hu established himself as the Great Zhao Heavenly King and killed Shi Le's relatives. Shi Hu's brutal behavior triggered *** and laid the foundation for the demise of the Qiang people.
Regarding the origin of the Qian, there is a theory that it was originally only a small branch of the Xiongnu, and was even used as slaves by the Xiongnu. However, it was not easy for the Qiang people to become independent from the Xiongnu and become a quasi-nation.
However, the existence of this quasi-nation was very short-lived, as early as the first century AD, the Xiongnu were defeated by the powerful Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu were forced to move west to Eastern Europe to establish a state, while the Southern Xiongnu submitted to the Han Dynasty.
By the beginning of the fourth century, the Jin dynasty had declined, and the Southern Xiongnu had begun to plan a rebellion, so they joined the destruction of the Central Plains.
In history, the Xiongnu once led more than a dozen tribes, of which the Qiang was one of them. However, the origin of the Qiang people has been debated. However, they did not consider themselves only vassals of the Xiongnu, but chose to revolt and successfully separated.
By the time of the Wuhu Rebellion in the fourth century AD, the Qiang people gradually developed into a nation that could keep pace with the Xiongnu and became the main tribe of the Rebellion. In the summer of 317 A.D., the north was hit by a severe drought and locust plague, which made life extremely difficult for the Qiang people.
Shi Le, the leader of the Qiang people, even ordered to rob the people of other ethnic groups of food, which led to the deep resentment of the various ethnic groups against the Qiang people, and began large-scale wars.
The heroic fighting style of the Qian, which is more suitable to be described as wild, made them not only not defeated by the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Han and other tribes under the leadership of the ambitious Shile, but established the Later Zhao regime in 319 AD.
Over the next decade, they pacified the Guanzhong region, destroyed the former Zhao, and cut off a piece of meat from the Jin Dynasty, gaining great fame. In 329 A.D., when Shile officially ascended the throne and became emperor, Hou Zhao had sufficient soldiers and horses, advanced and was the most powerful country in that period.
Therefore, Shile decided to accept all the Qiang people as the subjects of Later Zhao.
Although Shi Le was the emperor of the Qianren people, he had a deep love for Han culture. However, after Shihu usurped the throne, neither the Qiang nor the other Hu were willing to accept a Han as their monarch, which led to internal strife and strife.
Ran Min ordered the Qiang people, which led to the outbreak of internal war. Subsequently, the royal family of Later Zhao fell into the predicament of infighting, and their strength was greatly reduced. Later Zhao's tyrannical behavior eventually turned against him and was exterminated by other countries.
All the ethnic groups took revenge on the Qian, especially the Ran Wei State established by Ran Min, which completely exterminated the Later Zhao royal family. In 352 AD, the state of Ran Wei fell. Only a few of the Qiang people, led by Hou Jing, fled to Southern Liang, where they received a temporary respite.
Conclusion: However, Hou Jing did not know what to do, and launched the Hou Jing Rebellion in 548 AD, and Nanliang could only kill all the last remaining Qianren. Since then, the Qiang people have completely disappeared in the long river of history.
This fully illustrates that those who do evil will eventually receive their due retribution, and tyrannical karma people are no exception. Taking history as a mirror, we should pay more attention to the cultural differences of various ethnic groups, abide by ethnic policies, and promote national unity.
Only in this way can our country prosper and develop in harmony.
