The Qiang people, an extinct people in ancient China, were spurned for what they did

Mondo Entertainment Updated on 2024-03-06

In the long history, the turmoil in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty is particularly conspicuous. It was a chaotic period of infighting among the royal family, due to the large number of members of the royal family, each with the ambition to become the ruler of the world. These members of the imperial family, holding military power and noble status, have set their sights on the throne, and the internal strife has greatly damaged the vitality of the Western Jin Dynasty.

This confusion did not create any defense against foreign enemies, but instead gave the border aliens an opportunity to take advantage of it. These border tribes, hearing of the chaos in the Central Plains, raised troops to invade one after another, trying to get a piece of the melee. During this time, some forces chose to accumulate silently, wait for the opportunity, and quietly grow in the internal melee of the Western Jin Dynasty.

And this turmoil also led to the famous "Five Hu Chaohua" in history. The name of the Qiang tribe began to appear frequently in history books during that period. As for the origin of the Qian, there are different theories, some say that they were a branch of the Xiongnu, while others believe that they were a small tribe in the frontier. However, no matter what **, their combat effectiveness and survivability are beyond doubt.

The Qiang people are brave and brave in battle, and can adapt to extreme climates and difficult combat environments. In the Five Wilds, the benefits they get are probably the greatest. But their ambitions did not stop there, they were not only satisfied with material wealth, they longed for greater power - to rule the entire Central Plains.

Shi Le, an outstanding leader of the Qiang tribe, led his people all the way to the Central Plains, eventually overthrowing the state of Zhao and establishing Later Zhao. Although Shile was known for his military might, he also tried to learn the culture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, established schools, and instituted systems in an attempt to establish a prosperous regime.

However, this prosperity was confined to the Karma people. For the Han people, Shile implemented a policy of "Hu and Han partition", under which the Han people suffered great oppression and lived in dire straits.

One day in 333 A.D., Shile died in the palace with his eyes closed. This strong man who once frightened the people of the world is gone, and although there is a trace of relief in people's hearts, they do not know that a greater storm is coming.

Shile's death left a power vacuum, and his eldest son, Shihiro, was supposed to succeed to the throne and maintain the stability of the dynasty. However, Shi Hu, the ambitious nephew, is secretly plotting a plot to seize power. Soon after, Shi Hong was tragically killed, and Shi Hu proclaimed himself emperor, beginning an even bloodier period of rule.

Shi Hu's methods of rule were even more cruel than Shi Le's. He did not possess Shiler's ability to govern the country, and indulged in luxuries and mistreatment of foreign races day after day. On one occasion, he ordered hundreds of thousands of men and women to gather in one place, using the ravages of the flood as entertainment, while innocent people struggled, escaped, or were murdered in the flood, while laughing himself in the distant boat.

What's even more absurd is that in order to satisfy his desire for luxury, Shi Hu gathered hundreds of thousands of people and forced them to build a more magnificent palace for himself. These conscripts were starved and homeless, and were beaten and humiliated daily by the Qiang overseers. Under this inhumane treatment, some people choose to fight to the death, but many more can only endure in silence, because they know that the slightest resistance can lead to the destruction of their families.

Shi Hu's ** not only deepened the contradictions between Hu and Han, but also made the foundation of the Later Zhao Dynasty more and more fragile. This history has become a bloody and sad memory, profoundly portraying the dark side of human nature and the brutality of rulers.

In those dark times, it was the norm to walk a few steps to see the tragic scene of innocent people's bodies hanging from the treetops or eaves. Sadly, this tragic situation not only failed to touch the heartstrings of Shi Hu and his subordinates, but instead provoked them to become more fanatical. They treated the bodies of these innocent people inhumanely, and there are even rumors that some of the corpses that had been brutally disposed of were used by them for unspeakable consumption.

Such atrocities naturally aroused the wrath of the world. When the Han Chinese population in the north plummeted to just a few hundred, the instinct to survive prompted them to renew themselves against this brutal force. The soldiers of the Qiang nationality, who have enjoyed peace for a long time, have long lost their former sharpness, and in the face of the resistance of the Han people, they have been defeated and retreated.

With this wave of revolt, Shi Hu's bloody rule finally collapsed. The fleeing Karma people, looking for refuge, find that their former brutality has ruined their reputation. They arrive in the Southern Great, hoping to find refuge, but who can easily trust these former tyrants?

The local people and the surrounding tribes still have a fresh memory of the history of the Qian, and their suspicion and fear have led them to decide to join forces to prevent history from repeating itself. In the end, the remnants of the Qiang tribe were completely eradicated under the combined force, and this group disappeared from the long river of history.

There is often a sense of regret for many extinctions in history, because it represents the end of a story, the loss of countless lives. However, the demise of the Karma people made people breathe a sigh of relief, because their disappearance meant the complete end of that period. This is not only a consolation to the innocent victims, but also an expectation of a better vision for the future. Although this page of history is bloody, it has also taught many profound lessons for future generations.
