Chapter 121 The number one fierce general, Overlord Xiang Yu!
[Looking at the entire history of China, the Jin Dynasty can almost be said to be the worst unified dynasty in Chinese history.]
[Due to the implementation of the nine-level Zhongzheng system, the powerful have monopolized the ruling class.
It was severely corrupt when the country was founded, and there was no new atmosphere at the founding of the country. On the contrary, it was even more decadent than the previous dynasty.
The emperor sold his officials and conferred titles, introduced barbarians, and randomly distributed feudal states; the harem interfered with politics; the nobles took drugs, suppressed the people's thoughts, worshiped money to the extreme, and had nihilistic beliefs. The whole country was in ruins.]
[What was the Southern Jin Dynasty doing during the time when Ran Min was killing Hu?]
["In the ninth year of Yonghe, when I was in Guichou, at the beginning of late spring, I met at the Lanting Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji." The country was about to perish. The people in the north were in dire straits under the iron hooves of the aliens, and sages like Wang Xizhi were still eating.
Drinking Wushi Powder, drinking wine, chatting and reciting poems, this is what happened in the Southern Dynasties.】
[Although Ran Min only became emperor for a few years, and although Ran Min was defeated and killed, he drove away the Hu immigrants from the hinterland of the Central Plains, completely annihilated the white Jie people, and reversed the wave of inward migration of the Hu people.
The Han civilization turned a corner and was able to be called a national hero.]
[Strictly speaking, Ran Min is not a nationalist. It can even be said that his national sentiments were born in political struggles.
Moreover, Ran Min was not a qualified politician. He was stubborn and did not listen to advice, which eventually led to his defeat and death.
Not only did he fail to complete the task of expelling the Tartars, but even many barbarian regimes appeared in the northern land after him.
However, Ran Min single-handedly turned an era around and became one of the few heroes who created the situation and reversed the trend!]
[Compared with creating heroes by the times, it is obviously more difficult to create heroes by the times.
Although Ran Min's historical achievements were simple and incomplete, he prevented the barbaric growth and rule of the Hu people in the Central Plains, awakened the blood in the hearts of the Han people, and preserved the Han people's status as the main body in the Central Plains.
The crisis of the destruction of the Han nation was lifted.】
[Many people think that Ran Min's killing was too serious. After all, too many Hu people died at his hands. Some even some black fans said that Ran Min's order to kill Hu was just a tool for his rise to power.
But for the Han people, he is a well-deserved national hero.
Because of him, countless Han people were saved from being killed by the Hu people; because of him, we Han people had hope of defeating the Hu people; because of him, the Hu people completely stopped their ambition to destroy the Han nation.]
[To sum up, Ran Min ranks second among the top ten warriors in history, and he deserves it!]
Historically, Ran Min was defeated by Murong Xianbei. Murong Jun sent Ran Min to Longcheng and beheaded him on Mount Lixing. All the vegetation in the seven miles to the left and right of the mountain withered, locusts broke out, and there was a drought since May.
Until December.
Murong Jun sent an envoy to offer sacrifices to Ran Min, who was posthumously named King Wu Dao. It snowed heavily that day.
But in the time and space of Ran Min, who was selected by the system, the moment the executioner aimed the sword at Ran Min's neck, a wordless stone tablet fell from the sky, crushing the executioner beside Ran Min into a pulp!
At the same time, a golden light shot out, and Ran Min suddenly disappeared.
After looking at the inventory of Ran Min and the previous fierce generals, Murong Jun looked a little ugly.
He didn't understand what the stone tablet falling from the sky meant, nor did he know what the video producer named "Su Qian" wanted to do.
If a person with such "magic power" really wanted to do something, then Murong Jun would really have a headache.
After finishing the live broadcast of the inventory video of the second place Ran Min, the next step is the inventory video of the last one in the "Top Ten Heroes in History", which is also the number one ranking.
Although the first one has not yet appeared, almost everyone has guessed who he is.
That’s right!
He is regarded as a myth by all warriors - the Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu!
[A man of indomitable spirit, a true hero who will last forever!]
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten heroes in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[The characters listed in this issue are: No. 1 among the top ten mighty generals in history, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu!]
After the slightly sad music, a military commander with a handsome appearance and a soft yet resolute face appeared in the video.
His eyes are not big, but each eye has two black eyes (double pupils). Whenever he violently kills people, the two black eyes will overlap into one, but they do not look vicious.
He is tall and well-proportioned, with muscles on his body that are full of strength.
History books say that he was able to lift a thousand-jin cauldron above his head with both hands, which meant he was lifting the cauldron for the overlord.
He likes the color black, and his armor, horses, and weapons are all black.
[He is a legend, a myth, and a tragedy.
Xiang Yu, a well-known name.
Even among the celebrities who have been circulating in China for thousands of years, Xiang Yu is definitely a very unique existence.】
["Successful kings, defeated bandits", this is the standard used by history to judge those great figures who are all-powerful and have left their names in history. However, it seems that Xiang Yu is not among this standard.
He failed, and failed completely.
Not only did he play the good cards in life to pieces, but in the end he also risked his own life and the life of his beloved.
However, even so, his personal image and his personality charm are still perfectly erected in the hearts of the Chinese people.】
【You will be a hero in life, but you will be a hero in death.】
[To this day, I miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River.]
[The reason why this poem has become an eternal masterpiece is precisely because it eulogizes the heroic image of the protagonist Xiang Yu, and also puts forward a hypothesis, "If Xiang Yu is willing to cross Jiangdong."]
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that there is no if. By then Liu Bang had already had the power to dominate the world. Even if he could return to Jiangdong, how could he fight against the powerful King of Han with a corner of his territory?"
Although Liu Bang was the final winner, he always respected Xiang Yu very much. "The Overlord is a hero. Without him, we would not have been able to overthrow the rule of Qin in just a few years."
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Yu's handsome and resolute face and murmured: "I finally see your true face!"
Qin Shihuang sent countless people to find Xiang Yu's whereabouts, but Xiang Yu seemed to have disappeared from the world, with no news at all.
Now that we have Xiang Yu's exact appearance, it should be easier to find him, right?
"No matter what, Xiang Yu must be found!" A cold light flashed in Qin Shihuang's eyes, "Whether you can be used by me or not, you must be under my nose!"
[The "Ben Ji" in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" was originally designed to record the deeds of emperors, but it only included the deeds of Xiang Yu, a "defeated bandit".
It can be seen that in Sima Qian’s heart, or in his time, people already regarded Xiang Yu as a hero.]
[Xiang Yu’s real name is Xiang Ji, Yu is his given name. He was from Xiaxiang County, Sishui County.
Xiang Yu was born in the upper class of Chu State. His grandfather was Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu State. His uncle Xiang Liang, who raised him and took him with him, was also a general of Chu State.
The pampered life and the training and teachings of his uncle made Xiang Yu pretentious from an early age.
And his ability does give him the capital to be pretentious.】
