Han surname (13) | Han E, a famous folk singer in the pre-Qin period, told her story in three days with the idiom lingering.

During the Han Dynasty, the two counties named Yingchuan County and Nanyang County gradually formed. At the same time, Han people spread widely and moved to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shandong, Gansu, Hebei, Beijing and some areas in the north.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, people surnamed Han were very dazzling on the historical stage, and even decided the direction of history. Among them, three Han Xin have their own wonderful stories.

Let’s talk about the first Han Xin. It is said that he was the last king of South Korea, Han An, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, who was a descendant of Wang An.

After the demise of Korea, Han Wang ‘an was moved to Yingchen, the former capital of Chu.

As we mentioned earlier, Wang An-han is also a backward king. When he took over the South Korean landscape from his father Han Huanhui and Wang Hanran, this landscape was no longer in its heyday, but was in a declining state.

More importantly, Han Wang also inherited the incompetence of his parents.

During Han Zhaohou’s reign, South Korea was also weak and often beaten, but he reused Shen Buhai as a prime minister, and made it strong through political reform, which made South Korea become strong soon, stubbornly standing among the predatory vassal states, and became one of the seven heroes of the Warring States.

If Han Wang ‘an had a little ability, although he inherited a mess full of holes, but he managed it carefully and worked hard, South Korea would not have become the first country among the six males to be eaten by Qin.

If Han Wang-an can see clearly the international situation at that time, understand Qiang Qin’s hegemonic position and follow Qin wholeheartedly, maybe South Korea can survive for some time.

However, these are all assumptions, and history will not have assumptions and will not come again.

After Qin destroyed South Korea, it was more tolerant of Han Wang, who did not make much fierce resistance. After all, Han Wang surrendered voluntarily when he was cornered.

Therefore, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, did not kill Han Wang, nor did he move him to a remote area far away from the Central Plains, but moved him to Yingchen (once the capital of Chu) not far from South Korea, leaving room for moderation.

In doing so, Ying Zheng aims to let Han Wang-an leave South Korea, cut off the connection between him and Koreans, and guard against possible accidents.

But what Ying Zheng didn’t expect was that Ying Chen had been a hot spot against Qin since he was captured by Qin Jun. Not only did the old people of Chu rebel constantly, but also anti-Qin fugitives from all over the world gathered here. Zhang Liang, for example, once came here to secretly engage in anti-Qin activities after his demise in South Korea.

Historically, after any country is destroyed, there will be unwilling adherents who continue to engage in resistance activities, and Korean adherents are no exception. Their desire to resist Qin and revive South Korea has not died out and they have never stopped underground resistance.

Han Wang ‘an was moved to Yingchen by Ying Zheng, which became the fuse of Korean anti-Qin activities from underground to ground, from concealment to publicity.

An anti-Qin rebellion broke out in South Korea, and Han Wang was implicated and died.

Shortly after Han Wang ‘an was moved to Yingchen, in 226 BC, a large-scale anti-Qin rebellion broke out in Xinzheng, the former capital of South Korea’s old aristocracy.

For this rebellion, the historical records are unknown, and it is difficult to know its detailed process.

But we can infer that the purpose of resistance is to revive South Korea. In this case, there must be a reason to advocate and call on everyone to rise up against Qin, otherwise everyone will listen to you when you say you are against Qin. You have to give a specific reason first.

This reason must be visible, tangible and possible. The biggest possibility is to call on everyone to rise up against Qin in the name of Han Wang’ an.

Therefore, this rebellion, not only played the name of Han Wang’ an, but also had a plan to "rob the prison", that is, to save Han Wang’ an from Xi Chen and lead everyone to fight against Qin together.

Only such a national salvation route and plan can make people believe that the resistance is reliable, hopeful and hopeful.

Of course, the final result was that the resistance failed, and Qin Jun suppressed the uprising.

As for the ending of Han Wang ‘an, relevant historical materials say that Han Wang ‘an died shortly after this rebellion.

It is worth noting that there is no historical data showing that Han Wang was executed or died of rebellion.

Then, why did Han Wang ‘an die soon after the failure of the Korean rebellion? It is obviously a bit illogical to say that his death has nothing to do with the resistance.

If Ying Zheng wanted to let Wang An die, he should have been killed after the demise of South Korea, so as not to bother to move Wang An to Xi Chen and put him under house arrest, and to send heavily guarded.

Therefore, it is most likely that after Ying Zheng suppressed the Korean rebellion, after investigation, he found evidence that Han Wang was involved in this rebellion.

In order to put an end to future troubles, cut off the rebels’ hope of using Han Wang-an to restore the country, and with Ying Zheng’s temper, simply let Han Wang-an die, cut off this influential "flag", get rid of it once and for all, and end up quiet.

From this point of view, the death of Han Wang ‘an should be caused by the involvement of South Korean resistance activities.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Han Wang did participate in the planning behind the rebellion, and was later involved in the rebellion and killed in it.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, Han Xin participated in the establishment of achievements in quelling the rebellion between Zhu and Lu.

How many sons does Han Wang An have? There is no detailed record in historical materials. But this Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty is said to be the descendant of Han Yun, the second son of Han Wang.

Han Yunsheng Han Long, Han Longsheng Han Zhi, and Han Zhi gave birth to Han Xin.

In the 4th year of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty (191 BC), Han Xin was recommended as Xiao Lian and entered the official career.

In 195 BC, Liu Bang died, Prince Liu Ying ascended the throne as Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Lv Zhi began to monopolize power.

In August 188 BC, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty died of depression. Lv Zhi made Liu Gong, the eldest son and prince of Liu Ying, the emperor, and became the first person in the dictatorship of Empress China.

In order to strengthen her rule, Lv Zhi constantly cracked down on Liu’s princes and ministers who opposed her, and sealed her maiden family’s consorts with Lu’s surname, and successively made more than 10 Lu’s family kings and princes, which was called "Zhu Lu" in history.

In August 180 BC, Lv Zhi died of illness. The struggle for power broke out between the consorts group of Lu and the royal group of Liu, and the founding heroes Chen Ping and zhou bo responded, and the kings of Liu rose up and killed Zhu Lu. In the end, the Liu family group won.

Lu Jia and Chen Ping conspired against Zhu Lu. (according to the comic book)

In quelling the rebellion of Zhu-Lv, Han Xin also participated in it, made great achievements, and was appointed as County Yin. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Han Xin was made a captain for riding cars, and later he was promoted to the position of Governor of Hejiang County.

According to legend, this descendant of Han Xin changed his surname to He in order to avoid disaster because Han Xin offended the powerful people in the DPRK when he was an official.

Many researchers have expressed doubts about this statement, which is not shown here for the time being.
