赵慈 / Zhao Ci (late Han)

赵慈 / Zhao Ci enters the wiki through Hanji 936 as the Jiangxia rebel whose 186 CE rising kills Qin Jie, the administrator of 南阳郡.

The source uses Zhao Ci as one part of the same late-Han crisis field that includes western command disorder, Emperor Ling’s palace spending, eunuch patronage, and frontier incursions. Zhao Ci is later killed by Jingzhou inspector Wang Min in June 186, after which the court continues personnel reshuffling.
