Emperor Qin: "Well, this move is a merit, not a fault. ”Han Gaozu Liu Bang: "It must be a merit, our descendants have played the blood of the Han people, why is it still a fault?"
It has to be merit!
”Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: "Indeed, since the establishment of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, the siege of Baideng has caused the emperors of every Han dynasty to send money and women to ask for peace, but what?
The Xiongnu still continue to disturb the border of the Han Dynasty every year and slaughter the people!
”Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: "It is also because of this that Liu Che completely played the bloody nature of the Han people, so that there are no Huns in the north!"
”Chen Xuan: "So this is a merit, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will open the Western Regions!"
”Chen Xuan: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's concept of governing the country is very different from his father and grandparents, that is, he is proactive and enterprising, rather than Xiao Gui Cao Sui and Huang Lao follow.This enterprising spirit is most evident in dealing with the Xiongnu issue. ”Chen Xuan: "Since the pre-Qin period, the Xiongnu have been the northern threat of the Zhuxia regime in the Central Plains.During the Warring States Period, Yan had the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu, Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry shot in order to deal with the Xiongnu, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, and Meng Tian garrisoned the border fortress, all to resist the Huns' iron cavalry south. ”Chen Xuan: "In the early years of Liu Bang's reign, he tried to use force against the Xiongnu, but was besieged by the Xiongnu in Baishan Mountain......
Almost caught.Later, he adopted Lou Jing's policy of harmony......
"Chen Xuan:" In the second year after Liu Bang's death, the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan once provoked that he wanted to marry the widowed Empress Dowager Lu.Empress Dowager Lu swallowed her anger and personally repaired a book, saying that it was better to listen to it alone, the mourning family was actually old and ugly, and I prepared a beautiful princess of the Han family for you.During the Wenjing period, they were also resting and recuperating, and continued to reconcile with the Xiongnu. ”Emperor Qin: "Liu Bang!
That's how you became emperor?
Weak!!
Darn!!!
”Liu Bang, who was in Dahan, looked at the message sent by Brother Zheng in the chat group, and trembled...... hurriedly said: "Brother Zheng, there is no way to do this, the Han Dynasty was built on the ruins of Daqin, the civil strife in Zhuxia has been too long, too many young and middle-aged people have died, and they don't have much energy to deal with the Huns, so they have to recuperate......"
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: "We agree with this......
Our Ming Dynasty is also built on the ruins, even poorer than the Han Dynasty, that Mengyuan occupied Zhuxia for hundreds of years, scraped Zhuxia treasures, and now the Ming Dynasty is poor jingling, and has to recuperate......
"Wu Zhou Empress Wu Cao: "If the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, why are you afraid of his Huns?"
Although Gaozu of the Han Dynasty began to send money and women to ask for peace, he was able to recuperate for so many years to support Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to repeatedly go to the Xiongnu and even open the Silk Road. ”Chen Xuan: "That's right, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, relying on the accumulation of 60 years since the founding of the country, after full preparation, he used outstanding generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight against the Xiongnu.It was in this context that Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Da Yue clan. ”Wu Cao, Empress Wu of Zhou: "According to records, in 139 BC, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Dayue clan, which was originally a military diplomatic act.The Da Yue clan is nomadic in the Hexi Corridor and the Tianshan Mountains.The Huns and the Da Yue clan had a conquest against each other, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the Da Yue clan was defeated, the king was killed by the Huns, and his head was made into a drinking vessel by the Huns, and the Yue people were forced to flee west.Such information was known to the Han Dynasty, and they sent Zhang Qian to the west to make contact, expecting to take joint action with the Da Yue clan to "cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu". ”Chen Xuan: "It is also because of this that it is rumored that wherever Zhang Qian goes, Liu Che will hit wherever he goes!"
Liu Che sent Zhang Qian to negotiate, for a year, but he still didn't know the essentials, so he had to return to ......"
Chen Xuan: "After returning, Zhang Qian followed Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu, because he understood the geography of the mountains and rivers in the Xiongnu region and where the water and grass weeds were, he made great contributions to the victory of the Han army, and was named the Marquis of Bowang.Chen Xuan: "Although Zhang Qian's first trip to the Western Regions did not form an alliance with the Dayue clan, he unexpectedly reported the political, economic, geographical, cultural, and customs of the Western Regions to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which aroused Emperor Wu of Han's interest in running the Western Regions. ”According to records, at the same time as Zhang Qian's first mission to the Western Regions, Liu Che also began to launch a series of attacks against the Xiongnu, among which the decisive ones were the three battles fought in 127, 121, and 119 BC!
In 127 BC, Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu and took control of the Hetao.In 121 BC, the Xiongnu were divided under the blow of Huo Qu's disease, and the evil king of Hun descended to the Han Dynasty, and the Hexi Corridor was completely controlled by the Han Dynasty!
In 119 B.C., Wei Qing and Huo Qubing parted ways to attack the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu escaped in a single defeat, thus further expelling the Xiongnu to Mobei.After these three large-scale counterattacks, the Han Dynasty had seized the initiative in the struggle against the Xiongnu, and the road to the Western Regions was basically unblocked, which created the necessary conditions for Zhang Qian's second mission to the Western Regions, the safe and smooth flow of the Silk Road thereafter, and the friendly exchanges between the countries of the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty.However, the Han counterattack only cleared the Xiongnu's power in the Monan and Hexi corridors, and the countries in the Western Regions were still controlled by the Xiongnu and still threatened the security of the Han's northwest border.In order to completely eradicate the Xiongnu forces, and also for the ambition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to expand the territory, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions again in the same year when he launched the third attack on the Xiongnu, with the purpose of trying to contact Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions to contain the Xiongnu.This time, the envoy team was huge, with 300 attachés, 10,000 cattle and sheep, and "tens of thousands" of coins and silk.But this time Zhang Qian still failed to achieve the expected goal, when they arrived in Wusun, it was because of the political instability of Wusun due to the struggle for the throne, and the domestic nobles were afraid of the Xiongnu, so the Western Han Dynasty's political purpose of forming an alliance with Wusun to attack the Xiongnu was once again frustrated......
However, during the Wusun period, Zhang Qian sent deputy envoys to Dawan, Kangju, Dayueshi, Daxia, Anxi, Shenfu, and Khotan countries in Central, West and South Asia to make extensive contacts.In 115 B.C., Zhang Qian returned to China, Wusun sent a guide to send an interpreter, and sent an envoy to Chang'an, witnessing the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and after returning to report, the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions was greatly improved.Soon, the deputy envoys sent by Zhang Qian also returned to China one after another, and brought back many envoys from the countries they visited.Since then, the traffic between China and the West has officially begun......
Chen Xuan: "And the trade and cultural exchange channel between the East and the West opened up by Zhang Qian is called the 'Silk Road'!"
This is also the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is called the first emperor to open up the Western Regions!
”Han Gaozu Liu Bang: "No wonder our descendants are said to be reckless, how much manpower, financial resources, and material resources do you have to spend like this?"
”Emperor Qin: "Although so, he succeeded, opened up the Silk Road, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and caused the Xiongnu to no longer exist, such an emperor, why not call it an emperor through the ages??"
