introduction
The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have existed in China for thousands of years. As we all know, Taoism is a native sect bred in the land of China, while Buddhism is a foreign sect from India.
Although Buddhism has been introduced to the land of China as early as the Han Dynasty, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. In the Tale of the Western Regions, there is: "The people have a little worship of the Buddha, and then they become prosperous" Buddhism has gradually developed in China. In order to realize the true meaning of the Buddhist family, Master Xuanzang, a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, trekked to India to seek the true scriptures. During xuanzang's period in Tianzhu, he recorded a lot about the customs and customs of ancient India.
According to the notes left by Xuanzang, the Tang generals created many myths in foreign lands. History is like a turbulent undercurrent, how much historical past is hidden under the waves?
First, the great hero Wang Xuance sent an envoy to the Foreign countries to build Qigong
More than a thousand years ago, there was a Tang Dynasty warrior who single-handedly destroyed a country. There is no story about him in film and television dramas, and if it were not for a stone stele unearthed in Tibet, we would be doomed to find it difficult to know his legendary past. This great hero is the tang dynasty figure, Wang Xuance. In Tibet, there was a huge discovery, unearthed a stone stele with amazing content, experts: it turns out that this person really exists!
Wang Xuance was born in Luoyang and had xiongzhi when he was young. Wang Xuance was a famous diplomat and politician in the history of the Tang Dynasty. At first, Wang Xuance was just an unknown petty official in the Tang Dynasty court. In 641 AD, Tianzhu sent emissaries to the Tang Dynasty to meet and learn the excellent culture of the Tang Dynasty. This is a rare official exchange in the history of China and India. In 643, Wang Xuance sent an envoy to India as a deputy envoy. Wang Xuance, who had no background, could only regard the foreign mission as an opportunity to make meritorious achievements. Soon after the mission arrived in India, the envoy fell into a foreign land because of the disobedience of the water and soil. Tianzhu is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. In this way, Wang Xuance became the sole leader of the mission. At that time, Wang Xuance could never have imagined that a crisis swept over him and the mission.
Second, the fragmented ancient India, the turbulent past of the Middle Heavenly Zhu Kingdom
India has always been a divided country that was not barely unified until modern times. At that time, there were many countries in that land. During the Middle Ages, the country was divided into five regions, with a total of three large countries. Of the three powers, the "Middle Heavenly Kingdom", which occupies the central region of present-day India, is the most powerful. In 647 AD, the tianzhu countries attacked each other. The delegation led by Wang Xuance was going to visit the country of Zhongtianzhu. There was a widespread upheaval in the Middle Heavenly Zhu Kingdom. In this turmoil, the Tang Mission, like a pond fish, suffered the disaster of innocence. There was a Zhongtian Zhu courtier who killed the monarch through the military power he held and his dependents. After this official gained real power, he went on a killing spree against our mission.
The Tang mission suffered heavy casualties, and only Wang Xuance survived. Under the desperate protection of the people of the mission, Wang Xuance was able to save his life. Wang Xuance, who escaped from heaven, ran wildly all the way, and only when he reached Tubo did he dare to stop. Wang Xuance originally wanted to rest in Tubo for a while, so he returned to the Tang Dynasty and asked the Emperor to be the emperor. After Wang Xuance calmed down, he changed his mind again. Wang Xuance thought to himself, if he ran back in ashes, the loss of his official position would be a trivial matter, and how would the great vengeance of the mission be avenged? How to wash away the shame?
Third, the mission was suddenly in great trouble, and he was alone and determined to take revenge
Even if the emperor was determined to take revenge, after a year or two, the army would definitely not be able to reach Tianzhu. During this time, Tianzhu Guo was not sure what would happen. After careful consideration, Wang Xuance decided that he would never return to China if he did not repay the great revenge! With the support of this belief, Wang Xuance regained his courage. Because of the location in Tubo, Wang Xuance obviously could not wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Wang Xuance decided to borrow troops from Tubo and other servant states in the name of the Tang Dynasty! At that time, Datang was the center of cultural exchange. After the news of Wang Xuance's recruitment came out, the vassal states, including Tubo, sent soldiers and horses to support Wang Xuance. After some integration training, Wang Xuance was able to recruit more than 10,000 strong soldiers. Under the training of Wang Xuance, this unit initially had combat capability. Just as the so-called soldiers were fast, Wang Xuance immediately made a decision and launched an attack on the Zhongtian Zhu Kingdom.
The sudden appearance of Wang Xuance and his generals caught the Zhongtian Zhu monarchs by surprise. The legion led by Wang Xuance easily broke through the capital of the Zhongtianzhu state and captured its king, Alona Shun. After this, Wang Xuance escorted Alona Shun, his wives, concubines, children, and civil and military officials to Chang'an. Wang Xuance was a man of great wisdom and sent envoys to India three times in his lifetime.
epilogue
Although Wang Xuance has long gone, the courageous spirit he represents will always exist. Scholars have a lot of controversy about him, and some people think that Wang Xuance is a fictional image that only exists in the history books. If it were not for the excavation of the stone stele recording the life of Wang Xuance, the great hero who destroyed a country by one person would not be known to ordinary people. It was with people like Wang Xuance that Datang was able to conquer the surrounding countries. The great deeds of Wang Xuance will surely be passed on forever.
