In the long history of China, it is generally believed that the military of the Tang Dynasty is the most similar to the Han Dynasty, and compared with the weakness of the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can cope with the surrounding minority regimes and foreign military challenges like the Han Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty can only be destroyed by the surrounding minority regimes many times!
The Tang Dynasty was militarily powerful similar to the Han Dynasty and far superior to the Song Dynasty
There are many cases of good war in history, among which the Tang Dynasty's several wars with less victories reflect the combat effectiveness of the contemporary Tang Dynasty army is still relatively considerable, the following sort out a few cases of war with less victory, introduce the impact of war on future generations.
Battle of Baijiangkou
。 This was a time between the Tang Dynasty of China and Japan (then called the Uighur Kingdom, for the convenience of understanding the following collectively referred to as Japan. The cause of the war between them is the struggle for the initiative of the Korean vassal state that everyone is already familiar with! Japan wanted to control the entire Korean Peninsula, which in turn could "develop" towards the Chinese mainland, and the Tang Dynasty wanted to control the Korean Peninsula to resist Japanese aggression, so the Battle of Baekjeongkou broke out.
If Japan wants to develop on the mainland, it must first annex the Korean Peninsula
The place of war was in a port on the west coast of today's South Korea.
The Tang Dynasty joined forces with the small Silla state at that time to fight against Japan, and Japan and the small baekje state at that time joined forces against the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army was only 13,000 people, and the Japanese army had 42,000 people! The warships were several times larger than those of the Tang Army.
Due to the proper command of the Tang Army, through four battles, a great victory over the Japanese army with many ships, Japan withdrew from the Korean Peninsula and admired China spiritually, and did not invade China again for about 1,000 years! It was left to the descendants of the descendants to develop and progress, and it was not until the Wanli Korean War of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Korean War of the Qing Dynasty that the aggressive intentions against China were restored.
The Tang army surrendered to Japan spiritually with fewer victories and more victories, and Japan did not attack China for nearly a thousand years
Battle of The Ross.
The Battle of Qiluo took place in central Asia in the region west of Xinjiang in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when the black-clad empire rose rapidly, coinciding with the tang dynasty's strength, so the expansion of the two sides was caused by small vassal states! In the place west of the Onion Ridge, the number of people in the Tang Dynasty was very small, about 30,000, and the number of black-clad eating empires was large, estimated to be more than 100,000!
The rapidly expanding black-clad army encountered Tang garrisons in present-day western Xinjiang
At the beginning, the Tang army attacked fiercely and won, but it could not completely conquer the other side.
A few days later, the Tang army was affected by the rebel forces and had to withdraw, and neither side took further offensive action. After this battle, the Tang Dynasty realized that there was still a large-scale military force in the West! Therefore, the military preparations in the western region were strengthened, which made a good start for the prosperity and stability of the Xinjiang region in later generations, thus strengthening the sense of stability in the western region in the Chinese.
The Tang army reached peace with a small amount of military strength with an army of 100,000 black-clad people
Tang Dynasty Tubo War.
The war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo can be traced back to the early years of the tang dynasty, when the tubo state greatly increased in strength under the administration of Songzan Gampo, and sent envoys to ask the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess to him, the Tang Dynasty arrogantly ignored it, so Songzan Gampo launched an army of 100,000 to attack the Tang Dynasty's vassal state tuguhun, the Tang Dynasty quickly sent 50,000 troops to meet the battle, defeated Tubo, so Tubo began to fear the Tang army and retreated.
The Tang Dynasty was proud and led to war with Tibet
The Tubo chiefs again sent envoys to ask for a princess to marry him, so this time Tang Taizong Li Shimin agreed, and really married the daughter of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng, to him, thus beginning the beginning of friendly relations between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
The Tang Dynasty imitated the Han Dynasty and agreed to the in-laws, and the feelings of the Han and Tibetan nationalities deepened day by day
After this war, although there were some small-scale conflicts between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet,
However, the two sides still have some mutual attraction, and in later generations, they are integrated due to mutual understanding, which is of great benefit to China's future stability of the western border, and also wins valuable peace time for China's future development and progress.
After the Han-Tibetan family, the two sides have become one
Through the analysis of these wars in the Tang Dynasty, which won more with less, it enlightened the importance of the army's excellence and high-quality development, and prevented any military errors from disrupting the strategic deployment of the strategy, which is forward-looking thinking.
