Zhang Qian looked to the south
The Han Dynasty, especially the Han Dynasty, was the most blood-boiling time for the Chinese nation, and the two immortal military geniuses of Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi helped the Han Empire get rid of the shame of peace and affinity, defeated the invincible Mao Dun Shan Yu, and made it impossible for the Hu people to go south to the Yin Mountains and herd horses. In the field of diplomacy and culture, BowangHou Zhang Qian is undoubtedly the most important one, without Zhang Qian, our culture and history will be rewritten.
Zhang Qian, as a hot-blooded young man of the Han Dynasty, won the appreciation of Emperor Wu of Han with his outstanding eloquence and leadership ability, and led hundreds of Han boys to the unknown western region. They have no fear of the vast desert, they have to fight for the tomorrow of the Great Han Dynasty, to establish immortal deeds, even if the ma ge shroud is not spared.
Zhang Qian and his party set off west
In the second year of Jianyuan, Zhang Qian and his party left Chang'an, at this time he was only 24 years old, and he was the most gentle and beautiful young man in Chang'an City. However, Heaven will not make it too easy for him to succeed, and is destined to use tribulations to highlight his genius, to wash away the frivolity of his youth with years, and to record his great legend with a monument. In the winter of that year, they unfortunately encountered the Xiongnu troops, and the entire mission except Zhang Qian and Father Gan was destroyed, and Zhang Qian helplessly became a prisoner, and how painful he should be at this time. Perhaps, in the dead of night, he thought about committing suicide, and perhaps in the song of Hu Ge Pipa, he was bleeding and crying inside. For the sake of the mission, for the sake of the nation and the king's entrustment, he chose to bear the burden of humiliation and wait for the opportunity to continue to complete the mission.
If you don't think about it, this wait is ten years. In order to survive, and in order to reassure the Huns, he learned the Hun language, lived like ordinary Huns, and married a Hun wife and had a mixed-race baby. Life was as calm as water, and he herded horses and sheep like other Hun men, and after a long time, the Huns almost forgot that he was a Han Chinese.
The opportunity finally came, in the sixth year of YuanGuang, Zhang Qian and Gan Father took advantage of the internal turmoil of the Xiongnu and fled overnight and left the Xiongnu territory. At this moment, he was not a good husband, nor a good father, and even deserved the title of "scumbag", and his haired wife and children were ruthlessly abandoned by him, and their mother and son endured the vicious eyes and difficult life around them in the Huns.
The vast Gobi
After regaining their freedom after nine deaths, ordinary people must choose to return to the embrace of the motherland and their families and start a happy life again. If Mr. Zhang Qian did this, then the time for the Western Regions to belong to the territory of China would be far away, and history would be rewritten.
The money is gone, the meeting gift is gone, and the team is gone, but as long as Zhang Qian is there, everything is hopeful, miracles can happen, and he must have beaten himself countless times in his heart. Maybe only paranoids can really change the world because they are fearless, because they don't care about gains and losses, because they are firmly persistent. Ten years have added a little gray hair and vicissitudes to the beautiful young man, but he has never forgotten the mission of the country and the entrustment of the king. He and Gan Father set out west again, crossing grasslands, Gobi, mountains, and lakes, and finally found the legendary Ōtsuki clan. The Ōtsuki people were once brutally persecuted by the Huns, and the head of the old king was even used as a wine jug by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the Ōtsuki who fled west was lucky enough to encounter a new home full of water and grass, and since then they have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and gradually forgotten the shame of their ancestors and the hatred for the Huns. When Zhang Qian wanted to persuade the king of the Great Moon Clan to cooperate with the Great Han to fight the Xiongnu together, the king, although he was well-served with good wine and good meat to entertain the envoys of the East, did not say anything about cooperation, perhaps he did not want the people of the Great Moon Clan to recall the history of humiliation and pain, or perhaps he did not want his people to be involved in the war again. Zhang Qian stayed in the Dayue clan for a year, and the king never agreed to cooperate with the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu, and in desperation, Zhang Qian could only choose to leave, and after bidding farewell to the king of the Dayue clan, they embarked on the way home.
Zhang Qian went on a mission route
History once again made a joke with him. On the way back, Zhang Qian, in order to avoid the Xiongnu-controlled areas, made a special detour south from the Qiang region, however, in the more than a year after he left the Xiongnu for the Western Regions, the Qiang people were also conquered by the Xiongnu and became vassals, and Zhang Qian and GanFu were captured again. At this moment, I don't know whether Zhang Qian is laughing or crying, he may be cursing the heavens, why is it so unfair, why the way home is so difficult. There is no doubt that this time they were captured, Zhang Qian and Gan Father enjoyed not the beauty of wine, but the double torture of body and mind. In the hearts of the Huns, I treat you like a brother and marry you a wife, but you are wolf-hearted and trying to subvert our regime, which is an unforgivable act of betrayal.
Luck will not be late, and Heaven will not disappoint a wanderer who is obsessed. A year later, there was serious civil unrest among the Xiongnu tribes, and Zhang Qian took advantage of the chaos to flee the Xiongnu. This time he took not only Gan Father, but also his wife and children, and once again fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband and father, he thanked his wife for his inseparability, guilty of his wife and children for his sins, and at this moment he truly regarded the wife who had been given to him as his wife. This time, no matter how hard it was, he would not abandon them. There were no horses, no cattle and sheep, food shortages, through the vast grasslands and The Gobi, along the rolling Yellow River all the way to the east, wind and food camp. Materially, they are undoubtedly scarce, but spiritually, Zhang Qian is incomparably full, he did not live up to the king's trust, he successfully arrived in the Western Regions, he finally had the opportunity to reunite with the King, unveiling the mysteries of the Western Regions.
The veil of the mystery of the Western Regions
Emperor Wu of Han, who was so talented and mighty, heard Zhang Qian's retelling of the Western Regions and the life of the Xiongnu, and how excited he was, Zhang Qian was his living map of conquest of the four directions. After the return of the dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Zhang Qian the Grand Master of Taizhong and granted Gan Father the title of "Envoy Jun". In the later Han-Hungarian War, Zhang Qian traveled with the army and cooperated with Wei Qing, Huo Zhiyi, Li Guang, and others to find the Xiongnu army in the vast grasslands. With his outstanding military achievements, Zhang Qian was named "Marquis of Bowang", ranked ninth secretary, and was about to retire with glory.
Fate once again made a joke, when Zhang Qian and Li Guang formed a team for the second time to attack the Xiongnu, Zhang Qian of the living map actually got lost, and Emperor Wu of Han, who attached equal importance to Enwei, naturally dismissed Zhang Qian from his title, and the history books recorded, "In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, because of the attack on the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, the late aid to the general Li Guang, Li Guangsuo led four thousand casualties, and he lost his knighthood for his crime, and the Marquis of Bowang was removed." The depressed Zhang Qian passed away two years later, and also left countless legendary stories for future generations.
Heroic big man
Without Zhang Qian, our food would not be so hearty. Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge. Zhang Qian brought back not only grapes from the Western Regions, but also cucumbers, sesame seeds, garlic, watermelon, etc., which greatly enriched our recipes.
Without Zhang Qian, our culture would be a big piece of mutilation. Wang Changling sang that "Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and does not break the Loulan and will not return it." Wang Wei sighed, "Persuade jun to make a glass of wine, and there is no reason for the west to go out of Yangguan." "Without Zhang Qian, Tang Shi would not have been so desolate and tragic.
Without Zhang Qian, our history would have been rewritten. The western region states and the Han Dynasty were connected by the Hexi Corridor, not Zhang Qian out of the plug, not he opened the western region road, the "Silk Road" may appear many years later, not to mention the establishment of the Western Regions Capital Protectorate.
Without Zhang Qian, our national spirit would not have been so tenacious and indomitable, and our culture would not have continued for thousands of years. In 36 BC, under the guidance of Zhang Qian's spirit, the Han army crossed the Pamir Plateau to reach the city of Zhizhi and defeated the Xiongnu. In their reports to the imperial court, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang even shouted out that "those who commit crimes against the strong will be punished from afar," which has inspired each and every one of us to overcome all pressures and challenges at the critical moment of national rejuvenation.
Although the arrogance of the far will be cursed
