Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and reigned
Fifty-four years
，
He died on December 30, 2012 at the age of 7
。 These two records surpassed all his predecessors, and it was even a long time before someone caught up with him.
Emperor
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, both political, economic, military, and cultural flourished. territory and sphere of influence,
Bordered by Korea in the east, Xinjiang in the west, Vietnam in the south, and Mongolia in the north, it can be called a super empire.
The Zizhi Tongjian truthfully records the sealing ceremony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (110 BC).
180,000 cavalry warriors holding thousands of flags (the large-scale production of the 18,000-mile march) is not only a symbol of national strength, but also the proud capital of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Map of the Western Han Dynasty
What everyone does not know is that as early as ten years ago, the huge imperial territory of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty had laid the foundation.
In the early Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu controlled the entire western region, and they constantly invaded the Central Plains, burning and looting without evil.
The friction between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains in the early Han Dynasty has not stopped, and this situation has continued
Hundreds of years
。 It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the situation in which we Han people were bullied by the Xiongnu was broken.
The Xiongnu invaded the western Han border
In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (119 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carried out a comprehensive reform of the economic system of the Han Dynasty, sending the generals Wei Qing and Huo to attack Northern Mobei, and making him the Grand Sima as a general and a hussar general.
It can be seen from this that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty placed deep expectations on these two people.
Wei Qing and Huo Went ill did not fail in their mission, and the battle was a complete victory. The joy of victory inspired all the generals of the army, so Huo Wentai personally took advantage of the victory to pursue and personally led the army to the Wolf Juxu Mountain.
The Han army held a solemn ceremony to sacrifice the heavens here, and held a Zen ceremony at Mount Guyan, leaving the military generals with the supreme glory of "sealing the wolf and living in Xu".
After this battle, "the Xiongnu were far away, and the southern desert had no royal court."
Two of the Xiongnu tribes that had been controlling the Hexi Corridor, the Hun Evil King and the Hu Tu King tribe, were surrendered to the Han Dynasty after the war.
Emperor Wu of Han was very happy, and directly ordered that the two Xiongnu kings be brought to the territory of the Han Dynasty, let them come to live in the Han Dynasty, and better control them by Sinicizing the Xiongnu.
Emperor Wu of Han gave many rewards to the surrendered Xiongnu king, and in order to show the style of the great power, he even had to recruit 20,000 vehicles to pick up the Hun Evil King.
However, the requisition of cars cost silver, and the local officials not only did not have the funds allocated by the imperial court, but could not disobey the orders of the emperor, so they could only buy the horses needed from the common people on credit.
However, the common people were very worried about the officials taking it for free, and in order to avoid the loss of property, they hid the horses raised in their families, which led to the officials not completing the tasks assigned by Emperor Wu of han on time.
Emperor Wu of Han was very angry and immediately ordered the execution of the officials who had not completed their tasks. At this critical juncture,
Dark
I couldn't look at it anymore, because these officials were speaking out in righteousness, so Emperor Wudi of Han did not blame them anymore.
The Fu Xiongnu attacked Lu Sai, and the Chinese raised troops to attack them, and the casualties were incalculable, and the cost was huge. The courtiers think that His Majesty has received the Hu people, and all think that they are slaves, and give them to the families of the dead in the army; and they are captured, because of them, to thank the world and the hearts of the people.
The Hun Evil King and the King of Hu Tu led the tribe to Chang'an, and the merchants caught a glimpse of business opportunity from the large crowd.
As we all know, the Huns are nomadic people, mainly relying on herding to survive, and at present, these two tribes have submitted to the Han and must have brought a lot of cattle and sheep.
In the society at that time, cattle, sheep and horses were very important property of the people and even the country, and because of the terrain, there was no vast grassland in the Central Plains to graze. thereupon
The vendors are on and off
The Huns made a deal.
As the saying goes: lust for profit smokes the heart and blinds people.
Sure enough, among these merchants who traded with the Hun tribes, there was
Mixed with iron trading.
Iron artifacts excavated from the Western Han Dynasty
The most fundamental reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to reverse the situation of being oppressed by the Huns was this
The Han Dynasty focused on production, and its level of development far exceeded that of the Xiongnu tribes of the same era.
The Xiongnu tribes were still carrying out the primitive slash-and-burn method, and naturally tended to lose in this long-winded struggle.
Emperor Wudi of han was well aware of the strong fighting power of the Huns, and if there was the blessing of weapons, the Baoqi Xiongnu would make a comeback again, then there would be more soldiers who would shed blood and sacrifice, and the people would be displaced.
For the sake of the country's longevity, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered that the circulation of iron to the Xiongnu was prohibited.
But there are still some people who are blinded by lust and ignore the law.
Emperor Wudi of Han, who learned of this, ordered the execution of all the merchants sold to the Xiongnu and increased the reward for the Xiongnu, and only afterwards did he understand how clever Emperor Wudi's move was!
There are a lot of people who don't understand
Why did Emperor Wu of Han show mercy to the Huns who surrendered
, even makes people look a little excessive. It has to be said that Emperor Wudi of han was a very far-sighted emperor.
The short victory of the war could only bring temporary peace and contentment to the people, and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty used unreasonable rewards to consume the pride of the Huns.
Let them come to the Central Plains to enjoy a comfortable life, fundamentally crush their hearts is the real sense of conquering the Xiongnu, so that the people of the Central Plains can obtain a stable life for a long time.
Chen Baoguo plays Emperor Wu of Han
Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty looked at the development of things with a long-term vision, and this strategy was quite wise even in the current life. Don't panic when things happen, don't just look at the surface when you see people and things, but look at it long enough to go more steadily.
