The most bloody dynasty in history
Many people think that the most bloody dynasty in Chinese history is the Han Dynasty, and the most bloodless is the Qing Dynasty.
Although throughout history, the Han Dynasty was not the most powerful dynasty, there was the Tang Dynasty above it, although the Qing Dynasty was not the weakest dynasty, and its former strength was incomparable to that of many dynasties, but if there is no blood, these two dynasties can occupy two extremes.
Let's talk about why these two countries occupy two extremes, first of all, when foreign powers attacked the city of Beijing, many qing dynasty people also led the way for the Eight-Power Alliance and served as a force to transport combat materials, and when they fought, they stood at a distance and watched the foreign invaders attack their own country, and they no longer had the feeling of blood, let alone the love of the country, and the Song Dynasty, when the military and the people were bent on fighting the Jin army, were much worse.
The bloodiness of the Han Dynasty people naturally needless to say, why the current bloody male children call themselves manly men or Hanzi, this Han has become synonymous with bloodiness, and now Chinese in the mouth of foreigners is Han or Tang, Chinese also called Chinese, which is inseparable from the international influence of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Huns rebelled on the border and plundered the villages and towns on the border.
Before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty suffered a lot, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the throne, he devoted all his strength to the Huns to pursue and fight fiercely, until the Huns no longer had the strength to fight back, and there was no longer any need to send innocent princesses to the distant desert and relatives in exchange for temporary peace.
When you look at the stories of Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing, Huo Fuyi and others who fought for the stability of their homeland in the southern and northern wars at a young age, they are often moved, and the bloodiness of the Han family boys' team has reached a historical peak. Whenever I think of the Han Dynasty, I will think of some bold words, Huo Fuyi once said: "The Xiongnu have not perished, why should they be at home?" Chen Tang, a famous general during the Han and Yuan Emperor periods, also said: "Those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished from afar." "Even the farthest enemy who offends the powerful Han Dynasty will be killed, which is the pride and self-confidence that the people of a big country should have."
Dawan became a strong man
Dawan is a small country in the western region, probably located along the Syr Darya River in Central Asia, which should be in the territory of Uzbekistan today, which can be said to be far away at that time. When you think of that place, everyone will think that it is rich in good horses, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other countries have good horses, as well as more famous sweat and blood BMWs.
In the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, there is a small Wan, Da Wan is not because it is so big, put on the world map I am afraid that not a fingernail is big, Zhang Qian once came here when he went to the Western Regions, according to the description when he returned, this country has more than seventy subordinates, with a population of hundreds of thousands. Such a scale is not very large, just find a unified dynasty in ancient times, and take out a state and county that is larger than it. At first, the country still admired the powerful Han Dynasty, but later it was a bit excessive.
Because of the war caused by horses
Dawan is a country that is quite a distance away from the Han Dynasty, if it is a little more disciplined, even if it does not pay tribute and be friendly, it may never clash with the Han Dynasty, but it prefers to test the bottom line and strength of the Han Dynasty with its own weak national strength.
As we mentioned earlier, Central Asia is a place where good colts and horses are produced, dawan has good horses, anti-fatigue, good endurance, fast running speed, the Han Dynasty as a powerful country, a military power will inevitably need more good horses and strong cavalry strength, just in time when the Han Dynasty was fighting with the Huns, the battlefield area is wide, the opponent is strong, so it is more necessary to be able to match the good horses of the Xiongnu, so that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty can confront the Huns.
Emperor Wudi of Han sent emissaries to Dawan with heavy gold to buy a good horse, and also cast a golden horse out of gold, emperor Wudi of Han was very generous, but the king of Dawan did not buy it, did not sell it to the Han Dynasty, and also killed the emissary, robbing all the valuables he had brought with him.
The Han Dynasty itself was militarily strong, and the reign of Emperor Wu of han, who was known for his strength at that time, naturally could not remain indifferent, because the emissary went out to represent a country, and beheading the emissary was equivalent to punching the country in the face. Emperor Wu of Han sent Li Guangli to lead a large army to conquer Dawan, but because the road was long, the transfer was very difficult, and the small countries along the way did not provide support.
Li Guangli only had a hard break, and when he fought hard one by one, he killed Dawan, and finally there were insufficient troops and materials, and Li Guangli had to withdraw his troops.
The second expedition of Emperor Wudi of Han made up his mind to attack Dawan, this conquest is simply the second battle of the north of the desert, Emperor Wudi of Han gathered the strength of the whole country, gathered elite soldiers and horses, recruited a large number of people to support the battle, and also recruited hundreds of thousands of livestock from all over the country for transportation, the momentum is huge, no country dares to stop, some small countries in the western region, the whole country does not have this Han army, where they dare to block.
As long as the Han army can reach Dawan with such strength, the victory is basically no suspense, the Han army won thousands of BMW horses and returned victoriously, although this expedition cost a lot, but also got a million profit effect, the Han Dynasty achieved a good horse, Dawan newly established a pro-Han king, since then the western countries have all been convinced, avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.
