"The Last Transfer of the Tang Dynasty Mobei" is on fire, this short film narrates the story of a displaced person from greed for money to the end of the death of the military expenses in the sixteen minutes of the explosion, the story of the film itself is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than the displaced people after a series of psychological struggles, choose to stick to their own inner righteousness, and hand over the money they have hidden, which also fully reflects the theme of Cloud Payment".
This film strives to show us a kind of "lonely courage", which is the source of strength of the Chinese nation that has been standing in the forest of nations for five thousand years.
In Many of China's historical films about the Tang Dynasty, many of them praise how the Tang Dynasty prospered economically, how the military came first, or how the nations came to the Tang Dynasty, etc., but few people filmed the western warriors who died in foreign lands for the Tang Dynasty, and this film made a good start.
The old soldiers in the film do have prototypes in history, that is, the Tang Army soldiers who have been alone in the western region for decades, and they have changed from a green silk to a white hair.
In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the Tang Dynasty dispatched elite troops from the northwest to quell the rebellion, leaving only 30,000 troops to garrison the western region, Tubo took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the Hexi region, first capturing the Jiuqu land in Hexi, then capturing lan, He, Du, tao and other prefectures in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (763 AD), and Yongtai ii (766 AD) to capture the important towns of Ganzhou and Suzhou in Hexi.
The fall of Hexi and Longyou plunged the Tang Dynasty's position in the Western Regions into turmoil. The western region was empty, and Tubo had already coveted this treasure land, so when the Tang Dynasty was weak, it sent troops to seize it. The soldiers of the Western Regions who remained were trapped in the isolated city in this situation of lack of internal supplies and no external reinforcements and news.
The background of this film is 35 years after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, that is, in 790, when the Central Plains Dynasty has entered the Tang Dezong period, and the two major capitals of Anxi and Beiting at this time have been isolated from the interior for 25 years, and the only western regions that once spread throughout the Tang army are Guizi and Xizhou. The military expenses for the transport took place between the two cities, and only a year later, the Western State fell. This is the meaning of "last transfer".
The 22,000 Tang soldiers left behind in the Western Regions of Anxi Capital Protectorate began in 763 AD when Tubo attacked Gansu and was isolated from the Tang Dynasty mainland, until 808 AD when the Tubo army attacked the important town of Guizi in the Anxi Capital Protectorate, and finally killed the last person. Isolated from the Tang Dynasty, with no reinforcements from outside and no grain and grass inside, they persisted for half a century, and they were the most tragic epic of the Central Plains Dynasty's management of the Western Regions. In 790 in the film, the North Court fell, and it has been 27 years.
However, even if all the Protectorates of the Western Regions fell, there were still many Tang Dynasty remnants who held on to the land under their feet with a sense of faith, because at their feet was the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the people, there was Zhang Yichao's Gui rebel army, which ruled The Eleven Prefectures of Hexi at its peak, and later under the suppression of strong enemies, mainly used Shazhou and Guazhou as its main strongholds.
During their reign, they all practiced the Tang system, using the Tang Dynasty name, and even minting Tang coins. At the time of the opening, the Tang envoys made contact with the Western Regions, and the history books recorded: "Seeing the cities of Gan, Liang, Gua, and Sha as they were, the trapped people saw the Tang envoys' Festival, and greeted them with weeping: 'Does the emperor still remember the trapped beings?' All of them are the descendants of the Tubo who have fallen into the Heavenly Treasure, and their language is small, but their clothes have not changed."
A sentence of "Does the emperor still think of trapping the living beings?" The tao exhausted the heartache of the descendants of the Tang army generals trapped in this enclave, not because they were trapped here, but because they were helpless to "when will there really be six armies coming".
Under extremely difficult circumstances, the defenders of the Western Regions did not live up to the glory of the Tang soldiers and still won several victories. According to the "Tablets of the Nine Uighur Khans", which records the history of the Uighurs, the Tang army once severely damaged the Tubo army with the cooperation of the Uighur army. Anxi and Beiting have held out alone for decades, and such victories must have been won more than once.
However, in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang (790 AD), the Tubo army, together with The Grolu and the Baifu Turks, attacked again, and the Northern Court finally fell. After the fall of the Northern Garden, the Only Passage for the Tang Western Regions to reach Chang'an by the Uighurs was completely cut off, and the Defenders of the Tang Western Regions were divided and surrounded in the isolated cities of Anxi and Xizhou, and could not rescue each other.
Later history also proves that the Gui rebel army did not wait for the Tang division to come to reorganize, they were established from the tang dynasty until the early years of the Song Dynasty were destroyed by the Shazhou Uighurs, of which a total of 185 years, through the entire five generations of ten kingdoms, this period of history is likely to be outdated in the history books, but there are too many stories to sing and cry, just how the rebel army was surrounded by strong enemies is worth making a TV series.
There has never been a shortage of patriotic people in China's history, and although they are humble and the history books do not despise recording their names, they still treat their motherland with their loyalty and sincerity, and the protagonist of the film, Lu XIV, is such a small person. After his stronghold was breached, he became a displaced person in order to survive, and finally under the spiritual infection of the veteran, he retook on his own responsibility, the responsibility of a soldier. So he spared no effort to transport the military expenses, and it was not bad at all.
"General, do you say that Chang'an is far away from here, or is the sun far away?"
"Of course it's the sun, I've only heard of people coming from Chang'an, never heard of anyone coming from the sun."
"Then why, look up at the sun, but don't see Chang'an?"
"You and I are Chang'an."
They are Chang'an, and they make us long-term peace and stability.
