Next is the background of the current Han Dynasty and Kushan, as well as what I described about King Yan Gaozhen and Ban Chao.
When I was refining my book review, I noticed that I might have forgotten to mention some history.
Let’s talk about the predecessor of Kushan first. Although there are three theories, they tend to be descendants of Yuezhi because this Han envoy has clear records. This is not important...
The important thing is Yan Gaozhen and Ban Chao. This incident happened in 90 AD, which was the time of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was always under attack, it was at its most prosperous era with a population approaching 60 million and acres of land.
Seven million hectares.
Of course, the above two are just the paper strength in the Han Dynasty. The next one is very important. About the previous year, the Han Dynasty achieved the most famous achievement in Chinese history - Yan Ran Le Gong, also known as
Legging Yanran from a stone and carving a Yanran stone were second only to Feng Langju Xu's military exploits in ancient times.
The reason why this military achievement is second only to Feng Langju Xu is not because his performance is not as good as Huo Qubing's, but because his starting point is wrong.
The person who achieved this feat is called Dou Xian. This guy would be very scary if he didn't have the reputation for what he did before. However, before Yan Ran took the credit, he first assassinated the empress dowager's lucky minister, and then framed the blame on Cai Lun, well, it was papermaking.
That guy was caught.
This kind of ill-intentioned approach must be killed. In order to avoid being killed, the Northern Huns happened to be jumping again at that time. Dou Xian decisively stated that he was going to fight the Huns. Emperor Zhang or Emperor He agreed. In fact, this
Goods are used to avoid disaster.
Because what he did at that time was too big, and he was probably going to be cut down when he returned, Dou Xian suddenly got mad and did a big job, chasing the Northern Huns for three thousand miles.
Original text of Hanshu:
1. Dou Xian, courtesy name Bodu, paid homage to the Chariot and Cavalry General. He fought with Bei Shanyu at Jiluo Mountain and was defeated. Xian then climbed Yanran Mountain and marched for more than three thousand miles to fortify the Han Dynasty. He carved stones to commemorate Han Dynasty's achievements and to commemorate his mighty virtue.
2 The king who had been beheaded had already reached the level of 13,000, and more than a million heads of horses, cattle, sheep, and camels were captured. So Wen Duxu, Ri Zhu, Wen Wu, Fuqu King Liu Tuan and other eighty-one people led the people to surrender, twenty before and after.
The remaining 10,000 people had the constitution, so they climbed Yanran Mountain and marched for more than 3,000 miles. They carved stones to commemorate the Han Dynasty's might and virtue, and ordered Ban Gu to write an inscription.
After doing this, Dou Xian went back. Naturally, the Empress Dowager was not able to kill him, and she still got 20,000 households of food, so as long as you can fight, it's actually no problem.
The next year after this year, it was King Yan Gaozhen's turn. Although Yan Gaozhen had a supporting role before, half of the people who were considered the founders of the country were inclined to King Yan Gaozhen.
The previous king was named Qiujiuche in the history of the Han Dynasty, and it was recorded in the history of the world that he was Gadphises I. This guy died in 75 AD. His significance lies in the Kingdom of Bactria, which is the so-called Kingdom of Greece in Central Asia.
When they were destroyed, they led the Kushan people out, and their achievements were in coordinating the chaotic religious, cultural and ethnic conflicts in Central Asia.
After Yan Gaozhen came up, he was beaten and beaten. This Yan Gaozhen was called Salter Mags (the natural savior). After that, the new king inherited Yan Gaozhen's name, so it was also Yan Gaozhen, but in fact there were two kings. During their reign,
They were 80~105 and 105~127 respectively. What Ban Chao did was the so-called savior...
The reason has been mentioned before, it is actually about marrying the princess...
The original text of Han History: In the early days, the Yuezhi tried to help the Han chariot commander with meritorious service. At that time, he paid tribute to the treasure, Fu Ba, and his son, because he asked for the Han princess. Chao refused to return her envoy, so he was resentful.
In fact, there is also a reason for this. In the same year, Yan Ran was trying to conquer the throne, and the Han Dynasty was in a state of rage. It was reasonable to refuse, but Kushan had already risen at that time, decisively refused to accept it, and started a war...
The original text of Han History: In the second year of Yongyuan, the Yuezhi sent his deputy king Xie General with 70,000 troops to attack Chao. Chao was so small that they were all afraid. Chao's sergeant said: "Although the Yueshi's soldiers are numerous, they can be led by thousands of miles away."
, Unless there is transportation, why worry about evil? But if we harvest the grain and hold on, the hunger and poverty will subside, and we will be defeated in just a few dozen days."
Qiuci asked for help, so he sent hundreds of troops to the eastern border to ask for it. Xie Guo sent his cavalry to bribe Qiuci with gold, silver, pearls and jade. He ambushed the common people, killed them all, and took their heads as a token of thanks. Xie Guo was shocked.
He sent an envoy to plead guilty and hoped to return alive. He sent him Chaozong. The Yuezhi family was greatly affected by the earthquake, and they made contributions every year.
Attached is another record: In the first year of Emperor Yongyuan, General Dou Xian defeated the Xiongnu. In the second year, Xianyin sent his deputy captain Yanpan to attack Yiwu with more than 2,000 cavalry and defeated it. In the third year, Ban Chao succeeded.
He settled in the Western Regions, and because he took Chao as the protector, he settled in Qiuci... Six years later, Ban Chao defeated Yanqi again, and more than fifty countries accepted Zhi Nei's vassal. His branches, Anxi's countries, as far as 40,000 miles away from the sea, all
Retranslation contribution.
That is to say, three years after Yanran Stone was carved, the entire Western Region actually knelt down. By six years, Anxi and Tiaozhi in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia also knelt down. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually very powerful at that time...
That’s it. This is the complete background of the last Eurasian war. It is also the information that Anxi, Kushan, and the Han Dynasty can refer to. It has a great influence on the small countries of Kushan, Central Asia, and West Asia.
