I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 254 Today I'm going to talk about "Big Man"... (subscribe)
It's a joke of course.

How could Chen Fan be such a person.

No matter how much such funds are, Chen Fan dare not share them.

Say.

Having just awarded a sum of 1 million yuan, Chen Fan suddenly felt like a local tyrant, indescribably rich.

and so.

For the moment, Chen Fan doesn't have much thought about money.

Furthermore.

Chen Fan also really wanted to find the Sanxingdui Ruins, to shock everyone.

With Professor Zhou leading a group of people, he felt much more relaxed.

and so.

After chatting with Professor Zhou, Chen Fan handed over the search for Sanxingdui to Professor Zhou.

As for Chen Fan himself, of course he is very busy.

He had already thought about it before, after finishing his trip to Shu, he would go to Xinjiang Province.

Yes.

If you want to talk about the beauty of China, you will not know how beautiful China is if you don’t go to Xinjiang Province.

If you want to say that China is big, you don't know how big China is unless you go to Xinjiang.

As for how big it is.

That is, a Xinjiang province is equivalent to the Central Plains Province, Shandong Province, Kyoto Province, Wu Province, Hunan Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Zhejiang Province...etc. The combined area of ​​13 regions is even larger.If you choose to take the train, then, after you have been on the train for a long time, you will find that you have not left Xinjiang.

But this time when Chen Fan went to Xinjiang Province, he didn't take a plane or a train, but took a self-driving tour.

The purpose of self-driving is, of course, to enjoy the scenery along the way in Xinjiang Province.

You can almost say.

If you come to Xinjiang Province, you can experience the beauty of all regions of China in this one place.

even.

And more than that.

Here there is the Tulufan Aiding Lake depression, which is 155 meters below sea level, and the Kunlun Mountains, which is the second highest peak in the world at more than 8000 meters.

There is not only the Yardang landform blown by thousands of years of wind and sand, but also the tranquil and rich pastoral scenery of the Yili River Valley.

You can see the rippling Ulungu Lake and the largest Taklimakan Desert in China.

So.

Chen Fan, who went to Xinjiang Province for the first time, was greatly taken aback by the beauty of Xinjiang Province.

This also made Chen Fan linger for a while, intoxicated by it.

……

"Brother Fan, it seems that the ancient Shu archaeological team has been formed, and you are still the team leader. Why are you not in Shu, why did you go to Xinjiang?"

"Oh, is it formed?"

"You do not know?"

"Ah...of course I know."

While driving the car, Chen Fan put his mobile phone on the bracket, and a video came while driving.

indeed.

The beauty of Xinjiang Province not only surprised Chen Fan, but also shocked all the fans.

but.

During Chen Fan's live broadcast, some fans also mentioned to Chen Fan about the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Chen Fan didn't pay much attention to the problems at Sanxingdui.

Anyway, as long as you haven't found it, you don't need Chen Fan to do anything.

He can travel here to his heart's content.

"Then why are you still traveling?"

"You guys, the pattern is low."

Chen Fan said with a smile: "As the team leader, do I still have to dig the ground and move bricks like ordinary archaeologists?"

"Uh, even if you don't want it, you should go to Sichuan. What are you doing in Xinjiang Province?"

"Now that technology is so advanced, I have been commanding remotely."

"Also commanding remotely, Brother Fan, you are too good at being a hands-off shopkeeper."

"What's the shopkeeper? Archeology is not about driving an excavator, but just shoveling the dirt. It needs a lot of investigation, research by scientists, countless certifications, perseverance, and unwavering confidence..."

"Okay, Brother Fan, you are so right, don't say it in the future."

"puff……"

Chen Fan was also amused by these guys: "Well, to be honest, in fact, the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom are really not that easy to find. I have already made a search plan. In addition, Dongfang TV found me and said They want me to do a program about the Han Dynasty."

"Han Dynasty?"

"Correct."

"Aren't the capitals of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an and Luoyang? What are you doing in Xinjiang Province?"

"Of course I'm going to Xinjiang Province."

Chen Fan nodded: "This is the place where big men show their majesty."

"Brother Fan, are you talking about the big man taking back the Western Regions?"

"You can say that, but it's not just that simple."

Chen Fan said: "The Western Regions were not yet under the rule of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, the territory of the Han Dynasty was relatively small. Even when the Han Dynasty was first established, it has always suffered from the Huns in the north. At the same time, many countries in the Western Regions have also been subject to the Xiongnu. In order to deal with the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a man named Zhang Qian to a country called Da Yuezhi in the Western Regions."

"The country of the Great Yuezhi?"

This is the first time for many people to hear about this country called Da Yuezhi.

For the Han Dynasty.

Although they knew that the Han Dynasty was very powerful and regained the Western Regions.

But they are not very clear about how to regain the Western Regions.

Not only are they not very clear, they are also not very clear about the situation on the Western Region side.

What Chen Fan is going to talk about today, in addition to talking about the Han Dynasty, will also focus on the Western Regions.

"The Great Yuezhi is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. In addition to the Great Yuezhi, the Western Regions also have Kucha, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, Jingjue, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Mi, Qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Shache, Shule, Weitou, Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, Wutanzi, Beilu Houguo, Shanhuan, Pulei, Pulei Houguo, Xiqimi, Jieguo, Huhu, Shanguo, Cheshiqianguo, Cheshihouguo, Cheshiweiduguo, Cheshihouchengguo, etc. In addition, there are Wusun, Dawan, Anxi, Kangju, Haohan, Kanjuti, Wuyishanli, etc..."

of course.

Said to be 36 countries in the Western Regions.

But later the 36 countries became more than 50 countries after years of fighting.

Da Yuezhi was one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

"Fuck me, there are so many countries in the Western Regions."

"Loulan, Jingjue, Wusun... I seem to have heard of these, but I don't have much impression of others."

"Sister, it's over, I was attracted by Brother Fan all of a sudden."

have to say.

For those who don't have much idea of ​​the Western Regions, the 36 countries in the Western Regions mentioned by Chen Fan immediately attracted everyone's interest.

after all.

They feel that the Western Regions have some mysteries.

In many cases, they only know the name of the Western Regions.

But what happened in the Western Regions, they don't know.

At this time Chen Fan said.

Just like hunting for novelty, the mysterious veil of the Western Regions was slowly unveiled, which moved their hearts.

"Because the Dayue Clan and the Xiongnu were feuds, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to unite with the Dayue Clan to deal with the Huns. However, before Zhang Qian came to the place of the Dayue Clan, he was captured by the Huns. Although the Huns were powerful , but the strength of the Han Dynasty was also terrifying. Therefore, the Huns at that time did not want to kill Zhang Qian, but put him under house arrest. In order to let him join the Huns, the Huns also gave Zhang Qian a wife."

"In this way, Zhang Qian was imprisoned by the fierce slaves for 10 years. Once, Zhang Qian found an opportunity and escaped from the Huns. Because during these ten years, Zhang Qian learned the language of the Huns and became familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions. He even He wore Hu people's clothes. Therefore, Zhang Qian was not discovered by the Huns this time. But unfortunately, after more than ten years, the situation on the side of the Western Regions has undergone great changes."

"Usun, the enemy of the Da Yue Clan, was instigated by the Huns and defeated the Da Yue Clan. The Da Yue Clan had no choice but to keep fleeing to the west. Therefore, when Zhang Qian originally found the homeland of the Da Yue Clan, he found that the Da Yue Clan The Yuezhi is no longer there. It was later learned that they fled to the farther west and established a country there. For this reason, Zhang Qian went all the way west, constantly looking for the Great Yuezhi."

"But the Da Yue clan was not found. On the way, Zhang Qian found another country, Dawan (yuan). This is a country that produces famous horses, so Zhang Qian told the king of Da Yuan that he wanted to find the Da Yue clan. And I hope that Dawan can send people to protect me all the way, if Zhang Qian returns to the Han Dynasty, I will definitely report to the Emperor of Han and bring a generous gift to thank him."

"The king of Dayuan had long heard about the prosperity of the Han Dynasty in the east, and wanted to communicate with the Han Dynasty, but he was unable to do so due to the obstacles of the Xiongnu. Zhang Qian's unexpected arrival made him very happy and even more tempting. So I agreed to Zhang Qian's request, and after warm hospitality, I sent a guide and interpreter to send Zhang Qian and others to Kangju, and finally, after resting in Kangju for a period of time, I found Da Yuezhi."

The incomparably twists and turns of the missionary journey made everyone listen with gusto.

It was the first time they heard the story of Zhang Qian's mission to Da Yuezhi in the Han Dynasty.

At the same time.

While Chen Fan was talking about Zhang Qian's mission to the Da Yue Clan, Chen Fan also further explained the situation on the Western Region side at that time.

all of a sudden.

Everyone not only learned about the situation of the Han Dynasty at that time, but also had a general impression of the terrain, environment, and historical background of the Western Regions...

"It's just that although the Da Yuezhi was found, the situation of the Da Yuezhi country has been completely different from the previous situation in the past ten years. Before that, they were very close to the powerful Wusun and the Huns, so they have always been under the influence of Wusun and the Huns. This time, after they fled to the west, they defeated the Daxia Kingdom and occupied their land. The land here is very fertile and the products are very rich, and it is very far away from the two world enemies. The Da Yuezhi has changed After seeing their attitude, they did not want to take revenge. In the end, the Dayue clan expressed to Zhang Qian that the Dayue clan was too far away from the Han Dynasty. If they joined forces with the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu, they would meet with the Da Yue clan at that time. When it was dangerous, the Han Dynasty could not rescue them in time. The Da Yuezhi refused to cooperate with the Han Dynasty."

"Although Zhang Qian stayed in the Da Yuezhi for more than a year, Ling did not persuade the Da Yuezhi. In the end, Zhang Qian planned to return to the country. On the way back, Zhang Qian did not want to pass through the territory of the Huns. He caught it. Then he chose a road to the south, so Zhang Qian passed Shache Kingdom, Khotan Kingdom, Shanshan Kingdom... But unexpectedly, these countries have also become vassals of the Huns in the past few years. As a result, Zhang Qian was taken back again."

"But fortunately, a few years later, a rebellion broke out among the Huns. Zhang Qian took advantage of the chaos and returned to the Han Dynasty with his wife. When the news of Zhang Qian's return reached the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely shocked. Because for more than ten years , there has been no news of Zhang Qian. He thought that Zhang Qian had died as an envoy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian not only did not die, but returned to the Han Dynasty again after more than ten years. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy about Zhang Qian's return, so Let Zhang Qian be made a doctor of the Taizhong, in order to commend him for not forgetting the achievements of his homeland even though he has been a slave for more than ten years."

Having said that, Chen Fan stopped.

At this time.

Some fans asked: "Brother Fan, this seems to be another Su Wu herding sheep, but Zhang Qian is before Su Wu."

"Hehe, it seems so on the surface."

Chen Fan laughed.

Judging from the experience of the two, it is indeed very similar.

Zhang Qian was on a mission to the Western Regions, was arrested, then imprisoned for more than ten years, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty.

Su Wu was also on a mission to the Western Regions, was arrested, imprisoned for nearly 20 years, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty.

Judging from the time it took for him to be captured by the Huns, Su Wu surpassed Zhang Qian.

Because Su Wu is 19 years old, nearly 20 years old.

Zhang Qian was only 13 years old.

but.

In terms of credit, ten Su Wus are not as good as one Zhang Qian.

When Su Wu came back from the Huns, what proved most was his integrity.

The return of Zhang Qian not only proved his integrity, but more importantly, Zhang Qian's return gave the Han Dynasty the ambition to conquer the Western Regions.

Afterwards, Chen Fan explained: "Although Zhang Qian's mission this time did not convince the Da Yuezhi, he stayed in the Western Regions for more than ten years. Moreover, this also gave him a very deep understanding of the Xiongnu and the Western Regions. It was precisely because of Zhang Qian’s return that the Han Dynasty really realized the Western Regions. This made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty discover that the Western Regions were not completely controlled by the Huns. It turns out that there are so many countries in the Western Regions, and there are also a series of countries in the Western Regions. It turned out that life in the Western Regions was very difficult, and they yearned for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty..."

"Not only that. After Zhang Qian returned to the Han Dynasty, he learned about the Anxi Kingdom from these countries in the Western Regions, which is the current Persian Kingdom, the Great Food Kingdom, the current Yilaq, the Shendu Kingdom, and the current Tianzhu Kingdom... The situation of these countries. Moreover, he also wrote a detailed report on the content he learned. In this report, Zhang Qian analyzed the places in West Asia, Central Asia, Persia, Tianzhu... these countries Specialties, population, cities, military strength, local conditions and customs... etc., the most reliable records have been made."

Chen Fan's explanation.

In an instant, the entire live broadcast room boiled up.

……

"I don't care, Zhang Qian's mission to the Huns actually has this function."

"Just now, I was also thinking that Zhang Qian was similar to Su Wu. I didn't expect that this amount of credit would be enough to beat Su Wu."

"This is No. 1 in seeing the world with your eyes open."

In the excitement of everyone, Chen Fan continued: "Because of Zhang Qian's detailed information about the Western Regions, in 119 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions again. But it was different from the first time. The second time was mainly to unite with the Yuezhi. But this time, Emperor Wu of the Han no longer wanted to unite with the Yuezhi, but wanted to unite with Wusun, and even persuade Wusun to return to his homeland. However, this is not the most important purpose. The most important The important purpose is that besides uniting Wusun, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to use this mission to promote the might of the Han Dynasty."

"For this reason, for this mission, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Zhang Qian to bring more than 300 entourages, as well as countless gold and silver treasures, as well as a series of advanced technology and craft products of the Han Dynasty. Affected by this, the 36 countries in the Western Regions have It had good relations with the Han Dynasty, and also sent envoys to return. When the envoys from the 36 countries in the Western Regions came to the Han Dynasty, seeing the power and prosperity of the Han Dynasty strengthened their confidence in uniting with the Han Dynasty to fight against the Xiongnu. "

"For example, Wusun Kingdom. The original Wusun Kingdom was controlled by fierce slaves, but when they discovered the power of the Han Dynasty, King Wusun immediately wanted to make peace with the Han Dynasty. It is also like Dawan Kingdom, which is rich in famous horses. Dahan What was missing was horses, which caused the great Han to lose from time to time in the previous battles with the Huns. According to Zhang Qian’s information, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty discovered that many famous horses of the Huns came from Dawan. Immediately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Dawan, The Dawan army was defeated. In the end, Dawan paid tribute to the Han Dynasty with more than 3000 war horses.”

"Not only that. When the countries in the Western Regions discovered that the Han Dynasty had even defeated Dawan, all the countries in the Western Regions took the initiative to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty and sent a series of princes and nobles to the Han Dynasty as hostages. Expressing allegiance to the Great Han. Until the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the Western Regions. Since then, the Western Regions have officially been included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. So far, the Han Dynasty has shaken the world..."

This is Zhang Qian's two missions to the Western Regions.

His influence should be unmatched by any envoy of any dynasty.

"My mother, Brother Fan, I was wrong. Where is Zhang Qian's Su Wu? Even if there are 10 Su Wu, even 100 Su Wu can't compare to Zhang Qian."

"Understood, I finally understand. It turns out that the inclusion of the Western Regions into the territory of the Han Dynasty is due to Zhang Qian's two missions to the Western Regions."

"Awesome, Zhang Qian opened his eyes to see the world, allowing the Han Dynasty to truly stand on top of the world."

A group of fans were beaten up at once.

If we say how cowardly the Song Dynasty is, then how domineering the big man is.

It's just that although everyone knew that the Han Dynasty was very powerful, they also conquered the Western Regions.

But in it, everyone doesn't have a big concept about the conquest of the Han Dynasty.

This is equivalent to knowing that the Yuan Dynasty was very powerful.

But specifically, do you know how the Yuan Dynasty became powerful?

How did the territory of the Yuan Dynasty expand step by step?
None of this is known.

But now.

Chen Fan pointed out a person named "Zhang Qian".

This allowed everyone to see the prosperity of the big man and the strength of the big man.

just.

Just when everyone was extremely excited, Chen Fan said again: "Everyone calm down, calm down."

"Brother Fan, you can't be calm."

"If you don't calm down, you have to calm down... because I haven't finished talking yet."

"Ah, what else?"

"Of course there is."

Chen Fan nodded, and said again: "Zhang Qian's two missions to the Western Regions not only allowed the Han Dynasty to bring the Western Regions into its territory. Moreover, the Han Dynasty also brought its own advanced craft products, such as silk, tea, sugar, silk, porcelain, and paper. , gold, silver, silk fabrics, ironware... also spread from the Western Regions to Western countries such as Persia, Tianzhu, and Rome. And the Western countries also passed their cotton, grapes, carrots, spices, thoroughbred horses...etc. , spread to the Han Dynasty. Because the Han Dynasty was powerful and rich in products, under the influence of this, the Han Dynasty and a series of western countries started from Chang'an, passed through the Western Regions, reached Central Asia, West Asia, and connected the Mediterranean countries, opening up an extremely prosperous road. trade routes."

"For thousands of years, countless businessmen from the East and the West have traded with China successively along this route. This has not only promoted the economy and prosperity of the East and the West, but also promoted the cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Because in this Among the trade routes, silk is the item that Westerners like the most. Therefore, this trade route is also called the Silk Road..."
