Chapter 983 Part 3 Dispute
Later generations called the 50 years of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen's reign as the former prosperous age, which was the beginning of the three prosperous ages of the Great Qin Dynasty.

All the heights achieved by Daqin come from this era.

After the death of Emperor Wen, the Great Qin Empire also experienced the first round of storms. A new generation of gentry tycoons were restored. After half a century of dormancy, they began to rise again and compete for military and political power.

The new emperor was young, and the power fell into the hands of the five emperors of the empire.

Yang Xu's level of governing the country is excellent, but his level of choosing his son is far inferior.

The new king, Yang Che, was well-behaved and studious when he was the crown prince, but after ascending to the throne, he began to show the potential of a foolish king, and his interest in women is far greater than that of the government. All women over fourteen and under twenty must be ready to be conscripted into the palace by him at any time.

She's a good woman, and naturally likes to make big projects.

Daxing City was expanded again, and 30 people were enlisted to build the Lishan Palace, and the Wuwa Pavilion was built in Jianye, Nandu, and the Jinwu Zangjiao, a woman from the south of the Yangtze River, was recruited. In order to go to the east of the river, the new king built a huge ship of thousands of dendrobium and widened the canal , Countless villages and cities along the coast were destroyed...

The national power of the Great Qin Empire is also being consumed at an alarming rate.

Therefore, it was spread among the people that the emperor was the reincarnation of Sima Yan, who came here to harm the country of Great Qin.

It was also at this time that the once-sinking gentry tyrants re-emerged, and the official administration of the Great Qin Dynasty began to deteriorate.

After harming Great Qin for seven years, Zhang Jun, the [-]-year-old Pingshang Shushi, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He joined forces with several other Pingshang Shushis to abolish Yang Che as Marquis of Chenghun, and re-appointed the fourth son of Emperor Wen, Yang Fan, as the new emperor. .

But this emperor was even more mediocre and had no interest in political affairs.

During his 15 years in power, the Rouran people in Mobei rose again, threatening the border of the empire, and once invaded Monan, looting tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Fortunately, the army of the Great Qin Empire still maintained the bravery of decades ago. The veteran Bei Gongchun was in command. The 20 Chinese army plus the [-] soldiers from the Monan government defeated the Rouran people in the Battle of Beihai. More than a thousand people captured [-] cattle and sheep. Rouran's vitality was severely injured, and he ran into the extreme north again to lick his wounds.

Once again peace has been won on the frontiers of the Empire.

After experiencing the mediocrity of the two emperors Cheng Hunhou and Qin Zhidi, Daqin gradually slipped from the prosperous age.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, and the resurgent gentry tyrants began to speculate one after another in order to gain greater political benefits. As a result, the Great Qin Empire broke out and the seven sons seized the heir apparent.

Countless capable ministers and counselors will be involved.

The internal conflicts in the empire became more serious than ever before, the local officials were overstaffed, and the scullers on the canal ignored the squeeze, and a great rebellion broke out that swept across the Central Plains, Huainan, and Jiangdong.

Locally, King Qi, King Zhao, and King Jing followed closely behind, issuing slogans on the side of the Qing emperor, and marching troops from Shandong, Hebei, and Jingxiang to Guanzhong.

Good luck depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing.

Qin Xuan Emperor Yang Jin was killed from the Seven Sons Seizing the Inheritance, but unexpectedly he was an iron-blooded monarch. Everyone at the time said that he had the style of Emperor Wu. As soon as he ascended the throne, he won the military power of the Chinese army from Ping Shang Shushi.

Despite more than 20 years of corrosion, the Chinese army still maintains a fairly strong combat power due to continuous blood transfusions from low-level soldiers.

The 70-year-old veteran Tao Kan was used to suppress Caofu's rebellion quickly, and then went south to resist King Jing.

Then Zhou Qi, the son of the famous general Zhou Chu, led [-] elite troops to Huainan to stabilize the canal artery of the empire and attract the troops of King Qi.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of Tao Kan and Zhou Qi, they withstood the onslaught of Shandong and Jingxiang at the most dangerous time. Emperor Yang Jin took the initiative and led [-] elite Chinese troops to the north. Wan Dajun captured Zhao Wang Yang Mu alive in the first battle, Hebei was pacified, and the world was shaken.

Afterwards, Yang Jin went south to Shandong with his victorious army. When the Qi king's troops saw the emperor's banner, they opened the city and surrendered one after another.

King Qi saw that the situation was over, so he set himself on fire with his whole family.

The north was pacified, and the king of Jing in the south, Yang Hao, was isolated and had no choice but to surrender. His family was deposed as a commoner and sent to northern Liaoning.

Emperor Xuan Yang Jin not only inherited the military talent of Emperor Wu, but also inherited the talent of governing the country from Emperor Wen.

He ruled the empire for 27 years, reorganized the land and population of the whole country, eliminated mediocre officials, restrained the tyrants, restored the mausoleum system of the Han Dynasty, and moved the world's nobles and tycoons to Huangling to guard the mausoleum for Emperor Wu Yang Zheng.

Huangling thus became the richest city in the world.

By various means, the national strength of Daqin has risen again.

But at this time, a new empire also rose in Central Asia—the Han Dynasty.

No one expected that the seemingly mighty Xia Congress would be defeated in the Hanxia hegemony.

Of course, the victory of the Han Dynasty is also the choice of the Central Asian countries.

Xia Kingdom's natural Qiang blood was denounced as barbarians by all parts of Central Asia. They regarded the Chinese blood more than the sky, and firmly believed that the Han Kingdom was orthodox.

A total of 37 countries in Central Asia and the Western Regions were only united by the Han State, and they had repeatedly fought against the powerful Xia State for 37 years.

Even Sasanian and Roman were involved.

Central Asia became a battleground for three civilizations.

It wasn't until the rise of Yang Yan, the third Han king, that under his rule, Han turned its economic power into war power, and used good families in Hezhong and Western Regions as generals.

Rather than saying that Xia Guo was defeated by its national strength, it would be better to say that it was defeated by its talent pool.

In the Battle of Yaoshashui, a death-defying battalion composed of [-] good families, wearing heavy armor, carrying long spears and crossbows, formed an array with their backs against the water, and defeated [-] Xia cavalry.

This battle once again refreshed the image of the Sasanians and Romans on the Qin army.

It turns out that the Qin army is not only invincible on iron cavalry, but also the infantry is so powerful.

The myth that the cavalry was invincible was also broken in one fell swoop.

Xia Guo's morale was completely destroyed.

Afterwards, Yang Yan, king of Han, took advantage of the victory to invade the Qihe River Basin and recruited and surrendered the rebels. However, the tenacity and fierceness of the Qiang people in the blood of King Xia made them choose not to surrender, but to move westward with [-] tents.

This group of people killed all directions on the grasslands of the West, and rebuilt the Xia Kingdom 30 years later.

Yang Yan, the King of Han, was in full swing, his territory continued to expand, and coupled with his impressive economic strength, he became the third most powerful country after Sasanian and Roman.

With great strength, the Han Kingdom began to seek further power.

Repeatedly showing great prosperity, we should follow the example of Rome's pattern of two emperors standing side by side.

Emperor Xuan was furious, and wanted to send 30 troops to march west, and teach this rebellious nephew a lesson.

But at this time, Daqin had just recovered from its weakness, and 30 troops marched westward from Daxing, traveling nearly [-] miles. Even if the soldiers could bear it, the logistics and supplies could not bear it.

After the Han State absorbed the Seven Rivers Basin of the Xia State, its strength had swelled to a terrifying level, with superior troops, occupying a favorable location, and waiting for work with leisure, this battle was impossible to fight.

Therefore, Emperor Xuan's western expedition plan did not get the approval of the five Pingshang Shushi, and the matter was left alone.

So Yang Yan, king of the Han Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, and was known as Emperor Ming of the Western Qin Dynasty in history. The Tianshan Mountains, the north and the south, the Congling Mountains, and the east and west were all under his command.

Even the former Anxi Protectorate also surrendered to its rule.

Even though he proclaimed himself emperor, Yang Yan still respected the Central Plains, made offerings every year, and still proclaimed himself a minister in the memorial table, which temporarily eased the relationship between the two sides.

Emperor Xuan endured this tone and concentrated on internal reforms. His reign for more than 20 years and the next Emperor Xiang's 17 years in power were called the prosperous age of Xuanxiang by history books.

This is the second prosperous age of Daqin.
