Chapter 387 The Lost Ancient Country

The tourists looked at Xiaobailong. On the beach in Jinning, Xiaobailong told them about the bronze civilization unearthed in the ancient tomb.

"Han envoys came to the ancient Dian Kingdom and asked about the road to India. The king of Dian stayed with the Han envoys for four years, and sent more than a dozen people to take them to find this mysterious passage.

But every time he went to the Erhai Lake area, he was robbed and blocked by local nomads.It is said that these nomads have a nomadic range of thousands of miles, and they are probably the earliest caravans.

Although the Han envoys were unable to go there, they heard from their mouths that there was a big country west of Ailao Mountain, and they were good at riding elephants.So it was called the Dianyue Chengxiang Kingdom.This is the first time that Ailao Kingdom has appeared in history.

The Shu body poison path was not found, and the poor Dian king was targeted by the Han Dynasty.The king of Dian didn't expect that staying with the Han envoy to stay and lead the way for the Han envoy brought disaster to himself.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty could not return without success, saying that Dian Kingdom is good, and Dian Kingdom can be subordinated to Han Dynasty, with Dian Kingdom as the base, and then slowly find this mysterious road of poisonous body of Shu.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is expanding his territory, so he readily agreed.I heard that the Kunming Pond is five hundred miles long, so I don’t fight unprepared battles. I dug the Kunming Pond in Chang’an to practice water warfare.This is the Han Xilou boat.

After training, the army was sent to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Many tribes resisted along the way, and the Han army beheaded hundreds of thousands.The army drove all the way to the edge of Yunchi, and the king of Dian saw that although he had tens of thousands of people, how could it be enough to cut him down?Forced to surrender.

The Han Dynasty said that since you surrendered, well, you continue to manage your land and people.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the seal of the King of Dian, and established Yizhou County in the Yunzhou area for the first time.

We talked about it when we were in Jinning, the strange thing is that it is here, just after surrender, there is no record of the ancient Dian kingdom, it disappeared.

If it weren't for the excavation of the seal of the King of Dian in the tombs of Shizhai Mountain in Jinning, which can be corroborated with the records in the historical records, the ancient Dian kingdom would be a legend, and no one would believe it. "

Everyone nodded. At that time, they heard Xiaobailong talk about the strange customs of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the splendid bronze culture, and the three major magic arts of Nanyang. They still feel sorry for this mysterious ancient country.

"The ancient tombs in Yunchi, the dead bones in Chengjiang, the zombies in the ancient city of Fuxian Lake, and the bronze headhunting witches have provided material and inspiration for countless tomb robbery novels and films."

The tourists were creeped out again.

"The ancient Dian people disappeared mysteriously together with the ancient Dian kingdom. Some say they assimilated into Han people, and some say they changed into other ethnic minorities.

In any case, it was because the Han Dynasty wanted to find the way of poisoning the body of Shu, and conquered the eastern Yunnan plateau, and then the ancient Dian kingdom disappeared.

The Southern Silk Road did exist in the ancient Dian Kingdom, because the cultural relics unearthed in the ancient Dian Kingdom include shells and pearls from the other side of the ocean, and many special products of South and Southeast Asia, including some customs, appeared in the Dian Kingdom 2000 years ago.

But why did the King of Dian send someone to lead them to find this road?He clearly knew this way!Why not tell the Han envoy?
In ancient times, people already knew the importance of commercial exchanges.Didn't the Huns control the Hexi Corridor?It is also understandable that the people of Yunnan did not want to tell the Han envoys about this road.

Even after being ruled by the Han Dynasty, the Dian tribes continued to resist.Therefore, a large number of people died, and perhaps some people escaped.

Today across the Indian Ocean, the Badak people on Sumatra Island have completely preserved the architectural style and customs of the ancient Dian Kingdom, even the costumes, dances and ritual customs are the same, and they also say that their ancestors moved to the local area.

This made the archaeologists very excited. The Badakers also proposed to do DNA testing to find out where their ancestors came from?But in 2000, the DNA of the ancient Dian people had been destroyed long ago.

However, it can basically be judged that they are descendants of the ancient Dian people through the same customs.It is also certain that the ancient Dian people knew about this passage to India, otherwise they would not have escaped to the Indian Ocean.

The ancient Dian Kingdom did not tell the Han envoys about this passage until it disappeared!It is precisely because of the importance of controlling business channels!Since ancient times, Yunzhou has been the gateway to Southeast Asia and South Asia! "

Everyone nodded.

"After the disappearance of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the Eastern Yunnan Plateau belonged to the Yizhou County of the Han Dynasty, and then used it as a base to attack the Ailao Kingdom. The forces of the Han Dynasty passed through Chuxiong and Dali, and went straight to the center of the Ailao Kingdom."

Although more than 2000 years have passed, the tourists have also become nervous
"Six of the 24 counties in Yizhou are related to Ailao territory. Let me talk about the three places you are more familiar with. Xielong County is Weishan. Yeyu County is Dali. Buwei County is in Baoshan. , which is the ruling center of Ailao Kingdom.”

The tourists were shocked.

"It's also interesting to talk about Buwei County. Do you know why it's called Buwei County?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Buwei is Lu Buwei!"

"what!"

"What do you think is the relationship between Lu Buwei, Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? It turns out that Lu Jia, the descendant of Lu Buwei, is also the prime minister of the South Vietnam Kingdom, and he does not want to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

Nanyue refers to the area of ​​Guangxi and Guangdong. During the Qin Dynasty, Baiyue was conquered, and the southeast coastal area was called Baiyue.This is why the Ailao Kingdom is called the Dianyue Chengxiang Country, because anyway, the southern minorities who are unclear are all called Yue.

After Emperor Wu of the Han conquered South Vietnam with [-] soldiers, he distributed the descendants of the Lu family to the frontier, and personally took the names of their ancestors as the place name, so Buwei County was born in the farthest frontier at that time. "

The tourists were amazed.

"At that time, Lu Buwei's descendants came from afar. Judging from the geographical location of the Central Plains, it was called Fapi Frontier. Judging from the geographical location of Southeast Asia, it was the center of Southeast Asia and the capital of a major country in the Southwest.

Therefore, it is not so miserable to distribute to the frontier, but the road to the center of Ailao country is difficult and dangerous.So they made Lancang songs: Hande Guang, Kai Bubin, Du Bonan, Yue Lanjin, Cross Lancang, for others.

It is to open up the territory for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the first to spread the Han culture to the farthest area.This is also the first time that the Lancang River appeared in the history of the Central Plains.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't know that the criminals he assigned had already stood on the path of poisonous Shu body that he had been looking for so hard! "

"what!"

"Bonan, the name of the mountain, is located in the west of Dali and on the east bank of the Lancang River. It is the west gate of Dali Prefecture. It is the throat of transportation from Yunzhou to Baoshan, Nujiang, Dehong and other places, as well as to Myanmar, India and other Southeast Asian and South Asian countries. To rush.

Bonan Ancient Road is the most important section of the Southern Silk Road. "

Everyone nodded. Before coming here, they felt that Yunzhou had no history. If they followed Xiaobailong, there would be monuments and history everywhere.

Master Zhou listened to it while driving, and admired it.It is rare for other tour guides to be able to talk for 10 minutes or so, so he just kept talking.

"It was when the influence of the Han Dynasty penetrated into the heart of Ailao country, Ailao country gradually declined. Throughout our history, it is a history of migration. Migration is the characteristic of animals including humans. From living by water and grass to now Big cities are crowded."

The tourists laughed, they were all big city people.

"There are no restrictions on this kind of folk migration. For example, there are no restrictions on which city we go to now.

This is also the case in ancient times. They themselves are nomads and caravans. When they see a group of strangers coming, they may help him.

This method was adopted in the Western Han Dynasty, allowing the Han people to go deep into the heart of Ailao country.This is a people-to-people exchange.

At the same time, disputes often occurred in the area bordering Ailao State and the Han Dynasty, that is, in the Ailao Mountain area.This is between countries, and it is not so gentle.

Fighting back and forth, the Han people have survived in Ailao country, but the Ailao people have never surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

In fact, this also shows that the common people are relatively soft and blunt.For the ruler, is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king is the subject of the king.This is especially important.

But for the common people, anyway, you didn't affect me, and you didn't come to my house to grab food, so you wouldn't think so much.In fact, the earliest immigrants from the Han Dynasty had already integrated into the local ethnic groups.

The people have already passed together, but the country is still fighting.The military strength of the Han Dynasty was strong. In AD 69, Ailao King Yilang, known as Liu Maung in Han history, led 77 small countries, including the boss country, a total of 78 countries, and the whole country belonged to him.

During the Han Dynasty, the whole country was celebrating. The big country that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not win, and the big country in the southwest that had been fighting for more than 100 years, suddenly wanted to leave and surrendered.

Luoyang held a large banquet to celebrate my king's virtue and power, and the surrender of all barbarians.After the celebration, he quickly took over the area of ​​Ailao State and set up Yongchang County, which was the second largest county at that time.

Shu body is poisonous, and they finally found it.Because this channel is in Baoshan!Go out from Tengchong directly to South Asia and India!
This thing is really very happy!Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty also imitated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to issue the seal of the King of Dian, and awarded Liu Mao the Ailao King Seal.But Ailao Kingdom, like the ancient Dian Kingdom, disappeared shortly after being attached. "

A tourist said: "It's really strange that these two countries disappeared! They are both centuries-old civilizations, and they suddenly disappeared after surrendering!"

He Huan said: "Experts and scholars stand on a certain standpoint and cannot criticize the ancestors. Since ancient times, they have been talking about enlightenment. But in such a large country, with a history of hundreds of years, the customs and habits are completely different. Once you surrender, you will be educated? "

Tourists mused that history is written by the victors, as it has been since time immemorial.

"I think there is a reason for this, that is, this kind of tribal alliance is still relatively loose, unlike the centralized state like the Han Dynasty.

So at the beginning, it was because some of the small countries belonged to the Han Dynasty, so they went to fight, and when they lost, they led all the small countries to surrender together.

We said that ethnic minorities recognize their leaders. In the Central Plains, do you dare to call the emperor brother?There was one called Big Brother, who was killed.Does the Central Plains dare to divide the king from the king?But they are just a group of kings, not emperors.

Just like the Liangshan hero, it turns out that you are my elder brother, let's drink and eat meat together and occupy the mountain as king to resist foreign enemies.You fight hard, I listen to you.Then you surrendered to the imperial court, are you still my elder brother?

In fact, this boss has been emptied, and other tribes naturally no longer obey him.So even though Liu Mao had surrendered, there were still tribes rebelling.

At that time, the alliance countries gathered together to exchange what they needed and resist foreign enemies.A small country does not need to pay taxes to a big country, and the big king does not have the power to kill the small king.

But in the Han Dynasty, whether it was the land of the king or the subjects of the king, they all had to pay taxes, and the emperor's orders could not be violated.So these tribes can't understand this, why should I pay you tribute?Why is it inviolable?

I want to violate it!They resisted one after another.Where there is resistance, there will be suppression, and tribal alliances will gradually disperse and perish.Therefore, some ethnic minorities call the king Liu Maung a traitor. "

The tourists nodded, "Poor kid!"

"Han opened the southwest and established the southwestern border of our country, but we can understand them from the standpoint of Ailao people."
