History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 154 Zhang Qian
汉朝
Liu Che looked at the unanimous praise of the big man in the comment area and felt very happy.

It seems that many people in the Han Dynasty liked him!
These future generations, if they can speak, speak more!

But Liu Che probably didn't know that most of the following people were from his Han Dynasty.

Su Yue looked at the comment area and also said: "The Han Dynasty is definitely one of my favorite dynasties. The country is always weak, and the only Han Dynasty is strong and perish! The strong men of the Han Dynasty really cannot be built!"

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Yes, and the rare thing is that the Han Dynasty had many wonderful and beautiful people!
Jiangnan has been in mist: I totally agree! The Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty and the Double Wall of the Han Dynasty. I don’t even know why a dynasty can be so exciting!
Note that this woman is called Xiaomei: because since the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, only the Han Dynasty has been a country for four hundred years, even though it is broken!
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Yes! So the Han Dynasty is a strong man!
Kiritobuyu: Ahhhhhh! Big Han Niubi!
Su Yue looked at their comment area and said: "Okay, the next diplomat is also from the Han Dynasty, and he is from the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Well, it also has an indelible contribution to our wonderful life!
He is the great man Zhang Qian! "

Zhang Qian (about 164 BC - 114 BC), courtesy name Ziwen, was a native of Chenggu County, Hanzhong County (now Chenggu County, SX Province). He was an outstanding diplomat, traveler, explorer and pioneer of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty.

In the second year of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty (139 BC), Zhang Qian set out from Chang'an on the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. With his father Gan as his guide, he led more than people on an envoy to the Western Regions and opened up the north-south road from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, known as Hehe. The famous "Silk Road", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named him Bowang Hou for his military achievements.

Zhang Qian made two missions to the Western Regions, opening up land transportation between China and Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia and even Europe. From then on, the Chinese sold silk, tea, lacquerware and other products to countries in the Western Regions and Central Asia through this channel. At the same time, gems, glassware and other products were introduced from Europe, West Asia and Central Asia.

In the third year of Yuanding reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (114 BC), Zhang Qian died of illness in Chang'an and was buried in his hometown in Hanzhong.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: that is to say, Zhang Qian finally became a Bowang Hou, because Li Guang, a lost prince, was fucked again!

Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): So Li Guang is not suitable for staying too far away, he is suitable for defending the city!

Not allowed to grow old in the world: Yes, so it’s really a pity to say Li Guang. He had many opportunities to become a marquis, but unfortunately he missed each time due to various reasons!
Jiangnan is already experiencing mist and rain: so it’s really pitiful! I remember there was a conspiracy theory that because Zhang Qian stayed with the Xiongnu for too long, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that Zhang Qian would betray him!
Wuduyi: Yes, and some people say that the emperor still doubts Su Wu! Speechless!

I send my longing to the bright moon: What is this? I've also seen people say that Liu Che suspected Wei Qing!

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Ah, why is my first reaction ridiculous?

Wan Ning can’t sleep acridine (Guan): Because now the mainstream of the Internet is Liu Weihuo’s family, and there are even fan stories about them!

Community of Contradictions: Yes, but I don’t think Liu Che would be so aggressive with Wei Qing! After all, no matter how powerful Wei Qing is, his son is just a mediocre person, and Huo Guang is more capable than them!

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Yes, after all, rumors hurt! Some people say that Liu Che wants to kill Huo Qubing, but let’s just say that Liu Che won’t kill his general in idleness, especially since Liu Che is preparing for the second battle of Mobei!

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: So, history needs to be viewed rationally!
Su Yue looked at the comment area and said: "Okay, okay, let's take a look at Zhang Qian's historical achievements!" Silk Road
Zhang Qian was not afraid of dangers and went on two missions to the Western Regions, communicating China's commercial relations with West Asia and Europe. China's silk and silk fabrics were transported from Chang'an to the west, through the Hexi Corridor, in present-day Xinjiang, and to Parthia (present-day Iranian Plateau and Liangnan). River Basin), and then transferred from Parthia to Daqin (Rome) in West Asia and Europe, opening up the famous "Silk Road" in history.

Historian Sima Qian praised Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions as "opening the way", which means "opening the road".

Fight against the Huns
In February and April of the sixth year of Yuanshuo (123 BC), General Wei Qing sent troops to attack the Xiongnu twice. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Qian to serve as a captain and attack Mobei from the army.

In the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), Zhang Qian and "Flying General" Li Guang were ordered to lead an army out of Youbeiping (today's northeastern Hebei region) to attack the Xiongnu.

In the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Zhang Qian as Zhonglang General and sent him on his second mission to the Western Regions to unite Wusun and fight against the Xiongnu.

Zhang Qian sent deputy envoys to Dayuan, Kangju, Dayuezhi, Anxi, Shendu, Khotan, Mimi and other countries to carry out diplomatic activities. He traveled all over Central Asia and Southwest Asia, and the farthest envoys reached Rome on the Mediterranean coast. Empire and North Africa, the long-standing hidden dangers in the northwest frontier have gradually been eliminated.

Return of the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty
Zhang Qian returned to the Han Dynasty on his second mission to the Western Regions and brought envoys from the Wusun Kingdom. After "taking a peek at the Han Dynasty and knowing its vastness," the Wusun Kingdom and the Western Han Dynasty began to have friendly exchanges on the basis of equality.

Within a year after that, the deputy envoys sent by Zhang Qian to the Wusun Kingdom and the envoys from the Western Regions countries returned to the Han Dynasty one after another. The Han Dynasty and the Western Regions countries officially began equal and friendly exchanges, and the first diplomatic activities between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions countries began. A climax begins to arrive.

Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions and came into contact with the customs and customs of the countries in the Western Regions. It was the Han Dynasty that began to understand the countries in the Western Regions, which enabled the Han Dynasty to establish friendly relations with the Western Regions. It later established the Western Regions Protectorate for the Western Han government, and officially returned the Western Regions to the Western Han government. Jurisdiction laid the foundation.

Envoys from the Han Dynasty continued to travel to various countries in the Western Regions, as many as a dozen times a year, and as few as five or six times, all using the name "Bo Wanghou" to win the trust of various countries.

In the second year of the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty (60 BC), the Western Han government established the Western Region Protectorate to take charge of affairs in the Western Region and protect business travelers.

From then on, the Western Regions officially came under the rule of the central government.

My charming but short-lived ancestor: OK, OK, although Zhang Qian was fucked once, a capable person will definitely not live a bad life!

Jiangnan is in the mist: Yes, that’s why Zhang Qian is the boss!
Wan Ning can't sleep acridine (Guan): Oh, and Zhang Qian, the big boss, brought us so much food!
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: That’s right! Moreover, Zhang Qian made the Han know about the West for the first time and built the Silk Road!

The south of the Yangtze River has been in mist: I also saw another "Great Qin Empire", not a loss!
Lian Lian: Yes, so Zhang Qian is really a great person. Apart from him, Zheng He is the only one in history.

Yun Xi: Nothing wrong! Every land and every sea is full of awesome characters!
