The Heroic Biography of Little People

41. The Great Han Chapter of the Silk Road

Bingzhou Army and Feixiong Army were thrown to Xu Rong and Hua Xiong by Li Shushi, while he himself led more than a thousand elite soldiers on the first step. Li Shushi is not worried about those small forces. .[-] xs = small = said,

As for him here—with masters like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and the two chief and deputy guard commanders, as well as outstanding young talents like Yan Xing, Yelida, Wu Ze, and Tuoba Liwei, no matter whether it is his personal safety or the entire army. His attacking ability is trustworthy, not to mention that the elite of more than a thousand people not only has his own personal guards, but also the Xiliang cavalry and foreign cavalry commanded by Lu Bu.

If you add two Su Xiaoluoli and Luo I am Radar He, who are probably on the foreign level, and Jia Xu and Han Hao as staff officers, Li Shushi's team of more than a thousand people is luxuriously equipped.And this is not counting Wang Ling, Wang Chang, Wu Qiuxing, Jia Kui, and little Sima Yi, who are still very inexperienced and capable, but it is hard to say that they will not have flashes of genius.

The only people who are slightly worried are the family members of the high-ranking Bingzhou Army. However, with Ma Qing's calmness and Liao Chun, who is becoming more and more young and mature, the combat effectiveness of the Women's Army may be very scary.

After arranging everything, the advance team led by Li Shushi embarked on the road to the north without stopping.

The Silk Road is an ancient commercial trade route that started from Chang'an, the political, economic and cultural center of ancient China, connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.It crosses the Longshan Mountains, passes through the Hexi Corridor, passes through Yumen Pass and Yang Pass, arrives in Xinjiang, passes through Central Asia, West Asia and North Africa along the oasis and the Pamirs, and finally reaches Africa and Europe.It is also a main road for economic, political and cultural exchanges between the East and the West.Because a large number of silk and silk fabrics unique to China are often transported westward through this road, it is called the Silk Road, or Silk Road for short.

The name Silk Road was first proposed by German geographer F.P.W. Richthofen in his book "China—The Fruits of My Travels" published in 1877.It originally refers to the communication route between China and Central Asia, the Hejian region and India during the Han Dynasty, with the silk trade as the medium and the main means of communication.Later, the German Hutsen wrote a monograph "Silk Road" on the basis of years of research.Since then, the title of Silk Road has been recognized by the world.

In fact, in a broad sense, the eastern section of the Silk Road has reached North Korea and Japan, and the western section has reached France and the Netherlands.It can also reach Italy, Egypt, or the entire Roman Empire by sea.

The traditional Silk Road can generally be divided into three sections, and each section can be roughly divided into three routes: North, Central, and South.

Among them, from Chang'an all the way to the northwest through the Hexi Corridor to Yumenguan or Yangguan in Dunhuang County is the eastern section of the entire route. The entire territory is basically under the control of the Han Dynasty. Only the southern route needs to go deep into the Han and Qiang mixed areas.

Go west out of Yumen Pass or Yang Pass and go west to Congling. The area currently under the control of Wulei State belongs to the middle section, and its entire territory is within the scope of the Western Regions in our traditional sense. The Pamir Plateau where various frictions occurred, it is worth mentioning that there was another name in ancient times, that is, Buzhou Mountain, which was broken by Gonggong and caused the sky to collapse.

The above two sections of the Silk Road were basically formed when Zhang Qian traveled to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, while the western section did not form a large-scale trade route in the Western Han Dynasty due to various reasons. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that it gradually developed into a route leading to Central Asia, West Asia and even Europe. The road to gold.

Among them, in the eastern section of Dahan, the three routes in the north, central and south are also quite particular.

Most of the texts describing the eastern section of the Silk Road will describe it like this-"From Chang'an in the east, to Longban in the west, passing through the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang in the Hexi Corridor, and exiting Yumen Pass or Yang Pass."

The maps of Chang’an and Hexi’s four prefectures are easy to find. Yumenguan and Yangguan, as the gateways for Han to communicate with the Western Regions, can also be found on the maps of Dunhuang County or Liangzhou. Only this “Longban” is completely missing on the map. can not see.

If you want to find out what the word means, you don't need to consult any ancient books, just go to the Xinhua dictionary.

Xinhua Dictionary tells us: "Longban" and "Longban" are interchangeable, and the first explanation is Longshan.

Well, if you hear this name, if you still have some impressions of the fourth volume of this book, you will remember the Longguan that divides Hanyang County and Youfufeng, and that under Longshan used to be the governor of Liangzhou. Long County.

Of course, if you think that Shanglongban refers to crossing Longguan, then you may still miss a whole route, because the current Longshan refers to the southern part of Liupan Mountain located in the south of Ningxia and east of Gansu, but in In the Han Dynasty, the long and narrow Liupan Mountains from north to south were called Longshan Mountains, and the highest peak on the north side, Liupan Mountain, was located in the center of the triangle formed by Xi'an, Yinchuan, and Lanzhou City, that is to say, in the territory of Anding County in the Han Dynasty. , but it is a hundred kilometers away from Longguan.

It is precisely because of this difference that the Silk Road, which is obviously also Shanglongban, passes through the Hexi Corridor and finally reaches Yumenguan or Yangguan, but is divided into three routes according to the different routes.

The northern line of the Silk Road runs from Chang'an, along the Weihe River to Guoxian County, then Yanjingchuan River to the north, passing through Sixian County, crossing Liupan Mountain, Guyuan and Haiyuan, along the ancient channel of Zuli River, crossing the Yellow River at Jingyuan to Guzang, Then all the way to Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang to Yumenguan or Yangguan.

This route is the earliest road to the Western Regions opened by the Han Dynasty. Its biggest advantage is that it is the shortest route to the Western Regions, but there are basically no benefits other than that.The Zuli River and its upstream Zu River near the traveling route are also called Kushui River because the stratum in the basin contains more saline and alkali, and the water tastes bitter and salty.At the same time, the river water in Wuwei has a high sediment content and is difficult to access, making it very difficult to resupply after entering Wuwei, which brings many unpredictable dangers.

The southern line runs from Chang'an along the Weihe River through Yongxian County, passes through Longguan, Shangyu, Didao, and Yuhan, goes north to Heguan, crosses the Yellow River, passes through the Linqiang and Anyi areas, and reaches Zhangye.

Compared with the dangerous northern route, the southern route undoubtedly has more abundant water and grass, and there are many people and herdsmen along the way, so it is very easy to get supplies, and you can also do some trade with various ethnic minorities along the way.But firstly, the distance is long, and secondly, even if you walk in Jincheng County, it is a mixed area of ​​Han and Hu after leaving Heguan in the north. Attacks from unknown alien tribes are a bit worrying about safety.

As a result, over time, a central line has been formed that is shorter than the southern line, easier to supply than the northern line, and safer throughout the journey.

In fact, the distance of the middle line is not a fixed line, but the result of businessmen who combine the two routes from the north and the south according to their own needs. It can be said that as long as the route is in the middle of the area bordered by the two routes, it can be regarded as the middle line.

Two of the more common routes are:

One of them was more inclined to the northern route at the beginning, but after crossing Longshan from Wushi, it did not go north to Guyuan, but went west to the current Huining area, and then turned north from Jincheng County, crossing the junction of Wuwei County and Jincheng County. Located at the southeastern end of Lenglongling, the northern branch of the Qilian Mountains, Wushaoling, the natural boundary between the Longzhong Plateau and the Hexi Corridor, reaches Guzang, the seat of Wuwei County.

The other branched from the southern line at Shangpi, crossed Longshan Mountain, arrived at Jincheng County, crossed the Yellow River, traced the Zhuanglang River, and crossed Wushaoling to Guzang.That is to say, the two routes from Jincheng County have actually overlapped each other, and the other routes on the central line are roughly the same.

"I'm telling the truth, what are you going to do after so much rambling in the air over there?"

War horses are galloping on the official road. Although there are only more than a thousand people, there are more than 2000 war horses. It is obviously equipped with two horses for one person, except for a few magical BMWs that are enough to make people drool. In fact, only For Lu Bu who loves horses, Li Shushi, who is riding a claw yellow, and Miss Luohe, who is riding Lu Bu, is equipped with a good war horse even though he knows that a red rabbit horse can travel thousands of miles without being out of breath. as an alternative.

It is precisely because of this that at this time he has the leisure to tease Li Shushi, who has been talking to the sunset since just now, and he doesn't know what he is talking about, although he knows that Li Shushi is always habitually distracted. "hobby".

"Ah... this... this..."

"Can't make it up?" A sweet voice came from behind Li Shushi.

Well, in fact, if the children's shoes that have been carefully looked at have been discovered, then Lu, who was supposed to be Su Xiaoluoli's mount, has now become Luo He's mount, so where did Su Xiaoluoli go as the master?Right~ Naturally, it is behind Li Shushi - speaking of such a beautiful thing, it is a plot that Li Shushi has been looking forward to for a long time in his two lifetimes of more than 30 years.

Su Xiaoluoli's amazing figure plus the rhythmic ups and downs when the horse gallops... Well, it's better to deal with nosebleeds first, otherwise be careful that your HP will drain~

Probably because of Zhen Qing's "active attack" that day, who is also the main wife, Su Xiaoluoli felt a certain sense of crisis, especially seeing Li Shushi's happy face when Lolicon was carrying Zhen Xiaoluoli on his back made Su Xiaoluoli Said that he is also a loli and his combat power is absolutely complete. All normal loli, no, Li Shushi has another kind of welfare.

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with monopoly, and only with competition can there be progress.

"Ahem... I'm definitely not thinking about getting comfortable... No, no, I'm thinking whether we should stay in Hanyang for a while."

"Hanyang?" Lu Bu said that he didn't quite understand.

"It's a good place..."

Speaking of this, many people showed nostalgic looks on their faces, although perhaps the things they missed were not the same.

Note: The Zuli River originates from the north side of Huajialing Mountain, and has two sources: Li River originating in the south is fresh water, and Zu River originating in the east is bitter water.After the current river channel converges in the south of Huining County, it was called Zuli River at first, and flows westward from the north until it flows into the Yellow River in the west of Jingyuan County.In the Han Dynasty, the two rivers intersected in the northwest of Huining County, Jingyuan County, and the southwest of Zuli County in the Han Dynasty. The demise of Zuli County and the rise of Huining County should have a lot to do with the continuous southward movement of the confluence of the two rivers. relationship.

ps: Today is the day when the Arab League was established in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. My father said that when Egypt was at its peak, it was not named after Egypt at all, and was basically called the Arab League directly.Times have changed, and the once glorious organization is now riddled with holes.That's why the great man said it well-if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and development is the last word.

ps2: Today is the day of the death of the famous German poet, playwright, and thinker Goethe. People who like Europe will not be unfamiliar with this name. "Faust" is already a philosophical work to some extent. It is a compulsory book for young people who intend to become literary youth.

ps3: It is said that several countries in East Asia are working hard to study large ice-breaking transport ships to open up new routes.It's a good thing, at least the distance from East Asia to Britain, Northern Europe and even Germany can be shortened considerably, and at least the Bering Strait should be wider.

Having said that, I have to mention one more thing.Many people have been raving about the Malacca dilemma. Although we feel that there is a little bit of global war thinking, but since this is the case, let’s also mention a term. Interested children’s shoes can ponder for themselves: Andaman dilemma.

In fact, the blockade of Malacca did have a great impact on the water transportation in East Asia, but it is not completely without solutions. At least the narrowest part of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand is only 56 kilometers. If Singapore is not a Chinese country, China can do it Make Singapore a dead city, just like China is preparing to do in Ecuador now.

But Andaman is different. This archipelago belonging to India is just in the east of the Bay of Bengal, and the Nicobar Islands just block off the Andaman Bay, which is the western channel of the Strait of Malacca and adjacent to the Kra Isthmus.Among them, Port Blair, located on South Andaman Island, is a very good deep-water port with an extremely important strategic position.If there is a war, only blockade here, the effect may not be weaker than Singapore.

Well, it's over here, it's over here~
