Because the Trojan city is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Greek army and Trojan warriors have been fighting for 10 years. Finally, Odysseus, the hero, offered a clever plan to make all Greek soldiers board the war ship, create the fake of withdrawing troops, and deliberately leave a huge Trojan horse in front of the city.
Trojans happily carried Trojan horses into the city as a booty. That night, while the Trojans were addicted to wine and dancing, 20 Greek soldiers hiding in the Trojan horse killed them. They opened the gate and joined in and put the Greek troops buried outside the city into the city. Troy was immediately captured and the whole city was destroyed by fire. The old king and most men were killed, women and children were taken captive, and Helen was brought back to Greece as the "greatest trophy".
Greek men fought against the enemy country in order to take back the women they had abducted, and the battle was ten years. They think it's worth it. Because in their culture, protecting women of their own nation is everything, that is all the reasons for war. This reason is the only and sufficient: behind the women of their own, is the dignity of the men of the whole nation.
On the other end of the Greek Kingdom, the ancient oriental Empire played a unique "war and women" drama.
In the winter of 200 BC, the eastern empire started a series of friendly horses from east to west. This is the Han Dynasty ancestor Liu Bang married daughter in Hun Shan Yu. The accompanying team was vast, and dozens of carriages were put on dowry.
This is the seventh year of Han Dynasty, just a few days ago, the Han and Hungarian countries just ended a war. At that time, the founder of Han Dynasty and the Han high ancestor Liu Bang were close to Shuai 300000 troops to meet the Huns in the south. Although Hun was the first foreign enemy in China since the pre Qin Dynasty, the emperor, who sang "wind songs" and dominated the world, was satisfied with his ambition and did not pay much attention to the Huns.
Liu Bang led the army to Jinyang, which is around Taiyuan City in Shanxi Province today, and is ready to fight against Huns. However, as soon as Liu Bang's army arrived, Hun army retreated north. So Liu Bang went ahead and led his forerunner troops to Pingcheng, the northeast of Datong City, Shanxi Province today, and was stationed in the east of Pingcheng to mount Bai mountain.
At this moment, the situation reversed. Suddenly, Hun army came from all directions. 400000 elite soldiers surrounded the white mountain and a bird would not want to fly away from the mountain. The Han Army in the inside cannot go out, and the foreign reinforcements can not enter. In this way, Liu Bang was surrounded for seven days in Bai mountain climbing, unable to get out of his body. This is the famous "white mountain climbing enclosure".
Liu Bang tried to break through the border several times, and he failed to return. If so, the founder of the Han Dynasty could become the first emperor to be taken away by foreign enemies in China. Hard play can't do, so I have to make a plan. Under Liu Bang, there is a famous counselor, Chen Ping, who is good at making "soft moves". He plays with pillow wind idea.
Chen Ping sent messengers with a large number of gold and jewelry to visit the queen who was alone in the town of Anton. The queen was very happy to see so many treasures. The emissary told the queen that if Liu Bang was caught alone, the Han Dynasty would surely offer a lot of precious beauty to Shanyu. When she only loved Han family beauties, your queen would not be able to protect her position. This move worked. That night, the queen came to the town of the emperor, saying that we had occupied the Han Dynasty and could not live for a long time. Besides, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty might come in sometime, so it would be better to withdraw the troops earlier. Only after listening to the advice of the woman, the eighth morning, the soldiers were ordered to withdraw from a passage and let the Han soldiers go out. Liu Bang was surprised and happy, and hurriedly climbed up the horse and escaped from the Hun's encirclement.
The failure of the war on Bai mountaineering was caused by Liu Bang's passing in by the enemy. But objectively speaking, Han Dynasty was just two years after the founding of the people's Republic of China, and the soldiers were weak and lacked horses and did not have the strength to win the Huns.
Liu Bang, who has a good understanding, began to summarize his lessons. He was surrounded by what he escaped. Since the fight, that is to send, not only to send gold, but also to the Central Plains women: and relatives. At first, Liu Bang intended to give her daughter Princess Lu Yuan to Shan Yu. But his wife, Lu, in his main room, was in love with her daughter. He cried repeatedly and asked her husband not to do so. Liu Bang did it. Finally, he chose several palace girls in the back palace to pretend to be princess to Xiongnu, and accompanied with a large number of gold and silver beads. Perfection promoted the first time to make a peace with his relatives.
"The wind is blowing, clouds flying" of Han Gaozu started the "women for peace" of the river, a large number of "Princess" with sad marriage. Since then, the rulers of Han Dynasty have loved peace endlessly. Of course, the victims of the sacrifice on the platform of peace are innocent women.
Even the emperor of Han Wu, who praised by his descendants, was preparing for war and following the provincial policy. And he also makes creative efforts. Not only "women for peace", but also "women for alliances.". In order to defeat Huns, he was prepared to unite with the western region of Wusun. How could he coax Wusun to unite with Han? He used the Han women to blow pillow wind.
The emperor of Han Wu chose a poor Han woman: liuxijun. The fine gentleman was the daughter of Liujian, the king of Jiangdu, and the granddaughter of Liu Fei, the brother of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. As early as 121 BC, the royal family was in a great deal of love. Liu Jian, the father of the prince and his mother, were executed for treachery. The family was also destroyed. Because she was a young girl, she was born with pity from her parents. Although still maintain the status of the royal family, but the royal family's glory and wealth has nothing to do with her. But after all, the prince had royal blood and was born beautiful, so she was chosen as a princess and relative when she was 16.
In 105 BC, the king of Wusun arrived at Chigu City, the capital of Wusun. King Sujiao Mei held a grand wedding to marry him as the "right lady" of the side room. But no more festive scene can dilute the sadness of the king, because the groom has been a man with white hair in his seventies.
Two years later, he died. According to Hu custom, "father dies, wife's mother". The father is dead, and his son can marry his stepmother. But this hunting arrogant is more extreme, leaving a legacy before death, directly passed to grandson, to the fine monarch "ye die sun after", marry his grandson, the new king army must be swept. This is obviously too far away from the moral ethics that the fine gentleman learned from childhood, and it seems that "Incest". The fine monarch refused to die, and wrote about the Han Dynasty asking Emperor Wu to be the master of himself. Although Emperor Wu sympathizes with the mood of the fine monarch, for him, the king's interests will always be placed first. He returned to the book, and asked her to think about the country and act according to the custom of Wusun. The fine gentleman helpless, had to tear obedience again become "the former grandson" army must be swept wife. The old grandma turned into a daughter-in-law.
In the history of the Central Plains Dynasty of the Chinese Han nationality, the harmony between the relatives continued to the Song Dynasty since the Han Dynasty. It has a thousand years of history. Some people praised how great it was to be a policy of peace, but ignored the pain of the married. It can not be said that all the policies of harmony and kinship are humiliating, but the harmony of the Han people in the Central Plains Dynasty really needs to be analyzed.
In my opinion, there are three main types of kinship in the Han Dynasty in Chinese History: the first is "showing good", which means "close to the enemy", and the harmony between Han Dynasty and Hun; the second is "show grace", which takes the initiative. The Princess Wencheng and his relatives in the Tang Dynasty should be of this kind. The emperor of Tang Dynasty did not send his daughter to the king of Tubo to give matsuzhan cloth, and the other party dared not to fight Tang Dynasty; the third was "show suit", but let him enslave. For example, when the two Song dynasties were destroyed by Nuzhen and Mongolia, a large number of Royal concubines "married" to the tribal king as concubines, in fact, they were prisoners of war after the country broke down.
There is no doubt that, in addition to the second, harmony and relatives are harmful to the spirit of a nation, and it is the manifestation of the lack of blood of the nation.
