Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions
The silk road was not intended for peace, but war
As we all know, the silk road is a road of peace and trade. But Zhang Qian opened up the Silk Road at the beginning, but not for peace, but for war. Moreover, the war was the war that the emperor of Han Wu wanted to launch.
When the Han Dynasty was founded, it was not peaceful, and the North was seriously threatened by Huns. Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty's great ancestor, conquered Xiangyu and wanted to eliminate the Hun at one stroke. What he didn't expect was that the Tang Han Dynasty was not the enemy of Hun. Liu Bang, the Han Emperor, was almost captured alive. If the beauty had not been able to make Xiongnu retreat, it would be hard to say what the National Games of Han Dynasty would fall into. "The white Deng encirclement" frightened Liu Bang, so Han Dynasty began a half century "harmony" policy. The princess of Han Dynasty married Hun Suyu, which was actually a product of humiliation.
Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions
After the rule of culture and scenery, the national strength of Han Dynasty gradually rose. When Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty came, this ancient emperor in Chinese history could not bear it any more. He was determined to fight Xiongnu with force and no longer bear the humiliation of "harmony". When Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty heard that there was a great moon state and Hun in the western region were enemies, a plan was born in the mind of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He decided to unite the Dayue family and strike north and south to solve the Hun's troubles with one stroke.
At that time, there was no mobile phone, no telephone, no telegram, only two legs to contact. The emperor of Han Wu decided to send someone to contact the king of Dayue. This is a road of uncertain future. He did not know how many thousand miles to the west, and there were Xiongnu countries famous for cruelty. Those who dare to carry out this task are heroes whether they can finish their tasks.
At this time Zhang Qian took the initiative to sign up for the implementation of the plan, becoming a hero of the Han Dynasty in that era.

Zhang Qian is a very courageous man. He guides the Tang Dynasty father of a Hun, a pro Han nationality, and the followers of more than 100 people go in and out to the West in a great way. As a result, as soon as they entered the Hun territory, they were captured by Huns soldiers. Fortunately, Zhang Qian was not killed by Huns, and he did not know which kind heart the Huns had moved. He married Zhang Qian and gave birth to him, trying to assimilate the Han hero into Hun. Zhang Qian was in this ten years, but he was thinking about the Han Dynasty all the time, always keeping in mind his mission. Finally, when the Huns relaxed their guard, he and his cousin escaped from Xiongnu and made their way to the greater moon family in the far distance.
But ten years later, Dayue was different from the national conditions of Dayue ten years ago. The king changed, and his national strength was weak. He never wanted to fight again and didn't want to revenge. They were beaten by Huns, even with the strong Han Dynasty cooperation dare not try. Zhang Qian had to return to Han Dynasty, but unfortunately, when he passed by Hun, he was captured again, and this was another year. A year later, Zhang Qian escaped from Xiongnu, 13 years since he left Chang'an.
To win the Huns, it is not Wei Qing and huoquyi who have made the first contribution, but Zhang Qian
Although Zhang Qian did not complete the task of United Dayue, he brought the customs and customs and geographical characteristics of the western regions to the emperor of Han Wu. At that time, only the sphere of influence, and no clear state boundary between the countries as it is now. And Han Dynasty regarded himself as the kingdom of heaven and son. Under the heaven, it was not the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the king minister. Zhang Qian's introduction made Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty open his eyes. In addition to the Han Dynasty, there were so many countries in the West. The "Da Qin" country, which is ten thousand miles away, is the ancient Roman Empire in European history, and it is a great country that is in line with the Han Dynasty. Zhang Qian inspired the ambition of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to open up his territory.

It can be said that the emperor of Han Dynasty decided to attack Xiongnu actively. Besides the shame before a snow and no longer implementing the policy of peace and relatives, the heart of opening up territory was also one of the main reasons. Zhang Qian was the one who inspired the ambition of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The world is so big that no emperor thinks there is little territory. Later Genghis Khan sent four sons to fight more than half the world, which is the most convincing proof. The emperor of Han Dynasty is brilliant, and naturally, it is no exception. Huns were the first goal of the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Although Zhang Qian did not complete the mission of United Dayue, the information he brought back became the best information for Han Dynasty to understand Xiongnu. It is difficult to win a war without moving a horse or horse, leading to intelligence, without good information and knowing his or her confidant.

It can be said that without the information of Xiongnu and other countries in the western region brought back by Zhang Qian, it is also difficult for Wei Qing and huoquyi to win the war. Weiqing and huoquyi can defeat Xiongnu greatly. It is Zhang Qian who is not the one who has made the first contribution.
Zhang Qian became ambassador for peace because of the Silk Road
Zhang Qian once sent to the western region three times. For the first time, he became a prisoner of Hun for ten years, but he understood the customs and customs of the western regions. With the first experience and lessons, Zhang Qian, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, sent Zhang Qian to the western region again, with two purposes. One is to return the Wusun state, which is in contradiction with the Hun state, to break the right arm of Hun; the other is to promote the power of the Great Han Dynasty and make the western regions submit to the Han Dynasty. This time, Zhang Qian's team was more than 300 people, gold coins, silk and silk, and thousands of cattle and sheep. Zhang Qian, who was the second envoy to the western region, still failed to complete the task of returning to his hometown. However, his deputy envoy visited Dawan, Kangju, Dayue and Daxia, and publicized the national power of the Han Dynasty.

The third time he was sent to the western region, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty followed Zhang Qian's advice and opened up the southwest countries. Zhang Qian, from Sichuan, was sent by the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to go to Qinghai, Tibet and Yunnan to reach the "poisoned" line, which is ancient India. Zhang Qian did not complete the task, and the team sent back without arriving in India.
Zhang Qian, who had been sent to the western region three times, did not complete the task assigned to him by the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. He was a guide to Weiqing and huoquill to clean up Huns. Once he missed time and was abandoned to the common people. But the significance of his mission to the western region was far greater than that given to him by the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions
Zhang Qian's life, in the road of hollowing out the western regions, three times to travel to the country to more than 30. With Zhang Qian, China only knew the western countries except China. With Zhang Qian, China's silk and ceramics are sold to the West continuously. Therefore, China is also called "cyris" by the western countries, and the Chinese are also called the cyris people. Cyris means silk. The Western sweaty horses, grapes, alfalfa, pomegranate and jute also flow to China. Zhang Qian has no heart to insert willows into the shade and become a matchmaker for cultural exchanges between China and the West. Although his mission is the purpose of war, because of the obedience of western countries, he becomes "ambassador of peace". Many countries have made good wishes to Han Dynasty because of Zhang Qian, and the influence of Han Dynasty was spread far away from Zhang Qian.
