In the last years of the new dynasty, the sea fell apart and the world was in chaos.

Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, who was still a peasant, took advantage of the situation in Nanyang County to raise troops, and after several victories, the rebel army grew to 9,000 people.

Soon, the imperial court sent 400,000 troops to encircle and suppress, in order to suppress the change of the first regime, Wang Mang sent Huya general Wang Yi to lead 20 troops to resist the enemy, here in addition to the "superman" such as the Big Mac, there is also a super "special force" composed of tigers, lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants and other fierce beasts.

They traveled thousands of miles in a day and 800 at night, and soon arrived in the north of Kunyang City, and the formation they put on was "hundreds of miles of military formation, and they did not see behind them".

Faced with this situation, Han Jun's expression had changed from stunned to frightened, and the chain reaction of panic was overwhelming.

Where to go is a matter of life and death;

What is the plan, the fate hangs by a thread.

Since the army of the Xinmang Dynasty at that time had 430,000, and the Green Forest Army was only more than 17,000, the two armies faced each other, in the face of such a huge disparity in strength, who would have thought that the Green Forest Army, which was less than 20,000 people, would have won a complete victory?

As a result, this battle has inadvertently added a lot of mystery, and many people have talked about what the process of this war looked like?

There is a theory that in order to boost morale, Liu Xiu took thirteen people out of the city overnight and brought in 10,000 reinforcements.

Liu Xiu relied on his geographical advantage to stalemate with the imperial court for a period of time, but he was still unable to return to the sky.

On the eve of the decisive victory in which the imperial army was preparing to besiege the city and win it in one fell swoop, meteors fell from the sky and smashed into the imperial court's barracks, causing them heavy casualties. The ancients were superstitious, and seeing this vision, the morale of the military within the imperial court was shaken, and Liu Xiu took the opportunity to spread rumors, causing hundreds of thousands of troops to collapse.

Is this really the case?

Was the meteorite attack suffered by the army of the new dynasty really a meteorite rain falling from the sky?

Or is it the meteorite technique used by Liu Xiu?

Or is there something else to put it on?

From ancient times to the present, such a large-scale meteorite rain is still at such an opportune time when the two sides are about to go to war, it is really unconvincing.

There would not be such a coincidence, so the meteorite attack on the army of the new dynasty did not come from heaven.

In the record of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there is a special astronomical phenomenon.

Wang Mang sent 420,000 generals to Dasitu Wang Xun and Dasikong Wangyi, known as "millions", to besiege Kunyang dozens of times, and did not accept the surrender request of Wang Feng, the main leader in the city, intending to annihilate the rebel army in the city.

At this time, Liu Xiu was just a partial general, not the commander-in-chief of Kunyang, the enemy was current, everyone else was frightened, only Liu Xiu talked and laughed freely, and everyone accepted Liu Xiu's leadership without anything to do.

Liu Xiu's plan was to let people stick to the city, and he and the other thirteen people went out of the city to seek foreign aid.

That's when the singularity happened:

"There are meteors falling in the camp at night, and clouds are like bad mountains during the day, and they fall when the camp falls, and they don't reach the ground, and the officials are tired of lurking. ”

This bizarre astronomical phenomenon occurred in the camp outside Kunyang City.

What this means is that when a meteor falls into the enemy camp at night, and a cloud falls into the enemy camp during the day, the soldiers of the court feel great terror.

At the same time, Liu Xiu enlisted thousands of reinforcements from outside and also came back, and lined up four or five miles outside the encirclement of Wang Mang's army to face the enemy. An even more ridiculous thing happened, Wang Xun and Wang Yi had an absolute superiority in troops, but they picked a few thousand people to meet Liu Xiu, and the other soldiers were watching from behind.

Liu Xiu rushed into the enemy formation, beheaded dozens of people, and then rushed back and forth several times, winning again and again. Later, Liu Xiu sent 3,000 death squads to attack Wang Xun and Wang Yi's troops with the defenders of Kunyang City, and killed Wang Xun, and the enemy army began to rout.

At this time, another weather spectacle appeared:

Heavy rain fell from the sky, strong winds blow, and the tiles were broken and the trees were broken.

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records that "there will be a strong thunderstorm, the roof tiles will fly, and the rain will fall like a note".

The enemy's position was in chaos, unstoppable, trampled and killed countless times, so the enemy army was almost completely annihilated, and only Wang Yi and a few other generals escaped.

The battle of Kunyang recorded in the Book of Han is compared with the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, saying that Wang Xun and Wang Yi will meet Liu Xiu with ten thousand people, and the rest of the troops have to observe and are not allowed to participate in the battle.

The number of people is more than the "thousands" of the Book of the Later Han.

The most obvious is that there is no astronomical phenomenon of meteorites falling from the sky, and there are also records of heavy storms and rains.

The Tongjian, which was written at the latest, was obviously compiled with reference to the records of the Book of Han and the Book of the Later Han, but it also discarded the record of meteorites falling from the sky.

This shows that Sima Guang is skeptical about this incident.

It also records the extreme weather when Wang Xun and Wang Yi were defeated, that is, heavy storms and rains. Neither the Book of Han nor the Zizhi Tongjian recorded the meteorite meteorite falling from the sky, but there was a record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.

In the astronomical chronicles of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there is such a record: "There are clouds like bad mountains during the day, and the soldiers are tired of falling on the army, and the so-called star of the camp head is also." ”

Chinese history has always focused on recording astronomical and weather phenomena, and believes that all astronomical phenomena are warnings from heaven to human beings, which is the mysterious celestial and human induction.

And some strange astronomical phenomena are attached to some events, meaning to explain that these astronomical signs will bring certain consequences.

Let's take a look at the astronomical explanations of the "Yingtou Star":

"Where the head of the camp fell, there was a fallen army under it, and three thousand miles of blood were shed. ”

This sign means that the army of Wang Mang's regime represented by Wang Xun and Wang Yi will be defeated, and Wang Mang's regime should also perish.

The author of the astronomical chronicles of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty was Sima Biao, a native of the Jin Dynasty, several years earlier than Fan Ye of the Liu Song Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

This shows that the astronomical strangeness at the time of the Battle of Kunyang has been around for a long time, and later there were many "Continuation of Han Books", and it is estimated that this astronomical phenomenon has been recorded.

Many people don't know much about the Battle of Kunyang, how significant is the Battle of Kunyang?

This battle laid the foundation of the Later Han Dynasty and buried Wang Mang's new dynasty, and at the same time, it was an example of winning more with less.

Its importance can be compared to the Battle of Julu at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the three major contemporary battles, Liu Xiu's group won 420,000 in the New Dynasty with 20,000 (far less), and its difficulty coefficient is even more difficult than the Battle of Weishui and the Battle of Chibi.

It is recorded in the Later Han Shu Guangwu Benji:

Just when hundreds of thousands of troops were complacent and ready to besiege the city for reinforcements, "there were meteors falling into the camp at night, and clouds like bad mountains during the day.

First, the meteorite summoning technique, and during the day, he saw that a big mushroom cloud in the sky seemed to be coming down, and the morale of Wang Mangjun's entire army suddenly bottomed out.

Why is it said that Liu Xiu is the son of the plane and Wang Mang is the traverser?

The son of the plane, the chosen one - Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Guangwu

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed to have a grandson, and he was very fond of his grandson.

After the death of Emperor Xuan, Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, and the Wang family ascended to heaven and became the most powerful family of relatives in the late Western Han Dynasty.

Five years later, the Wang family gave birth to a little boy named Wang Mang.

When Wang Mang was born, the Wang family had become a family of relatives second to none.

His aunt was the empress, his uncles took turns to be the Great Sima (commander-in-chief of the national army), and the worst in the clan was also a general or marquis.

Wang Mang's father and brother died very early, but fortunately, his uncles took great care of him.

But it is Wang Mang himself who is really competitive.

At that time, the children of the aristocracy were all indulgent, arrogant and lascivious, and did all kinds of evil.

But Wang Mang devoted himself to studying and lived a simple life.

After the death of his father and brother, he supported his mother and widowed sister-in-law alone, raised his brother's orphans, took care of the elders and uncles in the clan internally, and made friends with celebrities and wise men externally.

Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, such a young man was soon noticed by the whole society and became famous.

Under the influence of fame and family, Wang Mang was elected to the court as an official when he was in his 20s.

After becoming an official, he did not become arrogant, but became more and more humble and simple, and often took out his wealth and property, distributed it to the poor, and gave it to the sages.

The official position is getting higher and higher, the reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows that Wang Mang is the model of the world, and public opinion and public opinion are firmly on his side.

In the first year of the Common Era (the year of Duojili), Wang Mang was named the Duke of Anhan, and since then he has been in power.

He rewarded nobles and officials, supported widows and loneliness, and showed grace to the common people.

He took the lead in living a simple life, contributing millions of dollars and 30 pours of land to help the masses, and all the officials in the DPRK and China followed suit.

In the following year, when there was a national drought, Wang Mang led more than 200 officials to donate their land and homes to the victims, and at the same time built free houses to enable them to live in peace.

To do this, the world calls Wang Mang the saint of the world.

In the eighth year of A.D. (a more auspicious year), Wang Mang successfully accepted the Zen concession of the child, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the name of the country to a new one, which was cheered by the government and the public, and almost no one objected.

On the stage, the initial new emperor looked around with his sword, and his heart was surging.

After fifty years of hard work, I have finally reached the pinnacle of power, and I can finally realize the ideal country of my dreams!

As a result, after ascending the throne, Wang Mang issued a series of bizarre and inexplicably familiar orders:

1. Land is owned by the state and distributed equally.

2. Abolish the slave system.

3. Revise the official system and place names.

4. Planned economy and state-owned enterprise monopoly with government participation.

5. Reform the currency.

6. The government establishes a loan system.

7. Forced labor and elimination of non-laborers.

8. Modify the ancient timekeeping method of 100 minutes a day to a new timekeeping method of 120 minutes a day.

9. Modify the relationship with the surrounding foreign races, especially the destruction of Goguryeo, and change its name to Xiaguryeo......

(I really can't help but want to complain, how much hatred did you have with Korean dramas before?)

Perhaps these reform policies would have succeeded in another time and space, but for China in the early years of the Common Era, they were not practical and caused a great deal of popular resentment.

Moreover, the plane forces have sensed the distortion of history, so since Wang Mang's accession to the throne, natural disasters have continued, people have been displaced, and the original support for Wang Mang has also turned into hatred for Wang Mang.

It's time for the gears of fate to turn, and the true Son of the Plane, the Chosen One, is about to step onto the stage.

The luck of the times is condensed for him, the heroes of the world are gathered because of him, and history will be pulled back to the right track by him.

In 7 BC, Emperor Ai of Han ascended the throne, and Wang Mang was dismissed from his post because he was ostracized by the emperor and the new group of relatives, and lived in seclusion in Xindu.

Three years later, hundreds of officials and hundreds of thousands of civilians marched to protest against Wang Mang's deposition, and Emperor Ai of Han could not resist the pressure and had to re-recruit Wang Mang back to Beijing.

Maybe it was the plane power that found that it was impossible to stop Wang Mang by normal means, so at the same time that Wang Mang returned to Beijing happily, a little boy was born in the Liu family in Nanyang County, and according to legend, the grain in the field had nine ears of grain when he was born, and everyone thought it was a good omen, so they named him Liu Xiu.

Speaking of which, Liu Xiu can also be regarded as a relative of the Han family (just like the later big-eared thief).
