Chapter Twenty-Three: Expansion of Akiti Castle
Chigu City, the capital of Wusun State, was built in 161 BC, and Wusun's national strength was limited at the beginning of the establishment of the capital, and both the scale and economic development were far inferior to the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty.
In 140 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to unite the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu, and appointed Zhang Qian as an envoy to go to the Western Regions to explore the local situation.
Zhang Qian finally fulfilled his mission after all the hardships, except for the dangerous Huns who did not dare to go, and almost all the situation in the entire Western Regions was understood. Because Zhang Qian is really a person, even if he is incognito, it is difficult to hide his edge, and the glory of gold still blooms in the yellow sand, and the princes and nobles of the Western Regions soon discovered this capable man, and they were all proud to be friends with him, and regarded him as a guest.
It didn't take long for the Huns to notice Zhang Qian's existence, although they hadn't figured out his details yet, but with the Huns' style, whether they were friends or enemies, they had to be caught first. Isolated Zhang Qian where is the opponent of the Hun Eagle Claw, after being captured, he pretended to flatter and took the opportunity to escape, on the way back to the Han Dynasty, he was captured by the group of Eagle Claws, this time he was directly brought back to the Huns, and the Hun Shan Yu also married him to the local people as wives. But Zhang Qian still adhered to the customs of the Han people, and even if his wife gave birth to a son, it did not shake his determination to return to the Han Dynasty.
It wasn't until the Xiongnu united with Hunt Jiaomi to attack the Dayue clan that Zhang Qian had a chance to escape, and after returning to the Han Dynasty, he told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty what he had seen and heard in the Western Regions, and expounded his views.
Zhang Qian pointed out that the Western Regions have great potential for development in a vast area, and if the advanced technology of the Central Plains can be transmitted to the past, the exchanges between the Central Plains and the countries of the Western Regions can be promoted, and the Han culture will be spread, which will inevitably bring incalculable benefits to the Han Dynasty.
The Dayue clan was defeated, and Emperor Wu of Han's plan to attack the Xiongnu was put on hold, and Zhang Qian's proposal gave him hope again. It's not clear how much the benefits will be, but it's a viable proposition.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the kind of person who did what he thought of, and if he didn't have this courage, he would not have become the emperor of the ages in Chinese history. As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only promoted Zhang Qian to an official, but also achieved the world-famous "Silk Road".
Zhang Qian led a mighty team to the Western Regions again, this time, Zhang Qian mastered the geography, products and customs of the Western Regions, and made a non-negligible contribution to the later victory of Wei Qing.
Because of the good relationship with the princes and princes before, Zhang Qian was very comfortable in Dawan, Kangju, Daxia, Qiuzi and other countries, these small countries in the Western Regions have long been oppressed by the Xiongnu, they yearn for the prosperity of the country and the strong Han Dynasty, if they can form an alliance with the Han is also a good choice.
It was not difficult for Zhang Qian to convince these small states, but he valued Wusun the only one who could compete with the Xiongnu. However, Wusun Kunmo was arrogant and remembered the kindness of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, turned a blind eye to Zhang Qian's overtures, and refused to see the Han envoy several times, but always refused to give Zhang Qian a chance.
Hunting arrogant attitude is resolute, Zhang Qian is not an ordinary person who gives up easily, he expected that Hunting arrogant will not be willing to submit to the Huns, otherwise he would not have rebuilt Wusun at the beginning. As long as the monarch has ideals and aspirations, he will devote himself wholeheartedly to the strength of the country, and will not tolerate the people being oppressed again.
The Xiongnu have always been the overlords of the Western Regions, and the slave owners of the Xiongnu were fierce and cruel, especially to the people of these small countries around them, and the degree of oppression was quite cruel.
As the king of a country, the only thing that can be guaranteed by hunting arrogance is Chigu City, the capital of the country, and other tribes are still in dire straits, and they may be annexed by the Xiongnu at any time. Hunting Jiaomi knew very well in his heart that the Hun Lao Shan Yu would not kill him in the past, but the Hun royal family had a deep grudge against him, and if he passed away in the future, I am afraid that no one would be able to control this situation.
Wusun is in danger, and Hunt Jiaomi is naturally worried, Zhang Qian saw this point, and every time he sent envoys, he took the theme of the country's wealth and the people's strength, and asked them to take turns to brainwash Hunt Jiaomi.
The hard work paid off, and the hunting arrogance began to loosen, and he became interested in the indomitable Zhang Qian, and finally agreed to meet him.
How to persuade Hunter Arrogance, Zhang Qian has already thought of hundreds of plans, the key is to let him see the hope of Wusun to become strong, and realize that only when he is strong can he have the capital to fight against others.
Hunting Jiaomi and Zhang Qian hated to see each other late, Zhang Qian was simply his confidant, Hunting Jiaomi was afraid of offending the Huns, so he didn't dare to come openly, and secretly sent a messenger to Dahan to take a trip.
Zhang Qian was already ill from hard work at that time, and in order to promote the marriage between Wusun and the Han Dynasty, he personally brought Wusun's envoy back to Chang'an City. The envoy of Wusun was extremely well received, there was good wine and food to enjoy every day, and every night there was a beautiful woman of Xianle, and the prosperity of Chang'an City left a deep impression on the envoy, and he didn't even want to go back.
Of course, this is just to think about it, the envoy of Wusun is still very conscientious, after he returned to Wusun, he did not hesitate to praise words, and portrayed the Han as a fairyland on earth, a super power more than 100 times stronger than the Huns.
Hunting Jiaomi was very excited, imagining the beautiful blueprint that Zhang Qian had drawn for him, and at the same time he was afraid that the marriage between Wusun and the Han would anger the Xiongnu and cause death.
Knowing that Zhang Qian died of illness, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his arrogance, like-minded confidants were separated by heaven and man, and he didn't even have a friend to talk to in the future.
In this way, there was no such thing as kissing, until the Xiongnu's provocation on the Wusun border gradually escalated, and Hunt Jiaomi made up his mind, and asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to marry Emperor Wu with a thousand good horses as a dowry, and successfully married the versatile princess Xijun.
Since then, Hunter Jiaomi has been bent on prospering Wusun and expanding Akatani Castle, but he passed away before his wish was fulfilled, and Princess Hosojun also remarried Hunt's grandson Jun Sumi according to tradition.
Inheriting his grandfather's wishes, Jun Sumi accepted the advice of the Han Dynasty to develop agriculture and textiles, and despite repeated protests from the elders and nobles, he still resisted the pressure and persevered. It was in this situation that Weng Guimi stood on Jun Sumi's side, and whenever someone raised an objection, he would come forward to solve it on behalf of Jun Sumi.
In the long run, the relationship between Jun Xu Mi and this cousin has become closer and closer, and he can listen to what Weng Guimi says, even if Xu Qige hates Weng Guimi to death, he doesn't dare to do anything to him.
After years of preparation, the plan for the expansion of Akaya Castle was finally put on the table, and the elders and nobles felt that he was in a bit of a hurry to do so, but after all, this was the last wish of the previous king, and it was not easy for them to interfere directly. The forces supporting and opposing the DPRK and China accounted for half of the total, and Jun Sumi was so worried about this matter that he often consulted with Weng Guimi, and the discussion lasted all night.
The atmosphere in the DPRK and China was tense, no matter how stupid Su Qige was, he didn't dare to find trouble at this time, Liu Ye was really relaxed for a while. The agricultural group and the silkworm group on the mountain are progressing smoothly and on the right track, Zhao Sheng has also cultivated a group of backbone elements, and Liu Ye basically doesn't have to take care of it every day.
Now, she spends most of her time taking care of the young husband, teaching her Chinese and Han customs, and also teaching her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The young husband grew up very quickly under Liu Ye's careful care, smarter and more lively than the children on the grassland, and her best playmate was Zhao Sheng's son Zhao Ziqing, and the two recited poetry together when they had nothing to do.
Zhao Ziqing is a little talent, according to him, he will memorize the Book of Poetry when he is five years old, Liu Ye does not believe that the "Book of Songs" has collected more than 300 poems, not to mention how old the child is, and adults with high IQ may not be able to recite them all. When she first entered the palace, the tunes that Li Yannian and Shizhong asked her to sing were accompanied by the poems inside.
But Zhao Ziqing's kid doesn't seem to be bragging, what kind of big and small elegant national style, he talks about the Tao, and it is more enjoyable to listen to than a hundred pulpits.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, gentleman is good......"
Who wouldn't know this paragraph, courtship classics! Liu Ye smiled proudly, and was about to tell them the meaning, when Zhao Ziqing had already turned to "Ge Zhi Qinxi, Shi in the Middle Valley, Wei Ye Ming, Yellow Bird in Fei, Gathered in the bushes, and its chirping".
This passage is not mistaken, it should be the second chapter of the Book of Songs, "Ge Tan", which talks about a woman who is preparing to return to her parents' house to visit her parents after finishing her work. Liu Ye was just about to open his mouth to explain to the young man that Huang Li was calling, and Zhao Ziqing had already begun to memorize the next paragraph.
"Picking and curling ears, not full of baskets, sighing I am pregnant, putting them around the ......"
Well, this is the "Curly Ear" that misses Zhengfu!
"There is a tree in the south, a tree in the south, a gentleman of music, and a ...... of blessing and sui"
Is this the "樛木" that wishes people happiness?
"Bi Bi Xiaoxing, Sanwu is in the East ......"
This is......
"Pilgrimage to the west, worship the rain ......"
……
Liu Ye was speechless, this little boy is too good, this is not a little genius, but a big genius! Could it be that the children of ancient times were so bullish? Is it possible to go to the Spring Festival Gala just by pulling one back to modern times?
Zhao Ziqing is no longer endorsing, he took the young man's hand, and the two danced and sang songs, the "Book of Songs" seemed to grow out of his stomach, and he didn't want to blurt it out.
Well, she admits defeat and worships countless seniors who have crossed over, did you bring a laptop or iPad when you crossed?
