Chapter 253: Today I'm going to talk about the "Great Han"...... (Ask for subscription)
This is, of course, a joke.
How could Chen Fan be this kind of person.
No matter how much money there is, Chen Fan doesn't dare to share it.
Again.
Just won a 100 million yuan, Chen Fan suddenly felt like a tyrant, unspeakably rich.
So.
For the time being, Chen Fan doesn't have much thought about money.
Again.
Chen Fan also wanted to find the Sanxingdui site and shock everyone.
With Professor Zhou and a group of people, it is much easier for him.
So.
After chatting with Professor Zhou, Chen Fan handed over the matter of finding Sanxingdui to Professor Zhou.
As for Chen Fan himself, of course he is very busy.
He had already thought that after the end of his trip to Shudi, he would go to Xinjiang Province.
Yes.
If you want to say that China is beautiful, you don't know how beautiful China is if you don't go to Xinjiang Province.
If you want to say that China is big, you don't know how big China is if you don't go to Xinjiang Province.
As for how big it is.
That is, a Xinjiang province is equivalent to Central Plains Province, Lu Province, Kyoto Province, Wu Province, Hunan Province, Suzhou Province, Shanghai City, Zhejiang Province...... and so on, the 13 regions add up to a larger area. If you choose to take the train, then, after you have been on the train for a long time, you will find that you have not left the province yet.
However, this time Chen Fan went to Xinjiang Province, that is, he did not take a plane or a train, but came on a self-driving tour.
The purpose of self-driving, of course, is to enjoy the scenery along the way in Xinjiang Province.
Almost one could say.
If you come to Xinjiang Province, you can experience the beauty of all regions of China in one place.
Even.
And more.
There is the depression of Tulu over Ayding Lake, which is 155 meters below sea level, and the Qiaogeri Peak, the second highest peak in the world of more than 8,000 meters in the Kunlun Mountains.
There is not only the Yadan landform blown by the thousand-year-old wind and sand, but also the quiet and rich pastoral scenery of the Yili River Valley.
You can see the rippling blue waters of Lake Ulungu, and you can also see the Taklamakan Desert, the largest in China.
And because of this.
Chen Fan, who went to Xinjiang Province for the first time, was greatly shocked by the beauty of Xinjiang Province.
This also made Chen Fan linger and indulge in it for a while.
β¦β¦
"Brother Fan, it seems that the archaeological team of the ancient Shu Kingdom has been formed, and you are still the team leader, why are you not in Shu, why did you go to Xinjiang Province?"
"Oh, is it formed?"
"You don't know?"
"Ah...... Of course I do. β
While driving the car, Chen Fan put his mobile phone on the stand and came to broadcast while driving.
Truly.
The beauty of Xinjiang Province not only surprised Chen Fan, but also shocked a group of fans.
But.
When Chen Fan was live broadcasting, some fans also told Chen Fan about the ancient Shu Kingdom.
Chen Fan didn't pay much attention to the problems in Sanxingdui.
Anyway, as long as he hasn't found it, he doesn't need Chen Fan to do anything.
He can travel here to his heart's content.
"Then why are you still traveling?"
"You guys, the pattern is low."
Chen Fan said with a smile: "As the team leader, do I still have to run to dig the ground and move bricks like ordinary archaeological team members?" β
"Uh, even if you don't want to, you should go to Shudi, what are you doing in Xinjiang Province?"
"Now that technology is so advanced, I've been commanding remotely."
"You also command remotely, Brother Fan, you are too good to be a hands-off shopkeeper."
"What kind of hands-off shopkeeper, archaeology is not a job of driving an excavator, just shoveling against the soil. He needs a lot of investigation, scientific research, countless certifications, perseverance, and unwavering faith......"
"Okay, Brother Fan, you're so right, don't say it in the future."
"Poof......
Chen Fan was also amused by these guys: "Okay, let's be honest, in fact, the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom are really not so easy to find." I had already made a search plan, and in addition, Oriental TV approached me and said that he wanted me to do a program about the Han Dynasty. β
"Han Dynasty?"
"Yes."
"Isn't the capital of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an and Luoyang, what are you doing in Xinjiang Province?"
"Of course I'm coming to Xinjiang Province."
Chen Fan nodded: "Here, it is the place where the great Han shows his majesty." β
"Brother Fan, are you talking about the Han Dynasty's recovery of the Western Regions?"
"You can say that, but it's not that simple."
Chen Fan said: "At that time, the Western Regions were not under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, the territory of the Han Dynasty was relatively small. Even, at the beginning of its establishment, the Han Dynasty was always threatened by the Xiongnu in the north. At the same time, many countries in the Western Regions have also been subservient to the Xiongnu. In order to deal with the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a man named Zhang Qian to an envoy to a country called the Dayue clan in the Western Regions. β
"The country of the Otsuki Clan?"
It is the first time that many people have heard of this country called the Otsuki clan.
For the Han Dynasty.
Although they knew that the Han Dynasty was strong and recovered the Western Regions.
But they are not very clear about how to recover the Western Regions.
Not only are they not very clear, but they are also not very clear about the situation on this side of the Western Regions.
What Chen Fan wants to talk about today, in addition to talking about the Han Dynasty, will also focus on the Western Regions.
"The Da Yue clan is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, in addition to the Da Yue clan, the Western Regions also have Qiuzi, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, Jingjue, Jimo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Mi, Qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Shache, Shule, Weitou, Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, Wu Greed, Beilu Houguo, Shan Huan, Pu, Pu Houguo, Xijimi, Robbery Country, Huhu, Mountain Country, Cheshi Qianguo, Cheshi Houguo, Cheshi Weidu Kingdom, Cheshi Houcheng State and other countries. In addition, there are Wusun, Dawan, Anxi, Kangju, Kokand, Kanjuti, Wuyi Shanli and so on......"
Of course.
It is said that it is the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
But later, after years of conquest, the 36 countries became more than 50 countries.
The Great Moon Clan was one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions that year.
"I grass, there are so many countries in the Western Regions."
"Loulan, exquisite, Wusun...... I seem to have heard of these things, but I don't have any impressions of the others. β
"Sister, it's over, and I was attracted to Brother Fan again."
I have to say.
For people who don't have much concept of the Western Regions, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions mentioned by Chen Fan immediately attracted everyone's interest.
After all.
They felt that there was some mystery in the Western Regions.
In many cases, they know the name of the Western Regions.
But they don't know what happened in the Western Regions.
At this time, Chen Fan said.
Just like hunting for curiosity, it slowly unveiled the mystery of the Western Regions, which made them excited.
"Because the Da Yue clan and the Xiongnu are feuding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wants to unite the Da Yue clan to deal with the Xiongnu. However, before Zhang Qian came to the place of Da Yue, he was caught by the Huns. But although the Xiongnu were powerful, the strength of the Han Dynasty was also terrifying. Therefore, the Huns at that time did not want to kill Zhang Qian, but put him under house arrest. In order for him to join the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu also gave Zhang Qian a wife. β
In this way, Zhang Qian was placed under house arrest by the murderous slave for 10 years. Once, Zhang Qian found an opportunity and fled from the Xiongnu. Because in the past ten years, Zhang Qian learned the Xiongnu language, and was also familiar with the geographical shape of the Western Regions, and even wore the clothes of the Hu people. Therefore, this time Zhang Qian was not discovered by the Huns. But unfortunately, after more than ten years, the situation on this side of the Western Regions has changed very much. β
"Wusun, the enemy of the Otsuki clan, was instigated by the Huns and defeated the Otsuki clan. The Otsuki clan had no choice but to keep fleeing westward. Therefore, when Zhang Qian originally found the homeland of the Da Yue clan, he found that the Da Yue clan was no longer there. It was later learned that they fled farther west, where they established their state. For this reason, Zhang Qian went all the way to the west, constantly looking for the Da Yue clan. β
But the Da Yue clan didn't find it, and halfway through, Zhang Qian found another country, Dawan (Yuan). This is a country that produces famous horses, so Zhang Qian told King Dawan that he wanted to find the Dayue clan. And I hope that Dawan can send people to protect him all the way, if Zhang Qian returns to the Han Dynasty at that time. I will definitely show it to the Emperor Han and thank him with a generous gift. β
"King Dawan had long heard about the wealth of the Han Dynasty in the East, and he wanted to communicate with the Han Dynasty, but he was hindered by the Xiongnu and failed to achieve it. Zhang Qian's unexpected arrival made him very happy and even more tempting. So he agreed to Zhang Qian's request, and after warm hospitality, he sent guides and interpreters to send Zhang Qian and others to Kangju, and finally, after resting in Kangju for a period of time, he found Da Yue's family. β
A wave of incomparably twists and turns on the road to the mission made everyone listen to it with relish.
It was the first time they had heard the story of Zhang Qian's envoy to the Da Yue clan in the Han Dynasty.
At the same time.
While Chen Fan talked about Zhang Qian's envoy to the Dayue Clan, Chen Fan also further explained the situation on this side of the Western Regions at that time.
Suddenly.
Everyone not only learned about the situation of the Han Dynasty at that time, but also about the land, environment, and historical background of the Western Regions...... There is also a general impression.
"It's just that although I found the Otsuki Clan, for more than ten years, the country of the Otsuki Clan has been completely different from the previous situation. Before, they were very close to the powerful Wusun and Xiongnu, so they have been bullied by Wusun and Huns. And this time, after they fled westward, they defeated the Great Xia Kingdom. And occupy their land, which is very fertile and rich, and very far away from the two world enemies, the Otsutsuki clan has changed their attitude, and they don't want to take revenge. In the end, the Da Yue clan told Zhang Qian that the Da Yue clan was too far away from the Han Dynasty. If they joined forces with the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu, then their Dayue clan would encounter danger, and the Han Dynasty would not have time to rescue them. The Otsuki clan refused to cooperate with the Han Dynasty. β
Although Zhang Qian stayed in the Da Yue clan for more than a year, he did not persuade the Da Yue clan in the end. In the end, there was no way, Zhang Qian planned to return to China. On the way back, Zhang Qian didn't want to pass through the territory of the Huns, for fear of being caught by the Huns again. Then he chose a road to the south, so Zhang Qian passed through the country of Shache, Khotan, and Shanshan...... Surprisingly, these countries have also become vassals of the Xiongnu in the past few years. As a result, Zhang Qian was arrested again. β
"But luckily, a few years later, there was a rebellion within the Xiongnu. Zhang Qian took advantage of the chaos and returned to the Han Dynasty with his wife. When the news of Zhang Qian's return reached the ears of Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han was extremely shocked. Because for more than ten years, there has been no news of Zhang Qian, and he still thought that Zhang Qian had sent the murderous slave to die. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian not only did not die, but returned to the Han Dynasty more than ten years later. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy about Zhang Qian's return, so he named Zhang Qian as a doctor in Taizhong, in recognition of his achievements in his homeland despite being a fierce slave for more than ten years. β
Speaking of this, Chen Fan stopped.
Then.
Some fans asked: "Brother Fan, this seems to be another Su Wu shepherd, but Zhang Qian is before Su Wu." β
"Hehe, on the surface it looks like yes."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Judging from the experiences of the two, they are indeed very similar.
Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, was arrested, and then imprisoned for more than ten years, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty.
Su Wu also went to the Western Regions, was arrested, imprisoned for nearly 20 years, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty.
Judging from the time when he was captured by the Huns, Su Wu surpassed Zhang Qian.
Because Su Wu is 19 years, almost 20 years.
Zhang Qian is only 13 years old.
But.
If you want to talk about merit, ten Su Wu can't compare to one Zhang Qian.
Su Wu came back from the Xiongnu, and the most proof was his integrity.
And Zhang Qian's return not only proves his integrity, but more powerfully, Zhang Qian's return gave the Han Dynasty the ambition to conquer the Western Regions.
Subsequently, Chen Fan explained: "Although Zhang Qian's envoy did not convince the Dayue clan this time, he stayed in the Western Regions for more than ten years. Moreover, this also gave him a very deep understanding of the Xiongnu and the Western Regions. It was precisely because of Zhang Qian's return that the Han Dynasty truly realized the Western Regions. This made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty discover that the Western Regions were not completely controlled by the Xiongnu. It turns out that there are so many countries in the Western Regions, and there are also a series of contradictions in the countries of the Western Regions. It turned out that the Western Regions were living a very hard time, and they longed for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty very much......"
"And that's not all. After Zhang Qian returned to the Han Dynasty, he learned about the country of rest from these countries in the Western Regions, which is now the country of Persia, the country of great food, the current country of Yirak, the country of body poison, and the country of Tianzhu...... The situation in some of these countries. And he wrote a detailed report on what he had learned. In this report, Zhang Qian is interested in West Asia, Central Asia, Persia, and Tianzhu...... The local specialties, population, cities, troops, and customs of these countries...... And so on, the most reliable record was made. β
Chen Fan's explanation.
In an instant, the entire live broadcast room boiled all at once.
β¦β¦
"I'm grass, Zhang Qian's envoy to the Huns still has this role."
"Just now I was thinking that Zhang Qian and Su Wu are almost the same, but I didn't expect that just this credit will be enough to beat Su Wu."
"This is the first person to open his eyes to the world."
In the excitement of everyone, Chen Fan continued: "It is precisely because of Zhang Qian's detailed information about the Western Regions that in 119 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions. But unlike the first time, the first time was mainly to unite the Otsutsuki clan. But this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty no longer wanted to unite the Dayue clan, but wanted to unite Wusun, and even wanted to persuade Wusun to return to his homeland. However, this is not the most important purpose. The most important purpose, in addition to wanting to unite Wusun, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to use this envoy to promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty. β
Therefore, for this mission, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Zhang Qian to bring more than 300 attachΓ©s, and carried countless gold and silver treasures, as well as a series of advanced technology and craft products of the Han Dynasty. Affected by this, the 36 countries of the Western Regions made friends with the Han Dynasty one after another, and also sent envoys to pay a return visit. And when the envoys of the 36 countries of the Western Regions came to the Han Dynasty, seeing that the Han Dynasty was so powerful and prosperous, they strengthened their confidence in uniting the Han Dynasty to fight against the Xiongnu. β
"For example, Wusun Kingdom. The original Wusun Kingdom was controlled by fierce slaves, but when they found out that the Han Dynasty was powerful, King Wusun directly wanted to make peace with the Han Dynasty. Another example is the Dawan country, which is rich in famous horses. What the Han lacked was horses, which also made the Han lose from time to time in the previous battles with the Xiongnu. In Zhang Qian's information, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found that there were many famous horses of the Xiongnu who came out of Dawan. Immediately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set out to conquer Dawan and defeated the Dawan army. Eventually, Dawan paid tribute to the Han Dynasty with more than 3,000 war horses. β
"And that's not all. When the countries of the Western Regions found that the Han Dynasty had even defeated Dawan, all of a sudden, the countries of the Western Regions took the initiative to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty and sent a series of princes and nobles to the Han Dynasty as hostages to show their allegiance to the Han Dynasty. It was not until after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions. From then on, the Western Regions were officially incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty. At this point, the Han Dynasty was ...... in the world"
These are Zhang Qian's two missions to the Western Regions.
His influence should be incomparable to that of the envoys of any dynasty.
"My mother, Brother Fan, I was wrong, where is Zhang Qian Su Wu, even 10 Su Wu, 100 Su Wu is not as good as Zhang Qian."
"Understood, I finally understood. It turned out that the inclusion of the Western Regions in the territory of the Han Dynasty was due to Zhang Qian's two envoys to the Western Regions. β
"Awesome, Zhang Qian opened his eyes to the world, so that the Han Dynasty really stood on the top of the world."
A group of fans suddenly hit the chicken.
If the Song Dynasty was cowardly, then the Han Dynasty was so domineering.
It's just that although everyone also knew that the Han Dynasty was very powerful, it also subdued the Western Regions.
But in this, everyone does not have a big idea of the subjugation of the Han Dynasty.
This is equivalent to knowing that the Yuan Dynasty was very powerful.
But specifically, do you know how the Yuan Dynasty became strong?
How did the Yuan Dynasty expand step by step?
I don't know any of this.
But now.
Chen Fan named a person named "Zhang Qian".
This allowed everyone to see the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the strength of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that.
Just when everyone was extremely excited, Chen Fan said again: "Everyone is calm, calm." β
"Brother Fan, you can't be calm."
"If you don't calm down, you have to calm me down...... Because, I'm not done yet. β
"Ah, and?"
"Of course."
Chen Fan nodded and said again: "Zhang Qian's two envoys to the Western Regions not only allowed the Han Dynasty to include the Western Regions in its territory. Moreover, Dahan will also have its own advanced craft products, such as silk, tea, sugar, silk, porcelain, paper, gold and silver, silk fabrics, ironware...... It also spread from the Western Regions to some Western countries such as Persia, Tianzhu, and Rome. And the Western countries also passed through the Western Regions, and their cotton, grapes, carrots, spices, and high-quality horses were brought over there...... And so on, it reached the Great Han. Because of the strong national strength and abundant products of the Han Dynasty, under the influence of this, the Han Dynasty and a series of Western countries started from Chang'an, passed through the Western Regions, reached Central Asia and West Asia, and connected the Mediterranean countries, opening up an incomparably prosperous trade route. β
"For thousands of years, countless merchants from the East and the West have followed this route to trade with China one after another. This not only promoted the economy and prosperity of the East and the West, but also promoted the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures. Because silk was the most popular item in this trade route. Therefore, this trade route is also called the Silk Road ......"
