Extra3 Disputes
Later generations called the 50 years of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen's reign as the pre-prosperous era, which was the beginning of the three prosperous eras of Great Qin.
All the heights achieved by Great Qin came from this era.
Emperor Wen died, and the Great Qin Empire also experienced the first round of ups and downs, and a new generation of scholars and heroes were restored, and after half a century of hibernation, they began to rise again and compete for military and political power.
The new emperor was young, and his power fell into the hands of the five ordinary scholars of the empire.
Yang Xu's level of governing the country is excellent, but the level of choosing a son is much inferior.
The new monarch Yang Che, when he was the prince, was well-behaved and studious, but after ascending the throne, he began to show the potential of the faint monarch, and his interest in women was far greater than that of the court and politics.
is a good woman, and naturally she also likes to build a lot of buildings.
Daxing City was expanded again, 300,000 people were requisitioned to build Lishan Palace, and Wuwa Hall was built in the southern capital Jianye, and the Jiangnan women's golden house was collected......
The national power of the Great Qin Empire was also being consumed at an alarming rate.
Therefore, it is rumored that the emperor was the reincarnation of Sima Yan back then, and he specially came to plague the rivers and mountains of Great Qin.
It was also at this time that the once sunken warrior clan re-emerged, and the rule of Great Qin began to rot.
After seven years of scourge of Great Qin, Zhang Jun, who was seventy years old, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and united with several other Pingshang scholars to depose Yang Che as the Marquis of Chengdu, and re-establish Yang Fan, the fourth son of Emperor Wen, as the new emperor.
But this emperor was even more mediocre and had no interest in political affairs.
During the fifteen years of his reign, the Mobei Rouran people re-emerged, threatening the borders of the empire, and once invaded Monan, plundering tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
Fortunately, the army of the Great Qin Empire still maintained the bravery of decades ago, the veteran Beigong Chun was in command, 30,000 Chinese troops plus 40,000 soldiers from Monan, Beihai broke the Rouran people in a battle, killed more than 20,000 people, captured more than 8,000 people, and obtained 200,000 cattle and sheep.
Peace was once again won on the borders of the Empire.
After experiencing the mediocrity of the two emperors of Chengduan and Qin Qin, Great Qin gradually slipped from the prosperous era.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the resurgence of the noble clan began to speculate in order to obtain greater political benefits, and the Great Qin Empire broke out to seize the heirs.
Countless capable ministers and strategists will be involved in it.
The internal friction in the empire became unprecedentedly serious, the local masters were superficial, and the Caofu on the canal did not look at the oppression, and a great rebellion broke out that swept the Central Plains, Huainan, and Jiangdong.
Locally, the kings of Qi, Zhao, and Jing followed closely behind, issuing slogans from the Qing monarch's side, and marching from Shandong, Hebei, and Jingxiang to Guanzhong.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and disasters and blessings depend on them.
From the seven sons of the heir to kill the Qin Xuan Emperor Yang Hibiscus, but unexpectedly it was an iron-blooded monarch, everyone at the time called it the style of the martial emperor, as soon as he ascended the throne, he got the military power from the hands of Ping Shang Shushi.
Despite more than 20 years of corrosion, the Chinese army still maintains a fairly strong combat power because of the continuous blood transfusion of low-level soldiers.
The seventy-year-old veteran Tao Kan was activated, and he quickly quelled the Caofu rebellion, and then went south to resist King Jing.
Then he used the famous general Zhou Xi, the son of Zhou Chu, to command 20,000 elites to enter Huainan to stabilize the canal arteries of the empire and attract the troops of the king of Qi.
Bai Tao Kan, Zhou Xi's outstanding performance, in the most dangerous time to resist the onslaught of Shandong and Jingxiang, Emperor Yang Jin freed his hand, led 30,000 elite Chinese troops to the north, with the fierce general Duan Wenyang as the forward, broke the 100,000 army of King Zhao, and captured King Yang Mu of Zhao in a battle, Hebei was pacified, and the world was shaken.
Subsequently, Yang Jin led the victorious army south to Shandong, and the troops of the king of Qi saw the emperor's banner and surrendered one after another.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the king of Qi set himself on fire with his family.
The north was pacified, and Yang Hao, the king of Jing in the south, was isolated and helpless, so he had to surrender with his hands tied, and his family was deposed as a concubine and sent to northern Liao.
Emperor Xuan Yang Hibiscus not only inherited Emperor Wu's military talents, but also inherited Emperor Wen's statecraft.
In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of the empire, he reorganized the land and population of the whole country, eliminated the mediocre officials, suppressed the powerful and powerful, restored the mausoleum system of the Han Dynasty, and moved the noble and powerful people of the world to Huangling to guard the mausoleum for Emperor Wu Yang Zheng.
As a result, Huangling became the richest city in the world.
All kinds of means have made Great Qin's national strength rise again.
However, at this time, a new empire also arose in Central Asia, the Han state.
No one expected that the seemingly powerful Xia Kingdom would be defeated in the Hanxia hegemony.
Of course, the victory of Han is also the choice of Central Asian countries.
The Xia State was born with the Qiang bloodline, which was denounced as barbarians by all parts of Central Asia, who regarded the Chinese blood as greater than the sky, and firmly believed that the Han State was orthodox.
There were a total of 37 countries in Central Asia plus the Western Regions, and they only united around the Han State, and repeatedly fought with the powerful Xia State for 37 years.
Even Sassanid and Rome were involved.
Central Asia has become a wrestling ground for three civilizations.
Until the rise of the third Han king Yang Yan, under his governance, the Han turned economic strength into war strength, and wantonly used the Liangjiazi of Hezhong and the Western Regions as generals.
It is not so much that Xia Guo was defeated in national strength, but rather in talent reserves.
In the battle of medicine and water, the death battalion composed of 5,000 good families, wearing heavy armor, carrying long lances and crossbows, formed a formation with their backs, and broke 40,000 Xia cavalry.
This battle once again refreshed the image of the Sassanid and Roman army on the Qin army.
It turned out that the Qin army was not only invincible in iron cavalry, but also so strong in the infantry army.
The myth of the invincibility of cavalry was also shattered in one fell swoop.
Xia Guo's morale was completely destroyed.
After that, Yang Yan, the king of Han, took advantage of the victory to attack the Seven River valleys and surrendered to rebel, but the tenacity and fierceness of the Qiang people in the blood of King Xia made them not choose to surrender, but led 20,000 tents to move west.
This group of men and horses slaughtered all sides in the western grasslands, and rebuilt the Xia Kingdom thirty years later.
Yang Yan, the king of the Han Dynasty, continued to expand his territory, and with good economic strength, he became the third most powerful country after Sassanid and Rome.
Growing in strength, the Han Kingdom began to seek further power.
Repeatedly on the table, we should follow the Roman pattern of the coexistence of the two emperors of the East and the West.
Emperor Xuan was furious and wanted to raise 300,000 troops to march west to teach this unruly nephew a lesson.
But at this time, Daqin had just recovered a little vitality from weakness, and the 300,000 army marched west from Daxing, all the way to nearly 10,000 miles, even if the soldiers could stand it, the logistics burden could not stand it.
After the Han State absorbed the Seven Rivers Valley of the Xia State, its strength had swelled to a terrible point, and it was impossible to fight this battle at all.
Therefore, Emperor Xuan's plan for the western expedition did not receive the approval of the five ordinary scholars, and the matter was closed.
Therefore, Yang Yan, the king of the Han Dynasty, was called the emperor, and the history was called the Emperor Ming of the Western Qin, and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the east and west of the Green Mountains were all under his command, and the countries of the Western Regions and the tribes of Central Asia listened to his orders.
Even the former Anzai Protectorate submitted to its rule.
Although he was called the emperor, Yang Yan was still respectful to the Central Plains, offering money every year, and still being a minister in the recital, temporarily easing the relationship between the two sides.
Emperor Xuan endured this breath and concentrated on internal reform, and his reign of more than 20 years plus the 17 years of the next Emperor Xiang's reign was called the prosperous era of Xuanxiang by the history books.
This is the second prosperous era of Great Qin.
