We all know that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty can be said to be the most exuberant emperor of the Han Dynasty, because he changed the strong and weak relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu for many years and completely subdued the Xiongnu. Although in this process, the Han Dynasty invested countless money and manpower, so that the national treasury was empty, but from the perspective of influence, the people of the Han Wudi period can be said to be truly alive and dignified, after all, the Han Dynasty has been oppressed by the Xiongnu for many years, so that it has adopted the humiliating way of peace and affinity to ease the relations between the two countries.
Emperor Wudi of Han highlighted a martial word, in fact, in addition to the Xiongnu, Emperor Wudi of Han also had conflicts with many countries. In 126 BC, Zhang Qian, who had been out of town for 13 years, finally returned to the Han Dynasty, although Zhang Qian did not complete the plan to unite with the Great Moon Clan and attack the Xiongnu, but the news brought back by Zhang Qian made Emperor Wu of Han very happy.
This news is in the southwest direction of the Han Dynasty, there are still many countries, which makes Emperor Wudi of Han very curious, originally thought that the desolate west, did not expect to have such a vast land, so Emperor Wudi of Han decided to open the road to the west to the western region, to the south to open the route to the body poison, and this body poison is today's India.
In the process of opening up to the west, Emperor Wudi of Han encountered a country called Dawan, which is actually today's Xinjiang, which is rich in a breed of horses, which Emperor Wudi of Han believes is a legendary sweat and blood BMW, if he can get this horse, then he will definitely gain an advantage in the confrontation of the Xiongnu. With such a thought, Emperor Wu of Han cast a horse with gold and wanted to change the area of this kind of BMW, but he did not expect that the king of Dawan not only disagreed, but also killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty who came.
Emperor Wu of Han was very angry at this treatment and decided to attack Dawan, but he did not expect that because the road was too far away and the transportation of grain and grass was difficult, the two battles against Dawan ended in failure. In fact, the national strength of the Great Wan State is not as good as that of the Han Dynasty, I did not expect that with the geographical advantages, or brought a lot of trouble to the Han Wu Emperor, many ministers think that the Han Wu Emperor should not make a big move for a few horses, in fact, how will they know that the Han Wu Emperor is actually to open the road to the Western Regions, so the Han Wu Emperor ignored the dissuasion, and finally destroyed the Great Wan, and the Western Regions countries also saw the strength of the Han Dynasty and no longer easily provoked.
In the process of looking for poison to the south, Emperor Wudi of Han encountered the obstruction of the State of Dian, and the king of the State of Dian thought that the Han Dynasty took the road here to seek himself, so he not only did not give way, but also arrogantly said that the Han Dynasty was not as good as himself, and Emperor Wu of Han was naturally not accustomed to this problem, so 13 years later, the State of Dian became the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the State of Dian is now Yunnan. The two provinces that Emperor Wu of han spent a lot of money to build can now be said to be important strategic points, and we have to admire the cleverness of its decision-making.
