"Put anointed on the fire, mourn and suffer from self-suffering", Chinese will generally use the word torment to describe the current struggle and physical and mental fatigue, and people are as painful and unbearable as being roasted on a fiery fire. However Chinese also believes that "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold", and after suffering, people can get a new life. In the history of China, there was a person who actually used his body as the cost to survive, and finally boiled those celebrities to death at the age of more than a hundred years old, and climbed to the throne himself, this person's name is very familiar, he is Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo was a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, born around 240 BC, who became a close confidant of Qin Shi Huang early, leading an army of 500,000 to Lingnan, which also became his lifelong garrison. Although Qin Shi Huang had ambitions to unify the world and wanted to pass the throne from himself to his descendants, he was too violent and caused great pain to the people. Coupled with the fact that there were some unscrupulous traitors around him, after Qin II ascended the throne, people rose up.
The Central Plains were once caught in a scuffle, the peasant revolt, the Xiangyu Liu Bang uprising, and the princes were in turmoil, the world was in chaos, and the lieutenant of Nanhai County decided to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie, but he was already seriously ill and could not carry out his ambitions, so he told Zhao Tuo of the advantages of Nanhai County, asking him to establish a country here. After the death of The Commandery of the County, Zhao Tuo killed the officials of the Qin Dynasty and established a state with his own name as the King of Wu of South Vietnam, in 203 BC.
After countless fierce battles in the Central Plains, Liu Bang finally stood out among the crowds and established the Western Han Dynasty. However, because the people were suffering from war, Liu Bang decided to recuperate and adopted a policy of peace talk to deal with South Vietnam. In 196 BC, Lu Jia was ordered to send an envoy to South Vietnam and persuade him to return to Han. Zhao Tuo judged the situation and felt powerless to compete with the Han Dynasty, so he surrendered.
However, after Liu Bang's death, Lü Hou had monopoly power, and she and Zhao Tuo did not deal with each other at all, did not allow the people to sell goods to South Vietnam, and even sent soldiers to attack South Vietnam. The generals quickly returned to the dynasty because of the water and soil, but this move caused Zhao Tuo to be very angry, so he decided to attack the state of Changsha and expanded his territory through force and bribery, by which time he had established himself as "Emperor Wu of South Vietnam".
After a political upheaval in the Central Plains, Emperor Wen of Han finally stepped onto the political stage, and he was bent on taking back South Vietnam, sending people to rebuild Zhao Tuo's tomb, and asking people to sacrifice his ancestors on time, and even rewarding Zhao Tuo's relatives. At this time, Lu Jia went to South Vietnam again, and Zhao Tuo was once again persuaded to return to the Han Dynasty.
Although Zhao Tuo was nominally submissive, in fact he still used the name of the emperor in South Vietnam, and when Emperor Wen of Han's son Emperor Jingdi died, Zhao Tuo was still alive. It was not until 137, four years after Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, that he entered a permanent slumber. Zhao Tuo, who lived so long, not only survived several emperors in the Central Plains, but also killed all his sons, and when he died, he was succeeded by his grandson.
In 111 BC, Emperor Wu of han, as the First Emperor of Qianqiu, destroyed South Vietnam, and Vietnam remained Chinese territory for more than a thousand years, and Zhao Tuo, as the founding emperor, was also posthumously honored as Emperor Shengwu Shenzhe during the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam. The location of his tomb has also been concerned, but because the history books are not very clear, people have never been able to determine its location.
Although Zhao Tuo always established himself as king, during the Han Dynasty, he also implemented many policies conducive to ethnic integration, and brought some advanced cultures to the barren areas of South Vietnam, which had a great positive impact on South Vietnam. However, the way he ascended to the throne of God was indeed opportunistic enough, and if he was in the Central Plains and the people competing for the world, he would not necessarily have this ending.
