It is this shame that lingers in the hearts of China people and will be beaten for a long time. This principle applies to any dynasty. If Tang Gaozu bears the burden of humiliation, it will eventually end the dark age of "five random China" since the Jin Dynasty, and let the ravaged Han people stand up again and restore their status as "people"
Then, with the efforts of three generations, Emperor Taizong and Tang Gaozong expanded their territory. "Rule of Zhenguan" is a great pioneering work to restore China people's self-esteem. The people are rich and the economy is developed. Emperor Taizong and Tang Gaozong are regarded as heavenly khans by foreigners around them. After hundreds of years of dark and bloody times, we finally have the courage to shout that sentence again.
Once again, the Chinese nation leapt to the top of the world, once again catching up with its former self and fully reviving? No, the glory of Datang has just begun.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was maximized, with an area of about 6.5438+0.8 million square kilometers (6.5438+0.576 million square kilometers). During the peak period, it reaches Kyushu Island in Japan in the east and Aral Sea in Central Asia in the west. South to Hue, Vietnam, north to Lake Baikal. There were many foreign nationalities in the Tang Dynasty. In order to effectively manage Turkic, Uighur, Mohong, Tiele, Shiwei and Qidan, etc. Six capitals, Anxi, Anbei, Anton, Annan, Khan and Beiting, were established.
After three generations, the Tang Dynasty finally conquered East Turkestan and West Turkestan during the reign of Emperor Xianqing in Tang Gaozong, and extended the territory of the Tang Dynasty to West Asia. Huo Qubing, a great man, once again achieved the most sacred aspiration of China military commanders after the expeditionary force attacked the Xiongnu, and it was Su, a famous Tang Dynasty, who achieved this great cause. Remember this name, it is worth remembering for another thousand years.
Later, Turks were brought under the rule of the Tang Dynasty and became the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Oh, it should be Abe and Zen. Then, Tang Jun crossed the sea from the eastern end of Shandong Peninsula and attacked Baekje in the middle of Korean Peninsula. In the second year of LongShuo, Tang Jun defeated Tiele in Tianshan Mountain. In the first year of Zongzhang, Goguryeo was destroyed and Anton Khufu was founded in Pyongyang.
After Tang Gaozong's death, China ushered in a brand-new era, which is a history that cannot be forgotten. The first and last female emperor appeared in the 5,000-year unified dynasty in China. This era is called "Wu Zhou", but it has to be said that although it is famous for its martial arts, its foreign wars are a mess. In 682, the Turks "spit and sip bones" to correct the 700 uprising.
From the Japanese map, we can clearly see that the Second Turkic Empire was restricted at first, and it expanded into a fat man in just over 20 years. Finally, most of today's Inner Mongolia fell.
Of course, the Tang Empire did not let him go and let him expand. In 708, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Renyuan, the general manager of Shuofang Road in the Tang Dynasty, established the "Three Accepted Cities" system in Monan. After containing the Turkic khanate, the Tang Dynasty once again began to occupy the Monan area and control it for a long time. At this point, the territory of the Tang Empire reached another peak. It was during this period that the Tang Dynasty fought a war with Arabia in Luo Heng. Huaxia civilization radiates the whole of East Asia, which is called "the flourishing age of Kaiyuan" in history!
However, the prosperous times will decline, and the Anshi rebellion broke out. The Tang empire seemed to be out of order overnight, with rebellion and bloodshed everywhere.
Although a country is divided, mountains and rivers still exist, trees and grass turn green again, petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows. After three months of war, a message from home is more valuable than a ton of gold.
The starting point of the Silk Road, the intersection of East and West cultural and commercial centers, and the brightest pearl in the world-Chang 'an in autumn, are covered with a layer of dust. Chang 'an is no longer the imperial capital, and the rebellion took eight years to be put down. The Anshi Rebellion weakened the Tang Dynasty, from prosperity to decline.
Even so, Datang had his last sorrow. The story of "Wan Li Gu Cheng, all white-haired soldiers" happened at this time. In the blockaded and inaccessible western regions, a group of Datang veterans fought for the Datang Western Region for 50 years and 50 years in the wolf's den surrounded by barbarians. This is their life. In this map, we can clearly see that the yellow tentacles surrounded by barbarians are the persistence of these veterans all their lives, and the actual situation is even worse. )
In order to share the glory of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, they refused to marry the local barbarians to continue their blood, because that would mean assimilation. They are not afraid of death. What they are afraid of is that one day, their children and grandchildren will no longer know their own country, forget their ancestors and even become enemies of this country that once made them extremely proud!
However, when they turned white, they still didn't wait for the reinforcements they longed for.
How desperate it is to fight alone without backup!
What a refusal to die in the face of a strong enemy!
How tragic it is to miss my hometown and my loved ones!
Facing despair, sticking to faith, how persistent!
China has developed for thousands of years, and has never lacked the backbone of these ethnic groups. This is the eternal national soul!
Zhuang Zi, I am a China warrior!
Lonely Overseas has a loyal legacy to commemorate the soldiers of Guo Xin who stood alone in the western region for 50 years.
In fact, this passage from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty was once briefly broken through. After learning this story, the whole government and people cried and knew that they had eaten soldiers. However, after eight years of Anshi rebellion, the Tang court went through all kinds of hardships. Although it put down the rebellion, its national strength was haggard and it was no longer brilliant in the Tang Dynasty. At present, the Tang dynasty is strong outside and hollow inside, and it has no ability to control such a distant territory of the western regions.
Suffering from natural and man-made disasters, a large-scale peasant uprising finally broke out in the 13th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Jiangnan, which was regarded as the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, was hit by Huang Chao, and the rule of the Tang Dynasty had existed in name only. The Huang Chao Uprising broke the ultimate foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
In 90 1 year, prime minister Cui yin and imperial general sun dezhao defeated Liu and welcomed the return. In 907 AD, Zhu Wen forced, retreated, and changed the name of Liang, taking Liang Taizu as Kaiping and Kaifeng as its capital. At this point, * * * experienced the 21st emperor and enjoyed the demise of the Tang Dynasty in 289.
