Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was a historical event during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when he hoped to unite the Vietnamese to attack the Huns and send Zhang Qian to various countries in the Western Regions. In BC 139, Zhang Qian was ordered to lead more than 100 people from Longxi (now Lintao, Gansu) and enter the Hexi Corridor to the west. Unfortunately, however, the Yue family has moved west. They came late and had to continue westward, but they were captured by Xiongnu on the way. In order to win over Zhang Qian, Xiongnu Khan made various threats and inducements, and married Xiongnu women to Zhang Qian and gave birth to children. However, he never forgot the sacred mission entrusted to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and did not shake his will and determination to be the envoy of the Yue people in the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Qian stayed in Xiongnu for ten years, and it was not until BC 129 that the enemy's surveillance gradually relaxed. One day, while the Huns were unprepared, Zhang Qian decisively left his wife and children and led his entourage to escape from Wang Ting. After passing the drivers, they turned to the southwest, entered Yanqi, returned to the west of Tarim River, passed Kuqa, Shule and other places, crossed the green ridge and reached Dawan (Fergana Valley). Later, it was introduced from Dawan and passed through Kangju (now southeast Kazakhstan) in Zhixia. They are now in the Amu Darya River valley in summer. Send someone to send them to Da Yue. In this way, Zhang Qian and his party went through numerous hardships and life and death tests before they found Da Yue.
More than ten years, Big Moon? Travel country? Great changes have taken place. The Dayue family gradually changed from nomadic life to agricultural settlement, and did not intend to return to the east, and later became an enemy of the Xiongnu. Zhang Qian stayed in Da Yue for more than a year, but he didn't get the result. He had to leave his hometown in 128 BC, but he went into hiding, or he was caught by the Huns. This time, Zhang Qian was detained for more than a year. Later, taking advantage of the civil strife in Xiongnu, he fled back to Chang 'an with his wife and father. This is Zhang Qian's first trip to the Western Regions. It lasted thirteen years from 139 to 126. Zhang Qian took more than 65,438,000 people with him when he went to China. 13 years later, only he, Tang Yi's father and his Xiongnu wife came back. Although Zhang Qian didn't achieve his original goal, he got a detailed understanding of the geography, products, customs and habits of the western regions, which provided valuable information for the Han Dynasty's expedition to Xiongnu and the establishment of ties with Central Asia.
In 65438 BC+065438 BC+09 BC, Zhang Qian went to the second mission. The purpose of his trip is to recruit Wu to return to Dunhuang and fight against the Huns with Han. Break the Huns' right arm . But this time they went to Wusun, and lobbying Wusun once again ended in failure. Zhang Qian also sent envoys to Dawan, Kangju, Yueshi and Daxia. 1 15 BC, when Zhang Qian came back, Wusun sent dozens of envoys to Chang 'an with Zhang Qian. Since then, the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty have also been to Rest (Persia), ptomaine (India), Amasai (between Aral Sea and Caspian Sea), Tiaozhi (Rest Country) and Li Xuan (Alexandria, Egypt, which belongs to Daqin), and the envoys of Rest and other countries have been visiting and trading in Chang 'an. Since then, the communication between Han and the western regions has been established.
As far as military purposes are concerned, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was not completed, but it was their efforts that enabled the Han Dynasty to establish and close direct ties with Central Asia, West Asia and even southern Europe. Descendants walked in the footsteps of Zhang Qian? The Silk Road? . Zhang Qian has? Hollow out? This work is of great historical significance. What do you say, guys?
