[Editor's note] This article is authorized to be reproduced from the public account "Weiguan World". It is the in-depth thinking of my friend Dr. Song Wei. Welcome to follow.
In 126 BC, the ragged Zhang Qian took his Hu man’s wife and Tang Yi father back to Chang’an City with tears in his eyes.
2147 years later, at 19:54 on September 25, 2021, Meng Wanzhou will arrive in Shenzhen. The shackles on her feet have been removed, and tears could not be left behind her eyes.
History is always so shocking, always reincarnation, just like the meta-universe, whether we are reality or imaginary world, a thousand years later, no one knows.
①Meng Wanzhou is like contemporary Zhang Qian
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were very powerful and went south to invade Han from time to time. Liu Che, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, began to pay attention to " Six Classics" as soon as he came to the throne. The wind can make a career. At the same time, since Han Gaozu , the emperor of the Han Dynasty has always had the dream of attacking the Huns in the north,However, due to the weak national power, Liu Che has been haunted by this dream.
In 138 BC, the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, a message came from the Western Regions. A Huns who surrendered to the Han Dynasty told Liu Che a reliable news that the old Shangdan Yu led his army to break the Yue family and killed the Yue family. The Yue family were forced to move westward. After this national disaster, the Yue family People resent the Xiongnu very much, and King Yue wants to find an ally to fight the Huns together.
After the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prepared to unite with the Yue clan to fight against the Huns, he began to order the selection of talents willing to make the Western Regions. Zhang Qian became the lucky one who went down in history. He was ordered to go to the Western Regions. Before he left for , Emperor Wu arranged for him an assistant named Tangyi Father. He was a Huren of Jiangshun Dahan. , He offered to act as Zhang Qian’s guide and translator.
In 139 BC, Zhang Qian and more than 100 people traveled westward to Hexi Corridor . This place was once an old site of the Yue family. Since the Yue family moved west, the Hexi Corridor was controlled by the Huns. As they crossed the Hexi Corridor, they accidentally ran into the Xiongnu's cavalry, and Zhang Qian and his party were all captured. The right kings of the Xiongnu immediately escorted Zhang Qian and others to the court of the Xiongnu king and saw Shan Yu (the son of Lao Shangdanyu), a military officer at the time.
We have crossed to 2018 after 2157. At noon on December 1, 2018 local time, the Canadian side will be arrested by Huawei vice chairman Meng Wanzhou who is transiting at Vancouver International Airport , and plans to extradite him to the United States.
This scene is so similar, but the difference is that this time the United States and Canada deliberately planned it! plus law enforcement agencies organized and planned to cooperate with the FBI to implement an illegal secret criminal investigation.
In the subsequent scenes, Zhang Qian and Meng Wanzhou are in the same situation.
The Xiongnu Shanyu softened and wooed Zhang Qian, and dispelled the idea of going to the Yueshi, and carried out all kinds of threats, but they failed to achieve their goals. Zhang Qian "does not humiliate the king's life" and "holds the Han festival without losing." He has not forgotten the sacred mission entrusted to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and has not shaken the will and determination of the Yueshi as the envoy of the Han Dynasty. He has stayed in the Xiongnu for ten years.
In December 2020, after Trump failed the presidential election, he still instructed his team to try to get Meng Wanzhou to plead guilty and pay a huge fine. The current situation did not actually support this exchange, so there was no agreement on the conditions. Meng Wanzhou refused to plead guilty. On August 26, 2021, Meng Wanzhou was detained in Canada for 1,000 days. At that time, many media believed that Meng Wanzhou had no hope of returning to China, waiting to be extradited to the United States.
129 BC,Zhang Qian was in the ninth year of the Xiongnu. His will, who had already settled down and gave birth to a son, was still not polished. He took his wife and entourage and fled the palace of the Xiongnu. Due to the force of the Huns to move westward to the Guishui area near the Aral Sea, Zhang Qian finally came to this destination after all his hardships. After seeing King Yue, Zhang Qian asked him that the Han Dynasty was willing to form an alliance with the Huns. King Yue was not interested. At this time, the Yue people lived comfortably in the new land, where the land was fertile. , Rich in resources, far away from the Huns, no one disturbs them.
Zhang Qian came to Yueshi through hardships, but failed to persuade the Yueshi king to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty. He returned to the Han Dynasty after a one-year stay in Yueshi. In order to avoid the Huns, Zhang Qian prepared to take the Southern Road and returned to the Han Dynasty through the Qiang area. Unexpectedly, the Qiang area was also controlled by the Huns, and Zhang Qian was taken away by the Huns on the way back.
One year later, the Huns died of illness and the Huns experienced civil strife! was supposed to be the crown prince of Shan Yu ascended to the throne, but Shan Yu’s brother didn’t buy it. He drove the prince away and set himself up as Shan Yu. The prince of the Huns was defeated and returned to the Han Dynasty. Liu Che kindly took him in and made him a sheriff. Anhou.
For 2020, the U.S. election is also experiencing civil unrest! The Democrats and the Republicans are desperate, staged infernal affairs for many times, and in the end, the old Biden defeated Trump by a small margin. In fact, at this time Meng Wanzhou also saw the hope of mediating to return home.
Zhang Qian took advantage of the Huns’ civil strife and fled back to Chang’an ,This year is 126 BC. At the time, Emperor Wu sent a total of more than 100 people to the Western Regions. Only Zhang Qian and Tang Yi father were left. Of course, Zhang Qian also brought his Hun wife back. After thirteen years, Zhang Qian traveled thousands of miles and died nine deaths before returning to the embrace of the motherland. Since then, his name has been gloriously recorded in the annals of history.
After 8 months of competition and battle between China and the Biden administration of the United States, the situation between my country and the United States changed dramatically. Meng Wanzhou reached an agreement with the US Department of Justice last night and finally returned to his motherland. The year is 2021. But this time the motherland gave Meng Wanzhou the greatest support, and after more than three years, he returned to the embrace of the motherland!
On September 24, 2021 local time, Meng Wanzhou was released and gave a speech, expressing gratitude to the motherland and supporters. She said that her life has changed drastically in the past three years, but she believes that there is always a ray of light in the dark.
Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions and his successful return are of great significance. He traveled tens of thousands of miles westward, bringing back many valuable things, allowing the people of the Han Dynasty to have a new understanding of the Western Regions, enriching the people’s geographical knowledge, and opening the Han Dynasty to the world. Sima Qian called Zhang Qian’s mission to the Western Regions as a " scavenge " trip.
The arrest of Meng Wanzhou in Canada and his successful return to his motherland are equally significant. In fact, this is a booster for China, which is under the extreme pressure of the United States' allies! Meng Wanzhou’s speech on the chartered flight back to his motherland is as follows:
Fortunately, we were born in a peaceful era; we admire greatness, and the most valuable thing is that we were born in a great country. Growing up in the period of reform and opening up, I have witnessed and personally experienced how great China and the Chinese people are under the leadership of the Communist Party. All my compatriots have worked hard for decades to make our motherland prosperous and strong, and the people march towards common prosperity. , To make great contributions to world peace and development.
Thank you, my dear motherland, and the party and government. It is the brilliant Chinese red that ignites the fire of faith in my heart, illuminates the darkest moments of my life, and leads me to the long journey home.
②The big chess game behind Meng Wanzhou
Meng Wanzhou attended the hearing in the New York court in the United States on September 24 and reached a 14-month extension with the Department of Justice "Deferred-Prosecution Agreement" (Deferred-Prosecution Agreement, DPA) until December 2022.
Meng Wanzhou did not plead guilty, but as part of the agreement, she admitted to providing "knowingly false statements."
Judge Donnelly of the Brooklyn District Court ruled that he accepted Meng Wanzhou’s prosecution agreement and granted her bail conditions.
The lawyer representing the Canadian government immediately applied to the Vancouver British Columbia court to revoke her request for extradition to the United States.He was approved by the Deputy Chief Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court and released in court.
Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday night that two Canadians detained in China for nearly three years have been released.
Trudeau said that Michael Koffrick and Michael Sbavor boarded a plane to Canada at around 7:30 pm EST on Friday, and will be on Saturday Landed in Canada.
Trudeau said that the two men have experienced incredibly difficult tests in the past 1,000 days. They showed strength, perseverance and grace, and we were all inspired.
He would not discuss the details of how they were released, but he thanked the Canadian allies for their support.
The latest news is that the US consulate in Chengdu has begun cleaning, and the market is confident that the Chinese and US consulates in Chengdu and Houston will be reopened.
Just last week, I was in "Depth|Why apply to join CPTPP at this time? How is the progress of RCEP led by China? "It is pointed out that the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Japan may be the most difficult link in China's accession to the CPTPP, and China's Taiwan region has also applied for membership. In this context, China must quickly ease its relationship with Canada, and thus its relationship with the United States, otherwise it is just around the corner to be excluded from the world's highest standard trade rules.
these few days,I have always been puzzled as to why Kerry’s visit to China did not reach an agreement on China’s cessation of overseas coal power construction, but China made a promise at the UN General Assembly.
I feel that there will be a compromise from the United States in the future, and I very much hope that China and the United States will compromise with each other based on the current dilemma, and will play a positive role in the loosening of Sino-US relations.
So today Meng Wanzhou was suddenly allowed to return to China, and it was not a big surprise.
③Looking forward to the general trend of the future
Finally, compare the Western Han Dynasty VS the Huns and China VS the United States to look forward to the general trend of the future. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very satisfied with the achievements of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. Zhang Qian was specially designated as the Taizhong doctor and Tangyi's father was conferred on him as "the envoy of envoys" in recognition of their achievements.
Subsequently, Zhang Qian once again plunged into the battle with the Huns. In 123 BC, General Wei Qing sent troops to attack the Huns twice. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Qian as a captain to attack from the army Mobei . In 121 BC, Zhang Qian was ordered to fight with the "parachutist" Li Guang , leading his army to attack Peking and attack the Xiongnu, which was known as the Battle of Hexi in history.
In 119 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to conduct a larger military operation to completely defeat the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent generals Weiqing and Hussar generals Huo Qubing 50,000 cavalry and 40,000 private horses with the army,Hundreds of thousands of infantry and transporters set off from Dingxiang (now southeast of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) and Daijun (now Yuxian, Henan), went deep into Mobei, sought and wiped out the main force of the Huns, and attacked them.
Also in the year 119 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Zhang Qian as a general of Zhonglang and made his second mission to the Western Regions. One is to recruit Wusundong, who is in conflict with the Huns, to return to his homeland, to break the right arm of the Huns; the other is to promote the prestige of the country and persuade the countries of the Western Regions to unite with the Han and make them foreign ministers of the Han dynasty.
Through the three major battles of the Northern Strike against the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han fundamentally destroyed the military power that the Huns relied on to launch harassment wars, and made the Huns no longer able to pose a huge military threat to the Han Dynasty. During the war, the Huns were annihilated as many as 150,000, and they were unable to compete with the Han Dynasty. The Xiongnu lost their two bases in Henan, Yinshan and Hexi, which were rich in aquatic plants and a mild climate. They migrated to the bitter and cold land of Mobei. The number of people and animals dropped sharply and began to decline. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty counterattacked the victory of the Huns, the Han Dynasty also strengthened and consolidated the construction of border defenses, and the Han Dynasty entered its heyday.
According to this trend, Sino-US relations are still unlikely to be greatly eased by Meng Wanzhou's return. Continued fierce competition is still a major trend . It is expected that Meng Wanzhou will continue to lead Huawei more firmly after experiencing this catastrophe, fighting on the front line of science and technology against the United States, accelerating the de-beautification of Chinese science and technology, and enhancing China's technological security level.
In its strategic competition with the United States, China still needs to pass several important hurdles such as technological innovation, currency internationalization, financial investment, industrial chain, new energy, and infrastructure.Only if we truly lie down, seek development, and let the people rest, can we surpass and suppress the global hegemony of the United States.
This day was realized in the Western Han Dynasty 2100 years ago. Today, 2100 years later, China will surely realize a world wide network across the United States.
