Lanzhou is a city full of glorious history, and Lanzhou is a city with countless heroic deeds. The people here were the best source of troops in , the Han Dynasty, and were called "good family sons" in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
There was a Xiliang Jin at the end of the Han Dynasty that he would never surrender. He was frightened by Cao Cao slashed his beard and abandoned his robe; he arrived at Sui and Tang here was the front line of war against Turkic Tubo empires; he arrived at Qing dynasty here was the place where the army went on a battle where Zuo Zongtang recovered Xinjiang and carried a coffin to fight. So in modern times, what does this place look like now?
Past and present life of Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province,
After the demise of Qin Dynasty , the control over the north and northwest was further weakened. The entire Han Dynasty also chose to hibernate because of the failure of Liu Bang in the battle against Xun . It was not until that the plan to cut off the arms of the Huns was formulated during the era of Emperor Wu of Han.
There were already talents familiar with astronomy and geography in the era of Emperor Wu of Han. They traveled all over China and drew more precise maps. On the entire Han map, if the territory of the Han Dynasty was compared to a giant, then Hexi Corridor located in the junction of Han and Hunter is the arm of the giant.
This arm was controlled at that time in the hands of Hun Empire . In order to survive and develop, Emperor Wu of Han formulated a plan to "seize Hexi and cut off the right arm of the Huns" with his young and bursting spirit.
This strategic plan was quite perfect from the time, and was also quite successful from the later generations. Because the right arm of the Huns was cut off, the Hexi Corridor was restored, and the situation of the northwest and northeast of the Han Dynasty being threatened by the Huns from a high position can be broken.
The one who implemented this strategic plan was not the old man from the Han Wen Emperor era. Emperor Wu of Han intends to establish his own set of civil and military teams. The ideas of older generations of Han generals like Li Guang and Cheng Wu Zhi are actually outdated, and their strategic play can't keep up. They can successfully repel the Huns and use them to defend and counterattack, but they cannot take the initiative to attack and cross the desert to chase and kill the Huns.
In response to this situation, Emperor Wu of Han activated a large number of low-level civilian talents, the most important of which was the slave-born Wei Qing . Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu became the queen, thus making his brother-in-law Wei Qing soar. Starting from Wei Qing, the Han Dynasty took the initiative to attack and won the victory. This opened a path for Wei Qing to seize Hexi in joint battles and seize Hexi. Generally speaking, there are only two routes to attack the Huns. One is to attack directly from the north. This is the route left after the Qin Dynasty captured Henan in the era of Meng Tian. In the early Han Dynasty, this land was captured by the Huns again. After Wei Qing emerged from the Kunlun, he recovered Henan and opened up the road to the north again. The other one was the right Beiping guarded by Li Guang, but it was too far from the center of the empire, and the materials and soldiers were inconvenient to transport, so Emperor Wu of Han could only attack the Huns from Zhongshuofang, Zhengbei.
Zhang Qian After successfully reaching Western Regions , it opened up the horizons of Emperor Wu of Han. It turned out that there was such a big world outside the Longxi and Hexi corridors. So at this time, the plan to "break the right arm of the Xiongnu" was mentioned again. Specifically, the person who implemented this plan was Huo Qubing, who was known as a generation of war god in the history of the Chinese War. After he used a surprise weapon to seize Hexi, he successfully returned to the court and ordered Li Xi to shape a city on the bank of the Yellow River and named it Jincheng, which is the earliest history of Lanzhou City.
The importance of Lanzhou to China
The location of Lanzhou City was not a casual matter at that time. Huo Qubing, the most elite of the Han Dynasty, caught the attention of the importance of this place at a glance. Later, after a talented person surveyed the terrain, he looked at the size of the sun, moon, and gazedrigorous rivers above, climbed the mountains to see the dangers of the terrain. Only then did he determine the location of Lanzhou City, which was called "Jincheng" at that time. He regarded this city as a first-tier strategic city that resisted the attack of the Huns. He hoped that it could be as solid as Great Wall .
What role does Jincheng Lanzhou play in its geographical location? Has it become a strategic core city like historical celebrities such as Huo Qubing and others expected? In fact, if you want to look at the future of a city, you must look at the history of the city. Since Huo Qubing built Lanzhou, it has played its role all the time and has become the core city on the Silk Road from Chang'an to Central Asia, , , .
is very important in geographical location. Starting from Lanzhou, you can reach Chang'an, the center of the Han Dynasty Empire by walking ,500 miles to reach Chang'an, the center of the Han Dynasty Empire; you can walk west for another two thousand miles to reach the Western Regions outside Yumen Pass.
Such a distance seems far away, but for the Huns who have a large number of mobile and flexible cavalry, if Hexi continues to be in their hands, it will take less than five days to send troops from Jincheng Lanzhou to attack Chang'an.
This has always been a huge threat to the Han Dynasty to destroy the country. Therefore, to solve the Huns problem and ensure the safety of the people of the Han Dynasty, the Hexi urban agglomeration with Lanzhou as the core must be in the hands of China.
Furthermore, from a tactical and strategic perspective, after mastering the Hexi urban agglomeration with Lanzhou as the core, the safety of mainland China can be guaranteed. Even if the Huns attack, the first thing they face will be these defense depths. The past history of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han The Hun cavalry burning war to the core area of the capital will be gone forever. The urban agglomeration of the Lanzhou Hexi Corridor will be the best fortress that hinders the enemy. It can proudly claim that it is solid and fulfills its mission.
Behind the outbreak of a three-year-old child
After the outbreak of the disease, various situations are emerging one after another. What is the future solution to the outbreak? If you want to look at the future, you must look at the past. The experience of Chinese people having 5,000 years of history and having written and book records that can be found is not something Westerners can imagine. There are many situations in Lanzhou today, and everyone is in a difficult situation. Many people do not leave their homes, many people are imprisoned, and a three-year-old child dies of poisoning. So what are the structural experiences and lessons learned from the history behind this? Where can we look at the changes in Lanzhou in history?
The historical structure of fuel use for Lanzhou residents is a long changing era. Not to mention the distant past, it started with the restoration of Huo Qubing's Hexi Corridor and setting up urban agglomerations such as Jincheng Lanzhou, Zhangye , Jiuquan , Jinchang . At that time, Lanzhou was rich in water and grass, and in the agricultural era, it could raise hundreds of thousands of people and abundant forest resources. It was known as the "Sea of the Great Han Forests" with Longxi for a while. Most of the wood raw materials in the Han and Tang Dynasties that we have been lingering in history today are derived from this.
Wood has a very deep feeling for the Chinese people. Since ancient times, the building of the house has been a wooden mortise and tenon structure with Chinese characteristics. Usually, it uses wood that can be used anywhere and anywhere around it. However, after the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, with the changes in climate and the destruction of the environment, the timber resources in Lanzhou's "Sea of Forests" have been cut down, and Lanzhou people must use new fuel.
After the development of modern mineral industry, Lanzhou people in cities began to use coal as their fuel for daily life, while firewood continued to be used in rural areas. Using coal is actually very dangerous. If the environment is closed, it is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning. This is a lesson from the blood and tears of Lanzhou urban residents in modern history. In fact, there are also annual publicity, and it has even become common sense.But the situations that occur are still endless.
Since 968, after 30 years of arduous construction, with the strong support of the provincial and municipal governments, the Lanzhou Second Heat Pipe Network Heating Project, an environmental protection project that uses Japanese yen to loan, was fully launched in 1998. Since then, people in Lanzhou City have lived a history of not fearing the cold in winter, but the use of daily fuels is still diverse. Some continue to use firewood and coal, while others use advanced liquefied gas and natural gas.
Is the difference in using daily fuels due to historical reasons? For most people, I'm afraid not, most people should be limited by economic reasons. Therefore, how to deal with the outbreak is indeed a test of people's hearts. The historical solution to the outbreak in Lanzhou has been in place since ancient times. After Huo Qubing seized Hexi, he began to immigrate here, allowing the people of the Central Plains to enrich the place, and give land and tax exemption policies. He tried his best to comfort the victims, rather than covering their mouths and ears.
Conclusion
Huo Qubing's recovery of Hexi is a major event that resonates with generations. The establishment of Jincheng Lanzhou is also part of the fate of China's fortune. Looking back at the beginning, we will find that the great things done by great people such as Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing Huo Qubing. What is their ultimate goal?
is probably not to make a name for himself, nor to be famous for historic records. It was just for the great men of the time to live a stable life, be dignified, live without being bullied by the Huns, life was guaranteed, agriculture could continue, and the country could prosper, and finally the inheritance of China was endless!
