In the early years of Emperor Wu of Han, History of the Western Han Dynasty, how high the happiness index of people's lives is, the weather is good, there is food and clothing, and it is very rich. In contrast, the Xiongnu in the north is often , and the snow falls thousands of miles away. After eating the previous meal, it is difficult to save the next meal. This year is well and worry about the next year.
Two different civilizations determine two completely different living conditions!
Everyone knows the good and bad things. Isn’t it good to live their own lives behind closed doors? The Han Dynasty had a good life, so there was no need to consume its good time; the Huns were poor and had short ambitions, thin and long hair, so they could not afford to be injured at all; with a cannon on , both sides were injured, which was indeed unnecessary!
However, everything will have an uncontrollable psychedelic state. The Han Dynasty and The Hun Empire inevitably went to a life-and-death battle situation during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.
The key is that this extraordinary battle was initiated and led by Emperor Wu of Han. This is a bit difficult to understand. Because everyone knows that the Huns are a nation that grew up on horseback. They come and go like the wind, drifting, and are vast and sparsely populated and barren. When attacking them, it is often difficult to find their whereabouts and keep up with their speed. And even if you win them, it will be difficult to get too much financial returns from them. has extremely high cost and low returns, and it has the feeling of "cannons bombing mosquitoes".
There will be something wrong with it! So, why did Emperor Wu of Han fight to the death with the Huns? This kind of thing is like a rich second generation or a poor boy who insists on fighting to the death at all costs, and it is extremely unfavorable in terms of cost. Perhaps, a larger management thinking may explain this problem.
Why did Emperor Wu of Han insist on fighting against the Huns?
When introducing the survival logic of two civilizations, agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, we pointed out to everyone that nomadic civilization must maintain sufficient aggressive dependence on the surrounding agricultural civilizations to maintain its stable metabolism.
Therefore, the Huns and the Central Plains regime have been resentful for a long time.
Whether it is the border conflict between Warring States period , the northern nomadism and Qin , Zhao , Yan , or the repeated invasions of the Hun Empire against the Han Dynasty during the Western Han Dynasty, fundamentally reflects that this is a pair of enemies who are "born incompatible with the eight characters".
However, is this kind of grudge and conflict caused by the living conditions of the two civilizations really the fundamental reason why Emperor Wu of Han later killed the Huns at all costs? Not necessarily!
Because whether it is a person or a political system, it actually has a certain tolerance and immunity to external contradictions and harms. After all, there are only a very small number of lunatics who are offended by others and fight to the death.
Besides, in the Game of Thrones, there are often only eternal interests, but no absolute grudges. The fight between the Han Dynasty and the Huns is actually relatively normal in the game relationship between political interests.
The relationship between people, is the first priority, and the second is emotions.
However, when emotional conflicts accumulate to a certain level, it will also rise to the main contradiction between people. For example, those who have emotional collapse usually act regardless of consequences, and they only think of emotional catharsis.
The Huns took advantage of the early Han Dynasty that the Han Dynasty was still weak and sick, and they bullied and insulted the Han Dynasty a lot. For example, the Huns once surrounded the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, , on Baidengshan, for seven days and seven nights, and left satisfied after receiving a generous enough ransom; for example, during the Lu Zhi, the Huns Maodun Shanyu openly used official documents to tease Lu Zhi, who was already widowed at that time; for example, they often showed their power and threats to Han Dynasty to urge the flower girl of the Han Dynasty royal family...
These things are connected together. For the Han Dynasty, was not only extremely harmful, but also extremely insulting. Under this dual-pronged approach, the outbreak of the Han regime is only a matter of time and method.
Time issue. By the time of Emperor Wu of Han, the Han Dynasty had already grown up and the conditions were ripe, so this problem was no longer a problem. The method problem is a human problem, and it is too much affected by factors such as the leader's personality, strength, and it is difficult to predict.
What kind of personality was Emperor Wu of Han? Later generations Cao Cao has a famous saying called "I would rather let the world down than let the world down" . In fact, Emperor Wu of Han interpreted this character to the extreme more than 200 years ago. For Emperor Wu of Han, it is natural to take revenge and revenge. If he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble for you, you should burn the incense. The targets of repeated crimes like the Huns have long been included in the list of "educational transformation".
Seeing this, I believe many people will think that this historical grudge between the Han and the Huns is the reason why Emperor Wu of Han decided to kill the Huns. But in fact, this is only part of the reason.
For example, if it was you, when you were relatively weak, there was a person who often bullied and insulted you. When you became stronger, would he really try his best to kill him? Not necessarily! For example, if you don’t interact with each other in your old age and exclude him from your own circle of life, you are actually better choices, because you won’t abandon the life you already have because of hatred.
So, why did Emperor Wu of Han pursue the Huns all over the world at all costs? In addition to the reasons for grudges and personality, there is another more important reason for , which is the reasons for cultural order.
After Emperor Wu of Han came to power, he strongly praised Confucian culture , abolished all schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and established a new cultural order. This cultural order provides comprehensive services to Emperor Wu of Han’s imperial power with its bright and beautiful cloak and high-sounding theory.
However, the tool also has two sides. Even if it makes users easy to use in many occasions, it will be backfired in some aspects.
Confucian culture emphasizes the unity of the world, Discribing the Chinese and foreigners , respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, and divinely granting the king's power, etc. Once these concepts and symbols are widely implanted into the bones and thoughts of the general public, many things become "arrows on the string have to be fired."
Aren’t you a divine right granted by the king? Isn’t the emperor’s authority not to be violated? Didn’t you say that the world is unified? Don’t you pay attention to the distinction between Chinese and foreigners... Then the Huns have been offending these ideas, and every one of them is offended. Shouldn’t you, Emperor Wu of Han, take care of them? If you don’t control the Huns, why do you want to convince the people of the great men?
Many times, it is actually not easy to be a big leader! Because the higher your position, you need a lot of culture and rules to consolidate your authority, and you need to spend more energy, manpower and material resources to urge the people below to abide by the rules, and at the same time, you have to spend a lot of money to decisively calm down those bad behaviors that dare to challenge your authority.
When Emperor Wu of Han declared his image of "I am the only one" to the world, he had no room to tolerate the Huns. The Han people must be obedient to the people, and the Huns can be unruly people? You can't justify your ruling thoughts!
So, you must do it! You must fuck him to death! This is the voice that Emperor Wu of Han must shout to the whole world.
Of course, some meticulous friends will also ask, if Emperor Wu of Han had not been so strong in his subjective intention to fight the Huns, could he not find an objective reason to shirk it? It is indeed possible, for example, if the conditions are not ripe, comrades wait patiently, etc. Unfortunately, Emperor Wu of Han was not such a person at all, and the objective conditions in the Western Han Dynasty were not as good as that. They wanted money and people, and it was unreasonable to not do it.
In short, Emperor Wu of Han decided to fight the Huns because of the joint cause of various factors, including historical grievances, subjective intentions, objective situations and other reasons. When these factors were put on Emperor Wu of Han, the hot man, it was like sulfur, nitrate and carbon mixed into explosives, and that era was about to explode.
Logical analysis of Emperor Wu of Han that he had to fight the Huns
When Emperor Wu of Han first proposed to fight with the Huns, many ministers disagreed, such as Han Anguo , etc. They believed that they were not sure of winning and were useless to the people and money, which was not very meaningful!
In fact, the Han Dynasty, which had just experienced " Wenjing Zhizhu ", did not have an advantage over the Huns in military terms, because they had not conducted large-scale foreign wars for decades, and they had not found a model to fight against the Huns.
The initial few battles between Han and Huns were basically evenly matched, and had wins and loses each other, and even the Han army won less and lost more.
So, from this point of view, Han Anguo and others opposed the full war against the Huns. Does seem particularly prescient? has a good life, but using two legs to compete with others for four legs, isn’t it just not worth the gain?
From the perspective of Han Anguo and others, their considerations are indeed very reasonable. However, we cannot say that Emperor Wu of Han was determined to fight with the Huns in logic. There is actually a difference between the two, that is, the difference between self-scheming and situation planning. Those who seek health value profit, while those who plan for the situation value power.
In fact, each of us is an actuary in our own life and will involuntarily estimate the cost of for our actions. The difficulty in fighting the Huns is that the Huns are more fierce and capable of fighting and are fast. They either cannot win or cannot fight. They really don’t have much meaning to fight.
Besides, even if you win by luck, you will not get any valuable output if you occupy the prairie with abundant water and grass. Raising cattle and sheep is not what you are good at; farming, the climate and environment will make you lose all your grains; you just have to occupy it, and you have to dispatch a large amount of military and civilian power, and it will consume countless material and financial resources to make the resources in your heart of the Central Plains lose. Otherwise, people will take advantage of the advantages of coming and going like the wind, and they will not be careful and take back the territory.
In short, no matter how hard you fight against the Huns, it is a bad deal. The cannon hits a mosquito, what can I do if I hit it? If you knock others down, you will have only half your life left, so why bother?
Han Anguo and others actually represent the physical awareness of most of us. This awareness of is mainly based on the objective status quo, and then conducts reasonable analysis, paying special attention to the protection and development of its own vested interests. The meaning of is usually logically rigorous, and most people really can't find any problems.
But why did Emperor Wu of Han finally go to war against the Huns? Because he was sitting on his dragon throne, he could no longer help himself. In addition, Emperor Wu of Han was not a person who was content with the status quo and willing to be successful. He wanted to be a model of civil and military achievements for all generations. He could not solve his problems by planning his own business. He had to plan a situation and wanted to create a general trend for the world.
Why do those people in later generations shout with enthusiasm when they mention the Han Dynasty: Those who violate the strong Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. This is the effect that Emperor Wu of Han needed, that is, the ethereal and empty "momentum".
potential, such things are invisible and intangible, and cannot be measured with objective and physical methods. They are usually caused by the action of planning and layout. We can understand it as a spirit and culture, a trend and track, a belief and belief.
For Emperor Wu of Han, the Huns have been bullying your Liu family and your Liu family's people since your great-grandfather. Every now and then, I come here to ask for this and that. Miss Flower, gold, silver, and strategic materials must not be missing. If it is missing, it will make you lose face. And after you finish the things, you don’t rob you. Should you rob or rob... This actually caused the dilemma of Emperor Wu of Han losing power.
If he doesn't handle the Huns' problem well, his authority cannot be improved, his achievements cannot be improved, and his ruling ideas cannot be truly deeply rooted in people's hearts.What do you say should be the only one, be orderly and respectful, and be respectful of the king and expel the barbarians... people will think that Emperor Wu of Han is a coward who only knows how to be arrogant and will not truly believe you.
If you want to be the emperor of the ages, you must create an order and civilization that can be passed down for thousands of years; if you want a wise monarch of all generations, you must complete the plan of a century and create a prosperous era for a century... In short, what you want determines what you have to pay and bear.
Han Emperor Wu did not want to follow the old path of his ancestors. To create a new pattern, he must create a new situation that is beneficial to him. At that time, for him, it was his best platform for him to build momentum, because attacking the Huns had at least the following benefits:
First of all, the Huns never had love and taught them a lesson, which was conducive to the emotional catharsis and unity of the internal people; secondly, winning was a great achievement, and their historical status was guaranteed; then, attacking foreign enemies and consolidating national defense have always been an efficient way to mobilize national resources and social resources; finally, by launching external wars, internal contradictions can be transferred and downplayed in a timely manner, which can help the newly established Confucian ruling thought set.
Of course, from the perspective of enemy-to-me relationship, if a civilization cannot determine whether another civilization will attack this article, and attack or even destroy the other party while it is strong, it will always be the lowest-cost defense strategy. This is the so-called idea of preventing problems before they happen.
Later, the prince Liu Ju relied on his parents' favor, and he was gentle and kind by nature, so he often advised Emperor Wu of Han not to conquer for years. Emperor Wu of Han said to him with great sincerity: "If I don't establish a system for the Han family, my descendants will have nothing to follow. If I help you with these military affairs, you can be a Taiping Emperor."
It can be seen that Emperor Wu of Han has always wanted to do something that can be done once and for all and be stable for a long time, and these things and experiences are replicable and inheritable. This is what predecessors create momentum, and later generations follow the trend to .
To summarize, in fact, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, there was no question of whether or not to fight the Huns or not. The husband said that the husband was right and the mother said that the mother was right. It was difficult to explain clearly what was right or wrong. But behind these two completely different attitudes, we need to see that there are two different thinking modes, and then find their respective advantages and disadvantages from these two thinking modes, and play the role of the use of it for your own use!
The historical influence of Emperor Wu of Han fighting against the Huns
After the Emperor Wu of Han, in order to fight against the Huns, he completely emptied the people's achievements in the early Han Dynasty for decades of cultivation and rest, and also made the people feel miserable and complained. Because the cost of war is too high, and it costs a thousand yuan a day, Emperor Wu of Han was able to struggle for decades without collapse. This is already a unique existence in history.
The key is that at Emperor Wu of Han paid such a great price, he still did not completely eliminate the Huns. He only greatly affected the strength of the Huns and established a high prestige in Western Regions .
So, do you start to feel that the return rate of Emperor Wu of Han’s attack on the Huns is not high? This is still a matter of thinking and perspective. From the perspective of direct cost, is still a bit unfavorable. It ruined itself and almost destroyed its family. As a result, it only won both sides, which was not a very high return. However, from the perspective of indirect benefits of , the historical significance and value of Emperor Wu of Han's conquest of the Huns was undoubtedly recorded in history.
First of all, the territory consciousness of the Chinese nation has been greatly broadened. Emperor Wu of Han doubled the territory of China. Although some places were also gained and lost again, they planted a seed of consciousness among the children of China, and there was a voice in their hearts: that was China. This is actually an important stabilization and sublimation of the Confucianism of "All the shores of the earth are the kings, and are the kings under the heavens are the kings.
Secondly, Emperor Wu of Han opened up the Western Regions and established a famous " Silk Road ", which has an immeasurable role in the economic and cultural exchanges and promotion of East and West. This is a great achievement that will benefit the present and the future! Later generations, Emperor Yang of Sui built the Suzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-Hangzhou-H
Then, Emperor Wu of Han invented a series of management measures in order to raise military salaries for the Xiongnu, which also became the template for later generations, such as the state-owned salt and iron camp. It is actually very difficult to create such a management template, because you have no reference or reference, and you have to go from scratch from beginning to end. If you are not careful, you may make mistakes in one step.
Finally, naturally has to talk about the most important significance, that is, Emperor Wu of Han was the person who truly gave the cultural core to the Chinese nation. Our nation is called Han , our people are called Han , our clothes are called Hanfu, our language is called Chinese, our writing is called Chinese characters... In fact, it is all because of Emperor Wu of Han, who integrates the word "Han" with our national symbols.
Extraordinary courage, unyielding fighting spirit, lofty dignity, inviolable sovereignty, courage to look down on the world, and strength to fight against the frost and snow... It was fully demonstrated in the process of Emperor Wu of Han's conquest of the Huns, fully demonstrating the tenacity and scientific nature of Confucianism to the world. Since then, the core idea of Chinese civilization has been completely implanted into the blood of Chinese people.
Looking at the entire Chinese nation, after the Western Han Dynasty, it experienced disasters, but it was always able to survive the disaster. All kinds of sages and martyrs would constantly emerge to turn the tide and save the nation from danger. Nine deaths will never regret it, even if I go there, I will go there even if I have tens of millions of people. " establishes a mind for heaven and earth, establishes a destiny for the living and the people, inherits unique knowledge for the past sages, and brings peace for all ages" has become the common mission of a nation. In fact, its essential logic and origin is not the of the reign of Emperor Wu of Han , "Those who violate the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away"?
gives a nation or team a real cultural core, and this is the most valuable and meaningful thing! However, for those friends who imitate Emperor Wu of Han, I still have to advise you carefully, be careful, because people like Emperor Wu of Han have their own patterns and luck once in a thousand years. Without his diamond, don’t take on his porcelain work easily.
