Liu Che: What is the relationship between Liu Che and Liu Bang?

All over the world, it is said that "the contribution is greater than that of Qin Emperor Hanwu". It can be seen that Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is not inferior to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang fought in all directions all his life, creating the first great power rise in the history of China and laying the imperial pattern of China in 2000. He loves the country and cherishes the Han Dynasty that his ancestors earned with sweat and sweat, because he was brave and active in the Xiongnu and solved foreign troubles. He loves beauty and has four queens in his life, each of which is his true love. No one is perfect. Like Qin Shihuang, he was superstitious in witchcraft and militaristic, which almost pushed the Han Dynasty to the brink of extinction. Thousands of years later, we still talk about the merits and demerits, and all the comments on him still reverberate in our ears.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was born in 156 BC. He was the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, an outstanding politician, strategist and poet. He ascended the throne in 65438 BC. Wang, his mother, married into the Jin family before entering the palace and had a daughter. Liu Che's grandmother listened to the fortune-teller, left the Jin family with her, and entered the State of Qi, the later emperor, with her crown. Liu Che became king of Jiaodong at the age of 4, prince at the age of 7, and ascended the throne at the age of 16, and reigned for 54 years. He ascended the throne of the emperor at a young age. Although he is very young, his ability is still very strong.

About Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it has been repeated countless times by later generations in the form of poems, novels, biographies and operas, but what kind of person Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is, we have to go back to the Han Dynasty through the fog of history to find out.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the second feudal king in ancient China, truly honored the Chinese nation from generation to generation. The "Law of the Dead" says that "strength is strong, virtue is martial", which means majesty, strength and wisdom, and benevolence is martial. His great talent and literary skills made the Han Dynasty the most powerful country in the world at that time, and he also became one of the great emperors in the history of China. Emperor, formerly known as Herry Liu, changed his name to Che after he acceded to the throne. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the ninth son of Emperor Gaozu Liu Qi, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Heng and the great-grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. He ascended the throne at the age of 7 and reigned for 54 years, which should be regarded as the emperor who reigned for a long time in history.

At the beginning of his reign, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carried out a series of reforms in politics, economy and culture. He continued the policy of preserving health and helping the people that his father carried out before his death, further weakened the power of the governors, consolidated the control of the central government on the localities, promulgated decrees to promote the enfeoffment of sons by governors, and weakened the power of several governors. At the same time, set up a secretariat to supervise local governments. Strengthen centralization, smelting iron, cooking salt and making wine. Under the unified management of the central government, it is forbidden for vassal States to cast money privately, so that financial power is concentrated in the central government.

Culturally, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, promoted Dong Zhongshu's idea of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", which laid a solid foundation for Confucianism to take root and flourish in China. While carrying forward Confucianism, he actively strengthened the construction of the rule of law in the country and bound the people with strict laws, which formed a restraining force and was conducive to the management of the central ruling class. As a result, a very special scene was formed in the Western Han Dynasty. The internal laws of the ruling class were strict and the criminal law was strict and very tough, while Confucianism was used to preach and teach, and the whole king of the Western Han Dynasty showed great vitality.

After a series of policies to develop the economy and people's livelihood, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty is thriving. While implementing these policies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also actively preparing for the development of military forces. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first put down the rebellion in some places in the south, and after solving the domestic problems, he began to think about the frontier fortress. After some thinking, he decided to take the initiative to send troops to Xiongnu.

The initiative of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the passive situation that the former dynasty adopted the method of kinship to obtain temporary stability, and began to formally declare war on the Xiongnu, and sent young talents such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Zhou Yafu, the right-hand men of the Western Han Dynasty, to conquer the Xiongnu. Three large-scale attacks have achieved initial results, taking over the Hetao area and seizing the Hexi Corridor, thus expanding the territory of the Western Han Dynasty.

In 129 BC, the Huns went south, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to meet them. Wei Qing, who shouldered this important task for the first time in battle, showed his outstanding military talents on the battlefield. He is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has a strategic vision, planning the overall situation on the battlefield in order to be comprehensive Wei Qing wants to fight every war as beautifully as possible, strive for victory as much as possible, and minimize losses even if it fails. Wei Qing, who went to war for the first time, showed Emperor Wu not only his personal ability, but also his insight into people. In this battle, Wei Qing led the troops for General Che Qi, and all the other three roads failed. Only Wei Qing won all the way. Emperor Wu saw Wei Qing's triumph and appreciated it very much. He is sure to close the mountain customs in Wei Qing.

In 128 BC, the Huns went south again, and they were on a roll, so they must have come prepared. In the process of crossing the border, the Xiongnu army invaded the good family, burned and looted, and plundered more than 2,000 people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first sent Li Guang to guard the fortress area, and the cunning Xiongnu escaped from the area guarded by Li Guang and made a detour to the fortress. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to attack behind the Huns, and Wei Qing led thirty thousand cavalry to the front. Brave Wei Qing, wearing armor, went straight to the Huns' headquarters, marched in, killed thousands of captured enemies, and the Huns fled in defeat.

In BC 127, the Huns assembled an army to attack the Han Dynasty again, which was also the first war between the Western Han Dynasty and the Huns. Both sides have invested a lot of troops to prepare for the biggest and fiercest confrontation. Liang Wudi sent Wei Qing to lead 40,000 troops to attack the Hetao area of the Yellow River where the Huns had been entrenched. Wei Qing took the tactic of "beating around the bush", went around the rear of the Xiongnu army, quickly captured Gaoque, cut off the contact between the tribal leaders of Xiongnu, and completely controlled the Hetao area. While breaking the Xiongnu tribes, we built fortifications in the areas they occupied. In this way, we not only removed tarquin's direct threat to Chang 'an, but also established a forward base to further counter the Huns.

In the following years, although the Huns were suppressed, the bloodiness and wildness of the nomadic people made them resist again and again. Unwilling Xiongnu sent troops many times in a few years, but they were losing ground. In February of the 6th year of Yuanshuo (BC 124), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing to attack the Huns. This expedition was a fatal blow to the Huns. After this war, the Xiongnu forces were basically eliminated, and they no longer had the strength to easily enter the customs.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, while conquering everywhere, did not forget to speed up cultural exchanges with foreign countries. He sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, gained a lot of information about the Western Regions, opened up the Silk Road, enriched the material life of the Central Plains and strengthened cultural exchanges between China and the West. Since Emperor Wudi ascended the throne, he has created countless firsts. No matter whether posterity praised or belittled, there would be no heavy history and prosperity today without him.
