River westing corridor belongs to present the Gansu Province, in ancient time it is an aquatic luxuriant, lead to by Chinese inland the Western Regions, medium inferior surely the ground of classics. Period of year of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, river westing corridor by Xi Rong occupational, xi Rong completes collapse later, here is held by place of person of lunar family name again. Again later lunar family name by Hun breach, hun person builds a wall in river westing corridor, sent be stationed of corridor of westing of two Wang Zaihe. This also enough is visible at that time the importance of this area!
As to river westing corridor the meaning of this name, "River " those who point to is the Yellow River, the river is the Yellow River on the west with the meaning on the west. "Corridor " just as its name implies, compare connection namely the long and narrow region of two larger areas. As to this area why be long and narrow landform, because,be its south it is Qi Lianshan arteries and veins, boreal mountain mountain range is in, all do not suit the life and business travel to carry, only the valley among two hill suits to live. So " river westing corridor " the meaning is the Yellow River with on the west, a when be placed between Qi Lianshan arteries and veins and boreal mountain mountain range comfortable at living long and narrow region.
The earliest when, central Plains dynasty and prairie nation take river westing corridor seriously not quite, because this ability lets person of lunar family name,occupied. When after Hun rises abruptly, the elder that just discovers oneself is really blind eye! So one suits to cultivate already, the geomantic treasure ground that suits to depasture again is not occupied unexpectedly. Then of Hun risk a chief of the Xiongnu in ancient China to assault continuously the person of lunar family name that occupies river westing corridor by force, and still be killed dropped king of lunar family name, the skull that uses him should make drinking vessel. Person of lunar family name not enemy Hun, abandoned river westing corridor, in turning inferior built Gui Shuang dynasty.
After Hun person holds river westing corridor, the instant developed. Because of river westing corridor this ground, at that time it is treasure ground really. Besides can produce besides rich products (compare at barren desert north prairie) , its strategic value is all in all also. What strategy value be? Basically have at 3 o'clock:
The first, can mix to face of nip off Chinese of the Western Regions communicate, make both cannot form resultant force, the hegemony of minatory Hun;
The 2nd, the nomad area that Hun can cross Qi Lianshan from river westing corridor and reachs Qiang person, control Qinghai-Tibet Platean;
The 3rd, the area is opposite the bend of a river that Hun holds, river on the west Han Chaowei force is very large, can practice converging attack to area of the central Shaanxi plain.
Inchoate the Western Han Dynasty, by Hunnish what strategy of this kind of offensive gives damage is terrible. Surround besides Liu Bang's Bai Dengzhi outside, after Han Jingdi yuan 3 years (BC 141 years) , the central Shaanxi plain of Hun army assault, a baked wheaten cake Chinese the Gan Quan palace of royalty, this also is the extremely deep disgrace on Chinese government history. The Liu Che of Chinese fierce emperor that allegedly at that time still is prince hears after this matter, all night not Mian, establish next high aim from now on: I is born to sign up for this extremely deep disgrace surely!
Chinese fierce Di Jianyuan 2 years (BC 139 years) , just ascend the throng only Han Wu emperor of two years sends the Western Regions of Zhang Qian be sent on a diplomatic mission, seek what have the person of lunar family name of intense and deep-seated hatred with Hun to help. unexpectedly after westing of person of Zhang Qian group enters river westing corridor, this still is the area of person of lunar family name in those days, it is control of Hun person place completely already now. When proper Zhang Qian crosses river westing corridor hurriedly all right, touch unfortunately on the cavalvy of Hun, emissary is round more than 100 people are seized entirely. Till 13 years hind, zhang Qian just returns Han Chao.
Yuan Guangliu of Chinese fierce emperor year (BC 129 years) , namely the Western Regions of Zhang Qian be sent on a diplomatic mission after 10 years, the Chinese fierce emperor that waits not to answer Zhang Qian decided to wait no longer. His dispatch acting car drives general Wei Qing to go out on cereal, ride Ao of general a surname to give Dai Jun, in He Chuyun of a surname of small car general, brave rides general Li An to give wild goose door. Volley of 4 main forces, spread out pair of Hun strike back, pulled open those who be as long as 44 years the big screen of Chinese chest big fight.
Through 8 years of bloody battle, han Jun kept clear of basically in the Hun force with area of the bend of a river, then the look of Chinese fierce emperor turns to Hunnish another core area -- river westing corridor.
Yuan hunting 2 years (BC 121 years) , chinese fierce emperor appoints year only Huo Qu disease of 19 years old rides a general to fast, pilot of person of Hun of rate army assault river westing corridor. Huo Qu is ill inside a year hit out twice, attack early or late broke down king of Hunnish muddy evil, cease Tu Wang ministry, annihilate enemy more than 40000 people, captive include mother of 5 Attila, king inside more than 100 Hun are advanced noble. All along is overbearing be used to Hun person is hit muddled forced, the army that never has seen such appear and disappear mysteriously!
Estimation of king of Hun muddy evil is to was hit to be afraid of, the decision breaks away from Hun cadre, lead come over and pledge allegiance of 40 thousand numerous Xiang Hanchao. Then Han Chao installed Wu Wei in river westing corridor, piece 4 county of spring of assist, wine, Dunhuang, execute administration to turn management. From now on Han Chao controlled a river on the west area, for road of get through the Western Regions lays a foundation later. And Hun person can be this elegy only: "Break my Qi Lianshan, make my domestic animals not luxuriant ceases; Break my Yan Zhishan, make I am married Fu does not have color " .
Remarks: Hun is not a single people actually, it is a large tribal alliance actually. When this allied old is powerful and prosperous, come over and pledge allegiance person with respect to a lot of. All come over and pledge allegiance can call Hun person at the person of Hun alliance. But if once the authority of the old is washed-up, the tribe below is met disintegrate. Of the muddy evil king of Hun surrender, because of,be this reason.
Break the bend of a river, river repeatedly on the west two large strategic area, does be apt to of Hun person how could stop be willing to give up? To put an end to the possibility that Hun kickbacks, chinese Wu Diyuan huntings 4 years (BC 119 years) spring, wei Qing of fierce emperor life and Huo Qu disease lead horse each 50 thousand, thorough desert north, seek Hun brunt decisive engagement actively. Wei Qing surrounds Hun chief of the Xiongnu in ancient China in act north, behead 19 thousand, chase after kill recall to the ability after Tian Yan Shan. Huo Qu is ill a rate army northing more than 2000 lis, cross mountain leaving Hou, overshoot bend gate river, with Hun ministry of Zun Xian king receives battle, annihilate enemy 70 thousand people, captive more than 80 people of Hun noble. And exploit a victory is chased after kill the wolf to desert north to reside Xu Shan, xu Shan is resided in the wolf (today Mongolia Kent hill) held Tian Fengli of hold a memorial ceremony for, in aunt develop hill (today Mongolia Kent hill with north) held ceremony of buddhist of ground of hold a memorial ceremony for, bing Feng forces all the time to vast (today's Lake Baikal) . Via this one battle, the brunt of Hun army uses up funeral, hun chief of the Xiongnu in ancient China escapes to desert north, not dare again encroach on the bend of a river, river on the west two large strategic area.
Remarks: After Wei Qing and Hun of defeat utterly of Huo Qu disease, hun vigour is hurt greatly, cent is south Hun and boreal Hun, but this nation does not have Hun complete collapse, boreal Hun later once more arisen, it is with Hanchao enemy. Han Chaozhen is calling Hun shoot dish, it is the Eastern Han Dynasty bright emperor period.
After north of desert of far escape of Attila front courtyard, chinese the dynasty replaced Hun to be south desert the hegemony of the area. Then, chinese fierce emperor again the Western Regions of be sent on a diplomatic mission of dispatch Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian this be sent on a diplomatic mission, those who go still is river westing corridor, but he need not again furtive, go aboveboard on the territory of own motherland however, the army that there is him motherland beside protects him.
Zhang Qian arrives after the Western Regions, in Zhu Guozhong of the Western Regions the country of advocate Chinese dynasty power, persuade the Western Regions all countries and Chinese jointly, those who make become Chinese besides the dynasty official, the effect is very distinct. Later of Zhang Qian deputy in making be visited respectively inferior big as if, the country such as family name of health house, a solar month of 31 days, big summer, enlarged Han Chao's politics to affect, increased mutual the understanding between. This also is the political consequence of Central Plains dynasty, take door going abroad for the first time, have historical sense very much. Minister change is to this evaluation -- the brigade of forced, the implied meaning is enlightened highway.
Chinese chest big decisive battle after 8 years, hun force restores somewhat. Yuan Dingliu of Chinese fierce emperor year (BC 111 years) October, general of fierce emperor dispatch plum breath, doctor makes picked troops of army of number of Xu Ziwei rate crosses Qi Lianshan from river westing corridor, smash revolting on the west Qiang; Of the same age, han Jun undertook mopping up for the last time to river westing corridor, keep clear of the force of Hun thoroughly a river on the west. After this, chinese fierce emperor made a very right decision -- corridor of development river westing!
Concrete step has at 3 o'clock:
The first, administration turns management. The most intuitionistic expression is large-scale fortification, build the system of prefectures and counties, establish an administrative division on county again later, the name says cool city. Position and inside Shanghaiguan all administrative divisions are same, it is in the core group of the imperial court. Such advantage is, chinese government national power if it were not for is too weak, can hold in river Xi Wei the basiccest regnant. Hun person wants to counterattack, cost is very big.
The 2nd, past river emigrates on the west. This are very crucial, because the government is only military insufficient still, the river must want to have on the west Chinese culture ability always originallies. Hunting because of this yuan year, chinese fierce emperor issues decree, corridor of westing of one-time Xiang He is emigrant 100 thousand. There is an official to be told to Wu Di before immigrant, so large-scale immigrant, it is brushstroke necessarily huge expense. But Han Wu emperor thinks, throwing again much financial capacity and material resources is worthiness. Look with the angle at that time, chinese fierce emperor crave for greatness and success, increased governmental burden. But from long-term in light of, chinese fierce emperor did a blame to be in contemporary, but the benefit great exploit in a thousand years! As to the reason, river westing corridor now is Chinese culture circle, this are enough.
The 3rd, undertake economy is developed. The garrison, county that set county, emigrant purpose is to develop a river on the west. Because if be not developed, can arrive from grain of carry of Campagna of the central Shaanxi plain only the Western Regions, this is a wasteful behavior apparently. Hanchao to control the Western Regions, undertook changing to the economic mode of river westing corridor. Turn into by onefold nomad economy nomadism is added farming agrarian, farther received offer of river westing corridor Chinese culture circle. And develop the river westing corridor later still can be Han Jun to be assisted to what dilate provides field of goods and materials on the west, become a of the dilate outside front of Central Plains king firm base area.
Chinese fierce emperor is right river the development on the west, the most outstanding achievement is Hun again also cannot encroach on river on the west, also cannot build up a large number of forces, shake Chinese government is right river on the west, the fact of the bend of a river, the Western Regions. The dynasty of the Central Plains that count era after Han Chaozhi, river westing corridor is the contends for surely ground of Central Plains dynasty. (the universe the first prosperous and strong Song Chao except)
As a whole, river westing corridor is China the lifeline that Xiang Xifa exhibits, now also is! If do not have Huo Qu disease in those days, without the Chinese fierce emperor of great talent and bold vision, also won't have the river westing corridor later. And if do not have a river on the west, china won't have Xinjiang. The distant westing corridor that this is just like Liaoning (bright and beautiful city arrives hill custom) , if this corridor was lost, northeast is taken did not come back. Same argument, if river westing corridor was lost, xinjiang also is taken did not come back.
