After resting, the Han army attacked again. Under the leadership of Huo Qubing, they penetrated more than 2000 miles into the heart of the Xiongnu and unexpectedly launched an attack on the Xiongnu King Hunye and King Xiutu.

In this battle, the Han army annihilated more than 3000 enemies at the cost of 3 casualties, and also seized five Xiongnu kings as trophies.

In 119 BC, Huo Qubing once again led his troops to play the Huns' match-7 match. He annihilated more than Huns and fought all the way to the Wolf Mountain, where he also held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the sky.

With the powerful combination of the three great demons Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the Huns fled far away after this battle, and there was no royal court south of the desert.

If the Xiongnu were the old enemy of the Han Dynasty, then the Turks were the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty. But in the eyes of Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan, the Turks were just an insignificant small country. If they made a big fuss, they could just be destroyed.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident in 626 AD, Li Shimin sent Crown Prince Li Jiancheng to the underworld to live a leisurely life in advance, and he replaced his father and sat on the throne.

But this time the change of the throne gave DTZ an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. DTZ Jili Khan led an army of 20 and marched straight to Chang'an, stationing troops on the north bank of the Wei River.

At the same time, he was so ignorant that he allowed his general Zhi Shisi to threaten Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was not easily frightened. He first detained Zhishisili, and then personally led six generals to the south bank of the Weihe River to engage in a war of words with DTZ, revealing all of DTZ's dark history of betrayal and attacking the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Tang general Yuchi Jingde took advantage of the Turks' unpreparedness and won a great victory in the Battle of Jingyang. The famous Turkic general Ashina Umo was almost captured in this battle. The Turks were neither right nor in an advantageous position, so they had to retreat.

However, the retreat of the Turks did not make Li Shimin relax his vigilance. He abolished the rule that officials were not allowed to bring weapons into the palace, and trained soldiers in Xiande Hall every day.

At the same time, he pursued the policy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and formed an alliance with Tuli Khan, the political enemy of DTZ Jili Khan.

At this time, everything was ready, except for the east wind. In 629 AD, Li Shimin finally waited for the long-awaited east wind, and DTZ actually took the initiative to send troops to harass Hexi. Upon hearing the news, Li Shimin decisively sent six armies to DTZ.

In 630 AD, Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, led 3000 soldiers and horses to invade the country alone. Jili Khan fled after hearing the news. But he did not expect that Li Jing brought not only capable soldiers, but also spies with eloquent words.

Under the manipulation of spies, DTZ general Kang Sumi surrendered, and Jili Khan had to retreat again and again. Unexpectedly, he retreated into Li Jing's ambush. Jili Khan was defeated by Li Jing's army and had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Jing and Xu Shiji met and discussed, they decided that instead of letting Jili Khan surrender and continue to raise a tiger as a threat, it would be better to directly remove his claws. So Li Jing started to use his big move, and he asked Su Dingfang to lead 200 Tang troops to launch a surprise attack in the fog.

At this time, Jili Khan saw the Tang Dynasty envoy coming and thought that the Tang army had given up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to his senses, the Tang army was 7 miles away from the DTZ army camp. Under the cover of thick fog, Jili Khan did not know the number of Tang troops and could only flee in panic. Li Jing saw the opportunity and led his army to pursue.

In one battle, he captured more than 10 Turks. Soon after, he fled in a hurry. With only dozens of people left by his side, Jili Khan unexpectedly ran head-on into the army of Tang general Li Daozon and was immediately captured by the Tang army. It can be said that he escaped in vain.

Following his defeat, DTZ's land was incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, thus marking the end of DTZ.

[A list of emperors who loved traveling in history]

There have always been some emperors in history who were unwilling to stay in the palace and loved traveling. They just wanted to go out and see the beautiful land they ruled. Sometimes they even died on the road, leaving behind countless strange stories and unsolved mysteries.

So which emperors in history loved to travel? Were they traveling for state affairs or for pleasure? In this video, let us take a look at the emperors in Chinese history who loved to travel.

The first one is Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng. In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang unified China, divided the country into 36 counties, standardized the wheel gauge and writing system, collected weapons from all over the country and cast twelve golden men.

He believed that his virtues matched those of the Three Sovereigns and his achievements surpassed those of the Five Emperors, so he called himself the First Emperor. In 219 BC, Qin Shihuang visited Yishan Mountain and carved a stone to record his achievements. Confucian scholars from Qi and Lu discussed offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai, which is the first of the Five Sacred Mountains. Offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai is the highest honor for an emperor.

However, due to the long time passed, the Confucian scholars at that time had long forgotten the specific process and rituals, and thus quarreled endlessly over how to perform the Fengshan ceremony. Qin Shihuang simply drove them all away, held a Fengshan ceremony himself, and carved a stone on Mount Tai to commemorate his achievement.

At that time, a Taoist priest named Xu Shi wrote in a book that there were three immortal mountains on the sea, where immortals lived. So Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Shi with thousands of boys and girls to search for them. However, Xu Shi never returned and there was no news from him. This became an unsolved mystery in Chinese history.

The following year, Qin Shi Huang made another tour to the east. He was assassinated when passing through Bolangsha. The murderer escaped. The murderer was a Korean nobleman, Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. Soon, another meteorite fell from the sky, and someone carved seven big characters on it: "The First Emperor will die and the land will be divided." Qin Shi Huang was furious and killed all the people around him.

In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang went on his last tour. At the suggestion of Prime Minister Li Si, he took his youngest son Hu Hai with him. When passing through Shaqiu, Qin Shi Huang died at the age of 50. Li Si and Zhao Gao forged an imperial edict to make Hu Hai the emperor, and the Qin Dynasty fell three years later.

The second is Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. In 581 AD, the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Chen Dynasty and unified China, ending more than 300 years of division. Ten years later, the 10-year-old Prince of Jin Yang Guang came to the Southern Dynasty for the first time with the army and was attracted by the prosperous scene of Jiangnan.

According to legend, Zhang Lihua, the favorite concubine of Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Southern Chen Dynasty, was very beautiful. Yang Guang wanted to take her into his room, but was rejected by her. Yang Guang was furious and beheaded her on the grounds that beauty was a disaster.

The beauty of the time passed away. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent Yang Guang to Jiangdu, which is today's Yangzhou. From then on, Yang Guang had an indissoluble bond with Jiangdu. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he ordered the construction of a canal to connect the north and the south. Later generations called it the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, also known as the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The opening of the Grand Canal had a profound impact on Chinese history. It not only strengthened communication and exchanges between the north and the south and maintained the unity of the central government, but also gave rise to many commercial towns on both sides of the canal. During the Sui Dynasty, Jiangdu was the most prosperous of these canal cities.

During his reign, Yang Guang toured Yangzhou three times, and each time he brought a large group of people, including royal nobles, civil and military officials, as well as palace maids and eunuchs, with a total of 200 to 40 people. The fleet was huge, more than 50 miles long. The dragon boat Yang Guang rode had four layers, 200- feet high and feet long, all decorated with gold and jade, like a moving palace.

In addition, Yang Guang also toured the northern frontier twice and Zhuojun three times. During each tour, he built palaces along the way to enjoy himself. Although these tours also had political considerations, they were more to satisfy Yang Guang's extravagant desires.

After the three failed expeditions to Goguryeo, the people could no longer tolerate Yang Guang's extravagance and rebellion, and the war quickly spread across the country.

Yang Guang left Luoyang and went on another southern tour to Yangzhou, intending to stay in Jiangnan for a long time. In 618 AD, Yu Wenzhi launched the Jiangdu Rebellion and assassinated Yang Guang. Soon, the Sui Dynasty fell.

The third is Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, the most playful emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This man is famous in history for not doing his job properly, living in the leopard room instead of the palace, not attending court, loving wars, and wanting to sweep across the northern desert like his ancestor Emperor Yongle.

But the ministers were worried that the emperor would be captured by the Mongols like his great grandfather Zhu Qizhen. He could have fun in the palace, but what if something happened to him outside?

However, Zhu Houzhao still managed to sneak out of the pass with his men, but the guards did not dare to open the door for the emperor. No matter how soft and hard the emperor tried, it was useless until the ministers arrived and took Zhu Houzhao back.

A few months later, Zhu Houzhao escaped from the customs area again. This time he succeeded and fought a battle with Dayan Khan's little prince. After returning to BJ, he rewarded himself according to his merits, named himself the mighty general, the Duke of Zhenguo, and gave him a salary of 5000 dan. He also asked the six ministries to build an official residence for him and pay him a salary.

A few days later, Zhu Houzhao went out of the pass to tour again, treating the emperor as a part-time job and indulging himself in the role of a mighty general. Once, Zhu Houzhao met a singing girl in Shanxi, fell in love with her at first sight, and asked her to be the wife of the mighty general.

This singer was Liu Liangnv, and people around Zhu Houzhao respectfully called her Liu Niangniang, and the legendary Li Fengjie was based on Liu Liangnv. In 1519 AD, Zhu Houzhao received news that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was rebelling in Jiangxi.

Zhu Houzhao was excited to lead the army in person, but he received news that the rebellion had been suppressed by Wang Yangming. Zhu Houzhao deliberately concealed the second news and went on a southern tour under the pretext of leading the army in person, but he never expected that this would be a journey to his death.

Zhu Houzhao's southern tour caused chaos in the counties and prefectures along the way. The favorite ministers around Zhu Houzhao acted tyrannically and aroused public anger.

Since the rebellion had been put down, in order to let the emperor have his fun, Zhu Houzhao's favorite ministers actually asked Wang Yangming to release Prince Ning again and let him rebel again.

Wang Yangming was at a loss for words and handed Prince Ning over to eunuch Zhang Yong, and retired. In 1520, Zhu Houzhao accepted captives in Nanjing. He first released Prince Ning from the cage, and then had someone capture Prince Ning, which he considered as his own suppression of the rebellion, and returned to Beijing with satisfaction.

However, when returning to BJ, Zhu Houzhao suddenly fell into the water and never fell ill again. Half a year later, Zhu Houzhao died of illness at the age of 31.

The fourth is Emperor Qianlong, also known as Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty. When Qianlong ascended the throne, the foundation laid by the reigns of Kangxi and Yongzheng was in place, and the country entered its heyday, the economy prospered, and the treasury was full.

As an important tax-collecting area, Jiangnan was the economic lifeline of the Qing Dynasty and therefore received special attention from emperors Kangxi and Qianlong.

Kangxi made six trips to the south of the Yangtze River in order to win over the officials and gentry and inspect water conservancy projects. Qianlong also wanted to follow his grandfather Kangxi's example and make six trips to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the people's conditions. He also wanted to see the prosperous scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

From 1751 to 1784, Emperor Qianlong made six southern tours to the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, he also made many eastern and western tours to visit famous places around the world, leaving behind various strange stories. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong was the son of the Chen family of Haining, so he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives under the pretext of a southern tour.

Although it is a record of unofficial history, it is true that Emperor Qianlong stayed at the Chen family's home in Haining many times during his southern tour.

In fact, the Chen family of Haining is one of the famous and prestigious families in Jiangnan, known as the family with three cabinet ministers and five ministers in six ministries. In order to win over the officials and gentry in Jiangnan, Qianlong naturally would not miss the Chen family of Haining.

In the opera, Qianlong had numerous romantic encounters during his tour to the south of the Yangtze River. However, in history, Qianlong did not have any romantic encounters during his tour, but he lost two empresses. One of Qianlong's first two empresses died during his tour to the east, and the other broke up with Qianlong during his tour to the south. There are many different opinions on the reasons.

Some say it was because Empress Nara opposed Qianlong's court singing girls, while others say it was because the Empress opposed the Emperor's decision to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Consort Ling that she angrily cut her hair and broke up with the Emperor, and Qianlong never appointed another Empress after that.

Although Qianlong's original intention of going on tours was for political purposes rather than just for personal enjoyment, each tour consumed a lot of manpower and material resources and emptied the national treasury. Officials along the way did everything they could to appear in front of the emperor for free.

Although Qianlong repeatedly warned local officials not to harass the people, officials at all levels turned a blind eye to it, resulting in serious extravagance and waste. In his later years, Qianlong lamented: "I have been to the south of the Yangtze River six times, but it has been useless except for wasting money and manpower."

[Where did Emperor Jianwen go? A little historical knowledge]

Where did Emperor Jianwen go? The fire in 1402 AD caused Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen to disappear from the scene, becoming an unsolved case in Ming history.

No one knows his whereabouts and fate, and even his existence was deliberately erased by Zhu Di. So did Zhu Di send people to look for Emperor Jianwen? Where is Emperor Jianwen most likely hiding? In this video, let us explore the mystery of Emperor Jianwen's whereabouts.

Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen was born in 1377. He was the grandson of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and the son of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao. In 1392, Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao died of illness.

Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Zhu Yunwen, who was only 16 years old, as the crown prince, and launched the Lanyu case the following year, killing many meritorious officials to pave the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne. However, after the meritorious officials issue was resolved, the vassal king issue became Zhu Yunwen's biggest concern.

As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and his parents and brothers and sisters had all passed away before he ascended the throne.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to family affection and doted on his sons. He appointed them as vassal kings and divided them into different places in order to protect the royal family. However, for the young crown prince Zhu Yunwen, these domineering uncles were a huge hidden danger.

In 1398, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang passed away and his grandson Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne. In the first year of his reign, Zhu Yunwen began to reduce the power of the princes. The kings of Zhou, Qi, Xiang, and Dai were successively abolished. Among them, the king of Xiang burned himself to death, which caused a great psychological shock to the kings.

In July 1399, Zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang and the most powerful prince, launched a rebellion in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials and pacifying internal turmoil. Three years later, in 7, he arrived at the gates of Nanjing.

Prince Gu Zhu Tan opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome Prince Yan into the city, and then a raging fire suddenly broke out in the palace. By the time the fire was out, Emperor Jianwen had disappeared.
