Did ancient China fight against ancient Rome?

The Han Dynasty of China, circa 36 BCE, may have fought with a Roman mercenary army.

Hanshu Chen Tang Biography: In 36 BC, the Western Han Dynasty's Western Regions Protector Gan Yanshou and Deputy Captain Chen Tang led 40,000 soldiers to the west to conquer the Xiongnu in Zhizhi City (Jiangbul City in the former Soviet Union) ......During the campaign, the soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty noticed that there was a very peculiar mercenary army under Shan Yu, who formed a "sandwich fish scale array" with more than 100 infantry, and set up a "heavy wooden city" outside the earth city. And this offensive formation with round shields to form a fish-scale array, and the defensive means of building a heavy wooden city outside the earthen city, were the unique combat methods of the Roman army at that time.

Could the peculiar team that Chen Tang and others saw back then be the remnants of the First Legion of Ancient Rome that disappeared 17 years ago? After that, the Battle of Zhizhicheng: The Han army won a complete victory, beheading 1,518 people, capturing 145 people alive, and surrendering more than 1,000 people.

Gan Yanshou, Chen Tang and others brought these prisoners of war back to China. At the same time, a county called "Lijing" suddenly appeared on the map of the western Han River, and the Lijing Castle was built at the same time. A record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty:

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Lijing County was set up and the country was named County. "Lijing" is exactly what the Chinese called Rome at that time. Since it was "named a county", then this new county must have been set up to accommodate the Romans.

Moreover, this Lijing County was also the control area of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao during the Three Kingdoms period, and some historians believe that the equipment and formation of Ma Chao's army are somewhat similar to the Roman army.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the ancient Roman Empire was gone, and in the Han Dynasty we fought against an ancient Roman army, which was coerced by the Xiongnu to fight with us, as mentioned in the **10 sets of exploration discoveries. In the end, this army was captured by the army of the Western Han Dynasty, and later lived in the village. You can take a look at the following information to find out.

It should not be said, if what Teddyzeus said is true, it is only the remnants of the Roman legions, and it cannot be said that the Roman Empire cannot defeat the Great Han.

However, the Han Dynasty fought with the Xiongnu, and (the Northern Xiongnu failed to move westward) and the Xiongnu fought with the Roman Empire, but they still failed. (Attila).But to a certain extent, it led to the demise of Western Rome.

If Mongolia is regarded as a part of China, it will be fought, but I think that in the current situation of Mongolia, the glory does not belong to us, and we can only be classified as a group of invaded countries.

Only the Yuan Dynasty is most likely, and they all hit Eastern Europe......

It seems that it was fought during the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuan. We conquered them.

1. The problem of distance, the communication in ancient times was not developed, and the longer the distance, the more difficult it was to manage, even if China was defeated, it would not be possible to manage it here (a government decree should be 800 miles to run on the road for 3 months).

2. There are too many small countries in the middle, and they are all popular light cavalry tactics, and it is difficult for the heavy infantry corps that is more restrained in ancient Rome to maintain logistical security.

3. In terms of 10,000-level battles, Rome is very powerful, but in terms of 100,000-level tactics, Rome is inexperienced, so once it is carried out with ancient China, there is not much chance of victory.

Extended information: Historically, there have been exchanges between Rome and the Han Dynasty, and on the excavated Han Dynasty murals, there have been the signs of my winged angel and the double-headed eagle, which were the symbols of the Roman army at that time.

These two powerful empires can be said to be the two most powerful military countries in the world at that time, in the historical records, China and Rome did not have a large-scale conflict, but in the Gansu mountain village there was a Roman village, according to legend, this village was to watch over Roman war criminals.

Why didn't you say that ancient Rome didn't fight China, you have to find out the environment in which ancient Rome was located at that time. At that time, the environment of ancient Rome belonged to the Himalayas, and there were several oceans in between. Therefore, in terms of the environment at that time, ancient Rome could not defeat China, because the era in which China lived at that time was also different, and it may also be because of the backwardness of navigation technology.

Because the geography is not supportive, the two places are far apart, and there are Himalayas in between, so it is not so easy to come.

The mysteries of Han and Rome in the same era! I don't know if it's destined by God.

We all know that Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, but you know that we also sent people to Rome during the Han Dynasty! During our Qin Dynasty, there was a religion called "Great Qin Jingjiao", and this Great Qin was not the Qin of Qin Shi Huang, but - Rome.

Hello everyone, I'm Sao Ren and Moke (the original creator of the field of history) and I have historical stories every day. Humorously let everyone understand history, history is not boring. Welcome your attention! Like-minded friends can also learn together! Welcome to follow!

One: a good relationship is profitable.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a group of people (missions) who came to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty of China with ivory and rhino horns. Historical sources of the Eastern Han Dynasty record that this mission came from Great Qin (that is, Rome). In fact, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Emperor period, Gan Ying was sent to Rome, this time earlier than the Roman mission to the Han Dynasty!

However, it did not succeed, and when he went to the Mediterranean, someone persuaded Gan Ying and said: "This sea is not good, it will take three years!" In the end, Gan Ying went home.

Silk is known to everyone, in fact, before the opening of the Silk Road. Silk has also been to Rome for a long time.

The opening of the Silk Road was the great idea of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was originally intended to strategically unite the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu, and Zhang Qian also sent an envoy to the Western Regions at this time, from the Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang, and traveled west to the Pamir Plateau by the northern foot of Kunlun to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. But the Huns were not stupid, and they knew that Zhang Qian would definitely not be good for him if he passed, so he detained Zhang Qian. This buckle is ten years of wife and children.

I can't forget my mission when I run out, and I went to the Dayue clan and said: "Our king wants to kill the Huns with you, what do you think?" "Da Yue's Shan Yu said:

Dude, it's not that I don't want to. You see, we are living a good life now, and it is not good for anyone to fight again, we don't want to fight. "yes, who remembers ten years later?

However, when Zhang Qian returned to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he told him what he had seen on the road. The sweat and blood of Dawan and the grape wine are the favorites of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

And the well-known country of rest (which is now Iran). These nation-states between the Han Dynasty and Rome prospered because of these two world powers, and their economies developed greatly.

Second: it is too far apart.

It's too far apart, everyone knows that it's not worth it to fight between the two empires so far. It's better to earn money together and take what you need!

Although the two countries were far apart, it did not hinder the communication between the two countries, but it is worth mentioning that the Roman emperor who was sent to the Han Dynasty at that time was Mark. Aurelius. Anthony, and China happens to be Emperor Huan of Han.

The era of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was a node when the Han Dynasty (Eastern Han Dynasty) began to decline.

Third: the indescribable fate.

This is worth mentioning the end of the Roman Republic and the Western Han Dynasty, and the beginning of the Roman Empire and the Eastern Han Dynasty almost simultaneously. Whether these two world-class powers in the same period is really a historical coincidence or for some other reason we don't know!

The Roman and Han dynasties did not have the conditions and necessity to fight at all!

Alexander did not come to the borders of ancient China at the time of his crusade, and the farthest point he reached was the Indus Valley in ancient India. If you want to come to China, you have to go north from the Indus Valley, cross the Green Mountains (today's Pamir Plateau), cross the Taklamakan Desert, and the Hexi Corridor to reach China. Alexander at this time did not know that there was also a China.

Alexander's ambition was great, he wanted to rule the whole world, and he also demanded the whole world as his home when he went on an expedition, but when his army reached the Indus Valley, it met with strong resistance, and Alexander's army was terrified by the war elephants of the Indian army. At this time, the war-weariness in the army was also growing, so Alexander had to withdraw his troops. When he returned to his capital and was considering a new plan for the march, he died suddenly.

If: 1. The resistance Alexander encountered when he came to the steppes of Central Asia was not strong enough that he would not go south to the Indus Valley, and Alexander might reach China.

2. Alexander's army was well advanced in the Indus Valley, and his men were not war-weary and their morale was high, and perhaps when he conquered India and continued eastward to the Pacific Ocean, he might march north into China.

3. When Alexander withdraws his army, he will not die suddenly, and may re-crusade east and come to China.

History cannot be assumed, and due to a series of factors in history, in the end Alexander did not come to China. Of course, at this time, China was at the height of the Qin State, and it would be really interesting if the two empires met.

1. The distance is too far, and the logistics supply is not good.

2. There are other countries on the way, 3. If you are not familiar with the situation, don't be copied from your hometown.

Ancient Rome was a very large empire, its main development direction was in the Mediterranean region, mainly in the west and other places, its expansion rate was very fast, but it was difficult to preserve the land it had obtained, and China was not so easy to conquer.

Because the ancient Roman Empire was too far away from China at that time, and the Chinese dynasty was also very strong at that time, ancient Rome did not fight China.

Because ancient Rome at that time was not very strong in terms of maps, it did not understand the strength of China at that time.

Which one is full and stretches the battle line so long, and not all of them are Alexander the Great can expand the territory so much, even Alexander the Great has a limit.
