Was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a reckless soldier or a national hero?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a national hero, and if there was no Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then the Xiongnu in the north would have become a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to defeat the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu no longer dared to invade the Han Dynasty, but also increased the burden on the people, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was both a reckless soldier and a national hero.

Although the long-term use of troops against the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led to the poverty of the country, the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty greatly dealt a blow to the ambition of the ethnic minorities to invade the Central Plains, and he was a national hero.

Hero. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the threat of the northern Xiongnu was completely solved, and a stable living environment was created for future generations.

Most of the records of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the history of the history are positive and praised! If you want to find his shortcomings, just say that he is a reckless soldier!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned for 50 years in order to expand his territory, and Qinghu attacked the Xiongnu in 44 years. During this period, the war reputation was exhausted, and all the wealth of the Western Han Dynasty was exhausted, so that the imperial court finances and people's production were all for the military expenditure of the frontier.

Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did fight hundreds of wars during his lifetime, and he was very fond of forming armies, and many people served at that time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prefers to fight with others, and if a small country provokes them, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will send troops to attack, and it is not until previous years that he realizes this shortcoming of his.

Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obviously didn't have any strength at that time, but he had been crusading against other countries, and they all advised him not to do it, and he didn't listen to everyone's advice, which finally led to the destruction of the country.

Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did have more merit than demerit, which is the general evaluation of him by historians. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was reckless and launched wars against the Xiongnu many times, losing a lot of national strength and reducing the country's population by half, he was also helpless to do so, because in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the border of the Western Han Dynasty was repeatedly harassed by the Xiongnu.

I think the merits outweigh the demerits, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted the development of the Western Han Dynasty to a certain extent, achieved great unification in all aspects, expanded the territory, defended the country's land autonomy, and protected the safety of the people.

I agree with this point of view, although the war led to five labor and seven injuries in the country, but it effectively resisted foreign enemies, and recovered the Western Regions, and all countries came to the dynasty, and the strength was still very strong at that time.

On the positive side, Emperor Wu expanded the territory of China from all directions, east, west, north and south, and militarily defeated the fierce nomadic Xiongnu, so that the various countries of that period did not dare to face up to our Han Empire, the Han Dynasty army during that period was the most capable army in the world, think about the Xiongnu who were driven to Europe by Huo Quai, and the thirteen-nation alliance could not stop its sharpness and it can be seen that the Han Dynasty army is strong, even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, its army did not decline to **, think about those famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period; Commercially, the eastern section of the Silk Road to West Asia was opened up during the period of Emperor Wu, and the ownership of the countries in the Western Regions was also first realized during that period, and Xinjiang is still China's territory until now. Ideologically, Confucianism has established the supremacy of Chinese ideology and culture, formulated Confucian norms such as the "Three Outlines and Five Constants", and many customs and folk culture of our nation originated in that period.

On the negative side, Emperor Wu's conquest resulted in a large number of Chinese deaths. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned for more than 50 years (140-87 BC), several crusades against the Xiongnu, the sea was wasted, the population was halved, 50% of the people died, Emperor Wu had a population of more than 50 million in the early years, and only about 25 million in the last years. In the end, the people lived in hardship and the country was in turmoil, wasn't it that Emperor Wu himself also had a performance of "Luntai's guilty edict" at the end!

My opinion is that Emperor Wu --- meritorious service to the country, and a great crime for the people!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not reckless, which was also forced by the general environment at that time, if he did not use troops against the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty would always be oppressed by the Xiongnu, which was a major threat.

Because during the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu in the north were very arrogant, so that the Han Dynasty in China at that time had to make peace with them. In this way, a major war can be avoided, but during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was ashamed.

Looking at history from now, only the ruthless military efforts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have created today's Chinese territory, and he is a person who has made great contributions to Chinese culture, so everyone likes it.

Because what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did was too much in line with the ideas in their hearts, and they attacked strongly, people did not understand how much impact Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's series of actions had on the Han Dynasty, but they only knew that he was eloquent and strategic, defeated the Xiongnu, and raised his eyebrows for the Han Dynasty, and did not want to know about his exhaustion of national strength.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, since he succeeded to the throne, has been committed to fighting the Xiongnu, wasting a lot of financial and material resources, causing the economy of the society to be destroyed, the people's lives are turbulent, and finally led to the chaos in the world.

The Western Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu with reckless force, and finally worked hard to harm the people and went to the road of destruction. Among the various dynasties, only the Western Han Dynasty died by force.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty went to attack Goguryeo with a reckless army, and sent millions of troops to attack three times, causing the people to live in dire straits, and finally rebelled.
