The Han Dynasty has lasted for more than 400 years, in fact, there are still more than 100 years Why

The situation of the Three Kingdoms is due to the dictatorship of the eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to the fall of the imperial power, and in the later period, the foreign relative He Jin and the eunuchs lost both sides in the struggle for power, the royal majesty was lost, and the weakening of the imperial power directly led to the establishment of local princes, and then the Three Kingdoms were formed.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, political corruption, mediocrity of the imperial court, local looting and exploitation, and the annexation of land by powerful landlords made the people displaced, living in hardship, the economy withered, people's hearts fluctuated, and the political crisis intensified. Since a large amount of land was in the hands of powerful landlords and the Liu clan, they had a lot of social resources in their hands. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, a large number of new policies were implemented, and the interests of the old interests were not guaranteed.

As a result, these people, who had a lot of social resources, rose up against Wang Mang. The rule of the Western Han Dynasty for more than 200 years made the word "Han" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and almost all the surrounding alien races were proud to join the Han Dynasty, and the foreign rulers changed their surnames to Liu one after another. There are many people who want to be Chinese.

That's why there were a large number of clan uprisings in an attempt to re-establish the Han Empire, and in the end they succeeded.

The war situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was fundamentally different from that of the Western Han Dynasty. The rebels in the late Western Han Dynasty tried to rebuild the Han Empire, and the rebels in the Eastern Han Dynasty began to seek their own benefit. In fact, the rebels of the Eastern Han Dynasty were no longer old interests, but some proletarian peasants who had lost their land.

Under the influence of religion, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the emperor was held by eunuchs and relatives. Relatives controlled the army, and eunuchs monitored the emperor's daily life in the palace.

The famous Ten Standing Attendants and the Great General He Jin are one example. Moreover, the relatives are just like the queen Lu Pheasant back then, and the relatives are divided, and the Liu clan has no status, so there is no power and wealth, and there is no capital to fight. Liu Bei is the Liu clan, the descendant of Liu Jing, the king of Zhongshan, and he only makes a living by weaving straw shoes.

Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou, is also a clan, but he is only a assassin. These are the two that stand out.

Both the East and the West, the appeal of the surname Liu is okay.

Because there is Liu Xiu Zaixing the Han family as an example.

So Liu Bei, a homeless man, ran to **, and some people ran to the ** - unfortunately it didn't work, otherwise it was the Sanxing Han Dynasty The clan in the late Western Han Dynasty was actually far away, and it couldn't be farther-Liu Xiu, Liu Penzi, were all miscellaneous cards to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at least there were Liu Biao, Liu Yu, Liu Yan, and these serious clans as princes.

Because the clan is no longer good, Liu Bei rose too late.

<> "The Unification War of the Eastern Han Dynasty: When did the Eastern Han Dynasty complete the unification of the world?"

The main members of the Red Mei Army were poor people who had lost their land, and although they supported Liu Penzi as emperor, they did not have the ability to establish a complete and consolidated regime.

The powerful and landlords in Chang'an and its vicinity had to unite and build a dock fort to protect themselves against the Red Mei Army. The hundreds of thousands of troops of Red Mei quickly consumed the grain and grass in the city, so they set fire to all the palace buildings, plundered them and then flowed westward. Liu Xiubu took the opportunity to attack Deng Yu into Chang'an.

This majestic General Deng was not pure in the battle against the Red Mei Army, and he has always lost more than he won. In September of the second year of Jianwu (26), Fan Chong and other generals led troops back to the east, defeated Deng Yu again, and recovered Chang'an City. So Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu sent Feng Yi into the pass to command the battle in place of Deng Yu, and warned him before leaving

The focus of the conquest was not to conquer the city, but to pacify the people and gather the exiles. ”

Just in time for the poor harvest in Guanzhong that year, there was a great famine, and the Red Mei army wanted to return to their hometown to find food, but Emperor Guangwu sent generals to garrison Xin'an (now Mianchidong, Henan) and Yiyang (now Yiyangxi, Henan) and other cities, blocking their way. Feng Yi immediately led the main force of the Red Mei Army to fight in Huayin (now Huayin, Shaanxi), for more than 60 consecutive days, fought dozens of battles, and gradually regained the upper hand.

In the first month of the second year (27), Feng Yi selected warriors, wearing the clothes of the Red Mei Army, in an ambush in Kundi (that is, Kunshan, between the two counties of Mianchi and Luoning in present-day Henan), and the two sides suddenly killed during the decisive battle. The remnants fled to Yiyang, Emperor Guangwu personally teased the army to wait, the Red Eyebrow Army had no way out, Liu Penzi, Fan Chong and others had to present the jade seal of the country and ask for surrender - the jade seal was originally in the hands of Wang Mang, the Green Forest Army killed Wang Mang and dedicated the jade seal to the First Emperor, and later the Red Eyebrow Army snatched it from the hands of the First Emperor, and finally fell into the pocket of Emperor Guangwu.

After destroying the Red Mei Army and consolidating the Guanzhong and Henan regions, in the face of the major separatist forces in the Quartet, Emperor Guangwu adopted the strategy of first determining the eastern part of the country and then taking Longyou. In November of the third year of Jianwu (27), he asked Dr. Taizhong, who was familiar with the situation in Longxi, how to guard against an attack from the west if he used troops in the east? Lai Xi proposed the strategy of uniting Long to control Shu, that is, to unite the hustle and bustle of Longxi and contain Gongsun Shu in Sichuan.

So Emperor Guangwu sent an envoy to Longxi.

Kui Huan has been hesitant about the question of uniting the Han Dynasty or uniting Gongsun Shu. In October of the fourth year of Jianwu (28), he sent the Suide general Ma Yuan to Chengdu. Because of the cold reception by Gongsun Shu, after Ma Yuan returned to Tianshui, he scolded and said:

Ziyang (Gongsun Shu's table character) is a frog ear at the bottom of the well, and he is arrogant, and he is not as good as concentrating on the East. So Kui Huan sent horses to Luoyang again. Emperor Guangwu accepted it wholeheartedly, took the opportunity to subdue Ma Yuan, and asked him to promote the Kui Huan to join the Han to attack Shu.

In November of the same year, Gongsun Shu sent troops north out of Chencang (now Baoji, Shaanxi) to attack Guanzhong.

Because the Western Han Dynasty was more prosperous. Both the Eastern and Western Han dynasties are known as the Han Dynasty and were dynasties after the Qin Dynasty in Chinese history. The Western Han Dynasty was founded by Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was founded by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu.

During this period, there was a short-lived new dynasty, Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty for fifteen years.

The Han Dynasty was a great historical stage in the world. In the process of unifying the country, Liu Xiu issued six edicts for the emancipation of slaves, and three times forbade the cruel treatment of slaves. In order to increase the number of laborers, he also freed a large number of prisoners and strictly forbade them to become slaves.

Liu Xiu also ordered tax relief and forced labor, allowing peasants who had fled their hometowns during the war to return to their hometowns to continue farming. In addition, in terms of political rule, Liu Xiu advocated Confucianism, reused literati**, and tried to take a more lenient approach to political affairs. Here in Liu Xiu, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a scene of leveling up in society.

During the reign of Liu Xiu, after experiencing the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty and the decline of Wu Mang's reign, there was a social prosperity. This period is known in history as Guangwu Zhongxing.

<> during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was one of the most powerful empires in the world. At that time, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and opened up the famous Silk Road for the first time, making the Han Dynasty the center of the world's leading system. Foreigners began to call Chinese Han Chinese.

Sima Qian's "Records of the History" has been famous through the ages. The Historical Records records in detail the history of the Han Dynasty from the emperor to Emperor Wu, especially the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as the historical records of the late Qin and early Han dynasties. They are beautiful and vivid.

This is our country.

Due to the beginning of the history of the Bible in China, Shiji is also the most familiar history book for Chinese because of its special position in Chinese historiography. Therefore, Chinese are familiar with the history of the pre-Qin and the history of the late Qin and early Han dynasties. The Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Han Xin.

We can all cherish these things, so thank you Mr. Sima Qian. Both Liu Xiu and his son believed in Confucianism. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was freedom of speech, and no one was killed for speaking.

Liu Xiu abolished the crown prince. A new king ascends the throne. The deposed prince can still enjoy peace.

This was absolutely impossible in the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu issued several edicts to free slaves and prohibit the mistreatment of slaves. Liu Xiu also ordered a reduction in taxes and forced labor. Liu Xiu adopted a policy of self-cultivation and stimulating vitality.

The reuse of Confucian scholars made the Han economy prosperous and the people loved life and work. The country is rich and strong, and the people are rich. The history is known as Guangwu Zhongxing.

However, compared to the Western Han Dynasty, the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty was too prosaic due to the dominance of Confucianism during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
