Why could the Yuan and Qing armies fight on the Tibetan Plateau, but the Tang army could not occupy

Because the predecessors of the Yuan army and the Qing army were both ethnic minorities and nomadic troops, they were born good at grassland and plateau operations, while the Tang army was both from the Central Plains and did not adapt to the plateau area, so they could not occupy Tibet.

Because the strength of Tibet was very strong at that time. The main opponent of the Tang Dynasty at that time was Tibet, and later the two sides reached an agreement on non-aggression against each other.

Because the strength of Tibet in the Tang Dynasty was particularly strong, and its strength reached its peak, the Tang Dynasty could not defeat it.

It's Li Er's fault. The Tang Dynasty defeated the Tubo who invaded Songzhou, Li Er not only did not ask for compensation in order to show his generosity, but also married the princess to Zampu, and the princess brought a large number of medical, agricultural, industrial, and commercial and political books. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty raised its own fierce rivals.

After Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the technological advantage between Datang and Tubo, the advantage of the first-class armor generation difference was gone, and the home advantage of Tubo on the plateau was still obvious

Because the Yuan army and the Qing army originally lived in grassland tribes, they could adapt to the climatic conditions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; The Tang Dynasty radiated outward with Chang'an City as the center, and the climatic conditions of life were very different from those of Tibet, and people who had been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau knew that most people would have altitude sickness, so the Tang army could not achieve victory in attacking Tibet, which was very likely due to altitude sickness affecting the combat ability of the soldiers.

Didn't you say that the weather had something to do with it? During the Tang Dynasty, the climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau warmed, and it was possible to cultivate land to produce food, and a strong political power was established.

The most important thing is the introduction of Buddhism

During the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was strong in combat, but later declined

Because of altitude sickness, the Tang army was not adapted to plateau operations, and the Qing army and the Yuan army were different, the Yuan army was extremely powerful at that time, and surrendered without fighting Tibet, and the Qing army was also a brave and warlike minority, and it was easy to fight it if it was good at plateau operations.

Because during the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Tibetan army was relatively strong, coupled with the strength of the army during the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to attack Tibet.

The most important reason is the climate. During the Tang Dynasty, the world temperature underwent earth-shaking changes, causing the world to gradually enter a stage of temperature climbing. Tibet is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and as the temperature rises, altitude sickness becomes more severe, and outsiders are unable to adapt to the climate here.

And at this time, although Datang's economy was developing, it was still surrounded by countless foreign enemies, and it had no doppelganger. On the other hand, the Yuan army and the Qing army are different, the nationalities of the two dynasties are not Han Chinese, the people are rough, coupled with the drop in temperature, naturally occupy an absolute advantage.

1.The change of world temperature has led to the regional distinctiveness of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Zhu Kezhen, a modern Chinese meteorologist, has done relevant research on air temperature, and since the ninth century AD, the whole world has entered the stage of global warming. Tubo is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region of China, with an average altitude of about 4,000 meters and thin oxygen. The rising temperature has warmed the originally cold climate of Tibet, and the original snowy wasteland has become a verdant plateau pasture.

In this way, Tibet's economic strength has been greatly enhanced, animal husbandry and agriculture have opportunities to develop, and the population of Tibet has also increased greatly.

But one side will benefit and the other side will lose, and most of the Tang Dynasty lived at a normal altitude, and its temperature was not much different. Tubo was located in the plateau region, and the Tang army did not occupy a geographical advantage when attacking. Originally, there was a difference in economic strength between the two places, but the rise in temperature narrowed the gap, and the advantage of the Tang Army did not exist.

However, by the time of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, the world temperature slowly rose again, and the advantages of Tibet were gradually lost, and naturally they could not resist the attack of the two armies.

2.The national conditions of the Tang Dynasty

During the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was still in a period of development and experienced a long war, and the Tang Dynasty at this time was in need of cultivation and recuperation. Although the strength of Tibet is not strong, and it is completely impossible to resist the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is not the only enemy. There are Turks in the north, barbarians in the south, Goguryeo in the east, Persia, Gaochang and so on in the west, which can be said to be attacked from all sides, so the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is in a state of dispersion, and naturally it cannot take Tibet in one fell swoop.

During the Tang Dynasty, Tibet was strong, and in the Yuan and Qing dynasties, Tibet declined, the Tusi were divided, and Buddhism was in power, which was easy to compare.

After the Tang army defeated the Tubo army, Tubo Songtsen Gampo admitted and showed respect, at that time no one could see any threat to Tubo, and in the eyes of the Central Plains, the value of Tubo was too low, far inferior to the Western Regions, so Tang Taizong Li Shimin did not destroy Tubo, but went to attack the Western Regions and Mobei.

Because in fact, the people of the Tang Dynasty were still relatively enlightened at that time, so they did not use a hard-hitting way to forcibly collect and pay these places. That's why it's the result.

The Qing Dynasty was founded by the Manchus because they were adapted to life on the plateau and were brave and warlike, while the Tang Dynasty lived in the Central Plains and did not adapt to the environment.

Because the Qing army lived in a relatively harsh environment since childhood, they were able to adapt to the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but the Tang army lived in a superior environment, so they could not adapt to the ring core of Turpan.

Turpan is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tang army has no grain and grass to respond here, so it cannot be attacked.

Because Turpan at that time made rapid progress under the leadership of Princess Wencheng, the Tang Dynasty promoted the friendly development of the two countries with peace in order not to cause trouble.

Because the Yuan army and the Qing army have been stationed in the frontier, they have long been accustomed to altitude sickness, while the Tang army has been stationed in the interior, and the body cannot get used to the feeling brought by altitude sickness.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a place with a relatively harsh natural environment, and they can fight there because they have a good physical fitness and ability to adapt to the environment. The Tang army had no way to fight because he couldn't resist because of his physical fitness. The ability to adapt to the environment is also not good.

Because the development of military technology during the Tang Dynasty was not so powerful, it was very troublesome to fight long distances at that time.
