Historically, there have been exchanges between Rome and Dahan. My winged angel and double-headed eagle logo appeared on the murals of Han Dynasty, which was the symbol of Roman army at that time.
In addition, according to a large number of historical records, Roman nobles used to wear clothes made of silk as a fashion. According to Roman classics, these clothes are all from an oriental company called? Cyrus. This country? Cyrus. Translated, it means silk. At that time, only China produced silk in the world.
These two powerful empires can be said to be the two countries with the strongest military strength in the world at that time. According to historical records, there was no large-scale conflict between China and Rome, but there was a Roman village in a mountain village in Gansu Province. It is said that this village is used to hold Roman war criminals. Why?
The Battle of Calais, the fiasco of Rome
In 53 BC, the Roman army invaded the rest empire. Before the rest of the empire, it was the territory of the Selugu dynasty. Being oppressed for a long time, the people live in dire straits. This situation changed in the third century BC. At that time, there was a nomadic people who migrated from the Iranian plateau and lived on the grassland for a long time, so their living habits were very similar to those of the Huns in the Central Plains. The people of this nation are tall and burly, and the folk customs are tough.
After they came to the rest empire, they fought against the high-handed rule with the locals. After years of war, it was difficult for the two sides to win or lose, and the rest empire proposed to pay tribute to peace. I thought that the rest would get a stable development period, but at this time the Roman army launched an attack on it.
One is a Roman army of 40 thousand people, and the other is a weak kingdom that has not achieved independence after years of war. There is a big gap in strength between them. It is reasonable to say that this war will also end with the victory of the Roman army, but because of the unfamiliar environment, the Roman legion was defeated by the remaining cavalry.
According to historical records, 20,000 Roman troops died in battle, and Roman consul crassus also died in the war. In addition, 65,438+0,000 Roman troops fled, and about 65,438+0,000 Roman soldiers were captured and transferred to eastern Parthia for resettlement.
For the Roman Empire, this war is an indelible shame. After the war, the Roman legion realized the weakness of the infantry phalanx under the cavalry's iron hoof and began to cultivate its own cavalry army.
Go to the western regions to win the battle.
In 36 BC, it was 17 years since the end of the Battle of Calais. In the Western Han Dynasty, Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou were sent to the Western Regions at the orders of Emperor Han Yuan. As early as the reign of Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a serious division within the Xiongnu, and the original complete Xiongnu regime became fragmented. Among them, Uhaanyehe, who was in charge of the Southern Xiongnu, chose to take refuge in the Big Man, while Zhili Khan chose to fight against the Big Man. After successively annexing the three western regions, his strength became stronger and stronger. When Dahan went to the Western Regions, he imprisoned and killed many envoys.
Zhi Zhi Khan knew that he would definitely get revenge from the big fellow, so he ran to Kangzhou. At that time, King Kangju married his daughter to him, and relied on his army to attack Wusun and Chigu City many times. In the face of a powerful offensive, Wu Sun did not dare to strike back and fled thousands of miles away, becoming more and more powerful.
Zhihan became more and more conceited. He killed the daughter of King Kangju, and in addition, he forced the small countries around him to pay tribute to him. The Han Dynasty sent people to Kangju many times to ask him for the body of the deceased. Zhi Zhi not only refused to give it, but also humiliated the envoys of the Han Dynasty many times, and he was extremely arrogant.
Shang Chen and Gan Yanshou went to the Western Regions this time to stabilize the countries in the Western Regions. When they saw this situation, they launched a joint attack on Zhi Zhi by the western countries and the Han Dynasty. The Allies reached Zhi Zhi all the way, and Zhi Zhi Khan was beheaded in the war.
Mysterious villages, strange customs
According to historical records, in this war, the enemy adopted the strategy of putting a fish scale array and building a heavy wooden city, but it still failed. Han captured enemy soldiers alive 145, and thousands of enemy soldiers surrendered after the war, indicating that Han should have brought back many prisoners in this war. Dubs, an American sinologist, thinks that these prisoners are not Huns, but Romans, because the fish scale array and the heavy wooden city are typical Roman formations. Besides, where does he think the prisoners have been taken? Li Gan? , which is today's Gansu area. He said that because some historical records mentioned this war? Li Gan? , ? Li Gan? Is it? Daqin? And then what? Daqin? It is also used as a synonym for Rome.
In order to explore this result, an Australian expert went to Gansu Province for a field survey. He found Zhelai Village in Gansu County. Now this village has been renamed Roman village. He found some villagers in the village. They are tall, with deep eyes, high noses and curly hair. He thinks these people are descendants of the Romans in the past. This statement once sparked heated discussion. After learning about it, the local government thought it was an excellent opportunity to develop local tourism, so it built many buildings with Roman elements in the village.
However, many scholars have expressed their opposition to this. What do they think? Li Gan? It doesn't mean Rome. Although it is recorded in the history books, it was Wei Lue, a history book of the Three Kingdoms Period, that first associated this word with Daqin, but what about the Western Han Dynasty? Li Gan? In fact, it refers to Egypt. It was not until 30 BC that Egypt became a province of Rome that the word was gradually brought into Rome.
As for the big fellow? Li Gan? In fact, this place was set much earlier than the Battle of Calais. Judging from the unearthed Han bamboo slips, this area was established in the second year of Shenjue, that is, in 60 BC, so when this place name existed in the Han Dynasty, the Roman legion did not surrender.
Although all kinds of deeds show that the legend of Roman village is false, many people still disagree, because this area has unique burial customs. Generally speaking, the choice of Han tombs depends on the local feng shui, but regardless of the local feng shui, when buried after death, the head faces west. So some people speculate that they have a unique connection with the west.
In order to solve this puzzle, Lanzhou University sent a team of experts to this village to study the Y chromosome of local people, hoping to find out who their ancestors were from the chromosome. According to research, the chromosomes of local people are closer to those of northern Han people.
On the whole, the Roman village is actually a lie. The reason why it can be recognized by many people is that the local government has created a stunt to develop local tourism. The practice of developing local economy is worthy of recognition, but it is wrong to tamper with history and fabricate lies.
