Chapter 146
[At first, Wei Zifu was just a dancer in Princess Pingyang's palace, and Wei Qing was just a riding slave. Later, after Emperor Wu of Han brought Wei Zifu into the palace, Wei Qing gradually rose in rank.]
In the sixth year of the Yuanguang reign, the Xiongnu moved southward to raid the Cao Valley, heading straight for Shanggu. Emperor Wu of Han sent four generals to resist them, but two of them failed and one gained nothing. Only Wei Qing succeeded, raiding the Xiongnu's sacred place for offering sacrifices to heaven and killing many Xiongnu nobles.
From then on, Wei Qing won victory after victory, advancing from Shuofang, near the Han Dynasty, all the way to the heart of the Xiongnu, forcing the Xiongnu to retreat again and again.
【Therefore, Wei Qing also became the general of the Han Dynasty.】
Huo Qubing was Wei Qing's nephew. At the age of eighteen, he made great contributions in the battle against the Xiongnu and was named Marquis Guanjun.
In the second year of the Yuanshou reign, Huo Qubing seized the Xiongnu's golden figure used for offering sacrifices to heaven. In the fourth year of the Yuanshou reign, he and Wei Qing led the army to defeat the Xiongnu in Mobei and sealed off the Wolf's Lair Mountain.
[From then on, Fenglangjuxu became the highest honor for a military commander.]
Daqin
Qin Shihuang looked at the two generals with envy. These two generals were too strong. It would be great if they could come to Qin. Then they could bring the Great Wall Legion and destroy the Huns in one fell swoop.
He also knew that such a thing was impossible to achieve, but did the Qin Dynasty at that time have such buried talents? He felt that there must be many.
But how to find these people?
"Li Si, I think we in the Great Qin also have such generals. You should find a way to investigate."
"This...this."
Li Si was so scared that he was sweating profusely. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were both relatives by marriage, but the king's wife's family didn't seem to be a big family either, and he, the prime minister, was associated with relatives by marriage.
It feels like a way to die.
……
"Okay! Okay."
Liu Che laughed loudly in the palace. At that time, Wei Qing had just become a minister and had not yet led troops into battle. With this video, he could transfer him to the army with justification.
After the accumulation of the Wen and Jing dynasties, the Han Dynasty is now very powerful. With these two people, it will definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu. It would be best if the Western Regions can be opened up and he can also develop some foreign trade.
Qing Dynasty
Xianfeng, who had been beaten badly by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was full of excitement. It was hard to say anything else, but he still had many relatives on his side, so he wondered whether he should send them over.
These relatives are always closer to me than the powerful officials mentioned by Tianmu.
That’s it!
The relatives who received the imperial edict felt like the sky had fallen. Is the emperor crazy? He thinks he can't be compared with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's military strength is now quite powerful, and many deputy generals and commanders have died.
I will definitely not go!
[I would like to make two further points here. First, Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian is somewhat biased, as he actually placed Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the "Biographies of Flatterers."]
[Secondly, not all dowries are useful, such as Li Guangli, another relative of Emperor Wu of Han, and Yang Guozhong, the cousin of the imperial concubine in the Tang Dynasty.]
……
After watching this video, Qi Cheng suddenly remembered a news story he had seen before, where people were causing trouble on a happy day because of the betrothal gift issue.
In the past, dowry was very particular and had to be more than the betrothal gift given by the man.
People like these who ask for three or five hundred thousand yuan and only give three quilts and two basins as a dowry when getting married will make the whole family laugh.
After watching the video, Qi Cheng was planning to go out for a walk when Zhou Lu came over with a smile on his face. He said that he had made a fortune and planned to take Qi Cheng to see the world.
"You got rich?" Qi Cheng was a little surprised. "There are actually people riding on your shabby boat."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I made a lot of money this holiday, almost equivalent to half a year's salary of mine. Stop talking nonsense and follow me."
On the way, Zhou Lu introduced in detail that many tourists would come to take his boat to go fishing during the National Day holiday, and he could also contact the hotel.
