Is there any record of Han Chinese invading other countries in history?

In ancient history, one thing is completely inseparable, and that is war. Throughout the ages, there have been many wars, big and small, and the most typical one is the war of changing dynasties. For example, the first dynasty in Chinese history, from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, and then from the Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, was through endless wars, from unification to division, and then to reunification. For most friends who are interested in history, war is one of the inevitable topics in studying history. Because there must be contradictions and disputes between countries, when these contradictions and disputes reach an inevitable height, there will definitely be war. In human history, there are countless wars. Every war is a part of history.

China has the third largest land area in the world today, which is the result of the joint efforts of several generations of China people. In Shang Dynasty or earlier Xia Dynasty, China was actually a very small country. Undeniably, the territory of China has become bigger and bigger through wars of all sizes, but does this mean that ancient China was a very aggressive country? I'm afraid the answer is not so. On the contrary, as we all know, China is an inclusive country. Although it is not martial arts, it is good at fighting, but foreigners don't think so. A foreign netizen asked in a foreign history forum: "Did ancient China invade other countries?" On this issue, there is a history lover in the United States who has specially studied the ancient history of China. So I gave this question a detailed list of cases of aggression against other countries.

Han Dynasty: The Battle of Hanping South Vietnam (South Vietnam was founded by Qin General Zhao Tuo), the Battle of Han's attack on Dawan, the Battle of Han's annihilation of Korea, and the occupation of Vietnam by Han Dynasty (recorded by General Fu Bo)? Tang Dynasty: Silla War (the war after the fall of Koguryo in 668 AD), Koguryo War (the fall of Koguryo in 645-668 AD), War against Western countries (the conquest of Gaochang after 640 AD), and Turkic War (the fall of Turkic by Li Jing in 630 AD)? Ming Dynasty: The Battle of Ceylon in Ming Dynasty (Zheng He's Sailing to the Western Ocean), the Battle of Invasion in Ming Dynasty, and the Battle of Hami (occupied Hami in A.D. 1404 and changed to Hami Wei)? Qing Dynasty: Sino-Burmese War (one of the ten great achievements of Qianlong) vs. Korean War: Every dynasty invaded Japan, such as Ming Dynasty, Later Jin Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and Han Dynasty. (According to Korean historical records): The Yuan Dynasty invaded Japan in its early years. From these wars in history, he came to the conclusion that China is a very aggressive country.

In view of this problem, a China netizen who is a history lover thinks that China was only a small tribe during the Chinese civilization thousands of years ago, but the dynasties changed, the territory gradually expanded and the nationalities gradually merged, which is not aggression. More importantly, we were once the same nation, and some places were not even countries, but small tribes. In the process of integration, it is not so much aggression as annexation, just some. This kind of integration can be regarded as a merger, so China is aggressive and the country in the pot is not backed.

Bian Xiao believes that, in fact, there was mutual annexation of territory in ancient history. For example, when dynasties change, the territory will become smaller and smaller. For example, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the territory area changed. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, many places were not in the present Chinese territory. If these places are not integrated, will they be considered as aggression? It is true that China is a big country in both ancient history and modern times, but our country has always regarded modesty and friendliness as its tradition. This country is extremely aggressive, and we don't back it. We will not give up our inherent territory, and we will not be soft when someone hits our door. We always believe that it is a pleasure to have friends from afar, but if it is a jackal, of course we will fight back!
