Why did the lost Roman Legion appear in China? Was there a war between ancient China and the Roman Empire?

Zhelaizhai Village, located at 10 km south of Yongchang County, Gansu Province, was established during the reign of the Western Han and Yuan emperors in China to house the conquerors of the ancient Roman Empire. People may ask, ancient China never fought against the Roman Empire. Where do Roman descendants come from? This is a historical unsolved case. In order to uncover a major historical unsolved case in the world, historians have been searching for the hearts of women all over the world for 259 years.

A bitter ancient war in 53 BC was the origin of this historical unsolved case, which was the first year of Ganlu in the Western Han Dynasty in China. At that time, crassus, the consul of the Roman Empire, assembled seven legions, about 45,000 people, and launched a war of aggression against the rest. However, what the powerful Roman army didn't expect was that in a place where kale was made, they were accidentally besieged by a rest army, and the leader crassus was captured and beheaded. Finally, crassus's eldest son, the leader of the First Corps, Publi Uz, led more than 6,000 people to break through.

More than 30 years later, in 20 BC, the Roman Empire signed a peace treaty with Rest. Since then, the Roman Empire naturally demanded the repatriation of soldiers captured in the Battle of Calais 33 years ago, and looked for the whereabouts of Publi Uss that broke out that year. However, Wu Gongsi and the remnants of his escape have disappeared into the still air. This problem has been puzzling historians in Rome and the world. Where did the Roman army go?

In the 1940s, the famous British sinologist De Xiao Gan did a lot of work in this field, which attracted people's attention. 1947, Xiao gan wrote the article "Li Siege in Ancient China". The article begins with a clear meaning: China called the Roman Empire "Bali" in ancient times, and later renamed it "Daqin". Biography of Daqin in the later Han Dynasty begins with the sentence "Daqin State-a famous plowman". Then the article points out that there were only Kuqa and Wensu in Xinjiang in ancient China, which was the old name for attacking immigrants. The emergence of "Bali" city is also related to the existence of foreign nationals. In addition, the author quoted many historical materials to show that Bali City first appeared in the territory of the Western Han Dynasty in China in the 20th century BC, which coincided with the time when the Roman Empire requested the repatriation of prisoners of war to rest in peace. This seems unlikely to be a historical coincidence. This discovery points to a speculation that the Roman Expeditionary Force, which broke through in the Battle of Calais, came to China by a strange coincidence when their old country was looking for them, and settled down under the Qilian Mountains.

According to the historical clues provided by this article, Chinese and foreign scholars have consulted a large number of relevant historical books, and finally got important enlightenment from Ban Gu's book Han Shu Chen Tang Chuan. According to the records in the book, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang, the lieutenant of the Western Han Dynasty, led more than 40,000 soldiers to crusade against Zhi Zhi Khan. When they were fighting in Zhi Zhi, they saw a strange army here, which happened to be in 36 BC. There is a "heavy wooden city" vault outside Tucheng, with "more than a hundred infantry, fish scales at the door, and martial arts". The construction of the "heavy wooden city" fortifications and the fish-scale formation of the circular shield described in the book are the most typical formations of the ancient Roman army. Therefore, historians infer that this strange army is probably the remnant of the Roman army that broke through and disappeared in the Battle of Calais in 17.

It is said that the Han army led by Chen Tang conquered "Chongmu City" and won with "145 prisoners, minus one thousand". The army of the Western Han Dynasty won a great victory in the battle of Zhi Zhi. According to this important historical data, scholars gradually cleared the fog of history and sorted out the remnants of the ancient Roman army, that is, the fleeing army led by Publi Uss turned to rest the plateau because of the blockade of the rest army, looking for opportunities to move eastward, and finally broke a hole in the lax eastern defense line, fled to Central Asia, then defected to Zhi Zhi, and was finally surrendered by Chen Shang and brought back to China. Emperor Hanyuan ordered people to put them at the foot of the cliff in the south of Fanhe County, and put them in the county king Li's place. Until 592 AD, in view of the integration of Bali people with Han people, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty issued a letter to merge Bali County into Fanhe County. At this point, Bali County lasted for 6 12 years, and the Balinese people in China quietly disappeared in the vicissitudes of history.

At this time, in 53 BC, the army of the Roman Empire invaded Iran and was frightened by the Iranian army. More than 6,000 Roman troops broke through and fled to Kazakhstan today. Later, he was surrendered by Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty and brought back to China to settle in Yongchang County. This complete historical chain has been placed in front of people. So is the truth of history as the historians pieced together? With the gradual excavation of more detailed historical materials, I believe there will be an updated conclusion about this mystery.
