What was the battle to destroy India in the Tang Dynasty? How did the Tang Dynasty destroy ancient India with one single soldier?

When it comes to our Tang Dynasty, people first think of prosperous times and Wang Guochao. But today I want to tell you an interesting thing, that is, there was actually a war between Datang and ancient India in the Tang Dynasty. The content of the battle is that the Tang Dynasty directly destroyed ancient India, with one soldier and one pawn. What happened? Let's look at these problems and analyze them together.

The earliest war between China and India took place during the reign of Emperor Taizong over 1300 years ago. At that time, a small envoy sent by China to India, without a single soldier in the Tang Dynasty, defeated the Indian army, destroyed the ancient country of China and India, moved the king of East India, and created a fabulous miracle. We have to start with Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures.

Master Xuanzang went through all kinds of hardships to reach Tianzhu, meet celebrities, seek dharma and give lectures, and traveled all over the Indian subcontinent, including visiting Mogata. Jato was a powerful country in India at that time. At that time, India was divided into five parts: east, west, north, south and north, namely, "five Tianzhu" and "a thousand miles away, a hundred cities" in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty. Wang Banglin was founded in China, including sixteen big states. Mogato is one of the sixteen states, located on the south bank of the middle reaches of Ganges River. Mogato has always been regarded as a Buddhist holy land by Indians, because it is said that the Buddha spent most of his life in Mogato. Therefore, Journey to the West must go to Mojeto. In Medog, Xuanzang was treated by Luo Yiduo, the king's corpse. Xuanzang opened the altar to give lectures, with a big debate 18 days, and was famous as Zhen V.

Xuanyuan contributed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India. Master Xuanzang not only gave lectures and learned the law, but also told the Japanese king that "Emperor Taizong of SHEN WOO was rude, in order to avoid trouble and make the four foreigners a guest". He briefly introduced the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty in China and the wise SHEN WOO of Emperor Taizong, and the new Japanese king Jin Ping Mei ol admired him. He couldn't help longing for the Tang Dynasty in China and said, "I want to face it in the East." Shortly after Xuanzang returned to China, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, that is, 64 1 year, the king of the Forbidden City presented his credentials to the Tang Dynasty, saying that he would be friendly from generation to generation. Emperor Taizong "sent a letter of condolence" and the king of the Anti-Japanese War "paid homage by imperial edict", which was regarded as submission to China. Later, Emperor Taizong sent envoys to visit India many times, which was "very humble". China and India formally established diplomatic relations.

In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, in 648 AD, Emperor Taizong "sent Wang Xuance to make his country" and sent people to India. As a result, this visit had a little accident. It was this accident that triggered the first military confrontation between China and India. Wang Xuance, colonel, it's no use. Borrow the Southern Division alone to destroy Mazhuang and Mojie Tuoguo. "Shocked Tianzhu" for a time, which greatly enhanced China's national prestige.

Wang Xuance, Han nationality, was born in Luoyang, Henan Province in the Tang Dynasty. He made three missions to India from 643 to 66 1 year. What happened was his second trip to India. At that time, Mojeto had changed. It turned out that when the king of the Forbidden City died, his minister Arona took the opportunity to arise, stand on her own two feet and seize power. But communication was underdeveloped at that time, and the Tang Dynasty didn't know it. Now, it has caused a worldwide sensation, and both women and children know it. When Ronashun heard that Tang Ambassador was coming, he didn't buy it. He sent troops to intercept and refused Tang Ambassador entry. He not only robbed Tang Shi's gift, but also arrested Wang Xuance and his party of 30 people and put them in prison. The sixth note of the major scale.

Tubo is a powerful country rising in the southwest of China. After Princess Wencheng entered Tibet and married Songzan Gambu, Songzan Gambu accepted the official position and title of the Tang Dynasty. "Tubo and Datang are one family", which has a very close relationship and more frequent non-governmental exchanges. "Jin Jian embroidery, asked about their heritage, the road is across the river, they are very happy. Wang Xuance soldiers were invited to rescue, and Tubo naturally gave strong support, so Songzan Gambu "sent 1200 elite, rode 7000 people with Nepal, and obeyed Xuance". He not only sent elite cavalry, but also dispatched 7,000 cavalry from Nepal, all of whom were dispatched by Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance troops south, sweeping. Indian soldiers were wiped out, more than 3,000 people were beheaded and tens of thousands drowned. The puppet troops abandoned the city and fled, but were captured alive by the deputy Chiang Kai-shek. Wang Xuance has lost its prestige, overlooking cities far and near, covering more than 580 cities. Ronashun's royal family was all captured, and Wang Xuance was "shocked" by "taking his princess and prince, capturing 22,000 men and women and 30,000 miscellaneous animals". The body of the king of East India was frightened when he saw the battle. He hurriedly "sent 30 thousand horses and cattle to feed the army" and presented rare treasures, thus surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.

This is the only hand-to-hand combat between China and India in ancient history. As an ancient China and Indian, Mohato is so fragile. In Lu's view, there are four reasons: First, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the country was rich and strong, Wang Xuance was full of self-confidence, and he was insulted and angry, and people were particularly brave in anger; Second, Tubo has just risen, its soldiers are strong and good at fighting, and it is closely related to the Tang Dynasty, so give it full help; Third, India has always advocated Buddhism, with poor military skills and weak force; Fourth, the civil strife and political instability in Mojeto. It's not hard to get this from the fact that the sister of the Anti-Japanese War King helped Wang Xuance escape from prison.

Later, Wang Xuance went to India for the third time, went to Pulika, visited Mahabudaji, and returned after worshipping Buddha. Brought back many precious Buddhist cultural relics, including the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, which made great contributions to the cultural exchange between China and India.
