Zhou Jia took out a map of China from the side, pointed to the location of XZ and said:
"This vast area is the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Over thousands of years, Tibetan tribes formed numerous tribal alliances. In the Xinjiang region, there were the so-called 'Forty Small States,' which later merged into the 'Twelve Small States.'
During the Tang Dynasty, XZ finally had a regime that unified the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau - the Tubo Dynasty, and the monarch of the Tubo Dynasty was called Zamp.
Princess Wencheng's husband was the 33rd Zamp of the Tubo Dynasty, but in fact, he can be considered the founding monarch of Tubo. He quelled the civil strife in Tubo and unified XZ. Later, he married Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. Together, the two made outstanding contributions to the exchanges between Han and Tibetans.
But unfortunately, in 877, the rebels massacred the royal family and nobles, and the Tubo Dynasty completely collapsed."
Tibet
Songtsen Gampo felt complicated when he heard about the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty. Although he was mentally prepared, he felt that it came too quickly.
"What's even more terrible is that after the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, for more than three hundred years until 1239, nearly four hundred years, no unified regime emerged on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it remained in an era of division and separatism.
It was not until 1271 that Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, and U-Tsang, that is, the central and western parts of Tibet and other areas became part of the Yuan Dynasty. In other words, Tibet was officially brought under the control and management of our central government during the Yuan Dynasty.
During the Qing Dynasty, XZ was called Tangut Tubot or something like that. It was only during the reign of Emperor Kangxi that it was called XZ. So everyone should remember one thing: XZ has been an inseparable part of us since ancient times. Don’t mess around with those messy things.
Oh, yes, let me digress and tell you something."
Zhou Jia sighed and threw out two photos, showing very familiar hairstyles and clothes.
It’s from the Qing Dynasty again.
The Qing emperors felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they saw this.
What on earth did the last emperors of the Qing Dynasty do? How come everything can be linked to the Qing Dynasty?
"Last time I showed you Tan Jinyong. This time I'm going to talk about two people. One is Li Hongzhang and the other is Zuo Zongtang. Both of them were ministers of the Qing Dynasty. They lived in the late Qing Dynasty, when many countries in the world were invading other countries.
China is vast and has a lot of resources, so many countries have coveted its territory. At that time, Russia and Britain both wanted to take over Xinjiang, and Russia even sent troops to invade and occupy Ili, Xinjiang. If this continued, Xinjiang would not be far from falling. As you can see, Xinjiang occupies a large area. If Xinjiang was lost, the northwest and other places would have no protection. I don't need to explain its importance. "
