The historical political geography is more than one interdisciplinary subjects, not only impected of the methodology of the humanities but also because of its own reason for can not easily to be model, so in the social sciences it has been gradually marginalized.But it is a very deeply science with the help of that you will find when you read the politics and read history. As I emphasized, the historical of political geography is the Science not only not science, is the art is not only art, it requires not only scientific and rational thinking, but also the need for insight and experience the art of power. The text of historical political geography in essencely is a product of build, with the goal to explore in knowledges, but also need to create the concept.Based on finishing the history of early Western Han Dynasty, author find if want to read the Western Han Dynasty in the early years of political and military situation will have on the geography at that time to conduct in-depth background investigation, will have to introduce the perspective of the history and methods of political geography. In the process of reading the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, The use of the historical perspective of political geography in the political situation and military situation,author finds , becacuse of the milistary exploit,the milistary exploit classes capture a wide range of political, economic and social rights, such rights and interests and even imperial power itself by making its limit, and even at one time also led to a crisis situation, the rule of the early Han Dynasty. In order to protect the vested interests of hand, but also in order to achieve effective control of the whole empire, as well as the desire for absolute power to become the ruler of the Han dynasty in the political field need to achieve the strategic objectives. In order to achieve such a strategic goal, the supreme ruler of the Western Han Dynasty have chosen a very different political path from the past, the political path to the ultimate success of the key points in the space strategy with their own political success.This is a military deterrent force built on the basis of the strategy of empire. The first step in the strategy, the early Han rulers chose somebody who has become a fait accompli in the territory , enfeoffed them , and in exchange for the closure of this Packet's support, became the Emperor to create a new dynasty. The second step of the strategy is to choose the original Qin old haunt as its base, and will be set at the capital Chang'an, capital of Changan, not only obviates the capital of Luoyang in the ideological burden on the back, also made in the geopolitical accounted for the geographic military advantage.The third step of the strategy is to take the initiative, the king has different names have to kill one by one, the king of different names to the physical from the spiritual to the most brutal violence, and the rest in order to achieve the deterrent potential challenger purpose; The fourth step of the strategy, as a vassal king enfeoffment name, this is a last resort, but make full use of the packet with the benefits of Wang, as well as to further expand the powers of central government won the time; The fifth step, the central and local building a conventional army, which especially for the conventional forces of central goverment, to establish a forces in the empire territory has the absolute advantage of the mobility of the armed forces , and at the same time as military construction and launched, the "inaction" of the government strategy, through the "inaction" ,Empire of the North makes in the military and political integration of a more tacit understanding, and for further encroachment into the southeast and has laid a solid foundation.Finally, an opportunity for the accident of history, through a large-scale war which happened in the core area of the Empire carried out ,the Kingdom problem was completely solved , since in the vast East Asian monsoon area, the central imperial government as the only super-political forces, not only reached the goal of effective control of the country, but also has reached an absolute imperial power of self-realization of strategic objectives.
