Win Si really mastered the Qin state, why not call wang Tuba?

For the first time, I felt dazed

Qin Guo was finally in the hands of Yingsi himself, but what was the next step? Thinking of moving forward, Win Si always felt a little unsteady in his heart. If he wants to become a great monarch like Qin Xiaogong, he must turn the Qin state into the world's first power and the only hegemon in his own hands. Otherwise, he will be lost in the shadow of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Jun, and the annals of history will turn him into a obedient monarch who "kills people and has no way to govern the country".

But how do you move forward? When the crisis was eliminated, the situation was stable, and it was necessary to grasp the direction of the Qin State in a larger world, Win Si felt for the first time the lack of his own intelligence, and for the first time he felt dazed.

Ambition says long-term strategy

Win Donkey encounters a delicate situation that makes it difficult for him to decide. Shangqing Gongsun Yan and Su Qin solemnly wrote a letter and put forward a specific strategy for completing the hegemony of the Qin state -- immediately claiming the throne, capturing Sanchuan within one year, swallowing the Three Jins within three years, unifying the Central Plains within five years, and pacifying the four seas within ten years. As far as winning the original heart is concerned, he is very appreciative of the grandeur of sweeping the six kingdoms of Shandong, and if so, he is also a generation of heroes who have achieved great things throughout the ages. When he thought of the glory he had dreamed of, he had an instinctive impulse. However, when I thought about it carefully, I always felt that there was something empty.

After all, At the time of the tribulations, Yingsi had a long-term investigation and reflection on the situation of the Qin State, and decided that although the Qin State had grown in strength after the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, it was still far from the strength that should have been possessed to sweep away the Six Kingdoms. Based on this judgment, he really did not have the idea of immediately rising up to fight a decisive battle with the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.

Abandon the grand plan of "hegemony."

However, at this time, a generation of Ming Jun Yingsi calmly analyzed the military strength and national strength of the Qin State, and negated the grand plan of "claiming the king and trying to dominate and unify the world", for the following reasons:

First, the expansion of the army lies in the population. In terms of total, the population of the Qin State is currently comparable to that of the State of Qi, about eight million, and the young and strong men are about seven or eight hundred thousand. According to the method of drawing one out of three, more than 200,000 troops can be formed. However, the population distribution of the Qin state is very different from that of the Warring States of the Central Plains, there are three places where the population cannot be recruited, and after deducting three places where the army cannot be recruited, the old Qin people are only nearly four million, and the young and strong men are only about four hundred thousand. Roughly speaking, about 100,000 conscripts can be recruited, and with the existing 50,000 new troops, they can only make up 150,000 at most. To be out of Shandong, it is not satisfactory.

Second, the treasury of the Qin state government still needs to be enriched, and the Qin Xiaogong and the Shang Jun have changed the law for twenty-three years, and the state government has never imposed levies and endowments. The income increased by the government treasury is due to an increase in the source of taxation, not because the tax rate has been raised. Until now, the tax threshold of the Qin State has still followed the ancestor Ofe Jiangong. This is called "changing the law and not changing the endowed" in the Qin kingdom.

The secret of the new law of death protection

The scholars of the central plains countries and the world all take it for granted that the qin state's change of law was a "harsh government and abusive law" and a "wanton conquest and tyranny", otherwise how could they build a new capital, train a new army, recover Hexi, and become rich and strong. Who would have thought that the ShangJun Reform Law would really give wealth to the people, and the government would only rely on the expansion of tax sources to increase revenue. Such a simple national policy has a great mystery. Not only did it make the common people die to protect the new law, but also relied on this passion for law protection to dissolve all kinds of resistance to changing the law.

In the eyes of the world at that time, no matter what, it was impossible to understand how the Shang Jun could make the ignorant and barbaric old Qin people change their customs and naturalize civilization in just a few years. Now when people think about it, this mystery is so simple - the country gives benefit to the people, and the people are loyal to the country.

Secretly expand the country

Within three years, the Qin state did not have the ability to defeat the two warring states at the same time, and therefore did not have the ability to fully compete for supremacy in the east. However, it was also impossible to let the well-equipped 50,000 new army of the Qin state be idle for three years and consume a large amount of goods and grain. Therefore, we must plan a way out, win by surprise, and fight a battle that can be fought.

Surprise attack on the Fangling Tombs of the Chu State and attack On Bashu

First, Fangling bordered the Qin state, and it was convenient to use troops. To the north of Fangling was the Shangyu County of the Qin State, which was poor in mountains and rivers and did not garrison troops for many years.

Second, the Fangling garrison was weak, and it was a weak place in the Chu state. The State of Chu had only 20,000 or 30,000 heavy troops in Fangling, mainly used to assist in the transportation of grain, and its combat strength was not strong.

Third, time was favorable to the State of Qin, and the chu army had to rush to the aid of Fangling and march in the mountains, and it would take at least ten days to arrive. By then the broccoli was cold.

Fourth, the reinforcements of the Chu state do not have to be afraid, the chu state does not have the cavalry of the new army, the car soldiers and the water army cannot be used, only the infantry can come, and the infantry of the chu state is just the weakest, and the combat strength is not at the same level as the new army of the Qin state.
