We know that the Qin Dynasty is the first great unified country in our Chinese history, qin shi huang is worthy of being an emperor throughout the ages, and its historical merits are absolutely unprecedented, although the great Qin dynasty was only destroyed in more than ten years, but it has left many historical mysteries for our descendants.
For example, what puzzles us scholars the most is why the Qin army that swept through the Six Kingdoms was actually defeated so badly later, and in the Qin Dynasty, facing the extreme of national annihilation, why did those millions of elite Qin troops not appear, and where did they go?
Later, in the late Qin II period, the world was in chaos again, and the Qin army that came out to meet the battle was only about 200,000 people, and all of them were from the Northern Army, in addition to the 200,000 troops temporarily formed by the general Zhang Handan, but we know that the result was that in the subsequent Battle of julu, the Qin army could be described as a complete defeat, and later it was slaughtered (pit killed) by Xiang Yu.
Where did so many Qin troops go, why didn't they come out to resist? If it comes out, I believe that Xiang Yu cannot win so easily, and even whether he can defeat the Qin army is a problem, after all, the Qin army is known as the "Tiger and Wolf Division", and its combat strength is terrifying to the Six Kingdoms.
This mystery has indeed plagued our descendants of scholars and experts for thousands of years, how many people have racked their brains for it, but it is still impossible to uncover its historical truth, what they did not expect was that more than 2000 years later, that is, in 1921, there was a shocking news in Jiaonan, Shandong.
The archaeological team found a Qin Dynasty carved stone in Langyatai, Jiaonan, Shandong, which is actually the later "Langya Carved Stone", which is very large, close to 5 meters high, and the upper and lower widths are 0.76 meters to 2 meters, and there are two parts engraved on it, one part is "Ode Poems" and the other part is "Edict", with a total of 447 characters.
Unexpectedly, these 447-character "Langya Carved Stone" has unveiled a mystery that has plagued historians for our descendants, and from the "Langya Carved Stone" we can roughly see that Qin Shi Huang began to parade around after the unification of the emperor, and also promulgated a variety of good policies, which can be summarized as hoping that the people of the Qin Dynasty would live and work in peace and contentment, and did not have to fight.
Moreover, the "Langya Carved Stone" also wrote that after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng began to reform the army, and then did not use peasant soldiers, but promulgated the "Seven Branches of Who", Qin Shi Huang hated these 7 kinds of people very much, such as merchants, the taste of the dead, the prison officials are not straight, and so on.
Qin Shi Huang believed that these people were all wasting the country's grain, and those peasant soldiers who had been sent home before them, the truth has been made clear, these "Seven Branches" are almost all people who have no combat effectiveness and no will, so how can such people win when they go to war later? Moreover, it is still a god of war like Xiang Yu who encounters it, and it is strange not to lose.
