Zhang Liang, zifang, Korean, together with Han Xin and Xiao He, is known as the "Three Masters of the First Han Dynasty". Zhang Liang's father and grandfather Korea V are the same, it can be said that Zhang Liang is a true nobleman, if Korea did not perish, Zhang Liang was the prime minister without accident, you can imagine how deep Zhang Liang's resentment against the Qin state is.
In order to hold the revenge of destroying the country, Zhang Liang carefully planned a "hedgehog Qin", but this assassination was not successful. So is Zhang Liang's plan reliable to implement, let's analyze it first.
Preparation for the assassination of Qin
According to the "Book of Han and the Biography of Zhang Liang", Zhang Liangdi died and was buried, scattered his family wealth, found a Hercules in the east, and made a one hundred and twenty pounds of sledgehammers.
In fact, it can be seen from here that Zhang Liang has been planning for a long time. His ability to find helpers in the property where his brother was buried was enough to see his inner resolve.
The fall of Korea was in 230 BC, Zhang Liang's brother died of illness after the fall of Korea, it can be seen that the matter of hedgehog has long been formed in Zhang Conscience, so there is a matter of "brother dies and is not buried".
The Bolangsha Thorn Qin occurred in 218 BC, that is to say, Zhang Liang prepared for the Thorn Qin for at least ten years, which shows Zhang Liang's determination.
After ten years of preparation, the preparation was natural and thorough, and when the First Emperor traveled east to reach the Bolangsha area, Zhang Liang and Lux hid in the grass beside them. Historically, the First Emperor went through Jing Ke and Gao Gradually left the assassination, and naturally he was extremely careful, so this trip to Qin Shi Huang used a number of carriages to confuse the public.
In ancient times, there was a saying of "six carriages of the Son of Heaven", that is to say, the emperor's carriage was made of six horses, while the carriage of the courtier was "four horses". In order to prevent someone from assassinating, Qin Shi Huang specially prepared a number of auxiliary cars that were all six horses, which Zhang Liang did not expect, and in a hurry they could only choose a carriage that looked very similar, the result was of course wrong, the Qin Shi Huang stand-in in the carriage was killed on the spot, and Zhang Liang fled in the wilderness.
In fact, from here, it can be seen that Zhang Liang's plan is feasible and thorough.
First, the weapons to be chosen.
The First Emperor has experienced two major assassinations, the eastern tour must be protected layer by layer, not to mention the Qin Shi Huang carriage around the master forest, even if it is the street, it must be heavily secure, if you want to take a conventional weapon to stab will be seen, and what weapon can not only not be detected by the people around it, but also can ensure that people will be killed, Zhang Liang chose the big hammer.
According to the qin dynasty's weight unit, one pound is about equal to our current 252.8 grams, that is, sixty pounds, and it is not a problem for a Hercules to take a sixty pound of weight, and this big iron hammer is like a tool for working among many ordinary people, which greatly reduces the vigilance of soldiers.
And if you change into a tool such as a dagger knife in front of qin shi huang, who is as skilled as lin, you may not be killed before you can enter the siege. If you use the hammer, you don't have to get close to yourself, just throw the hammer out and hit him by surprise, this success rate is much more feasible than using a sword, plus the blood and flesh blurred by the smashed stand-in of Qin Shi Huang later knew that this plan was feasible.
Second, choose the location of the assassination. Bolangsha's geographical location is superior, and the road surface is undulating, which shows that Qin Shi Huang will definitely reduce the speed when he passes, which creates a very good condition for assassination and reduces the difficulty of assassination.
Coupled with the rough terrain, it will disperse the formation of the guards around Qin Shi Huang, and once the guards are scattered, the assassination will be taken advantage of. The terrain on the north side of Bolangsha is the Yellow River, the south is the Guandu River, the reeds are overgrown, it is easy to escape, and the ground is very low, easy to hide, if you want to escape, it is difficult for officers and soldiers to catch.
Worst preparations after assassination
After Zhang Liang and Hercules mistakenly hit the deputy car, there is no historical record of whether Hercules was caught, but Zhang Liang took advantage of the chaos to escape. It can be seen here that Zhang Liang has long been fully prepared, after all, this assassination is a huge bet, and the chances of success are slim. The location of Zhang Liang and Lux's ambush was next to the "Six Horses and Driving Road", the road of six horses and driving should be very wide, and Zhang Liang and Lux hid in the nearby bushes.
After the assassination failed, Lux was captured and Zhang Liang escaped, it can be speculated that the two of them should not be in the same place, or even very far away, it is also possible that Zhang Liang is in front of Hou Lux, but these are unknown, but Zhang Liang and Lux are not together or it can be seen that Zhang Liang is very careful and intelligent, even shrewd. After the failure of Lux, Zhang Liang fled to Xia Pi to hide his name, indicating that he had already made complete preparations for the assassination failure and formulated an escape route.
Qin Shi Huang was furious after experiencing the assassination again, killing the people in bolangsha (the people here refer to the nobles), indicating that Qin Shi Huang did not know the mastermind behind the assassination, and the nobles around Bolangsha were the nobles of the State of Wei and the nobles of the State of Zhao, indicating that Qin Shi Huang did not know which country the masterminds were from behind the scenes, which also showed that Zhang Liang hid his identity quite well.
Why did Bolangsha stab Qin?
All in all, Zhang Liang's Bolangsha Hedgehog Qin Plan was not only feasible, but also very meticulous, and every step from the beginning of the plan to the failure of Hedgehog was perfect. But why didn't Zhang Liang succeed in stabbing Qin? I think there should be two reasons:
1. From the perspective of Qin Shi Huang:
As mentioned above, Qin Shi Huang has experienced two assassinations before, and he has already taken precautions against others in his heart, and he is no longer willing or afraid to be close to anyone, this eastward tour must be dangerous for Qin Shi Huang, and it can be seen from the fact that Qin Shi Huang prepared multiple auxiliary cars that he was afraid of being assassinated again.
Let's boldly guess that Zhang Liang, as a Korean nobleman, has thought of revenge, but don't other countries want revenge? Historical records record that there are Jing Ke thorn Qin, Gao Gradually away from thorn Qin, Zhang Liang thorn Qin, in addition to these three times how many times we do not know the thorn Qin?
Therefore, for Qin Shi Huang, this careful prevention was also an important and direct cause of the failure of Bolangsha to stab Qin.
2. From Zhang Liang's point of view:
Zhang Liang's plan is certainly nothing wrong, but everything has two sides. In addition to Qin Shi Huang's airtight defense,
The information that Zhang Liang received before making the plan was problematic, which was another important reason for the failure of the Assassin Qin.
If he could have known that Qin Shi Huang was so defensive before Zhang Liang's plan was implemented, then this result might have changed. But there was no if in the world, and the news that Zhang Liang got before he stabbed Qin was incomplete, which doomed him to be 100% successful no matter how strict his plan was.
Liu Bang once praised Zhang Liang for "strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the sub-room." "Bolangsha stabbed Qin, if it were not for Zhang Liang's perseverance, determination and perseverance for many years, it could not be implemented." However, because the plan was deviated a little, it directly led to the failure of the entire assassination. Therefore, if this assassination had not been taken precautions by Qin Shi Huang, who was one foot tall and Zhang Liang had mistakenly chosen the wrong carriage, history might have been rewritten.
