"The King of Qin swept Liuhe, and the tiger looked at He Xiongya!" Swinging his sword to break the clouds, the princes came to the west. "
From many ancient poems, we can feel the power of Qin Shi Huang, as a pioneer in unifying writing, currency, and weights and measures, his appearance is a strong stroke in history.
In addition to these contributions, it is admirable that he has the courage and strategy to unify the six countries.
After Qin Shi Huang personally managed the government at the age of 22, he achieved the unification of the six kingdoms in just 17 years, and the weapons he forged and the combat strategies he adopted are still the puzzles that many historians can't solve today.
Take the Qin sword, after the dusty underground was repaired for two thousand years, the combat effectiveness was still not reduced that year, the test could easily break through multiple pieces of paper, and the most surprising thing was that there was no rust, which showed the strength of the Qin Dynasty's sword casting technology at that time.
In addition to weapons, in order to consolidate his position, Qin Shi Huang changed his name to emperor, in order to show his status to better manage the world, Qin Shi Huang abolished the feudal princely system and the aristocratic system, and established a unified management system, the purpose is obvious, he hopes that the world will only obey his orders.
However, due to the unstable foundation, after the fall of the Six Kingdoms, the Remaining Party was still fanning the flames, and Qin Shi Huang adopted the method of countering violence with violence, although the effect was very significant, but in the end it also fell into the title of a tyrant, which caused resentment among the people.
Then some people will ask, how did Qin Shi Huang deal with the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms? Maybe you didn't expect it.
Korea
The first to be unified by the Qin state was the weakest Korea, because of its geographical location is not dominant, most of the territory of Korea is surrounded by other countries, it does have the idea of attacking the Qin state, but it is afraid of being hanged by the Qin state.
When the State of Qin defeated the State of Zhao, the State of Qin began to attack Korea, and because the disparity in strength was too large, it did not do too much pointless resistance and surrendered.
Perhaps it is this point that allows the Korean monarch to enjoy the treatment in the Qin kingdom very well, and in history, Han Wangxin was the grandson of The Han Xiang King Ji Cangshu, and from this it can be seen that Qin Shi Huang did not exterminate Korea.
From another point of view, as the first country to surrender, South Korea wanted to establish a good image of giving preferential treatment to the king of the subjugated country.
However, after a short period of rebellion, Qin Shi Huang was still allowed to kill the killer and dispose of Han Wang'an.
Zhao Guo
The second to be conquered by the State of Qin was the State of Zhao, and for Qin Shi Huang, the State of Zhao and him were feuded, and after the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao was seriously injured.
At that time, the State of Qin took advantage of the opportunity of the earthquake and famine in the State of Zhao to send troops to attack Zhao, and the two sides were deadlocked for more than a year, the State of Qin resorted to a "divisive plan", the King of Zhao credulously believed the rumors to assassinate Li Mu and Sima Shang, and the Qin army smoothly entered the State of Zhao and attacked the city strategically.
However, the Zhao royal family is still a large clan of the Qin state, and the famous Zhao Gao and Zhao Tuo are all Zhao people, although it is a feud, qin shi huang still trusts them and does not exterminate the zhao state king.
Wei
Although the State of Wei was not afraid of the State of Qin, after all, the difference in military strength and economic strength was quite large, and the strength was completely crushed by the State of Qin.
When the Qin army attacked the city of Wei, it had to praise the King of Wei, even though the Qin army was in the world, but it was better to die than surrender, and personally led the troops to fight a battle.
The fighting strength of the Qin army was not bragged, and soon attracted the water of the Yellow River, submerging the girder, and in desperation, the King of Wei could only surrender his weapons and surrender, and how Qin Shi Huang disposed of the King of Wei's "History" is not recorded, but from the analysis of the situation at that time, it is also difficult to escape death.
Chu
At that time, the strongest of the six countries and the largest territorial area was undoubtedly the State of Chu.
At that time, the State of Chu had the western and southeastern parts of present-day Henan, the southern part of Shandong, the two provinces of Hubei and Hunan, the east of Dongting Lake and all of Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which showed its strength.
When Qin Shi Huang was preparing to attack the Chu state, Wang Qi said that 600,000 troops were needed, and at first Qin Shi Huang felt that Wang Qi was old and not young and heroic, but later proved that no 600,000 elite soldiers could not attack the Chu state.
The result was obvious, Li Xin, who had sworn to lead an army of 200,000 people, was defeated, and later Qin Shi Huang sent Wang Qi to lead 600,000 elite troops to the Chu state and capture the Chu king.
After king Of Chu was captured by the State of Qin, there is no record of him in the history books, but according to other historical analysis, after the King of Chu was captured, the Chu general Xiang Yan supported Li Changping Jun Xiong Qi as the new King of Chu and continued to fight against the State of Qin.
Unfortunately, it was still unable to withstand the attack of the Qin army's iron horse, Xiong Qi's army was defeated and killed, and the Chu state never turned over again.
Yan Guo
Although Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms to complete the national unification, each country has descendants who will emerge from time to time to prepare for the restoration of the country, but the Yan Kingdom was completely destroyed by Qin Shi Huang.
When the State of Zhao was included in the pocket of the State of Qin, the Prince of the State of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin in order to resist this domineering and independent ruling system, and the final outcome is also very clear to us, Jing Ke failed and the King of Qin was furious, and immediately sent troops to attack the State of Yan.
When the Qin army captured the capital of the Yan state, Jiji, Wang Xi of Yan and Crown Prince Dan fled all the way to the Liaodong region.
In order to seek peace and keep the Yan kingdom from being destroyed, King Xi of Yan dedicated the head of Prince Dan to the King of Qin, and at first the King of Qin agreed to this request.
But the good times did not last long, and six years later, the King of Qin still sent troops to attack the State of Yan, and the King of Yan was captured alive by the Qin army, and since then the lineage of the State of Yan has disappeared from Chinese history, and the King of Yan has never heard of it since.
Qi Guo
At that time, when the Qin state and other countries were fighting fiercely, the State of Qi looked like a melon-eating masses, adhering to the principle of sweeping the snow in front of the door by itself, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others.
In the face of letters of help from other countries, he adopted an attitude of ignoring them, in order to make his position clear to the Qin state and try to climb the high branch of the Qin state.
In this situation, the State of Qin was naturally "willing" to make good friends with the State of Qi, after all, the focus at this time was to recover other countries, and since the State of Qi took the initiative to show goodwill, it simply accepted this kindness and cleaned him up later.
When the other five kingdoms withdrew from the stage of history, the Qin state went south to attack the state of Qi, and Wang Jian of Qi heeded the advice of the minister of state Hou Sheng and surrendered without a fight, but Qin Shi Huang did not treat him like a "good friend".
Qin Shi Huang put Qi Wangjian under house arrest and did not provide him with any food, and in the end Qi Wangjian was starved to death, it can be said that Qi Wangjian's ending was the most tragic of the kings of the Six Kingdoms.
epilogue
Although Qin Shi Huang's attitude toward the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms was not exterminated, it can also be said that he "cut the grass and remove the roots".
Later, Qin Shi Huang was famous for his violent rule, and most of the people who wanted to revolt and restore the country also dispelled this idea and spent the rest of their lives in hiding.
Although the evaluation of the figure of Qin Shi Huang is seriously polarized, his contribution to history cannot be erased, and the name of the First Emperor throughout the ages is not exaggerated at all.
