In 250 BC, a prince in his fifties ascended to the throne of the history of the Qin State, and this king, who reigned for only three days, wrote a glorious page of the history of the Qin State, which was the Qin Xiaowen Wang Yingzhu.
So in just three days, the Great Qin Empire was pushed to an unprecedented glory, and what secret history is hidden behind this old emperor who has ascended the throne?
First, one stop to fix the storm, the old man to save the succession of the unification
In 259 BC, a large army of nearly 100,000 people set off from Handan in a mighty way, with well-prepared arrows and crossbows, strong horses, and full of confidence, and the destination they wanted to attack was Xianyang, the capital of the Qin state, which was then known as the country of tigers and wolves. Xianyang and Handan became two important military export cities in the Warring States at that time.
However, when this four-nation alliance of Wei, Han, Chu, and Zhao poured into Xianyang City, in the face of a powerful offensive by the coalition forces, King Zhaoxiang of Qin personally led a large army to meet the coalition forces, and the perfect siege of Fencheng completely defeated the last of the Warring States, and from then on, the Qin state had the military strength of the six kingdoms.
As early as 260 AD, the qin and Zhao armies fought a great battle in Changping, the Zhao army was defeated, and quickly received the sympathy of the six kingdoms, and sent reinforcements to support Handan, at this time, King Xiaowen of Qin had been made crown prince by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and his grandson Yingzheng was also born in Handan.
In fact, there is also an older brother above the pillar, called Yin Mourning. The personalities of Eun Seol and Eun Seol are completely different. Yin Mourning's character of being resolute, resolute, heroic, and courageous and decisive could indeed compete for the position of prince, but his father, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, thought that if the Qin kingdom wanted to have long-term peace and stability, there must be a stable and righteous monarch, and he thought of his second son, Yingzhu.
He has an indecisive personality, but is steady, quick-witted, and often proposes extraordinary ways to govern the country. However, at that time, the Warring States Zhou Li was also a condition for The establishment of the throne in China for thousands of years, that is, to establish the eldest son, so, no matter what, Ying mourned and was elected. After a few years, Yin Mourn died of illness, and the position of prince fell to Yin Zhu, and he was given a new title of An Guojun, and from then on, Yin Zhu fantasized that he could one day become the king of the Qin Kingdom. However, when he was fifty years old, sitting on the throne of the King of Qin, his father was still in charge of the state affairs of the Qin State, and the old prince buried a deep suspense in his heart, dreaming of one day sitting on the throne of the Qin State.
Second, to take back the king of the future generations, the stranger stands out
Yin Zhu was born with sexual desire, so there were nearly 50 of his concubines, and Lady Xia was not loved by him, so he belittled his son Yin Yi as a hostage in the Zhao Kingdom. When Huayang established yiren as a son, Yiren was the future ruler of the Qin state, and the ascension to the throne that Yinzhu was increasingly looking forward to seemed to be coming.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was the longest reigning emperor of the State of Qin, and during his reign, he used Bai Qi, broke Han Wei, defeated the State of Chu, fought the State of Qi, locked the State of Zhao, and the Battle of Changping annihilated the elite and living forces of the hegemonic State of Zhao of the Six Eastern Kingdoms in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the future Qin army to drive straight in. 56 years, the 53 years that every old Qin person was most proud of, finally died in one day.
In 251 BC, qin zhaoxiang wang yinji closed his last eyes, this emperor, known as the king of tigers and wolves by the six eastern kingdoms, was terrified of him. For the ancestral precepts, every prince heir should observe filial piety for three days after the death of the previous king and not be crowned and ascended the throne. Just after Shou Xiaoman, Yingzhu ascended the throne as King Xiaowen of Qin.
When King Zhaoxiang of Qin was alive, he once implemented a severe punishment system in his old age and imprisoned a large number of sinners, which made the Palace of the Qin State do things in a disciplined manner, and it was too rigid, for fear that a wrong sentence would make the golden rice bowl shattered, and many loyal ministers had many decisions, for fear of being caught by the villains and swallowing back the words that came to their mouths, but on the other hand, the authority of the monarch was increased, and the efficiency of the army's work increased.
Every time the Qin army went out on a campaign, there was no need to worry about being delayed because of the court decision of the monarch, because if any courtier refuted the monarch and caused the defeat of the Qin army, the courtier would be punished by the Qin army the most severe punishment, so that every decision of the King of Qin was finalized, and then the Qin army could win every expedition. When the Battle of Changping was in full swing, King Xiaocheng of Zhao hesitated in the face of the question of whether to attack or defend the Qin army, the constant advice of his courtiers, and the hesitation of the monarch continued, so that the base camp of the Zhao army on the Changping front could not get the most specific plan, or the plan was changed several times a day, usually exhausting the Zhao army.
The Zhao army usually does not take the grain with them after the army advances, and the general of the Zhao army is very confused, saying, tomorrow will attack, why don't you bring grain? The soldier said, General, I know that before the afternoon, we will be back again, and the reason why we came back was not because we were defeated by the Qin army, but because the decision of handan was changed from offensive to defensive. However, in the afternoon, Zhao Ling pegasus came to report, and King Zhao asked them to retreat to the original defensive area and take a defensive position. The result of this was that the edict was changed three times a day, and the Zhao army was tired of running.
When the Battle of Changping was faced with the question of whether to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, Handan began a new round of fighting and missed the best opportunity, unbeknownst to them, at this time, the Qin army had touched the back of the Zhao army's ass, and hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops had become the turtles in the Qin army's urn. After King Xiaowen of Qin ascended the throne, he believed that King Zhaoxiang of Qin had already made the Qin army have the strength to crush the six eastern kingdoms, and it was only a matter of time before the Qin state unified the world, and what the Qin state had to do was not to go to war, but to handle internal affairs well and accumulate strength. Many of the sinners of the previous kings were excessive, and their essence was still loyal to the Qin state, and many of them were also old Qin people who accompanied the former king to fight in the country, so he pardoned the world and treated the heroes well.
Third, governing the country is just in line with national policies and laying the foundation for reunification
When the former king was alive, the most common sentence he often said to Yingzhu was that the six eastern countries hated the Qin state and feared the Qin state, and the only thing that could enable the old Qin people to live their lives peacefully was to eliminate the six kingdoms, and thus to make the people of the world peaceful, so it was imperative for the unification of Qin. At that time, the Six Kingdoms still had the ability to jointly cut down Qin, so the former king only put these words in YinZhu's ear and said them. However, when Yingzhu came to power, the national strength of the Qin state was the strongest superpower in the world's East Asia at that time, and he could issue the national policy and decree of the Qin state to the world, Qin did not want to be scrupulous, Qin wanted to unify the war chaos of the Warring States at the end of the weekend. As soon as this news came out, the six countries were shocked, and they all guarded their own territory, even if one day the Qin army would suppress the territory.
In 251 AD, King Xiaowen of Qin died for three days. His son Yiren took the throne, and his grandson Yingzheng was made crown prince. Remembering the national policy of his ancestors, Yingzheng completed the great cause of reunification, making China the country with the largest territorial area and the strongest military strength in Asia at that time.
epilogue:
Although King Xiaowen of Qin lived for only three days, his contributions were buried by a lot of history. First of all, he inherited the national policy of King Zhao, so that it could be passed down. Second, treat the heroes of the previous kings well, so that they will continue to be loyal to the Qin state.
Third, amnesty for sinners, in the later period, his son Yi yiren continued to complete the zhao order of King Xiaowen of Qin, until the death of Yingzheng, this zhao order made a large number of people of insight in the six kingdoms willing to serve the qin state, amnesty the world, the world was returned, and King Xiaowen of Qin also contributed to the unification of the qin state
