History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
The victory of the Qin war to unify the six kingdoms was due to the correct strategy and tactics used by the Qin state in the war. During the reign of king Zheng of Qin, the national strength was very strong, and there were enough manpower and material resources to supply the war. From a strategic point of view, it is in an offensive position, like a broken mirror, destroying and destroying, destroying these countries one after another. Tactically, the State of Qin implemented a policy of being close and far, weakening first and then strengthening, first destroying the neighboring weak states of Korea and Zhao, and then breaking through from the center to attack the State of Yan and destroy the State of Wei, relieving the worries of the North. In the end, the strong enemy on both flanks was eliminated, and this tactical application was in line with the actual situation at that time. In specific strategic activities, the Qin state adopted the correct strategy. For example, in a war of destruction, it is very flexible to pursue established policies on a case-by-case basis, rather than in a completely mechanical manner. After reviewing Chu's battles, chu's strength and concentration of forces were based on it, causing it to fail. Attacking and the State of Qi is a virtual reality, but with astonishing success. On the contrary, the powers of these six countries are weak, and they cannot unite strategically, but fight each other. They were unable to stop the attack of the Qin state, passive defense in the war, passive beating, so that they were annihilated by the Qin state.
If this is a historical necessity, why is there no unification of Europe? The fact that the Qin State unified these six countries is certainly a historical coincidence! Since The Duke of Qin, no emperor has been a emperor, and only people with virtue and talent have been used as officials. Many famous ministers contacted distant countries, attacked nearby neighboring countries, and opened their territories to expand the surrounding territory. It was in this hundred years that the other six nations were not without strength, but they did not pass on better.
First of all, Qin has a complete legal system, which is the strong foundation of the Qin state, a strong and not broken foundation. The Wei martingale reform method prevailing in the Qin state deepened the reform of the rule of law, and after a long period of reform, the reform was deeply rooted in the Qin Dynasty. The greatest benefit of governing through the rule of law is that it can function as usual as an evil monarchy.
Secondly, the Qin people work harder than the various countries. Because Qin was not a vassal state blocked by Zhou Tianzi, but a step out of the horse breeding tribe. So their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of various countries. Tenacious folk song, good at fighting, can do all soldiers in battle.
Finally, the State of Qin had a unique vision of people's use, and his thoughts were also extensive. Whether it is the Baili Temple in the Qin Mugong period, the defending champion in the Qin Mugong period, or Zhang Yi in the Qin Huiwen Period, and Li Si in the Qin Shi Huang period, they are not Qin people, and they also have great responsibilities to them, fully trusting and trusting their subordinates. In summary, Qin is enough to rule the world.
But others thought it was an accident. In the early Warring States period, there were many countries like the Qin state. Everyone has a similar starting point. These differences are almost negligible. Some people say that due to the Shang martingale reform, Qin unified the six kingdoms, assuming that he did not work in Qin, but went to other countries, or the King of Qin did not support his reforms, what was the result?
No one said it was bad. Some people say that the past of Qin Wangzhi, in fact, the development of several generations of old people is not good. Some have inherited for a short time, some have been engaged in sports deaths, and some have lost the most important Guanzhong region. In short, the reasons you can count on supporting the unification of the Six Kingdoms of Qin are actually only part of this outcome. Without a certain part, history may be rewritten. It's like the famous butterfly effect. In his corollary, as long as there is one step, the final conclusion may be the opposite, and you cannot control the possibility of any one step.
The Qin did not have the disease of the nobles of the Eastern powers. They know they have to do great things, they have to reform themselves. Their power is here. As long as they are conducive to the development of the country, they will eventually continue to be implemented, whether it is Shang Martin or Zhang Yi. Their luck is good, and the kings they have met in the past will be even more brilliant in the performance of the previous generation. They met counselors who proposed reforms and could proceed smoothly with the efforts of all.
