Introduction: The Qin people were originally a tribe that raised horses for the King of Zhou, and was given the land of zhou by the princes for escorting the king of Zhou Ping to the east to luoyi. In fact, the King of Zhou Ping wrote empty checks, so the land of Zhou was already occupied by Inuyasha. The old Qin people fought bloody battles for the land of the founding of the country, and several generations of previous kings were killed on the battlefield. The old Qin people have worked hard to start a business, and gradually become the hegemon. From the Duke mu of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons to the Duke Xiao of Qin who changed the law of the Shang Dynasty, it was finally time to ask the First Emperor to destroy the Six Kingdoms and unify the world. In addition to the martial and indomitable spirit of the old Qin people, there is also an important reason why the Qin state can establish a unified dynasty is the emphasis on talents from beginning to end. In particular, as soon as the recruitment order of the Qin Xiaogong period came out, the elite talents of the Six Kingdoms who were not valued came pouring in. Although other countries such as Yan and Qi have also recruited talents, they have always been in an unsustainable state. The Qin Kingdom's thirst for talents ended from one end, and the elites of countless six eastern countries found a platform to shine here. As the saying goes, if a king treats me as a soldier of the kingdom, I will repay him. The Qin state has been consistent in its treatment of talents, which has formed a virtuous circle of talent flow. Based on this, coupled with the martial and fierce personality of the old Qin people, the Qin state eventually unified the world.
The Qin state's thirst for talents turned to its achievement of hegemony
The State of Qin is located in the western frontier, although there are eight hundred miles of QinChuan as the basis, but after all, it is not as rich as the Central Plains. Moreover, not only was the output relatively poor, but also in the early qin period, it was also regarded as a Rongdi barbarian by the Six Kingdoms. Therefore, if the Qin State wants to be strong, it is not possible to develop silently on its own, and attracting talents from the six countries for its own use is the road to overtaking and over-conventional development. Due to the Qin state's thirst for talents, many talents who were not reused in eastern countries came to the Qin state. Whether it is Qin Mu's hegemony or the Shang martingale transformation method during the Qin Xiaogong period, which laid the foundation for the hegemony of the Qin state, there are talents from the six countries who are helping each other at a critical moment.
In the process of achieving hegemony in the Qin State, the eastern countries have sent a large number of talents to the Qin State. Among them, after the Marquis of Wei Wu, the State of Wei became a base for cultivating talents for the State of Qin. Especially after the introduction of Qin Xiaogong's order to seek merit, talents who had been suppressed in the Six Kingdoms entered Qin. Since there are too many talents, we will highlight a few talents from the six countries who played an important role in the history of the Qin State.
The six kingdoms gathered in Qin, which directly gave birth to the hegemony of the Qin state
As the saying goes, learn the art of literature and martial arts, and the family of the emperor. Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was in the axis era of the peak of talents. Talents emerge and a hundred schools of thought contend. Compared with the emphasis on talents of a small number of people of insight of the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms (such as King Yan Zhao, etc.), most of the monarchs are relatively small and only believe in their own talents. Although there are so-called recruitment halls in various countries, most of them are a kind of decoration.
Therefore, many talents who have not been discovered or suppressed by various countries have come to the Qin Kingdom, which is thirsty for talents, to show their strengths. Bai Lixi, Shang Martin, Fan Sui, Zhang Yi, Li Si, Wei Ji, and so on, these shining names, if put into the future dynasty, must be able to be inducted into the Great Qin Hall of Fame and the like. You can enjoy the Taimiao Temple and enjoy the national incense offering. Qin Mu used the Baili Xi of five sheepskins to help Qin Mugong to dominate; Qin Xiaogong appointed the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, which was not reused in the Wei State, laying the foundation for the hegemony of the Qin State in one fell swoop; King Qin Hui appointed zhang Yi, a Wei stateman, to scatter the "combination of vertical" of the six kingdoms with "continuous horizontal" to turn the Qin state into safety; King Zhaoxiang of Qin worshiped the Wei state fan Sui as a minister and gradually encroached on various countries by using long-distance and close attacks; during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there were Chu people Li Si and Wu Wei people, and they were able to sweep across the world. An internal political talent and a military master who uses soldiers like gods have helped Qin Shi Huang to complete the grand cause of the six kings and the four seas.
The talents of the eastern countries who served Qin were the highest in the State of Wei.
The State of Wei was adjacent to the State of Qin, and was basically the king of prosperity. During the reign of Marquis Wen of Wei and Marquis Wu of Wei, it became the first state to dominate during the Warring States period. The basis for Wei Guo's hegemony was to attach importance to talents, and Li Wu, Zhai Huang, Le Yang, wu Qi, and so on were all famous talents. These are not all Wei talents, among which Wu Qi, the founder of wei wu pawns who shocked the world, is not a Wei people. Therefore, the State of Wei dominated the Central Plains and reached its peak in territory.
However, the State of Wei did not maintain this good habit, and as a result, the national strength gradually weakened after two generations of the State of Wei. The fundamental reason is that not only can we not absorb talents from other countries, but many of our own talents cannot be discovered and appointed. For example, Shang Martin, Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, Wei Ji, etc. were all Wei people or were not reused in the Wei State, and the Lost Shang Martingale failed to consolidate the foundation of the state again; the Lost Zhang Yi failed to unite the Six Kingdoms to destroy the Qin State in infancy; and the Lost Fan Sui failed to settle the state. These talents have all shined in the Qin Kingdom and achieved the hegemony of the Qin State. The State of Wei purely served as a training base for the talents of the Qin State, which was sad and lamentable. So in a sense, the State of Wei was the country with the greatest losses.
An introduction to the major contributions made by the talents of the Eastern countries
BaiLi Xi:
Because in the hundreds of years of history of the Qin Kingdom, the talents of the Eastern countries and the Qin Dynasty have gathered together. So let's pick a few to highlight. The first is the Qin State Minister Baili Xi, who is known as the Five Sheep Doctor, why is he called the Five Sheep Doctor? Because he was bought by Qin Mu for five sheepskins at the price of slaves. Baili Xi was the Grand Master of The State of Yu, and after the Duke of Jin destroyed the State of Yu, he captured Bai Li Xi. However, he did not know Bai Lixi's talent, so he sent him to the Qin State as a dowry slave when Qin and Jin were married. However, Baili Xi escaped to the Chu State, and the chicken thief Qin Mugong, in order not to let the Chu State know that Bai Li Xi was a great talent, only agreed to pay the price of five sheepskin slaves for Bai Li Xi. Bai Lixian was welcomed back to the Qin State as a chancellor, which is the origin of the Five Sheep Doctor.
Bai Lixi was a well-known internal affairs talent, and he assisted Qin Mugong in indoctrination, repairing state affairs, and trying to dominate the industry. Make Qin Mu openly thousands of miles away and dominate Xi Rong. While stabilizing the rear area of the Qin State, it also allowed Qin Mugong to complete his desire to dominate the world for many years. Qin Mugong successfully became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Shang:
When it comes to qiangqin dominating the world, we have to mention shang martingale. It was precisely in the Wei state that shang martingale, a defender who was not reused, implemented the change of law in the qin state that the qin state was once again restored to strengthen the army. Shang Martin assisted Qin Xiaogong in carrying out a series of reforms: institutionally reforming household registration, military merits, land, administrative divisions, taxes, weights and measures, etc., and formulating strict laws to ensure the implementation and implementation of the law; in the economic aspect, it was based on agriculture and implemented the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce; and rewarding farming with grain production and military merit as the standard, prompting the transformation of the Qin state into a wartime system.
After Shang Martin's change of method, the old Qin people, who were originally martial, were even more fearless of death and eager to fight. It can be said that the change of shang martingale made the Qin state form a result of maximizing combat effectiveness in the system. This laid a solid foundation for hegemony over the Qin Dynasty.
Fan Sui:
Fan Ju was also a native of the State of Wei, and was suspected of being almost whipped by Wei Qi, the Chancellor of the State of Wei. Later, he fled to the State of Qin to sell the strategy of long-distance and close-range attack to King Qin Zhao, which was heavily used by the King of Qin. Fan Sui's main contribution was to assist the Qin state in implementing the strategy of long-distance and close-range attacks: the distant and non-bordering State of Qi claimed that the two countries had been friendly for generations, which objectively undermined the Six-Nation Alliance; and gradually encroached on the bordering Han Zhao Wei. Fan Sui's policy successfully dismantled the Six-Nation Alliance and encroached on many han and Wei territories. It made Han and Wei really feel the pain of the skin, and laid the foundation for the future annihilation of Han and Wei.
Zhang Yi:
Zhang Yi was a famous zongheng scholar and diplomat during the Warring States period of the Wei dynasty. At that time, when a hundred schools of thought were arguing, he and his brother Su Qin, who hung the seal of the Six Kingdoms, adopted different diplomatic methods, and were famous among the princes at that time. At that time, the State of Qin had already shown the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and the Six Eastern Kingdoms were basically incapable of defeating the State of Qin if they singled out. So Su Qin under the Ghost Valley Gate lobbied the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin. Su Qin eventually succeeded in hanging the Six Kingdoms Xiangyin to preside over the joint regency, which made the Qin State feel pressured.
Zhang Yi, as Su Qin's brother-in-law, entered Qin to sell his pioneering "LianHeng" technique to King Hui of Qin, and was appreciated by King Hui of Qin and named Xiangguo. Zhang Yi was ordered to send envoys to lobby various countries to break the "vertical" with "horizontal" and "vertical" means. The result was very gratifying that the alliance between various countries was broken, and Zhang Yi was awarded the title of Wu Xinjun for his merits.
Zhang Yi's performance was even astonishing to Su Qin, and the "Chronicle of Zhang Yilie" records that Su Qin praised the words "Zhang Yi, the sage of the world, I am a fu ruye." ”
brief summary:
For more than a hundred years, the Qin State has continued to attach importance to the talents of various countries, which is the basis for the hegemony of the Qin State. The Qin state dared to hand over its own national affairs to foreign talents, and such a broad mind allowed the Qin state to successfully copy and surpass the process of Wei's hegemony. In the end, the six kingdoms were unified and the first unified feudal dynasty in the history of our country was established.
I am the emperor of history, welcome your attention; if there is a flaw, the axe is right.
