What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
The State of Qin was originally only a small country in the Guanzhong region, and Shi Yiyun was also destined to let this small country dominate the world. From Qin Xiaogong to Qin Shi Huang, the Qin state not only had such great talents as Shang Martin, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, Lü Buwei, and Li Si, but also produced six talented kings in a row. The monarch decides the future of a country, and the accumulation of several generations meets a master of great talents, and the unification of Qin Shi Huang is obvious. So, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, how did Qin Shi Huang deal with the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms?
Before the attack, the State of Qin planned a plan, which could be divided into three steps. That is to encircle Yan Qi, stabilize Chu Wei, eliminate Han Zhao, and then break through each one to unify the whole country. According to the plan, the weakest South Korea will be destroyed first. In the seventeenth year of the reign of the Qin Dynasty (230 BC), Nei Shi Teng led the Qin army across the Yellow River and conquered the Han capital Xinzheng in one fell swoop. Han Wang An was captured, Korea was destroyed, and the Qin state set up Yingchuan County in Han.
The Korean people have always been unarmed, caught between four powerful enemies, and have long relied on great powers to survive. King An of Han ascended the throne in 239 BC, and by the time he ascended the throne, Korea was on the verge of extinction, reigning for only nine years. At first, Eun Jeong did not want to kill him, but put him under house arrest in Chen County, but in 226 BC, the old Korean nobles tried to restore the country and rebelled. In order to eradicate the scourge, King Han was put to death under house arrest, and Korea never had a chance to take revenge.
The second to be destroyed was the State of Zhao, and when the State of Qin destroyed Korea, the State of Zhao encountered a severe drought and was short of food at home. This situation was undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Qin state, and after stabilizing the Korean area, it immediately aimed its forces at the Zhao state. In October 228 BC (the nineteenth year of the reign of the Qin Dynasty), the Qing army took Handan captive King Qian of Zhao. Gongzi Jia fled with his clan, and in 222 BC (the twenty-fifth year of the reign of the Qin King), the Qin army completely eliminated the Zhao state involved forces.
In the final battle, Dai Wang Jia was captured, and the State of Zhao was completely destroyed. After King Qian of Zhao was captured, Yin Zheng exiled him to the mountains of Fangling (in present-day Fang County, Hubei), and there is no record of it. Maybe he was cut down by Yingzheng and removed from the roots, or maybe he survived, just living the life of an ordinary person. As for Dai Wang Jia, there is also no record, and there are very few documents that can be left in that chaotic world, and Sima Qian can find so much.
The third to be destroyed was the State of Wei, and in the twenty-second year of the reign of the King of Qin, the Qin army bypassed the 38 cities of the State of Chu and surrounded the capital of the State of Wei, Daliang. Subsequently, the Yellow River was blocked to block the southern reinforcements from going south, and the Wei army in the city could not hold out. Such a battlefield cannot be dragged on for a long time, and after the strong attack was ineffective, the Qin army diverted the water of the Yellow River and the chasm to irrigate the city. Three months later, King Fei of Wei was defeated after some resistance, and the state of Wei was destroyed. As the last monarch of the State of Wei, there are few records of the False King of Wei, and there is no record of his fate.
The fourth is the State of Chu, which is one of the six kingdoms that can slightly resist the State of Qin, but the trend of the times. Xiang Yan was beheaded, the capital of the Chu state, Shouchun, was soon captured, and the Chu king Xiong Was taken prisoner. This is not the last monarch of the Chu State, and there is no record of how he went in history, and the last one was his younger brother Xiong Qi, the Jun of Changping. After the fall of the Chu state, Xiong Qi used the Yangtze River as a barrier to occupy Wuyue. However, not long after Meng Wu came to attack, Xiong Qibing committed suicide in defeat, and Chu completely disintegrated.
Then in the twentieth year of Qin Shi Huang (227 BC), the Qin army continued to attack Yan, and this year Jing Ke stabbed Qin. In that era, the assassination was actually not glorious, and it was also a trick that Prince Dan came up with in despair. To this end, King Xi of Yan beheaded Prince Dan and dedicated it to Yingzheng in the hope that the Qin army would stop attacking. The State of Qin never wanted the head of a prince, and three years later, the Qin army that ended the Chu War turned around and attacked the State of Yan. King Xi of Yan was captured, and there is no record of Zhao Jiabing committing suicide in defeat.
At this point, only the State of Qi remained, and Wang Jian of Qi was faint and incompetent, and had no power to resist at all. However, even the State of Yan had stubbornly resisted, and the State of Qi, once an incomparably powerful country, surrendered without a fight, and finally Qi Wangjian was sent to Yugong. Qi Wangjian wanted to come and only know how to enjoy it, and in the end he did not have a good end and was starved to death. The consequences of these last emperors, who have no record, are unknown, after all, Yingzheng is different from most emperors.
Maybe he will let these people who are no longer in trouble, maybe he will choose to cut the grass and remove the roots, in short, for history, these people are not really important. In ten years, Qin Shi Huang completed unification and established the first centralized state in Chinese history. The merits of this ancient emperor did not stop there, in a word, the ancestral dragon soul was still dead qin.
