After more than ten generations of monarchs worked hard to govern, its political status and military strength were greatly improved, and finally after Qin Shi Huang ascended to the throne, it was able to sweep away Liuhe and unify the world. Of course, in addition to the merits of the kings, the achievements of the Qin Kingdom are inseparable from those who have worked hard to worry about their courtiers. Especially under the hands of The Yingzheng, the 10 famous generals who can conquer good battles.
There is a strange thing here, Qin Shi Huang established the Qin Dynasty 15 years after the end of the fall, first by Xiang Yu killed almost all the Qin Dynasty nobles, and then let Liu Bang take the world into his pocket. Where did these 10 famous players go during this time? It's not like I can't move when I'm old, or I'll all die early! In history, we only see Zhang Handan as the commander, and the Qin army has no past style in the face of the enemy, and it is beaten to lose its armor and armor.
To figure this out, let's first look at who the ten celebrities are:
WANG Qi, WANG Ben, MENG Tian, MENG Wu, MENG Yi, WANG Li, YANG Duanhe, LI Xin, NEI Shi Teng, XIN Sheng (in no particular order)
Among them, the famous generals familiar to many of them are Wang Qi and Meng Tian, and their endings are also clearly recorded. When Wang Qi led the army to cut down Chu, he was worried about being jealous of Qin Shi Huang and was forced to pretend to be a greedy general to constantly ask for credit, which saved his military power and position. After the fall of the Chu state, Wang Qi was ordered to lead troops to march south to Baiyue, frequently going to some barbaric places, which shows that Qin Shi Huang gradually became jealous of it. Therefore, Wang Qi chose to retreat bravely, took the initiative to resign his official position and live in seclusion, and finally saved his life, so it was impossible to help the later Qin Dynasty's crisis.
As the son of Wang Qi, Wang Ben performed well in the battles against Chu, Wei, Zhao, and Yan, and often had clever tricks to break the situation. Later, Wang Ben was ordered to guard Liaodong and was given the title of Marquis of Tongwu after Qin Shi Huang unified the world. After being influenced by his father, Wang Ben also chose to resign and retire, and Qin Shi Huang only took him on a few tours of the east, and then simply let him go.
Meng Tian was stationed in the north for many years to guard against the Xiongnu, and he was an orthodox princeling, and Fu Su was under his protection. After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao and Li Si secretly plotted a coup d'état and stabbed Fu Su to death with a false holy will, and Meng Tian also chose to swallow medicine and commit suicide because he could not protect the prince.
Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi also had a similar ending, and after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he naturally wanted to purge his brother Fu Su's henchmen and establish his own faction. So Zhao Gao took this opportunity to frame Meng Yi with rumors, and Hu Hai imprisoned and killed him.
The remaining 6 famous players that you are not familiar with, we are roughly divided into three categories to introduce in detail:
People who died before the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty: Li Xin and Nei Shi Teng.
Li Xin was a young general trusted by Qin Shi Huang, and it was he who forced the Yan state to surrender when he led the army to cut down Yan, and sacrificed the head of Prince Dan to Qin Shi Huang, avenging the assassination of Jing Ke in the first place. Unfortunately, later he took the place of Wang Qi in command of the battle to destroy Chu, and was defeated by the Chu general Xiang Yan for a while. After that, Wang Qi was reactivated, and there was no more news of Li Xin. Therefore, it is generally believed that Li Xin was not killed in this battle, but also died of wounds after the war.
Neisten's exploits were relatively modest, as he led his troops against the weakest of South Koreas. However, Nei Shi Teng was quite outstanding in logistical management and national governance capabilities, and the Qin army overthrew Korea at the lowest cost, and it took less than a year to appease the Korean people and win the hearts and minds of the people, making the qin state's rule in this land increasingly strong. Unfortunately, the accumulation of labor became ill, and Nei Shi Teng eventually died in office, when the Qin Dynasty had just been established.
People who are unknown in the history books: Yang Duanhe, Meng Wu, Xin Sheng.
Yang Duanhe's reputation is not very loud, but in the existing historical records, it is shown that this person has never been defeated in his military career, and has achieved good deeds in attacking the State of Wei twice and the State of Zhao once. However, in the later period of the war to destroy the country, there was no longer a figure of Yang Duanhe.
Meng Wu was Meng Tian's father and the head of the Meng family, who once followed Wang Qi in attacking the Chu state, beheading the last famous general of the Chu army, Xiang Yan, and capturing the Chu king, so that the Chu state was completely destroyed. After the destruction of Chu, the Meng family led the army and Meng Yi in the dynasty, and Meng Wu probably gradually retired due to his advanced age, and there is no follow-up record.
Xin Sheng was a general highly valued by Qin Shi Huang, and after Jing Ke stabbed Qin, he was sent to attack the Yan state, encircling the Yan army west of Yishui, forcing the Yan state to cut off the land and seek peace, which was a bad breath for Qin Shi Huang. It is a pity that this general has no news in the later historical records, and I am afraid that he is also less fierce.
Leading the Qin army around to suppress the rebellion, the last hope of the Qin Dynasty: Wang Li.
After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms of Qin, his grandfather Wang Qi and his father Wang Ben both chose to retire, but he still retained the dream of defending his family and defending the country. As a result, Qin Shi Huang sent him to the northern defense line of the former Zhao state, and cooperated with Meng Tian against the Xiongnu and other Hu people.
After the outbreak of chaos at the end of Qin, Qin II selected Zhang Handan to lead the army in the middle of the dynasty, and for the sake of safety, he also ordered Wang Li to lead his army south, and the two armies cooperated in battle. In the Battle of Julu, Zhang Handan and Wang Li besieged Zhao Xie and Zhang Er of the Zhao state in Julu City, attracting rebels from all over the world to come to the rescue and prepare to solve the rebellion all at once.
Unfortunately, even if he wang li was from a famous general family, he could not beat Xiang Yu, the strongest warrior in the world. In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led 50,000 Chu troops to break the cauldron and destroy the 400,000 troops led by Wang Li and Zhang Handan from the front. Zhang Handan had no choice but to surrender, and Wang Li was captured, and eventually there was no news, probably killed by Xiang Yu.
In the final analysis, the death of qin dynasty II is an irreversible fate, even if all 10 famous generals appear, it is difficult to change the outcome of the Qin dynasty. At that time, the imperial court was controlled by the faint-hearted Hu Hai and the dictatorial Zhao Gao, who could not listen to any advice, and could not do a good thing that benefited the people and the country. Under such a situation, even the most powerful general could not save the Qin Kingdom!
As explained in the "Theory of Passing the Qin": "The strength of attack and defense is different without benevolence and righteousness!" "It was easy for Qin Shi Huang to fight the world, but Qin II Hu Hai did not properly arrange the people of the world, did not care about the people's livelihood, and eventually he would be overthrown by others."
