The King of Qin swept Liuhe, the tiger looked at He Xiongya, swung his sword to avoid floating clouds, and the princes came to the west. From this poem "The King of Qin Sweeps The Sixth Harmony", we can see how majestic and strategic the King of Qin was at that time, and how terrible the Qin army he led was. After all, the King of Qin swept through the Six Kingdoms to achieve the great unification of China, commanding the world, and did not dare to disobey. The book is the same text, the car is on the same track, the unified currency, the weights and measures have to be lamented, worthy of the emperor of the ages.
Qin Shi Huang was not only powerful, but even the Qin army he led was also known as the Tiger and Wolf Division, and was the country that attached the most importance to military affairs during the Spring and Autumn Period. Because the emperors of various dynasties have a belief, that is, to unify the world and sweep across all countries. In fact, the State of Qin was not a big country at the beginning of its founding, or even a small country that survived the conflicts of other countries. It has almost no chance of surviving peacefully and steadily, and it may also be a relationship that has been on the tip of this knife for a long time, which also makes the people of qin very brave, good at fighting, and not afraid of death. So how did the Qin army led by the First Emperor unify the Six Kingdoms? In fact, in the eyes of many experts, the weapons used by the Qin army were too powerful, and they were not at all at the same level as the weapons that appeared at that time.
First of all, let's talk about the origin of the Qin Army. At first, when the former King of Zhouping moved east to Luyi, in order to protect the King of Zhouping, the King of Xianqin led the powerful Qin people to help the Zhou Dynasty royal family resist barbarians from the west. After the fact, King Zhou Ping did not treat the King of Qin badly, let alone his army. Therefore, in order to commend the King of Qin for his meritorious service in guarding, the area east of Qishan was also divided and given to the pre-Qin at that time as a reward, but this reward actually included the deliberations of the King of Zhou Ping, because it also had a certain influence on the later Qin state. Ostensibly, it was because the Qin King's guards had meritorious service, but in fact, the Reward of the King of Zhou Ping to the Qin people was only a double eagle with one stone.
Because in the past, it was common for fiefs to reward meritorious servicemen, not to mention that ancient China was a large agricultural country, and land represented wealth. This also gave the Qin people a basis for survival, but it was not so simple, because the land given to the Qin people was not suitable for farming at that time, and it was still an undeveloped desolate place.
At that time, this land was not valued by other princes at all, not to mention that this land was also connected to the Western barbarians. It will be invaded at any time, and it is bound to fight all year round. Therefore, this means that if the Qin people want to establish a state in this land. Then, we must first survive in this land, and we must also deter the Western barbarians. Otherwise it simply cannot be used for nation-building.
King Ping's approach also meant that the future life of the Qin people must be accompanied by years of war. If the Qin wanted to survive, they had to help the Zhou Dynasty resist the invasion of western barbarians. Therefore, this means that the Qin state must have a very strong force, otherwise it will not be able to survive at all.
The Yue King hooked the sword
If the various wars that the Qin state experienced from the beginning were the basis of their strong foundation, then shang martingale's transformation method was the best medicine for their military strength to leap to the top of the middle and lower reaches. Whether it is in the economy, politics, culture and army have become the most leading position of the princely states, not to mention that the Qin State at that time also implemented the military merit system, which also made young people all over the country eager to join the army, all of them are one enemy and ten warriors, in order to become knights, military merit is not fatal. Seeing the enemy on the battlefield is like a hungry wolf seeing meat, frantically trying to get the opponent's first rank to make himself famous in one fell swoop.
The Shang martingale transformation method was also an indispensable factor for the Qin state to eventually be able to unify the world, because it completely turned the entire country into a real military power. All the people of the whole country have done is to invade and expand and accomplish the goal of unifying the world. This system created the Qin state, and also enabled everyone to go to the battlefield, and when fighting, everyone was a soldier, and they were not afraid of death. Therefore, under the wise leadership of Qin Shi Huang, the State of Qin completely overthrew the situation in which the Six Kingdoms achieved great unification.
Of course, the ideology and system are unified, so what is more important is the military quality of the army, the need for good generals, plus perfect military weapons and equipment. After all, sharpening the knife does not mistakenly cut wood, and full preparation in advance can make the work better. These reasons are essential. As a military power, the weapons of the Qin State will certainly have layers of checks in terms of quantity and quality. Especially when experts first excavated the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, they found that there was a Qin crossbow in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Even from the perspective of modern people, this Qin crossbow is still a very high-quality long-range weapon, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Warring States at that time. Even now, many experts are very skeptical about how the labor force of the Spring and Autumn And Warring States period at that time could make such a sophisticated weapon.
This is also enough to prove how terrible the military wisdom of the people of the Qin State is. In addition, the casting technology of the Qin state was much higher than that of all the princely states at that time. Everyone knows the sword of the Yue King, right? The sword has been buried underground for thousands of years. When it was dug out, it was still cold and sharp. Therefore, from this point of view, the military weapons of the Qin State at that time were indeed very good and of very high quality. Coupled with the fact that the whole country was brave and good at fighting, basically no one could stop the Qin State at that time.
Therefore, it is also natural that the Qin soldiers, who possess super weapons, are brave and good at war, and are not afraid of death, sweep through the six countries and unify the world.
