The depth of the history of great powers, the hidden historical law of the rise and fall of the Qin Empire

We all know that China is a country with an ancient civilization of thousands of years. But from my personal point of view, China is unique and stands out from the historical comparisons of other countries. When did it start? The answer is from the martingale method. First of all, we have to be sure. Most of the history we know is not what the people of that period described. It is imagined by posterity. They may tell the history of their predecessors based on certain facts. But it does not tell the ulterior laws of history from behind. The rise and fall of each dynasty. There must be its own unique rules. So let's start with the Qin Kingdom.

Because the Qin Dynasty was the first centralized dynasty with institutional unity in the history of the Chinese nation, then its predecessor was the State of Qin, one of the Seven Warring States. There must have been a very important event, or the core of his power discovered a new objective law that no one had discovered before. The operation of the entire country is centered on this objective law, which makes the country gradually stronger. Gradually unified the Chinese nation and established the first centralized dynasty. Then we can probably be familiar with the content of the martingale transformation method. But the problem is that we really understand the background ring at that time, especially what happened in the Qin Kingdom. Some people even raised doubts about whether the Qin state was an agrarian regime, a semi-peasant and semi-pastoral regime, or a handicraft industrial and commercial regime. So what kind of objective law does he tell us? The so-called objective law is that it can be placed in any historical period, any historical time, it is applicable. Yuki believed that he told us. The strength of the state should be clear. From the current point of view, the law should be clear and cannot be changed arbitrarily. The same is true of national institutions. The manner in which he operates, as well as the procedures, whether or not they are clearly defined. It should not be arbitrarily changed. That is, the way power is used, and the scope must be very clear. This is important. Because in the thousands of years of history, no regime has really done this. Reward cultivation war, combined with the historical background environment of the Qin State at that time, we can draw an objective law that the core of state power is to deal with the main contradictions of the present. Moreover, the design of the operation system of state power should be based on the main contradictions of the current state. In fact, in addition to the core content of rewards and likes, there are also a series of supporting measures such as prohibiting private fighting, adult men having to open accounts, and so on. There must have been violations of the corresponding legal system during this period. But they were punished mercilessly. Because of state power, he has no role. Only the right of the state acts on every individual through the will of the state. Complete the national mission. Only then can the whole society progress and improve. And, of course, the military merit knighthood system. The objective law he reflected is that under the domination of centralized power, to ensure that the upward and downward channels cannot be solidified by class, so that anyone has a clear way. Can ensure ascent. So this is the military merit system. But we forget that he cannot be hereditary. This is key. This means that titles cannot be inherited. That is, whoever has the credit belongs to whomever owns and cannot inherit it. The law of history he revealed is that all people are born unequal. One of the volitional missions of state power is to reduce the occurrence of such inequalities. This, of course, needs to be guaranteed by institutions. But you look at the subsequent regimes and dynasties, and even reflected in today's society. Few regimes can do that. If you think about it, a son cannot inherit the wealth of Lao Tzu. What kind of society is that? Everyone needs to work through their own efforts. to gain their corresponding status, which has nothing to do with others, let alone parents. Only related to one's own struggle. Is this society unfair? Is it unjust? Another problem is rewarding ploughing battles. Does it mean that the Qin State is a simple farming people? The answer is definitely not. However, judging from the materials declassified by later archaeology, he is definitely not a simple farming people, and it can be said that the core of the main body of his rights is biased towards industry and commerce. Because it's simple, food prices are very low. We suspect that the reason why he encouraged people to farm and harvest more food was to encourage those who could farm to farm. Those who can't farm have to rely on other ways to gain their social status, such as killing enemies on the battlefield. But if you look at the history we are familiar with is the Terracotta Army, in fact, the manufacturing industry of the Qin State is very developed. And he was the first country in the world to carry out standardized production. The advanced weapons declassified by the Terracotta Army. It is impossible to produce such weapons without modern large-scale industrial technology. So there are still many unsolved mysteries, which need to be discovered by future generations. For this alone, we can conclude that he is not a simple agrarian people, because there is only one situation in which the agrarian people want to keep food prices low. That is, after a series of large-scale wars, the population suddenly declined. This will lead to lower food prices. But this is not the case in the Qin Kingdom. He is more like a modern state with a monopoly on all grain. Keep food prices low. Solve the problem of food supply by increasing yields. In fact, he should attach great importance to food production. It is clear that there is no country in history where the dynastic regime has attached as much importance to agricultural production as he did. Here are some examples. The unified weights and measures of martingale are actually Allah for food production. Moreover, the State of Qin used bronze weapons as the main weapons of war. Of course, a small amount of iron can also be produced, then its iron tools mainly act on food production, which can be found from the historical decipherment of archaeology. What do his objective laws reflect? Even the most advanced technology must be used in the production field. I don't know how many other regimes of the time, such as the other Warring States Six Kingdoms. Will they attach as much importance to grain production as the Qin State? In fact, through historical decryption, an interesting truth can also be discovered. That is, most of the time when the Qin State launched a war abroad was after the autumn harvest, to be precise, in winter. Why? Because spring and summer are all about producing food. This cannot violate the objective law of food production. This remains important today. Unless it is a very necessary military operation, he will not put it in the spring and summer. The historical law it reflects is the core guarantee of state power. Production of basic subsistence resources. If you want to carry out some non-essential activities, try not to interfere with the production of living resources. Now you know why the military exercises of the US-ROK coalition are known to be placed in the spring ploughing time. It is to prevent the North Korean military and civilians from effectively producing food. So spring ploughing and autumn harvest every year. can all be reflected in the State Department. This is the most basic and basic resource for survival. Without this supply, then everything in all society and the operation of state power is empty words. This is also the most direct reason for the later demise of the Qin Dynasty. In fact, there are a series of historical events that can prove that the Qin State attaches great importance to grain production. As well as his cultivation of land. They are all very scientifically focused. For example, Annihilation Bashu. Construction of Dujiangyan. and Zheng Boqu in Guanzhong. and a series of water conservancy projects. His core element is to increase food production. If you think about it, how much labor is needed to complete these two major water conservancy projects? How much food do they need to consume during this period? Therefore, the grain production of the Qin State at that time should be very large.

Let's talk about the succession of power in the Qin state. Every dynasty succeeds in full force, and there is a brief upheaval. However, although the Qin state also had turmoil, it did not affect the inheritance of the will of the entire country. The law behind him is that the political top can fight. But his scope is limited to a certain extent. It cannot be sown, it spreads to the whole country. And the succession of political rights should not harm the political clarity of the previous generation, that is, there are some things that do not do something very problematic because you inherited the rights of the previous generation. We call it political clarity because it cannot violate some obvious objective laws of history. That is, some obvious low-level errors. If mistakes are made, they must be corrected immediately, otherwise the country will turn to the other side. For example, Qin Huiwenjun inherited the right of Qin Xiaogong. In order to ensure the stability of the country, he killed the merchant martingale. But he retained the system created by Martingale and killed his opponents. He can be counted as a Ming Jun. Because what the Qin State needs is not only the person of Shang Martingale, but to retain his merits, that is, the system of Shang Martingale transformation law. In fact, King Qin Zhao also made a relatively big mistake. For example, Baiqi. In fact, Bai Qi was killed by King Qin Zhao, and that person was Fan Sui, who proposed the long-distance offensive measures. But he later discovered his mistake. Killed the man again. Because he was in the position of prime minister, but there was no clear ending later. Historians speculate that he may have been killed by King Zhao of Qin. To sum up, it is precisely because it is the core of the power of the Qin state that the national will respects the above historical laws. Therefore, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the entire country was emerging and prosperous. A proactive government. Then he suddenly underwent a marked decline in the following time. Then he must have violated some taboos.

First of all, the first is to send troops to Lingnan. That is, today's Liangguang area. Because hundreds of thousands of soldiers died during this period. Although today's Lingnan was finally included in the territory of the Chinese nation, I think there may be problems with the system of the Qin Dynasty. That is to say, his politics are not so clear, and it can be said that Qin Shi Huang has gone towards a conceited dictatorship. Because sending troops to Lingnan has done a good job of intelligence work on the front line? What about the grain transportation problem in the future? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were hastily mobilized. How could such a decision occur in an unfamiliar territory? The previous Qin state was very politically clear. Then we can be sure that there were objections raised at that time, at least not in such a hurry. Although history is not written, we can imagine. And the final decision-maker is Qin Shi Huang. He should have been relatively happy at that time. The armies of the six nations were wiped out. What's more, Lingnan in the Southern Barbarian Land, how could he stop his army? This is, of course, personal speculation, but it should be in line with the historical logic of the time. There are also obvious historical facts that can reflect the great changes in the power core of the Qin Dynasty at that time, and the power core operated by the Qin Dynasty was completely different from the overall idea proposed by the Shang Martingale Transformation Law at that time. It's the question of succession. Did he choose a successor? He didn't say. If it is not said, then it should be primogeniture. That key historical figure is what we call Gongzi Fusu. It can be said that Gongzi Fusu actually played a very important key role after the unification of the six countries. And this role precisely reflects Qin Shi Huang's arbitrary and solitary behavior, that is, no one is allowed to express different opinions. The most obvious is the opinion of Qin Shi Huang and his eldest son Fusu. Getting along with Fusu believes that the world needs to cultivate and recuperate. Shi Huang, on the other hand, believes that there is no power in the world that can threaten his existence, so he should enjoy himself. Then we can imagine that the imperial court must have divided into two factions. If it is the kind of thinking during the Shang Martingale reform period, then what we should respect is of course that the prince has lost. But the right mind can't twist the thigh of power. Plus the core of that right is his father. And everyone believes that to unify the world, Qin Shi Huang has the first merit. So this will chill the person who gave the right opinion. It is clear that those who have a sense of justice, ministers with a sense of justice. Put forward the right opinion, you are not adopted, forget it, and you are suppressed. What's the most obvious? It is to send Gongzi Fusu to the Great Wall of the Frontier, what do you mean? Let him go through it. A variety of interpretations can be made from the rear wheels. You can say that Qin Shi Huang asked Gongzi to help Su go to the frontier to practice, but from the environmental background at that time, at least in terms of people at that time, at least when I Qin Shi Huang was still there, you don't come back first, and when I didn't explicitly tell you to come back, you don't come back. However, he did not explicitly say that he would transfer future rights to Gongzi Fushu. This creates a very serious problem. It is the core and procedure of the operation of state power, which is not as fixed and transparent as before, and it is as vague as possible. Moreover, the rights he operates are not designed to resolve the current contradictions, especially the main ones. This point was the root cause of the decline of the Qin Dynasty. It is the root cause of the demise of any regime. The objective law he reflects is that the core of state power is not transparent. The operational ambiguity at least makes his ordinary people think so. I don't know what the state is doing? Moreover, the will of state power does not operate by resolving the main contradictions of the moment. So there is only one fate that awaits them, and that is destruction. In fact, this point is very similar to which later dynasty. The answer is the Ming Dynasty. We should not feel any pity about the demise of the Ming Dynasty, because the mistakes he made were worse and more serious than those of the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that since he established Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, he himself made a series of serious low-level mistakes. Of course, we'll talk about that later. But the Ming dynasty was the most declining. When is the decline most obvious? It is the Wanli Emperor. He let his eunuchs, that is, the secret agencies, the East Factory and the West Factory rob the people at will. Completely built himself into a bandit leader. No matter how hard he tries to be reborn later, he will not be able to save the country. In fact, Reborn also made a very important mistake, which caused his regime to suddenly disintegrate. That is, he killed Wei Zhongxian. Because at that time, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were three forces, the imperial castration party and the Donglin party. Third, equity forces are balanced against each other. It is possible to bring the will of the state down to the grassroots. You know that as soon as Wei Zhongxian died, the Donglin Party came to power. As a result, he could not even receive military food, because the country's finances and taxes were controlled by the Donglin Party, and when Wei Zhongxian was in the past, he could still make money for the country. In fact, there was a very important debate at that time. It was that at that time, there was a problem with the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian's faction believes that Jiangnan interviews need to be taxed, that is, the rich are taxed. The faction, led by the Donglin Party, believed that peasant land should be taxed. In fact, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you have a little brain. You should understand that no matter how bastard Wei Zhongxian is, you must not kill him. Because of the Donglin Party, he definitely does not support you. Later, you can think about what rise Li Zicheng has? It was because of Wei Zhongxian's death. The core of the entire state power fell into the hands of the Donglin Party. He imposed heavy taxes on the peasants, and as a result, the people had no livelihood. Li Zicheng rose up. The subsequent outcome was doomed to the inevitable demise of the Ming Dynasty. There is no way to return to heaven.

This rule reflects the power of the State, which must operate transparently. He must let ordinary people know that the rights of the state are resolved. Tangible questions. Because this is a philosophical height, why is there a state? Because there must be some problems that cannot be solved by the ability of individuals or the collective people of the locality. Like war, like flood fighting, like drought fighting. He needs to set up a larger entity of organizational rights. That is the state. to complete this task. And when the state uses state power, it will definitely pay the corresponding cost, and this cost is very significant. And the burden of this cost is precisely all the people in this society. Therefore, state power must be exercised prudently and must be innocent. It means that the operation of State power must be transparent. It is necessary to let the people of the world, at least those in the middle, know what exactly is to be done when international use of national rights. And this matter must be the contradiction that is to be faced at the moment. It is better to be the primary contradiction or the primary contradiction. This is the most fundamental reason for the demise of all dynasties. State power may not necessarily be in the hands of the emperor, but may also be in the hands of ministers. He must conform to the example of the state and give it to the grassroots level in order to complete an event. So the emperor does not necessarily hold state power. And the person who really holds the power of the state, his will must have reached the grassroots level. Therefore, when Hu Hai came to power later, he did not represent the entire country, and it was Zhao Gao who really held the core power. He was able to convey the will of state power to the people through intermediate links. Actually, there is another event. It was indirectly proved through archaeology that it was Qin Shi Huang's fifth cruise. When I went back, the price of grain for the private sector had risen from 30 years ago to 1,600 yuan. This means very hyperinflation. There is only one end for him, and the regime must die. Because the state is out of control. That's what came later. A very crucial reason why the Kuomintang retreated? Because there is no inflation in the liberated territories. And there is hyperinflation in the Guotong region. You can imagine that at that time, the core of the power of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang would still reign, so he was the gravedigger of the Qin Dynasty. Although history does not clearly account how he and the ministers of the time discussed. But one thing we can be sure of is that he doesn't think inflation matters, at least not his rights. Therefore, no more resources were mobilized to solve this problem, and the most funny thing was that Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu overseas. Immortal hunting. That is, to find the legendary elixir of life. I think he must have been deluding himself about this. Because if there really is an elixir of life, then their predecessors don't know? He still thinks that his abilities are as powerful as their predecessors. So this is obvious political ambiguity. The core of the entire state power does not know what it is doing, the whole state power operates, and he is certainly not trying to solve the current problems. At least not at the national level, but to devote a lot of resources to solving personal problems, which can never be accomplished. So later he was deceived and killed a group of Taoist priests. If you think about it, when he was in power, it was so dim that he was working at full strength. There is simply no ability. To save the country's crisis, so it is not at all surprising that Zhao Gao pointed to the deer for the horse that appeared in the later period. And it can also be found in his rival Liu Bang Group. Whether it was Zhang Liang or Xiao He. At least those who have worked in the Qin state system know that the country's demise is inevitable.

Finally, a summary. The rise of the Qin state and the demise of the Qin dynasty reflected profound historical laws. It is the core operation of state power to be transparent. State power can be delegated to the grassroots population. The use of power by the state is to resolve the main contradiction of the state, that is, the main contradiction or the primary contradiction faced by that society. It is an extremely urgent problem. If the power of the state does not solve these kinds of problems, then there is a problem with the country. And to be sure, the politics of the country are not so pro-mingling. Conversely, it's political darkness. Moreover, the operation of state power should ensure the supply of resources for the survival of the country. Yes, it is the operation of state power, which cannot affect the supply of resources for the survival of the country. During the more than two thousand years of imperial time, food resources have been considered as a survival resource. Behind the problem of food resources are land resources and water resources. So whenever a population skyrockets, if the politics are not clear, then the country will inevitably decline or even perish. It is a pity that in the imperial system that has lasted for more than two thousand years, no dynasty has been able to jump out of this law. Or get the clearest way to solve this problem. And this problem was briefly linked after the opening of the Great Voyage in the West. China, on the other hand, has been sinking.
