I don't know if you have considered a question: If we lost the Korean War that year, can this war still become a great battle for the founding of New China?
My answer is: The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, regardless of success or failure, can become a great battle for the founding of New China!
In fact, from the moment the mainland decided to send troops, it had already been decided that the final victory must belong to us and can only belong to us!
A great man once said: "The Korean War, how long it will take, I don't think we should make a decision." It was Truman in the past, Eisenhower later, or whatever future president of the United States would decide. We will fight as long as they want, until complete victory! ”
That is to say, no matter how strong you are, I will destroy you, even if I kill a thousand enemies and self-damage eight hundred, I will resolutely defend my bottom line! The choice of whether to fight or not is yours, but it can only be me who wins!
We often say: War is a contest of comprehensive national strength. This statement itself is true, but it ignores the most central element that determines the outcome of a war: willpower.
War is not only a contest of comprehensive national strength, but also a contest of willpower of both sides!
This begs the question: what does a weak person have to do to stand tall and survive in front of the strong?
The answer is also very simple, you just need to beat all the strong people around you!
If a schoolboy doesn't want to be bullied by a high school student, the best way is to go up and bite him hard when he beats you! Although elementary school students still can't hurt high school students in real sense, the next time he wants to bully you, he will definitely not forget the pain of being bitten to the heart! Even if the scar disappears, the painful memory will make high school students weigh whether they dare to bear the feeling of being bitten again!
The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of death.
Although my weapons are not as good as yours, I would rather use my body to block bullets than pull you along with the burial!" In order to break through your position, even if the fire burns me, I can endure severe pain and feel the loss of life, just so that my comrades can launch a fatal blow to you! I can't afford to eat milk bread, but a handful of yakisoba and a handful of snow can make me burst out the strongest in combat! Even if the ice and snow are frozen and my body is completely turned into an ice sculpture, I still have to maintain a fighting posture, as long as one person remains, you will not want to break through my defenses!"
I believe that even if we partially lose this war, New China will definitely stand tall in the East because of this war, and when they want to provoke our core interests again, they will never forget the fear in their souls.
At any time, the weak face a strong enemy, and only by desperately can they live with dignity!
In 370 BC, Marquis Xueshi of Weiwu, who had ruled for 25 years, was a genius loser who was not as kind as his father. His father Wei Wenhou handed him a strong but many friends of the Wei state, during the Wei Wenhou period, there was only one enemy in the world (the Qin state), and this second ancestor relied on the family inheritance accumulated by his father, beat all the old friends around him, and achieved his fame alone, but in the end left his son a powerful but hostile Wei state.
Qin Xiangong used his precious ten years to reform the maladministration of the Qin state, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Qin state. In order to successfully return to Qin and seize power, he had promised Wei Wuhou that he would not invade the Wei state while Wei Wuhou was alive, so that the Wei state could fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.
Hexi did not recover the lost land for a day, and the Qin state was still in danger from the Three Jin Dynasties all the time. In addition, Qin Xiangong's reforms caused dissatisfaction among the old nobles of the Qin state:
"You girl, when we welcomed you back as the boss to share the cake, but your old boy didn't give us a penny when he was rich, and gave it to the original gang of turtles (the new landlords), unloading the mill and killing the donkey?"
In order to resolve the internal contradictions, Qin Xiangong urgently needed to start a war. But everyone is a "civilized person", even if you want to cut the fight, you need a high-sounding excuse (the division is famous). Soon, Sanjin helped him create a great reason:
When Marquis Wu of Wei died, Han and Zhao wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the Wei state and support King Wei Hui's younger brother Gong Zhongshou in his struggle for the throne, and after King Wei Hui defeated his brother's successful accession to the throne, the two countries allied to attack Wei, defeated the Wei army at Zhuoze, and besieged King Wei in the army. However, on how to deal with the Wei state, Han and Zhao had differences, and the two countries eventually broke up, which allowed King Hui of Wei not only to retain the throne, but also to avoid the danger of the country split.
In the second year (368 BC), King Hui of Wei organized the Wei army to counterattack Han and Zhao, crushing them with absolute strength.
King Hui of Wei taught his younger brother a lesson, but since Marquis Wuhou of Wei changed the national policy of the Wen Marquis period, the State of Qi had always regarded the State of Qi as a great enemy of dominating the Central Plains, so King Hui of Wei re-enlisted Han and Zhao to re-ally with them, and said to Korea in 366 BC:
"Zhou Tianzi is too wasteful, Luoyang is too eye-catching, it's better for the brothers to divide Luoyang City"
So Han Wei would meet with Zhai Yang and threaten Zhou Tianzi. Seeing that the excuse was coming, Qin Xiangong scolded Han Wei bitterly:
"You two are really not human! Zhou Tianzi is our boss, you dare to commit a crime, uncle can endure, my old Qin people can't bear it!" I'm going to beat you up on behalf of "Heaven"! ”
So Qin Xiangong sent troops to Korea in the name of King Qin, advanced all the way to Luoyang, and defeated the Han and Wei coalition forces in Luoyang. At this time, the relationship between the three Jin Dynasties existed in name only, and the two defeated countries began to fight each other again, and the Wei kingdom in turn beat up his younger brother in Yangdi in Korea.
After Qin Xiangong raised troops "King Qin" to defeat the Han and Wei coalition army, Zhou Tianzi was very happy, and immediately sent someone to Qin Xiangong to praise Qin Xiangong fiercely:
"Well done!"
Objectively speaking, although this battle did not achieve substantial benefits, it greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Qin State, and the old Qin people, who had been bullied by the Three Jin Dynasties for hundreds of years, finally saw the dawn of victory. It turns out that the powerful Sanjin can also be defeated! Qin Xiangong decided to strike while the iron was hot and prepare for a second battle against Wei.
In 364 BC, Duke Xian of Qin raided the Wei state, crossed the Yellow River, and went all the way deep into the territory of the Wei state, defeating the Wei army at Shimen, beheading 60,000 people.
Note that this is the first record of more than 10,000 beheadings in the history of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, although the history books do not clearly record the history of this battle, but the bloody number of beheadings still makes posterity feel the cruelty and bloodshed of this battle. Maybe it's the hatred of the former Jin State and the current Three Jin Dynasties who have repeatedly tyrannized the Qin State, or maybe the battle is too fierce, in short, the soldiers of the Qin State must have killed the red eye, and Qin Xiangong also completely put down the Spring and Autumn period to follow the war etiquette for hundreds of years, and finally opened the bloody slaughter mode.
And also after this battle, the Qin army completely turned into a tiger and wolf, completely lost the concept of good and evil in human nature, completely tore off the mask of hypocrisy, and returned to the cruel and murderous bestiality!
The difference is that the Qin army after the Shang Martingale transformation method is a strong evil wolf, while the Qin army at this time can only be a hungry wolf with teeth and claws. 但是毫无疑问，当这支军队被赋予嗜杀的灵魂，无论是恶狼还是饿狼，都将令人生畏！
Qin Xian is the leader who gave the soul of the Qin army! It's just that he will not think that there is a reincarnation in the way of heaven, and when the thirst for killing opens, his countrymen will also suffer the retaliation of the thirst for killing, and the Qin people after him opened the way with blood, killed the princes who were afraid, and killed the first great unified dynasty in China, but also accumulated huge grievances, his country, his people will also be brutally slaughtered!
Of course, this is a later story, Qin Xiangong Shimen defeated the ill-prepared Wei army, achieved a fierce victory, and he rewarded the meritorious landlords and nobles with the land he captured, temporarily alleviating the domestic crisis. Zhou Tianzi saw the great victory of the Qin army, and he was also very good at sending a nominal reward to Qin Xiangong, after all, he could not take substantial benefits.
"Chronicle. Qin Benji": Twenty-one years, fought with Jin at Shimen, beheaded 60,000, and the Son of Heaven He Yiyi.
After the Battle of Shimen, Qin Xiangong did not stop to digest the results of the war, but continued to seek opportunities to attack the Wei state, in 362 BC, just rescued the Wei state of Zhao in the Battle of Shimen Mountain, for some reason suddenly joined forces with Korea to attack Wei, taking advantage of the Three Jin Dynasty, Qin Xiangong once again sent troops to attack the Wei state and launched the Battle of Shaoliang.
The Wei state was caught in a two-sided war, but because the Wei state had always focused on the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, most of the Wei state's elite was used in the Battle of Muddy Water with the Han and Zhao coalition forces and defeated the Han and Zhao coalition forces again. The Battle of Shaoliang ended with a total victory for the Qin state, and Qin Xiangong captured the Wei commander Gongsun Xuan and captured Pangcheng.
"Chronicle. Qin Benji": Twenty-three years, he fought with Wei and Jin against Shaoliang, and captured his general Gongsun Xuan.
Although Qin Xiangong won the Battle of Shaoliang, the frequent large-scale wars for many years not only consumed the national strength that the Qin State had not easily recovered, but his own body was finally exhausted by years of conquest.
Drunken lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, and several people fought in ancient times.
The winner has exhausted all his family resources, and behind the cheers is the wailing of the country, the people are not living, and the loser is still rich and strong, singing and dancing even if he loses again and again. Ridiculous? Not funny at all!
This is the reality, this is the sadness of the weak, even if you try your best, you still can't do substantial harm to the strong!
But this is also the only way out for the weak! Only desperately again and again, even if you can only bite a piece of meat of the strong each time, as long as you can't fight to death, you can completely knock the strong one down one day!
The victory in the Battle of Shaoliang did not make the situation of the Qin State much better, on the contrary, it not only caused a domestic emptiness, but also attracted the attention of the Wei State, and when the Wei State began to pay attention to the Qin State, his elite Wei Wuxian would also make the Qin State breathless again under the leadership of a generation of famous generals!
And these Qin Xiangong can no longer take care of it, and all the bitter fruits need to be borne by his successor.
After the countryside was gone, flesh and blood flowed off the road.
Qin Xiaogong, it's time for you to play!
"Chronicle. Qin Benji": Twenty-four years, dedication to the father, son of filial piety, twenty-one years old.
