#古史传奇 #
King Xuan of Qi, mingtian and frontier. It seems that he was born to open up territory. King Xuan of Qi attached great importance to the Minoru Academy, treated the students of Minoru with great respect, and never became angry that the scholars were disrespectful to him.
He was also helped by Mencius, who talked to him about the king's way, and he accepted it.
In 320 BC, the usurpation of power by the Son of Yan immediately triggered a rebellion by the former Prince Ping, and at the same time, the whole country of Yan hated the thief of the thief of the son, and when King Xuan of Qi asked Mencius if he should take care of this matter, Mencius told him that the throne was sealed by Zhou Tianzi and should not be ceded, and the State of Yan should be crusaded.
After King Xuan of Qi heard this, he sent an army to the Yan kingdom. However, the State of Qi practiced the five capital system, the local decentralization was serious, the King of Qi could not control these armies, and the army of the State of Qi saw the treasure of the State of Yan and began to think crookedly, which eventually led to bad results.
It is said that King Qi Xuan never saw Mencius again, in fact, King Qi Xuan once looked for Mencius, and Mencius said that the Qi army was originally a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but it had broken away from the king's way by committing banditry. King Xuan of Qi realized his mistake and never dared to look for Mencius again.
So, why did King Xuan of Qi want to destroy the Yan kingdom?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > for the sake of world domination</h1>
The State of Qi was the first of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States to show its ambition to unify the world. Because at this time, the strong Qin in the west was vigilant by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and the Qin state did not dare to show too much ambition to unify the world. The first time the Qin state showed its ambition to unify the world was at the Battle of Handan after the Battle of Changping. The State of Zhao, on the other hand, wanted to destroy the State of Qin during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao. These were all later than the Destruction of Yan by King Xuan of Qi.
Moreover, after King Xuan of Qi withdrew from the Yan kingdom, he and his son King Qi Tang (祁湣王田地) marched south to the north, and the King of Qi Tang destroyed the Song state in order to unify the world, angering all the princely states under the heavens, and causing the first fall of the State of Qi.
From here, we can fully see the determination of the State of Qi to unify the world, but there are many problems in the unification of the world by the State of Qi at this time.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > the State of Qi ignored the balance needed by the princely states of this period</h1>
Both King Qi Tang and his father, King Xuan of Qi, ignored the situation in the world at that time, during this period, there were two great powers in the world, the State of Qi and the State of Qin, the State of Qin naturally wanted to weaken the State of Qi, and the princes of the World were also afraid that there was too much power between the State of Qi and the State of Qin. The State of Qi did not experience a change of law, and the monarch also lacked a city government, and although the State of Qin repeatedly expanded its territory at this time, it was very cautious, because it had the strategy of continuous horizontal and long-distance and close attack, while the State of Qi lacked the guidance of the correct national policy, although there were many talents, but there were very few doers. The State of Qi was far behind the State of Qin in terms of diplomacy, coupled with the fact that the State of Qin had long used money to buy off the powerful ministers of the six Eastern Kingdoms, and the State of Qi had repeatedly lost faith in some matters. For example, believing that he was strong, so he swallowed the Yan state alone, causing the princes to interfere, but also because he was strong, treacherous, and swallowed the Song kingdom alone, which directly annoyed the Zhao and Chu states that were ready to divide the land. The key to the fact that the State of Qi did not have faith in diplomacy was that although the State of Qin did not have Faith, it could always use money to solve problems. Coupled with the fact that the State of Qin had the natural barrier of Hangu Pass, and the State of Qi was completely exposed to the princes, therefore, the State of Qi did not have the shrewdness of the State of Qin while it had geographical defects, which was an important reason why the State of Qi failed to unify the world.
Since the State of Qi lacks various conditions, where does the State of Qi come from to dominate the world?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > the power of the State of Qi began with the Duke of Huan</h1>
The Duke of Qi Huan here is not Lü Xiaobai, but Tian Wu. He built the Jixia XueGong, and as a result, by the time of King Qi Wei, the State of Qi had a certain talent base. King Qi Wei did not fly for three years, soared into the sky, did not make a sound for three years, and became a blockbuster, under his powerful anti-corruption reforms, the centralization of power was strengthened, and at the same time, the State of Qi also quickly defeated the hundred-year-old hegemon of the State of Wei by reusing Sun Yuan, and the State of Qi also replaced the State of Wei as the new hegemon.
It also happened that during this period, the Qin state quickly became powerful through the Shang martingale transformation method, and as a result, the world formed a situation of confrontation between the two poles. However, although the State of Qi was strong, it concentrated on repairing its internal affairs during the reign of King Qi Wei, on the contrary, the strength of the State of Qin caused the princes of the Six Kingdoms a great headache, so the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin from time to time, but several times down, the State of Qin, like Israel in the Middle East War, only lost once. It is precisely because of this general environment that the successor monarchs of the State of Qi intend to annex other countries through the attention of the princes to the State of Qin, thus unifying the world.
However, when the State of Qin saw this situation, it found an opportunity to get out of trouble for itself, because the State of Qi gained benefits for itself in the rear by organizing the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin, and only needed to let the attention of the princes focus on the State of Qi, and its own pressure was reduced, which is why the State of Qin wanted to ask the State of Qi to be emperor together. However, the State of Qi is not a complete fool, the State of Qi went to the imperial trumpet, and let the princes target the State of Qin, and the State of Qi was drunk and did not want to drink, but also fell into the tricks of su Qin, a spy of the State of Yan, and the failure of the hegemony of the State of Qi had both its own factors and, more importantly, the factors of the State of Qin and the State of Yan.
