In ancient China, the Qin Dynasty was a country with an important historical position. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he adopted a series of strict measures in order to consolidate his political power and maintain the security and stability of the country.
During the Warring States period, in order to compete for hegemony, countries often sent assassins to assassinate the leaders or ministers of rival countries. Such assassinations posed a great threat to the stability of the country, and the Qin Dynasty adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards the Assassins. During his reign, Qin Shi Huang dealt a severe blow to the assassins who sought to subvert state power.
He ordered his subordinates to closely monitor the political dynamics in the country, and if they found any suspicious elements attempting to assassinate the emperor or undermine the stability of the country, they immediately took measures to suppress them. In this way, the Assassins had almost nowhere to hide in the Qin Dynasty.
A beacon tower is a kind of equipment used for military alarm in ancient times, usually built on high mountains or high ground. When there is an enemy situation on the border, the soldiers guarding the border will light the firewood and grass on the beacon and transmit the alarm to their distant companions through the smoke. The Qin Dynasty established a large number of beacon towers throughout the country, forming a tight early warning network.
This allows the central government to quickly learn about the hostile situation across the country and respond accordingly. The beacon system enabled the Qin Dynasty to have a strong early warning and response capability in terms of national security, and effectively maintained the stability and security of the country.
