There was no faint monarch in the 6th Qin State, and the road to unification was long
In the torrent of history, the Qin State stood in the forest of the Warring States with its unique attitude. From Qin Xiaogong to Qin Shi Huang, the battle for hegemony between the six countries lasted for hundreds of years, and Qin, the dark horse, was able to stand out among them and finally complete the great cause of unification. However, what is puzzling is that in these six lifetimes, the Qin State has never had a mediocre lord, why is the road to unification so long, taking a full 163 years?
The story begins with Qin Xiaogong. This monarch has an ambitious heart, and he knows that Qin is located in the western border, lacks resources, and if he does not reform and strive to become strong, he will eventually be drowned in the wave of princes competing for hegemony. So, he made up his mind to reuse Shang Ying and began a vigorous change. Shang Ying's changes greatly increased the national strength of the Qin State, and the combat effectiveness of the army was also significantly improved. However, this is just the beginning.
The next monarchs such as King Huiwen of Qin and King Wu of Qin inherited the legacy of Duke Xiaogong of Qin and continued to promote the reform and development of the country. They paid attention to agricultural production, built water conservancy, and developed the economy, and at the same time strengthened military construction to build an invincible army. However, these efforts did not allow the Qin state to rise rapidly in a short period of time, as the balance of power between the vassal states was still complicated, and the enemies that the Qin needed to face remained strong.
In the process of unification, the Qin state constantly competed with the powerful states such as the Qi and Chu states. Every war is full of blood and cruelty, and every victory is hard-won. The soldiers of the Qin State fought bloody battles and paid great sacrifices. However, the devastation and losses caused by the war also required the Qin state to recover and rebuild for a long time. This cyclical process makes the road to reunification even longer.
In addition to external challenges and difficulties, the Qin state also faced internal problems and contradictions in the process of unification. With the continuous expansion and development of the country, the contradictions between various interest groups have gradually intensified. The contradictions between the aristocratic clique, the landlord class and the peasant class became increasingly acute. These problems required constant adjustments and reforms by the Qin monarchs and officials to maintain the stability and development of the country.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was an outstanding monarch in the history of the Qin state. He was well aware of the importance of internal contradictions for national unity, so he adopted a series of measures to alleviate internal contradictions and strengthen the centralization of power. He abolished the feudal system and implemented the county system; he strengthened the building of the legal system and severely punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials; and he paid attention to culture and education and advocated Confucianism. The implementation of these measures effectively alleviated internal contradictions, strengthened the cohesion of the state, and laid the foundation for the unification of the Qin state.
However, even with these efforts, the road to the unification of the Qin state was still full of twists and turns. In these long 163 years, the Qin State has experienced countless wars and expansions, and every victory is hard-won, and every defeat has cost the Qin State a heavy price. But it was these difficulties and twists and turns that made the Qin State more tenacious and united, and also made the great cause of reunification more indestructible.
When we look back on this period of history, we can't help but ask: Why was the Qin State able to accomplish the great cause of unification without a faint monarch in the sixth dynasty, and what kind of wisdom and power was contained in this?
First of all, the Qin State had firm faith and determination. They are well aware that reunification is an inevitable trend of history and an inevitable result of national development. Therefore, they are determined to advance the process of reunification at all costs.
Second, the Qin State focused on internal reform and development. They have strengthened the centralization of power by abolishing the feudal system and implementing the county system; they have rectified the administration of officials by strengthening the building of the legal system and severely punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials; and have improved the quality of the people by attaching importance to culture and education and advocating Confucianism. These reforms laid a solid foundation for the unification of the Qin state.
In the end, the Qin state had a strong army and excellent generals. Through continuous warfare and expansion, they have trained an invincible army and trained a number of excellent generals. These generals fought bravely and skillfully in the war, and made great achievements for the victory of the Qin State.
To sum up, it was not an accident that the Qin State was able to complete the great cause of unification without a faint monarch in the sixth dynasty, but was the result of a combination of factors. This history tells us that only firm conviction, constant reform and development, and a strong army can make us invincible in the torrent of history.
So back to our question: in modern society, do we also need to have firm beliefs, continuous reform and development, and a strong team in order to achieve great achievements in our own fields? This is a question worthy of our deep consideration and a topic worthy of our discussion.
