In 230 BC (the seventeenth year of the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin), the Qin general Nei Shi Teng accepted the orders of the Qin king Yingzheng and launched a general attack on Korea, attacking Xinzheng, and the last Han Wang An surrendered, which lasted for more than 170 years, and thus declared its demise, and was also the first vassal state to be destroyed by the army of Qin Shi Huang. What kind of country is South Korea?
The mighty Qin army.
People who have a cursory understanding of the history of the Warring States of the Eastern Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period know that the founders of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei were actually the qing masters of the Jin state, and the power of the jin monarchs declined, and the powerful Qing dafu began to attack and annex each other like the princely states of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. In 403 BC, that is, in the sixth year of Han Qian, the three families of Han Zhao and Wei were recognized by Zhou Tianzi and formally established princely states, and the history of Korea began.
Han Nanyang pretended to guard Teng against Han Guiqin.
Looking at the entire Warring States, compared with the vast and powerful countries such as the State of Qi, the State of Chu, and the State of Qin, South Korea has always been a weak country, and there is no commendable record, even the State of Yan has almost destroyed the State of Qi, and has continuously conquered more than 70 cities and pools of the State of Qi, while the record of the destruction of the Republic of Korea is only a very weak State of Zheng.

Let's first make a statistic, that is, all the Korean place names that appear in the history of the Han family can have a general understanding of the specific territory of Korea and the changes in the territory.
Zheng Zhuanggong, the ruler of the State of Zheng in the Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
(Han Huanhui King Ten Years, 260 BC) I Shangdang County Shou Shangdang County Surrender Zhao "This is very familiar to everyone, the fuse of the Battle of Changping, South Korea's Shangdang County Shou Feng Ting refused to hand over Shangdang County to the Qin State, leading the military and civilians of Shangdang County to surrender to the Zhao State, which led to the Qin Zhao War, resulting in 400,000 Zhao troops being wiped out by the Qin army. Today's Shangdang region, in the southeast of present-day Shanxi Province, is a plateau surrounded by mountains. To its east and southeast were the Taihang Mountains, which were bordered by today's Hebei and Henan provinces; in the southwest were Wangwu and Zhongtiao Ershan, which were bordered by present-day Henan Province; to the west were the Taiyue Mountains; to the north were Wuyun Mountain, Bafuling and other mountains.
After the fall of King You of Zhou, the State of Zheng gradually arose.
The State of Qin attacked Korea.
"(Han Jinghou) Ninth year (400 BC), Zheng Wei I Yang Zhai." Yang Zhai was the capital of today's Yu Prefecture in Henan Province, and was also the old capital of the Xia Dynasty. "(Han) Wenhou 2nd year (385 BC), Fa Zheng, take Yangcheng." Yangcheng was also the old capital of the Xia Dynasty, in present-day Dengfeng County, Henan Province. "(Marquis Zhaohou of Han) In the second year (361 BC), the Song took me Huangchi. Wei took the stone. In the sixth year (357 BC), the Eastern Zhou Dynasty took the Lingguan and Xingqiu "Yellow Ponds", also known as the Yellow Pavilion. Twenty-two miles southwest of present-day Fengqiu County, Henan, the surname of Zhuangbei was not found; 硃, which has not been found for the time being; Lingguan was not found; Xingqiu was probably captured by the State of Wei soon in the area of present-day Wen County, Henan.
The Qin army attacked the city in a big way.
"(King Xiang of Han) For five years, Qin plucked me from Yiyang and beheaded sixty thousand. King Wu of Qin. For six years, Qin Fu and I wu Sui. In the ninth year, Qin Fu took me Wu Sui. Ten years later, the prince and baby returned to Qin. Eleven years, Qin cut me down, taking the rang. "Yiyang, west of present-day Yiyang County, Henan Province; Wusui, southeast of present-day Yuanqu, Shanxi; rang in present-day Dengzhou, Henan." (Han 釐王, li, the traditional character for 釐), five years, Qin Ba I Wan. Six years, with Qin Wu sui land two hundred miles. "Wan, Wancheng, in the area of nanyang in present-day Henan." That is to say, the territory of Korea is probably in the western part of today's Henan Province and the southeast of Shanxi Province, this territory is a cursory visual survey, it is certainly not small, and unlike the Qin and Chu states, Korea is located in the Central Plains, although the territory is very small relative to qin and Chu, but its population density and agriculture and handicrafts are also very developed.

As the Warring States Policy said, "the world's powerful crossbows are from Korea" South Korea is famous for producing powerful bows and crossbows, and in Yiyang, South Korea, has the largest iron mine in the world at that time, South Korea occupies this huge iron mine, which can produce more elite weapons, in the Warring States period, iron weapons have been used in combat, whether it is the tomb of the Chu State, or the iron sword unearthed from the tomb of the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, indicating that the iron armor weapon has been widely used at that time, In the excavation of the ruins of Zheng Han's ancient city in 2006, more than a dozen corpses of Han soldiers who were slashed and killed by the Qin army in the Battle of Qin and Han were found, along with the bones, copper hammers and two pieces of rusty iron armor fragments were unearthed, which shows that the Han army at that time still used iron armor after losing the Yiyang Mine, and the armor style of the pottery figurines unearthed in the Terracotta Warrior Pit of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum was obviously leather armor.

The Battle to Destroy Korea.
It has a fairly strong handicraft strength, as well as the distribution of population resources and advanced technology, but from the above records, it can be seen that in the more than 170 years since the founding of the Country, the number of military defeats and losses is still very large, not only in the face of the Qin State, even if the Song is such a small state can still cut a piece of meat on the body of South Korea, it can also be seen that at least in the Warring States era, advanced technology can not make up for the gap in system and national strength, which is why South Korea has mastered a relatively powerful military technology. However, it was still impossible to stop the reason for the expansion of the Qin state.
The mighty Qin army.
Moreover, Korea is located in the Central Plains, bordering the State of Qin, if the State of Qin wants to go east, Korea is an enemy that must be dealt with, which is why Korea has been repeatedly attacked by the State of Qin, and the territory has been continuously encroached upon by the State of Qin, until the sixteenth year of the reign of king Yingzheng of Qin (229 BC), the South Korean Nanyang Daijun Shouteng (one said to be the Nei Shi Teng who later destroyed Korea) surrendered to the Qin State, and the next year the King of Qin sent the Qin general Nei Shi Teng to attack the Korean capital Xinzheng, and the last Korean monarch Han An surrendered to the Qin army. The demise of South Korea, which lasted for more than 170 years, was not only the demise of the regime itself for more than 170 years, but also the beginning of the complete collapse of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
In the Great Qin Fu, the last Han Wang An surrendered to the Qin state.
Although South Korea has mastered relatively advanced technology, but on the whole, its national strength is weak, after the failure of the Shen Non-Harmful Transformation Law, it has no possibility of hegemony, if the Qin State wants to go east, South Korea is the first to bear the brunt, if the Six Kingdoms of Shandong want to resist Qin, the other five countries will inevitably assist South Korea, and the Qin State has adopted Fan Sui's policy of long-distance and close-range attack, drawing the far-flung State of Yan and the State of Qi towards the State of Chu, the State of Zhao, the State of Korea, and the State of Wei, which border the State of Qin, and the State of Chu, the State of Zhao, and the State of Wei, which are strong in strength, and can naturally resist for a while in the face of the attack of the powerful Qin army. The State of Wei has declined since the middle of the Warring States period, but after all, it was once a powerful country, only South Korea had to survive between the cracks of the great powers, however, with the increasing expansion of the power of the Qin State, the destruction of the Six Kingdoms and the unification of China has become the general trend, and the other five countries are fighting each other and are not bent on resisting the Qin, and the only thing Korea can do is to survive.
