The popular TV series "Great Qin Fu" finally came to an end, the Chu State, the State of Qi, and the State of Yan were destroyed one after another, and the State of Qin completed the first real unification in Chinese history, however, after reunification, in just 15 years, the Qin Empire fell apart, and the resurrected princes invaded Xianyang under the leadership of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and the descendants of the Winning clan fled in all directions, and the foundation of the Seventh Yu Lie was destroyed in a blink of an eye.
Then some people must want to ask here, the Qin Empire has perished, where have all the brave and good-fighting Qin troops gone? In the previous article on the Battle of Julu, it was said that the Qin border army drawn back from the border was completely defeated by Xiang Yu and the princes' army in the Great Decisive Battle of Julu, and Wang Li and his remnants were killed and surrendered by Xiang Yu's army in Xin'an, and Zhang Handan's 200,000 troops should be intact and become the main force of the Three Qin Kings after that, until Liu Bang rushed out of Shu and entered Guanzhong to destroy the Three Qins (Xiang Yu Sanfen Guanzhong, the three generals of Qin: Zhang Handan was the King of Yong, all abandoned Qiu; Sima Xin was the King of Sai, Du Liyang; Dong Feng was the King of Zhai, du Gaonu. ）
The process of attacking and destroying the Three Qins was relatively smooth" In August, the King of Han used Han Xin's strategy to return from the old road and attack the Yong King Zhang Handan. Handan attacked Han Chencang, the Yong army was defeated, and left; the battle was stopped, and then it was defeated again, and the hill was abandoned. The King of Han settled yongdi... In the second year, the King of Han was slightly in the east, and Wang Xin of Sai, Wang Feng of Zhai, and Shenyang, the king of Henan, all surrendered. It can be seen that in addition to Zhang Handan, Sima Xin, the king of Sai, Dong Feng, the king of Zhai, and Shenyang, the king of Henan (who was a general of the State of Chu), did not resist and directly surrendered to Liu Bang, from which it can be roughly estimated that most of the previous 200,000 troops and other old Qin troops were annexed by Liu Bang, who had already annexed the old lands of the Qin state, and became an important part of the later Han army.
A large number of old Qin soldiers joined the Han army, which can also be seen from other records, such as "Chu rode to the crowd, the King of Han was a knight in the army, and all of them pushed the late Qin knights Li Bi and Luo Jia to learn cavalry, and now they are lieutenants and can be cavalry generals." The king of Han wanted to worship him, and he said: "The subjects of the Qin people, the fear of the army do not believe in the subjects, the subjects have the great king left and right good rider Fu Zhi." "Although there were few infants, but several forces fought, naibai doubao as the middle doctor, so Li Bi and Luo Jia were made the left and right lieutenants, and the Langzhong cavalry was attacked and ridden in the east of Xingyang, and it was greatly broken." The Old Qin Army once again struck hard and defeated Xiang Yu's Western Chu cavalry in the east of Xingyang.
After the defeat of Pengcheng, Xiao He also organized a large number of reserve soldiers in Guanzhong "to Xingyang, all the defeated armies will meet, Xiao He also sent the old and weak in Guanzhong to Learn about Xingyang, fu Dazhen." Chu originated from Pengcheng, often took advantage of the victory to chase north, and fought with the Han Dynasty in Xingyang Nanjing and Suojian, and the Han defeated Chu, so Chu could not cross xingyang to the west. There are similar records in the "History of Xiang Yu Benji" and "History of Gao Zu Benji": "When Wang Bu of Jiujiang fought with the dragon and was invincible, he returned to Han with he. The King of Han took in a little soldier, and with the generals and Guanzhong pawns, he was able to use the soldiers to zhenxing Xingyang and break chujing and Suojian. ”
After the Guangwujian time, Liu Bang "entered the pass in the west, went to Liyang, asked his father and elders, put wine, and took the old King Xintou Liyang City." Stay for four days, restore the army, the army is widely armed. Guanzhong soldiers out. The Qin people seemed to have become the most important source of soldiers for Liu Banghan's army.
In the final battle against Xiang Yu, "(The Han army) Wang Feng took his head, and the rest of the horses trampled on the king of Xiang Xiang, killing dozens of people." Finally, Langzhong rode Yang Xi, Sima Lü Matong, and Langzhong Lü Sheng and Yang Wu each got one. "These five people have all served in the old Qin army. After Liu Bang claimed that after the emperor in the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, he issued the "Strike Soldiers and Rewarding The Edict" to give Tian Tian according to the military merit system, and at the same time restored the "Former Lord Tian Residence" and gave knighthoods to soldiers and soldiers who did not receive military merits, and exempted the military merit nobles above the seventh master, it is obvious that the titles mentioned here belong to the military merits of the Qin system, that is to say, liu Bang has occupied the old territory of the original Qin state since the destruction of the Three Qins, and has integrated his original military organization with the military system of Qin.
After the demise of Xiang Yu, Liu Bang became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, although before the destruction of Qin, Liu Bang was a person with great regional color, and his regime was also very rich in Chu culture, but after the destruction of Xiang Yu, this regime with great Chu cultural color has been perfectly integrated with the military and law of Qin, and the laws, armies, and systems of the old Qin State have become part of the newly established Han Dynasty.
After a decade-long war of unification and a three-year scuffle after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the army of the Qin Empire was once again incorporated into a glorious, unified dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty.
Of course, the fish that slipped through the net is not nothing, Qin Shi Huang sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to conquer Yue land, after the end of the war a large number of Qin troops remained in the local area, after the beginning of the great chaos at the end of Qin, the then Longchuan County ordered Zhao Tuo to attack and kill the officials of the Qin Dynasty, closed Hengpu, Yangshan, Huangxiangguan and other places, established himself as the King of Nanyue Wu, soon became emperor, established the State of Nanyue, this regime lasted for 93 years, until the han Wu Emperor Liu Che Yuanding six years (111 BC) was destroyed by the Western Han regime.
