Meng Tian: Born in a military family, he has outstanding military talents. His ancestors were not from Qin, but from Qi. It was only during the period of his grandfather that he defected to the Qin State and became a general.
When his father Meng Wu was born, he was already a loyal retainer of the Qin royal family. Meng Tian learned martial arts since childhood, inherited his family's military tradition, and became an outstanding general. His talent was appreciated by Qin Wangzheng, and a new chapter in his life was opened.
In 246 BC, the Qin dynasty ascended the throne. At this time, the national strength of the Qin State was getting stronger, the six countries were weak, and the hegemony of dominating the world was just around the corner. King Qin was wise and wise, he not only reused generals from aristocratic families such as Duan Zhi and Wang Qian, but also valued generals like Meng Tian.
He selects talents in an eclectic manner, and he values talents, which makes Meng Tian grow from an ordinary soldier to a loyal and important general of the Qin Dynasty, and has made great achievements for Qin Wangzheng on the battlefield.
If a country wants to prosper, it cannot do without such loyal people. And Meng Tian is undoubtedly the pillar of the Qin Dynasty.
Meng Tian was born in an ordinary military family, his father and brother both served the Qin State, and it can be said that he came from a humble background. However, Qin Wangzheng had a unique eye and discovered the talent and determination in this young man's heart.
Perhaps he was attracted by Meng Tian's perseverance and unyielding character, or perhaps because he grew up in a military camp and knew the war well. In short, Qin Wangzheng broke through the routine and promoted a grassroots Meng Tian, making him quickly promoted to an important general.
This kind of unique insight and good sense of responsibility made Meng Tian grateful to Qin Wangzheng. From a small soldier to a general, Meng Tian knew that all this was the grace of Qin Wangzheng's knowledge.
He repaid this kindness with his life, and he was extremely loyal.
The deep friendship between Qin Wangzheng and Meng Tian began to be established when they were teenagers, and they fought together in the north and south, making great contributions to the unification of the six countries. In the battle for Shangjun, Meng Tian led the Qin army to defeat the Wei army and successfully defended the important town of Shangjun.
Later, he was ordered to attack Jibei and expand the territory of Qin to the east. Meng Tian even captured Jimo, the capital of Lu State, which greatly reduced his national strength. Two years later, Meng Tian led his army to defeat Zhao and captured more than 40 cities in Zhao, demonstrating his outstanding military talent.
In Qin Shi Huang's war to unify the six countries, Meng Tian's contribution was indelible. In 221 BC, the Qin State ruled the world, and Meng Tian also retired as a result, becoming the supreme administrator of the capital - Neishi.
Over the years, Meng Tian followed Qin Shi Huang to fight in the north and south, conquered the Yan State, occupied the Chu land, and conquered countless cities. Especially in the battles of Gui and Luo, he strategized and defeated the foreign army, laying a solid foundation for the final victory of the Qin army.
If he hadn't been fighting day and night to oversee the army, it might have been difficult for the Qin State to achieve the unification of the world.
This general, named Meng Tian, has far more outstanding talent than ordinary strategists, he can not only command the army excellently, but also can unite the army very well, winning the respect of his subordinates and the love of the soldiers.
His commanding ability is unmatched, making the Qin army like a tiger with wings, whether in terms of military merits or military commandery, he is one of the important contributors of Qin Shi Huang's ability to unify the six countries, and can be called one of the most outstanding generals of the Qin Dynasty.
After the death of Qin Shi Huang, a coup d'état changed Meng Tian's fate. In the 39th year of Qin Shi Huang, he contracted an illness during the parade and finally died in the sand dunes. Originally, the designated heir to the throne was the crown prince Fusu, but he happened to be not by the emperor's side.
Hu Hai and others took the opportunity to tamper with the edict, claiming that Qin Shi Huang designated Hu Hai as the successor. This blatant violation of Qin Shi Huang's wishes inevitably provoked a revolt from Fusu and Meng Tian, who had a significant military power.
In order to stabilize the newly established imperial power, Hu Hai and others decided to strike first. They forged a holy decree and framed Meng Tian and Fusu, forcing them to commit suicide. Fusu was innocent and did not hesitate to take the poison after receiving the holy decree.
Meng Tian, on the other hand, firmly believed that the First Emperor would not poison him and refused to obey. The messenger had no choice but to imprison Meng Tian. At this time, Meng Tian learned that his younger brother Meng Yi was also killed by Hu Hai, which was undoubtedly a great blow to him.
Meng Yi is an important ** around Qin Shi Huang, known as upright. He once strictly enforced the law and showed no mercy to Zhao Gao, who was favored by the first emperor, which became a hidden danger of being killed in the future.
The change of the throne of the Qin Dynasty was like a dramatic change. Qin Shi Huang was shrewd and capable throughout his life, intending to make the foundation of the Qin Dynasty perpetuate. He made Fusu the crown prince, and everything was arranged.
However, unexpectedly, during the parade, this scene happened. Hu Hai, who originally had no right to inherit, took this opportunity to successfully ascend to the throne. Hu Hai's mother was just a rich woman, and according to the etiquette law, he had no right to inherit the throne.
But at the moment when Qin Shi Huang died and Fusu was not present, Hu Hai and others took the opportunity to seize the throne.
If important ministers such as Fusu and Meng Tian had been present, or had arrived in time, Qin Shi Huang's will would not have been tampered with, and Hu Hai's cruel methods would not have been implemented. However, at this critical moment, Hu Hai succeeded.
As a result, Meng Tian and Fusu became an obstacle to Hu Hai's seizure of power. One of them was on the frontier and the other was on a parade, and they had no intention of rebellion, but they were innocently convicted of rebellion because they were loyal to the last wishes of the First Emperor.
At this moment, Meng Tian may have a lot of thoughts in his heart. He was a loyal general of the Qin Dynasty, and his entire family served the Qin State. He also followed Qin Shi Huang from birth to death for many years, and was loyal to the Qin Dynasty.
However, at this moment, he was forced to go to the end. In his final moments, Meng Tian may still be thinking back to the years when he fought alongside the First Emperor. Although he has achieved fame, he has been empty overnight due to the change of sand dunes, and he can't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
At this moment, he felt grief because of the end of his brother's life and his own life. He was distressed because the decline of the Qin dynasty was worrying. But more than that, he felt relieved.
