Chang Yu's rebellion was quelled, and Lü Buwei, who had controlled the government for many years, died, and Ying Zheng grasped the power of the empire and began to carry out the great cause of unification.
At that time, Han Fei entered Qin, and he naturally didn't want to be the first to attack Korea, but Li Si and other courtiers insisted on attacking Korea.
There are two reasons for Li Si and others.
Clause.
First, the distance is close.
The Qin state pursued a strategy of distant friendship and close attack, Korea happens to be adjacent to the Qin State, this is a map of the Warring States Period, it can be seen that Korea is just east of the strong Qin, and it is the only way for the Qin State to go east.

Clause.
Second, South Korea is weak.
South Korea's land area is not large, the national strength is weak, if it is the first to attack South Korea, the surrounding powers will not have any reaction, if it attacks Zhao and Chu at the beginning, it will make the big countries unite, and at this time, the big countries raise their arms and shout, South Korea will follow the anti-Qin and form an anti-Qin alliance in order to avoid its own destruction, and it will become an obstacle at that time.
And why is South Korea so weak?
Korea is not a vassal state divided in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but a country established after the division of the three families of Han, Wei and Zhao, the country of the same origin, Wei and Zhao were both great powers during the Warring States Period, and Zhao even became a powerful force to stop Qin in the late Warring States period, and Korea seems to have never been strong?
Here we have to start with the geographical location of South Korea, look at the mapKorea is bordered by Wei to the north and east, Qin to the west, and Chu to the south, all of which are three great powers that cannot be expanded territorially。Not only could it not be expanded, but it became a buffer zone between the great powers. In addition, it is located between strong enemies, and has no power to resist, but has become a fish on the chopping block, which can be slaughtered by others, and in the long run, South Korea's territory is getting smaller and smaller.
During the Warring States Period, there were constant wars between countries, and the monarchs of various countries changed their laws to become stronger.
For example, the State of Wei, which is located in the land of the four wars, heWu Qi was reused, and the training adopted a military pawn system, and soldiers were selected for trainingLi Kui was reused to preside over the reform of the Wei State, the strength of Wei increased, and it became the overlord of the Central Plains.
Another example is the state of ChuKing Chu Mourning appointed Wu Qi to change the lawFor a while, the soldiers were strong and strong, and they began to show their dominance. During the reign of King Xuan of Chu and King Wei of Chu, the territory area increased and the national strength was strong.
There is also the State of Zhao, and when King Wuling of Zhao was king, the State of Zhao was called the kingPerform Hufu cavalry shooting, establishing the first formed cavalry in Chinese history. After the son of King Wuling of Zhao succeeded to the throneReuse Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and others, the domestic strength increased, and many times fought against the Qin state.
And the most successful reform of the law is the Qin State. King Qin Xiao reused Shang martingaleAfter a series of changes, the economy of the Qin State was developed, the combat capability of the army was continuously enhanced, and it became a great power in the Warring States Period. Since then, several generations of kings of the Qin State have insisted on governing the country with Legalist ideology, and finally, they unified the whole country in the hands of Yingzheng.

So many countries have increased their numbers through law changes, so has South Korea implemented law changes? Yes.
During the period of Han Zhaohou, the legalist Shen Bu was appointed to carry out reforms, and Shen Bu Xi made reforms from these aspects, such as centralizing the monarchy, rectifying the rule of officials, purging the army, and attaching importance to land.
First,Strengthen the centralized rule of the monarchy
With the support of Han Zhaohou, he first attacked the three powerful clans of the Xia clan, the Gongli and the Duan clan, who were holding the fiefdom and self-respecting. Resolutely take back its privileges, tear down its castles, clear its treasury of wealth, and fill the treasury. This has not only stabilized South Korea's political situation, but also greatly increased South Korea's strength.

Clause.
2. Rectify the rule of officials.
Shen Buxian is a representative of the Legalists, and he has practiced "art" in governance, rectified the ranks of officials, and strengthened the assessment and supervision of officials.
Clause.
3. Purge the armed forces.
Shin did not harm and took the initiative to ask for orders, appointed himself as a Korean general, incorporated the aristocratic private soldiers into the national army, mixed them with the original national soldiers, and carried out harsh military training, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of South Korea.
Clause.
Fourth, encourage farming.
He strongly advocated that the people open up more wasteland and more food.

It is also a legalist change, and the change of Qin State Shang Yang and South Korea's Shen Buharm is slightly differentShang Ying attaches great importance to the "law" and has formulated laws and regulations, which everyone must abide byShen does not harm attaches importance to "art"., which is demanding from the monarch, the monarch himself has the ability to do the right thing, and the country will be more prosperous, on the contrary, the country will fall into chaos.
However, in any case, Shen Bu's change of law has been very effective. "Historical Records" writes at the back of "The Biography of Lao Tzu Han Feilie":"Therefore, Zheng Zhi's lowly minister. Academics are based on Han Zhaohou, and Zhaohou is used as a phase. Politics and religion on the inside, princes on the outside, fifteen years. In the end, the body of Shenzi, the country is strong and the army is strong, and there is no one who invades Korea".
After King Han Zhao, Korea quickly weakened until 230 BC, when King Han was taken captive by the Qin army and Korea was destroyed.
