Qin Shi Huang was the first monarch to be called emperor in the history of our country.
Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history. It had an incomparably far-reaching impact on later Chinese history.
So, why was Qin Shi Huang able to unify the six kingdoms and accomplish this unprecedented feat?
First of all, before Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, the Qin State had annexed Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong, and the Qin State already had a large plate, which was the basis for the later Qin Dynasty to unify the world.
The Qin Dynasty was preceded by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the territory of the Central Plains at that time could be described as fragmented. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were more than 100 vassal states, and after continuous annexation, in the early years of the Warring States period, there were about a dozen countries. The great countries are Qin, Wei, Han, Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu, which are what we later called the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".
What is an annex? It is to keep fighting, you kill my soldiers, and I swallow your land. During the entire Warring States period, there were constant wars, sending troops, and grabbing territory, and it can be said that the people were not able to make a living. The people of that time, more than any other monarch, must have hoped that the war would stop, or that the country would be unified.
Years of war and turmoil, the people longed for peace, which was the ideological reason why Qin Shi Empress was able to unify the world.
When it comes to the topic of Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms, there is another thing that we will definitely think of, that is, the well-known Shang Dynasty reform. The central idea of the Shang Dynasty reform is: heavy punishment, suppression of business, weak people and ban on travel, and the incident of "tongue war and group Confucianism" has been passed down to this day.
The matter of Shang Ying's change of law also proves from another aspect that in fact, Qin Xiaogong Yingqu is also a very good monarch with great ambitions. He reused Shang Yang and was not afraid of the pressure exerted by the old aristocracy. And we all know that Shang Ying is actually a patriot, then to Wei, and finally to Qin, if it weren't for Qin Xiaogong's discernment, no matter how powerful the strategist is, he will only be buried.
After this Shang Dynasty reform, the old system of Qin was completely abolished, and the economy was well developed, making Qin the most powerful country among the Seven Heroes step by step. This change is to determine the idea of the rule of law, with the rule of law of the country, the parents run the country very richly, strong soldiers and horses, can give Ying Zheng space to show his strength, it can be said that the Qin State has laid a solid foundation for the unification of the world.
The Shang Dynasty reform provided the Qin State with institutional superiority and the improvement of national strength.
The reason why Qin Shi Huang was able to unify the six countries was actually on the basis of his predecessors. Before him, several monarchs of the Qin State could be called very virtuous, which gave the Qin State a relatively long time of development.
As for how Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng made friends with each other and attacked closely, we will not care about the four sides for the time being. The most important thing is that you can fight this country, and you have to be able to defend this country. Every monarch will fight a war, and the dynasties before the Qin Dynasty have not achieved real unity, why is it different here when it comes to Yingzheng?
The most important thing in this is his management strategy.
After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng listened to the suggestion of Prime Minister Li Si, canceled the sub-feudal system handed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty, implemented a single county system in state management, abolished the princes, established counties, and divided the world into 36 counties. This is something that Qin Shi Huang and his family have been very similar for generations. They are all used to accept fresh regulations and exclude old decrees, so that they can better rule and manage their own country!
In our current words, it is unified management and hierarchical jurisdiction. But the country is my family's, I don't set up any fiefdom, and I won't give the country to others! In addition, there is a unified currency, as well as writing, etc., since it is a unified management, a unified country, it is inevitable to achieve great unification.
The fact that Qin was able to unify the six countries was definitely not won by Qin Shi Huang only by his own day, but the heroism of the monarchs of Qin also laid a solid foundation for him. What is reunification, this is not simply a fight or reunification. If Yingzheng continues to divide fiefs and establish princes like previous dynasties, it can only be said that he has laid down the country. True unification is not only the gathering of land and people, but also the unity of civilization and culture.
