The unification of the six kingdoms by Qin was the trend of the times, but one person succeeded in slowing down the process
I say. The general trend of the world is that it must be united for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time, which is the biggest feature of historical development. During the Warring States Period, the princes divided and ruled the world, and the Qin State ruled the world and established the first feudal empire in history, the Qin Dynasty, which is the best example.
If it is said that Qin's unification of the six countries is the trend of the times, then there is one person who has successfully delayed the process of Qin's unification of the six countries and revitalized the six countries. Su Qin, who studied under Guiguzi, was an outstanding diplomat, strategist and tactician in the early Warring States period. When he left the army, he wanted to make a big career in the Qin State, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill his wishes.
Su Qin felt that he understood the situation of the belligerent countries before it was too hot, studied it privately, thought about it behind closed doors, and three years later, Su Qin came out of the mountain and proposed the Six-Nation Alliance, which immediately caused an uproar, not so much the Six-Nation Alliance, but the Su Qin Advocate Lobbying, not so much the general trend of the world, but the fact that at this time the Qin State was so strong that the Six Nations were afraid of being destroyed by the Qin State, and the Six Nations had to form an alliance to destroy Qin.
The arrogant Su Qin was stamped with the seal of the prime minister of the six countries, and after the success, the six countries and the coalition decided to kill the Qin state in one fell swoop, and the result was very unexpected by Su Qin, with a 500,000 army of 200 in the six countries. The 000 Qin army was defeated, which was just a flash in the pan for Su Qin, and there was no future, after the defeat, Su Qin thought about it for the rest of his life, because Su Qin saw that the six countries and the coalition army did not accept his original intention to raise troops.
The main purpose of the alliance between the six countries of Su and Qin is not really to fight with Qin or destroy Qin, but to buy time for the second round of law changes for the six countries, so that the six countries can fight against the strong countries, and then go to fight the Qin State.
Su Qin looked at the corpses of the soldiers of the six countries on the battlefield and was really helpless, at this moment, Yan Jiangzizhi persuaded him, until Su Qin formed an alliance with him and reversed the situation in Yan State, Yan Guo made a second round of changes, so Yan Country was strong, Yan King Su Qin had the grace of knowing it, Su Qin thought about it, and accepted the result of ridiculing Su Qin again.
Using Su Qin, the Zi clan dominated the military and political power of the Yan State, but the Zi clan really didn't want to change the law, just wanted to sit on the throne of the Yan King, Su Qin was gradually overturned by the Zi clan in the Yan Kingdom, although he was still the prime minister in name, but he had no real power, and even the life of the son of the Yan King was strictly controlled, so Su Qin was able to break away from the Yan State.
Su Qin fled from Yan to Qi, and with the help of Meng Weijun, he became Qi Xiang again. At this time, the king of Qi was also the wisest of the six kings, so he decided to let Su Qin and Meng Weijun carry out the second round of reforms in the Qi country to strengthen the power of the Qi country, which would inevitably affect the interests of the old nobles, but Su Qin did not hesitate, still led the army, and seized the arable land and wealth of the great nobles at a speed, instantly creating a new situation in the Qi country. A new situation in the country of Qi appeared in an instant.
Just when the reform of the Qi State was going smoothly, another change occurred, Su Qin was killed by the old aristocratic forces of the Qin State, after the death of Su Qin, the King of Qi did not give up the change, under the initiative of Meng Weijun, the change of the State of Qi gained unprecedented vitality, even if Su Qin died, at this time, the State of Qi and Zhao have begun the second round of changes, coupled with Zi Zhiyan's new policy, by the time of Su Qin's death, half of the countries of the six countries of the Warring States have realized that the change can strengthen the country. By the time of Su Qin's death, half of the six belligerents had realized that only by changing the law could they become strong.
The strength of Su Qin briefly ended the hegemony of Qin and indirectly shortened the distance between the Warring States situation and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi, and Zhao. It is estimated that if there was no Su Qin, the credit for the unification of the world by Qin would not have been the turn of King Wen of Qin, but King Wen Ji of Qin Zhao would have ended the Warring States Period, but history cannot be assumed!
