Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 171
Without Qin Shihuang, can the world be unified with another person?
It can be said that it is a matter of the public saying that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right. Assuming history, there are thousands of opinions, and there is no right or wrong.

On the Internet, a round of heated discussions was set off at this time.

"I don't think so. Looking at Xiang Yu's method of dividing feudal states and establishing a country, it can be seen that people at that time did not really have a sense of great unity, and they all thought of states."

"I also feel that no one can do better than Shi Huang."

"History has no ifs and no unity. Ah San next door is a classic counterexample."

"The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period replaced Ying Zheng. Everyone is about the same. It is estimated that they will continue to split."

"Without this stalwart man, perhaps the war would continue, and in the end, the division would be the theme."

"If Qin Shihuang did not unify China, the other monarchs of the same era obviously did not have the ability to unify, and the situation in the Warring States Period will continue. Until the next king who has the ability to unify appears. The longer the interval, the longer the period. The greater the resistance to unification, the greater the backlash received. The longer it takes, the harder it will be to unify."

"It's hard to say, because there is no Emperor Shihuang, I also think the division will continue, and there will be too many variables in the future, such as foreign invasion or something."

"I think there will be unification without Qin Shihuang, because the situation at that time already met the conditions for this unification, not because of Qin Shihuang's artificial intervention. To put it bluntly, this is fate. If you and I were in that position, we would also be unified."

"I'll go, brother, you are really not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue."

"In this day and age, do keyboard warriors dare to stand up to the first emperor?"

"Hahaha, put the big guy in the position of King Qin, I'm afraid you won't survive three episodes, right?"

"If you can survive the opening song, you are already very good."

"Sooner or later. The variable is who will unify. It may be Chu, which has a vast land and abundant resources, or Zhao, which was once evenly matched with Qin, may be Yan, which developed the Northeast, or it may be the Xiongnu who became Huaxia."

"Without Qin Shihuang or the Qin State, there must be another country with one king to unify the world. I remember Qin Shihuang's classic line in the movie "Ode to Qin": The six countries must be destroyed, either me or you."

Regarding the point of view of "there is no Qin Shihuang", most of the outlets on the Internet believe that changing individuals will definitely not be able to achieve Qin Shihuang's achievements.

After all, this is the one emperor through the ages.

Not everyone can sit.

In the view of host Lin Feng.

It is not uncommon in history that a good hand of cards ends up poorly. Although the successive monarchs of the Qin Kingdom laid a solid foundation for unifying the world, without Qin Shihuang's personal efforts and talents, he would have lost everything.

Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne at the age of 13. In the early stage, he was learning how to govern the country. At the age of 22, he took charge of the government.

It took ten years to destroy South Korea, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi successively.

After destroying the six kingdoms, they attacked the Xiongnu, pacified Baiyue, and established a unified Chinese multi-ethnic empire.

Qin Shihuang stood on the shoulders of the Qin emperors of all dynasties, relied on Qin's political and geographical advantages, and used his own ambition, courage, and talent to play a good hand to the extreme, sweeping the six countries with such a force, and unifying the world.

Don't think that without Qin Shihuang, another person, or yourself, can unify the world. In history, a good hand has been played much more poorly.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chen Youliang, Li Zicheng, Yuan Shikai, Chiang Kai-shek, didn't they all have good cards, and in the end they played poorly. They had the potential to unify the world, but they didn't have the talent to unify the world. , or Dead Island.

Therefore, if there is no Qin Shihuang, the land of Kyushu may not have the concept of "unification"!
……

In the lens.

Farewell to Qin Shihuang.

This ancient and modern dialogue continues.

Facing the third overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lin Feng asked, "Jun Qin, I have a question, and I hope to answer it."

Qin Mugong nodded and said, "Speak!"

Lin Feng said, "Historical records show that there were twenty monarchs in the Qin Kingdom, who were almost wise from generation to generation, while the monarchs of other vassal states were mostly stupid. The juniors are confused. Does the Qin Kingdom have a mysterious procedure for selecting a monarch? ? Or is it only the wise and powerful warriors who can take the position?"

records in history books.

During the Warring States period, the monarchs of the other six countries produced many incompetent monarchs who did nothing.

Only Qin State.

It gives people the impression that every high-ranking king of Qin has been smart and wise from generation to generation.

Qin Mugong was obviously taken aback, and asked back, "In the eyes of future generations, is every generation of Qin Jun a generation of all-round talents in civil and military affairs?"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "The history books this junior has read should be like this."

"wrong."

"How can it be possible that the inherited monarchs are all wise people."

"There are far more stupid people than wise people."

Qin Mugong dared to say, and he didn't think that the ancestors before him, the leaders of the Qin people, were mostly princes with great talents and strategies.

According to him.

In the battle between Yan and Ying, Chu State lost its capital, but the next year, the Chu army counterattacked and defeated the Qin army.

In the battle of Min, Pang Xuan penetrated Shangdang, Hedong, and Hexi in one go, and pushed it to the side of Xianyang, but the Qin State was still alive and kicking the next year.

In the life-and-death battle world, no one will not make mistakes, and the ultimate winner survives by making mistakes.

"Sir, it's not that Qin Jun didn't make mistakes, but that the Six Kingdoms made many mistakes, and they were fatal!" Qin Shihuang continued.

For his ancestors, no one is more convincing than Qin Shihuang.

Subsequently.

Qin Shihuang began to reveal the shortcomings one by one, exporting various ancient secrets that made the audience dumbfounded.

King Wu of Qin: Yingdang, born with supernatural powers, likes to wrestle with others. In 307 BC, when he toured Luoyi, the capital of Zhou, he competed with others to hold a tripod. As a result, his eyes bleed and his ribs were broken. He bled too much that night And died of blood, reigned for only three years, can he be regarded as a good monarch?

Duke Huai of Qin: The old aristocrats manipulated the state affairs and were forced to commit suicide by the alliance of the aristocracy.

Qin Linggong: He was only five years old when he died.

Qin Chugong: He was established at the age of 1, and was killed after 2 years.

King Qin Huiwen: Killing Shang Yang and killing the heroes almost chilled the hearts of the world's sages and almost caused a heinous mistake.

King Qin Zhaoxiang: That is the son of Miyue, who has Fan Sui under his hand, and Wu has Baiqi. The power of the whole country launched the Battle of Changping, but it exhausted Qin's national power, and because of jealousy, he killed Lord Wu An. It weakened Qin's military strength, and it took many years to recover.

King Qin Xiaowen: He liked to have fun by nature, but he passed away after only 3 days in office. Is he a heroic and wise king?

King Qin Zhuangxiang: Yingzheng's father has made many achievements, but he did not destroy any of the vassal states. Probably the only thing that people remember is that King Qin Zhuangxiang completely wiped out the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Ashes.

……

Anyone can hear it.

The implication of Qin Shihuang's words is that half of the Qin kings in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States were Ming emperors, which is already invincible.

The so-called ancestor Fen VI was not as vigorous as recorded in the history books, nor did he have a generation of Mingjun. The reason why he was able to unify was that his Yingzheng was different.

Why are other princes kings?

He is the emperor?
Just because of his name, he is the arrogant Ying Zheng.

just.

Regarding what Qin Shihuang said.

In the history books, there are obviously very few records. Could it be that someone deliberately erased them?
Qin Shihuang grinned and said, "Sir, as you once said, history books are written by the victors, so if there are some bad ones, I will naturally erase them."

Ok!

It's no wonder that the monarchs of the Qin Kingdom in all dynasties have given people the image of striving for governance. It turns out that they all rose up because of you.

"This is the real history!"

"Who says it's not? For example, in the Jin Kingdom, not long after Jin Wengong became the hegemony, there were more than a few stupid kings in a row, and finally the three families were divided into Jin."

"The state of Qi is similar. In history, apart from Duke Huan of Qi, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, the others are weak."

"Chu and Zhao, when they were strong and prosperous, there were one or two wise kings, let alone the others."

"Wu Yue in the southeast, besides remembering King Fu Chai of Wu and Gou Jian of the State of Yue, do we still remember?"

"The truth is, no matter which dynasty, there are always more stupid people than wise people."

"Everyone makes mistakes, but the state of Qin is located in the west, and there are natural moats and mountains as barriers. Even if they make mistakes, there will be no fatal consequences. Other princes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States were not so lucky."
