? The First Man in the Ages: Counting the Millennium Historical Achievements of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.

The first person in the ages: in 22 BC1year, the unification of China was inevitable. But its completion was purely accidental. Since reunification, the head of state has been more than just a little king. What should I call it? Ministers said, "Tai Huang". He readily accepted the word "emperor", but was not satisfied, and added the word "emperor". Quite simply, my contribution has surpassed that of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times. He was the first emperor, and his descendants were the second emperor, the third emperor ... the eternal emperor. & gt The later emperors of China were embarrassed to change the number from one row to 10,000 rows like him, but only dared to think about their own dream of "eternal life". Although this disappointing son soon lost his home and country and turned Ying Zheng's self-confidence into a joke, emperors of all dynasties still admitted that if we want to unify China, we must have such naive and proud self-confidence. & gt was not born in Qin. In the first month of 259 BC, he was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, so his surname was Zhao Zheng. At this time, his father was a hostage exchanged by Qin to Zhao, and his mother was the daughter of a local wealthy businessman in Zhao. During the Warring States Period, Zhao Zheng's father went abroad, married the local aborigines and gave birth to the second generation of immigrants. & gt But for their motherland, Qin, the hostage is the son of the abandoned king. Only the least favorite son will be thrown abroad as a hostage. As a kidnapped child, what hope do you have for Zheng's future? Compared with the children of other princes and nobles, his childhood was simply bleak. There are no luxuries here, no groups of slaves to serve, and no one has taught him the skills of governing the country since he was a child. Most unfortunately, his great grandfather, King Zhao of Qin, showed no pity for their situation and frequently attacked Zhao. As long as Qin and Zhao are at war, our life will be even sadder. During the long siege of Handan, Zhao was so angry that he wanted to kill his father. So he left his mother and son and fled back to Qin. & gt& gt But from another perspective, Zhao Zheng's childhood was lucky. At that time, Zhao was the most powerful of the six countries, and it was also the most promising to compete with Qin for reunification. Handan, its capital, is naturally a first-class city. Compared with Xianyang in the Western Regions, the material civilization of Handan is not inferior. What's more, since the reform of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao has not only practiced "Hu Fu riding and shooting" in the army, but also been deeply influenced by "Hu Feng" in his life. It is not uncommon to walk in the streets of Handan, wearing national clothes, riding national horses and selling national goods. & gt Zhao Zheng, who grew up in this city, saw a colorful world. At least, he knew something about the life of the Central Plains, the northern minorities and the people since he was a child. Seeing more and knowing more, the concept of "world" germinated in his mind. Compared with Wang Sun in Qin Gong, his vision is broad, his life is free, his temperament is unrestrained, and his ability to unify the world is developed in ignorance. At the age of nine, he ended his wandering life abroad-King Qin Zhao died, and his grandfather, Ann Guo Jun, succeeded to the throne for three days and died of poisoning. Therefore, Zhao Zheng's father became the king of Qin Zhuang. Now, Zhao has to politely send him and his mother back to Qin. After returning to China, Zhao Zheng's family affairs were a mess. For example, seven people all know the triangle relationship between Lv Buwei and his parents. & gt He doesn't care so much. The ambitions accumulated by several generations of Qin are waiting for him. He changed his name to Ying Zheng and put on the clothes of the Crown Prince. Three years later, when his father died, he succeeded to the throne at the age of 12, but he showed amazing precocity-he entrusted state affairs to Lv Buwei, Reese, Meng Ao and others and waited quietly for the power of time. In April of the lunar calendar in 238 BC, 20-year-old Ying Zheng held an adult ceremony in Yongcheng, the ancient capital of Qin State, and officially took over the national scepter. This year, he ordered the elimination of Laoyi and the recall of the Empress Dowager and Lv Buwei. & gt Since then, he has devoted all his thoughts to his work. The dream of unifying the world began with the demise of Zhao in 229 BC and gradually became a reality. Among them, his most effective assistant is General Wang Jian; Wang Jianwei, the most famous battle he fought was the battle to destroy Chu. & gt At first, Ying Zheng wanted to attack Chu with youthful Li Xin. He asked Li Xin, "I'm going to attack Chu. It is generally estimated that how many talents are enough? " Li Xin replied, "No more than 200,000 people. Ying Zheng asked Wang Jian again, and Wang Jian replied, "There must be 600,000 people." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "General Wang is old and timid. General Li is decisive and brave, and his words make sense. "He sent Li Xin and Meng Tian to attack Chu with two hundred thousand troops. Wang Jian didn't argue, but went back to his hometown in Fuping, Shaanxi Province on the pretext of illness. & gt& gt At first, Li Xin went very smoothly, winning two big cities of Chu in succession, and triumphantly planning to join forces with Meng Tian, unaware that the main forces of Chu were in hot pursuit. After three days and three nights, the Chu army finally shot, broke into two barracks in Li Xin, killed seven captains, and Qin Jun was defeated. & gt Ying Zheng was shocked when the news reached Xianyang. He immediately rushed to Wang Jian's hometown and made a solemn apology: "I didn't adopt the general's plan, trusted Li Xin and humiliated Qin Jun. Now, I heard that the Chu army is approaching day by day. Although the general is ill, do you have the heart to abandon me? & gt Ying Zheng repeatedly apologized, but Wang Jian finally came back on one condition: 600,000 people. Ying Zheng agreed, he sent his troops to war in person. On the front line, Wang Jian built a solid camp and held it without fighting. Soldiers rest, bathe and eat and drink every day. After a while, Wang Jian asked, "What game are the soldiers playing?" His men reported, "We are throwing stones in a competition to see who can throw them far." Wang Jian nodded: "Soldiers can come in handy. & gt Sure enough, Qin Jun, who has been recuperating for a long time, is like a teacher of tigers and wolves. He killed Xiang Yan, captured the king of Chu, and the State of Chu perished. & gt in 22 1 year BC, Ying Zheng got his wish and became the first Qin Shihuang to unify the world. He used his endless imagination and creativity to build an unprecedented empire-he occupied the Chinese character "I" and his command was "imperial edict"; All counties in the country, regardless of major details, are ruled by him; Gather the wealth of the world in Xianyang, and confiscate the weapons of the world in Xianyang. As he grew older, his boldness and tenacity in his youth became willful and strange. He hates civilians, so he nicknamed them "Thousand Hands". He hated businessmen, so he arrested them and sent them to attack South Vietnam. I don't know why, he also hates his son-in-law, and the son-in-law who comes to the door joins the army like a prisoner. & gt Of course, his imagination also left many masterpieces. For example, the "Chi Dao" he built is wide and straight, and some sections are even paved with tracks made of wood, which looks no different from today's railways. He cruised comfortably on his "wooden railway", looking for a new * * *-eternal life. In the pursuit of immortality, no one is more energetic and indomitable than our first emperor. He sent alchemists to the sea twice in search of immortality. The result is naturally gone forever. Why did Qin Shihuang, who was proficient in legalism and good at keeping secrets, willingly fall for charlatans? & gt in 22 1 year BC, a meteorite landed in Dong Jun, engraved with the words "the first emperor died and the land was divided". He killed all the residents nearby and set fire to meteorites. Why is an overbearing person who believes in eternal rule so afraid of a "reactionary slogan"? He is not so much afraid of death as he is afraid of the collapse of the building of a unified country. Qin Shihuang knew better than anyone that the unified empire he built was entirely around him. He is, United in; Without him, there would be no reunification. & gt Finally, in the summer of 2 10 BC, a pair of horses and chariots galloped on the road leading to Xianyang, raising the promised yellow sand and the stench of abalone, trying to cover up the most important secret of the empire-Qin Shihuang died during the military parade. Qin Shihuang's lonely soul firmly grasped all the feudal emperors of later generations. Most of them inherited the shortcomings of Qin Shihuang: high above. However, few people learn his advantages: self-confidence and creating the future. & gt
