The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]
Chapter 162 Warring States
After the news of Zhao Jun's defeat spread to Handan, the streets and alleys were instantly silent. Countless families couldn't believe the ending. However, it was more than two hundred young men from Handan City who brought back the news. The young people who were under the conscription line either sneaked in or were compulsorily conscripted, and their childish faces were full of horror.
And these people witnessed the whole process of Zhao Jun being beheaded.
They didn't escape, but were released by Qin Jun.
Qin Jun wanted to kill Zhao Jun in order to cut off the vitality of Zhao State for the next 20 years, and released them, more than [-] young men, in order to intimidate and warn Zhao State, which is also a wordless mockery.
It was very effective. When Zhao Guo's army and people learned the truth from these more than [-] young people who were either crying loudly or lost their minds, the morale of Zhao Guo dropped to the lowest.
Although these young people were released, it is almost impossible for any of them to go to the front line again. They have suffered from certain mental illnesses to varying degrees. Relying on irrigation, even if it is light, it can't stop screaming when it sees the edge of a sharp weapon.
The lives of these more than 200 young people have withered before they began to bloom, and they have become a microcosm of Handan City.
Today, every household in Handan City hangs the soul-calling flag, and some people hang more than one side. Almost everyone you meet on the street is wearing sackcloth. The most common expressions are bewilderment and sadness, and the loudest voice is wailing.
This defeat was too miserable, really too miserable.
Although there is water in the number of people, this is an army of hundreds of thousands, among which there is the strongest combat power of Zhao Guo. If they lined up and passed by, it would be even more overwhelming. How, how could it be so defeated? ?
Zhao Guo fell into a daze, and there was no villager in Xunqing's classroom to attend the class. The once bustling Xiaolinzi was now dead silent.
Xun Qing closed the bamboo scroll with a calm expression. He was not surprised by what he saw today. He tilted his head slightly and saw several students standing aside and looking at him.Xun Qing's movement of sorting out the scrolls was not noticeable and felt slightly stagnant, but his expression was too natural to be noticed. The man stood up and approached with a smile, "Since there are no students to attend the class today, let's talk more, shall we?"
The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and suddenly someone poked Lu An from behind, signaling him to move.
Several of Xun Qing's students came from surrounding countries, especially when Xun Qing was in Qi State, Qi State had the most people as teachers, followed by Wei State, which specializes in talents, such as Wei Liao, I don't know if it is a coincidence, Zhao State has no students .Now that Zhao Guo was defeated, these students felt that the teacher must be very sad, but none of them had the stand to comfort them.
The main reason is that Xun Qing's behavior is too normal, so normal that everyone thinks it is a bit impolite to persuade the husband now.
Lu Xiaoan was hinted by his seniors, so he ran up with his short legs and hugged his master's thigh with a clatter.
... The State of Zhao is located in the north. Although Xunzi is usually gentle and elegant, in fact he is also a muscular eight-foot man!Lu Xiaoan's current height can be used as a leg pendant, if he wants to hug his waist, he has to raise his hands, which is really stupid.
Lu An stuttered and recited the comforting rhetoric written by his seniors, and when he was about a third of the time to finish reciting, he received a soothing touch.
Xun Qing saw their intentions from the attitudes of many apprentices, and he was ironed in his heart, so he said, "This defeat, as a teacher, has been expected three years ago, and it was even more certain when Zhao Guo changed generals half a year ago." He looked at Several disciples shook their heads, "As a teacher, I have a friend who is good at military art. It's a pity that he is not here now, otherwise I can tell you about this battle."
He broke away from his own identity from the perspective of a third party, and calmly said from the perspective of the whole situation——
"Qin, you must kill the prisoners."
The same sentence was uttered by two different people almost at the same moment, but they were equally powerful.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to elaborate, he heard the sound of knocking on the door, and then the sliding door of the study was opened, and Zhao Ji came in holding a teapot.He shut up when he saw this, but he didn't know that the stranger saw him and kept urging him, and Lu Buwei saw Zhao Ji started cooking tea and a series of procedures, knowing that it took a long time, and seeing the attitude of the stranger changed, his heart was moved.He didn't show anything on his face, but continued, "Qin's army is few and Zhao's army is numerous, and the land of Shangdang is close to Zhao State, so it's hard for Qin's whip leader to reach him. If these more than [-] surrendered soldiers are released, the King of Qin will not feel at ease. "
Although most of these soldiers who surrendered were militiamen originally stationed in the Daliang Mountain area and responsible for transporting grain, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, they were all young and middle-aged, and the difference between the militia and the regular army was only a year or two.
Zhao Guo will be able to rise again after being dormant for a period of time after being defeated this time, but it will be difficult for Qin Guo to launch another military incident. At that time, Shangdang County, which was finally defeated, will fall back into Zhao Guo's hands. Isn't Qin Jun It's a busy day.
Take these 20 people away?
That's even more impossible.
This place is far away from the Qin State. Let alone 20, even 20 enemy prisoners have to consider how to resettle them after they are taken back. If the [-] people mutiny halfway, the Qin army will inevitably suffer a big loss.What's more, Zhao Guo ran out of ammunition and food, how much better could Qin be?Although agriculture and mulberry are encouraged, Qin’s domestic operation system still puts military industry first. The most important thing is that Qin’s own arable land is not much. Although it has won some arable land in the Bashu area before, the rainy terrain in Bashu is complicated. Rivers often flood, and harvests and disasters always alternate.
For this reason, the Qin State had to spend great efforts in governing the land of Bashu, but a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted.Taking a step back, even if the Qin State really manages the local area successfully, it will not take a year or two to revitalize the land and water, and it will take more than ten years for this place to feed back to the Qin State.
In the war between Qin and Zhao, I am afraid that it is half full and full hunger. To put it bluntly, it is half a catty.
If you don't want this battle to be fought in vain, and you can't keep the results of the war, it is impossible for the Qin army to release the 20 captives.
"Besides this, there is another reason." Lu Buwei glanced at Zhao Ji, who was sitting beside her after making tea and was signaled by someone else, and gently squeezed the corner of her sleeve with her fingers, but her face was still calm." Qin State's military merit award system forced Bai Qi to kill those who surrendered."
"In the previous battles, the Qin army lost more people than the Zhao army. According to Qin's military merit award system, if they don't want to be punished, they have to kill those who surrendered to offset the difference."
According to the system of the Qin State, it is absolutely not allowed to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. The old Qin people were originally sparsely populated, and people were their foundation.Even if such a battle is won, the general will be punished, and the soldiers will not get any benefits. What's more, the Qin State has lured the enemy several times before, and Zhao Jun's bravery caused the killing of one thousand enemies and the loss of one thousand two?
Bai Qi was already unsealable, and even if he was punished, it would be nothing more than a downgrade, but he had to think about the soldiers under him.
And the 20 soldiers, even if divided equally, would be enough for the soldiers to be promoted to the first rank, so if he didn't kill the prisoners, his own soldiers would suffer.
Yiren naturally knew this too, he sighed, "I talked face-to-face with Marquis Wu An..." He was silent for a while, but still said implicitly, "He is a very gentle person."
Sometimes people make decisions not necessarily out of their own heart, but because they have to.
Although the armies of various countries today have similar methods of recruiting troops, some of the armies of various countries are the army of generals, and some are the armies of princes and kings, but one thing is the same, they all fight for their own interests.
The banditry is like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate. This is the culture that was bred in this environment. The allowances of these soldiers are meager. What they fight for is money and power.
"If you work hard in a war and don't get promoted in the end, you will be punished instead..." Lu Buwei shook his head, "Will there be any Qin soldiers willing to fight in the future?"
Therefore, the Qin army must kill the surrenderers, and only in this way can it feed the Qin army that is going out.
If it is a mistake to kill and surrender, then its root lies in the military merit conferring system that is the foundation of the Qin State, so-"If it is wartime now, if Qin intends in the future...this method can no longer be used."
Lu Buwei said half of what he said, but the stranger understood. After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "It's hard."
"If the state of Qin is a mighty chariot, then Shang Jun spent a hundred years installing wheels on this chariot, and a chariot that is already speeding can stop without thinking."
"But this method must be changed." Lu Buwei lowered his eyes, "Young master, you might as well imagine that now Bai Qi can kill 20 prisoners of war, relying on a surprise, Zhao Jun did not expect that Qin Jun would kill all the prisoners and surrendered, but in the future Woolen cloth?"
"...Mr. mean?"
Lu Buwei raised his head slightly, looked at Zhao Ji who was sitting on the side, and said respectfully, "Madam is pregnant with a young son, the question I am waiting for is too bloody, ma'am look..."
"It's okay," the stranger waved his hands and smiled, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "Sir, I don't know, my kid likes these topics of fighting and killing the most."
While saying that he stretched out his hand so habitually that he wanted to touch Zhao Ji's stomach, but when he saw Lu Buwei on the opposite side, he quickly withdrew his hand, but the hand that was raised in mid-air had nowhere to fall, and it was too strange to retract it. The strange man had an idea and landed on Lu Buwei hands.
He held Lu Buwei's hand and said, "I'm still bothering you to teach me the lesson together with my son."
Lu Buwei, whose hand was suddenly held, hesitantly glanced at the stranger with a warm face, then at the calm Zhao Ji, and his eyes fell on Zhao Ji's abdomen again, feeling that something was wrong.
However, when the stranger shook his hand, he quickly calmed down and said, "I'm just saying that, after today, the Battle of Qin may never meet an army that is willing to surrender."
Surrender is death, which soldier will surrender?The man has his own blood, even though he is greedy for life, he doesn't want his dignity to be trampled on. Once the news of the Qin army's surrender came out, the Qin army will never encounter a surrendered soldier in the future.The enemy is unwilling to surrender, which means that every battle the Qin army faces will be a fierce battle.
The meaning behind Lu Buwei's words was understood by the stranger.
"If Qin only wants to be a hegemon, he can continue to govern the country in this way, but if Qin wants to have more... he has to consider the situation of all countries."
If all the enemies of the Qin army are not prepared to surrender but choose to fight hard, it means that all the actions of the Qin army are half the effort with half the effort, and this wasted half of the power is meaningless.
Yiren's eyes shrank suddenly, and he had more... These four children seemed ordinary, but he instinctively rejoiced at the metaphors in them.This is the persistence hidden in the blood of the old Qin people.From the day when they became the cannon fodder of the Zhou Dynasty due to their failure to stand in line, they have passed down their obsession for nearly 800 years from generation to generation-one day, they will return from the far west where they were expelled, and take them back. everything as it should be.
Even the kind-hearted Yiren is no exception. He may not have noticed it himself, but in fact his eyes reveal a kind of light called ambition, which is a kind of ambition hidden under a calm lake. The torrent surged unintentionally because of Lu Buwei's words.
This light was caught by Lu Buwei, and he continued calmly, "Shangjun's plan is the way to strengthen the country, but although the way of strength is good, it does not come without a price."
"Its price is the grief and hatred in the hearts of the conquered. Once the power fails, everyone in the world will be your enemy."
What is the price?The stranger was quite disapproving when he heard these words.
As the prince and grandson of the Qin State, he would never think that the Qin State would decline one day.And how can the conquered be convinced?Which piece of land was taken away by the locals who gave it with joy?Qin State seized so much land, what's the use of the local people's reluctance and hatred at the beginning?In the end, didn't Qin rush to sign up as soon as it was recruited?
"Then what if, one day, the Qin Kingdom rules the world, and there will be no more battles to fight and no titles to seal?" Lu Buwei leaned forward and asked, his eyes slightly narrowed and his voice soft: "At that time, those who are waiting for the war to win titles, get titles, etc. What about people of status?"
"Will they still be willing?"
He could feel the hand of Ying Yiren who was holding his hand tightened suddenly, and Lu Buwei's tone was calm and gentle, "I don't know, my lord, Shang Jun once asked his friend Zhao Liang before his death, how did he compare with Dr. Wuyan? My lord, can you know how Zhao Liang is?" answer?"
"Zhao Liang replied: Baili Xi doesn't take a car when going in and out, doesn't use an umbrella in the scorching heat, and doesn't take an accompanying vehicle when walking, and doesn't wear armed defenses. He can walk in the downtown area in common clothes, but what about Shang Jun?" Lu Buwei whispered Whispering, "Chariots go hand in hand, armored men accompany you, and those without spears and halberds dare not go out. Why?"
"When Bailixi passed away, both men and women in the Qin State were shedding tears, boys did not sing songs, and those who pounded did not pestle each other. When Shang Jun passed away, did you ever hear a word of gratitude from the people? Have you ever heard a courtier say it to him? Words of love?"
"Shangjun reformed the law for more than [-] years. At that time, there must have been people in the court because of his blessings. Why didn't these people speak for Shangjun?"
"Why?" The other man also murmured, "Isn't the system of conferring honors on military merits for the people also very good?" Rather, shouldn't these bureaucrats who started from the common people be most grateful to Shang Yang?
"Those who rely on virtue prosper, those who rely on strength perish." Lu Buwei sighed, "Shangjun's practice [strong way] is to use force to convince people, and the effect is extremely fast, but how can the subdued be willing in their hearts? Military merit is awarded to ordinary people The people were indeed a good thing in the first place, but the premise is that they really went to the front line completely voluntarily, and they have the life to come back alive.”
Titles are naturally given to the living, and the dead will only end up with nothing.
"Besides, what's the use of getting the title? Qin law is strict, even if you get the title, you may lose it accidentally. In order to survive, the men can only go to the battlefield constantly, and accumulate enough meritorious service for themselves and their families. Apology."
"Young Master, have you ever thought about it? When a low-level soldier has accumulated a family property through hard work, because Qin Fa has to separate the family, and his children cannot enjoy any of his blessings, the only way to live a good life is Can go to the battlefield, and finally die because of it, what will this father think at that time?"
The other person was stunned, he was born noble, so it is impossible for him to have such an experience, so he saw Lu Buwei shift his gaze to Zhao Ji: "A mother is terrified every day, and finally expects her husband back, and the family has not been reunited for a few days. To march."
"Master, why don't you think about what your mother thinks?"
Zhao Ji, who was being watched, stretched out her hand subconsciously to protect her abdomen. This is a mother's posture full of defense and hostility. When the stranger looked over, Zhao Ji was stunned, and she seemed to realize that she had done something. What, so she slowly put down her hand, but her subconscious reaction just now explained everything.
"The men in the family go out to fight, and the whole family is dominated by women. The mother's thoughts on things can determine the children's thoughts. If the mother has resentment against Shang Yang's government, will the children support Shang Yang?"
The other person frowned, he had an intuition that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the loophole in the middle for a while, Lu Buwei continued: "Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of your son's jokes, Buwei has been doing business all year round, and hasn't returned home for a long time, but After returning home a few days ago, I saw my little man..." He shook his head slightly, but a smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, "When I heard my son call my father, Buwei just wanted to spoil him like a I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the bastard, I hope he can stay away from all disasters and live in peace and happiness."
Ying Yiren's eyes wandered for a while, he glanced at Zhao Ji's abdomen, his eyes flashed, revealing a few touches of softness, and then he looked at Lu Buwei with a gentler gaze, "I feel like Mr. The moment he touched my palm that day... I felt that I could support him no matter what."
Hearing this, Zhao Ji stretched out her hand to caress her round belly. Her child is very quiet now, but Zhao Ji seems to be able to feel the sound of the little heart beating in the same rhythm as hers. After meeting the eyes of the stranger, she Suddenly, I felt a warm feeling in my heart, maybe the pregnant woman was kind, but my eyes were a little whirling.She said silently, "The concubine is the same."
Seeing this, the strange man's eyes became warmer again, but when he turned his eyes to look at Lu Buwei, he regained his composure, "It's just that Mr. said that he wanted to restore Qin's state affairs to the previous normal father-son inheritance? Some people think that this move is very serious. inappropriate."
The root of the system of conferring honors on military merits is that "the capable live in them". Qin State's rule of the country by this method is indeed effective. At the very least, although the bureaucracy of Qin State does not say that there is no salary beetle at all, it is definitely far superior to other countries. He would never agree to the abolition of this law.
Unexpectedly, Lu Buwei shook his head and denied the other person's speculation, "Young master, this law is the foundation of the Qin State, and it must not be tampered with in a short period of time. Buwei believes that the law of Shang Jun is indeed the law of strengthening Qin. It can only be amended, not repealed."
"Then according to Mr., how should it be corrected?"
Lu Buwei's eyes flashed, and he said decisively, "Correcting and benefiting the theory."
Why make a hole?
In Shang Jun’s view, all human beings in the world are for profit, so as long as other channels that can obtain benefits are blocked, only one channel is left, and this channel is what the country wants the people to do.
Then, in order to obtain this benefit, the people will scramble to rush to this channel and follow the direction of the country.
For example, when Duke Xiao was in power, Qin's national interest was to strengthen the army, so all the goals of the entire country were to serve the strong army.
Agriculture is developed to raise military rations; armor is punished for breaking the law; birth is encouraged to increase the supply of soldiers.What else?Business, entertainment, and these industries that are useless for strong soldiers all give up.
In the state of Qin, there is only one way to obtain glory and wealth and enjoy it - to go to the battlefield.
Otherwise, according to your title, you can only wear linen, so even if you have thousands of silks, you can only wear linen.It is stipulated that you can only eat chicken and duck meat, even if you are rich enough to eat a bear for a day, you can only eat chicken and duck meat.
so useful?certainly!
Xiaogong started reform in three years. Four years later, he was able to sit on the negotiating table with the most powerful country at that time and regain the land of Hexi. The next year he tore up the covenant and the two countries went to war. The country of Qin attacked the capital of Wei, the most powerful vassal state, and forced Wei to surrender.
Nine years later, Qin State moved to Xianyang, the place where the capital was moved to Guanzhong, and built a majestic palace. More than ten years later, Qin State was respectfully invited back to the negotiating table of the Warring States Power. After 16 years, all the vassal states came to congratulate the overlord.
Remember Xiao Gong's wish?His wish was to restore the status of Qin State when Duke Mu ruled the country, but Shang Yang accomplished it for him in less than 20 years.
This is the power of "Leaving a Hole". It gathers every trickle of the Qin State into a raging river through the small hole and sweeps away to the other six countries. None of the six countries can resist.
But there are also dangers. When Qin State was a small country, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and this method was used as a last resort. However, as Qin State conquered more and more lands, more and more people were destroyed or took the initiative to join Qin State. Is it possible to continue to use this method?
"The hole is still the same hole, but the original gurgling stream itself has become a river, so the function of this hole is still the original purpose of converging?" Lu Buwei asked himself and answered, "No, the hole that was originally used to gather water has reached that moment. It will only become something that hinders the flow of water, and the excess water flow has nowhere to go, young master may wish to guess, what will happen then?"
When Ying Yiren heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he immediately said to Lu Buwei, "Please enlighten me, sir!"
"In the beginning, the water will flow out, and in the end, this small hole will become the weakest link in the water container. The river will wash away one after another, destroying this hole, and destroying the entire container based on it. .”
Lu Buwei said slowly, his expression was even a little indifferent, as if what he said now was really telling a story about a container, but Yiren would not feel that way, the example given by Lu Buwei was too convincing With so much power, it seems that other people can think of the scene where the container burst open.
It is even more conceivable that the Qin State referred to by the container collapsed.
He couldn't sit still anymore, "Please teach me, sir!"
The author has something to say:
Lu Buwei: The art of speaking to the leader—tell him all the difficulties he is facing today, and magnify the speech.
Then tell him - I can fix it.
Then it can be reused for promotion and salary increase
Xia, the bronze trumpet meow who was carried away by the king: Worship! ! !
Brother Zheng: Continuously loading
====
This chapter originally consisted of two chapters, but I think it’s more refreshing to be together... So the author ran naked and didn’t save the manuscript.
You must praise this author who runs naked for your reading sense! ! !Otherwise I will make trouble!
Yesterday, a baby asked Bai Qi why he had to kill the captives... I will explain it to you today!The simple summary is——I can’t take it away, I can’t afford to take it away, and it’s impossible to put it back, so what should I do?
It can only be killed.
Wouldn't it be nice to kill them to intimidate the nations, weaken Zhao's strength, and increase military merits for everyone?
(At this time, there is no such thing as killing and surrendering.)
This is the terrible thing about the military merit conferring system. The age of Bai Qi's fame is in the military merit conferring system. He, and many Qin generals are like this.
It's just that Bai Qi's personal strength is relatively strong, so he kills a lot.
In addition, 45 people were not those who surrendered. They were collected because Zhao Jun was wiped out.The actual surrender is about 20W (claimed)
Yesterday a lot of people thought how Bai Qi killed so many people. I hesitated when I put the number (because it was a bit of a lie) but finally put it up because there is no word count for comparison and I don’t feel it.
One will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither, more than ten thousand bones.
Regarding the number of people...
The ancient army habitually lied about the amount, but this kind of deliberately exaggerated (hey) style actually reached its peak at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Other eras are relatively better, generally adding 0 to [-] percent, not like adding a [-] to the numbers in the Eastern Han Dynasty ...Uh, actually, I think it's mainly because the point is not clear.
Counting is not so easy!You let the illiterate old people to do the addition and subtraction within ten, and it’s okay to calculate within one hundred thousand million... This question is beyond the outline!
Especially in the era of war, when there is no communication between each other, it is really difficult.
For example, 4/50 people in our class gather at different gates of the park after going out for spring outings. It is not so easy for your teaching director to count the number of students in a grade at once. If there is no mobile phone, it will be difficult higher.
So the generals in ancient times were all... Mao estimated, plus there was the problem of eating empty pay, the battle damage was too great and they dared not report, the enemy had 50, and their family members were afraid, so they could only report us 80...
So although everyone knows that each other's numbers are high, they can't figure it out, because the embarrassment is embarrassing because the generals don't know how many soldiers they have, so historians can only record this part when recording.
By the way, there is a rule for Chinese historians to record, which is [I am not sure, if there is no way to be sure, as long as it exists, it must be recorded and left to future generations to verify]
For example, it is about the question of whether Shihuang's father is Lu Buwei or a foreigner ==
At that time, there were rumors in the Han Dynasty that Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's son.So when writing "Historical Records", Sima Qian recorded this, but he personally preferred that the first emperor was the son of a different person, so in writing "The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang", (that is, the main text) he wrote about the first emperor of Qin , Prince Qin Zhuangxiang.
Even if Sima Qian himself doesn't like Qin Shihuang, he will not discredit him (at most stuff some private goods). This is the style of historians.
So those who say that Sima Qian smeared the first emperor... are really biased. At most, he is clearly expressing ANTI first emperor.
For example, apart from the beginning, he always called Ying Zheng Qin Shihuang when he called him.
The word "Huang" and "Di" are heavier?In fact, the emperor is heavier, otherwise why did Shihuang insist on adding the emperor.
Huang means the beginning, and Emperor means the pinnacle (probably understand it). So in Sima Qian's eyes, I admit that you are the pioneer, but I don't recognize that you are the pinnacle of the industry of being an emperor.
Is his idea a family statement?
Of course not, it can be seen from the fact that what we have passed down is Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This is the common recognition of scholars, historians, many emperors, and the people for a long time.
In fact, all those who study history do not think highly of conventional emperors, because historians stand above the long river of history and look down on all of this. What our descendants remember is that Emperor Qin unified Han Wu and raised his power. What they saw It is the sudden decrease of the population, the wailing everywhere, and the fact that people cannibalize each other.
However, the overall evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is higher than that of Emperor Qin Shihuang. The main reason is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reflected introspection in the last few years of his life, and after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did make achievements in the past few years, and Emperor Qin did not admit that he did something wrong until he died. (In fact, I don’t think it’s his problem. The old Qin family has had this problem for more than 800 years. How difficult it is to rejuvenate a country, and prosperity must be proud. This is an ancestral tradition. This proves that the first emperor must be a member of the old Ying family)
Question about Shang Yang
The story in the text is true.Zhao Liang was trying to persuade him that you should step down, your situation is already very dangerous, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave.However, Shang Yang refused.Not long after, Duke Xiao died. He was arrested and accused of crimes and then fled. He couldn't escape, so he fled to the fief to rebel. As a result, the Qin army was too strong to rebel and failed to catch him and was killed.
In fact, we can all understand.
The Chinese tradition is to do more by yourself, as long as it makes life easier for the children in the future, don't be afraid of suffering or tiredness.At the beginning of Shang Yang's reform, the beneficiaries were all young people. For them, Shang Yang was a person who gave them hope for their rise.
But after 30 to [-] years, when these young people who survived became famous, they found that the result of their life's struggle could not protect their children and grandchildren. No matter how much money they make, no matter how old the duke is, their children still have to go to the battlefield. A careless child What's the use of earning more money if your life is gone?
——Is it a concept that we are willing to train our children to send people to the battlefield and be forced to send people there?
So the new generation of old Qin people don't support Shang Yang anymore.
In fact, they are all right, but they forget that the situation of the country is changing, and changes and fine-tuning must be made according to the situation of the country in different periods. It is the policy that adapts to the country, not the country to adapt to the policy.
Brother Zheng...wasn't born again, but...(Smash it, smash it)
And these people witnessed the whole process of Zhao Jun being beheaded.
They didn't escape, but were released by Qin Jun.
Qin Jun wanted to kill Zhao Jun in order to cut off the vitality of Zhao State for the next 20 years, and released them, more than [-] young men, in order to intimidate and warn Zhao State, which is also a wordless mockery.
It was very effective. When Zhao Guo's army and people learned the truth from these more than [-] young people who were either crying loudly or lost their minds, the morale of Zhao Guo dropped to the lowest.
Although these young people were released, it is almost impossible for any of them to go to the front line again. They have suffered from certain mental illnesses to varying degrees. Relying on irrigation, even if it is light, it can't stop screaming when it sees the edge of a sharp weapon.
The lives of these more than 200 young people have withered before they began to bloom, and they have become a microcosm of Handan City.
Today, every household in Handan City hangs the soul-calling flag, and some people hang more than one side. Almost everyone you meet on the street is wearing sackcloth. The most common expressions are bewilderment and sadness, and the loudest voice is wailing.
This defeat was too miserable, really too miserable.
Although there is water in the number of people, this is an army of hundreds of thousands, among which there is the strongest combat power of Zhao Guo. If they lined up and passed by, it would be even more overwhelming. How, how could it be so defeated? ?
Zhao Guo fell into a daze, and there was no villager in Xunqing's classroom to attend the class. The once bustling Xiaolinzi was now dead silent.
Xun Qing closed the bamboo scroll with a calm expression. He was not surprised by what he saw today. He tilted his head slightly and saw several students standing aside and looking at him.Xun Qing's movement of sorting out the scrolls was not noticeable and felt slightly stagnant, but his expression was too natural to be noticed. The man stood up and approached with a smile, "Since there are no students to attend the class today, let's talk more, shall we?"
The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and suddenly someone poked Lu An from behind, signaling him to move.
Several of Xun Qing's students came from surrounding countries, especially when Xun Qing was in Qi State, Qi State had the most people as teachers, followed by Wei State, which specializes in talents, such as Wei Liao, I don't know if it is a coincidence, Zhao State has no students .Now that Zhao Guo was defeated, these students felt that the teacher must be very sad, but none of them had the stand to comfort them.
The main reason is that Xun Qing's behavior is too normal, so normal that everyone thinks it is a bit impolite to persuade the husband now.
Lu Xiaoan was hinted by his seniors, so he ran up with his short legs and hugged his master's thigh with a clatter.
... The State of Zhao is located in the north. Although Xunzi is usually gentle and elegant, in fact he is also a muscular eight-foot man!Lu Xiaoan's current height can be used as a leg pendant, if he wants to hug his waist, he has to raise his hands, which is really stupid.
Lu An stuttered and recited the comforting rhetoric written by his seniors, and when he was about a third of the time to finish reciting, he received a soothing touch.
Xun Qing saw their intentions from the attitudes of many apprentices, and he was ironed in his heart, so he said, "This defeat, as a teacher, has been expected three years ago, and it was even more certain when Zhao Guo changed generals half a year ago." He looked at Several disciples shook their heads, "As a teacher, I have a friend who is good at military art. It's a pity that he is not here now, otherwise I can tell you about this battle."
He broke away from his own identity from the perspective of a third party, and calmly said from the perspective of the whole situation——
"Qin, you must kill the prisoners."
The same sentence was uttered by two different people almost at the same moment, but they were equally powerful.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to elaborate, he heard the sound of knocking on the door, and then the sliding door of the study was opened, and Zhao Ji came in holding a teapot.He shut up when he saw this, but he didn't know that the stranger saw him and kept urging him, and Lu Buwei saw Zhao Ji started cooking tea and a series of procedures, knowing that it took a long time, and seeing the attitude of the stranger changed, his heart was moved.He didn't show anything on his face, but continued, "Qin's army is few and Zhao's army is numerous, and the land of Shangdang is close to Zhao State, so it's hard for Qin's whip leader to reach him. If these more than [-] surrendered soldiers are released, the King of Qin will not feel at ease. "
Although most of these soldiers who surrendered were militiamen originally stationed in the Daliang Mountain area and responsible for transporting grain, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, they were all young and middle-aged, and the difference between the militia and the regular army was only a year or two.
Zhao Guo will be able to rise again after being dormant for a period of time after being defeated this time, but it will be difficult for Qin Guo to launch another military incident. At that time, Shangdang County, which was finally defeated, will fall back into Zhao Guo's hands. Isn't Qin Jun It's a busy day.
Take these 20 people away?
That's even more impossible.
This place is far away from the Qin State. Let alone 20, even 20 enemy prisoners have to consider how to resettle them after they are taken back. If the [-] people mutiny halfway, the Qin army will inevitably suffer a big loss.What's more, Zhao Guo ran out of ammunition and food, how much better could Qin be?Although agriculture and mulberry are encouraged, Qin’s domestic operation system still puts military industry first. The most important thing is that Qin’s own arable land is not much. Although it has won some arable land in the Bashu area before, the rainy terrain in Bashu is complicated. Rivers often flood, and harvests and disasters always alternate.
For this reason, the Qin State had to spend great efforts in governing the land of Bashu, but a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted.Taking a step back, even if the Qin State really manages the local area successfully, it will not take a year or two to revitalize the land and water, and it will take more than ten years for this place to feed back to the Qin State.
In the war between Qin and Zhao, I am afraid that it is half full and full hunger. To put it bluntly, it is half a catty.
If you don't want this battle to be fought in vain, and you can't keep the results of the war, it is impossible for the Qin army to release the 20 captives.
"Besides this, there is another reason." Lu Buwei glanced at Zhao Ji, who was sitting beside her after making tea and was signaled by someone else, and gently squeezed the corner of her sleeve with her fingers, but her face was still calm." Qin State's military merit award system forced Bai Qi to kill those who surrendered."
"In the previous battles, the Qin army lost more people than the Zhao army. According to Qin's military merit award system, if they don't want to be punished, they have to kill those who surrendered to offset the difference."
According to the system of the Qin State, it is absolutely not allowed to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. The old Qin people were originally sparsely populated, and people were their foundation.Even if such a battle is won, the general will be punished, and the soldiers will not get any benefits. What's more, the Qin State has lured the enemy several times before, and Zhao Jun's bravery caused the killing of one thousand enemies and the loss of one thousand two?
Bai Qi was already unsealable, and even if he was punished, it would be nothing more than a downgrade, but he had to think about the soldiers under him.
And the 20 soldiers, even if divided equally, would be enough for the soldiers to be promoted to the first rank, so if he didn't kill the prisoners, his own soldiers would suffer.
Yiren naturally knew this too, he sighed, "I talked face-to-face with Marquis Wu An..." He was silent for a while, but still said implicitly, "He is a very gentle person."
Sometimes people make decisions not necessarily out of their own heart, but because they have to.
Although the armies of various countries today have similar methods of recruiting troops, some of the armies of various countries are the army of generals, and some are the armies of princes and kings, but one thing is the same, they all fight for their own interests.
The banditry is like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate. This is the culture that was bred in this environment. The allowances of these soldiers are meager. What they fight for is money and power.
"If you work hard in a war and don't get promoted in the end, you will be punished instead..." Lu Buwei shook his head, "Will there be any Qin soldiers willing to fight in the future?"
Therefore, the Qin army must kill the surrenderers, and only in this way can it feed the Qin army that is going out.
If it is a mistake to kill and surrender, then its root lies in the military merit conferring system that is the foundation of the Qin State, so-"If it is wartime now, if Qin intends in the future...this method can no longer be used."
Lu Buwei said half of what he said, but the stranger understood. After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "It's hard."
"If the state of Qin is a mighty chariot, then Shang Jun spent a hundred years installing wheels on this chariot, and a chariot that is already speeding can stop without thinking."
"But this method must be changed." Lu Buwei lowered his eyes, "Young master, you might as well imagine that now Bai Qi can kill 20 prisoners of war, relying on a surprise, Zhao Jun did not expect that Qin Jun would kill all the prisoners and surrendered, but in the future Woolen cloth?"
"...Mr. mean?"
Lu Buwei raised his head slightly, looked at Zhao Ji who was sitting on the side, and said respectfully, "Madam is pregnant with a young son, the question I am waiting for is too bloody, ma'am look..."
"It's okay," the stranger waved his hands and smiled, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "Sir, I don't know, my kid likes these topics of fighting and killing the most."
While saying that he stretched out his hand so habitually that he wanted to touch Zhao Ji's stomach, but when he saw Lu Buwei on the opposite side, he quickly withdrew his hand, but the hand that was raised in mid-air had nowhere to fall, and it was too strange to retract it. The strange man had an idea and landed on Lu Buwei hands.
He held Lu Buwei's hand and said, "I'm still bothering you to teach me the lesson together with my son."
Lu Buwei, whose hand was suddenly held, hesitantly glanced at the stranger with a warm face, then at the calm Zhao Ji, and his eyes fell on Zhao Ji's abdomen again, feeling that something was wrong.
However, when the stranger shook his hand, he quickly calmed down and said, "I'm just saying that, after today, the Battle of Qin may never meet an army that is willing to surrender."
Surrender is death, which soldier will surrender?The man has his own blood, even though he is greedy for life, he doesn't want his dignity to be trampled on. Once the news of the Qin army's surrender came out, the Qin army will never encounter a surrendered soldier in the future.The enemy is unwilling to surrender, which means that every battle the Qin army faces will be a fierce battle.
The meaning behind Lu Buwei's words was understood by the stranger.
"If Qin only wants to be a hegemon, he can continue to govern the country in this way, but if Qin wants to have more... he has to consider the situation of all countries."
If all the enemies of the Qin army are not prepared to surrender but choose to fight hard, it means that all the actions of the Qin army are half the effort with half the effort, and this wasted half of the power is meaningless.
Yiren's eyes shrank suddenly, and he had more... These four children seemed ordinary, but he instinctively rejoiced at the metaphors in them.This is the persistence hidden in the blood of the old Qin people.From the day when they became the cannon fodder of the Zhou Dynasty due to their failure to stand in line, they have passed down their obsession for nearly 800 years from generation to generation-one day, they will return from the far west where they were expelled, and take them back. everything as it should be.
Even the kind-hearted Yiren is no exception. He may not have noticed it himself, but in fact his eyes reveal a kind of light called ambition, which is a kind of ambition hidden under a calm lake. The torrent surged unintentionally because of Lu Buwei's words.
This light was caught by Lu Buwei, and he continued calmly, "Shangjun's plan is the way to strengthen the country, but although the way of strength is good, it does not come without a price."
"Its price is the grief and hatred in the hearts of the conquered. Once the power fails, everyone in the world will be your enemy."
What is the price?The stranger was quite disapproving when he heard these words.
As the prince and grandson of the Qin State, he would never think that the Qin State would decline one day.And how can the conquered be convinced?Which piece of land was taken away by the locals who gave it with joy?Qin State seized so much land, what's the use of the local people's reluctance and hatred at the beginning?In the end, didn't Qin rush to sign up as soon as it was recruited?
"Then what if, one day, the Qin Kingdom rules the world, and there will be no more battles to fight and no titles to seal?" Lu Buwei leaned forward and asked, his eyes slightly narrowed and his voice soft: "At that time, those who are waiting for the war to win titles, get titles, etc. What about people of status?"
"Will they still be willing?"
He could feel the hand of Ying Yiren who was holding his hand tightened suddenly, and Lu Buwei's tone was calm and gentle, "I don't know, my lord, Shang Jun once asked his friend Zhao Liang before his death, how did he compare with Dr. Wuyan? My lord, can you know how Zhao Liang is?" answer?"
"Zhao Liang replied: Baili Xi doesn't take a car when going in and out, doesn't use an umbrella in the scorching heat, and doesn't take an accompanying vehicle when walking, and doesn't wear armed defenses. He can walk in the downtown area in common clothes, but what about Shang Jun?" Lu Buwei whispered Whispering, "Chariots go hand in hand, armored men accompany you, and those without spears and halberds dare not go out. Why?"
"When Bailixi passed away, both men and women in the Qin State were shedding tears, boys did not sing songs, and those who pounded did not pestle each other. When Shang Jun passed away, did you ever hear a word of gratitude from the people? Have you ever heard a courtier say it to him? Words of love?"
"Shangjun reformed the law for more than [-] years. At that time, there must have been people in the court because of his blessings. Why didn't these people speak for Shangjun?"
"Why?" The other man also murmured, "Isn't the system of conferring honors on military merits for the people also very good?" Rather, shouldn't these bureaucrats who started from the common people be most grateful to Shang Yang?
"Those who rely on virtue prosper, those who rely on strength perish." Lu Buwei sighed, "Shangjun's practice [strong way] is to use force to convince people, and the effect is extremely fast, but how can the subdued be willing in their hearts? Military merit is awarded to ordinary people The people were indeed a good thing in the first place, but the premise is that they really went to the front line completely voluntarily, and they have the life to come back alive.”
Titles are naturally given to the living, and the dead will only end up with nothing.
"Besides, what's the use of getting the title? Qin law is strict, even if you get the title, you may lose it accidentally. In order to survive, the men can only go to the battlefield constantly, and accumulate enough meritorious service for themselves and their families. Apology."
"Young Master, have you ever thought about it? When a low-level soldier has accumulated a family property through hard work, because Qin Fa has to separate the family, and his children cannot enjoy any of his blessings, the only way to live a good life is Can go to the battlefield, and finally die because of it, what will this father think at that time?"
The other person was stunned, he was born noble, so it is impossible for him to have such an experience, so he saw Lu Buwei shift his gaze to Zhao Ji: "A mother is terrified every day, and finally expects her husband back, and the family has not been reunited for a few days. To march."
"Master, why don't you think about what your mother thinks?"
Zhao Ji, who was being watched, stretched out her hand subconsciously to protect her abdomen. This is a mother's posture full of defense and hostility. When the stranger looked over, Zhao Ji was stunned, and she seemed to realize that she had done something. What, so she slowly put down her hand, but her subconscious reaction just now explained everything.
"The men in the family go out to fight, and the whole family is dominated by women. The mother's thoughts on things can determine the children's thoughts. If the mother has resentment against Shang Yang's government, will the children support Shang Yang?"
The other person frowned, he had an intuition that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the loophole in the middle for a while, Lu Buwei continued: "Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of your son's jokes, Buwei has been doing business all year round, and hasn't returned home for a long time, but After returning home a few days ago, I saw my little man..." He shook his head slightly, but a smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, "When I heard my son call my father, Buwei just wanted to spoil him like a I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the bastard, I hope he can stay away from all disasters and live in peace and happiness."
Ying Yiren's eyes wandered for a while, he glanced at Zhao Ji's abdomen, his eyes flashed, revealing a few touches of softness, and then he looked at Lu Buwei with a gentler gaze, "I feel like Mr. The moment he touched my palm that day... I felt that I could support him no matter what."
Hearing this, Zhao Ji stretched out her hand to caress her round belly. Her child is very quiet now, but Zhao Ji seems to be able to feel the sound of the little heart beating in the same rhythm as hers. After meeting the eyes of the stranger, she Suddenly, I felt a warm feeling in my heart, maybe the pregnant woman was kind, but my eyes were a little whirling.She said silently, "The concubine is the same."
Seeing this, the strange man's eyes became warmer again, but when he turned his eyes to look at Lu Buwei, he regained his composure, "It's just that Mr. said that he wanted to restore Qin's state affairs to the previous normal father-son inheritance? Some people think that this move is very serious. inappropriate."
The root of the system of conferring honors on military merits is that "the capable live in them". Qin State's rule of the country by this method is indeed effective. At the very least, although the bureaucracy of Qin State does not say that there is no salary beetle at all, it is definitely far superior to other countries. He would never agree to the abolition of this law.
Unexpectedly, Lu Buwei shook his head and denied the other person's speculation, "Young master, this law is the foundation of the Qin State, and it must not be tampered with in a short period of time. Buwei believes that the law of Shang Jun is indeed the law of strengthening Qin. It can only be amended, not repealed."
"Then according to Mr., how should it be corrected?"
Lu Buwei's eyes flashed, and he said decisively, "Correcting and benefiting the theory."
Why make a hole?
In Shang Jun’s view, all human beings in the world are for profit, so as long as other channels that can obtain benefits are blocked, only one channel is left, and this channel is what the country wants the people to do.
Then, in order to obtain this benefit, the people will scramble to rush to this channel and follow the direction of the country.
For example, when Duke Xiao was in power, Qin's national interest was to strengthen the army, so all the goals of the entire country were to serve the strong army.
Agriculture is developed to raise military rations; armor is punished for breaking the law; birth is encouraged to increase the supply of soldiers.What else?Business, entertainment, and these industries that are useless for strong soldiers all give up.
In the state of Qin, there is only one way to obtain glory and wealth and enjoy it - to go to the battlefield.
Otherwise, according to your title, you can only wear linen, so even if you have thousands of silks, you can only wear linen.It is stipulated that you can only eat chicken and duck meat, even if you are rich enough to eat a bear for a day, you can only eat chicken and duck meat.
so useful?certainly!
Xiaogong started reform in three years. Four years later, he was able to sit on the negotiating table with the most powerful country at that time and regain the land of Hexi. The next year he tore up the covenant and the two countries went to war. The country of Qin attacked the capital of Wei, the most powerful vassal state, and forced Wei to surrender.
Nine years later, Qin State moved to Xianyang, the place where the capital was moved to Guanzhong, and built a majestic palace. More than ten years later, Qin State was respectfully invited back to the negotiating table of the Warring States Power. After 16 years, all the vassal states came to congratulate the overlord.
Remember Xiao Gong's wish?His wish was to restore the status of Qin State when Duke Mu ruled the country, but Shang Yang accomplished it for him in less than 20 years.
This is the power of "Leaving a Hole". It gathers every trickle of the Qin State into a raging river through the small hole and sweeps away to the other six countries. None of the six countries can resist.
But there are also dangers. When Qin State was a small country, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and this method was used as a last resort. However, as Qin State conquered more and more lands, more and more people were destroyed or took the initiative to join Qin State. Is it possible to continue to use this method?
"The hole is still the same hole, but the original gurgling stream itself has become a river, so the function of this hole is still the original purpose of converging?" Lu Buwei asked himself and answered, "No, the hole that was originally used to gather water has reached that moment. It will only become something that hinders the flow of water, and the excess water flow has nowhere to go, young master may wish to guess, what will happen then?"
When Ying Yiren heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he immediately said to Lu Buwei, "Please enlighten me, sir!"
"In the beginning, the water will flow out, and in the end, this small hole will become the weakest link in the water container. The river will wash away one after another, destroying this hole, and destroying the entire container based on it. .”
Lu Buwei said slowly, his expression was even a little indifferent, as if what he said now was really telling a story about a container, but Yiren would not feel that way, the example given by Lu Buwei was too convincing With so much power, it seems that other people can think of the scene where the container burst open.
It is even more conceivable that the Qin State referred to by the container collapsed.
He couldn't sit still anymore, "Please teach me, sir!"
The author has something to say:
Lu Buwei: The art of speaking to the leader—tell him all the difficulties he is facing today, and magnify the speech.
Then tell him - I can fix it.
Then it can be reused for promotion and salary increase
Xia, the bronze trumpet meow who was carried away by the king: Worship! ! !
Brother Zheng: Continuously loading
====
This chapter originally consisted of two chapters, but I think it’s more refreshing to be together... So the author ran naked and didn’t save the manuscript.
You must praise this author who runs naked for your reading sense! ! !Otherwise I will make trouble!
Yesterday, a baby asked Bai Qi why he had to kill the captives... I will explain it to you today!The simple summary is——I can’t take it away, I can’t afford to take it away, and it’s impossible to put it back, so what should I do?
It can only be killed.
Wouldn't it be nice to kill them to intimidate the nations, weaken Zhao's strength, and increase military merits for everyone?
(At this time, there is no such thing as killing and surrendering.)
This is the terrible thing about the military merit conferring system. The age of Bai Qi's fame is in the military merit conferring system. He, and many Qin generals are like this.
It's just that Bai Qi's personal strength is relatively strong, so he kills a lot.
In addition, 45 people were not those who surrendered. They were collected because Zhao Jun was wiped out.The actual surrender is about 20W (claimed)
Yesterday a lot of people thought how Bai Qi killed so many people. I hesitated when I put the number (because it was a bit of a lie) but finally put it up because there is no word count for comparison and I don’t feel it.
One will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither, more than ten thousand bones.
Regarding the number of people...
The ancient army habitually lied about the amount, but this kind of deliberately exaggerated (hey) style actually reached its peak at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Other eras are relatively better, generally adding 0 to [-] percent, not like adding a [-] to the numbers in the Eastern Han Dynasty ...Uh, actually, I think it's mainly because the point is not clear.
Counting is not so easy!You let the illiterate old people to do the addition and subtraction within ten, and it’s okay to calculate within one hundred thousand million... This question is beyond the outline!
Especially in the era of war, when there is no communication between each other, it is really difficult.
For example, 4/50 people in our class gather at different gates of the park after going out for spring outings. It is not so easy for your teaching director to count the number of students in a grade at once. If there is no mobile phone, it will be difficult higher.
So the generals in ancient times were all... Mao estimated, plus there was the problem of eating empty pay, the battle damage was too great and they dared not report, the enemy had 50, and their family members were afraid, so they could only report us 80...
So although everyone knows that each other's numbers are high, they can't figure it out, because the embarrassment is embarrassing because the generals don't know how many soldiers they have, so historians can only record this part when recording.
By the way, there is a rule for Chinese historians to record, which is [I am not sure, if there is no way to be sure, as long as it exists, it must be recorded and left to future generations to verify]
For example, it is about the question of whether Shihuang's father is Lu Buwei or a foreigner ==
At that time, there were rumors in the Han Dynasty that Ying Zheng was Lu Buwei's son.So when writing "Historical Records", Sima Qian recorded this, but he personally preferred that the first emperor was the son of a different person, so in writing "The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang", (that is, the main text) he wrote about the first emperor of Qin , Prince Qin Zhuangxiang.
Even if Sima Qian himself doesn't like Qin Shihuang, he will not discredit him (at most stuff some private goods). This is the style of historians.
So those who say that Sima Qian smeared the first emperor... are really biased. At most, he is clearly expressing ANTI first emperor.
For example, apart from the beginning, he always called Ying Zheng Qin Shihuang when he called him.
The word "Huang" and "Di" are heavier?In fact, the emperor is heavier, otherwise why did Shihuang insist on adding the emperor.
Huang means the beginning, and Emperor means the pinnacle (probably understand it). So in Sima Qian's eyes, I admit that you are the pioneer, but I don't recognize that you are the pinnacle of the industry of being an emperor.
Is his idea a family statement?
Of course not, it can be seen from the fact that what we have passed down is Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This is the common recognition of scholars, historians, many emperors, and the people for a long time.
In fact, all those who study history do not think highly of conventional emperors, because historians stand above the long river of history and look down on all of this. What our descendants remember is that Emperor Qin unified Han Wu and raised his power. What they saw It is the sudden decrease of the population, the wailing everywhere, and the fact that people cannibalize each other.
However, the overall evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is higher than that of Emperor Qin Shihuang. The main reason is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reflected introspection in the last few years of his life, and after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did make achievements in the past few years, and Emperor Qin did not admit that he did something wrong until he died. (In fact, I don’t think it’s his problem. The old Qin family has had this problem for more than 800 years. How difficult it is to rejuvenate a country, and prosperity must be proud. This is an ancestral tradition. This proves that the first emperor must be a member of the old Ying family)
Question about Shang Yang
The story in the text is true.Zhao Liang was trying to persuade him that you should step down, your situation is already very dangerous, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave.However, Shang Yang refused.Not long after, Duke Xiao died. He was arrested and accused of crimes and then fled. He couldn't escape, so he fled to the fief to rebel. As a result, the Qin army was too strong to rebel and failed to catch him and was killed.
In fact, we can all understand.
The Chinese tradition is to do more by yourself, as long as it makes life easier for the children in the future, don't be afraid of suffering or tiredness.At the beginning of Shang Yang's reform, the beneficiaries were all young people. For them, Shang Yang was a person who gave them hope for their rise.
But after 30 to [-] years, when these young people who survived became famous, they found that the result of their life's struggle could not protect their children and grandchildren. No matter how much money they make, no matter how old the duke is, their children still have to go to the battlefield. A careless child What's the use of earning more money if your life is gone?
——Is it a concept that we are willing to train our children to send people to the battlefield and be forced to send people there?
So the new generation of old Qin people don't support Shang Yang anymore.
In fact, they are all right, but they forget that the situation of the country is changing, and changes and fine-tuning must be made according to the situation of the country in different periods. It is the policy that adapts to the country, not the country to adapt to the policy.
Brother Zheng...wasn't born again, but...(Smash it, smash it)
