How did Qin Shihuang unify China?
At the age of thirteen, King Xiang of Zhuang died, and Zheng succeeded to the throne and became the king of Qin. At this time, the territory of Qin has annexed Ba County, Shu County and Hanzhong, crossed Wanxian County and occupied the capital of Chu State, and established Nanjun County. In the north, it collected eastern Shang Jun and occupied Hedong, Taiyuan and Shangdang County. East to Xingyang, destroy the Western Zhou Dynasty, destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and establish Sanchuan County. Lv Buwei is the Prime Minister, with 100,000 households and the title of Wen Xin Hou. He recruited guests and tourists to annex the world. Reese is a shed. Meng Ao, Fu Hong and others are all generals. The king of Qin was young, and just after he ascended the throne, he entrusted state affairs to ministers.
Starting from the first year of the First Emperor (246 BC), the State of Qin continued its foreign conquests, and successively fought with Korea, Wei, Zhao, Wei and Chu, and successively captured some cities in these countries. In 239 BC, the younger brother of the king of Qin led an army to attack Zhao and rebelled in Tunliu. As a result, all his officers were killed and the people there were moved to Lintao. The general who came to crusade against Cheng Bi died in battle. Later, the station troops rebelled and died. After his death, he was tortured by flogging. At that time, there was an abnormal phenomenon that a large number of fish flooded ashore in the Yellow River.
In 238 BC, the King of Qin held a coronation ceremony, which showed that he was an adult and he officially took power. At this time, Hou Laoai, a long letter, stole the seal of the King of Qin and the seal of the Empress Dowager, mobilized the troops of the Rongdi clan and the guards, officials, officials and servants in an attempt to launch a rebellion. When the first emperor learned about this, he ordered Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun of Guo Xiang to send troops to attack Laoyi. Hundreds of people were killed in the battle of Xianyang. Lao Ai and others fled in defeat. The first emperor immediately ordered the whole country: whoever captures Lao Ai alive will be rewarded with one million yuan; Kill him and reward him with 500 thousand. After Lao Ai and others were all captured. □□ was sentenced to dismemberment, and the family was ruined. His retainer and other followers were also sentenced to different punishments. This reflected the severity of Qin's punishment at that time. According to the records of historians, the comet appeared in the west this year, and soon appeared in the north, which lasted for 80 days from Beidou to the south.
In 237 BC, Lv Buwei, the prime minister, was dismissed for being implicated by Lao Ai. Qin began to expel people from other countries who were officials in Qin on a large scale. Reese wrote to advise the king of Qin to abolish the marching orders. Reese took the opportunity to persuade the king of Qin to attack South Korea first to intimidate other countries, so the king of Qin sent Reese to South Korea to surrender. Wang Han was worried about this, so he conspired with Han Fei to weaken Qin.
Liao Wei, a girder man, came to the state of Qin to persuade the king of Qin. The state of Qin is so powerful that the governors are like counties. I'm only worried that Shandong countries will unite to make a surprise attack. This is why Zhi Bo, Fuxi and Wang Min perished in the past. I hope the king will not be stingy with his property and give gifts to dignitaries of various countries, and use them to disturb the plans of the governors. This only needs 300,000 yuan, and the governor can be completely eliminated. ? The king of Qin listened to his plan and treated Wei equally, with the same clothes and diet as Wei. Liao Wei described Ying Zheng as the king of Qin, with a high nose and big eyes, an eagle's chest and a wolf's voice, lacking in benevolence, but with a heart of a tiger and a wolf. When he is poor, he is prone to humble himself to others, and when he is successful, he will easily eat people. I am a civilian, but he is always so modest when he sees me. If the wish of the king of Qin to seize the world is realized, everyone in the world will become slaves. I can't keep in touch with him for a long time. ? So he decided to escape, but he was stopped by the king of Qin and made him the highest military officer of Qin. Reese is in charge of state affairs.
