Qin Zhaoxiang, Wang Yisheng

After reading the historical records of Qin Dynasty, we can see that Ji, King Zhao of Qin Dynasty, conquered numerous cities and lands in 56 years of his reign. Without careful investigation, later generations praised him as the greatest king in the history of Qin. Therefore, it is concluded that Qin Shihuang's unification of China depended on the rich foundation laid by his great grandfather. In Han Dynasty, the literati even used a phrase of "striving for the six remaining generations", which was used to satirize Qin Shihuang for picking peaches. The implication was that anyone could unify China.

The sentence "Fen Liu Shi Yu lie" is very deceptive, because most readers will not compare history when they read it. Why didn't Duke Huan of Qi conquer the princes, but let his subordinates Tian take over the country and destroy the family instead of "fighting for the sixth yulie" to unify China? Why did his descendants, such as king Hui of Wei, fail to "fight for the sixth yulie" to unify China, but were defeated twice in Maling and Guiling? King Wuling of Zhao annexed Zhongshan by Hufu and his son Why didn't sun fenliuyulie but perish?

As the saying goes, "it's easy to fight, but hard to defend.". There is also a saying that "rich but three generations". In fact, if our ancestors created a beautiful land, it would be even more difficult for our descendants to strive to be strong. Readers should learn from this.

The real historical fact is that Qin Shihuang was not so lucky. His great grandfather, Wang Ji of Qin Zhao, didn't create a rich foundation for him. On the contrary, he ruined the family fortune accumulated by Shang Yang's reform. Most of the achievements of conquering cities and land recorded in historical books are just past. A lot of cities were soon lost. Now look at Cheng Bu's analysis one by one. Regular script is the original text of historical records, while song script is Cheng Bu's analysis. If you can read it patiently, I believe you will also sigh that King Qin Zhao's life is nothing.

"Three years, crown. He met with the king of Chu and the golden mean of Chu. " He gave Shangyong to the state of Chu to show his ancestors' generosity.

"Four years, take Osaka." Then the next year, it was sent back to the state of Wei: "in the fifth year, the king of Wei came to Yingting and restored to Puban."

"In the sixth year, the Marquis of Shu Hui rebelled and Sima wrongly appointed Shu." In the ninth year of Queen Qinhui, simacuo defeated Bashu. In the 11th year, the Duke was granted the official title of Shu. This time, it was just to calm down the civil strife.

"Seven years, new city." The new town didn't hold. Evidence: in the 13th year, zuogeng attacked the new town. And this time it didn't.

"In the eighth year, he sent General Mi Rong to attack Chu and take the new city." Between Zhongxiang and Anlu in Nanjun, this was the only territory occupied by King Qin Zhao in 56 years. During this period, Zhao state annexed Zhongshan state, Chu state annexed Wu state and Kuai, Qi state destroyed Lu state, divided Song state with Wei state, and Korea also annexed Zheng State.

"In the ninth year, Huan attacked Chu and took eight cities." I don't know which eight cities? According to the border with Chu, they should be Nanjun.

"In the 11th year, Qi, Han, Wei, Zhao, song and Zhongshan attacked Qin and returned to Yan family. Qin and Han, Wei Hebei and Fengling to peace This is the humiliation of King Zhao of Qin to seek peace and the generosity of his ancestors. The tomb was sealed in the south of Shanxi Province.

"Twelve years, to Chu Su 50000 stone." The year before last, King Huai of Chu was imprisoned. I don't know if it is an act of compensation and atonement.

"In the 13th year, he conquered the Han Dynasty with Shoushou and began to take the military." Wushi was in the southwest of Handan, belonging to Shangdang county. It was lost after the battle of Handan. Evidence: in the third year of the reign of emperor qinzhuang, Wang Yi attacked Shangdang.

"In 13 years, Zuo Geng started to attack the new town." Baiqi failed to conquer the new town this time.

"In the 14th year, zuogeng Baiqi attacked Han and Wei in yique, beheaded 240000 people, captured Gongsun Xi and uprooted five cities." Yi que was not conquered by Bai Qi. Evidence: in the 51st year, "the monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty carried the Qin Dynasty and made an appointment with the princes to send the world's sharp troops out of the yique to attack the Qin Dynasty", which shows that Baiqi did not conquer the yique. "Pull out five cities" I don't know which five cities. Beheading 240000 people is a false report of military achievements, like the battle of Changping. According to records of the Wei family in historical records, the total strength of the Han Wei allied forces is 240000. "Three years later, zokor attacked Qin Dynasty, and Qin Dynasty defeated Baiqi with 240000 yique troops.". It is impossible to decapitate all enemy troops. Moreover, in such a large number of cases, it failed to occupy the focus of the fight, which shows that beheading 240000 is virtual.

"In the 15th year, Daliang made Bai Qi to attack Wei, took yuan and gave it back. Attack Chu and take Wan. " Wan in Nanyang County.

"In the 16th year, Zuo Geng mistakenly chose Lu and Deng. He was granted the title of Prince Shi Wan, Prince Yao Deng and Wei rantao Fu and Deng are located at the junction of Wangwu mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain in Hebei Province, belonging to Hanoi. It was lost after the battle of Handan.

"In the 17th year, the king of Chengyang entered the dynasty, and the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty came to the dynasty. In Qin Dynasty, the surnames of Pu Han and PI were yuan The word "Wei": the index thinks it is a mistake of the word "Yi".

"In the 18th year, we attacked yuan and Heyong by mistake and decided to take it from the bridge." They attacked Yuancheng and Heyong city by mistake. "Gai Pu Han and PI's family returned to Wei. Wei Fu thought that they were yuan, and now they attack again.

"In the 21st year, we attacked Hanoi by mistake. In Wei Xian'an, the Qin Dynasty sent people to the east of the river to give them knights, and those who forgive sins moved there. " Anyi was in Hedong county. Handan was defeated greatly. Wangji communicated with the enemy and Hedong county was lost. For this reason, Wang Ji was killed by the chief.

"Twenty two years later, MengWu attacked Qi." Qi is far away and separated from Han, Zhao and Wei.

"In the 23rd year, Wei Sili, together with the three Jin Dynasties and the Yan Dynasty, broke through the West." There is no city of Kentucky. And we can't keep it.

"In the 24th year, Qin took Wei'an city to Daliang, Yan and Zhao rescued it, and Qin army went." Ancheng was to the east of Xingyang, and the Qin army was defeated and retreated.

"In 27 years, he attacked Chu by mistake. Those who forgive sins moved to Nanyang. Bai Qi attacked Zhao and replaced the light wolf city. He also sent Sima to Longxi by mistake. Because Shu attacked the middle of Chu and Qian, he pulled it out. " The city of light wolf is located in the west of Gaoping County, Shanxi Province, belonging to hanshangdang county. Handan was lost after the war. After Qianzhong County, Chu people rebelled and lost.

"In the 28th year, Daliang made Bai Qi to attack Chu, took Yan and Deng, and moved those who forgive sins." There are two theories about the location of Yan and Deng. One is in Nanjun, the other is in Yingchuan.

"In the 29th year, Daliang made Baiqi to attack Chu, and took Ying as Nanjun." Nanjun is the only place occupied by Ji, King Zhao of Qin Dynasty, who launched countless wars in the 56th year of his reign. Its location is to the west of Wuhan, Hubei Province, excluding Enshi.

"Thirty years later, Shu Shou Ruo conquered Chu, took Wu County and Jiangnan as Qianzhong county." In the second year, Qianzhong County, which was composed of Wu County and Jiangnan County, was lost: "in the thirty first year, Chu people rebelled against Jiangnan.".

"Thirty one years later, Bai Qi attacked Wei and took two cities." I don't know which two cities.

"In the 32nd year, marquis Xiangdan attacked the Wei Dynasty and went to Daliang. He broke the kite, beheaded 40000 yuan and left." Qin soldiers retreated to Daliang. Evidence: in the first year of the reign of emperor qinzhuang, Meng Ao was sent to attack Han and Han Xian to become Gao and Gong. Chenggao and Gongxian are 150 kilometers west of Daliang. They can not be stationed near Daliang without occupying Chenggao and Gongxian.

"In the 32nd year, Wei entered three counties to make peace." I don't know which three counties.

"In the 33rd year, Hu Yang, the guest minister, attacked Wei Juan, Cai Yang and Chang she and took them." All the cities are lost. Evidence: in the second year of the reign of the first emperor of Qin, "the Duke of Chu attacked the dead and beheaded 30000 people."

"In the 33rd year, he attacked mangmao Huayang, broke it and beheaded 150000 people." No record of conquering Huayang shows that Huayang has not been conquered.

"In the 33rd year, Wei entered Nanyang to make peace." This Nanyang was captured by South Korea, the evidence: "Xu Guangyue, Hanoi Xiuwu, ancient Nanyang." "In the 44th year, he attacked Han Nanyang and took it."

"Thirty six years later, Keqing kitchen attacked Qi, took gang and Shou, and gave them to Marquis Chen." lose. You can't keep the same place.

"In the 38th year, Hu Yang of Zhonggeng attacked Zhao Kai and could not win." The Qin army was defeated by Zhao she.

"In the summer of the 41st year, Wei was attacked and Xingqiu and Huai were chosen." Xing Qiu and Huai were in the southeast of yewang city and lost after the battle of Handan.

"In the 43rd year, the king of Wu'an attacked Korea in white, uprooted nine cities and beheaded 50000 people." I don't know which nine cities.

"In the 44th year, he attacked Han Nanyang and took it." "Xu Guang said, Hanoi Xiuwu, ancient Nanyang." All of them were lost after the battle of Handan in Hanoi.

"In forty-five years, five senior officials attacked Korea and took ten cities." I don't know which ten cities.

"In the 47th year, Qin attacked Han Shangdang and Shangdang came down to Zhao. Because Qin attacked Zhao, Zhao sent troops to attack Qin. Emperor Wu'an, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, attacked in vain and defeated Zhao Yu Changping, killing more than 400000 people. " In the battle of Handan, the Qin army was defeated and Shangdang was lost. Evidence: in the third year of the reign of emperor qinzhuang, "Wang Yi attacked the upper party."

"In October of the 48th year, Han Xianyuan and Yong. The Qin army was divided into three armies. Wu An Jun GUI. Wang Yi defeated Zhao Wu'an and Pilao and pulled them out. Sima Geng North fixed Taiyuan, do have Han Shangdang. "Handan was defeated, Wu'an, Pishi, Shangdang and Taiyuan were all lost. Evidence: King Zhuang of Qin Dynasty "made Meng Ao attack zhaoding Taiyuan in the second year." In the third year of emperor Zhuang of Qin Dynasty, "Wang Yi attacked the party."

"In October of the fiftieth year, the king of Wu'an was guilty in vain. He became a scholar and moved to Yin MI. Zhang Tang attacked Zheng and pulled it out. " Zheng Chengliang Yusheng's doubt of historical records says: "the doubt is the mistake of the word" Chu ", and the mistake of Zhao di." It was lost after the collapse of Handan.

"In December, Yifa soldiers came to Fencheng. The king of Wu'an is guilty and dead. When he attacked Handan, if he did not pull it out, he would return to Fenjun. In February, he attacked the Jin army, beheaded 6000 people, and killed 20000 people in Jin and Chu. Attack Fencheng, that is, from the Tang Dynasty, ningxinzhong, ningxinzhong renamed Anyang. Fencheng was not conquered. Anyang was lost in the battle of Handan after the Qin army retreated from Hanoi. In the 11th year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, "Ye and Anyang were chosen.".

"In 1951, the general attacked South Korea, took Yangcheng and negative millet, and beheaded 40000." The king of the Western Zhou Dynasty carried Qin on his back and made an appointment with the princes to attack Qin by sending the world's sharp troops out of yique, so that Qin could not get access to Yangcheng. So the general of the Qin emissary attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty. The king of the Western Zhou Dynasty came back and suffered a lot. He offered thirty-six cities and thirty thousand people. When the king of Qin received the sacrifice, it belonged to his king in the Zhou Dynasty. " Yangcheng and fengshu are near Luoyang, the capital of this week. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the territory was only ten miles around Luoyang, where were 36 cities? And how did the 36 cities only have a population of 30000? Therefore, it can be concluded that the 36 cities were just marks on the map of that year, and they were carved up by Qin, Han and Chu at that time.

"In the 51st year, he attacked Zhao, took more than 20 counties, and captured 90000 people for the first time." I don't know where more than 20 counties are. And then they were all lost. Evidence: according to Zhao Shijia, Zhao general Lianpo Lecheng defeated Qin army in this year: "Zhao general Lianpo Lecheng attacked Qin Xinliang army and broke it.". Moreover, Taiyuan and Shangdang were lost, and the Qin army could not gain a foothold in Zhaodi.

In the 53rd year, Qin's envoys attacked Wei and took Wu city. Wucheng is a small town in Hanoi, Southeast of Yuncheng in Shanxi Province, near the Bank of the Yellow River. It can be seen that all the Hanoi counties in Shanxi Province have been lost.

"In the autumn of the 56th year, King Zhaoxiang died, and his son Xiaowen was king Li."

Through the above analysis, it is not difficult for us to come to the conclusion that after 56 years of reign, King Zhao of Qin Dynasty fought so many wars, and the real results were only half of Nanjun County, which is the size of Hubei Province, and then the territory with a population of 30000. Thirty thousand people were only a small town at that time. War is about food and money. As the old saying goes, if you kill ten thousand enemies, you will lose eight thousand. King Zhao of Qin defeated all the wealth and population accumulated after Shang Yang's political reform, which can be seen from the fact that King Zhuang of Qin and the first emperor of Qin succeeded to the throne, and the people of Qin had problems eating.

It is polite to say that King Qin Zhao has been busy all his life. He is a black sheep of his family.
