In Chinese history, after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he became the first dynasty in history to complete the unification. And such a powerful Qin Dynasty only existed in the long river of history for more than ten years after the completion of unification. Why didn’t the descendants be able to restore the country?
I believe that you will often see in film and television works that some civil uprising organizations such as the Tiandihui in history rebelled under the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty. This situation will happen in many dynasties that have just established political power, and it is also the most troublesome feudal emperor. Moreover, these organizations mostly take the form of secret sabotage, just like the current terrorist organizations, so that many world powers have nothing to do with them. Then why didn’t the descendants of the powerful Qin Dynasty try to rebel against the country later?
According to historical records, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty was very strong, which can be seen from the fact that they completed the unification with one enemy and six in a short period of time. We have also been moved by the patriotic spirit of those old Qin people who fought against the old Qin and went to the country together, but after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, why did these patriotic old Qin people fail to organize a powerful counterattack?
It turned out that after Qin Shihuang Yingzheng unified the six countries, he did not cleanse the nobles of the six countries who had opposed him, but brought them all to Xianyang, the capital of the country. Instead, those old Qin people who had followed him for many years were scattered and arranged by him to various places. So much so that when the Qin Dynasty was facing a national crisis, these old Qin people could not gather and reorganize quickly to form a team, let alone restore the fighting power of the year.
Qin Shihuang was able to complete the unification that others failed to achieve, and the establishment of the Qin Dynasty was due to its unified laws and good use of troops; and the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty was also due to its failure to deal with the nobles of the six countries. The prestige of these people among the people is not It can be offset in a day or two, and after the unification of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was good at governing the country, which also made the old Qin people lose the motivation to rebel.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world. If the emperor of the Qin Dynasty could be good at complying with the people’s wishes, I believe he would not perish after ruling for more than ten years.
