Chapter 43
[Talk about martial arts, let's talk about martial arts. 】

[As the first king in history to unify the land of China, Qin Shihuang's greatest contribution is actually in the things he did during the six years of unification. 】

[In the past six years, he has done a lot of things that are of great merit in the present and benefit in the future!
But what I'm talking about here is not about building dams or building bridges. Although building water conservancy projects is also a good thing for the benefit of all people, compared with his other contributions, it is really nothing. 】

[First of all, it was Qin Shihuang who single-handedly built the foundation and framework of China's feudal rule for more than 2000 years!You know, when he did these things, he was completely unprecedented, and there was absolutely no place to learn from and refer to.

What's more amazing and unbelievable is that all the decisions he made during these six years were all right! 】

"Wow!!!"

"Your Majesty! You are worthy of being an emperor of all ages!"

"Father is far-sighted and far-sighted, and my son is ashamed of himself!"

【Any event in the past six years is taken out and placed on any emperor in the future. It is a proper credit that can make his name go down in history, but all of these are from the hands of Qin Shihuang alone! 】

[But we also mentioned before that Qin only experienced the second generation before the country perished.

In the history textbook, only the most brilliant achievements were summarized to Qin Shihuang, and then he briefly commented on his achievements, and then began to talk about what a brutal tyrant he was.

To be honest, this is somewhat unfair. 】

[Later generations often compare Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, etc., but in fact they are not in the same class at all. 】

[Su Shihuang should occupy the first file exclusively, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty the second file, as for Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, maybe it was put here just for rhyme. 】

Zhao Kuangyin: "."

Zhao Kuangyin is numb, who did I offend?Why did he have to be pulled out to flog the corpse once?

Zhao Kuangyin's military achievements at the beginning were indeed very strong, but the problem was that he abolished his martial arts after establishing the Song Dynasty, which made the Song Dynasty a big coward, and a group of weak emperors lowered the lower limit of the entire Song Dynasty.

[Qin Shihuang was a disaster, but he laid the foundation for thousands of years. 】

[He made a very great decision, that is, to abolish the seal system and adopt the county system. 】

[Before Qin, the never-ending war in China was actually because of the existence of these Marquis, Kings, and even Emperors!
Therefore, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he decided that he could no longer follow the old way of enfeoffment, so he finally adopted the opinion of Ting Wei Li Si and adopted the county system!]

[It is precisely because of this decision that the Qin Dynasty was able to reclaim the rights of the various regions and temporarily stabilize the regions. 】

[But after all, this is the first time that the world has been mixed together. The languages ​​and characters are different from place to place, and even the gauge of the carriages is not the same.

Although Qin Shihuang temporarily brought them all under his own rule, how can the imperial court's orders be carried out and all regions act in accordance with the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty?This is actually a big problem. 】

【Therefore, Qin Shihuang ordered the use of the same characters, and the same track for cars, and unified the weights and measures, which laid the foundation for the transportation and economic flow of the whole country. 】

[The new characters are based on the characters of the Qin State and synthesize the advantages of the characters of other countries, and use it as a standard of characters, and continue to simplify it.

Cars on the same track make the size of the horse-drawn carts the same, making the transportation between places more convenient, and the same track is conducive to the long-distance transportation of horse-drawn carts.

Unified weights and measures will make the measurement methods of the world the same, making economic communication and exchange more convenient.

These measures of Qin Shihuang are very conducive to the unification of the country and the exchange of economy and culture, so these measures of his also had a profound impact on the emperors of later generations. 】

[It is precisely because Qin Shihuang unified these things that the originally fragmented Chinese land began to slowly produce cohesion. 】

[Although Su Kingdom died in only the second generation, the thoughts and concepts of China's great unification have been deeply penetrated into the bone marrow and heart of every Chinese by him!
It is precisely because of this that Huaxia has also opened up the feudal historical reincarnation of more than 2000 years, that kind of feudal history that has been united for a long time and must be divided, and divided for a long time!]

[For more than 2000 years, no matter whether it was the split of the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jins, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the dark moments of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and no matter how long the split lasted. As long as the Chinese children still exist, they will always Will do everything possible, and do everything possible to bring China back to unity!]

【Emperor Wen Yang of the Sui Dynasty did this, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty did the same, and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty brought the energy of ordinary Chinese people to the extreme!
The unification of China has become the aspiration of the people, and the divided land of China must be reunified no matter what! 】

"Huh! It turns out that our country Qin, our Majesty, is so great!"

"My old Qin man is invincible!"

"Your Majesty is wise, we have misunderstood Your Majesty!"

"However, the Qin law is really strict, and the corvee is really too heavy."

"I hope His Majesty can see the hardships of our people and give us a way to survive!"

[Qin Shihuang's achievements are unprecedented, but his faults are also very prominent. 】

[Mistake [-]: He extorted excessively and extorted money, causing the people's power to be exhausted. 】

[In order to maintain huge military expenditures and engineering construction, the Great Qin Empire experienced a terrible situation of "exhausting all the resources of the world to serve its own government".

As a result of doing so, the people of the Qin State were in dire straits, and the people "clothed the clothes of cattle and horses, and ate the food of dogs", and their living conditions were extremely difficult.

And his negligence in this aspect also laid the groundwork for the collapse of the Great Qin Empire. 】

[Mistake [-]: The Great Qin soldiers were forced to do heavy duty, and the punishment was harsh. 】

[Qin Shihuang spent years building and fighting everywhere, and built the Afang Palace and the Lishan Tomb near the capital, consuming more than 70 people.

It is estimated that the number of people serving in the military at that time was well over 200 million, accounting for more than one-third of men in their prime.

Such heavy military service also suppressed the common people to the extreme.

A great man once said: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance!"

Qin Shihuang's unscrupulous approach to people's livelihood finally forced the people in the Great Qin to rise up one after another, and the Great Qin Dynasty suddenly collapsed overnight! 】

[Mistake [-]: Clamping down on thoughts, burning books and burying Confucianism]

[In order to prevent the people from rebelling, Qin Shihuang also implemented strict ideological control.

For example, he promulgated a ban on books, confiscated and burned books wantonly, and murdered more than [-] Confucian scholars who criticized the government, which is known in history as "burning books and burying Confucians".

Burning books and burying Confucianism not only reflects the brutality of Qin Shihuang, but also greatly destroyed the culture of Chinese civilization. Many valuable works have not been handed down, which is a great loss to Chinese culture.

Although this is also Qin Shihuang's effort to unify his thinking, it has to be said that his methods are a bit too simple and rude. 】

[Generally speaking: Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, attacked the Huns in the north, and conquered Baiyue in the south, laying the foundation for China.

His system reform established the unified management model of the feudal dynasty, established the administrative division of the prefecture and county system, established the national transportation network, and unified the writing, currency, and weights and measures necessary for economic and cultural development.

It can be said that he has made great contributions to the development of Chinese civilization. 】

[On the other hand, for his own selfish desires and his own rule, Qin Shihuang wantonly oppressed the people, burned books and buried Confucianism, which greatly harmed the development of the people and culture. 】

[However, compared to merits and demerits, Qin Shihuang still deserves the evaluation of "one emperor of all ages"! 】
