(Tang-× Bai: The King of Qin swept across the world, looking so majestic! He waved his sword to cut through the clouds, and all the princes came to the west!)

What a majestic poem!
Ying Zheng liked it and praised: "Colorful!"

[Li Bai's fan!]

[Li Bai has appeared, but where is my Du Fu?]

Du Fu looked up, ah, calling him?
[To annex the six kingdoms in just ten years was naturally conditional.

"Exerting the remaining strength of six generations", King Zheng of Qin completed the great cause of unification on the basis of the foundation left to him by the ancestors of the Qin State.

The wealth and strength of Qin since the reforms of King Xiaogong and the expansion of territory since the reigns of King Hui and King Zhao made it an inevitable trend for Qin to annex the rest of the world.

After King Zheng of Qin ascended the throne and took charge of the government, Qin already had the material conditions to unify the world.

Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang raised his cup and laughed: "Shang Jun, reform the country and strengthen it. I have accomplished it!"

Shang Yang responded with the same laugh.

Reform was his lifelong pursuit, and when he learned that he would succeed in the future, he could not contain his joy.

King Huiwen of Qin, Ying Si, clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

Although he executed Shang Yang, the content of the reform was still implemented in Qin State. He knew very well whether the reform was good or not.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Yingji, became more eager to see his great-grandson.

[There is a voice saying that the reason why Emperor Qin Shi Huang was able to destroy the six kingdoms was because the time had come. Even if it was not him, there would be other Qin kings who would become the "First Emperor."

But we must know that although Qin had the material conditions to annex the six states, to turn the objective possibility into reality undoubtedly depends on the decision makers.

Therefore, King Zheng of Qin must make correct strategic decisions and make hard efforts and pay a huge price in their implementation.

In this devastating war, the Qin soldiers experienced several thrilling and bloody battles.

Facts have proved that the strategic decisions made and implemented by the leadership group headed by Qin Wangzheng did not make the blood of the soldiers shed in vain.

[This kind of person doesn't like facts, but likes assumptions.]
[Although the Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation, its significance in history is very great.]
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, and still felt suffocated when he heard that the second emperor had died. Which son ruined his Qin Dynasty?

As long as Tianmu didn't reveal the answer, he would feel that all his sons were an eyesore.

Fusu's face turned pale, and he felt cold in his heart when he read the words "The Second Emperor Died".

[First, the policy aspect.]

The strategy of "making friends with distant states and attacking nearby states" proposed by Fan Ju during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin was still followed and developed during the reign of King Zheng of Qin. The strategy proposed by Dun Ruo, Wei Liao and Li Si to bribe the dignitaries of the six states with a large sum of money to alienate the rulers and ministers of the six states was a development and supplement of Fan Ju's "making friends with distant states and attacking nearby states", which removed many obstacles for Qin to conquer the six states.

Ying Ji laughed and said, "Ying Hou's strategy of 'making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones' has helped me defeat many other countries. I didn't expect that it would also help Zheng Er a lot."

Fan Ju was both surprised and happy. He had always been wary of Bai Qi's great achievements and was about to do something, but he didn't expect that future generations would still know his name, Fan Ju. Now that his name has been recorded in history, he has to act more cautiously, lest he leave a bad reputation.

[Similarly, the pattern of commoner generals and ministers, with the main feature of making use of foreign officials, was initially formed in the late period of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and was fully established during the reign of King Zheng of Qin.

The main signs were the effectiveness of Li Si's "Remonstrance Against Expelling Aliens" and a large number of civil and military officials under King Zheng of Qin.

From the policy aspect, it provided guarantee for the victory of the war to annex the six countries. 】

Li Si stood beside Qin Shihuang, thinking of the situation at that time, and became even more grateful for His Majesty's appreciation of him.

【The second is the military aspect.】

Han was the "throat of the world". The Qin army was heading east to annex the world, and Han was a must-pass place. At the same time, it was the weakest of the six countries. Qin had long been capable of destroying Han.

However, the Qin State believed that if the Han State was destroyed too early, the three states of Zhao, Wei and Chu would unite to fight against the Qin State, so it had to first deal necessary blows to the stronger Zhao, Wei and Chu armies.

The decision to abandon Han and attack Zhao was proven to be a correct one. The Qin army was defeated by Li Mu of Zhao in 233 and 232 BC, but the Zhao army had been severely damaged. In 231 BC, Wei and Han were forced to give part of their land to Qin.

At this point, the time to destroy the six kingdoms has fully matured. 】

[Of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Qin had Bai Qi and Wang Jian, and Zhao also had Lian Po and Li Mu. However, the monarch of Zhao was not as good as the monarch of Qin, so even if Zhao had famous generals, it would be useless.]
[Bai Qi was suspected of being too proud of his achievements and was sentenced to death, Lian Po died in a foreign land, Li Mu was falsely accused of treason and was killed, only Wang Jian died a good death, and his son and grandson were both reused, so Ying Zheng was not afraid of being overshadowed by his achievements.]
[Bai Qi was sentenced to death by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, but it was my brother Zheng who took the blame (crying)]

[King Zhaoxiang of Qin was the real villain during the Warring States Period. The Great Demon King Yingji was not a lie. My brother Zheng took a lot of blame for him.]
[He carried on the legacy of the sixth generation, and took the blame for the seventh generation.]
The Great Devil himself: ...Ah? Will I kill Bai Qi in the future?

Fan Ju standing aside felt inexplicably guilty.

Bai Qi, who was still on his way, felt heavy in his heart, his face was serious, and the aura around him was even more terrifying.

Lian Po glared when he learned about his future. He was already so old, and it was no wonder that he died in a foreign land. It must be that the upper echelons of Zhao State could not tolerate him.

I'm depreesed.

Li Mu, who was still defending the border against the Huns, felt sad. In such a critical situation, he would be falsely accused of treason. It seemed that King Zhao was surrounded by villains.

In fact, he had something even more unpleasant in his mind: The Qin army is about to reach his doorstep, does the King of Zhao have no brains?
"Bearing the blame for seven generations", Ying Zheng had a premonition in his heart that everything that the unknown Qin II did would not be pinned on him?
[Since the Three Kingdoms divided Jin, among Han, Zhao and Wei, Han had the smallest territory and the weakest strength, and its geographical location was special, so the first target of Qin's conquest of the six kingdoms was Han.

After "abandoning Han and attacking Zhao", Han was forced to offer the remaining part of Nanyang land to Qin. Nei Shi Teng, the "actual governor" of Nanyang County in Han, offered the territory under his jurisdiction to Qin.

In 230 BC, Nei Shi Teng was appointed as Nei Shi by Qin Wang Zheng, who then sent him to lead an army to attack Han.

The Qin army quickly captured the Han capital Xinzheng, King Han An was taken prisoner, and the Han Dynasty was declared destroyed.

The Qin State established the conquered territory of Han as Yingchuan County.

(Jin-× ear: Three families divided Jin?)
Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er: Is it his Jin? Was Jin divided into three parts?

During the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang, who was determined to restore his country, was helpless: The dynasty after the Qin Dynasty seemed to be the Han Dynasty. Is the fate of Korea really over?
