Chapter 1472: Not as good as the First Emperor

Everyone was shocked. They understand history, analyze history, and learn excellent things from history.

However, Xiang Li Feng's disciples have not analyzed it so thoroughly.

Li Feng continued: "The people of Qin call themselves Qin people, so those who go to the battlefield include men and women, old and young. They are soldiers wearing armor and people wearing commoners.

The weapons they hold in their hands are also different. The ones they use are swords, the ones they use are nuggets, and the ones they use are even hoes or wooden sticks.

After this group of people goes to the battlefield, everyone will think that there is only one fate for them and there is only one outcome of the war.

The reality is also the same, because the equipment is too different, the number of people and combat power are quite different, Qin lost the first battle.

Although the Qin State lost, nearly half of the Wei soldiers were lost. At the same time, the generals of the Wei State and the Wei soldiers saw the Qin army's bravery and fear of death, and felt fear in their hearts.

Everyone knows that on the battlefield, if you are timid, you will definitely lose. As the saying goes, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road.

It is precisely because of this that this battle was witnessed by a person. This person who changed the Qin State was also because he saw the future of the Qin State, so he resolutely went to the Qin State. At this time, it was Shang Yang.

At that time, the king of Qin was Qin Xiaogong, who happened to issue an order to seek talents in the world. Shang Yang's defection made Qin Xiaogong very happy.

Everyone should know about Shang Yang's reforms, and it is because of Shang Yang's reforms that the Qin State became so powerful."

Everyone nodded.

Li Er, Fang Xuanling and other ministers, who doesn't know Shang Yang's reform? This is a real history textbook, telling emperors of all dynasties to use talents.

Songtsen Gampo and others on the side listened with rapt attention. They admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but knew very little about the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty.

First, because books are valuable, ordinary people cannot afford them or use them because paper is very expensive.

Second, it was impossible for books to be transported out of the country at that time. For the imperial court, books were treasures and could not be easily preached to others, especially people from other countries.

The kings of other countries will try their best to obtain Tang books from the Han dynasty, especially military books and books on the art of emperors.

At this time, Li Feng actually talked about this matter, which made them very excited.

Li Feng saw that everyone knew about Shang Yang's reforms, so he continued: "Everyone knows about Shang Yang's reforms, so I won't say more.

Shang Yang's reforms offended many people, but Shang Yang was still alive because Qin Xiaogong always supported Shang Yang.

Therefore, it was not Shang Yang who promoted Shang Yang's reform, but Qin Xiaogong. Qin Xiaogong also lost a lot of interests in Shang Yang's reform, but he always supported Shang Yang's reform, because Qin Xiaogong thought not of himself, but of the entire Qin state.

After the death of Qin Xiaogong, many people arranged charges for Shang Yang and wanted to execute him.

After Shang Yang was captured, the new King of Qin, King Qin Hui, once told Shang Yang that he could protect Shang Yang from death as long as Shang Yang could admit his mistakes and abolish the reform.

But Shang Yang told King Hui of Qin that Shang Yang could die but the reform could not be abolished. Once the reform was abolished, the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed.

In the end, Shang Yang was ordered by King Hui of Qin to have his chariot broken apart and his whole family beheaded.

But what made King Qin Hui, no, it was the thoughts of every king of Qin. They no longer had themselves or their families in their eyes. They only had the Great Qin in their hearts. For the sake of the Great Qin, every king would do something that went against his own conscience.

In the end, Ying Zheng unified the seven countries, and the hundreds of years of chaos in the Central Plains finally came to an end.

However, that's not all. Qin Shihuang also sent General Tu Sui and an army of 500,000 to capture Baiyue, which is now Lingnan. He also sent Meng Tian's army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu.

Tu Sui successfully occupied Baiyue, and Meng Tian also successfully repelled the Xiongnu.

However, although Tu Sui and Meng Tian both won the war, they both knew that as long as they led the army away, Baiyue would still return to its original state. It was impossible for Da Qin to control Baiyue.

The same goes for the Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang. As long as Meng Tian leads his army back to the dynasty, the Xiongnu will resurrect and the people in northern Xinjiang will suffer the disaster of the Huns again.

So they wrote a letter and informed Qin Shihuang of the matter. My father-in-law, Lao Fang, Uncle Wuji, and all the adults here. What do you think Qin Shihuang will do?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Changsun Wuji was the first to speak: "According to historical records, neither Tu Sui nor Meng Tian returned to the court. One of them stayed in the north and the other in Baiyue."

"Yes, that's it. Excuse me, father-in-law, will you let the general hold military power to help you suppress the border?" Li Feng asked.

Li Er suddenly fell into deep thought, can he do it? He probably can't.

Fang Xuanling said at this time: "One moment and another, now it is not the Qin Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty. Now that the world is at peace, there is no need to send large armies to defend the borders."

Du Ruhui also said: "However, without the First Emperor to unify China, we would not be what we are today. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants to have what we are now, so compared with the First Emperor, we are still lacking."

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Du Ruhui is right. I have achieved some achievements, but without the First Emperor to unify China and expand its territory, there would be no Tang Dynasty today.

Compared with the First Emperor, I still lack a lot. Li Feng, you are right, I should give a high evaluation to the Qin Dynasty."

Li Feng nodded and said: "My father-in-law is wise. In fact, apart from these great achievements, what my mentor really admires is the courage of the First Emperor. Apart from such big measures as burning books and humiliating Confucians.

The two orders given by the First Emperor to Meng Tian and Tu Sui are what made them admire Qin Shihuang."

"What orders did Qin Shihuang give them?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Everyone looked at Li Feng curiously, and so did Li Er.

When Li Feng saw everyone looking at him, he immediately said in a deep voice: "After the First Emperor got the letters from the two of them, he wrote a secret summons to them both that day.

Tell them that they have been guarding Northern Xinjiang and Baiyue and are not allowed to come back at any time, even if Da Qin is in danger of annihilation.

In this way, the two strongest armies of the Qin Dynasty were stationed in the north and south.

Because of this, God gave Liu Bang an opportunity to establish the Han Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Tu Sui and Meng Tian wrote another letter to Liu Bang, telling Liu Bang that they were ordered to guard the north and Baiyue, and hoped that Liu Bang could send someone to replace them and not let the First Emperor's efforts be in vain.

So the Han Dynasty occupied Baiyue and resisted the Huns at the border. However, when facing the Huns later, the Han Dynasty actually adopted the policy of peace and marriage at first, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che made the Xiongnu so big that they could no longer raise their heads, and completely destroyed the reputation of the Han Dynasty."
