Zulong Linming

The core character of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: Grand vision and absolute control: He is the ultimate practitioner of the idea of ​​China's great unification, and his vision transcends the times. He cannot tolerate any division or weakness, and pursues the absolute order of "books with the same text and cars with the same track." Suspicious and violent, resulting in killing: Growing up in the intrigues of the Zhao court made him extremely insecure. He has zero tolerance for betrayal, uses ruthless and decisive methods (such as dealing with the Lao Ai and Lu Buwei incidents), and believes in "heavy punishment for minor crimes" to shock the world. Utilitarianism, abandoning benevolent government: the master of Legalist thought. In his eyes, Confucian morality of benevolence and righteousness is the poison that leads to the weakness of the country. Only law and farming are the foundation of a strong country. A sense of urgency that transcends the times: He has been racing against time all his life, promoting huge projects with extraordinary energy. This sense of urgency stems from his ultimate desire to establish an eternal foundation. The core contradiction of the dilemma in the late Ming Dynasty (Chongzhen Dynasty): Internal and external troubles, financial collapse: the peasant armies of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong swept across the Central Plains, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria were watching eagerly from outside; the national treasury was empty, and most of the "three rates" levied were collected by bureaucrats. Internal strife within the party and a rigid system: the civil service group (the Donglin Party, the remnants of the Eunuch Party, etc.) Were trapped in a factional dispute, and the emperor's decrees could not leave the Forbidden City. The huge gentry class resisted any fundamental reforms for their own interests. Information black hole, monarch and ministers are suspicious: Chongzhen himself was incapable and suspicious. He changed his position fifty times in seventeen years, and killed countless governors and governors (such as the unjust killing of Yuan Chonghuan), which caused the monarch and his ministers to be alienated. No one could use him and no one could trust him.
