In 770 BC, King You of the Zhou Dynasty launched a beacon-fire show on the princes. The great country suffered a disaster and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. Prince Yijiu succeeded to the throne and moved the capital to Luoyi. It is called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history. However, the real great country has existed in name only. There are more than 140 princes in the world. The princes in the world fight with each other and each is king. From then on, chaos reigned.
In 256 BC, the world was dominated by seven kingdoms: Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, vying for hegemony. Among them, Qin was the most powerful after Shang Yang's reform.
In 255 BC, the Qin State led millions of troops to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and captured Jiuding. At this time, there were more than sixty vassal states, large and small, in the world. The relations between countries are complicated and the politics are black and white. As a result, the profession of assassin has developed rapidly. From the beginning, warriors died for their confidants to the current legitimate profession. They are employed by various countries to use various methods, such as assassination or poisoning. As a result, many high-ranking people died for no reason.
Although the world is in chaos, there is still a stalemate. Countries collude with each other and contain each other, so wars start and stop whenever they talk about it. The people were displaced and miserable.
It was not until 246 BC that Ying Zheng, who was only thirteen years old, ascended the throne. In 231 BC, Lu Buwei was killed and took control of the military.
Qin destroyed Han in 230 BC;
Qin destroyed Zhao in 228 BC;
Qin destroyed Wei in 225 BC;
223 BC? Qin destroyed Chu;
222 BC? Qin destroyed Yan;
Qin destroyed Qi in 221 BC.
Ying Zheng destroyed the six countries within ten years and completed his unification and hegemony. He changed his title to the First Emperor and implemented the same system of chariots and tracks, books and texts, and degrees. Burning books, trapping Confucians, and enslaving the world. He went south to pacify Baiyue and went north to expel the Xiongnu. The Central Plains achieved unprecedented unification.
Of course, the people of the six countries are willing to be enslaved by them? Why was Qin Shihuang able to rule the world? Why is Zhao Gao able to dominate the government? Why did Jing Ke fail to assassinate Qin? Who is Qin Wuyang? How many assassins are there in the world? What's so thrilling about being robbed in Lanchi? What's the reason for the meteorite outside the sky? Why did Qin Shi Huang, who was only 48 years old, die in a sand dune?
Let me tell you slowly...
