The First Emperor

I once read an opinion that the Qin Dynasty was actually an old kingdom that had lasted for over 600 years. By the time of Qin Shi Huang, it was already nearing its end. The fact that Xiang Liang and his nephew could become prefects and honored guests, and that Qin Shi Huang, encountering bandits near Xianyang, was assassinated by Zhang Liang, leading to a nationwide search that failed to find…

The real First Emperor (unaffected by the time traveler's memories) had a difficult childhood. While life improved after arriving at the Qin Palace, he had to live cautiously, facing attacks from various hidden forces. He could only disguise himself until he became king, thus beginning his legendary life.

Why make a fuss over a little setback? If you're going to get sick, don't be an emperor. If you don't have the guts, don't be ruthless and inscrutable, don't be an emperor. Real emperors are all dirty and shameless. If you're going to be an emperor, be one who enslaves others. Anyone who isn't Chinese can be enslaved, because the Qin Dynasty was a slave society. If a slave died, you could just catch another. Don't say the Qin Dynasty wasn't a slave society; that's bullshit.

My goodness, someone actually said that Chen Sheng's courtesy name made him a nobleman... So, by that logic, Liu Bang also had a courtesy name, so was he also a nobleman?

Looking across the world, who is the supreme ruler? The heavens are clear, the Mandate of Heaven rests with Qin!

I saw it said that making canned goods doesn't require any skills, which is ridiculous. Wrought iron will rust; we usually use tinplate. You couldn't make cans like that in ancient times. You might as well use earthenware jars.

The Great Wall was essential. It served not only for defense but also as a logistical base for the attacking side. With the Great Wall, when the Central Plains attacked the grasslands, the logistics transport within the Great Wall would not be attacked by the grassland forces, greatly reducing the personnel and material costs of the war.

I skipped through a few chapters, and honestly, the protagonist doesn't need to do anything; he can just lie low. The more famous he becomes, the less meaningful it is! As for his personality, young Ying Zheng, having lived through so much hardship from a young age, is likely to be a deep and patient individual—that's the meaning behind the saying "the child at three will be determined at eighty." To be honest, the author didn't quite capture that feel.

Qin Shi Huang's high historical status is partly due to the achievements of the Han Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty's unification of the six kingdoms' writing systems, laws, standardization of cart axles, and standardization of writing were all implemented by the Han Dynasty through several generations of emperors.

I remember reading a novel about the French Revolution a while ago. There was a scene in it, I don't know if it's true, where Napoleon led 500,000 French troops to invade Russia. After capturing Moscow, Tsar Alexander and General Kutuzov were very concerned about Napoleon's movements in Moscow, fearing that he would implement the land policies of the French Revolution in Russia, liberating serfs…
