Three Hundred Years of the Qin Dynasty: Weak Qin Was in Desperate Situation and the Empire Was Burned Down

During the Warring States period, when rituals and music collapsed, and various countries competed for hegemony, the western border of Qin was located in a remote corner, which was despised by the princes of the Central Plains. In the battle of Shaoliang, corpses were everywhere. Duke Xian of Qin died with hatred, and he ordered Ying Quliang to take over the mess. There were old nobles who were in power and powerful Wei was looking at them outside. The Qin Dynasty was already standing on the edge of the precipice of national subjugation. Unwilling to sink, he broke through and was reborn. Ying Quliang issued orders to seek talents and recruited scholars from all over the world; Wei Yang entered the Qin Dynasty, took root in the mountains and fields, understood the people's sentiments, and reformed the old with the Legalist approach. He established trees to win the trust of the people, punished and killed to establish power in the dynasty, abolished hereditary inheritance, rewarded farming wars, and promoted counties and counties, and used iron-blooded reforms to drag the weak Qin out of the quagmire and forge the bones of the strong Qin. Then there were many battles, bloodshed on the battlefield, and emperors continuing their careers. Zhang Yilian broke through the alliance and played the chess game of the princes; he started a hundred battles to become a god and settled the world with his killings; Ying Zhengfen, the remaining warriors of the sixth generation, swept the six countries and settled the four seas. However, Legalism was too strict, and under the prosperity of the hegemony, there was endless blood and tears of the common people. The impoverished people were severely tortured, books were burned to imprison their thoughts, and corvee labor was heavy. The Epang Palace, which is thousands of meters long, is full of people's bones. The heroes did not end well, the dynasty prospered but declined. Three hundred years of great Qin wind blew up in Yueyang and died in Xianyang. This iron-blooded epic of mountains and rivers describes the game of kingship, the lone bravery of the Legalists, and the fate of heroes, and understands the eternal game between power and human nature, hegemony and the common people behind the rise and fall of dynasties.
