Chinese celebrities – Qin Shi Huang

In the 26th year of the First Emperor (221 years ago), after Qin Shihuang completed the great cause of unifying the Central Plains, after a series of preparations, in the 29th year of the First Emperor (218 years ago), Qin Shihuang ordered the general Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 and launched the South The battle of Baiyue, this war was the most difficult and fierce battle of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin army was divided into five routes, one attacking Dongou and Minyue, two attacking Nanyue, and the remaining two attacking Xie. “Huainanzi · Renjianxun” records the difficult journey of Qin Shihuang’s southern expedition to Baiyue: “Make Wei Tu Sui send 500,000 soldiers to the Five Armies… Three years without dismantling the armor and riding on the crossbow, so that Jianlu could not be paid; and he used his soldiers to cut the canal. and through the food channel, and the more people to war, to kill the king vomit West translation called on the song; and the more everyone burst into the book with the animals at the Moken Qin prisoner, with home Jie Chun thought it would, but the night attack Qin, big break, killing Wei Tu Ju, hundreds of thousands of dead in bloodshed, is made a suitable garrison to prepare for it. “Qin Junbing points Rd, the more the city Ridge in northern Guangxi, Hunan and southern Jiuyishan Jiang Xi Nankang and Yugan In other places, march to the Yue ethnic group in Guangdong and Guangxi. Stalemate before and after the war lasted three years.

In the thirty-three years of Emperor Shi Huang (214 years ago), Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo to attack the Baiyue tribes again. The Qin army was like a broken bamboo, and the entire Lingnan area was included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty from then on.

Historical records say that in the pre-Qin period, Lingnan was the land of the savannah and the slash-and-burn clan society. It was not until the Qin Army brought advanced technology to the south that it was integrated into civilization. The Qin Army’s southward journey brought the agricultural technology and advanced culture of the Northern Central Plains, which enabled the Lingnan region to quickly transition from the era of slash and burn to the era of agricultural civilization. The Qin’s attack on Baiyue was an important part of Qin Shihuang’s unification war. It played an important role in promoting the integration of the Central Plains and Baiyue and the development of Baiyue’s society, politics, economy, and culture.

During the Warring States Period, the countries in the Central Plains were busy fighting and had no time to visit the north. The Huns often raid the northern borders of the Qin, Zhao, and Yan countries that bordered it. To relieve the Xiongnu’s threat to Qin, Emperor Qin Shihuang ordered Mengtian to attack the Xiongnu by an army of 300,000.

In the spring of the 33rd year of the first emperor (214 BC), the main force of the Mengtian reign went out of the Great Wall from Shangjun (Junzhifushi, south of Yulin City, Shaanxi) to the north and attacked the east; it is west. The Huns fled. Qin then took the land of Henan (south of the Wujia River in Inner Mongolia and the Ikezhao League). 44 counties were set up along the river and settled down. Because Hun continues to attack, the fall of the following year, the emperor complex life Penpower army crossed the Yellow River and north, take high-Que (central Inner Mongolia Wolf meter blue Yamaguchi), captured the Yangshan (Hebei Wolf, Yin), North false (Ukraine Mountain and river area to the south of the Jia River). The Huns were defeated and migrated north. To consolidate the Henan region, the Qin Dynasty established Jiuyuan County (the prefecture governed Jiuyuan, northwest of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia). This counterattack eliminated the intrusion and destruction of the Xiongnu aristocracy, and “received the land of Henan”, so that the vast areas in and out of the current Hetao, north, and south of the river, were freed from the disaster of the military calamity in a fairly long period of time.

At the same time as the Northern Expedition of the Huns, the court moved to a large number of prisoners, “Shizhichu County”. The first emperor’s thirty-five years (212 years ago) further increased the number of people migrating to the border. In addition to the extermination of prisoners, the general public is encouraged to move to the border areas. For example, in the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Shi (211 years ago), 30,000 people moved from the inland to Beige and Yuzhong to settle down at one time. Anyone who went there would be worshipped at the first level. These relocated people and prisoners played an important role in the development of the northern frontiers and the enrichment of the armed forces.

To open up the southwest, Qin Shihuang decided to open up the southwest because of the long-term contracts between the people of all ethnic groups in the southwest and the mainland. The faction often leads to the southwestern barbarians. Chang Qian was obstructed by its traffic, and Nai Fazhong excavated a plank road from Yibin, Sichuan to Dianchi Lake in Yunnan. It was named Wuchi Road because it was “difficult” and “the road was only five feet wide”. After the plank road was opened, the forces of Da Qin directly arrived at Qilan, Yelang, Qiongdu, Kunming, and other places, and set up officials here to “set up officials” and set up administrative institutions. At the same time, Qin passed through Shu County, strengthened the ties with Qiongdu, Ruo, and Ran, and brought them into the administrative system of the county system.

Also, Qin Shihuang opened a five-foot road to the southwest, roughly from Yibin, Sichuan to Qujing, Yunnan, controlling the local tribal states and extending political power into the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
