Chapter 45: Reversing History

Therefore, after the unification of Qin Shi Huang, the regimes of the successive dynasties changed hands and the country changed hands, and the ruling class (mainly the military aristocracy) and the emerging landlord class groups took turns to sit in the village; Or foreign military aristocrats (such as the Yuan and Qing) invaded the Central Plains!

Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who succeeded in the peasant uprising. If it weren www.biquge.info t for the fact that all the Han Chinese and ethnic minorities at that time regarded Meng Yuan as a foreign invader and rebelled against the whole country, and Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation with the help of this force, then Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely still be the Zhu Chongba who hit the bell and chanted sutras, and sometimes stole petty! But after Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, the zombie of feudal autocracy borrowed his body to resurrect his soul!

This is the reason why China has been a feudal society for a longer time than any other country in the world!

Due to the brutal unification of Qin Shi Huang, the catastrophe brought about by the war was national!

The civil war, the war between the rebel army and the princes' separatist forces, and the "emperor" and the "national army" is a "flower" everywhere, killing everywhere in the east, west, north and south! When the capital of Chang'an and Luoyang was fixed, it was the east to the west, and the west to the east! When the capital was Nanjing and Beijing, it was the south to the north, and the north to the south!

Foreign wars are all soldiers and the whole country is a system! Drag the whole of China into the abyss of war!

The Chinese nation, a great nation that was far ahead of all nations in the world at the beginning of its tenacity, has suffered from the tremendous lethality brought about by the wars due to the continuous civil and external wars, resulting in bruises all over its body and struggling to walk, and it has become more and more backward and farther and farther away from the world's powerful nations!

If there was no Qin Shi Huang, a brutal plague god, if we were to take the seven "countries" at that time, with the progress of the society of the times, the wisdom of the leaders of each "country" would also keep pace with the times, and the Great China Federation would be established under the consensus of the descendants of Yan and Huang! Just like now the People's Republic of China is being established on the basis of the autonomy of all ethnic groups!

If this is the case, with the splendid civilization and superior wisdom of our ancestors, who were already ahead of the world, China, a great power, will become a world superpower that is even more American than the United States a few hundred years earlier, if not a thousand years earlier!

Qin Shi Huang - the greatest sinner of 5,000-year-old civilization in China!

In stark contrast to the dictatorial tyrant Qin Shi Huang, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, not only favored China! And it is a blessing to the world······

Yang insisted that after being the emperor, he made great efforts to make the country prosperous, and made great historical contributions in political, economic, legal, military, and cultural construction.

1. He changed the original three-level administrative areas of state, county, and county to state and county level (his son Yang Guang, Emperor Ming of Sui, changed the state to county), and the governor was the assassin and the county magistrate was the county order. As a result, the army has streamlined the administration, laid off a large number of unconscious and mediocre officials, greatly reduced the burden on the state, that is, reduced the people, and improved administrative efficiency! This two-tier system of states and counties was adopted by later dynasties and generations (except that some "changed" the state and county level two to county level two), and continued until the Qing Dynasty.

2. Amend the previous cruel and chaotic criminal law, formulate the "Kaihuang Law", and abolish the original cruel criminal laws such as palace punishment (destruction of genitals), car splitting (splitting the corpse of five horses), and decapitation (hanging the head of a condemned criminal on a flagpole for public display), and also abolish the criminal law of extermination. The "Kaihuang Law" reduced more than 1,000 articles of capital crimes, 54 articles of miscarriage crimes, (relocation) of prisoners, rods (punishment) and other crimes in the laws of the previous dynasty, and retained 500 articles of the law. Punishment is divided into five types: death, exile, imprisonment, rod, and flogging, that is, the feudal five-punishment system. In the fifteenth year of the emperor's reign, it was also stipulated that all cases sentenced to death could only be determined by the "three plays". also specially issued an edict: "The world is a capital crime, and all states must not be executed, and all (national) Dali Temple will be restored." "Strive to avoid the occurrence of unjust, false, and wrongful cases.

Later, the Tang Dynasty's "Tang Law" failed to be a reprint or copycat version of "Kaihuang Law".

The Kaihuang Law has also been copied by East Asian countries when formulating laws.
