Chapter 237: Qin Ye, the Qin of the clan, is not the world
"What result?" Yingcheng was puzzled.
"Huh!" Wang Ben showed a hint of cruelty, "If the military order is not issued, millions of soldiers are like snakes hidden in winter, and when the military order is issued, millions of soldiers are dragons going to sea!" ”
"Shangluo, the mall should be a rebel, get naked, go out of the city, and kneel down!"
Yingcheng exclaimed: "This is impossible, the people of Shangluo, whether it is Chu or Shiyi, are all the people of my Qin State." ”
Wang Ben smiled: "When the prison country ordered Chen Bingyao Pass to block Wuguan, it was not for the people of Shangluo and Shangdi. ”
"In the military, there is no ambiguity, black and white, and there is no one who is not separated."
Yingcheng was horrified in his heart and glared angrily: "Shangluo, Shangdi has not rebelled yet." ”
Wang Ben shook his head and said: "No, whether to rebel or not to rebel is by no means judged by the behavior of the people, and the one who can judge the rebellion of the people is the prison country, Your Majesty, the garrisons everywhere, and the last general." ”
"If a ranger is dissatisfied with a county official and kills him, should his behavior be defined as rebellion or criminal?"
"Since it should be handed over to the court lieutenant to deal with, the killing of a county official is not enough to mess with a place, and a ranger is not enough to mess with a place."
"After the death of the county official, the people here did not listen to the imperial court orders, went their own way, and even organized their own military affairs, and they were in chaos, which is what the Taiwei Mansion needs to deal with."
"Tingwei handles, the court needs to reappoint the county magistrate, appease the people, and stabilize this place, Tingwei needs to investigate and collect evidence, and arrest this ranger."
"Taiwei's Mansion deals with it, there is only one criterion, wherever the troops are sent, all eyes are rebellious, those who dare to use swords and soldiers, die, those who dare to disobey military orders, die, those who dare to obstruct the military, die, kill inexhaustible, until no one dares to disobey the imperial court decree here."
"This is the military and the government."
"In the government of the court, the imperial court seems to include the Taiwei Mansion, but in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is the imperial court and the Taiwei Mansion."
"The imperial court, including the three dukes and nine kings."
"Taiwei Mansion, including Taiwei, the three protectors."
"When maintaining stability in the world, the imperial court is the head, and the Taiwei Mansion is the auxiliary."
"And when there is a war, the Taiwei Mansion is the head, and the imperial court is the auxiliary."
"The Qin State was built on white bones, and in the hundred-year-long war with the Six Kingdoms, it was the military state that ruled the world."
"Since Your Majesty ruled the world, it has been bounded by land, and each of the forty-two counties has garrisons, and a political and military system has been established.
"Chaos is rebellion, rebellion is the roaring public, the roaring crowd is not listening to the imperial court decrees, and there are many people who do not listen to the imperial court decrees, there is no specific definition, but they are all determined by the Taiwei Mansion and His Majesty."
"That is, if a township enters the mountains as a bandit, it can be a rebellion or a conformity."
"And the judgment of rebellion and obedience to the people is determined by Your Majesty, and now it is up to the prison state."
"Rebel and destroy it with soldiers."
"Obey the people and use politics to appease them."
"And now, the prison country is using troops to go to the army, so the people are plotting rebellion to exterminate."
"And if the prison country sends officials to administer, then this is to pacify the people."
"From the matter of the prison country ordering the Taiwei Mansion to send troops with a military order, Guanzhong, now headed by the Taiwei Mansion, all political affairs must be conceded to the Taiwei Mansion."
"This is the rule of the military administration of the Qin State."
"And this is the power that Your Majesty has given you to the Prison Decree."
"However, this order can be issued by you, and it will never end by you, even Your Majesty cannot stop it, and this is the purity of the military order."
Yingcheng's head was buzzing.
A blank slate.
Can be outside the door.
But Wang Ben's cold command voice had already sounded: "Wang Feng listened to the order and led a thousand horsemen to explore the road." ”
"The general guard will take Su Chuan into custody and interrogate him, why he sat back and watched the rebellion on the ground and did nothing, which led to a military disaster."
"The herald Xin Sheng, if it is not until noon, he will not be spared."
Winner rushed out of the room in horror.
Look around.
He opened his mouth.
But he was speechless.
Suddenly.
He felt so powerless.
Because the situation is out of control.
He summoned Wang Ben with a command.
But he couldn't control Wang Ben.
Or rather.
From the beginning to the end, he did not have control of the Great Qin military.
Even if he is now ordering Wang Ben as a prisoner.
Wang Ben didn't listen to him now.
Even if he exempted Wang Ben from the protector of the country, the problem was that all he could issue was a will, and the 60,000 troops still obeyed Wang Ben's orders, not his prison orders.
All this is because he has already issued a military order, and this military order, until the results are achieved, Wang Ben will not stop.
"Back to Xianyang!"
Yingcheng made a sudden decision.
I didn't dwell on the matter anymore.
The matter of going to the court is no longer something he can control.
Something went wrong.
Something went wrong.
This question was repeated countless times in his mind.
Suddenly.
He felt that in the seven or eight years of studying the Qin State, he had overlooked an extremely important issue that could not be ignored.
And this question.
It is the reason for the real demise of the Qin State.
What is the contradiction of the cruel officials and strict laws, what is the contradiction of the noble and noble, what is the contradiction of the people, what is the contradiction of the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, in the face of this issue, it is not important, it is not important at all.
"The old minister visits the Great Law Order."
As soon as they returned to Xianyang Palace, Li Si, Feng Qujian and others hurriedly greeted them.
Yingcheng ignored it.
The horse rushed to the Taiwei Mansion.
"What's going on?" Feng Qu asked puzzled.
"I don't know, it looks like something isn't quite right." Li Si shook his head and hurriedly chased after him.
Rumble!
Yingcheng dismounted and plunged into the Dalu Mansion, facing the surprise of the generals in the Dalu Mansion, Yingcheng ignored it, but angrily reprimanded: "Bring all the military orders recorded in the Taiwei Mansion." ”
"This!" Wang Shu, the chief of the Taiwei Mansion, came up strangely and was blinded by Yingcheng's order.
"What, do you think I don't have the right to check it?" Yingcheng asked coldly.
Li Si and Feng Qu, who came in a hurry, stood at the door panting, and heard Yingcheng's angry questioning, swallowed a mouthful of spit, Li Si retreated in shock, and said with shocked eyes: "Quick, find out what happened in Yaoguan." ”
"Go find the black-armored guard guarding the Great Law and ask what happened."
"I have a bad premonition, and my right eyelid jumps wildly." Feng Qujian muttered dullly.
Inside the Captain's Mansion.
Wang Shu also replied in confusion: "I don't dare, but there are many military orders in this Taiwei Mansion, and I don't know where and when the military orders will be obtained from the Great Law Order, and what they are about." ”
Yingcheng said in a dull voice: "Since Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, all the remaining military orders of the Taiwei Mansion. ”
"This, I'm afraid there are countless of them." Wang Shu couldn't help but reply.
"All moved, I want to see it." Yingcheng said coldly.
Wang Shu didn't know what Yingcheng was going to do, but he could see it, and replied: "The last general will obey the order." ”
said.
Wang Shu beckoned and sent the military officials of the Taiwei Mansion to move the military order, "Since the first year of Wang Zheng's move, the prison country has been moving until the order to stop." ”
Although he didn't know what Yingcheng wanted to do.
But.
The bamboo slips that filled ten rooms were by no means something that ordinary people could look at.
Yingcheng sat in front of a huge map of the world in a low voice, and after waiting for a while, the military order that had been sealed was carried up.
I picked one up and saw that 'the king's order, Meng Fu is about to attack Wei Juan City, the first year of the king's reign, and the third day of the fourth month of the summer. ’
"The city is fixed, the city is slaughtered for three days, and the fifth month is the tenth day."
"The king's order, reprimanding the atrocities of Mengfu, demoting him to a pawn, returning to the dynasty with the class, and rectifying the military system."
"The king's command, strict military discipline, rectification of military affairs, entry into the enemy's territory, shelter the people, do not abuse grain, do not dig graves, do not cut down trees, do not burn accumulation, do not burn houses, do not take six animals, get the people to serve and return to them, in order to show their likes and dislikes, faith and people's expectations, in order to seize the enemy's funds."
"In June, Wei Fuke rolled up the city."
……
"The king's order, Duke Qi will attack Wei Juan City, Meng Fu will attack Han, the second year of the king's reign, and the third day of summer and April."
"Roll up the city and behead 30,000."
"Twenty-four cities of Khan."
"The king's order, reprimanding the atrocities of the Duke of Lu, and demoting him to a pawn."
"In June, Wei Zhao Han Chuyan attacked Qin, beyond the river."
"The king's order, order Meng Fu to attack Wei, and Duke Qi to resist the alliance of the five countries."
"In October, the minister conquered Hedong and pointed directly at Daliang."
"Xinlingjun returned to help, and the ministers suffered from the enemy, please retreat."
"The retreat of the five-nation coalition forces is in danger."
"The king's order, Wang Yi is the general to attack Zhao."
……
Yingcheng glanced at the military order with ten lines.
He knew that this was a record of Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao, which was a matter of King Zhaoxiang's time, but after the frequent change of monarchs in the Qin State, a series of military affairs were triggered.
The Five Kingdoms Coalition withdrew its troops, and Qin launched an attack on Zhao, while Wei was at both ends, and Xinling Jun killed Wei General Jin to save Zhao, forcing Qin to withdraw his troops.
In this great war, the Qin State was defeated back several times.
At this stage, it is still the period of Li Mu and Lian Po.
It was also a period after Lü Buwei came to power, in the face of the tyrannical war of the Qin army, he strictly enforced military discipline and advocated no longer relying on the first-level meritorious service.
All these orders were actually led by Lü Buwei, and had nothing to do with the First Emperor.
It wasn't what he wanted to know, and he knew these things.
What really shook him was the military order.
Extremely concise and clear military orders, reinstated.
There is no record of specific battle damage, and there are no reports of killings.
Come and go.
All military orders are strictly executed in the three basic ways of doing things: orders, soldiers, and lines.
There is no vertical and horizontal alliance, let alone a strategic discussion.
After the king's order was issued, the leading generals had enough autonomy as long as the result was achieved.
This.
It did not change because of Lü Buwei's military reform.
In the subsequent military merit counting, in the military newspaper report, the overall planning was added.
Chen Mengfu attacked thirteen cities in Han and beheaded 10,000.
Chen Mengfu attacked 20 cities of Wei and beheaded 20,000.
And in the eighth year of the reign of the king, an incident occurred, the Cheng Chan rebellion.
The king ordered, Cheng Chan was the general to attack Zhao, and the third day of April in the summer of the eighth year of Wang Zheng.
Cheng rebelled against Zhao, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xianyang, anxious.
The king ordered, Wang Jian in order to put down the rebellion of Cheng Chan and capture Cheng Chan alive.
In the same year, Chang Poison was sealed as a long letter.
In the ninth year of Wang Zheng, he poisoned the three battalions of Xianyang, supported the Xianyang defenders, and was in chaos.
"Chang poisoned the rebellion, it was the Queen Mother, the beginning of Lü Buwei's downfall, that is, the eleventh year of the First Emperor, the First Emperor completely mastered the military and political power of the Qin State and deposed Lü Buwei."
"This year is a year of turmoil in the Qin State, and it is also a year of stability in the Qin State, and since the eleventh year of the First Emperor, Great Qin has begun an incredible road to hegemony, all the way unstoppable, as if it is open."
"After the First Emperor came to power, there was not a single internal rebellion in the more than ten years of his reign, and since the First Emperor ruled the world, there has not been a single internal rebellion in the eight years of his reign."
"This means that the military of the Qin State has undergone earth-shaking changes after the first emperor took over."
"From a historical point of view, Lü Buwei's governing philosophy is more like the road of capital, based on business travel, carrying out primitive accumulation. The difference is that Lü Buwei's ruling was based on the people's nature and implemented the Minmu thought, which was closer to the Han Confucian thought, that is, at this stage, the industrial and commercial agriculture of the Qin State had achieved explosive development. ”
"Militarily, Lü Buwei practiced the strategic idea that military relies on politics, and the purpose of military affairs is to achieve political goals."
"Wang Ming, Wang Qian, Yang Duanhe, and Huan Qi each led 100,000 troops to attack Zhao."
"It was at this stage that Wang Ben, Li Xin, Xin Sheng, Meng Wu, and Qiang sprung up like mushrooms, and made many miraculous achievements in the war against Wei, laying the foundation for the existing military generals of Qin."
"In October, Li Mu was the general, and he resumed the battle in Yi'an and Feixia, and Huan Qi had the king's order, was defeated, and ran back."
"The king ordered, Wang Ben was the general, commanded 100,000 troops, re-attacked Yi'an, and fattened. In the 14th year of the reign of the king, he looked at the 10th day of November. ”
"Han Fei said in the middle of the Han Dynasty: King Qin is unwilling to eat and drink, and he is not happy to travel, and he intends to focus on Zhao."
"This is the thirteenth year of Xin Sheng's defeat of Zhao General Hu in Pingyang, beheading 100,000 Zhao troops, Xin Sheng was worshiped as the general of Zhao and led a battalion."
Yingcheng glanced at the military orders of the Taiwei Mansion.
But a chill gradually rose in my heart.
Undoubtedly.
Lü Buwei's military strategy is correct, and he also believes that the military thinking mentioned by Lü Buwei is a strategic thinking aimed at achieving politics, and this is the basis for unifying the world.
Therefore, in the process of conquering the Six Kingdoms, the policy of reassuring the people is extremely correct without the purpose of killing.
But.
If you compare the exchange of military orders during the reign of Lü Buwei and the reign of the First Emperor.
An extremely serious problem will be found.
The First Emperor almost completely abandoned Lü Buwei's military thinking.
And began to transform the military system.
Expand the strength of the army in a large area, and in the conquest after battle, whether it is a military family or a military pawn, as long as you make meritorious service, you will be promoted, as long as you are promoted, you must command the army, as long as you command the army, you must pay homage to the general.
And in this way, the military power of the Qin state rose sharply.
And this also led to the fact that in such a lavish reward, there were many generals who only had titles but did not have actual titles.
This was gradually restructured into a military system in which the commander of the army was directly appointed by the general as the commander in chief to carry out the conquest of the army.
These lieutenants.
It is a general who was promoted by the First Emperor in one battle after another.
This is a subtle change, and there is not even a specific military order to ask for it.
And in this subtle way, the frequent beating of the generals has formed the consensus of all the generals.
And this is one of them.
The biggest change.
Regarding the disposition of the defeated generals, among the entire military generals of the Qin State, including Wang Ben, in the process of conquering the Six Kingdoms, they were all defeated.
And after the defeat.
Whether it was a small defeat or a big defeat, including the burial of 200,000 Qin army generals like Li Xin.
The first thing the First Emperor did was not to punish the generals, but to raise troops to attack again.
After Li Xin's defeat, the first emperor actually transferred him to Longxi to prepare for the establishment of the Southern Expeditionary Army, commanded 30,000 new troops, and after that, he followed Wang Jian to participate in the battle to destroy Chu.
For more than ten years, if you are defeated, you will fight again, and if you are defeated again, you will continue to fight, and you will continue to fight again and again until you conquer it.
From the eleventh to the twenty-sixth year of the reign of the king.
The Qin state never stopped fighting for even a year, and fought outside the territory with half of its troops.
"Gollum!"
Yingcheng couldn't help but swallow a breath of cool air.
I don't know if I don't research.
A study was shocking.
From such an exchange of military orders, perhaps no one noticed, or even noticed, that the Qin State had already embarked on a road of no return.
The demise of the Qin State was doomed.
It is irreversible.
Even he didn't realize that the State of Qin had long been fasces on the road of extreme authoritarianism!
It began with the first emperor desperately waging war to unify the six kingdoms.
Beginning with the First Emperor toppling the scales of reward and punishment.
From the time when the First Emperor dragged the life and death of the Qin State and fought to the death with the Chu State.
The empire was doomed to fall back into the feudal system.
Because.
The relationship between the Qin State and the Six Kingdoms was not that between King Wu of Zhou and King Shang of Shang.
The state of Qin has become an extreme individualism, forming a militaristic system, and even deviating from the Shang monarch's policy of cultivating the state and becoming a militaristic dictatorship.
And this.
With the addition of the yellow robe, the centralization of power in the world is an inevitable situation.
"Such a weakened version of the militaristic system appeared during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the early Tang Dynasty, and the early Ming Dynasty."
"Better than a moment."
"However, such a country cannot even be called a state, but a militaristic body dominated by military force."
This empire is also about immortality.
This empire also emphasizes slavery except for the Qin people, and the Qin people have an extremely strong sense of superiority.
This empire is a religion of violence.
This empire is also dominated by 'supreme imperial power'.
This empire, too, follows the law of the jungle.
This empire also has an extremely terrifying military industry.
This empire is full of the expansive nature of foreign aggression.
The real most uncontrollable factor in this empire is not the nobles, not the people, not the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but the military, this militaristic system.
"I lit the fire, but I couldn't control it."
Yingcheng murmured in a low voice.
It seems that it was only at this time that he understood how ...... the heart of the First Emperor was Helpless.
From the beginning of the cultivation of the national policy.
The state of Qin was destined for a path of continuous expansion
After the reign of the First Emperor, he pushed this path of continuous expansion to the point where there was no turning back.
"Perhaps, that imperial grandfather understood many years ago that he couldn't die!"
"Heh, Qin Ye, the clan Qin, is not the world!"
"Perhaps, it is the 1.5 million soldiers of the Qin State who will really destroy the Qin State."
