Meng Tian was born in a noble family and had great ambitions since childhood. In 22 1 BC, Meng Tian was made a general, attacked Qi, became a literature and history, and won the favor of Qin Shihuang. At that time, he and his younger brother Meng Ke were called "loyal ministers".
After the reunification of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to attack the Huns in the north. Recovering the land in Henan (now in Ordos City, south of Hetao, Inner Mongolia), leading the army to build the Great Wall of Wan Li and Kyushu Straight Road, which overcame the dilemma of domestic traffic congestion.
It has greatly promoted the economic and cultural exchanges and integration of the people of all ethnic groups in the north. In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang died of illness, and CRRC ordered Zhao Gao to secretly plot a coup with Prime Minister Reese and son Hu Hai. After Hu Hai acceded to the throne, the Montessori brothers were allowed to die, and Meng Tian committed suicide by swallowing medicine. Meng Tian has been stationed in nine counties for more than ten years and is known as "the first warrior in China". It is said that Meng Tian once improved the writing brush, so he is also called "the ancestor of writing brush". He was the earliest developer in northwest China and the first person to develop Ningxia in ancient times.
2. Tian Lei
The Warring States Policy is a work of national history. It mainly describes the political opinions and strategies of strategists in the Warring States period, and shows the historical characteristics and social features of the Warring States period. This is an important book for studying the history of the Warring States. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang compiled thirty-three articles, the topics of which were also drawn up by Liu Xiang. Ceng Gong made up for the deficiency in the Song Dynasty. There was a high lure note in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is incomplete today. Song Baobiao changed the order of the original book and made new notes. As a proofreading note, Wu Yuan's book has a supplementary note for the present, and a new note for the Warring States policy for the present.
In the Battle of Yi Que, 250,000 people were killed in the allied forces of Korea and Wei. Attack Chu three times, attack the capital of Chu, burn its ancestral temple, and annihilate 350,000 Chu troops. Attack Zhao and annihilate 700,000 Zhao troops (including the battle of Changping). Attack Korea and destroy Wei, and annihilate two hundred thousand.
Tian Lei wiped out 654.38+650,000 troops from six countries in his life. Tian Lei led countless battles in his life, and fought among the six countries with the strength of Qin. During this period, 6.5438+0.65 million troops of the six countries were wiped out, and more than 70 large and small cities in the six countries were captured.
Moreover, his ability made him invincible in that war-torn era. He can be said to be the most outstanding general in the history of China, and also the most outstanding general in the Warring States period. He became famous after more than 30 years in the battlefield, and the six armies were frightened of him. He contributed to the great cause of Qin's reunification. In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu commented on the Warring States Policy, saying that "the inheritance of the Emperor of Qin is in vain."
3. Shang Yang
An important aspect of Shang Yang's political reform is the implementation of the rule of law, which is characterized by heavy sentences for minor crimes and severe penalties. He pioneered the law of sitting in a row. Why do five families and ten families monitor and report to each other? Those who committed crimes were beheaded, and those who hid were punished as severely as those who surrendered to traitors. Anyone who fights will be punished according to the seriousness of the case.
Those who specialize in industrial and commercial profits instead of farming and those who are greedy because of laziness have been arrested, and their wives are not government slaves. Shang Yang's political reform was implemented for one year, which was strongly resisted by the government and the people. The people went to Beijing to "petition" against the new law. Shang Yang believes that the new law is difficult to implement because there are people on it.
When the prince broke the rules, Shang Yang wanted to punish the prince and set an example for him, but "the heir of the prince had to be punished", so he had to take the money of the prince's teacher, Gongzi, and Gongsun Jia, the teacher of the prince, as a cushion and put the money to death (and then flogged), and Gongsun Jia was flogged. This move is so clever that gradually no one dares to openly oppose the new law. Those subjects who thought the new law was bad also agreed, but Shang Yang confirmed that they were "disorderly people" and sent them all to the border town. Later generations dare not discuss the order.
Shang Yang, as the prime minister of Qin State, vigorously promoted forced political reform, and had deep grievances. Zhao Liang, a man of insight, once condemned Shang Yang, tortured the people by cruel means, buried hidden dangers and listed Shang Yang's unpopular practices. Zhao Liang bluntly warned Shang Yang: One day, the King of Qin will punish you, and your death is just around the corner. The heartfelt words were ignored by Shang Yang.
4. Wang Jian
Among the four famous generals in the Warring States Period, Lian Po was too old to be trusted by the monarch, so he was not reused and remained silent for life. Li Mu was covered in blood and spilled all over the battlefield, but he was turned upside down and committed suicide; Tian Lei is famous in both ancient and modern times. He contributed to Gao Zhen and was granted death by the emperor. Most of these four famous soldiers died of the suspicion of the monarch. Only Wang Jian died a fair death, and I have to admire Wang Jian. It seems that Wang Jian is not only a savage who can only fight.
Wang Jian not only made military achievements, but also guessed the emperor's heart. Wang Jian was unknown in Qin Dynasty and King Zhuang of Qin Dynasty, and didn't emerge until Qin Shihuang's time.
In the early days of Qin Shihuang's rule, he mainly devoted himself to dealing with Zhao, which was the most difficult bone to chew. At this time, Zhao's generals Li Mu, Li Mu and Wang Jian were evenly matched. After the two sides arrived, they set up their own positions, but they were not in a hurry to attack, so they were exhausted. The Zhao army led by Li Mu and Wang Jian had no chance to take advantage of Zhao. On the contrary, this deadlock will only make the problem worse and worse.
At this time, in order to defeat Zhao, Wang Jian adopted the double agent Li Xin. He first communicated with Li Mu and made up. Li Mu naturally wanted a truce, so they kept in touch. Wang Jian bribed Zhao Wang's confidant with a large sum of money to falsely accuse Li Mu of rebellion with Qin Jun. Zhao Wang believed it, sent someone to replace Li Mu, and motioned Li Mu to commit suicide. Li Mu was killed like this. And this war is of course Wang Jian's victory.
5. Zhang Han
The ratio of torturers to slaves in Lishan met Zhou Wenbu, a rebel in Chen Sheng. They won many battles and made Qin Ting survive. And gradually destroy Xingyang rebel Tian Cang and other departments as Chen, forcing Chen Sheng to hide. After killing the leaders of the anti-Qin armed forces, Tian Fen and Xiang Liang, they crossed the river to attack Zhao. Zhang Han, the last famous soldier in the Qin Dynasty, led a group of prisoners and swept the Kanto with one army, almost saving the empire from peril.
He failed for the first time, Xiang Yu rose and the Qin Dynasty perished. The second failure, Liu, Chu and Han contended. After his failure, a new model began. He could have turned the tide and become a mainstay. But in the end, it became a stepping stone to the new force. I was pawned twice (if Zhang Han had read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he would have shouted this sentence twice before he died).
