Biographical resume of Qin Shihuang

Well, the Qin Shihuang we know now was written by later generations based on some historical materials, but the authenticity of these materials is hard to know. His life is not domineering. Even if he is not superior, even if the heir to the throne is a son, it is estimated that he can unify the six countries, but he will not necessarily establish an imperial system and will probably return to feudal society.

Qin Shihuang did some practical things in his life. He was the first emperor in the history of China, but who his father really was has not been decided. If he is Qin Gui's son, he should be called Ying Zheng; If he is Lv Buwei's son, he should be called Zheng Lu. According to his mother's surname, his name should be Zhao Zheng. If he is a fake father from Ai, his name can be Yi Zheng. But none of this matters.

What is important is that the unification of the six countries by Qin is the general trend, but this is not the credit of Qin Shihuang himself. In the past hundred years, the king of Qin has been accumulating national strength and eliminating the main forces of the six countries several times. Only at the Qin Shihuang stage can we compete with the six countries. Even after so many years of accumulation, the war between Qin and Zhao and the war with Chu were not so smooth, especially the war with Chu. If we hadn't fought a war of attrition with Chu for N years in order to destroy other countries and stabilize the rear, it would be uncertain who really won or lost.

The strength of Qin had a lot to do with Shang Yang's political reform, and Shang Yang didn't come to a good end in the end, and was finally killed by the next king of Qin. After he succeeded to the throne, he forced Lv Buwei to death and put down Ai's rebellion. Later, after unifying the six countries, he became emperor himself. It is said that he also called himself "the first emperor", which is why later generations called him "Qin Shihuang". After he unified the six countries, he abolished the enfeoffment system and replaced it with the county system to unify the currency and weights and measures, but at the same time he began to unify the culture, such as burning books and burying Confucianism; But it has also done some good things, such as building the Great Wall and Lingqu. In his later years, in order to seek the elixir of life, he began to abuse the people and stifle their wisdom, which also laid a hidden danger for the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. Later, Qin Shihuang died in Xingtai sand dunes during his crusade.
