Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Chapter 751 If Ying Zheng lived longer, could the Qin Dynasty last long?

A new canopy soon appeared.

Tianmu first raised a question.

[If Qin Shi Huang lived ten more years, what would happen to the Qin Dynasty? ]

[Will it perish in the second generation as history has shown, or will it survive the difficult integration stage and become a long-lived dynasty? ]

Outside the sky.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng saw this question, paused for a moment, and then said:

"Let me live ten more years?"

"That's a good thing."

"If I could really live another ten years, I can't say anything else, but at least I could complete most of the transformation that the Qin Dynasty needs to carry out after unifying the world."

"If my reign is extended for another ten years."

"That will be a huge transformation and improvement for the entire Daqin."

"The people of the world and the remnants of the six kingdoms will become more and more accustomed to the rule of the Qin Dynasty."

"In that case, the fate of the Qin Empire will be..."

Ying Zheng originally wanted to say as usual, let the Qin Dynasty last for thousands of years, for hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand generations!
But since the appearance of the sky curtain, Ying Zheng has gradually faced the reality.

It would be good enough for the Qin Dynasty not to perish in the second generation!

Being able to catch up with those dynasties that lasted two or three hundred years later is already top-notch.

So Ying Zheng paused.

Then he said unwillingly and unconvincedly:
"Then the Great Qin Dynasty will last at least 400 years."

After the question was raised on the screen, the author of the video began to tell the story.

[For hypothetical questions like this, each person has his own reasons.]

[But first we must make it clear that even if Qin Shihuang lived another ten years, it would be impossible for the Qin Dynasty to become a long-lived dynasty.]

【Absolutely impossible.】

[This does not mean that Qin Shihuang was incapable. ]

[There is something wrong with the Qin Dynasty's system. ]

[The Qin system itself was flawed.]

【Coupled with the character of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng. 】

[Want to make Daqin a long-lived dynasty? ]

[That is even more difficult.]

[Of course, we are not saying that Qin Shi Huang had no personal ability. ]

[On the contrary, although Qin Shihuang is recognized as a tyrant. ]

[But his personal ability is among the best among all the emperors in Chinese history.]

【To the overall historical development of our country. 】

【Also made a huge contribution. 】

[But even though Qin Shi Huang was powerful, it didn’t mean that no one dared to rebel against him. 】

[Many of us feel that it was after the death of Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi that the people of the country could no longer bear the chaos and started to rebel.]

【Actually, that’s not the case. 】

[Hu Hai, how much harm can he cause? ]

[Well, or maybe Hu Hai hadn't had time to grow into a tyrant who could bring disaster to the world.]

【The Qin Empire is finished.】

[In fact, when Ying Zheng was still alive, heroes from all over the world rose up in rebellion.]

[It’s just that the scale of the protests was not very large, and they were basically suppressed quickly. ]

[The common people can’t survive, so they don’t care if you are Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Taizong of Tang.]

【Rebel when it’s time to rebel.】

[Perhaps, it is indeed possible that after a large-scale rebellion, Qin Shihuang relied on his control over the country and the army. ]

【Use your personal abilities to command the troops and generals from the center. 】

【Command the elite troops of the Qin Dynasty to extinguish the rebel army.】

[Just as Zhang Han almost did in history. ]

[But after extinguishing this wave, won’t there be another wave? ]

[How could the increasingly unpopular Qin Dynasty withstand the attacks of wave after wave of peasant uprisings? ]

[Even if the peasant uprising was basically suppressed. ]

[I am afraid that it will also be like the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which existed in name only. ]

[If Qin Shi Huang had really lived ten more years, the Qin Dynasty might have been able to thrive a little longer.]

[But do you want the Qin Dynasty to be a long-lived dynasty? ]

【That's probably absolutely zero.】

【If Ying Zheng really lived ten more years. 】

[There is a possibility that the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed by Ying Zheng himself, and the Qin Dynasty will perish in one generation. 】

[It’s actually a bit higher… hehe. ]

You can see that the host on the sky screen is chatting happily and smiling.

But outside the sky, the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was furious!
His sword-like eyebrows were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and a cold aura emanated from his whole body.

Seeing this, Li Si took a cautious step forward, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, such absurd remarks are nothing but nonsense from a madman. You must not take them to heart. Under your Majesty's governance, the Qin Empire will have a unified system of wheels and writing, and the nine provinces will be unified. This will surely last for thousands of years."

Ying Zheng did not respond.

The military campaigns that unified the six kingdoms, the intense efforts to build the Great Wall, and the difficulties and obstacles encountered in implementing the new policies flashed quickly through my mind.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

But Ying Zheng knew he had to control his emotions.

Ying Zheng sneered and flicked his sleeves.

"I swept across the world and unified the country. I made the writing system uniform and the wheel gauge standard. I built the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu and the highway to connect the four directions."

"If I can really live longer, the Qin Dynasty will surely last forever."

"How dare this kid from later generations say that the Qin Dynasty will have a short life?"

Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Han and other generals also stepped forward and clasped their fists and said:

"Your Majesty is wise! The Qin army is unstoppable, and the soldiers are loyal to Your Majesty."

"Under your Majesty's wise leadership, anyone who attempts to shake the foundation of the Qin Empire will be crushed!"

……

The whole Qin Dynasty was filled with ashen expressions.

But the host on the stage continued to laugh:

[There were many rebellions when Qin Shi Huang was still alive. ]

[Although Zhang Liang's assassination attempt at Bolangsha failed to kill Qin Shihuang, it did destroy Ying Zheng's secondary carriage.]

[The key is that Qin Chao still couldn't catch the assassin behind the scenes.]

[Xiang Liang, a remnant of the previous dynasty, was involved in many major crimes, including murder and illegal minting of coins.]

【Not only can they get away with it. 】

[Even when he was wanted, he was able to continue to be the local tyrant leader in public with great fanfare.]

[Many local official systems, including those of the Qin Dynasty, also had a shortage of staff and no one was in office.]

[It can be said that Qin State ruled at the grassroots level in the Guandong region. ]

[It was already on the verge of collapse during the reign of Qin Shi Huang.]

【…】

[I also saw many friends say that if Qin Shi Huang lived 10 years longer, the world would still be in chaos.]

[But at least they could retreat to Hangu Pass and preserve the Qin State's base. ]

【But it’s a pity. 】

[I am afraid that even the old territory of Qin cannot be preserved.]

[Because at that time, it wasn’t just the people of the six kingdoms, but the so-called remnants of the six kingdoms who hated the Qin Dynasty.]

[That's because the people of Qin no longer like Qin.]

[We have had enough of the Qin Dynasty's rule.]

[In the past, there was a military merit system that gave people something to look forward to.]

[The military merit system has also collapsed. ] [Following the Qin Dynasty, you will go hungry for three days and do corvée labor all the time.]

[Who can bear to only eat bitterness and not meat? ]

[So the so-called old Qin is happy to welcome Pei Gong...]

[It can be seen that after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, there was not even a force under the banner of reviving the Qin Dynasty. ]

[No one wants to revive the Qin Dynasty.]

[Why, no one pays for it! ]

[You said you want to revive the Qin Dynasty? ]

【Then the local people will kill you first. 】

【You see, after the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties were destroyed, there were many forces that wanted to inherit their names to resist and restore their countries.】

[Or borrow their names to win people’s hearts. ]

[Even the Jin Dynasty had a certain appeal. ]

【Our Qin Dynasty did not have this. 】

[This shows that the common people do not like the Qin Dynasty and no one wants to continue to follow it.]

【With the loss of popular support, the Qin Dynasty was on the edge of a cliff.】

[When the six states in Guandong revolt and the world becomes in chaos, it will be very difficult for Qin to keep its own territory. ]

……

After a long talk, the host finally made a comment.

[Of course, this is just my personal opinion.]

[This is just my inference based on the history books I read and some historical materials I learned.]

[What will the real historical situation be like? No one knows, right? ]

[Picture for fun, hehe...]

……

Barrage:

"When Lu Buwei came to power, he realized that the Qin Dynasty was about to collapse."

"The valiant old Qin welcomes Pei Gong!"

"King of Qin? I'm not familiar with him. I'm with Pei Gong."

"As long as Zulong is alive, no one in the world dares to rebel!"

《Zhang Liang: Oh?》

"Do you think it's fun for Qin Shi Huang to go on tours to the east every day at such an old age?"

"In less than half a year, the Second Qin Emperor had brought chaos to the country. If not Ying Zheng, who should take the blame?"

"When Xiang Yu comes, he will burn Qin Shi Huang to death."

"If he hadn't died, Qin Shi Huang would have been made into sashimi by Xiang Yu."

"If Ying Zheng had died ten years later, the world would still be in chaos, but with Ying Zheng, Li Si, Meng Tian and Zhang Han around, it's hard to say who will win."

"If Ying Zheng had lived, the world would have been in chaos a few years later, and Liu Bang might not have been the winner in the end."

"Yes, Xiang Yu and Han Xin were young, especially Xiang Yu. With the Xiang family's base, his rise was inevitable."

"If Zulong had not died, why would Liu Bang only be fit to build the Great Wall!"

"Cold Fact: When Qin Shi Huang was alive, Liu Bang had already become a bandit in the mountains."

"Catch Zhang Liang first and then blow the whistle."

《Fu Jian: I will revive the Qin Dynasty! 》

"Fortunately, Fusu committed suicide. Otherwise, if he had taken over this mess, his reputation would not be as good as it is now..."

The host Tu Yile in the sky talked about this topic.

Netizens were also discussing it, but outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng was no longer happy.

Similar topics have appeared on Tianmu before.

At that time, Tianmu gave me a great deal of affirmation.

Although the sky curtain at that time also pointed out some problems of the Qin Dynasty.

But at the same time, he highly affirmed the personal abilities of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Ying Zheng felt that the mainstream view of future generations would probably be that the Qin Dynasty had collapsed.

It has little to do with Qin Shihuang, but is mainly due to the mischief of other Qin II emperors in later generations.

If I hadn't died, I would have been able to make the Qin Dynasty develop better. I believe that my descendants in later generations will also think so.

As a result, this section of the sky.

But it severely slapped Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng in the face.

The whole court was silent, and everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

However, Fusu also felt that the sky curtain was a bit exaggerated.

Fusu said secretly in his heart:

"I also think that Daqin has some problems, to the point where it has to change, but the sky curtain says that Daqin Hui will die in one generation?"

"This is too exaggerated..."

"Isn't it possible?"

……

The atmosphere in the Qin Dynasty outside the sky was very solemn, but the other dynasties were all smiling.

Han Dynasty.

When Liu Bang saw that Tianmu had ruthlessly exposed the Qin Dynasty's true colors, he also smiled.

"So, the reason why I killed the white snake and started the uprising was not because I had personal ambitions or wanted to be the emperor or something like that."

"That is to punish the tyrannical Qin."

"I have no choice but to take action to respond to the wishes of the people of the world."

"Speaking of which, the Great Qin's ability to govern the country is really not good enough. How long can the world last?"

"It's like this, people are living in misery."

"Ying Zheng, if you know this in the afterlife, you should watch carefully and learn how the Han Dynasty governs the country."

……

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin saw that even a top emperor like Ying Zheng had extraordinary abilities.

Not only did he go down in history as a tyrant, but later netizens also said he would die in his lifetime.

While I felt thrilling inside, I was also filled with emotion.

"The Qin Dynasty will still be a short-lived dynasty, or even perish in one generation"

"The people are more important than the king..."

Li Shimin frowned slightly and subconsciously thought of this sentence.

"Your Majesty, what is your opinion on this?" Wei Zheng asked respectfully while standing aside.

Li Shimin did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before speaking:
"The rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty was not the fault of the First Emperor alone, but rather the result of a flawed system."

"With harsh laws and harsh punishments, and no mercy and justice, even if the First Emperor lives ten more years, it will only delay the collapse."

Wei Zheng was very happy and nodded:

"Your Majesty's lesson."

"The Qin laws were harsh, and the people could not bear it. The remaining people of the six states did not submit. This was the fundamental reason."

Li Shimin sighed, pointed at the sky and said:

"exactly."

"When I read history books, I often think about how quickly Qin fell."

"I also often think about Yang Guang's loss of the world."

"The failure of the First Emperor was that he did not know how to balance leniency and severity."

"Sometimes I can't sleep at night, fearing that I might make a wrong decision and bring harm to the people."

"The emperor's thoughts affect all the people, how can we not be careful?"

Although Wei Zheng is a troll.

But at this time, he was very impressed and said: "Your Majesty has such a heart, which is much better than the kings of previous dynasties."

Li Shimin sighed, feeling satisfied, but also prayed:
"I hope so. I just hope that when future generations evaluate the Tang Dynasty, they will not say things like 'If Li Shimin had lived ten more years'." (End of this chapter)
