Chapter 222: The First Emperor, There Is A Broader World In The West

But Qin Shi Huang saw the necessity of building the Great Wall, so what should he do?

Don’t repair it!

The First Emperor may be a benevolent king in history, but for two thousand years to come, the people of the Xia tribe will be in panic under the iron heel of the northern nomads!

Repair! Then we can only concentrate the energy of the whole country to handle this important matter.

At the same time, the construction of the Great Wall must be completed within his term, because as the founding emperor, he had the prestige to do such a thing.

If any emperor after him dared to mention such a thing, the opposition of the people in the world would be enough to make it aborted.

Similarly, whether it is unifying weights and measures, unifying the country's writing and language, unifying the country's thoughts, burning books and humiliating Confucians, these things must be done by the First Emperor, and no future king will have the strength to do such a thing.

Pull out all the thorns of the empire, bear all the blame yourself, and let Fusu bear all the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, then the empire can last forever.

This is why, historically, it is clear that Qin Shihuang hated Fusu and his Confucian ideas.

But he did not prohibit Fusu from learning Confucianism, nor did he abolish Fusu's position as prince.

Because he knows very well that he can be cruel and high-pressure, but his next generation of emperors must be more tolerant.

In this way, he could safely hand over the empire to Fusu's hands.

In later generations, there was an emperor who did the same thing as Qin Shihuang, and that was Zhu Yuanzhang.

The other party was also rated as a tyrant. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he massacred heroes, built the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, killed corrupt officials and literati, and unified the country's thoughts.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang was luckier than the First Emperor, and he lived longer than Ying Zheng.

And he was even more fortunate to have a good successor. Although his son died early and his grandson failed to live up to expectations, he still had a son, Zhu Di.

This allowed the Ming Dynasty to exist for two hundred and eighty years.

During these two hundred and eighty years, who among those literati dared to slander Zhu Yuanzhang?

Two hundred and eighty years later, everyone in the world has recognized the existence of the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was a foreign race that destroyed the Ming Dynasty. People were busy rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and missed the Ming Dynasty. At this time, you will feel that what Zhu Yuanzhang did back then was actually quite right.

Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered much less infamy than Ying Zheng.

But everything the First Emperor did was correct from a current objective perspective.

He abolished the vassal states and implemented the system of prefectures and counties. This system has been used by feudal dynasties for two thousand years.

After Xiang Yu overthrew the Qin Dynasty, he still wanted to restore the feudal state of the vassal states. This was completely reversing the course of history.

In the end, the people of the world were in dire straits, and everyone suddenly discovered that everything the Qin Dynasty did before was correct.

The people began to miss the Qin Dynasty again. Under this kind of thinking, Liu Bang came into being and defeating Xiang Yu was inevitable.

Because Xiang Yu is trying to reverse the course of history.

But after Liu Bang conquered the world, he also began to imitate Xiang Yu and enfeoff the princes, which was also against the historical trend.

So the princes and people in the world finally rebelled.

Fortunately, Liu Bang realized his mistake at this time and began to abolish the princes' constant suppression of rebellion.

Even so, he continued to fight for the rest of his life, and his death did not eliminate the impact of historical regression.

So much so that his wife almost changed the country's surname to Lu.

The entire Western Han Dynasty has actually been working hard to eliminate the influence of feudal princes and strive to realize the centralization of prefectures and counties in the Qin Dynasty.

On the surface, it was more powerful than the Qin Dynasty, which showed that in terms of political system, it was much more powerful.

During this process, the Han Dynasty also saw the emergence of aristocratic families and wealthy noble families that would harm future generations for thousands of years.

But during the Qin Dynasty, there were no aristocratic families.

They implemented Shang Yang's method and governed the country according to law.

Even ordinary people, as long as they do something beneficial to the country, can immediately receive various rewards and even be promoted to noble status.

From this point of view, the social rule of law in the Qin Dynasty was more fair.

So from this point of view, the entire Western Han Dynasty was actually a setback.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the people missed the unified country again and wanted to unify it, so Liu Bang took advantage of it.

As for the Han Dynasty becoming richer, it is because great chaos must be followed by great rule.

After the turbulent times, the people longed for a stable and peaceful life. Once they settled down, they would continue to engage in production and make the country prosperous and strong.

This does not explain how advanced the system of the Han Dynasty was.

On the contrary, the system of the Han Dynasty was a hybrid system equivalent to the two systems of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty combined.

There were both feudal lords and the system of prefectures and counties, and then the clans were born.

These adverse effects were also responsible for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the weakness of the Jin Dynasty, and the invasion of China by the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that all this was completely brought into order.

If the Qin Dynasty had not perished and Qin Shihuang could have lived ten or twenty more years and successfully handed over power to Fusu, what would that be like?

It is very likely that during the Han Dynasty, our country's advanced level would be as advanced as that of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps by the time of the Tang Dynasty, our country had already entered modern society.

At that time, our country's fleet can conquer the entire world along the five continents and four oceans.

The reason why what Ying Zheng did (Wang Zhao Zhao) seems a bit radical and cruel is just a helpless choice under the historical conditions and social productivity conditions at the time.

The empire only has so many people, so much wealth, and so many things to do. He can only live for a few decades in his lifetime, and he has to complete all these things within his term of office. How can he do it without forcing?!

So Du Yu chose to help Qin Shihuang eliminate various internal and external troubles.

He wanted to see how powerful the Daxia clan would be in this situation?!

Thinking of this, he sent another message: "By the way, the First Emperor, don't just focus on your own land."

"The world is more powerful than you think."

"In addition to Xianyang, there is a broader land to the far west."

"You should lead an army to conquer it.".
