Introduction: Looking at the Great Qin Empire, how to achieve the killing of gods? In addition to military talent, Qin Zhaoxiang And Empress Qin Xuan, the two great Bole, powerful cavalry resources, and the wind of martial arts in the Qin Kingdom, are born in a chaotic world when you are a hero
In "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire", Bai Qi was excavated by Wei Ran, reused by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and later promoted and reused by Empress Qin Xuan, he built a powerful cavalry force for the Qin state, won several wars and won complete victories, he swept through countless cities and pools of the Wei state, eradicated the obstacles of the Qin state to the east, cut down Chu several times and captured the capital of the State of Chu, attacked the combined forces of Han and Zhao, beheaded 130,000 enemies, and killed 400,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, thus starting the unification road of the Qin state, and Bai Qi won the title of god of war and killing god.
After all, film and television dramas are not completely real history, what is the achievement of killing gods? Was it only military prowess and victory in several major battles? With the help of the film and television drama "Great Qin Empire", let's dissect the famous killing god Bai Qi in history.
During the Warring States period, how did Bai Qi become the God of War?
In the Warring States period, Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was known as the god of killing, has a high historical reputation, according to many historical records, Bai Qi in his military career did not experience a failed war, he was a lifelong undefeated general, can be described as a military wizard; at the same time he was also a great hero of the Qin state from the Warring States Seven Heroes to the only superpower in the Central Plains, from his military talent was discovered by Wei Ran, to his final death after the Battle of Handan, Bai Qi's life can be described as a very legendary.
Bai Qi's victory affected the situation of the Warring States, changed the course of history, and made the world that was divided at that time embark on the road of reunification faster, at that time, wu'an Jun Baiqi's prestige can be said to be famous in the world, he was the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States, in the Warring States era, no general could match his status and prestige, even Zhao Kuo, who had no one in sight, also regarded Bai Qi as the only enemy in his life, which can see the prestige of Bai Qi.
The chaotic world of the Warring States is an era of ideological explosion and the emergence of famous masters, in that era, there is naturally no shortage of capable people and strangers, and Bai Qi can emerge in that environment and make a name for himself in the world, which is naturally extraordinary. So today we are going to see what has made Wu Anjun Baiqi? Purely by virtue of his military prowess? The answer is no, and the reasons for being able to make a person must be manifold.
Bai Qi was gifted militarily and was good at fighting annihilation battles
Of course, the first point we must mention is that this person's military ability, in fact, effort and talent coexist in a person's career, but many times there are some people whose talents are much stronger than ordinary people, and Bai Qi's military talent is like this, he is the initiator of this kind of fighting style of annihilation warfare, the so-called annihilation war is the equal amount of siege and annihilation.
Bai Qi's combat style is very distinct, almost all use the same number of troops to besiege, never leave a back road for the other side, in the era of cold weapons in the Warring States era, people do not pay attention to leaving no room when fighting, because the art of war has clouds: put to death and live later, when an army has no way back, then they can exert one hundred percent of their combat strength to fight to the death, so that the absolute victory of war is not easy to achieve.
Therefore, many times in the battlefield of combat, we pay great attention to skills. However, Bai Qi is different, he can use an absolute control over the battlefield, and he is successful in the fight of annihilation, so that we can see the talent of Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's success was due to wei ran and empress dowager Qin Xuan
Wei Ran discovered Bai Qi and reused Bai Qi
The second point is naturally that Bai Qi met his own Bole, in the social background of the Warring States period, the road that civilians could take was very narrow, only a small number of people could have the opportunity to be appreciated, and most of the ordinary people still lived their own lives by keeping farming.
But Bai Qi was different, he was a person who was accidentally discovered by Wei Ran in the army, at the same time, Wei Ran was a very talented general, and it was precisely because of Wei Ran's lead that Bai Qi was able to be impressed, and this piece of gold could not be buried in the loess.
The reason why Bai Qi was able to emerge in the later battles was inseparable from Wei Ran, and if Wei Ran did not give him such an opportunity, presumably Bai Qi would not be able to stand out among hundreds of thousands of troops, and there would be no helm who later killed the god.
Empress Qin Xuan's sword took a sideways approach and boldly activated Bai Qi
After that, Bai Qi was not only activated by Wei Ran, but also appreciated by Empress Qin Xuan, at that time the State of Qin had just quelled the rebellion of Ji Jun, the generals in the country were vacant, and the King of Qin had just ascended the throne and was unstable, and the Six Kingdoms of Shandong seemed to take this opportunity to attack the State of Qin, hoping to take this opportunity to destroy the State of Qin to stabilize the world.
At this time, Empress Qin Xuan made a very bold decision, that is, to enable Bai Qi to be in danger and serve as the general of the Qin State, and this practice of Empress Qin Xuan can be described as a sword to the side, because in the army of the Qin State, although Bai Qi is said to be a little famous, it is far from the prestige of sima or shang martingale and others, and even does not have the prestige of the former military, so that such a person suddenly goes to the post of general, not to mention how talented it is. There will be a lot of opposition in the army alone, and once the internal personnel are isolated, then it is easy to become a scattered sand, and when fighting against the six countries of Shandong, it is naturally unable to exert strong strength.
Bai Qi lived up to the expectations of the people and exerted great military talent to defeat the Six-Nation Alliance
At this time, Bai Qi's powerful command ability was brought into play, and he was not only able to command the Qin army like a fish, but also eliminated 240,000 people in the war, allowing the Qin state to survive in danger. At the same time, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong completely distanced themselves from the Qin State due to the failure of this attack, and the Qin State gained a long period of peaceful development, laying a solid foundation for the Qin State to re-implement the Shang Martingale Method later.
People say: Do not enter the tiger's den, get the tiger, although this move of Empress Qin Xuan is very dangerous, it has finally achieved very remarkable results, it can be said that if there is no Wei Ran's appreciation for Bai Qi, if there is no Empress Qin Xuan's unusual recruitment of Bai Qi, then it is difficult for Bai Qi to become famous in the Battle of Yique, and it is difficult to occupy a place in a country with abundant talents like qin.
Therefore, then Wei Ran and Empress Qin Xuan still had a high weight in Bai Qi's career, that is, they single-handedly created the great general who later became famous. If Bai Qi is compared to a Thousand Mile Horse, then Empress Qin Xuan and Hou Wei Ran must be his Bole.
The times create heroes, and the white rises and falls into a chaotic world
The third point is that the social environment at that time determined, people often say that the times create heroes, indeed, if a military genius like Bai Qi was born in the Taiping period, then it is not easy to be discovered by people, just like the Tang Dynasty, most of the people who emerged in the environment were civilian subjects, when the country was relatively stable, wars did not break out frequently, so the military generals were more tasked with guarding the border and maintaining the peaceful situation that the country already had.
However, the Warring States era is different, this is a very chaotic era, the princes compete for hegemony, wars occur frequently, many historians regard it as the biggest chaotic world in history, in such an era, large and small wars can be said to be continuous, and under the control of such a large social background, a country's military strength has become a very important part of measuring the country's comprehensive strength, and because of this, the famous military generals of the Warring States era will emerge endlessly.
In fact, if it were not for the background of the great chaos in the world at that time, whether it was someone like Bai Qi or a Zongheng family like Zhang Yi suqin, it would have been useless, just like The Pu Tong that appeared at the end of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony.
Pu Tong and Zhang Yi are both Zongheng family, but they were born at the wrong time and finally failed
Like Su Qinzhang, Pu Tong was a Zongheng family, he also had a three-inch tongue, he once went to lobby Han Xin, he thought that people like Han Xin were enough to compete with Liu BangXiangyu with talent, so the Chu and Han struggle for hegemony almost became the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, this kind of behavior of Qu Tong did not succeed, and Han Xin still honestly sat down with Liu Bang as his general, not only because Han Xin was self-aware at that time, but also because the historical society at that time was only an opportunity for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to compete for hegemony, and when the people of the world were among Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, all foreign competitors seemed pale and powerless.
Therefore, although Pu Tong was a very eloquent Zongheng family, he did not have the right time, the Chu and Han Dynasties did not have the same princes and princes as in the Warring States Period, naturally its interest relationship will not be very complicated, and the Interests that the Zongheng family can control will be very few, so Pu Tong will eventually fail.
If Bai Qi encountered an inappropriate era like the one that Pu Tong encountered, then presumably Bai Qi would not have had various achievements in the future, nor would he have become a famous general, nor would he have become the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States. Therefore, the social environment at that time still had a different credit for the creation of Bai Qi.
The phrase "the situation creates heroes" has the effect of truth in many places, the same times create heroes and heroes must also serve the times, Bai Qi is such a person who benefits the current era, is such a person who conforms to the current era and constantly promotes the development of the times, so in the background of the times, Bai Qi has grown.
Bai Qi's rise benefited from the strength of the Qin state
The rise of Bai Qi also benefited from the national environment and development of the Qin State at that time; as we all know, when Bai Qi was the general of the Qin State, the Qin State was already a very competitive side in the struggle for hegemony among the princes, and in such a country, it was easier for such a person to have a stage to play.
The qin state is strong and comprehensive national strength and a strong army, but also has advanced cavalry and heavy combat equipment, such material support and personnel allocation, so that Bai Qi, the general, is more likely to exert his command ability, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice, if the Qin state is a very poor country, if the Qin state is a poor and weak country like the Yan country, it is a country like the Yan country that only the old, weak, sick and the disabled form an army, then even if the white means are psychic, presumably it will not be able to achieve so much victory.
Therefore, Bai Qi's final success was also greatly related to the strength of the Qin state at that time, and the Qin state at that time had been pushed into the list of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States by Shang Martin, and was no longer the relatively weak country in the early Warring States period, and the war that Bai Qi relied on the support of the Qin state to deal with naturally had the opportunity to win every battle.
And the reason why Bai Qi is so famous is precisely because of the four words of hundred battles and hundreds of victories, if it is not a lifetime of undefeated achievements, then Bai Qi will not be better among many military wizards, and the reason why he can win hundreds of battles is also because he has strong support, such a tough strength in combination with Bai Qi's own military talents, and at the same time, in combination with the social background at that time, he naturally created a god of war.
Review
The wind of Shangwu in the Qin Kingdom is more suitable for white qi
The author believes that Bai Qi is a born military expert,
At the same time, the State of Qin is also a country that advocates force, and the status of a military general in a martial nation is naturally more lofty than that of a civilian subject, and the martial atmosphere of the Qin State is more suitable for the development of Bai Qi.
In fact, this kind of national style has an extremely far-reaching impact on the emphasis on the cultivation of national talents, for example, in the Song Dynasty, the status of the Wenchen was much higher than that of the Wu general, so there were so many Wenchen who passed on the history of the Qing Dynasty; and the same was true of the Qin State in the Warring States Period, it was precisely because the shangwu style made the appearance of Bai Qi more reasonable, so that Empress Qin Xuan's promotion of Bai Qi was no longer so abrupt, so the environment and development of the Qin State at that time was also an important reason for the achievement of Bai Qi.
Powerful cavalry resources are the basis for victory in white
Besides
The emergence of cavalry allowed Bai Qi to have a new type of combat resources, and the main force of operations in the Central Plains at that time was still infantry, such as wei wu pawns who were once famous in the wei state, or the technical divisions in the military strength of the state of Qi, both of which were infantry. In the late cold weapon era, the cavalry had a natural advantage in fighting the infantry, and after Bai Qi mastered the military power of the Qin state, he spent a huge amount of energy to create a strong and well-equipped cavalry unit for the Qin state, and it was this unit that provided solid support for the Qin state's later southern conquest and northern war.
Just like the main purpose of the Zhao Wuling King Hufu Riding and Shooting Transformation Method, the cavalry soon became popular in the Qin State, and also became an ironclad unit to resist the attack of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong and destroy the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, in fact, the reason why the Zhao State at that time was able to carry the banner of resisting the Qin State alone, and the reason why it was able to compete with the Qin State in terms of military strength, was because the domestic cavalry was very developed, especially after absorbing the combat characteristics of the Northern Hu people, the combat ability of the cavalry was even more rapid. Therefore, it is not so difficult to fight against the Qin State.
Compared with the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, it had a higher chance of victory when resisting Qin, and the reason why Bai Qi was able to have the conditions for training cavalry at that time was because Empress Qin Xuan subdued the State of Yiqu, so that the unique way of training horses and training cavalry cultivated by the Yiqu people at that time was transmitted to the Qin State, giving the Qin State a unique advantage in the development of cavalry, so the cavalry advantage brought about by the annexation of the Yiqu State was also a key to the achievement of Bai Qi.
discuss
The author thinks
We can see that a person's growth must be affected by many aspects, a person's simple ability on the road of his growth is far from enough, but also need to seize the opportunity, know how to shape themselves, in a specific historical time period, it requires a variety of forms of talent, if we want to go to the stage of history, then we must conform to the trend of history to cultivate ourselves, find the most in line with the development of the times of the form, so that we have sufficient competitive conditions, Only in this way can we not be overwhelmed by strong competitive pressures.
At the same time, he must grasp the opportunities that appear around him, just like Bai Qi, he can grasp the opportunities around him very well, and at the same time make good use of the social environment at that time to achieve himself, and finally become famous.
