At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the heroes rose one after another: the southern expedition was deciphered
Dear readers, welcome to the pinnacle of history, today we will uncover the truth of Qin Shi Huang's southern expedition and sort out the story hidden by the veil of historical mystery.
1. Chaos of the Times: The Prelude to the Fall of the Qin Dynasty
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the regime was rotten, the people were miserable, Qin II ruled violently, and the people's resentment was boiling. Heroes and heroes from all over the country responded to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprisings, and the situation of troubled times gradually took shape.
2. The Southern Expeditionary Army: "Important People" in the Eyes of Qin Shi Huang
This huge southern expeditionary army was originally Qin Shi Huang's right-hand man. However, they are not traditional armies, but conscripted deserters and merchants, and their strength is far inferior to that of traditional armies. They were tasked with pacifying South Vietnam, but they faced a dilemma on all sides.
3. The Mystery of the "Ciphertext": Qin Shi Huang's Strategic Edict?
Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang left a "secret text" to ask the southern expeditionary army to stick to the South China Sea and protect the Central Plains. However, there is no mention of this in the historical record. On the contrary, Qin Shi Huang's expectation of the Southern Expeditionary Army was more like "the responsibility to defend the territory" rather than to balance the turmoil in the Central Plains through "edicts".
4. Ren Huan, Zhao Tuo: The Rise of the Kingdom of Nanyue
In South Vietnam, Ren Huan became the commander of the Qin army, while Zhao Tuo was the deputy commander. However, it is worth noting that they were not the successors of the king of South Vietnam, but gradually rose to prominence after the establishment of South Vietnam. In the Battle of Baiyue Pacification, Ren Huan died in battle, and Zhao Tuo officially became the king of Nanyue, unifying the Nanyue region.
5. Zhao Tuo's Political Wisdom: The Way of Governance in South Vietnam
After Zhao Tuo succeeded to the throne, he showed outstanding political wisdom. He consolidated South Vietnam's dominance in the Lingnan region through excellent governance. Through the policy of "Peace and Hundred Yue", the integration of the Central Plains soldiers and the Lingnan people was promoted, and the foundation for the prosperity of South Vietnam was laid.
6. The Fall of the Qin Dynasty: The Choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army
At the critical juncture of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Southern Expeditionary Army was faced with a difficult choice. However, they did not choose to go north to King Qin, but embarked on the road of "rejuvenating the army". Behind this decision, perhaps the strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army is insufficient, or it may be their concern about the changes in the Central Plains.
7. Historical Truth: An unadulterated view of the facts
The legendary "edict" may just be a fiction woven by the novelist for the sake of the plot, and the real history has no record of this. The choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army was based more on the actual situation and situation, rather than on the fictional heroic legends.
8. Summary: The immortal mark of history
The historical legacy of Qin Shi Huang, whether it is the difficult choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army or the governance wisdom of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, is a stroke that cannot be ignored in the long river of history. The story behind the Southern Expedition is more like a refraction of history, reflecting the changes of a country and an era.
Thank you very much for listening, and look forward to seeing you next time to savor the depth of history together!
9. Turmoil in the Central Plains: The turbulent times of the Seven Kingdoms
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Central Plains entered a period of competition for supremacy, and the situation was turbulent. The princes of all walks of life vied with each other to claim the title of king, forming a situation of separation. The choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army is even more complicated in this context. Whether they return to the Central Plains or not has become a decisive issue.
10. The Contradiction between South Vietnam and the Central Plains: Confrontation between North and South
With the rise of South Vietnam, the contradictions between the North and the South gradually emerged. The Seven Heroes of the Central Plains continued to have internal contradictions, while South Vietnam took the opportunity to strengthen its own strength and strengthen the governance of the Lingnan region. The situation of confrontation between the north and the south has caused the entire land of China to enter a long period of division.
11. Zhao Tuo's ambition: the dream of the reunification of South Vietnam
Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, was not satisfied with the domination of the Lingnan region, he had bigger dreams and longed to achieve the unification of South Vietnam. Zhao Tuo not only devoted himself to consolidating Lingnan, but also sought to establish an alliance with the princes of the Central Plains in order to achieve the goal of jointly fighting foreign enemies. His ambitions set the course for the future of South Vietnam.
12. North-South reconciliation: a historical opportunity
With the passage of time, the contradictions between the North and the South gradually eased. On the one hand, the disputes between the Seven Heroes of the Central Plains gradually subsided, forming a stable pattern, and on the other hand, South Vietnam achieved reconciliation with the Central Plains through diplomatic means with the Central Plains. This historical opportunity has created favorable conditions for China's reunification.
13. The Rise of the Heroes: The Rise of Liu Bang
During the period of confrontation between the north and the south, an important role came to the fore, and that was Liu Bang. With his outstanding military talents and outstanding political wisdom, he successfully rose to prominence in troubled times. The rise of Liu Bang has become a key step in changing the chaos in the Central Plains.
14. The Legacy of the Qin Dynasty: The Choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army Revisited
Looking back at the choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army, perhaps their decision to abandon the North was not a lack of ambition, but a deep insight into the turmoil in the Central Plains. They chose to establish their own business in the south, becoming the founders of South Vietnam and a kind of inheritance of the Qin dynasty's legacy.
15. The Final Chapter of History: The Great Cause of Reunification
With the rise of Liu Bang, the princes of the Central Plains gradually submitted to his great cause of unification. Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, saw the great changes in history and successfully established a cooperative relationship with Liu Bang through clever diplomatic means. The great cause of reunification between the north and the south was finally completed under the leadership of Liu Bang, and China was reunified.
16. Summary: The profound enlightenment of the Southern Expedition
The Southern Expedition is a gripping chapter in Chinese history and has left a profound historical imprint. In the choice of the Southern Expeditionary Army, we have seen wisdom and courage, in the rise of South Vietnam, we have seen the wisdom of governance, and in the situation of confrontation between the North and the South, we have seen the tenacity and wisdom in China's troubled times.
17. Looking to the Future: The Cycle of History
The history of the Southern Expedition tells us that in troubled times, every choice is related to the fate of the entire country.
