Short video: Shocking the world

【Why did Chu fail to unify the world? #History#Chu】

"It's better to talk about my Zhao than Chu!"

"Wu Zixu led the Wu army to directly attack the capital, and even the king's tomb was not saved. King Ping of Chu was dug out and whipped, which was a disgrace!"

【"Some people asked: Qin was in the west and Chu was in the south, and neither of them was in a place of war. Why was it Qin instead of Chu that finally completed the great unification?"

【"The size of Chu at that time was indeed amazing, which was the sum of several other countries."

【"But history is very good at making jokes. From the beginning, Chu had no hope of unifying the world, or the hope was extremely slim. At most, it was just a hegemony for a while and a separatist."

【"Chu was known to have a million soldiers. It had two strong periods in history. One was the early Warring States period, when the three families divided Jin and Tian's replacement of Qi had just ended, and Han, Wei, Zhao and Qi were all resting. Rest and recuperate, and use the main energy to resolve internal conflicts. "]

["Chu took the opportunity to expand, and fought northward to the place close to the Yellow River, including the later Wei capital Daliang, which was also within its territory. "]

["The second time it became strong was in the middle of the Warring States Period. After the accumulation of Xuanwei's prosperity, in the period of Xuzhou Xiangwang and Wuguo Xiangwang, Chu became a strong country again. "]

["During the Xuzhou Xiangwang, he defeated Qi. "]

["During the Wuguo Xiangwang, he defeated Wei in Xiangling and took eight cities. "]

["During the two rises, although Chu was a strong country, it did not have the strength to unify the world. "]

["In terms of thought, there is a saying: If you go horizontally, you will be the emperor of Qin, and if you go vertically, you will be the king of Chu. "]

"What does this sentence mean? "

"The strategy of Lianheng can achieve the imperial cause, and the strategy of Lianheng can achieve the imperial cause. The strategy of vertical and horizontal alliance can only achieve the king's career. Such as the Qin Emperor and the King of Chu. "

【"In the game of horizontal and vertical, Chu did not beat Qin in the end."】

【"Under the trend of the vertical and horizontal thinking in the Central Plains, Chu was isolated from the Central Plains. "】

【"As the only country that entered the Qin mainland during the Warring States Period, Chu was not weak in strength, but the kings of Chu in successive generations were too superstitious about their own strength and ignored strategy and politics, which led to the overwhelm of the alliance of Qin, Han, Wei and Qi when Chu was at its peak. "】

【"In terms of system, Chu's feudal system was very powerful. Just look at Xiang Yu's feudal system after he destroyed Qin. This system is difficult to defeat Qin's highly centralized war machine. "】

"Chu was destroyed by Qin because of the dispersed power of millions of armored soldiers. Sixteen years later, Xiang Yu overthrew the tyrannical Qin and continued to elect Select the sealing system, and the kings who have been sealed. "The layer is stacked."] [Don't look at Chu State a behemoth, in fact, the fragmentation is very powerful, and the soldiers can directly mobilize. " The king's ability is poor and not strong enough. ”】

【“The system is the biggest problem of Chu. Wu Qi’s reforms failed.”】

【“Without solving the domestic system, Chu’s chances of unifying the world are slim, or even hopeless.”】

“For a Chu like this, even Shang Yang would be useless, let alone Wu Qi!”

“Later generations say that Chu is a low-profile version of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which makes sense! The Western Zhou Dynasty did not have the ability to unify the world, so how could Chu, which was also severely divided, have a chance?”

“If Chu cannot get the world, Qin can forget about it! Which country is willing to form an alliance with him now?”

“Is there really no hope for Chu? ”

——

[The Chu State lasted for 800 years, and the feudal system was so good that the king of Chu had no power, especially in the late Warring States period, when the power was in the hands of the three families of Qu Jingzhao.]

[The Chu State was a federation system, a bit like the independence of the states in the United States.]

[I think the Chu State is more like the Soviet Union. It was composed of countless small countries, small ethnic groups, and small clans.]

[The Chu State, with a radius of more than 2,000 miles and a million soldiers, but the nobles were scheming against each other, and the great country was in disarray, and would never rise to prominence.]

The kings of Chu frowned more and more as they read the comments one by one.

[Qin was a joint-stock company, and Chu was a family company.]

[Is that the opposite?]

[During the Warring States Period, Wei has been living off the capital of Wei Wuzu, and Chu has been living off the capital of Wu Qi's reform. ]

[If King Dao of Chu could live ten more years, Wu Qi's reform would have been able to gain a foothold, what a pity! ]

[It would be better to say that if Wei Wenhou lived ten more years, Qin might have become a tribe. ]

Many kings of Qin: If you keep talking, we will be unhappy!

"Good man, without Wu Qi, Wei and Chu can't survive?!"

"Wu Qi is indeed a great talent, but his character is criticized."

"After Wu Qi was killed, although the reform was abolished, some policies that were beneficial to the central government were retained by King Su of Chu. To a certain extent, Chu was indeed living off Wu Qi's capital!"

[Chu only had King Zhuang of Chu, and Chu has always been a barbarian. ]

[What about King Wei of Chu and King Wu of Chu? ]

[Chu directly usurped the throne when it was founded. ]

[King Wu of Chu: The Chu people never needed the title of the Zhou emperor to respect themselves as kings. ]

"I am a barbarian."

...

[The most underestimated emperor in history - Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty #history#animation#Tuoba Hong]

"Northern Wei, Tuoba, a foreign emperor!"

"Emperor Xiaowen led the Xianbei people to sinicize and promote sinicization, which is of great significance to future generations!"

"How will future generations evaluate me?" Emperor Xiaowu Tuoba Hong himself was curious.

【Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong: "Son, I know you were used by bad people. But this time, I can't save you."】

【Tuoba Xun (Yuan Xun): "But you are the emperor, don't you have the final say in all world affairs?"】

【"But you killed your teacher."】

【"He is just a Han Chinese."】

【"Do you know why we need a Han Chinese teacher for you?"】

【"I don't know."】

【"It has only been more than a hundred years since we established our Xianbei nation. But Han culture has been around for three thousand years. Before the concept of Han people, there was already Han culture, earlier than the Qin Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty."】

【"But we are Xianbei people, why do we have to speak Chinese, wear Hanfu, and change our Han surnames?"】

【"You are wrong. Our Tuoba clan originally had the surname Ji. The two characters Tuoba mean descendants of the Yellow Emperor."】
