Full text translation:
Qin Xiaogong occupies the dangerous terrain of Xiaoshan and Hanguguan, and has the land of Yongzhou. The monarch and his subjects are firmly guarding the Zhou royal family who seized power and have the ambition to unify the world. At this moment, Shang Yang assisted him, established internal laws and regulations, engaged in agricultural weaving, and built defensive and offensive equipment; The implementation of the strategy of balance of power in foreign countries has made the governors fight against each other. Therefore, Qin people easily seized the land west of the Yellow River.
After Qin Xiaogong's death, Huiwen Wang, Xiang and Xiang inherited the inheritance of the previous dynasty and followed the strategy of the previous generation, taking Hanzhong in the south, Bashu in the west, cutting fertile land in the east and occupying very important areas in the north. Fearful and fearful, the vassals got together to form an alliance, discussed and weakened the state of Qin, spared no effort to collect rare utensils and fertile soil to recruit talents from all over the world, and adopted the strategy of vertical integration to conclude a Covenant, help each other and become one.
At this time, there were Qi, Zhao, Chu, Chun Shenjun and Wei, Xin Lingjun. These four emperors were resourceful, sincere and trustworthy, generous and kind, caring for the people, respecting talents, and reusing scholars. They vowed to break Lian Heng's Qin strategy and unify the armies of Korea, Wei, Yan, Chu, Qi, Zhao, Song, Wei and Zhongshan.
At this time, Ning Yue, Xu Shang, Su Qin, Doukhi and other six scholars advised him; Qi Ming, Zhou Zui, Qiu Chen, Zhao Hua, Lou Man, Zhai Jing, Su Li and Le Yi expressed their opinions. Wuqi, Sun Bin, Dai Tuo, Ni Liang, Liao Wang, Tian Ji, Lian Po and Zhao She are in charge. They once attacked the state of Qin with ten times as much land and millions of troops.
The Qin people opened the Hangu Pass to face the enemy, and the nine armies hesitated and dared not enter the Pass. The Qin people didn't spend a single soldier, and the princes in the world were already embarrassed. As a result, the treaty failed, and the vassal States scrambled to cede territory and bribe Qin. Qin took advantage of their drowsiness and the remaining troops to subdue them, chasing the defeated soldiers who fled, and millions of defeated soldiers were lying dead on the road. The flowing blood can float on the shield.
In this favorable situation, Qin cut off all the land in the world and re-divided the land of mountains and rivers. The powerful countries took the initiative to express their obedience, and the weak countries went to Qin to worship. It lasted until King Xiaowen and King Zhuangxiang, and the rule time was not long, and nothing important happened in the State of Qin.
By the time of the first emperor, he developed the legacy of VI, ruled all countries by force, wiped out all the Western Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Zhou Dynasty and vassal States, ascended the throne of the emperor to rule the world, enslaved the people all over the world with severe punishments and severe laws, and shocked the whole world. Qin Shihuang captured the land south of Baiyue, which was divided into Guilin County and Elephant County. The monarch of Baiyue bowed his head and tied a rope around his neck (willing to obey and surrender), and handed over his life to judicial officials.
Qin Shihuang then ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall in the north and guard the border, so that the Huns retreated more than 700 miles; Hu people dare not go south to graze, and warriors dare not draw bows and shoot arrows for revenge. Qin Shihuang then abolished the ancient emperors' way of governing the country and burned hundreds of works to fool the people; Destroy tall walls and kill heroes; Collect weapons from all over the world, concentrate on Xianyang, destroy weapons and arrows, and smelt and cast twelve bronze men to weaken the resistance of the people.
Then take Huashan Mountain as the city wall, the Yellow River as the city, the towering Huashan Mountain, overlooking the unfathomable Yellow River, thinking it is a dangerous place. Good generals guard the key points with strong crossbows, and reliable officials and elite foot soldiers question passers-by with sharp weapons. The world is set, and the first emperor thought to himself, Guanzhong's dangerous and solid terrain and Fiona Fang's solid Yugoslav capital are the inheritance for generations to be kings.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, his afterglow (still) shocked remote areas. However, Chen She was only the son of a poor family. He used a broken urn as a window and a straw rope as a hinge. He protected himself and was a servant, and later became a pawn who was moved to the frontier. Talent is inferior to ordinary people, virtue is inferior to Kong Qiu and Mo Zhai, and wealth is inferior to Tao Zhu and Eton. (He) joined the garrison, suddenly rose from the field, led tired soldiers, commanded hundreds of troops, turned around and attacked the State of Qin, cut down trees as weapons, held bamboo poles as flags, and heroes gathered all over the world, echoing him from afar, and many people followed him with food on their backs. Heroes to the east of Xiaoshan revolted together and wiped out the Qin family.
Besides, the world has not shrunk and weakened, Yongzhou terrain, Lushan Mountain, Hanguguan dangerous solid, unchanged. Chen She's position is not higher than that of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Song, Wei and Zhong Shan. Hoe stick is not sharper than hook spear; Soldiers who move to the border cannot compete with the soldiers of the nine countries; Far-sighted, the method of marching troops is not as good as that of military commanders and counselors before the Nine Kingdoms. But those with good conditions failed, those with poor conditions succeeded, and their achievements were completely opposite. Why? If we compare the Eastern vassal states with Chen She and measure their strength, we can't compare them. However, due to its small size, Qin developed into a country with thousands of chariots and horses, governed the whole country and made the governors of the six countries appear before the court for more than a hundred years; After that, he took the world as his family business and Lushan Mountain and Hanguguan as his inner palace. Chen She Uprising, the country perished. Zi Ying, the king of Qin, died at the hands of others (Xiang Yu) and was laughed at by the world. Why? The offensive and defensive situation has changed because there is no benevolent policy.
The original text is as follows:
According to solid belief, Qin Xiaogong holds the land of Yongzhou, and the monarch and his subjects stick to it, so that he can get a glimpse of the Zhou family, which has swept the world, embraced the world and swallowed up the heart of the Eight Wastes. When the time is right, Shang Jun will assist him, making laws at home, farming and weaving, maintaining the tools of war, and confronting the vassals abroad. So the Qin people surrendered and took the Xijiang River.
Without filial piety, Huiwen, Wuwu and Zhao Xiang inherited their careers. Because of its legacy, Hanzhong in the south, Ba and Shu in the west, fertile land in the east and key counties in the north. Feared, the vassal states sought to weaken the State of Qin through alliance, and did not cherish the precious and fertile land, so that the people of the world could join hands and become one. At this time, there are Meng Chang, Zhao Pingyuan, Chu Chunshen and Wei Xinling. These four monarchs are wise and faithful, generous and caring, and respect the virtuous and value the virtuous. They are all from Tianping, belonging to Korea, Wei, Yan, Chu, Qi, Zhao, Song, Wei and Zhongshan. So the people of the six countries, including Ning Yue, Xu Shang, Su Qin and Du He, worked for it, while Qi Ming, Zhou Zui, Chen Yi, Zhao Liu, Lou Man, Zhai Jing, Su Li and Le Yi worked for it, while Wuqi, Sun Bin, Dai Tuo, Ni Liang, Liao Wang, Tian Ji, Lian Po and Zhao She worked for it. Taste ten times the land, millions of people, knock on the customs and attack Qin. Qin people used to delay the enemy, the division of the nine countries, and did not dare to enter. Wu Qin's death cost him money, but the ruler of the world has been trapped. So he was defeated from the loose contract and bribed Qin to cede territory. Qin spared no effort to control its disadvantages, chasing death and driving north, burying millions of bodies and bleeding; Take advantage of the trend, slaughter the world and split the mountains and rivers. Strong countries please submit, weak countries enter the DPRK.
Extending to the king of Zhuang Xiang, the country enjoys a shallow life and the country has nothing to do.
When Emperor Fen VI was fierce, he made a long-term plan to conquer the palace, swallowed the princes who died within two weeks, followed the supreme rule, and made Liuhe, whipping the world by beating and shocking the world. Take the land of Baiyue in the south as Guilin and Xiang Jun; Baiyue Wang bowed his head and tightened his neck, appointing officials. Is to let Meng Tian build the Great Wall in the north and keep the fence. The Huns are only more than 700 miles away; The conference semifinals dare not go south to herd horses, and the scholars dare not bow to their knees. So let's abolish Wang Zhidao and burn the words of a hundred schools of thought. Famous city, killing heroes; Take the soldiers of the world, gather in Xianyang, sell dysprosium, and cast them into twelve gold people to weaken the people of the world. Then, Jianhua will become a city, because the river is a pool. According to the city of 100 million feet, it will be strong because of the unexpected abyss. A good general will guard the key points with a strong crossbow, and a loyal minister will be Chen Libing. The world is set, and the emperor's heart begins, thinking that Guanzhong is solid, Jincheng is thousands of miles away, and the descendants of the emperor will always have a career.
I have been shocked by this unusual custom since the first emperor died. However, Chen She's son Weng Huan's rope pivot is a self-protection official, and immigrants are also; Talents are not as good as Chinese people, not as good as Zhong Ni, the sage of Mo Zhai, the wealth of Tao Zhu, and Yidun; Wandering among the ranks, squatting in the hustle and bustle, the rate of exhaustion of soldiers, hundreds of people, turned to attack Qin; Chop firewood for soldiers, uncover poles for flags, and the world will gather to respond, and seize grain with the scenery. Shandong Haojun rose together and Qin family died.
Moreover, the world is not small and weak, and Yongzhou is solid and self-sufficient. Chen She's position is not respected by Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Song, Wei and Zhongshan. It is not the same as the long shovel and hoe thorn of the hook; The people stationed in the garrison are not resistant to the division of the nine countries; Visionary, marching with troops, not for the people of the times. However, success or failure is different, and achievements are the opposite. Why? Try to make Lu and Chen She bigger and bigger, and we can't talk about it in the same year. Qin, however, is a mere place, but it has become a thousand times more powerful, with eight countries in the same column, which has been more than a hundred years. Then take Liuhe as home and faith as palace; Water under the bridge, but difficult to be alone. Benevolence and kindness are not applied, and the tendency to attack and defend is different.
