After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, why didn t the old nobles of the six eastern cou

After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the old nobles of the six eastern countries should also understand who is the real king.

At that time, the aristocracy patronized themselves to preserve their wealth, and who would resist.

Because after the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the six eastern countries were no longer the original six eastern countries, and they were also purged by Liu Bang.

At that time, the old aristocracy had already declined, and there was little strength to resist Liu Bang.

The Western Han Dynasty was established, Liu Bang was proclaimed emperor, and he had his own set of rules for governing the country.

Because the aristocracy at that time had declined, and Liu Bang actually had his own advantages.

At that time, the six eastern kingdoms had already declined, and there were very few nobles.

It looks like a miracle. Although it seems that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were both decided in the First World War, they began to divide later. Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong after the July War and was later divided into eighteen princes.

Liu Bang eliminated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and later called him emperor and established the Han dynasty. But when he became emperor, he still conferred on eight different kings. However, a careful analysis of the situation before and after they became masters or emperors shows that there are still significant differences between them.

Xiang Yu is the overlord, and Liu Bang is the emperor: this is not a simple difference in titles, but a true embodiment of their strength. Xiang Yu led the alliance of princes into Guanzhong after the Battle of Julu, although he was strong, presided over the division of the world, and was known as the overlord of Western Chu.

But in essence, we can see him as the main force of Chu leading the princes' coalition army to attack Qin successfully. Although the army in Xiang Yu's hands is known as the elite, it cannot be said to have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of troops, strength, and control of territory. His dominance was more dependent on the "might" brought by the Battle of Julu and the support of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.

And after Liu Bang's battle of Qixia, we can see him as a weakened version of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world, because Liu Bang's rapid rise had a lot to do with his occupation of Guanzhong and his successful inheritance of the Qin state or Qin dynasty's "legacy". Therefore, some people refer to Liu Bang's Han army as the "resurrected Qin army". Therefore, after Liu Bang was defeated, we can see him as the conquest of the remaining six states of Shandong led by Qin led by the alliance of some princes.

Therefore, Liu Bang was able to claim the title of emperor and preside over the division of the feud because he was completely based on the strength he already had in his hands to claim the emperor, or at least the six states of Shandong before the unification of the Qin State. <>

Let's look at the comparison of the strength of the two in the key battle that decided the world: in the battle of the giant deer, we may only remember Xiang Yu's broken cauldron and martial bravery, but let's not forget that in fact, Xiang Yu's troops at that time were not much, and we can see from the history books that there were a lot of reinforcements from the princes and countries at that time, and these troops later joined Xiang Yu's troops to make Xiang Yu organize a huge coalition of princes, but these people later either returned to their respective home countries, or became a prince. Xiang Yu's real strength actually did not have an absolute advantage, which can be seen from his later war with the Qi State, and the other stronger army against Qin at that time, Liu Bang's Han army, was not directly controlled by Xiang Yu at all.

On the other hand, although Liu Bang also had powerful princes such as Yingbu and Peng Yue to help in the battle of Qixia, the most critical help was Han Xin, the king of Qi at that time (later the king of Chu and the marquis of Huaiyin), but we must not forget a key point, that is, Han Xin led not the Qi army nor the Chu army, but the real Han army. In other words, the real boss behind this army is Liu Bang himself, so after the war, Liu Bang immediately relieved Han Xin of his military power and regained control of this army, and Han Xin had no ability to resist at all. From this, it can be seen that the Han army led by Liu Bang himself plus the Han army led by Han Xin was enough to crush the other princes.

Maybe the times at that time didn't allow them to do this, they didn't have any strength.

After Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, the reason why the nobles of the Six Kingdoms did not resist as strongly as the Qin Dynasty was because in the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, the aristocratic power of each country had gradually withered away, and was replaced by an emerging aristocratic power group.

Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, dynastic change is inevitable, in the process vested interests will try to protect their own inherent interests, and then new forces will also try to break this monopoly, in the process struggle has become an inevitable means to resolve this conflict. After the Qin State unified the six countries and established a dynasty, the old nobles of the six countries were unified and managed, which also slipped through the net, they organized the people who were originally loyal to the country to find the right time to launch an uprising against the rule of the Qin Dynasty, in this process, a lot of heroes and heroes emerged, many of which were born recklessly, such as the Peixian group led by Liu Bang, many of them were grassroots, and Xiao He, the largest official, was just the magistrate of Pei County. These reckless heroes have established great achievements in the process of competing for the world, and have become a new generation of powerful groups through their military exploits.

After Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, the power of the world has long been redivided, the old aristocratic group has fallen apart, and was replaced by the new nobles, and at the same time experienced years of war, people's feelings of family and country are gradually fading, plus Liu Bang did not fully apply the county system of the Qin Dynasty at the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, but used the combination of the county system and the feudal system to manage the world, so that on the one hand, it appeased the feelings of the old scholars, and on the other hand, effectively realized the unified management of the whole country, after basing on stability, Liu Bang eliminated the king with a different surname who he divided, and established the "White Horse Alliance" with the world, so that the concept of "non-Liu family cannot be called king" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the old aristocracy was completely replaced.

The main reason is that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have lost their appeal and have no way to compete with the Western Han Dynasty.

The main reason is that there must be no way to change the overall situation at that time, so these people did not object.

At that time, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms had lost their appeal and influence, and after the war, the people were more miserable.

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang ordered a southward march to conquer Baiyue, expanding the territory of the Qin Dynasty to present-day Guangguang, Yunnan-Guizhou, and northern Vietnam. However, at the end of the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, dominated the world, but instead of relying on the elite troops and powerful generals of the founding of the country to occupy these territories, the Qin army in the south occupied these territories, but stationed the Han army in today's Hunan and Jiangxi, and the generation did not advance. Why is that?

What other places was the Qin Dynasty in the south? Qin Shi Huang set up Nanhai County (most of present-day Guangdong), Guilin County (most of present-day Guangxi and southwestern Guangxi), and AS County (present-day southern Guangxi and northern Vietnam), and emigrated hundreds of thousands of northern criminals, merchants, and widows.

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the Qin Dynasty set off an uprising of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others, and the north was in chaos. Seeing the chaos in the world, Ren Xiao, the lieutenant of Nanhai County, had the idea of independence. However, his health was poor.

Therefore, he summoned Zhao Tuo, the prefect of Longchuan, and asked him to send troops to block the road between Lingnan and the Central Plains in order to establish an independent state in the Lingnan region. After Ren Xiao's death, Zhao Tuo served as the lieutenant of Nanhai County. According to Ren Xiao's strategy, he killed the main ** of the Qin Dynasty and took control of the situation in Nanhai County with his cronies.

Subsequently, he sent troops to seize Guilin County and Xiang County, and sent troops to block the three passes leading to the Central Plains from Hengpu, Yangshan, and Huangxi. In this way, the Lingnan region was cut off from the Central Plains.

<> Zhao Tuo, upon learning of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, established himself as King Wu of Nanyue in 204 BC and officially established the Kingdom of Nanyue. He followed the county system of the Qin Dynasty, and at the same time appointed several leaders of the Zhao and Ouyue tribes as princes. He respected the living habits of the various tribes in Lingnan, co-opted the upper classes of the tribes to participate in political power, encouraged intermarriage between the Chinese and the tribes, and promoted the autonomy of the Yue people.

He also established good relations with neighboring Minyue, Yelang, and Yunnan states, consolidating South Vietnamese rule in the Lingnan region.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's first task was actually to stabilize the interior, not to establish new enemies. Therefore, there was no situation in South Vietnam where the initiative attacked the territory of the Han Dynasty on a large scale.

When the Han Dynasty was first established, it was still relatively chaotic, and then the domestic finances were relatively poor, and it did not support large-scale battles.

The Han Dynasty had just been established, and the national strength was not strong, and there were many internal problems, so it was necessary to recuperate and deal with hidden dangers such as princes and kings.

The princes did not gather to rebel, and there were three key reasons: first, no one was willing to rebel if they were not forced to do so, second, the communication between them was not very smooth, and third, the phenomenon of different princes was also different. Let's take a look at the actual situation at that time.

The state of Chu was an important energy force in the late Qin anti-Qin period, while the state of Chu was created by Cao Shen and Xiang Yu. Cao Shenbo's nephew is the son of Xiang Yan of Chu State. When Cao Shen and Xiang Yu initiated a rebellion, Chen sent Qin Jia to establish his half-brother Jing Ju as the king of Chu.

But there is no second in the world, and it is impossible for Chu to have two kings. Cao Shen sent troops to attack Qin Jia, Qin Jia died, and Jing Ju also fled to Liang. After Cao's staff rebelled, King Chu Wei was killed in the Qin State, so his grandson was named King Chu Wei.

Cao Shen was killed, Xiang Yu won the military power, and in the battle of the giant deer, he became a hegemon.

In the history of China's more than 2,000 years of feudal society, there are many people who rebel, but there are not many real conspirators, most of them rebel in desperation, and no one will easily choose the road of rebellion, because rebellion seems to be a matter of life and death, and the success of rebellion is only a minority, and the vast majority of rebels are all killed.

After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and became the co-lord of the world, he divided several liehous in turn, this kind of liehou has their own fiefdom, they have no desire to win the world after fighting for a lifetime, they want to live their daily life in the fiefdom unrestrained, and spend their old age in peace.

In ancient times, transportation was relatively backward, and the contact with all parts of the country was not as convenient as it is now, and the connection between the princes was originally a risk signal released to the court, and the court and the central government would not allow the princes to carry out contact at will.

If Liu Bang went to Chu to arrest Han Xin, the king of Chu Wen that year, Han Xin could immediately fly a pigeon to send a message to discuss with other liehous, and he would not have been arrested, but the traffic situation of that year could not quickly transmit the information, and Liu Bang had a time period to analyze them one by one.

Liu Bang's feudal system is a few different kinds of people, their fiefdom situation and their own personality and other factors are different, although they are all afraid that Liu Bang will find them to calculate money, but the difference in their actual situation makes it difficult for students to reach an agreement.

For example, Han Shin is more likely to be dissatisfied and complaining, and he is not happy to dominate the world; Before Peng Yue was expelled by Liu Bang, he was worried about enjoying his old age and didn't want to fool around; Yan Wang Lu Juan is a good buddy from Pei County with Liu Bang; Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, belonged to the princes and kings with small overall strength and self-reduced wings, and Liu Bang did not move him in the end.

The differences between the princes and kings made it impossible for the students to effectively combine to resist Liu Bang at the beginning, and in the end they were overcome by Liu Bang one by one. But whether it is Han Guang, Zang Di, or Lu Juan, it is not Dayan's power. Looking at the behavior of the old royal family of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong at the end of Qin, Liu Bang regarded Sanqin as his old revolutionary base, which was actually a copy of Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms, and Liu Bang's unification of the Six Kingdoms was ignored because of Xiang Yu's strength.

No one is willing to rebel until they have to, the contact between the princes and kings is not particularly smooth, and the specific conditions of different princes and kings are also different, so it is difficult to reach an agreement. So there was no rebellion together.

These princes and kings know how powerful Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are, and Xiang Yu has been defeated by Liu Bang, and they can't afford to make too many waves.

It shows that these princes and kings are all people who know how to judge the situation, and they will not make such a flustered behavior, and such behavior will only lead to their own suppression.

The original princes have always been relatively independent, when the Chu and Han dynasties fought for hegemony, new princes appeared, the strength was very strong, and the situation of the Han King Xiaozao Xin was very special, and the rebellion of the eight kings destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, and the great clan period became more mature when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I think it may be that Liu Bang doesn't want this county to be destroyed, so he can only compromise and let this county coexist, so that it is possible to recover the territory.

Mainly because there are too many small countries and too much power, Liu Bang also accepts the concept of governing the country with the coexistence of counties and states.

Why is Liu Bang incapable? The reason why Liu Bang was able to establish the Western Han Dynasty is the best proof of Liu Bang's ability.

I don't know what the ability is here, if it is the ability to lead troops to fight, Liu Bang is indeed lacking compared with Han Xin, but it is not nothing, don't underestimate any self-made emperor, because the reason why they succeed must be their merits, otherwise how can an incapable person make those heroes and heroes willing to obey him, so Liu Bang is by ability, and has great ability, but not by the ability of people will be able to establish a dynasty, which requires time, place, and people. Judging from the history books, Liu Bang can be said to have no outstanding ability, not as clever as Zhang Liangshen, not as good as Han Xin who can use soldiers like a god, and not as good as the overlord of Chu to pull out the mountains and cover the world, but Liu Bang has a strong ability in knowing people and political means, and using these two points well is the key to Liu Bang's establishment of the Western Han Dynasty

1. Rich political experience

It is undeniable that Liu Bang has transformed into an excellent politician in the process of rebelling against the rule of the Qin Dynasty, note that he is neither a military strategist nor a strategist, but a politician, if Liu Bang is good at military, then he will become a general at most, and if he is good at strategy, he will become a strategist at most, these two are not very good at Liu Bang, but for politics Liu Bang seems to be good at it without a teacher.

2. Know people and respect talents

In addition to having rich political wisdom, Liu Bang also has the ability to know people and be good at their duties, he can gather those who have the talent of the world and the earth under his command, and can tolerate the shortcomings of these people, such as Han Xin was not welcomed by Xiang Yu, ran to Liu Bang, and was reused by Liu Bang after discovering his talent, and finally Han Xin helped Liu Bang win the world.

Do you think Liu Bang has no ability, why was he able to establish the Western Han Dynasty?
