When the Qin Dynasty fell, why did the 500,000 Qin troops who were sent out to the border not save t

Speaking of the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the history we have learned is already very auspicious. From the background of its establishment and the necessary conditions, we can see that many factors are necessary to have, and it is an inevitable product of the development of an era. But we may not know much about the fall of the Qin Dynasty, but you must have heard of the character Meng Tian, he was a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, is the final fall of the Qin Dynasty also related to his failure to save him in the end?

First of all, Qin Shi Huang was a very ambitious and forward-looking emperor, and he ordered the 500,000 Qin troops to guard the frontier, because he knew the importance of a stable frontier for a country. Is it possible to guess that these armies were also ordered by the King of Qin and did not come to save them in the end?

From another point of view, that is, Qin Shi Huang, there is no doubt that he is a very legendary figure, but as the old saying goes, "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", so from this point of view, will the decisions made by Meng Tian stationed in the frontier during this period also carry a little personal emotion of his own. We will not mention how Qin Shi Huang established great achievements for the time being, but through some articles, it can be seen that wars exist, and the rush of soldiers is also objective and cannot be changed. The original of this is not easy to analyze.

What's more, combined with the reality at the time, the Qin State was already the target of public criticism, because the later Qin Shi Huang pursued "immortality" and indulged in seeking alchemy, so that he was not so concerned about political affairs, and even for talented and ambitious people, he was full of bad behaviors, and the sergeants may be sad about what he did in the later period. I also saw that if this continues, there will only be such a road as the destruction of the country. We usually say that those who know the times are handsome, and whether a monarch who has no popular support and whose combat effectiveness has declined is still worth the protection of these 500,000 people, I believe that this is also the primary question that the generals who led the army at that time pondered.

Qin Shi Huang asked Zhao Tuo and Meng Tian to stabilize the border, and it was impossible for the border army to move without an edict.

This is talking about the majesty of Qin Shi Huang back then, when Qin Shi Huang gave a death order to the troops guarding the frontier, no matter what happened in the interior, the army could not move, and continued to defend the frontier.

If the soldiers guarding the border pass leave casually, then how can the border pass change, they are not afraid that the enemy will drive straight in, and they will not give orders, so there is no way to save them.

Military orders are like mountains, when they were sent by Qin Shi Huang to guard the frontier, people could not leave the frontier without authorization, and there may not have been Qin Shi Huang's order to a certain extent, the second is that the two are far apart, maybe they can not save the country when they arrive, and this may also cause the loss of the frontier.

First of all, the army is strictly disciplined, and since Meng Tian and Zhao Tuo were sent to the border, they should do a good job of guarding the border and obey the arrangement. The emperor did not give orders, and they could not act on their own. In addition, the destruction of the Qin Dynasty was already the general trend, and even if they returned, they would not be able to win.

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gaoli Si coup d'état forced the Northern Army general Meng Tian to death, and then Wang Li took over, the battle of Julu, because Zhang Han, who protected the grain transportation channel, did not fight, resulting in Wang Li's army being cut off from grain and grass and was finally defeated by Xiang Yu's army, the most elite 200,000 Great Wall troops of Qin were wiped out, and Qin was destroyed.

On the one hand, the remaining forces of the Six Kingdoms were still there, and as soon as Qin Shi Huang died, all countries wanted to restore, and the people's hearts were not aligned, and on the other hand, Zhao Tuo may have wanted to establish himself as the king and be in a corner of peace, so he did not participate in the Central Plains War.

This is because Qin Shi Huang, in order to stabilize his rule there, ordered Zhao Tuo not to return no matter what happened in the Central Plains, and asked him to defend the south.

Because at the beginning, in order to develop Lingnan and stabilize the frontier, Qin Shi Huang issued a death order to Zhao Tuo that no matter what happened in the Central Plains, he could not go north. So when the Central Plains fell into chaos, Zhao Tuo always stood still. When he learned that Liu Bang had won the world, Zhao Tuo felt that the general trend of the Qin Dynasty had gone, so he established the Nanyue Kingdom with Wuling as the boundary, and this army of 500,000 also integrated into the Lingnan population and became the ancestor of all ethnic groups in Lingnan.

Because there is a Mao Dun on the upper road with a line, and there is Baiyue on the lower road stealing the tower, and he can't leave.

When the Qin State fell, the Qin State still had 500,000 troops in the far south, but at that time, these troops did not return to defense, but chose to stay in the local area, the main reasons:

1.The Qin army had already taken root in the local area and was unwilling to return to defend the Qin state.

2.Qin II was unpopular, and the generals of the Qin army were unwilling to save him.

3.Lingnan is located in a remote area, and it is very difficult to return to defense, and it is too late to rescue.

3. Lingnan is located in a remote area, and the time for defense is too long, and it is completely too late to rescue. Lingnan is located in a remote area, Qin is in the west, if you want to go back to defend Qin, you need logistics supplies**, Lingnan can't ** at that time, and if these soldiers go back to defense, it will take a long time, when Qin II succeeded to the throne for only three years, Qin was destroyed, and the 500,000 army wanted to go back to defense, and it was completely too late to rescue.

Personally, I think the reason why the 500,000 soldiers at that time did not return to the defense was because they felt that the policies of the Qin Dynasty were too strict and they did not want to maintain them.

Because those soldiers had lost confidence in the Qin Dynasty and were unwilling to work for the Qin State anymore, they did not return to defense.

Communication lags behind. In ancient times, the conditions were limited, and it was impossible to convey information to the soldiers outside in time, so they simply did not have time to come back to the rescue.

Because the demise of the Qin Dynasty was doomed, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty outside no longer belonged to the Qin Dynasty at that time, so there was no reinforcement.

Because they followed the orders of Qin Shi Huang, no matter what the situation inside the Central Plains, they could only garrison the frontier to prevent foreign invasion.

Because these hundreds of thousands of troops are in the Lingnan region, far away from the capital, there is no time to rescue.

The million-strong army of the Qin State were ordinary people, peasants, and when they brought ** during the war, their armor and horses became the Qin army. Without war, they farmed and became peasants, so when the Qin State fell, they were powerless to change the fate of the country, so they became peasants.

At that time, the old Qin general had already entered the ground and could not come out to save the country. However, there is a grandson of an old Qin general who came out to save the country, and inherited the wisdom and courage of his father, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country.

When the Qin Dynasty fell, the Qin army and the old Qin generals were cultivating in their camps, and they felt that the country was not good at all and would perish sooner or later, so they did not come out to save the country.

They are all guarding the border and have never come back to save the country. Zhao Tuo led an army of 800,000 to defend the south. Defend the southern frontier for Daqin.

As far as I know, the main force of the Qin army did not save Qin because of its weakness, after all, the distance from the garrison to the national capital is far away, and the logistics of grain and grass cannot keep up; In addition, if you leave the station, you may be invaded by foreign enemies.

After the unification of the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang created the title of Emperor and wanted to pass on the throne to several generations. In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang died of illness during a travel. His second son, Hu Hai, succeeded to the throne.

Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Li Si falsely passed the edict. The two princes, Fusu and Meng Tian, committed suicide. The Great Qin Empire was in jeopardy.

The following year, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang came to power and established the Zhang Chu regime. Soon, the Qin uprising broke out. Less than three months after the uprising, some people in Zhao, Qi, Yan, Wei and other places established national kings under the banner of restoring the Six Kingdoms.

Chen Shengwu's army was unstoppable, and soon attacked the Guanzhong area, approaching Hangu Pass.

At that time, Zhang Han, the young master, became the military pillar of the Qin Dynasty. At his suggestion, Qin II ordered the release of prisoners who had worked hard in Lishan, and temporarily formed a brand army of more than 200,000 yuan. Although this motley army was very strong in combat, it not only annihilated the millions of troops in the Hangu Pass uprising, but also defeated Chen Sheng and Hexiang Liang, but it could not reverse the decline.

The Qin dynasty fell in 207 BC.

As we all know, after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang sent 500,000 elite troops to the Hundred Territories. A few years later, Lingnan finally entered the territory of Daqin. After that, the Qin army did not return to the dynasty, but was ordered to stay in Lingnan and marry the locals and have children.

So the question is, why didn't the 500,000 Qin soldiers in Lingnan rescue them at the critical juncture of the Qin Dynasty? There could be two reasons for this.

During the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, Ren Xiao was the leader of the 500,000 Qin troops stationed in Lingnan. Of course, he knew that the Qin Dynasty was in danger of extinction. However, due to the backward transportation conditions at that time, it took a long time to get from Lingnan to Xianyang, the provincial capital.

Especially in the case of 500,000 troops, it is difficult to maintain logistical support such as food, grass and ordnance. Even if he wanted to send troops to the king, the chances of success were slim, the so-called "powerlessness". When the Qin Dynasty fell, why didn't the 500,000 Qin soldiers save them?

There could be two reasons for this.

In 208 BC, Ren Xiao fell seriously ill. Before his death, he handed over the power to Zhao Tuo. He explained to him that he relied on the favorable terrain of Nanhai County, surrounded by mountains and seas, and had risks to rely on, in order to resist the invasion of the rebel forces in the Central Plains.

After that, Zhao Tuo closed all the passes to the Central Plains and gave up sending troops to rescue the troubled Qin Empire.

2. Decree of Qin Shi Huang.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo formed an army and merged Guilin and Xiang counties. With the support of the local Han and Yue ethnic groups, Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue State with Panyu as the capital and a radius of thousands of miles. He called himself the "King of Nanyue".

Later, under the persuasion of others, Zhao Tuo surrendered to the Han Dynasty, making Nanyue a vassal state of the Han Dynasty and paying tribute to the imperial court. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, South Vietnam was destroyed.

At that time, the main force of the Qin army was not in the Guanzhong area, either to build the Great Wall in the north or in the south, and at that time Zhao Gao had already ordered the execution of Meng Tian, the general was not there, and the Qin army was leaderless.

Because the main force of the Qin army is not in the national capital, it is very difficult to go back, and it is also powerless.

The main force of the Qin army did not want to save Qin, but because of the weakness of the heart, the main force of the Qin army was stationed, which was far away from the national capital, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and without strong logistics, the main force of the Qin army could not leave the station.

As the saying goes: "The wall falls down and everyone pushes it", after years of forced expropriation and enslavement of the people by the Qin Dynasty, in fact, many of the main officers and soldiers of the Qin army have been dissatisfied with them, which is also the reason why they did not save the Qin Dynasty.

<> "The Qin Dynasty is an important dynasty in Chinese history, and it existed for 15 years. During this time, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and had a profound impact on Chinese history. However, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, why didn't the 500,000 Qin people save the Qin Dynasty?

First of all, it is important to understand that not all of the 500,000 are elites, and that includes some newcomers and non-combatants. Due to the lack of combat experience and insufficient equipment of these personnel, it was difficult for them to play their due role in the face of the Han.

Secondly, it is important to understand that the Han Dynasty already had a strong army at the beginning of its establishment. Liu Bang himself was an outstanding person, and the team he led performed well on the battlefield. In addition, the Han dynasty also received support and assistance from other princes, which made it even more powerful.

Finally, it is important to understand that the Qin Dynasty had already fallen into a difficult situation both internally and externally before its demise. Corruption, poor livelihoods, and social unrest intensified, leading to the demise of the Qin Dynasty. In such a situation, it is difficult to reverse the situation.

To sum up, first, Qin Zhong included some non-elite and newcomers; second, due to the strength of the Han Dynasty itself and the support of other princes, the Han Dynasty was even stronger; The third is that the Qin Dynasty had fallen into internal and external difficulties before its demise.

800,000 Qin troops sat back and watched the cause of the fall of the Qin Dynasty:

Most of these Qin troops were arranged to defend the stability of the motherland on the southern border, no matter what the chaos of the Central Plains became, as long as the stability of the border was maintained, they would not be easily invaded by foreign races. The army on the border consciously shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the country, and even if the country was destroyed, it never withdrew the border army.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, a large number of elite Qin troops were set up on the border, and only a very small number of soldiers and horses were left to defend the Central Plains, so Xiang Yu was able to take the capital of Qin in one fell swoop. In such a dangerous situation, the Qin Dynasty's border army did not withdraw to ** because it was necessary to defend the Central Plains from being invaded by foreign races, and such a spirit was really rare.

If the army in Lingnan wants to support, it has to face the problem of grain and grass. If they stay in the border and Qiaojiang safely, they can also protect ** from foreign invasion.

If Lingnan leads hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard**, the pressure on grain and grass is too great, and the Central Plains itself is difficult to protect, let alone the reasonable distribution of military rations, so the Lingnan army does not dare to act rashly.

The Lingnan army was not allowed to bring its own grain and grass, because Lingnan was very poor, and the grain and grass were self-sufficient by the border army, and even if there was a large amount of grain and grass, there were many inconveniences on the march, so it was naturally impossible to carry it.

The Lingnan army was not as well-trained and orderly as we thought, and in fact the Lingnan army was very scattered. Because the southern territory is very large.

The army cannot all stay in the same place, waste resources, and everyone will inevitably be scattered. In this way, no matter where there is a rebellion, it can respond in time to suppress it.

Therefore, the Qin army located in different places had their own superior leaders, and they were accustomed to obeying their local superiors, and each had a different command.

Therefore, after the rebellion in the Central Plains, it was difficult for these armies to form a whole to help**, because they did not have a command that could bring everyone together, so such an army naturally could not save the Qin Dynasty.
