When Chu and Han fought, where were the million Qin troops back then, and what happened later?

Because at that time, the strength of the Qin State had declined, and the million-strong army actually ceased to exist. So there weren't that many armies.

Most of the Qin soldiers scattered throughout the country were wiped out, surrendered, or fled. Wang Li, the main general of the Battle of Julu, was captured, the deputy general Shima committed suicide, Su Jiao was killed in the battle, and the 200,000 Great Wall Corps of the Qin Army were all wiped out, either dead or surrendered.

They surrendered to Liu Bang or Xiang Yu one after another. During the period of the Chu-Han war, the millions of Qin troops of that year were forced to surrender to Liu Bang or Xiang Yu one after another.

When Chu and Han fought, there was actually no Great Qin Empire, and the army at this time could not be said to be the Qin army. But to trace the whereabouts of the millions of Qin troops that year, we can analyze it from the late Qin wars.

First, Wang Li's Jiuyuan Army.

This army was originally led by Meng Tian, built the Great Wall, stationed the border to defend against the Xiongnu, and was supervised by Gongzi Fusu, which can be said to be the most elite army in Great Qin, with a number of about 30-400,000. Later, Gongzi Fusu committed suicide, Meng Tian was killed, and the army was handed over to Wang Li to lead.

After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, this army was not actually mobilized, and it was not until the later period that Xiang Liang and others led the Six Kingdoms to revolt, and Wang Li led the 100,000 Jiuyuan army south to quell the rebellion. Leaving more than 200,000 troops stationed in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong County, after all, the northern defense line was too long, and Wang Li did not dare to send too many troops to participate in the war to prevent the invasion of the Xiongnu.

Leaving aside the details of the war for the time being, Wang Li's 100,000-strong army was finally captured by Xiang Yu, and Wang Li was captured.

Second, the South Vietnamese Army led by Zhao Tuo.

In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor (219 BC), Qin Shi Huang sent Tu Sui as the main general and Zhao Tuo as the deputy general to lead an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan, and later Tu Sui died in the war to pacify Lingnan, and Zhao Tuo finally commanded the army stationed in South Vietnam, and did not support a single soldier in the war at the end of Qin, and finally established the South Yue State.

Therefore, this 500,000-strong South Vietnamese army suddenly transferred a large part of the combat strength of the Great Qin Army, so that the Qin Dynasty could not mobilize troops to suppress the uprising for a period of time.

Third, the Lishan Army led by Zhang Han.

This regiment was formed on an improvised basis and could not be discussed in the regular army. This army was about 700,000, and it was formed by convicts with average combat effectiveness, and there were still 200,000 left in the war, and they were finally killed by Xiang Yukeng. Among these 700,000 legions, there must be more than convicts, there must also be local armies.

Fourth, the guards of the capital.

It is recorded in the historical records that there were about 50,000 troops, which were temporarily gathered by Wei Wei, Lang Zhongling, and Nei Shi Ling to resist the peasant army Song Liu's army. Later, Song Liu was defeated by the Lishan Army led by Zhang Han, and this army of tens of thousands of people was still stationed in Xianyang, and was finally absorbed by Xiang Yu.

First of all, the most elite Jiuyuan Army was led by Meng Tian at the beginning, and after the Qin II took the throne and killed Meng Tian and Fusu in the later period, this army was absent-minded, and later Wang Li brought 200,000 troops into the pass to quell the chaos and was defeated by Xiang Yu, resulting in all the later being killed by Xiang Yu, and then the 500,000 troops of the Southern Corps blocked the road when the Qin Dynasty was in turmoil, and began to stand on its own.

At that time, the millions of Qin troops were in the border pass, and they went to guard the border pass on the order of Qin Shi Huang. Later, they all lived in the border area, because the Qin Dynasty fell, and they didn't need to fight anymore, so they lived an ordinary life.

After the baptism of war, the million Qin army was less than a million, and was later killed by Xiang Yukeng. In history, there were eight generals who killed surrendered soldiers, and Xiang Yu was one of them.

Millions of Qin troops, there were 300,000 Meng Tian to guard the Xiongnu, 500,000 Zhao Tuo to guard South China, and later Liu Bang unified the world, these Qin troops did not fight with Liu Bang, and directly submitted to the Han Dynasty.

Most of these armies were guarding the frontier areas, and the Qin Dynasty attached great importance to the frontier areas, so without the emperor's mobilization, they could not act rashly, and in the end most of them became soldiers of the new dynasty.

At that time, the millions of Qin troops were wiped out by the rebel army, Wang Li's 200,000 Great Wall Corps was annihilated by Xiang Yu, and Zhang Han was also defeated by Xiang Yu.

At that time, the million-strong Qin army was sent to the frontier by Qin Shi Huang to defend against the Xiongnu, and later Liu Bang ascended the throne, and they submitted to Liu Bang.

1.The Great Wall Army led by Wang Li led an army of 100,000 to quell the rebellion, and the rest continued to garrison the Great Wall. Wang Li was defeated and captured by Xiang Yu.

2.The South Vietnamese army led by Zhao Tuo established itself as king and did not support Qin.

3.The 200,000 army led by Zhang Han was defeated by Xiang Yu, and Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu. was later killed by Xiang Yukeng.

According to the records of "Historical Records: The Biography of Wang Jian Lie", after the Qin general Wang Jian led 600,000 Qin troops to destroy the Chu State, except for some Qin troops stationed in Chu, the rest of the Qin army immediately quickly plunged into the war against Baiyue. At the end of Qin, when the world was in turmoil, due to the fact that the land of Baiyue had not been completely pacified, coupled with the influence of factors such as the unpopularity of Qin II, the 300,000 Qin troops did not go north to help.

According to the records of "Historical Records: The Biography of Meng Tian", after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, Meng Tian, the general of Qin, led 300,000 Qin troops to garrison Shangjun for more than ten years, and while building the Great Wall, he defended the Xiongnu from going south. Nor did they go south to help.

The Qin general Wang Li's remaining border army was only about 100,000. At the end of Qin, when the world was in turmoil, Qin II ordered Wang Li to lead an army to attack Zhao. Therefore, Wang Li led the only remaining more than 100,000 Shangjun border troops, attacked Zhao through Jingcheng Pass, and after defeating the Zhao army, Zhao Xie, the king of Zhao, besieged Julu City.

After receiving King Zhao's request for help, Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, took Song Yi, the champion of Qingzi, as the main commander, Xiang Yu as the deputy general, and Fan Zeng, the father of Yafu, as the last general, and led 60,000 Chu troops to the north to rescue. After Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, he immediately led this reinforcement army to attack Julu, and launched a fierce attack on the Qin army with the strategy of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat", besieging and eliminating Wang Li's army.

At the end of Qin, the field troops of the Qin army were mainly divided into three parts, the Great Wall Army, the Zhang Han Army and an expeditionary army of the male side Baiyue. The Great Wall Army was wiped out by Xiang Yu in the North in the Battle of Julu, and the Zhang Han Army was also defeated by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, and later after several defeats, finally surrendered to Xiang Yu. The Baiyue Army was in the south at that time, and when they saw that the Central Plains was rotten, they decided to retreat to protect themselves and did not participate in the Chu-Han War.

At that time, the main force of the Qin army mainly consisted of two parts, one was Meng Tian's Great Wall Army, and the other was Zhao Tuo's Southern Army, the Great Wall Army since the death of the commander Meng Tian, has become a plate of scattered sand, and was later wiped out by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, and the Southern Army itself blocked the road to the Central Plains, so the first great empire in Chinese history perished.

The million Qin army of 600,000 was defending South China, and the remaining 400,000 were guarding the Xiongnu, so the Chu and Han dynasties did not appear for the million Qin army.

When Chu and Han fought, the millions of Qin troops were guarding the frontier, because they wanted to prevent the invasion of the Xiongnu, and later Liu Bang became the emperor, and they became the Han army and continued to guard the frontier.

Millions of Qin troops were stationed on the Great Wall to prevent the Xiongnu from attacking, and secondly, in South China. Did not participate in the civil war.

When Qin destroyed the country, 600,000 elite Qin troops were guarding the Great Wall, which was the old department of General Meng Tian at that time, after General Meng Tian was killed by Hu Hai and the eunuch Zhao Gao, the second emperor of Qin, his old department was not willing to serve the tyrannical Qin, and then it was difficult to save the fire from far away, and at that time Zhangdan's 400,000 troops were near Xianyang, the battle of Julu, the slaves who were held in the front of the Zhangdan army defected, resulting in the defeat of the Qin army, Xianyang was in danger, and the elite of the border pass was too late to rescue at this time;

When the Qin Dynasty destroyed the country, millions of Qin troops guarded the Great Wall in the north and divided the territory in the south.

At that time, a main force of the Qin army was guarding the Great Wall in the north to resist the Xiongnu. As soon as the coaches Meng Tian and Fusu died, the army's morale was weakened, and Zhao Gao was not trusted, so there was no outstanding performance in the northern military reform.

After the other army conquered Lingnan, it had already taken root in the south and became Zhao Tuo's private army, which directly seized the region and established itself as king when Qin died.

400,000 troops are guarding southern Xinjiang, and at least 20-300,000 troops are guarding against nomads in the north, and counting the troops scattered in the original six countries, the army composed of the old Qin people is outside, and there are almost only a few troops in the country.

When the Qin State was destroyed, Meng Tian and others were leading people to guard the border passes and open up the territory.

Therefore, Meng Tian and they never returned to the court.

After Qin's annihilation, the army either surrendered to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, or disarmed and returned to the countryside.

The north is destroyed, and the south is being divided.

Losing their combat effectiveness, all of them are useless, some are disbanded, some are sick and die. After a long period of not fighting, the commanders died one after another, leading to collapse.

People die and politics rest, and politics and the country die. When a country's monarch is mediocre, its politics are often in shambles, and at a certain point, the government becomes useless to the country, then the country must change the dynasty. This is not simply a question of military power.

The country was devastated, on fire everywhere, and the people were forced to have only one path of revolution, and such a regime was not destined to last long.

It's best not to get entangled in this kind of thing about history, first, the content of the TV series is unreliable, it is absolute, and second, even if the things recorded in the history books are not necessarily true, history is not written in the hands of those in power, even the people of that era may not be able to figure it out, just like us ordinary people, we may not all be clear about the alternation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and what we know may not be true, so it is probably okay to know the historical things, and there is no need to be entangled.

The Qin Dynasty organized a huge army and launched a powerful offensive against the Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south. After that, Qin Shi Huang ordered his eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian to prepare for the border together, and organized the country's most elite army into two heavy army groups, distributed along the Great Wall and the Nanling Mountains, while the vast hinterland of the Central Plains, which was increasingly unstable, was empty and overstretched. In addition, the two major heavy military groups in the north and south are separated by thousands of miles, and there is no important military town in the middle to rely on to hold on, so it is strategically difficult to echo each other from afar, and it is very easy to be divided.

In addition, due to the intermittent military rations, the Nanling garrison sometimes had to take grain on the spot, so many soldiers were dissatisfied, and the centrifugal mood became more and more intense. Moreover, the three southern counties (Guilin, Xiangjun, and Nanhai) were far away from the center of Qin rule, and once the military mentality changed, the mountains and rivers were far away, and it was difficult to control. After the Kwantung Rebellion, the garrison of the Qin Dynasty in the South Vietnam region blocked the road and refused to be transferred.

The Qin Dynasty has one less of the two heavy military groups, just like a crab that can't do it.

In fact, when the Qin Dynasty fell, the military strength of the Qin State was still very strong, but it was just not needed.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the First Emperor established three major legions, namely the Mengtian Northern Frontier Legion to resist the Xiongnu, the ** Legion directly under the royal family, and the Southern Frontier Legion to conquer South Vietnam.

During the reign of Qin II Huhai, the commanders of the Northern Frontier Army, Meng Tian, Fusu, and Meng Yi died successively, and the Northern Frontier Army was not trusted, coupled with the attack of the Xiongnu, and finally lost its combat effectiveness.

**The legion eventually lost its sharpness due to the peace of the world, and the elite was internally attrition or transferred to the two major armies in the north and south.

The Southern Xinjiang Army was trapped in Southern Xinjiang by the second commander, Zhao Tuo, and could not move, so almost all of Wang Qian's million-strong army to destroy Zhao and Chu was abolished.

And after the second came to power, with Zhao Gao coming to power, the former famous generals were either killed or old.

Qin II did not sweep anything.
