Battle of Hanquan

The exact time of the Battle of Hanquan cannot be verified. The background was a large-scale war that broke out after Yan Di and Huangdi defeated Chiyou for the rule of the Central Plains. In this war, Yan Di and Huangdi Imperial Capital were their old nests. Unfortunately, the tribal alliance in Yan Di (there was no concept of state at that time, only tribal divisions) was dominated by agriculture, so it was deadlocked for three years, and finally it was defeated by the Yellow Emperor. I was captured by the Yellow Emperor.

Because the Battle of Hanquan only exists in earlier historical materials, such as A New Story of Han History and Guoyu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many records are false, such as the legend that Huangdi defeated Yandi with the help of immortals. However, it is undeniable that the end of the Battle of Hanquan means that the Chinese nation has truly appeared in the world's national forest since then, and it also means that the history of Chinese civilization has finally turned a new page.

Battle of Mu Ye

The time of the Battle of Mu Ye should be 1046 BC. Its background is that Yin, Yin and Han were ambushed by new forces during their journey abroad, eventually defeated and the Shang Dynasty perished. This war is a typical case of preemptive strike in the history of China, and it is also the first bloody and cruel internal power struggle in the history of China. According to historical research, as many as180,000 people were slaughtered after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, and these figures include not only prisoners of war, but also civilians and children. In addition, there were as many as 3,000 people (Shang nobles, who were to be killed to worship heaven) who were later taken to the capital of Zhou State.

The end of Mu Ye War means that China has since opened a new chapter in ritual and music culture, and it also means that China has started its first comprehensive cultural renaissance. In addition, the superb strategy and battlefield art displayed in Makino War also provided great help for China's later military thought.

Battle of Changping

The battle of Changping took place in about 260 BC, and the background was that Qin, the seven heroes of the Warring States, attacked South Korea and forced it to cede Shangdang County. However, Shangdang county magistrate was unwilling to join Qin State, so he took everyone to Zhao State, and Zhao State agreed to join. Therefore, Qin launched an attack on Zhao. It is worth mentioning that from the beginning to the end of the battle of Changping, the actual fighting time between the two sides exceeded two years. The final result of the war was that the general of Qin defeated Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao in vain, and finally won the victory for Qin with the brilliant result of killing 400,000 people.

The reason why the Battle of Changping has the ability to change the historical pattern is that after the Battle of Changping, Zhao was completely defeated, and the only country among the seven warring states countries that could compete with Qin declared its decline. Coupled with the end of the battle of Changping, it declared that Qin completely opened the door to the East, which was a great help for the first emperor to unify the whole country.

The Battle of Qin Destroying Six Countries

Strictly speaking, the battle of Qin to destroy the six countries should be six wars, but because this process is too simple, it only suffered some setbacks when attacking Chu. The sequence and situation of Qin's destruction of the six countries are as follows: Shi Teng destroyed South Korea in 230 BC, Wang Jian destroyed Zhao in 229 BC, Wang Ben destroyed Wei in 229 BC, Wang Jian destroyed Chu in 224 BC, Wang Jian destroyed Yan in 222 BC, and 2265438 BC+. From then on, Qin completely wiped out the six countries in Shandong and successfully unified the world.

The importance of Qin's war to destroy the six countries is self-evident, because without this war, we would probably be a small country in the west now. Moreover, it was precisely because of the great talent and great ingenuity of the first emperor that a sample was laid for all the emperors and rulers of later generations, that is, what a real dynasty should look like (unity and complete sovereignty).

Five chaos in China (sixteen countries scuffle)

The Five Chaos in China is a great disaster for our Chinese nation. In the catastrophe, the Han people in the north were almost slaughtered and countless cultural classics were set on fire. It can be said that after this chaotic war, the development of our civilization has almost stagnated or even regressed. The five chaos began in 3 16 and ended in 439. In this chaotic war, the North, which was originally the economic core, declined completely. In a short period of one hundred years, sixteen countries rose in the North, and each replacement of these countries meant the death of countless people.

The melee of sixteen countries in China changed the historical pattern of our country, because the north, which was the main ruling place at that time, completely fell, so the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of gentry and civilians flocked to the south. Before this, the south was not particularly developed and was not suitable for the influx of a large number of people. But because of this, the economy and culture of the south have developed rapidly, which is also an unexpected surprise for future generations.
