In fact, although Sima Xin in history was not as famous as Meng Tian, Zhang Han and others.
However, he is indeed not a simple person.
It can be said that he also had his part in ruining Qin Chao.
In the original history, Sima Xin assisted Zhang Han in fighting. After the defeat in the Battle of Julu, Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi surrendered to Xiang Yu. .They are King Yong, King Sai, and King Zhai, known as the Three Qins.
And why was Sima Xin one of Zhang Han's lieutenants, and after he surrendered to Xiang Yu, he became as famous as Zhang Han?
In fact, it was Sima Xin who caused Zhang Han to vote for Chu.
According to historical records, Sima Xin has always been Zhang Han's confidant. When Zhang Han lost consecutively after the Battle of Julu, Zhang Han sent Sima Xin to Xianyang to meet Zhao Gao, but Sima Xin didn't see Zhao Gao, so he ran back and told Zhang Han. Han, said that Zhao Gao wanted to kill you.There were tigers in front of Zhang Han and wolves in back, and he simply surrendered, thus ruining the Qin Dynasty.
One possible explanation is that when Zhang Han lost consecutively after the Battle of Julu, Chu Fang contacted Sima Xin privately through Cao Jiu, and formulated a plan to force Zhang Han to rebel.Because despite Zhang Han's repeated defeats, there are still more than 20 powerful troops under his command. It is very difficult for Xiang Yu to completely defeat the cunning and skilled Zhang Han.It is the best choice to be able to defeat others without fighting.
Sima Xin made great contributions to Xiang Yu's victory in the world, so he was able to rank among the princes.
After Zhang Han returned with more than 20 powerful troops, Xiang Yu killed all the Qin army, leaving only Zhang Han Sima Xin and Dong Yi. This also shows that Zhang Han's surrender is not that simple.
From this point of view, Sima Xin, a character who has always been neglected by people, has extremely deep scheming, and directly killed Zhang Han and the last 20 Qin troops of the entire Qin Dynasty!Of course, it was at this moment that Qin Chao was truly finished.
…………
After days of marching, several days later, Li Yang finally entered the Dajiang River Basin with five hundred feathers.
Li Yang did not choose to go directly to Kuaiji County, Pei County, and Sishui County to quell the chaos, but directly entered Dongyang County.
Yes, it is his own fiefdom.
In fact, Dongyang County, Kuaiji County, Pei County, and Sishui County are all adjacent to each other. In the words of later generations, they all belong to the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province.
Wang Youxian, the governor of Dongyang County, learned that Li Yang, the Prime Minister of the Central Committee, would pass by Huaiyin County, the county he belongs to, and took the county officials to Huaiyin County early to greet him outside the city.
The people of Huaiyin County even spontaneously cleaned the roads in the city, and gathered outside the city to wait for their Lord Yanghou to see the true face of this benefactor.
In the hearts of the people in Dongyang County, they are all grateful to Li Yang.
Dongyang County, as Li Yang's fiefdom, Li Yang not only exempted the people of Dongyang County from paying taxes for three years, but also implemented a new project bidding policy during the famine, and used businessmen to ameliorate the disaster, saving their local people.
Now, the men in the family have all gone to work on the construction site, and the old and weak women and the poor have received the money and food prepaid by the businessman and survived.
In the face of such a great kindness, knowing that the Marquis of Yang is coming, how can he not join the road to greet him?
Outside the city of Huaiyin, there was already a sea of people.
Suddenly, I don't know who it is, pointing to the front and shouting: "Look, they are coming, Yanghou and the others are coming!"
Immediately, countless people hurriedly raised their eyes and looked into the distance...
I saw, behind the hills in the distance, a cluster of black shadows appeared in the sight of everyone.
As the cluster of black shadows got closer and closer, everyone gradually heard the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes. Looking around, a group of torrents with black flags and black armors were rushing towards this side.
When the torrent got closer, everyone saw a white shadow in front of the black torrent with black flag and armor, which was eye-catching.
This person is dressed in a majestic armor, riding a white horse, with an iron sword on his waist, like the proud son of heaven, with a majestic air.
When everyone was amazed, this group of Habayashi troops arrived.
Immediately, the rope was tightened, the horses neighed, and the cavalry habayashi army phalanx composed of hundreds of people stopped in front of everyone.
These Habayashi soldiers, because the armor on their bodies is obviously different from that of the frontier army and the garrisons in various places, not only the armor is black and thick, it looks more mighty, but also there is a black iron mask under their helmets, the black mask is hideous Horror, it looks chilling, like a devil running out of hell.
In addition, there was a long feather on their helmets, and each of them didn't look like soldiers at all, but like a large group of mighty generals.
In short, these ordinary people who had never seen the Habayashi Army were all silenced by this chilling aura.
But in front of these devil-like phalanxes, the handsome young general on a white horse made people feel a bit of gentleness.
Everyone knows that this young general on a white horse is the prestigious Prime Minister of Great Qin Zhong, Marquis Yang.
"Wang Youxian, Governor of Dongyang County, see Prime Minister Zhong!"
When Wang Youxian saw Li Yang, he smiled happily, and hurriedly bowed his hands and greeted him.
The county officials and Huaiyin county officials behind him also bowed and bowed: "See Prime Minister Zhong.
"People of Huaiyin, welcome the Marquis of Yang!"
Tens of thousands of people also bowed their hands and shouted together, the momentum was overwhelming!
Li Yang was extremely excited when he heard this deafening voice.
Li Yang was very moved to receive such a warm welcome from the common people in his Shiyi fiefdom.
This time I can be regarded as "going home"!
Chapter 1 Dispatch of troops
Looking at the countless people who came out of the city to greet him, Li Yang, as a traveler, was overwhelmed and emotional.
The reason why Daqin is poor is actually the most fatal reason is the title of military merit.
Although Qin Shihuang abolished the system of enfeoffing princes after the unification of the six countries. Except for the marquis, other titles only lived on salary and did not have fiefdoms. Countless.
For example, "Gongshi", the lowest level in Qin State's "Twenty-level Military Merit System", only needs to capture the head of an enemy soldier to obtain the title of "Gongshi", and you can also get Tian Yiqing, Fang Yiqing, etc. room, one servant.
And these military meritorious titles became the deadliest burden of Daqin.
They not only have fields, houses, but also servants. After the world is settled, they will have more salaries.
Therefore, since Qin unified the six kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of military meritorious titles did not engage in production, and became the largest landlord class in Qin, eating the state's salary and exploiting the bottom tenants.
More importantly, these people no longer serve in the army. It can be said that a large part of Qin's taxation is to support the group of upstart landlords with military titles.
Later generations, because of the strength of the country, can afford millions of retirees in the system, which still makes social security a big deficit, not to mention the Qin State in this era, it is even more difficult.
Especially for a Marquis like himself who directly turned the taxation of a county into private property.
It can be said that after Qin unified the six kingdoms, the people were poor and the country was poor. On the contrary, hundreds of thousands of upstarts who had made military exploits, and the old Qin gentry and nobles in the past, lived happily and extremely richly.
This is also why, the high price of the baijiu brewed by the Ba family is also the best-seller, because although Qin is poor, it is only because all the wealth of the country has been in the hands of these new rich and old gentry.
Li Yang knew that in order to make the Qin State truly strong, it would not be enough to rely solely on light corvee, but also to fight against landlords, divide the land, change the current private ownership of land into state public ownership, and develop the development route of land contracting.
Of course, it is impossible to act rashly right now, because this involves the interests of the rich and powerful. Once reforms are made easily, they may not know how they died, so they can only take one step at a time.
In the past, the public law was abolished, and corvee was lightened. These reforms did not affect the interests of any dignitaries, so even if Feng and Meng wanted to suppress Li Yang, they would still support such a new deal. There is no harm to the interests.
