Chapter 372
?Hearing this, I suddenly remembered a conversation that Mr. Zhang Xingkuo and me told me. That conversation was an amazing news that Professor Li Mengfan said when he was "confessing" all the truth.
According to him, when Qin Shihuang was the monarch of Qin, Qin's national strength reached the most powerful era. At that time, Qin had a total population of 6 million, but their army had more than 1.5 million, which was equivalent to one soldier among the four people.
In other words, in the Qin State, three ordinary farmers had to raise one to join the army to fight for Qin Shihuang. This ratio was impossible before liberation, neither the Japanese nor the Kuomintang nor the Communist Party. Professor Li Mengfan even dared to say that no country in the world could do this.
Yes, when the Communist Party conquered the world, hundreds of millions of people in China supported their hundreds of thousands of troops behind their backs, which was equivalent to thousands of people raising one to join the army to fight. But even so, the Communist soldiers were not full and could not wear warm clothes. You can think about it. The three people in the Qin Shihuang Empire had to support one to join the army. How could this be possible? So, there is only one truth, that is, Qin Shihuang's army does not need to eat or provide supplies at all.
When I heard that sentence, I was naturally very surprised, because anyone with a little brain could hear the clues in this sentence. So I always think that the words Professor Li Mengfan said were just inferences. Now it has been thousands of years since the time of Qin Shihuang, and these incredible things were mostly fabricated by later generations.
Later, as I learned more and more about the truth of everything, I also turned around and thought about this matter again. At that time, I had deeply seen the power of the "Sansheng Bone-Devouring Pill", but I still didn't believe that most of the army that Qin Shihuang used to unify the six kingdoms were dead soldiers who swallowed the "Sansheng Bone-Devouring Pills". Those dead soldiers were not afraid of the cold, not afraid of knife cutting, and did not have to eat food. As long as Qin Shihuang gave his order, these dead soldiers would all come out and beat the enemy in one fell swoop.
But until today, until we stand in front of Qin Shihuang and until he tells the truth about this incident, we have to accept that the martyrs who were once the first monarch to unify China, and the martyrs under his command were all walking dead.
According to Qin Shihuang, it took him ten years to unify the six countries, and consumed more than 900,000 "troop forces" in total, almost exhausting all the young labor force in Qin.
Behind the more than 900,000 "Death Army", Xu Fu refined a total of millions of "Sansheng Bone-Devouring Pills". The number of vengeful spirits consumed is far from estimating, and at least about 2 million. The sources of such vengeful spirits are mostly soldiers who surrendered by other six countries, soldiers killed during the battle, and even nearly 30% of innocent people.
In fact, at the beginning, Qin Shihuang didn't know that it would cost such a great price to unify the six countries. In his opinion, this almost invincible "walking dead" only takes tens of thousands of yuan to defeat the other six countries.
But what surprised him was that when he first invested 90,000 "Death Army" to attack South Korea, one of the six countries, there were too many corpses on the battlefield and there was no time to deal with them. When the weather was hot, the growth of maggots was too fast, which led to the rapid growth of maggots in most of his "Death Army" as well.
In this way, although Qin State captured South Korea in one fell swoop, its "Death Army" also dissipated and turned into a pile of bones. However, even so, Qin Shihuang was extremely satisfied with the capture of South Korea with such a small amount of troops.
During the subsequent battles, every time Qin Shihuang took over a country, Qin would lose nearly 100,000 troops. The reason why it took him nearly ten years to completely capture the six countries was because Xu Fu could not keep up with the speed of refining pills, and because Qin Shihuang needed a large number of corpses or living people to refine vengeful spirits.
Therefore, after Qin occupied the enemy country, the three things that must be done were: one was to transport dead bodies, kill prisoners, and the third was to massacre the city. The purpose of this was to gather enough of the number of resentful spirits to expand Qin Shihuang's "Death Army".
"In this way, I unified the six kingdoms and became the first emperor in history." Qin Shihuang shook his head and sighed.
Hearing this, Fatty Wang shouted in confusion: "Aren't these all you want? Then why do you want to die after being the emperor for ten years? If it were me, I would have liked to sit on the dragon throne for hundreds of years!"
After he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. Because according to historical records, Qin Shihuang unified the country at the age of 39. At that time, he was still young and upright, so he shouldn't die so quickly. But what is surprising is that he only lived forty-nine years in his life, which means that he had only been the emperor for ten years and "dead".
"The writing of history can never follow the will of the winner." Seeing the doubts on our faces, Qin Shihuang chuckled, "If I remember correctly, I should have sat on the emperor's position for 237 years. Do you think this time is long enough?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted: "Impossible, how is this possible?"
My mind is now staggering and I can hardly think. It’s not that I don’t believe what he said, but that many historians have studied the history of our China for thousands of years. All the historical eras they have arranged have almost no flaws.
If what Qin Shihuang said was true, and he had really reigned for 237 years, then there is no reason why our descendants of historians would neglect such a long period of time.
"What do you think?" Hearing everyone's exclamations, Qin Shihuang didn't care, but turned his eyes to me.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down: "If what you said is true, then there is only one possibility."
When everyone heard me say this, they all turned their heads to look at me, their eyes full of doubts and expectations.
"What's the possibility?" Qin Shihuang smiled and nodded.
I took a step forward, stared in his eyes, and slowly said: "You have tampered with all the history of Qin and adjusted the whole time for three hundred years. And this matter has been recorded by later generations. If I remember correctly, the 'burning of books and burying scholars' that we are rumored now is not to unify the thoughts of the people in the country, but to tamper with history, so you have burned everything."
