Qin territory
Qin people began to live in Longdong, west of Longshan, living in a wrong place with Rong people and far away from the Central Plains. After the Zhou royal family moved eastward, Qin talents gradually moved eastward. After several generations of efforts, they finally conquered Guanzhong when they arrived in Qin Mugong. From then on, until Qin Huiwen took Bashu (now Sichuan), the territory of Qin has been basically stable in today's Guanzhong area of Shaanxi for nearly 300 years.
This area was located at the westernmost end of the Huaxia civilization area at that time. Sima Qian said that the state of Qin lived in seclusion in Yongzhou, while Du You said in the Tang Dynasty that "Guanzhong faces inward and west".
The state of Qin developed in the west and north directions, and there was a broad space for territorial expansion. In the era of agricultural economy, the level of productivity is relatively low, and the larger the land occupied by a regime, the more people there are in the ruling area.
Qinnan is fertile ground for Bashu. Compared with the six eastern countries, Qin has two outstanding geographical advantages: first, it is located in the plateau, controls the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and tends to dominate the whole East. Second, the surrounding mountains are surrounded by water, making it difficult for foreign enemies to invade and invincible before the war.
division into districts
In the long-term campaign, Qin also established counties in the conquered areas. Shang Yang established 3 1 county in Qin State. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries, the county system was implemented throughout the country, and the country was divided into 36 counties (later increased to 49 counties). Qin adopted the county system and became a powerful country in one fell swoop, from a small country in western Shu to annexing the world; The Qin dynasty adopted the county system to maintain the unified situation, which set a precedent for the local administrative system of the feudal dynasty for more than two thousand years. ?
After deeply reflecting on the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, Qin decided to adopt the county system. As a feudal country in the Zhou Dynasty, Qin faced a greater crisis than other vassal states.
As early as when Qin was the Emperor of Zhou, he was on the front line against Xirong. The demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty made Qin deeply realize the unreliability of princes. In the long battle with dogs, Qin realized the importance of a standing army. Qin, located in the border of western Xinjiang, lived with Rong Di for a long time, and was less influenced by the feudal etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty, which naturally caused strangeness and doubts about the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty.
Qin Jun in all previous dynasties deeply reflected on the enfeoffment system, and then realized its disadvantages, so he held a skeptical and negative attitude towards it.
As the newest vassal of the enfeoffment system and the vassal of Xixie in Zhou Dynasty, Qin faced a different situation from the vassal of Kanto. First of all, Qin should implement the county system to deal with powerful external threats.
For a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin has been at war with nomadic people such as Gou Rong. Secondly, Qin should implement the county system to solve the frequent political crisis of "unruly people and ministers" in Qin. After the death of Qin Ninggong, Qin Chenquan, Dafei and Sanzu abolished the monarch, assassinated the monarch and set up another monarch, which plunged Qin into turmoil.
In this case, Qin must find a way out from the county system. Third, Qin should implement the county system to safeguard the interests of the emerging landlord class.
