A Study On The Evolution Of The Malitary System Of Qin

The Qin people developed and strengthened in the war and unified China by force.The rule of Qin has a distinct military color and has a profound impact on later generations.Exploring the process of the military system of the The state of Qin from the enfeoffment system of Zhou dynasty to the vast imperial military system is helpful to deeply understand the formation of the great unified empire of China.The history of living in the northwest and fighting with north Di clan and western Rong clan for a long time honed the Qin people.The elements of advocating force spirit in the etiquette and music civilization of the Yin and Zhou Dynasties provided the "legal basis" for the Qin people to maintain the fashion of advocating force spirit.Judging from the inscriptions on the bronze weapons of "Qin Zi",it can be seen that at the beginning of the founding of the state of Qin,the blood related clan was the main armed force,and the formation of troops were ended at the division level.This is wrong with the traditional view that Mugong of Qin set up the "three generals of the armed forces".In the spring and autumn period,the political power of the state of Qin was concentrated in the hands of the clans and nobles,but the system construction lagged behind the East for a long time,which had a negative impact on the further development of the army.Shang Yang's political reform reshaped the military system of the The state of Qin.It can be seen that the local army strength of Qin has been greatly improved by examining and distinguishing the text of "the book of Lord Shang: The chapter of Within the Borders" and analyzing the meaning of various military official positions.Influenced by the ideological trend of "selecting scholars" by militarist in Warring States Period,the state of Qin began to select regular soldiers.In fact,the new military system of The state of qin,which seems to be leaping forward,is closely related to the "Zhou system" and the "Three Jin system".With the expansion of Qin,the army of Qin has further developed in the aspects of personnel gathering,source of soldiers and construction of arms.From the system of conveying orders by signs,the local army of the Qin dynasty is still dominated by county soldiers.During the reign of king hui wen,the The state of qin began to set up Dao in the ethnic areas,and then gradually to a larger and larger scale to recruit the state forces.The chariot troops,infantry troops and boat troops of the The state of qin were all developed under the promotion of the war.There were a lot of cavalry troops,but the fighting capacity was limited.Although the Qin empire established a huge and complete military system,it ended in two generations.Qin had limited military power to conquer Lingnan,but it also created a burden that the people could not bear.The imperial despotism and the defects of the theory of governing the country were the important reasons for the rapid demise of the Qin dynasty.
