Wei was the hegemon in the early Warring States period, and Zhao was the hegemon in the late Warring States period. Each country had its own highlight moment.
Wei Han, from beginning to end, never stood up.
The unique road to rise has made South Korea's start weak.
Han is a member of the state of Jin. He started early.
However, after the change of wings, Gong Jin, who won the position, was afraid that other clans would follow suit, and kept on guarding against and suppressing all clans for a long time.
Especially in the period of one of the "five tyrants", because Korea once supported Jin, it became the key target of suppression.
Later, with the support of Zhao, Han Biao entered the ranks of celebrities.
By the time Minister Han Dang arrived, the ministers of the State of Jin were very powerful and the struggle between them was fierce.
In order to survive, Han, who is weak in strength, has to follow two principles: 1, stick to the image of a "gentleman" and protect himself with virtue (it still works in the Spring and Autumn Period); 2. Adhere to the Korea-DPRK alliance to gain strength.
Therefore, in the process of partition, South Korea mainly relies on morality and correct reform to seek survival and development.
In contrast, Wei, a famous soldier, has been very powerful because; And Zhao is the "early bird" with the strongest limelight and the worst price in all previous carve-up campaigns.
Therefore, when dividing up the previous achievements, the weak and unassuming South Korea often gets the least.
After the Qi family and the Yangshe family were exterminated, Wei, who was in power, divided the territory of the two clans into ten counties, and Han only got one county.
After killing Fan and BOC, Han's income is far less than that of Zhi and Zhao.
The cake in the state of Jin is big enough, so after three points in the state of Jin, Han's strength is still stronger than that of ordinary small and medium-sized princes.
However, compared with Zhao and Wei, South Korea's share of resources is much less.
The harsh geographical environment makes the environment for South Korea's survival and development harsh.
After the three clans were divided into Jin, Wei got the essence of Jin. Although I am in the "land of four wars", after all, my strength is in hand.
Zhao got the northern territory of Jin. Although the strength is not very strong, there is still room for development.
Han will be miserable.
1, the agricultural foundation is congenitally insufficient.
Zhang Yi once described the agricultural situation in South Korea as follows: South Korea's land is sinister and mountainous, and only beans can be planted, not wheat. In a bad year, everyone will eat the dross.
Due to the shortage of grain reserves, even if South Korea puts all its efforts into the country, it can only support 300,000 soldiers at most, and only 200,000 soldiers can be used for combat except for some basic work.
2. The national defense environment is harsh.
Han, the throat of the world is also. -"Warring States Policy". Qin Ce ".
Hanyuan, the old capital of Korea, was the battlefield of Qin Jin's hegemony as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.
Xinzheng, the new capital of North Korea, was the main battlefield of Chu Jin's hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Therefore, Qin will pass through Kanto, and Chu will go north to enter the Central Plains. Han is the first goal.
At the same time, the territory of South Korea almost divided Wei into two.
Therefore, although Korea's strength is not strong, it is Wei's "worry."
As long as there is discord between Korea and Wei, Wei will be the first to go to Korea!
It is the sorrow of South Korea to become a "battlefield" of a world power.
3. The development space is limited.
Han Xi borders Wei and Qin; Chu in the south, Song and Wei in the east and Zheng in the southeast. Then ... there is still a week in this area.
The three Jin dynasties are United, and facing Chu and Qin, Han can also share some benefits with them.
After the division of Sanjin, Wei, Qin and Chu can't beat you, so burn high incense.
Although Zhou has no strength, he is the master of the world after all, and it is not convenient to provoke.
Therefore, South Korea's expansion space is only Zheng and Song.
In fact, both Zheng and Song were troublesome, and Qi later suffered the loss of destroying Song.
Han can destroy Zheng, this is the ultimate!
South Korea's expansion has reached its limit.
Even so, South Korea's territory and strength are still the last among the seven heroes: "The place is less than 900 miles, and there is no food for two years."
Poor internal governance, missed opportunities
The foundation is weak and the environment is bad. If the trader is not a top player, South Korea will have no chance.
However, Han's traders ... can't even reach the average level.
At the beginning of the Warring States period, the relationship between Shanxi and Shanxi was still very close, and the old forces such as Qin and Chu were still taking a nap.
If Korea can seize this opportunity, it can develop first.
However, South Korea was born at the wrong time.
As a new vassal, Zhao has long been "selecting talents and appointing people with virtue"; Wei Wenhou is recruiting talents and starting reforms.
In contrast, Han still uses people as "expensive relatives." All the important positions of Han are held by the public.
The lack of talents makes South Korea's governance level very low.
"Everything is done by everything done. Law-abiding "describes this kind of confusion: before the laws of Jin State were abolished, the new laws of Han came; The decree of the former king was not withdrawn, and the decree of the new king came again.
Such a low-level mistake is a typical manifestation of low management efficiency.
Under this level of governance, even if Korea has good laws and policies, how can it be implemented?
That's not all. After the expansion of hereditary public power, Han Junquan could not concentrate.
What's more, clans attacked each other and even assassinated the monarch, which made the political situation in South Korea unstable!
In this way, Han missed the best window
A failed reform
Han Zhaohou decided to host the political reform with Shen Buhai.
Shen Buhai's political reform achieved good results in a period of time.
The Han Dynasty cracked down on clans and strengthened the centralization of monarchy. North Korea has also been strengthened militarily, and once won the reputation of "Kim".
However, the political reforms in Shen Buhai and Han Zhaohou are mostly technical, and their lack of laws and "institutionalization" makes the foundation of the political reforms unstable and cannot withstand changes.
South Korea, both internally and externally, has the most unpredictable changes.
Under the attack of Wei, Han became the victim of Sun Bin's "weak Wei and weak Han" and suffered heavy losses.
After the accident, the reform ended hastily, and Han finally failed to make it strong.
You will be beaten "no matter what"
From then on, it is no longer a question of whether South Korea is willing to be strong, but that history will not give South Korea another powerful opportunity.
When the world trend is the Sanjin alliance or the battle between Qi and Wei, South Korea still has a short respite.
However, after the decline of Wei, Qin began the process of "being born".
Han and Qin Lian Heng became the first targets of UN attacks. Who told you to be closer to us? )
When Korea joined the alliance, it became the first target of Qin. Who told you to be closest to me? )
Anyway, they were all beaten. It's good that Han can try his best to protect himself. There is no time and space to be strong!
Finally, Han Yi was weak until he died!
South Korea has a weak foundation, harsh geographical environment and very little room for survival and development.
Perhaps because of this, Korean rulers do not prefer long-term investment, and are "deeply rooted" and tend to pursue short, flat and fast.
In all fairness, Korea played Shu well, so it was able to annex Zheng, who was eyeing up, and enter the ranks of great powers.
However, after entering the mid-Warring States period, the monarchs of world powers are not stupid. How can South Korea have so many "short-lived" opportunities?
Finally, Han was beaten and beaten, and there was no chance to breathe, and he was weak to the end.
