There are not many records about how Wang Ben died. The year of Wang Ben's birth and death is not recorded, but the death of Montaigne at the same time still has some explanations. Wang Ben and his father Wang Jian made great contributions to Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries at a young age, but they disappeared into the historical materials early. Although there is no record of Wang Ben's death in historical materials, people have done a lot of analysis on Wang Ben's death. Let's analyze how Wang Ben died.
Wang Ben is the hero of Qin's unification of the six countries, and can be said to be the founding hero of Qin. In his war, he made outstanding achievements. In 226 BC, Wang Ben led the attack on Chu and defeated the Chu army, taking more than ten cities of Chu as Qin. In 225 BC, Wang Ben led an army to drown the girders and annihilated Wei for Qin. In 222 BC, he helped Qin capture Yan and wiped out the remnants of Zhao. In 22 1 year BC, after the state of Qin destroyed the state of Qi, the state of Qin officially unified the six countries, and Wang Ben was also named Tongwuhou because of his outstanding military exploits. The story of such a famous soldier is not recorded in history, and the cause of death of Wang Ben is unknown. Since then, it has been analyzed that Wang Ben's death is most likely a normal death or illness. As can be seen from Wang Ben's record, he has almost traveled to six countries, leading the battle all the year round, and his body may get sick during the rush, which is the most likely. Another possibility is that after Qin unified the six countries, Wang Ben lived in seclusion and people lost his whereabouts. This possibility is not small. If so, Wang Ben probably died of natural causes, not natural causes.
Wang Ben tomb
In the history of Wang Ben, he was not only an outstanding general in the Qin Dynasty, but also a family of generals. His father is a famous Warring States star Wang Jian.
In 226 BC, he led Qin Jun to defeat the Chu army and captured more than a dozen cities of Chu. In 225 BC, Wei was defeated and destroyed. From 222 BC to 22 BC1year, Zhao and Qi were successively captured. Since then, the State of Qin has been able to unify the six countries, and Wang Ben was named Tongwuhou because of his outstanding achievements during this period. After that, Wang Ben chose to return to his hometown and no longer participate in state affairs.
Although his whereabouts are unknown since then, his grave is now mainly a cultural relics protection unit in Shaanxi Province. Wang Ben's Tomb is now located in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, covering an area of 0.75 mu. Its mound is about 29.5 meters long from north to south, 17 meters long from east to west and 6 meters high. Saddle-shaped, south of the mound stands a monument to cultural relics protection. In 2003, it was announced by Shaanxi Province as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit, and in 2006, a provincial-level protection symbol monument was established.
From June, 2065438 to June, 2005, a group of Wang's closest relatives arrived in An and were warmly received by the local Wang clan in Shaanxi. In the following days, Wang's closest relatives, accompanied by the chairman, arrived in Wang Ben's hometown to meet his direct descendants and pay homage to Wang Ben's tomb and Tomb of Wangjian. They first paid a visit to Wang Jianling, located in the center of Qinchuan, and then visited Wang Benling, located in the northwest of Wang Qian Village. Wang Benling faces south, and the main tomb is located in the center of the "fertile land and thousands of hectares" given by Qin Shihuang. After the worship ceremony, the sincere relatives group also put forward many valuable suggestions on protecting the tombs of Wang Jian and his son.
How to read Wang Ben?
Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals in the Warring States Period, was born in Pingyang, Shaanxi Province, and was the right-hand man of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, who made indelible contributions to the establishment of the Daqin Empire. So how did Wang Ben read it? What are his strengths?
Cai Dongfan, a novelist in the late Qing Dynasty, made an in-depth and detailed investigation on "How to pronounce Wang Ben", and finally determined that the pronunciation of Wang Ben was "Wang Ben". The word "Ben" in Wang Benzhong, originally meant to be brave and good at fighting, is often used to describe the bravery and tenacity of soldiers. For example, the most powerful army in the Han Dynasty was called the "Tiger Ben Army".
Mr. Wang's results have been confirmed in Taiyuan Wang's genealogy. Wang Ben and his father Wang Jian are usually regarded as ancestors, so the recently unearthed genealogy of Wang in Taiyuan records the historical facts of Wang in detail, including how Wang Ben read them. In addition, he and his father destroyed five of the six eastern countries in the process of Qin people unifying the world, which was a great achievement. In particular, the World War I, which destroyed the "flooded beam" of Wei State, was the highest representative of its military talent, which was not inferior to his father Wang Jian's military achievements in defeating Zhao and destroying Yan. Ying Zheng trusts Wang and his son very much. Every time he travels around the world, he lets Wang and his son set out together.
It's just that Wang Ben became a big failure in adopting his son. Although his son Wang Li inherited the title, he failed to inherit the military talents of his father and mother. Wang Li was defeated in the Battle of Julu after Wang Ben's death, and became a captive of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty. His defeat led to the complete rout of the main force of Daqin, and the loss of the Central Plains base area, which laid a hidden danger for the collapse of Daqin Empire later. I don't know how Wang Ben and Wang Jian feel after learning.
