2-Jing Ke's preparation missed a link, that is, the assassination of his assistant. He is slow to act, just waiting for a friend, a good partner and an assassin. Unfortunately, for some reason, this friend didn't arrive as scheduled, and at this time, Yanzi Dan couldn't wait. Depressed, Jing Ke reluctantly chose a killer as body double. This killer is the famous Qin Wuyang. Qin Wuyang's reputation is very bright, and the teenager became famous. In fact, he is a "Ma Jiajue" with excellent martial arts, but poor psychological quality. He is more than enough to be a thug, but he is not fit to be a killer. This is the candidate recommended by Yan Zidan, and Jing Ke can only accept it. But this has laid a curse.
3- During the assassination, Qin Wuyang fell off the chain at a critical moment, turned pale with fear by the majesty of the king of Qin and the style of the palace, and almost peed his pants. He was drunk by the suspicious king of Qin, and only allowed Jing Ke to go to the temple for pictures. Qin Wuyang is useless at this time, and the task of assassination falls on Jing Ke.
4- According to Num's analysis, Jing Ke's martial arts is really poor. He didn't touch the king of Qin with a poisonous dagger. When the dagger seals its throat with blood, just cut the skin of King A Qin! Finally, the dagger was used as a flying knife, which was easily avoided by the king of Qin. The king of Qin drew his sword at the minister's prompt, immediately fought back and hacked Jing Ke's disorderly sword to death. The assassination failed.
5- The reason why the assassination failed seems to be that Jing Ke's martial arts is not high, so he didn't seize such a good opportunity. But it is undeniable that the planning and preparation of his whole assassination plan was very successful. In his plan, the assassin is not himself (he should know his own martial arts), but the friend who didn't show up. Qin Wuyang's hasty challenge was replaced by a failure that directly led to failure. At the moment when Qin Wuyang was scared to pee his pants, Jing Ke had to take over the task temporarily and was doomed to failure.
6- The ancients generally rated Jing Ke as a "tragic hero" and praised sympathy. He could have been a great man who reversed the direction of historical development, but unfortunately he failed. The attitude of the ancients is understandable, because no one thinks that Qin Shihuang is the greatest figure in history. Although he ended the turmoil in the Warring States period, it was conquered by blood and fire, and all races and people in the country were offended by him. Moreover, the Qin Dynasty he initiated was even more brutal. During the Warring States period, at least some monarchs were more enlightened, and people's lives were relatively comfortable, but by the Qin Dynasty, all people had become slaves under political oppression.
7- Under Marx's view of history, China's evaluation of Qin Shihuang has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has become a great figure in promoting historical development. Whoever opposes Qin Shihuang is against history and is a reactionary countercurrent. As a result, Jing Ke, as an "outstanding representative" against Qin Shihuang, was nailed to the shame column of history. His evaluation is: an ignorant, ignorant and idle declining aristocrat, serving the dying slave owner class, willing to be a pawn and a running dog. His assassination failure is the luck of the Chinese nation, because he saved Qin Shihuang; Even if his assassination succeeded by luck, it was doomed to be temporary. History will choose another Qin Shihuang to appear, and the trend of the times is unstoppable (maybe three or five decades).
8- My evaluation of Jing Ke: As Jing Ke, in his time, he would rather be famous than die and emphasize chivalry. These qualities are very popular and highly respected. Jing Ke's motive for assassinating the king of Qin was obviously insufficient. It was Yan Zidan who framed him, bribed him and forced Jing Ke to agree. Now that you have agreed, go all out, which is a necessary quality for a "scholar" or "guest". Therefore, judging from the specific environment in which Jing Ke himself lived, he was neither a noble hero for the country and the people, nor a conspirator reactionary who hindered the historical development. He is just an ordinary ruined scholar-bureaucrat, involved in a complicated event and at the center of various contradictions. It was history that chose Jing Ke, not Jing Ke who wanted to create or change history.
9- Evaluation of "Evaluation". Historical figures have long since passed away, but the living always hold Gu Yan in the present and criticize others. Therefore, the evaluation of historical figures actually represents his evaluation of today's society, and "evaluation" is just a weapon of speech. The positive evaluation of Jing Ke in ancient times was to carry forward the heroes of loyalty and righteousness, while the negative evaluation of Jing Ke in modern China textbooks was to verify and popularize Marx's view of history. Historical materials can't speak. In order to demonstrate their views, people often choose the part that is beneficial to them as evidence. Although this is not a forgery, it is also a disguised tampering. Evaluation can't change history, but it will change people's mentality and position in reading history, thus changing today.
10- Summary: Different people have different opinions. Let's get what we need! Let this legend be just a legend forever. We can enjoy it, but disdain to use it.
