If Qin Shi Huang had not died, would Liu Bang and Xiang Yu’s uprising have succeeded?

If Qin Shihuang had not died, the uprising of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu would certainly not have succeeded. Qin Shihuang is undoubtedly the most influential great figure in Chinese history. He completed the great cause of unifying the world before he was 39 years old. However, just three or four years after Qin Shihuang's death, the great cause he had finally established quickly collapsed. I personally feel that if Qin Shihuang could continue to live at that time, the Qin Dynasty would definitely not collapse so quickly. However, can Xiang Yu and Liu Bang succeed in their uprising?

Personally I don’t think so. There are many reasons for this. The key is that Qin Shihuang had the most powerful military force in the country at that time. We can see it just by looking at the battle between the Qin army and the Xiongnu. The recognition of the Qin army's military merits at that time was mainly determined by the enemy's head. Qin Shihuang sent Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to fight against the Xiongnu. On the battlefield, as long as the Qin army knocks down its opponent, the first thing to do is to chop off the opponent's head. In this cruel battlefield, rivers of blood flowed, and headless corpses were everywhere. You can imagine what a deterrent image this is. The Qin army chased the Huns to their stronghold and killed all the men, women and children, leaving no one behind.

Therefore, after the Xiongnu were defeated by the Qin army, they did not dare to graze in the southern part of the Mongolian grassland for more than ten years due to fear. If Qin Shihuang does not die, these Xiongnu forces will be firmly in his hands. But on the other hand, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were both armies assembled by some militiamen, so there was simply no comparison. After the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao changed the edict and allowed Qin II to inherit the throne. After that, the politics of the Qin Dynasty began to be in the greatest crisis.

First, Meng Tian was killed. The morale of the army was unstable and its strength was immediately weakened. The aristocratic forces of the six countries in Shandong have made a comeback again, and they are eyeing it. At the same time, the Qin Dynasty lost all political support, its strategy was loose and disorderly, and its internal affairs were in chaos. Therefore, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu succeeded in their uprising at that time, but the final winner was Liu Bang.
