Zhao in Qin Wugong said
Zhao said, the eldest son of Qin Xiangong (Qin Ninggong), the mother of Lu Jizhi, the son of Qin Chuzi and the elder brother of Qin Degong, was the monarch of the State of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and reigned in 697-678 BC.
Qin Wugong initially established a prince. After the death of Qin Xiangong, Fu Ji and other three concubines established Qin as the monarch of Qin State. After the Qin dynasty, he was killed by Fu Ji and others, and he was able to accede to the throne. The three clans, such as Zhu Fuji, set power in the royal family. When Qin Wugong was in power, he successively conquered and swallowed Mianzhu, Qirong, Jirong, Yi Qu Rong, Zhai and Gou, and set up a county system to manage the land obtained. In the following year, the forces of Qin reached the Weishui River Basin in Guanzhong. Qin Wugong was buried in Pingyang after his death, which pioneered the system of human sacrifice, with as many as 66 people buried with him. It is said that after the bizarre death of Qin Xiangong, the same mother and brother, Fu Ji, Wei Lei and San Fu, the three great concubines who were in power in the State of Qin, abolished the Prince of Qin Xiangong (Qin Wugong) and made the son of Ji Wang the monarch in order to further control the state affairs and the army.
Qin Xiangong has three sons: Qin Wugong, the eldest son, and Qin Degong, the second son, are the sons of Lu Ji (Princess of Lu), and Qin Chuzi is the son of Ji Wang (Princess of Eastern Zhou).
As Ji Wang was a princess of the Zhou Dynasty, she was even more heroic than Lu Ji, a princess of the State of Lu. Although the three eldest concubines made Ji Wang's son king, it didn't arouse much opposition in the State of Qin.
In 73 BC, Fu Ji, Wei Lei and San Fu, the elders of the Three Dynasties, formally appointed Lu Ji's son as the monarch to give birth to Qin. He was only five years old that year. (Lu Ji's two sons are only eight and seven years old.) Considering that the Zhou Dynasty was more authoritative than the Lu State, the three elders made Qin a monarch.
But to the surprise of the three elder concubines, Ji Wang, the mother of Qin's son, was ungrateful for their "help". For Ji Wang, her husband's life is more important than anything else. Facing these three killers, Ji Wang relied on her status as Princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Empress Dowager of the State of Qin, and took a seriously uncooperative attitude.
the state of Qin has always had a tradition of great power of the empress dowager. In the late Warring States period, the mother of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Empress Xuan, and the mother of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Ji, all had amazing power, which was the product of matriarchal society.
Ji Wang played against the three concubines, and the great development of Qin stopped, especially in foreign wars. The so-called three great concubines with great power, who can't tolerate two tigers in one mountain, finally killed Qin Chuzi, the monarch, and added another one to the list of regicide in the Spring and Autumn Period.
in 697 BC, Qin Chu-zi was killed as a monarch for six years, and the three eldest concubines changed the former prince to be the monarch for Qin Wugong. At this time, Qin Wugong was about fourteen years old. No one expected that this was a great monarch who could be on a par with Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Kangxi.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Qin Wugong, a young boy, obeyed the instructions of the three elder concubines and showed weakness in every way to avoid repeating the mistakes of his younger brother. The highest level of Qin's power is closely United, at least on the surface, and the thunder chariot of Qin will rumble again.
in the first year of Qin Wugong's accession to the throne, he and three grand concubines marched eastward and attacked Peng Yarong in the northeast of Guanzhong. Peng Yarong is also a branch of dog Rong, and their sphere of influence is in the middle and upper reaches of Luoshui.
When Peng Ya people thought that there was a regicide in Qin Guogang and the unrest would continue, Qin Jun invaded their territory. There was no suspense in the first battle of Peng Ya. The first battle was a decisive battle, and the State of Qin won Peng Ya in one fell swoop.
On the battlefield, Qin Jun's victorious division, everyone is armed and full of energy, and young Qin Wugong is wearing a golden helmet and silver armor and riding a burly horse.
According to the convention, Qin Jun should rest for a period of time and Qin should celebrate it all over the country. However, when Qin Wugong first appeared on the historical stage, he was out of control. He was by no means a well-behaved person. It was the monarch's character to constantly challenge those great undertakings.
Qin Wugong didn't play according to the usual practice this time, and continued to lead his troops south. He captured the small town along the way, killed a small group of Rong people and let Qin Jun rest until he reached the foot of Huashan Mountain.
Qin Wugong is so unusual that he achieved great success in his first year in office, which is really admirable. But others don't know, young Qin Wugong's heart, hidden a shocking secret, or a heart disease.
My father died strangely, and my younger brother was killed by three elders. Although Qin Wugong ascended the throne with the support of the three elders, he had a strong hatred for them.
In this attack on Peng Yarong, Qin Wugong imagined the Peng Yarong people as three elders, full of hatred, and he even rode into battle himself and fought bravely. When attacking Peng Yarong, Qin people were encouraged by Qin Wugong's bravery. Qin Wugong's influence in Qin army quickly formed, and Qin Wugong was widely supported by Qin Jun.
in the process of going south to Huashan, Qin Wugong was even more determined in his command, and tens of thousands of troops were like armbands. Qin Wugong's tactics were relished by the Qin people because of the extensive expansion of the battle of going south to Huashan Mountain.
From the tragedy of his father and younger brother, Qin Wugong realized that only by controlling the military power can he compete with the three elder concubines, otherwise he will surely repeat the mistakes of his predecessors. In this year's battle, Qin Wugong broke out with unparalleled courage and superb tactical accomplishment.
after a thunder offensive, the state of Qin basically controlled Guanzhong except Hexi, occupying all the areas in Guanzhong of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At this time, the external situation of Qin was also quite good.
Chu, although Chu Wuwang was the king in the past few years, is still struggling with the princesses in Hanyang, and has not destroyed the Shen state in Nanyang. In fact, Chu is mired in a protracted war.
Qi, Qi Xianggong ascended the throne. This is a very controversial monarch. Although he expanded some territories, he had incest with his sister and made enemies with Lu. The international situation of Qi was not good.
the state of Jin, which is still divided at this time, is still a vassal who poses no threat to the state of Qin.
So there was no strong enemy who could intervene in the military action of Qin in Guanzhong, and Qin was able to expand rapidly. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the great powers annexed the neighboring governors, they had to have their own strength and other powerful enemies not to intervene before they could complete the great cause of expansion.
Qin, Jin, Chu and Qi all caught up with the good times when they expanded, and there was no interference from other governors. When the pattern of the top four came into being, the territory expanded by the four big countries was quite limited.
in the warring States period, after the annexation of the state of song by the state of qi, other governors were strongly dissatisfied. two years later, the state of qi was completely defeated by a five-nation expedition.
It can be seen how rare it is to have an era without the intervention of foreign powers!
When Qin Wengong, Duke Xian of Qin and Qin Wugong unified Guanzhong, the eastern governors were basically unable to interfere, which was a happy moment for Qin.
in the first year of Qin Wugong's accession to the throne, the territory of Qin reached the level of a first-class power, and its area was second only to that of Chu.
Qin quietly controlled most of Guanzhong, and then Qin Wugong began to solve internal contradictions. The environment he faced was very similar to that of Qin Shihuang more than 4 years later.
There are three mountains on the head of the young Qin Shihuang: Lv Buwei, Lao Ai and Chang 'an Juncheng Gao. Before the first emperor was 22 years old, he could do nothing about them.
Qin Wugong, the ancestor of the first emperor, also had his own way in dealing with internal contradictions. Fourteen-year-old Qin Wugong had a certain position in the Qin army. What's more commendable is that Qin Wugong is open-minded, and he knows the truth that even the wisest man is foolish, and his cleverness is clumsy.
On weekdays, Qin Wugong listened to the words of Fu Ji, Wei Lei and San Fu, and the three elder women happily thought that "a high wind knows the strength of grass, and the board swings to know the sincerity of ministers". At that time, there was no such word as "born in sorrow and died in happiness".
The three elders who were completely unprepared for Qin Wugong finally paid a very painful price. In 695 BC, 16-year-old Qin Wugong, with the potential of thunder, captured the three eldest sisters.
It's remarkable to catch them all. Later Qin Shihuang eradicated three mountains, shoveling one every year. In the first year, Lv Buwei and Lao Ai were used to kill Cheng Gao, in the second year, Lv Buwei was used to kill Lao Ai, and in the third year, Lv Buwei was abolished.
By the time Qin Shihuang deposed Lv Buwei, it was five out of twenty, while Qin Wugong at that time was only sixteen years old. At this age, only Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty killed Ao Bai.
After Emperor Kangxi captured Ao Bai, he locked him up until he died of old age. At present, Qin Wugong is not as kind as Emperor Kangxi. Remembering his father's bizarre death and his brother's murder, Qin Wugong wanted to settle accounts with the three eldest concubines. He ordered that the three eldest concubines should be killed and the three clans should be punished!
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when the ceremony collapsed and the music was bad, not only the regicide incident was full, but also the monarch's revenge on his officials was fierce and thorough. The word genocide was common in the history books of the Spring and Autumn Period.
There are countless clans that were exterminated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and all of them vanished with that history. Among the exterminated clans, only the Zhao family of the State of Jin survived, relying only on the last orphan, Zhao Wu, and became one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
Sixteen-year-old Qin Wugong completed what the 25-year-old Qin Shihuang did, and the internal contradictions were completely settled.
Qin solved the problem of the powerful ministers, but the territory of Qin expanded too fast, and there were many thorny issues inside, the most troublesome of which was the problem of China, the four countries.
China, the four countries of Qin, is Jirong, Luan Rong, Xiao Guo and Xiao Zheng from west to east.
In those days, Qin Wengong transferred 7 men from Tianshui, Gansu, the birthplace of Qin State, and went eastward down the plateau to establish a brand-new Qin State. The 7 men were the core fighting force of the Qin people. Since then, in order to consolidate the territory of Guanzhong, Qin Wengong has dispatched the Qin people to move eastward down the mountain several times.
The population of Qin left on the plateau is becoming less and less, and the Zurong and Jirong tribes took the opportunity to occupy the territory of Qin people. When the Qin people in Guanzhong fought bravely and shed their blood, the Qin people who stayed in the mountains actually lived a hard life.
During Qin Wengong's period, the Qin people in the mountains fattened up herds of cattle, sheep and horses, and then drove them down in droves to support the construction of the new Qin State. During the reign of Emperor Xian of Qin, the old Qin people on the mountain organized young men to go down the mountain many times to make up for the loss caused by Qin Jun's battle with Dangshe Rong.
It can be said that the Qin people at the foot of the mountain achieved great results, and the old Qin people who silently contributed on the mountain contributed a lot.
Now Jirong and Yongrong have invaded the pasture of the old Qin people in the mountains and robbed their cattle and sheep. The old Qin people who stayed on the plateau should not only be workhorses who did not ask for anything in return, but also always guard against the attacks of the wolves.
On the loess hillside near Qinyi, an elderly woman who is over 8 years old, and several people with the same hair and white beard, are watching the movement under the hillside warily.
I saw a group of people herding a large number of cattle and sheep on the Woye not far away, but the people herding were not Qin people, but Jirong people.
In fact, there is no clear territorial division among the Rong people in the plateau. Whoever is strong will occupy a good place suitable for grazing, and other small tribes have to migrate.
However, in the face of the powerful Dijon, the old Qin people can never move away, because since the Zhou Emperor sealed Qin Yi to Qin Feizi, it has become a sacred place in the hearts of the old Qin people. It is better to kill them if they move away.
The persistent old Qin people didn't move away because of foreign invasion. They stubbornly survived in the cracks of Rong people, and they always had a belief in their hearts. They firmly believed that the Qin people at the foot of the mountain would come back one day!
The elder sister-in-law leads her people to monitor the movement of Rong people every day. When Rong people come, they quickly hide the cattle and sheep, and when Rong people leave, they graze at random. I would rather survive in the cracks, and the old Qin people watched hard and never gave up this land left by their ancestors.
just then, the dust covered the sky in the eastern sky, and it seemed that a large number of people were coming.
The Rong people on the hillside also noticed this scene, but they didn't retreat, because there were thousands of soldiers in the vicinity of Qinyi, and it was probably the main force of Rong people coming.
Old Shu Chang and his brothers have slightly different ideas. Although Rong people are likely to appear, the old Qin people never gave up the hope that the Qin army would go up the mountain, which is also an important reason to support them to stay in Qinyi.
The army was getting closer and closer, and it was dark. The elder sister exclaimed, "Come back, come back."
Yes, the traditional color of Qin State is black, which is not gorgeous or grandiose, which also reflects the pragmatic character of the old Qin people.
The army of Qin quickly surrounded the Rong people and their cattle and sheep on the hillside, only to see Qin Jun's banners covering the sun, swords and halberds like a forest, and soldiers wearing helmets and armour, each holding his own weapon and raising his crossbow.
The old matron was already in tears. With the help of several old brothers, he greeted the left-behind old Qin people in Qinyi to meet the Qin army who counterattacked their ancestral land at the foot of the mountain.
twenty-three-year-old Qin Wugong, surrounded by a group of Qin Jun troops, came steadily, and the weather was really mighty and wise.
All the people in the old Qin Dynasty were filled with tears and wept with joy. The repression in their hearts for many years turned into passion and gushed like spring water.
Soon the old Qin people were surrounded by more new Qin people and embraced each other affectionately. Indeed, the Qin people in Guanzhong should thank these old Qin people who stayed on the plateau. Without their silent efforts, there would be no Qin State today.
in 688 BC, Qin Wugong personally led the troops to counterattack Qin Yi, destroying the tribes of Guirong and Jirong.
In the same year, under the rule of King Wen of Chu, the southern State of Chu defeated Shen and Deng, shaking the Central Plains. Chu, a giant, finally broke through the blockade of Hanyang Zhuji. I don't know when there will be a big war between Qin Chu.
After Qin eliminated the Rong people in his hometown, there are still two problems to be solved in China, one is Xiao Guo and the other is Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Guo, also known as Xi Guo, is the imperial clan left after Guo Guo moved eastward in those years. This Xiao Guo occupies the best piece of land in the west of Guanzhong, which is definitely a pain in the heart of Qin.
However, Xiao Guo's strength is very weak, and he has never really threatened the State of Qin, which can completely destroy Xiao Guo since Qin Wengong's time. The main reason why Qin has never destroyed Xiao Guo is that Guo Guo is the Duke of Zhou Dynasty. Legally speaking, Qin Guo can't destroy Xiao Guo, not to mention Qin Guo has to win over the adherents of Zhou Dynasty in Guanzhong, so Xiao Guo must be kept.
By this time in Qin Wugong, Guanzhong was already the state of Qin, so the existence of Xiao Guo was of little significance. In 687 BC, Qin Wugong drove out the small Guo, ending the small clan of the Duke State in Guanzhong.
Another Chinese country, Xiao Zheng, is located in the west of Huashan Mountain, and is also a small clan left by Zheng Wugong when he moved eastward. After Qin Wugong captured the whole Guanzhong, Xiao Zheng also became the China of Qin State. Now that Xiao Guo has been destroyed, Zheng has no reason to exist, and Qin Wugong will destroy it.
Neatly, Qin Wugong solved the problem of China, the state owned by Qin. The young monarch of Qin was only 24 years old.
after Xiao Guo was destroyed, Qin Wugong planned to build a new capital in Xiao Guo's hometown. The capital of Guo was between the Weihe River and the Weishui River at that time. It was surrounded by water on three sides and had an excellent defensive position. Moreover, Feizi, the ancestor of the Qin people, once herded horses here, and the Qin people had great feelings for this fertile land.
Qin Wugong has always been resolute, and soon Qin began to build a large-scale capital between the Weihe River and the Weishui River.
