Jinguo hegemony
Marquis Wenhou of Jin was a landmark monarch of the State of Jin, and during his reign, he supported the eastward migration of King Ping of Zhou, and then killed King Zhou Ping's nemesis, King Zhou, making the State of Jin a powerful pillar of the Zhou royal family. At the same time, Marquis Wenhou of Jin united with the State of Qi in the east to attack the Di people in the north, bringing the State of Jin to a new height.
However, after the death of Marquis Wen of Jin, his country fell into a decades-long division.
Marquis Wen of Jin
The descendants of Marquis Wen of Jin succeeded to the throne of the Jin state as a branch of Emperor Dazong of the State of Jin; his younger brother Qu Wohuan established another regime for Emperor Xiaozong of the State of Jin. Because of the huge power of Xiaozong, he became covetous, so he openly confronted and confronted Dazong. With the further development of the struggle, the large sects that originally had the advantage and the orthodox position became weaker and weaker, and the doctors began to turn against the small sects one after another, and gradually formed a one-sided situation. Jin Guo was about to fall into Xiao Zong's hands.
At this time, King Huan of Zhou, the Son of Zhou, in order to gain benefits from the Jin state and achieve the purpose of controlling the Jin state, began to support the inferior Emperor Dazong.

King Huan of Zhou successively sent Duke Yu to attack Xiaozong of the Jin state to support Emperor Dazong of the Jin state, and successively created the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Jin. However, due to the great power of Xiaozong in the Jin Dynasty, King Huan of Zhou could not eat it, and the distance between the Zhou royal family and Xiaozong was much farther than the distance between Emperor Xiaozong and Xiaozong, and every time there was a war, when King Huan of Zhou received the news and sent troops to arrive, the battle was almost over. Therefore, it was not easy for King Huan of Zhou to keep the Jin Dynasty Emperors, and it was mainly up to the Jin Emperors themselves.
However, the Great Sects of the Jin Dynasty were not at all angry and were always defeated by Xiao Zong, which caused King Huan of Zhou a headache. Shortly after Hou Was created, he was accidentally tricked and killed by Emperor Xiaozong's Qu WowuGong. King Huan of Zhou then installed Ji Jiao, the uncle of Marquis Xiaohou of Jin and younger brother of Marquis Aihou of Jin, as the Prince of Jin, the sixth and final emperor of the Jin Dynasty. After the Marquis of Jin, the Jin state ended the civil war and became a unified princely state.
Marquis of Jin
How did the Jin Dynasty fail?
It turned out that soon after Marquis Miao of Jin ascended the throne, his biggest supporter, King Huan of Zhou, had an accident. King Huan of Zhou fell out with his supporter Gong Yu, who fled to the state of Yu, and King Huan of Zhou lost one of his right and left arms and was unable to support the Jin state. Duke Wu of Qu took advantage of this opportunity to send an army to capture the capital of the Jin state, Yicheng, and the Marquis of Jin fled.
The following year, King Huan of Zhou called on the princes of the world to fight against The Duke of Quwowu, and the Marquis of Jin was able to restore the kingdom. However, within a few years, King Huan of Zhou died, his son King Zhuang of Zhou ascended the throne, another son of King Huan of Zhou, Prince Ke, launched a rebellion, and the Zhou royal family was in chaos, and in addition to the central plains states at that time: Qi, Lu, Wei, Song and other countries also made a pot of porridge, and King Zhou Zhuang had no time to take care of the affairs of the Jin state.

Under such circumstances, Duke Wu of Quwo began a final general attack on Marquis Of Jin. Finally, more than 20 years later, he killed the Marquis of Jin and occupied all the land of the Jin State. Duke Wu of Quwo also bribed the later King of Zhou Tianzi with heavy gold, asking king Zhou to recognize his legitimate status.
