According to the general impression, zheng huangong, the first prince of the Zheng kingdom, died in the difficulty of inuyasha to destroy the Western Zhou, which made Zheng Guo particularly sad, and the cold-blooded expansion of Zheng Wugong and Zheng Zhuanggong also received a certain degree of understanding, but according to the newly released materials, Zheng Huangong was not killed by inuyasha, but came to the east and dominated the initial expansion of Zheng Guo.
I remember watching the comic strip "The Story of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms" when I was a child, and in the first volume, the most impressive picture was that Zheng Boyou (Zheng Huangong) fought and died, but still failed to protect the appearance of King Zhou You.
Fortunately, Zheng Guo's crown prince Di Tu (Zheng Wugong) was able to fight with all his might, avenge his father, and recover Hojing.
However, after reading more materials, namely "Chinese" and the newly appeared "Qinghua Jane", I felt that Zheng Huangong was not a martyr who protected the Zhou Room, but was very selfish.
Zheng Boyou (Zheng Huangong) was killed by an arrow
From the comic strip "The Story of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms"
The first volume of "The Princes of Beacon Theatre"
Speaking of Zheng Huangong's question, the first thing to mention is his identity in the Zhou Room.
"Zheng Shijia" says that he was the younger son of King Li of Zhou, a famous friend, and probably the child born after King Li of Zhou fled to Yandi. He was enfeoffed in the 22nd year of King Xuan of Zhou (806 BC) at Zheng (present-day Huazhou District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province).
The purpose of this division of the seal was probably to settle down the princes of The Western Lands, who had become more and more disobedient since the time of King Li, and although Xiaoyou's status was only that of a vassal of Kiuchi, not of Kiwai, he was still diligent in his orders and fought for the disobedient princes for the royal family.
For example, in the second year of King You of Zhou (780 BC), he joined forces with Marquis Wen of Jin to go on a crusade against the disobedient State of Qi, occupying the "Hill of Father Zheng" that would later become Zheng Guo's base in the East.
According to the "Han Feizi", Zheng Huan was able to win the victory by making a pact with the xianchen of the state of Wu before the war, and then obtained the internal response and conquered the state of Hao in one fell swoop.
Later, in the eighth year of King You of Zhou (774 BC), he was appointed by the royal family as a Situ and in charge of the national land household registration. He saw that at this time, many western princes were also "running softly" to the east, so he was worried and went to inquire about the Taishi Bo of the Zhou royal family.
Tai Shi Bo analyzed the general trend of the world for Zheng Huangong, mentioning that "the royal family will be humble, Rong Di Bichang", your excellency should have moved early. The princes near Chengzhou, "Uncle Yu is arrogant, And Xi Zhong is dangerous", these two families can plot a little.
Zheng Huangong said that he wanted to move the feudal state to the west or the south, but Tai Shibo said that the people of the West were greedy and could not establish a country there for a long time. And the Chu state will rise in the south, and moving to the south will put the country in an unfavorable situation.
In the end, Duke Huan followed Taishi's advice and paid bribes to the monarchs of the two kingdoms of Yu (東虢) and the two kingdoms of Qi, and resettled his family in the area east of Luoyang, south of the Yellow River and Jishui, which was the basic disk of the Zheng state in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Later, the Chinese mentions, "Nine years and the royal family began to riot, eleven years and died." Taishi believed that it was Zheng Huangong who "killed", so he also arranged for Zheng Huangong to protect the unfortunate death of King Zhou You. However, "Tsinghua Jane" gives a different answer.
"Qinghua Jian Liangchen" has a saying, "Zheng Huangong and Zhou Zhi's widows Shi Bo, Eunuch Zhong, Uncle Yu, and Du Bo later left the state." "This chapter is about the noble lords of each country.
All of Zheng Huan's courtiers were "Zhou Zhi's widows", and it seems that he did not die under Lishan Mountain with King Youwang of Zhou, but escaped and took in some of King Youwang's remnants.
In view of the fact that Lishan Mountain was not too far from the place where Zheng Guo was first sealed, his next step should be to let the old Zheng Min under Mount Hua separately into two ways, part of which went south, across Mount Hua and Qinling, to the "South Zheng" near the home of Prince You, and part of him fled east to Xinzheng.
This was a two-pronged strategy, and in the future, no matter which side of the Yu Party and the Shenhou-Pingwang faction led by Yu Chen won, Zheng Guo had room to survive.
The "Uncle Yu" he took in was probably not the monarch of Dong Yu, but someone in the Dong Yu gong clan. The "Du Bo" was probably the ruler of the Tang Du clan, and the Tang Du clan should have been divided into three at this time, some of which defected to the Jin state as early as king Xuan of Zhou after killing Du Bo, and later evolved into the Shi clan-Fan clan, some of which followed zheng huan gong, and some of whom stayed in place, probably surrendering to Rong Di, and finally being destroyed by the qin state (qin ning gong three years, 713 BC).
Moreover, Duke Huan of Zheng also took advantage of the fact that the two kings of the Zhou Dynasty were standing side by side, and annexed the lands of the vassals in the area of Dong yu and Xi.
As stated in the Sixteenth Year of Zuo Chuan Zhaogong: "In the past, I was the duke of Huan, the first king, and the merchants were from Zhou, and they were coupled with each other, and they killed this place with Ai, and cut off the basil quinoa, and coexisted with it." The Qinghua Jian Zheng Wengong Asks Taibo also records, "Former Emperor Huan of the Former Emperor Huan came from Zhou, and used the seven carriages and the disciples to cover their hearts and fight their humerus, in order to cooperate with the philistines." ”
Probably, after the complete completion of the moving project in the sixth year of King Zhou Ping (765 BC), Zheng Huangong went to see the Great God of Si Ming.
After his son Di Tu succeeded to the throne, he first married his daughter to Hu Gong (胡公), the prince of the State of Hu (presumably the fief state of Ran Jizai, the younger son of King Wen of Zhou), and then took advantage of Hu Gong's lack of preparation to kill the State of Hu, and the remnants of the State of Hu fled south to the upper reaches of the Huai River, where they persisted until the early Warring States period before perishing.
Two years later, Duke Wu married another daughter of Marquis Shen, Wu Jiang, and from then on joined the Pingwang faction, but there were probably also relatives of the Wang faction and strong power, so Zheng Wugong had to flee to Weiguo (cf. the "Qinghua Jian Zhengwu Lady ZhiZi") for three years.
Three years later, he and Wu Jiang had two babies, Huan Sheng and Shu Duan. After that, it was Zheng Guo's brother disrespecting his brother and disrespecting his brother.
After the two kings of the Zhou Dynasty were established, Zheng Guo had the opportunity to expand secretly, and a major reason was that the princes of The Western Tuqi Were basically running to the east and their foundations were not deep, but Zheng Guo was able to establish a solid base.
Zheng Zhuanggong's father and grandfather laid the foundation
The initial work of establishing a base area is what Zheng Huangong did, and his first priority is the power and status of his clan, as for the royal family, although it is also necessary to consider it, it is not as important as the former.
All in all, he was already a prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty during the time of the Youwang.
