In 310 BC, King Wu of Qin ascended the throne. At this time, the situation in the Qin state was very good, and several major powers of Han, Wei, Qi, Chu, and Zhao were all subordinate to Qin. Although King Wu of Qin was belligerent, he was not clumsy in his scheming, and after he took the throne, he first devoted himself to consolidating the rear and rectifying internal affairs. In the first year of the reign of King Wu of Qin, he personally received emissaries from the State of Yue and reached a secret treaty with the State of Yue to attack the State of Chu in order to subdue Chu. After the destruction of Wu, the State of Yue became a great power in the southeast, with strong national strength, and at this time it was the second largest country after the State of Chu. Chu and Yue are connected by water and soil, the humanities are similar, they think that they are harmful to each other, and they have always been plotting to eliminate each other. In the same year, he met with the King of Wei in Linjin to consolidate the Qin-Wei alliance. In the first year of the reign of King Wu of Qin, Chen Zhuang of Shu rebelled and killed Marquis Tongguo of Shu. King Wu of Qin sent Gan Mao to quell the rebellion of the Shu state, killed Chen Zhuang, and sent troops to attack the Yiqu, Dan, Li and other ethnic minorities to ensure stability in the rear of the Qin state.
During the reign of King Huiwen, Zhang Yi was the prime minister. Zhang Yi lobbied everywhere, advocating lianheng and destroying the combination. King Huiwen admired Zhang Yi's lobbying and made him Wu Xinjun. However, King Wu was a master who valued strength and did not like wisdom and deception, and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's approach. Many ministers of the Qin state also hated Zhang Yi very much, and made a statement to the King of Wu: Zhang Yi does not pay attention to credit, betrays the country in order to seek glory, and Qin uses such a person to be laughed at by the world. At this time, all countries heard that King Wu did not trust Zhang Yi, and they were unwilling to connect with the State of Qin again, and the State of Qi even wanted to capture Zhang Yi and put him to death. Seeing this, Zhang Yi took the initiative to ask King Wu to go to Qin to Wei, so King Wu sent Zhang Yi to the State of Wei. Zhang Yi died in Wei a year after serving as chancellor of the State of Wei.
King Wu of Qin was a very ambitious man, he was ashamed to be with the Six Kingdoms, and seeing that the Six Kingdoms all had the position of Xiangguo, he changed the position of Xiangguo of the Qin State to Xiangguo. In the second year of King Wu of Qin (309 BC), King Wu of Qin set up the position of chancellor in the state of Qin, with one person on each side of the chancellor, and appointed Gan Mao as the chancellor and general of the collar, and Li Liyi as the right chancellor. He ordered Ganmao and others to repair the law of the fields, modify the feudal territory, dredge the river channel, and build embankments and bridges.
As the State of Qin grew stronger, king Wu's ambitions also swelled, and he not only wanted to be an ally of the princely states, but also longed for the throne of Zhou Tianzi, although this "Tianzi" was already a puppet in name only. King Wu once said: If I let my car ride to Sanchuan, "peep into the Zhou Room, and die without hatred." To peek into the Zhou Chamber, you must pass through the land of the Central Plains, the land of Korea, because between the Yellow River and Yishui and Luoshui, Han has Sanchuan County, and Zhou Wangqi is also in the county. Therefore, in 308 BC, King Wu sent Zuo Cheng Xiang Gan Mao to lead an army to attack Yiyang (Yiyang County, Henan). Yiyang is an important town in the Central Plains, before Gan Mao sent troops, he asked King Wu to guarantee that he would believe him, and King Wu and Gan Mao made a vow: never listen to other people's rumors, and Gan Mao sent troops to Yiyang. The Qin army was in Yiyang for five months and could not attack it. Li Li and the others did say bad things about GanMao in front of King Wu, and King Wu wanted to strike the army, and Gan Mao reminded King Wu of the assurances in advance, and King Wu made up his mind to increase his troops and make Gan Mao attack on a large scale. As a result, he captured Yiyang the following year, beheaded 60,000 people, and at the same time captured Wusui on the other side of the river and built a city.
After capturing Yiyang, King Wu sent Li Li to visit Zhou Tianzi with a hundred chariots. Zhou Tianzi saw that the Qin Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger, and he did not dare not bend to meet him. The qin forces penetrated deep into the Central Plains and flaunted their might in front of the Zhou royal family, making King Wu very proud.
Qin rose to the west, and there were many troubles, so the people's customs were simple and strong, still courageous, and courageous first. Reading the poems of "Xiao Rong", "Donkey Iron", and "No Clothes", its style and customs have come from. The Shang Emperor's change of capital was to strengthen the army and peasants, and establish the foundation of the unification of Qin. The King of Mourning Wu is powerful, and by example, the wind of Shang Wu is prosperous. What is good at the top will be worse at the bottom. When Duke Huan of Qin was a powerful man, Du Hui, the king of Mourning Wu was powerful and good, and Li Shi Ren, Wu Yue, and Meng Ben were all high officials.
Any way to the point. King Wen Wu was so powerful that he knocked on his own. Hooray is good with him. In the thirteenth year of King Zhao's reign, He was regarded as a Hanzhong Shou (汉中守). It is on a par with the name of TheOryi, one with wisdom and one with strength. The Qin people said: "Strength is contemptible, wisdom is in the woods." ”
Wu Yu, the Guli people, and Qin Wu Yu mu named. Can lift a thousand weights. Taste from king Wu to Luoyang, lift Zhou Ding, two eyes out of blood. Eighty years old and asking for support.
Meng Ben, Wei Ren. Can pluck the horns of the bull raw. Water does not avoid dragons, and land does not avoid tigers. Angry and exhaled, the sound of soup moved the sky. He crossed the river and was ahead of him. The boatman was furious and twisted his head. In the middle of the river, the eyes of the boat people, the hair, the eyes are cracked, the sideburns, the people in the boat are sown into the river. The man said, "Born? Brave? "Yong." "Expensive?" Brave? "Yong." "Fuhu? Brave? "Courage." "But when he hears the military order, he is afraid." Meng Ben was an official.
King Wu himself also had a brute force, because he longed for Zhou Ding, who symbolized the power of Zhou Tianzi, so he often used lifting Ding as a play. In the fourth year of King Wu of Qin (307 BC), King Wu and Meng Ben competed against each other to raise the "Long Wen Chiding", and as a result, Dading broke his hands and broke his tibia, and died in August of that year, at the age of 23. Due to the death of King Wu, Meng Ben was condemned by the clan. Although Ben died in the Fa, the First Emperor was like a statue.
The ambitious King Wu, who died in a weightlifting competition because of his bravery, reigned on the throne for only four years. Sima Qian said: "The King of Wu is powerful and good." Jia Yi commented: "Filial piety is not, Huiwen, Wu, and Zhaoxiang are in the past, because of the legacy, they take Hanzhong in the south, Ba and Shu in the west, cut the land of anointing in the east, and collect the key counties in the north." ”
