<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the Spring and Autumn Warring States, which can be regarded as the era of daily military engagement and monthly cutting, so countless male lords were born. </h1>
In those years, being the lord of the country was not a happy thing, but very trembling, and if you were not careful, the country would be destroyed.
The special era, the interpretation of special life, the interpretation of special national temperament, and the Chu state, is in such an era, stand out from the best.
Pride was the label of the Chu people at that time, and in all the princely states, they still honestly kept their duties and were the sons and daughters of the princes.
Only the Chu state, which lives in the south, dares to be the first in the world and call the king the ancestor!
First of all, XiongQu, a gentleman of the Chu Kingdom, in order to tease King Li of Zhou, sealed three sons as kings, showing the style of his own king and his father.
Subsequently, the Chu state became stronger and stronger, and it also became more and more disrespectful to Zhou, and in the era of xiongtong, the monarch of the Chu state, he called himself "King Wu of Chu".
Who says that the Son of Heaven can only be done by people around the week? The Chu people are invincible
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the first monarch of the Chu state, called the King of Wu, which also indicates the ambition of this kingdom to establish a country with wu. </h1>
The subsequent kings of the Chu Kingdom, in the vision of the ancestors, learned from each other, and one by one became kings!
King Wen, King Cheng, King Mu, and King Zhuang rotate like marquees.
Such a story made the sage Confucius, who obeyed the longing rules of the Zhou Li, despise it incomparable.
In addition, in the history book "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" compiled by himself, he changed the contemptuous language into the "Chuzi" in the record, and the implication was nothing more than that.
The so-called king of your chu state, this saint does not agree.
Whether the saints agree or not has nothing to do with the Chu people!
Pride and untamed nature are the characteristics of the Chu State, and establishing the country by force is also the way for the Chu State to survive.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > thus, there was the emergence of the first war peddler of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Cheng of Chu. </h1>
This King cheng of Chu was undoubtedly the master of the belligerent genes of the Chu state, reigning for forty years and going out on expeditions every year, either fighting a war or preparing for a war. Except for the first few years of his reign, the title of war monger spread throughout the countries.
At the beginning of the succession of King Chu Cheng, the few conquests were actually not his own intentions, but were related to the origin of his throne.
In short, his throne was stolen.
King Wen of Chucheng had a concubine who gave birth to two sons, Xiong Yan and Xiong Yun, and after King Wen's death, the heir to the position was the eldest Xiong Yan, and as for the sad youngest son Xiong Yun, he became an idle public clan.
The brother is at his side, and generally speaking, the brother who is the king is inevitably a little worried, but the worry is that the dove occupies the magpie's nest.
This fear was put into practice by Xiong Jian three years after he was in power.
Xiong Yun was squeezed out to the point of almost dying, and had no choice but to flee to Suiguo, and xiong Yun, after fleeing with the country, used his identity as a prince of the Chu state to fool suiguo to help him counterattack the chu state.
After two years of struggle, Xiong Yun's life was reversed, he killed Xiong Xiong, seized the throne, and became the king of Chu.
This experience of killing the king and seizing the throne inevitably made the people in the country unstable, and also made King Chu Cheng, who was at the beginning of his reign, cautious.
Therefore, at the beginning of his reign, King Cheng of Chu gathered the hearts of the people with the inner Guangbu Ende, and repaired the princes to pay tribute to Zhou Tianzi externally.
The powerful capital of the Chu state: the army
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > changed the chu cheng king in the style of the chu state in the past, and also made the king of Zhou happy, and this goods actually paid tribute. </h1>
Subsequently, the King of Zhou waved a large hand and gave King Chu Cheng an edict:
Guard the south, quell the turmoil of the various ethnic groups in the Yue, and do not invade the countries of the Central Plains
King Cheng of Chu, who had this sword of Shangfang, began to suppress Yiyue in the south, constantly expanding its territory, and the strength of the Chu state increased gradually.
The continuous victories during this period of conquest made King Cheng of Chu rejoice and raise ambitions for continued conquest.
Subsequently, the Chu Kingdom, looking from south to north, began to peek into the world of flowers and flowers in the northern land.
The first unlucky one was Zheng Guo in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Zheng Guo was once a strong country in the Spring and Autumn Period, but today he is weak and weak, and he is tired of coping with the attack of King Cheng of Chu for three consecutive years!
Wanting to surrender, and taking the influence of the State of Qi, did not dare, Qi Chu competed for hegemony, and Zheng Guo became a sandwich biscuit, and the two sides were not people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the sadness of small countries lies in this. </h1>
Qi Huangong, the overlord of the State of Qi, could not sit still when he saw that the State of Chu had been bullying his little brother.
Therefore, in 656 BC, more than 100,000 allied forces were formed to unite several small countries to attack the State of Chu, and when King Cheng of Chu saw that the Duke of Qi Huan was coming, he could only admit it and send emissaries to negotiate peace with the State of Qi.
Finally, a covenant was signed, which is famous in history: the Summoning Alliance.
After the alliance!
The strategic contraction of the Chu state was won the recognition of the state of Qi as an equal, and it officially participated in the central plains hegemony.
The prestige of the State of Qi grew, and with a joint action, it curbed the ambitions of the State of Chu and gained the prestige of the hegemon of the Central Plains, and the two great powers took what they needed and became the victors of the alliance.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >but, if the alliance is useful, what else can soldiers and horses do? </h1>
After the alliance, King Cheng of Chu, after obtaining the recognition of the state of Qi, devoted himself to the hegemony of the Central Plains, and also began the rhythm of day and night conquest, and the war chronology was a string of strings.
In 655 BC, the State of Chu was destroyed.
In 654 BC, the State of Chu attacked the State of Xu.
In 649 BC, the State of Chu attacked the State of Huang.
In 648 BC, the State of Chu attacked the State of Jiang and destroyed the State of Huang.
In 646 BC, the State of Chu destroyed England.
In 645 BC, the State of Chu attacked the State of Xu.
In 640 BC, the State of Chu attacked Suiguo.
In 638 BC, the State of Chu attacked the State of Song and defeated the Song army at the Battle of Hongshui, wounding the Duke xiang of Song.
In 633 BC, the State of Chu destroyed the State of Chu.
This is the conquest table of the Chu state after the ZhaolingHui Alliance, which lasted for 22 years, destroyed five countries with names and surnames, deterred the veteran overlord Qi Guo, and defeated Song Xianggong, who had the ambition of hegemony.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the Spring and Autumn Five Powers, and two of them were directly received by King Cheng of Chu until The Duke of Jin wen came out of the horse. </h1>
In 633 BC, the State of Chu destroyed the State of Chu, and in the summer of the same year, the General Zi Yu of the State of Chu decided to instigate King Cheng of Chu to attack the State of Jin, and completely established the hegemony of the State of Chu by defeating the State of Jin. At that time, the growing King Cheng of Chu, who recognized the strength of the Jin state, said:
Heavy Ear fled the country for 19 years, and he was able to return, which is god to help him prosper, and manpower is irresistible
Unfortunately, the lord general Ziyu was not moved and insisted on fighting!
The follow-up results, as everyone knows, the Jin army after retreating from the three retreats, in the Battle of Chengpu, set the hegemony, but also let the Chu state, the hegemony lag behind for decades. The war monger King Chu Cheng, spent more than forty years to stabilize the country, conquer the world, survive the death of Duke Huan of Qi, defeat the Duke of Song Xiang, and finally defeated the Duke Wen of Jin.
Taking turns to fight the third of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, he can already be called a small hegemon.
This achievement also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent King of Chuzhuang to conquer the Central Plains.
The State of Chu continued to expand, and its territory was the largest
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the only regret, it is estimated that the future generations did not arrange well, and they died of death! </h1>
It is said that in his later years, King Cheng of Chu swayed left and right in the hereditary system of the "Zongzi" of the Duke of Zhou and the inheritance system of the "youngest son" of the Chu State, and hesitated.
Remarks: The "young son" inheritance system of the Chu state is similar to the Mongolian young son shou stove system, and the main family property is passed on to the younger son, which is considered the custom of the Chu state.
Finally caused a disaster!
The left-right swing of the inheritance system left and right, so that the position of the crown prince of the Chu state has been unresolved, and finally he insisted on establishing Shangchen as the prince, and then wanted to let his younger son prince succeed to the throne, which directly contributed to the rebellion of the prince Shangchen.
After a lifetime of wisdom and divine martial arts, he left behind the regret of eating bear paws, was forced into the palace by his own son, and finally committed suicide.
The cause is to kill his brother and seize the throne, sheng and conquer the world, die and personally force the palace, this is the life of King Cheng of Chu, a Spring and Autumn war dealer.
