The State of Qin in the Warring States period is actually a country with a very long history, from the first generation of Qin Feizi to the last Qin prince and baby, there have been 38 monarchs, a total of 681 years of founding; there are many kings who have done so, and here I want to talk about the eight most outstanding kings, here to see who are there.
First place: Qin Wengong
The founder of the State of Qin was Qin Feizi, but the official ranking of the Qin State as princes was still during the Qin Xianggong period, and this Qin Wengong was the son of Qin Xianggong, so Qin Wengong should be regarded as the second generation monarch of the Qin State. During the reign of Duke Wen of Qin, he set up historians to chronicle events; defeated Xi Rong, collected the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty, extended the territory of the Qin state to the west of Qishan; and formulated a criminal law against the three tribes. It can be said that after Qin Wengong, the Qin state can be regarded as the right track of the Eight Classics.
Second place: Duke Wu of Qin
Duke Wu of Qin was the fifth monarch of the Qin state, but his position as the monarch came quite suddenly, originally he was the crown prince, but the three major Hao clans at that time supported his brother as the monarch, and later killed his brother, so that he could succeed to the throne; the first thing he did after succeeding to the throne was to get rid of the three major Hao clans and concentrate great power on the royal family; and then launched a war of foreign expansion, successively conquering and annexing the Rong clans such as Mianzhu, Shao Rong, Ji Rong, Yiqu Rong, Zhai and Tapir, and initially set up a county system to manage the obtained land, and the following year the Qin forces reached the Weishui River Valley in Guanzhong.
Third place: Qin Mugong
Qin Mugong was the ninth monarch of the Qin state and the most famous king of the Qin state in the Spring and Autumn Period; after succeeding to the throne, Qin Mugong appointed Baili Xi and Shu Shu as his courtiers, worked hard to govern, defeated the Jin state, captured the Jin Huigong, destroyed the Liang state, the Rui state, and the slippery state, and successively helped the Jin Huaigong and the Jin Wengong to return to the throne and realize the good of Qin and Jin; although the intention to enter the Central Plains was blocked, it developed quite well to the west, opened up thousands of miles of land, and was appointed by King Xiang of Zhou as the "uncle of the Western princes" to dominate xirong, so Qin Mugong was also listed as one of the "Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons".
Fourth place: Qin Li Gonggong
Qin Li Gonggong was the seventeenth monarch of the Qin state, and also the first monarch after the Qin state entered the Warring States; during the reign of Qin Li Gonggong, many major events occurred in the whole world, but Qin Li Gonggong handled it well, and the national strength was very strong, and the Shu Kingdom, the Chu State, the Yiqu, and the Jin State all paid tribute to the Qin State successively, and also attacked a large tribe in Xirong. In the late Qin Li Gonggong, he formed an in-law with the powerful Yue State, allied with the Chu State, and captured the King of Yiqu, which shows that Qin Li Gonggong was still very effective.
Fifth place: Qin Xiaogong
After Qin Li's co-dukehood, the State of Qin began to decline, and even once almost was destroyed by the powerful rising State of Wei, although the Qin people were brave, but it was difficult to return; until After Qin Xiaogong succeeded to the throne, he appointed Shang Martin to carry out drastic changes, which made the country's strength increasing day by day; in addition, he also made peace with the State of Chu, made a treaty with Han, and jointly attacked the capital of the State of Wei, Anyi, with the State of Qi and the State of Zhao, expanding the land to the east of Luoshui, opening up territory and expanding the territory, laying the foundation for Qin to unify China.
Sixth place: King Huiwen of Qin
King Huiwen of Qin was the son of Duke Xiao of Qin, and although the first thing he did after he succeeded to the throne was to kill ShangMartin, he did not abolish the content of Shangmartin's change; in addition, King Huiwen of Qin also vigorously recruited talents, such as Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Sima Cuo, and others, who entered the Qin State during this period; Zhang Yi crossed the Six Kingdoms, opening up the passive situation of the Qin State; and relying on Gongsun Yan, Li Lizi, Sima Cuo, and others, the Northern Expedition to Yiqu, Xiping Bashu, the East Out of Hangu, and the South Shangyu to lay a solid foundation for Qin to unify China.
Seventh place: King Zhaoxiang of Qin
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was the son of King Huiwen of Qin, and after the death of his brother King Juding of Qinwu, with the vigorous help of Li Liyi, Wei Ran, and Empress Xuan, King Zhaoxiang of Qin successfully ascended the throne, and he reigned for a total of fifty-six years, during which many major events occurred, most of which arose because of him; the State of Qin at that time was indeed very strong, Wei Ran, Bai Qi, Fan Ju, Fan Li Disease, and so on, expanded the territory, laid out the world, and laid the foundation for the victory of the Qin unification war.
Eighth place: Qin Shi Huang
After the elimination of The Marquis of Changxin and the powerful minister Lü Buwei, Qin Shi Huang finally took sole control of the power, and then Yu Lie, the sixth emperor of Fen, reused Li Si, Wang Qi, and others to unify the world in ten years; after that, Qin Shi Huang began a drastic reform, implementing three dukes and nine secretaries in the central government, managing major state affairs; abolishing the system of sub-feudalism at the local level and replacing it with a county system; at the same time, the book was written in the same text, the car was on the same track, and the currency and weights and measures were unified. Attacking the Xiongnu in the north, conquering Baiyue in the south, and building the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, etc., he was really the first emperor in ancient times.
In fact, there are many Ming emperors in the history of the Qin State, but to talk about it, it is still the above eight people who are the most, especially Qin Wengong, Qin Mugong, Qin Xiaogong and Qin Shi Huang, their greatness lies in laying the foundation for the strength of the Qin State, Qin Wengong legislation, Qin Mugong dominating the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Xiaogong's drastic reform, Qin Shi Huang's completion of the unification of the world, and laying the foundation for the great unification of all generations thereafter.
