Qin Xiang opened up the country, Qin Wen expanded the territory, and the Qin state became a real country

Qin Ying's ancestor Qin Feizi was appreciated by King Xiao of Zhou because he was good at raising horses, and was given the title of Qin Land. However, Qin Feizi's fiefdom was only a "vassal" of less than fifty kilometers, not a prince. It was not until the time of Qin Xianggong that the State of Qin was considered a state in the true sense.

How did Qin Xianggong, as a descendant of a horse breeder, become a prince?

It is said that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Inuyasha attacked the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Hojing, and Qin Xianggong knew about it and rushed to King Qin. Qin Xianggong led his troops to fight hard, but in the end he failed to save the demise of Western Zhou.

However, the crown prince of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Yiusu, did not die, so the princes supported Yiusu as king, which was later the King of Zhouping.

After Yi Usu ascended the throne, another big problem was placed in front of the new king. Hokkei was sacked by Xi rong and reduced to an empty city, and the hokage capital was surrounded by Xirong tribes, threatening the king of Zhou Ping at all times.

Under the discussion between the princes and the King of Zhou Ping, they prepared to move the capital to Luoyang (the capital prepared by King Cheng of Zhou). However, the road to the east was very dangerous, and Qin Xianggong volunteered to escort King Zhou Ping to move east.

On the way to the east, Xi Rong continued to harass, and Qin Xianggong resisted to the death. In the end, Qin Xianggong safely escorted the troops who moved east, and King Zhou Ping was also touched by Qin Xianggong's loyalty.

Therefore, King Nian of Zhou Ping, on the two great merits of Qin Xianggong's qin and escort, said to Qin Xianggong: "Rong has no way, and if he encroaches on my land of Qifeng, Qin can attack Suirong, that is, he has his land." ”

This means that Xi Rong does not pay attention to morality, and robs the birthplace of our Zhou Dynasty (Qishan and Fengshui), Qin can attack the Rong people, and the land occupied belongs to Qin.

King Ping of Zhou also promised the title of Qin to be upgraded by one rank, and from then on the Qin state became a real state. The monarchs of the Qin state became true princes, on an equal footing with the monarchs of Qi and Jin.

Duke Xiang of Qin completed the feat of founding the country, but unfortunately died on the way to the crusade against Xi Rong.

The State of Qin lost its monarch shortly after its founding, and the Rong clans around it were even more eager to see it. At such a critical moment, Qin Wengong appeared on the scene and changed the precarious situation of the Qin state.

After Qin Wengong took the throne, he learned his lesson and suspended his radical crusade against Xi Rong. After three years of recuperation, Qin Wengong believed that the Qin state had recovered.

So Qin Wengong went out with 700 people on the pretext of hunting, and went deep into the abdomen of Xi Rong to survey the terrain. After a year's trek, Qin Wengong came to the Meeting of Wangwei.

The Meeting of Wangwei is the meeting of The Water of Fenshui and the meeting of The Water of Weishui, where Qin Feizi raised horses for King Cheng of Zhou.

Qin Wengong sighed, "When the King of Zhou first sealed this place to our ancestor Qin Feizi, the ancestors built a city here. After so many years, it is surrounded by the Sijong tribes, and now I am back here. ”

Qin Wengong looked around and secretly resolved to re-establish the capital here. Therefore, the people and horses of the Qin State came to the Meeting of Wangwei one after another and established a new capital city of the Qin State.

After Qin Wengong established the capital, he did not immediately go to war with the tribes of Xirong, but strengthened the training of soldiers and the breeding of warhorses, and attached importance to diplomacy with the various tribes of Xirong.

The various ministries of Xi Rong and the State of Qin had different degrees of diplomacy, and even intermarriage, so Xi Rong did not gather to attack the new capital of the State of Qin.

After training strong soldiers and fattening warhorses, Qin Wengong launched an attack on the surrounding Xirong tribes one by one.

Duke Wen of Qin reigned for fifty years, expanding the land of the Qin state to Qishan and fulfilling the last wish of The Duke of Qin Xiang. In the hands of Qin Wengong, the strength of the Qin state was greatly enhanced, so that the Qi Jin and other powerful countries in the Central Plains did not dare to despise it.

Duke Xiang of Qin made the status of the State of Qin recognized by Zhou Tianzi, while duke Wen of Qin made the strength of the State of Qin affirmed by the princes.
