Among the many dynasties in the past, the Great Qin Dynasty was the most influential, and the centralized system it founded has been used to this day to avoid the fragmentation of China in Europe, in addition to the other legacies left by the Qin Dynasty.
Naturally, this great dynasty would not have been established overnight, that is, the first emperor of great talent and greatness, and it took ten years to unify the six kingdoms. From the beginning, this great dynasty went from having nothing to being founded, rising and falling for hundreds of years, and it took countless generations of efforts to finally move towards brilliant unity.
According to historical records, the Qin people were prominent in the Shang Dynasty and were relied on by the Shang King for hundreds of years, but in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin people firmly sided with the Shang Dynasty and participated in the "Wu Geng Rebellion", as a result, the Qin people were forcibly moved to the west by the Zhou Dynasty, and they were reduced to slaves, raising horses and guarding the border for the Zhou Dynasty, and their status could be described as plummeting.
The tenacious Qin did not fall, but slowly climbed up and walked step by step to a peak that had never been reached before.
During the reign of King Xiao of Zhou, qin chieftain Qin Feizi became a vassal from a slave for his meritorious horse breeding. After King Yi of Zhou, the strength of the Zhou royal family became weaker and weaker, and it had to rely on the Qin people to stabilize the western territory, and the Qin people achieved great development.
The wheel of history rolled, and gradually came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the reigning King of Zhou was the famous King of Zhou You, and the leader of the Qin clan at the same time was the Duke of Qin Xiang.
Duke Xiang of Qin reigned for only thirteen years, but his influence on the Qin clan was groundbreaking, because from his beginnings, the Qin clan was no longer a small vassal, but an upright princely state.
At the beginning of the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin, the situation of the Qin clan was not optimistic, first of all, the Qin clan was still only a Western Doctor at this time, not a prince, and the sealing area was less than fifty miles, and the strength was weak. Secondly, the eastern side of Qindi is connected to Zong Zhou (the core area of the Zhou royal family), which is restricted by the Zhou royal family and cannot develop eastward, and the rest of the directions are all over Rong Di, which can be described as a strong enemy.
However, the Qin people were not intimidated by difficulties and dangers, but gritted their teeth, forged ahead, waged war with the Rong people, and laid their own living place little by little in the continuous conquest. Qin Xianggong's father, Duke Zhuang of Qin, conquered Xirong for many years and finally died on the battlefield, and after Qi Xianggong took the throne, he still kept fighting with Xirong, because there was no life without fighting.
During the years of conquest, Qin Xianggong was deeply aware of the dangerous situation of the Qin people, and he wanted to change this situation, which meant that he had to eliminate the threat of at least one of the Zhou royal families and Xi Rong. Although the Zhou royal family declined, but Yu Wei was still there, and the Qin clan could not shake it for the time being, so Qin Xianggong set his sights on Xi Rong.
Xirong refers to the collective name of the Rong people in the western part of the Central Plains, including many tribes, which are not monolithic, and Qin Xianggong then intends to start from here.
He first married his sister Mu Wei to the chief of the Xi Rong clan, King Feng, and divided and disintegrated Xi Rong, and then moved the capital to Wangyi (near Zong Zhou), gaining the trust of the Zhou royal family and avoiding the Rong warring centers in order to reap the profits.
These two decisions quickly showed value. In the second year of Qin Xianggong (776 BC), Xi Rong's unit besieged Inuqiu in a big way, and the town guarding Dogqiu was Qin Xianggong's eldest brother Shi father, who once said that he would not return his father's revenge and would not enter Qinyi, but unfortunately the situation was stronger than the people, although he led the army to resist desperately, in the end the city was destroyed and captured.
At this time, Qin Xianggong received support from Western Zhou on the one hand, and on the other hand, he received practical assistance from King Feng, and the Rong clan did not dare to kill Shi Father. After a year, he was still released, and after that, Xi Rong and the Qin people coexisted peacefully for a while.
During the brief period of peace, Qin Xianggong vigorously developed production and at the same time strengthened armaments, and the Qin entered the fast lane of development. But this was not enough, and the Qin people soon ushered in the opportunity to speed up the lane.
In 771 BC, Shen Hou joined forces with The State of Jian and Inu Rong to attack Zong Zhou, and Qin Xianggong led reinforcements to engage Xi Rong, but Inu Rong had already attacked Pickaxe Capital, and King Zhou You died at Lishan Mountain. After Qin Xianggong received the news that King You of Zhou had been killed, he had no choice but to withdraw from the battle out of self-preservation.
Withdrawing from the war, Qin Xianggong began to think about the future of the Qin clan, at this time the King of Zhou You was dead, Inuyasha occupied Zong zhou, and the two kings of Zhou and Zhou Ping stood side by side, and Qin Xianggong had to choose a king. After some comparison, he finally chose the King of Zhou Ping.
Since the choice was made, it was necessary to show loyalty, because Zong Zhou was occupied, the King of Zhou Ping was unable to recover the lost land, the Zhou royal family could only move east, but it was a long way, the royal family manpower and material resources were insufficient, at the critical moment, Qin Xianggong stood out and sent troops to protect the King of Zhou Ping to move east to Luoyi, and all the manpower, material and financial resources consumed along the way were borne by the Qin people.
Along the way, king Ping of Zhou was so moved that he named Duke Xiang of Qin as a prince, and at this point, the princely state of Qin was truly born. Moreover, the King of Zhou Ping also gave a reward, and the old land of Western Zhou was returned to the Qin State.
This seems to be a supreme glory, in fact, the old land of Western Zhou was all occupied by Inuyasha, and if the Qin State wanted it, it would have to go to inuyasha itself, and of course Inuyasha would not give it, so there was only one way left - fighting.
Holding the empty cheque issued by king Zhou Ping in his hand, Qin Xianggong's heart was full of fighting spirit, he had just finished the founding ceremony of the Qin state, and then he threw himself into the war of conquest of Inuyasha, there was no way, the fiefdom was still in the hands of others, and the princes who did not have a fief were still called princes.
The Qin launched a war against Inuyasha, and the two sides engaged in repeated battles over the Qishan region. Although after a period of development, the military strength of the Qin State has greatly developed, but the inuyasha that destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty was not vegetarian, causing great trouble to the Qin State.
In 766 BC, Duke Xiang of Qin followed in his father's footsteps and died in the battlefield. After his death, his son Duke Wen of Qin inherited his will, and after more than ten years of unremitting efforts, he finally completely occupied the homeland of Western Zhou, and the State of Qin finally obtained the fief "granted" by King Ping of Zhou.
Since then, the Qin people finally have their own country, and they have developed silently under the siege of Xi Rong, which has led to the Shang Martingale Transformation Law of Qin Mugong's Qin BaXi Rong and Qin Xiaogong's Qin Xiaogong, and the unification of the Six Kingdoms by Qin Shi Huang. The foundation of the Great Qin Building was dug down by Qin Xianggong.
