The real Spring and Autumn Five Powers, talk about the Jin Mourning Gong

Historically, the real Spring and Autumn Five Powers should be: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke of Mourning of Jin, King Wu of Lu, and King of Yue.

The deeds of several other overlords are already familiar to everyone, and this article focuses on the Jin Mourning Gong.

To talk about the Duke of Jin, the name is mourning, because he died young, in fact, he should really be called the Duke of Jin Zhuo, because his performance is really too outstanding.

Duke Wen of Jin was the great-grandson of Duke Wen of Jin, who fled at the age of forty-three, went into exile for nineteen years, reigned for seven years, reigned for seven years, became the overlord, and in the decades between his flight and return to power, he had eleven wives and concubines, and finally according to his status, he was:

Wen Wei, Princess of the Qin Dynasty;

偪佶 (pronounced FU JIE), born Jin Xiang Gongxuan;

Ji Kui (pronounced JI WEI), the younger sister of the Di sisters, went into exile in Di Shisuna, and gave birth to two of Zhong'er's eldest sons, Bo Xiu and Shu Liu. Ji Kui's sister Shu Kui married Zhao Wan, giving birth to the later powerful minister Zhao Dun, Shu Kui, and Ji Kui was two of the sisters.

Du Qi, son of Gongzi Yong;

Qi Jiang, when Chong'er was in exile in the State of Qi, the Duke of Qi Huan rewarded him as the daughter of the clan;

Chenyi (辰嬴), also known as Huaiyi (淮嬴), was a princess of the State of Qin, who first married Duke Wen of Jin's nephew Duke Huai of Jin, and then remarried duke Wen of Jin, giving birth to Gongzi Le;

Nan Wei, a woman of the Chu kingdom, was given to him by the King of Chu Zhuang when he was exiled to the Chu state;

Zhou Nu (周女), the chambermaid of Emperor Zhouzong, was born into a male black buttocks;

There are also three other princesses of the Qin state.

In total, Jin Wengong had eleven wives and concubines, gave birth to six sons, and several daughters. Among the six sons, the eldest son was born to Zhong'er in his early years, was too old, and had been living in Di, which had nothing to do with the Jin state, so the Duke of Jin Xiang became the eldest son of the Jin Wen Gong in the Jin state, and naturally succeeded to the throne.

The other three princes, Gongzi Yong, were sent to the Qin Kingdom, Gongzi Le was sent to the Chen Kingdom, and the younger son, Gongzi Hei, was sent to the Zhou royal family of the grandmother's family.

Duke Wen of Jin died at the age of sixty-nine, and Duke Xiang of Jin succeeded to the throne, reigning for seven years, he inherited the hegemony of Duke Wen of Jin, sent troops to break the Qin army in the famous Battle of Kun, and captured the Three Jie of the Qin Army.

After the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, his sons were young, and the jin state was divided into several factions, going to the qin state to greet Gongzi Yong and Chen Guo to meet Gongzi Le, in an attempt to make them kings, but Mu Wei, the widow of The Duke of Jin Xiang, held his young son Yi Gao and made a big fuss in the court, and the powerful minister Zhao Dun and others had to submit, Zhao Dun sent troops to kill Gongzi Le, and then defeated the Qin army that escorted Gongzi Yong, killed Gongzi Yong, and established Yi Gao as the monarch, for the Duke of Jinling.

Duke Linggong of Jin ascended the throne at an early age, reigned for fourteen years, and became more and more mischievous when he grew up, and as a result, he was assassinated by Zhao Dun's men, at this time, Duke Wen of Jin still had a young son, Gongzi Black Buttocks, in Zhou, and Zhao Dun then welcomed the Duke of Jincheng with the black buttocks of Gongzi.

In fact, the six sons of Duke Wen of Jin, after him, the position of monarch was only passed on in the two lines of Jin Xianggong and Jincheng Gong, at this time, the position of monarch fell into the younger son Jincheng Gongyi line, and the eldest son JinxiangGong yi line was temporarily interrupted.

Jin Chenggong black buttocks, reigned for seven years, there was a Dao Ming Jun, and the hegemony of the Jin state continued.

After the Duke of Jincheng was his son Jin Jinggong, who reigned for nineteen years, during which he attacked the Zhao family, leaving only one orphan of the Zhao clan, which was one of the few victories of the gongfu over the Qing clan in the history of the Jin dynasty. During the reign of Duke Jinggong of Jin, the Jin army defeated the Qi army, but later lost to the Chu army, and the hegemony of the Jin state was weakened.

After the Duke of Jinjing, his son Pu pu of Jin Ligongzhou succeeded to the throne, he reigned for eight years, sent an army to defeat the Chu army in the Battle of Yanling, the Jin state hegemony revived, and then because he continued to clean up the Qing clan, he was assassinated by the powerful minister Luan Shu and others, jin civil unrest, hegemony naturally can not be talked about.

In 572 BC, Luan Shu and other Jin ministers went to the Zhou royal family to welcome the great-grandson of Duke Wen of Jin, Zhou, who was a famous Jin mourning duke in history. Sun Zhou was the great-grandson of Duke Xiang of Jin, who had two sons, the eldest son, Yigao the Duke of Jinling, and the younger son, Huan Shujie. When the Duke of Jin Ling was misbehaving, his brother Huan Shujie fled to the Zhou royal family, where he married and had children, and Huan Shujie gave birth to a son, Hui Bo Tan, who had three sons, the second of whom was Sun Zhou, the later overlord of the Jin Dynasty.

Sun Zhou returned to Jin, and the succession of the throne of the Jin state after Duke Wen of Jin returned to the eldest son, jin xianggong, and the younger son, Jin chenggong, and the black buttocks of the younger son, was cut off.

Sun Zhou, a fourteen-year-old genius teenager, as soon as he returned to China, he made his attitude clear to all the powerful ministers, that is, he must have the final say, he did not want to be another Jinli Gongzhou Pu, everyone agreed, he took the throne, otherwise, everyone please gao ming. The courtiers were stunned, and all the people obeyed.

As a result, the Duke of Jin took the throne, and a generation of Heroes in Chinese history appeared.

After the Jin Dynasty took the throne, the measures taken in internal affairs included: First, the use of the new Qing clan to balance the influence of the old Qing clan, while also enabling the major families to continue to serve the country; second, vigorously promote the Gong clan; third, pay attention to the development of the people's livelihood. Through these measures, the Duke of Jin consolidated his rule over the Jin state.

In terms of foreign relations, the measures taken by the Jin Mourning Gong include:

1. Rescue the Song Dynasty. The Song State was a vast place and an important geographical location, an important country to resist the offensive of the Chu State, consolidated the Song State, and was a strong obstacle to the Chu State moving north.

Second, surrender Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo was one of the larger of the chu brothers, and was very loyal to the chu state, and the Jin mourning duke led the jin army to lead the combined forces of various countries to build the Tiger Prison City, that is, the Tiger Prison Pass, to choke zheng guo's throat and force it to surrender to the Jin state.

Third, continue to vigorously support the State of Wu. This cruel move made the Chu state fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back. With the help of the Jin state, the power of the state of Wu continued to increase, and a few decades later, the state of Wu was led by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to attack Chu in a big way, destroying most of it, and the state of Chu was devastated from then on. This move of the Jin state forever lifted the threat of the Chu state to the countries of the Central Plains.

4. The Jin Dynasty led the combined forces of various countries led by the Jin Army to destroy the state of Weiyang, which was an obstacle in the jin-Wu connection channel, and incorporated it into the Song state, which not only made the Jin state and the Wu state more smooth, but also enhanced the strength of the Song state and made it more powerful to resist the Chu state.

5. It was announced that the princely states would stop paying tribute to the Zhou royal family, and that they would replace the royal family in accepting the appointment of the princes, and that the Jin state would become the center of the world, showing the arrogance of becoming the co-lord of the world.

The Jin Dynasty mourned the Duke of Jiuhe, and his great deeds completely ended the threat of the State of Chu and rebuilt the hegemony of the State of Jin.

As a hegemon, the deeds and courage of the Duke of Jin were far greater than those of the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Jin Wen, and since the Duke of Mourning took the throne, he had led his army to the Tiger Prison many times, and yue Wang Qi did not go to the Heavenly Son, and he did not go to the throne of the Zhou King like the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Jin Wen, nor did he strive for jiuding and surrendering his momentum like the King of Chu Zhuang and the King of Wu. For the Zhou royal family, the Jin mourning duke formally supported, in fact, usurped, and gave the Zhou royal family a fatal blow in the economic aspect.

The outstanding Jin mourning duke, combining political skill with grand military operations, a hundred thousand troops, surrounded by this twenty-year-old young man, obeyed his orders, he was the true lord of the world. This only overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period who held the Heavenly Son's orders on the princes, corrected the orders of the Heavenly Son, exercised the power of the Heavenly Son, and through frequent conquests, completely lifted the threat of the Chu State, completely destroyed the Yu Wei of the Zhou Royal Family, and established a hegemony far beyond those of his predecessors.

The Duke of Jin grew up in Zhou, but completely ended the residual authority of the Zhou royal family, which seems paradoxical, in fact, of course, because he is very familiar with the Zhou royal family, so, with his wise eyes, he has already seen through the weak nature of the Zhou royal family, so it is completely crushed, which is an inevitable choice for a generation of British lords.

The Duke of Jin mourned repeatedly led his army to go out and fought many wonderful battles, and here we will talk about the battle to attack and destroy the State of Weiyang.

Regarding Weiyang, it should be emphasized here that almost all domestic history books, as well as almost all materials on the Internet, including Baidu Encyclopedia, are written as Forced Yang, which is a big mistake, and the correct way to write it is: 偪阳, pronounced: FU YANG.

In 563 BC, in order to implement the strategy of uniting Wu and Chu, dukes of Jin led Lu, Song, Wei, Cao, Ju, Qi, Teng, Xue, Qi, XiaoYi and Prince Guang of Qi to meet with King Shoumeng of Wu on the border of the State of Wu (northwest of present-day Pizhou, Jiangsu) to strengthen the ties between the countries of the Central Plains and the State of Wu. After the meeting, in order to remove the obstacles that existed between the Wu state and the central plains countries, the Duke of Jin decided to attack the State of Weiyang, which was blocking the two.

The state of Weiyang was located in the area of present-day Zaozhuang, Shandong, and the Duke of Jin sent the Jin state secretaries Xun Yan, Xun Yan, and Shi Yan to lead a coalition of various countries led by the Jin army to besiege the capital of Weiyang. The city of Weiyang was small but strong, and the coalition army could not take it for a long time. The coalition forces then designed to open the city gates, and some of the coalition soldiers took the opportunity to invade the city. The Defenders of Weiyang lowered the hanging gate in an attempt to cut off the retreat route of the combined forces entering the city and annihilate them. At this critical juncture, Lu Guo's uncle Liang Qi, the father of Confucius, who was ten feet tall and brave, struggled to support the falling hanging door and rescued the coalition soldiers who had attacked the city. After that, Xun Yan and Shi Yan took the lead and personally led the coalition forces to relaunch the offensive and forcibly attack the city. After fierce fighting, the city of Weiyang was finally breached, and the kingdom of Weiyang was destroyed. The Duke of Jin incorporated the state of Weiyang into the state of Song, further strengthening the strength of the State of Song to resist the northward movement of the State of Chu.

If he had been in power for a few more years, The history of China would have been rewritten, but unfortunately, just when he was in control of everything and was preparing to further develop his ambitions, he died young at the age of twenty-nine, and a generation of British lords ended here.

The Duke of Jin was very outstanding, but he also had weaknesses, and his early death was related to his lustfulness, and after he ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, he received the women of the Duke of Jin, who were his aunts, and he soon had sons. Jin mourned the duke's lust and unbridled restraint, which caused a lot of damage to his body, causing him to fall ill before he was thirty years old, and after him, his son succeeded to the throne at the age of fifteen, that is, Jin Ping Gongbiao.

Duke Jinping took the throne at the age of fourteen, died at the age of twenty-nine, and his son Jin Pinggong, who took the throne at the age of fifteen, according to the famous article "Jinping Gong Asked Yu Shi Kuang", Jin Ping Gong lived to be more than seventy years old, unfortunately, The Title of Jinping Gong was Ping, and the evaluation given to him by posterity was very accurate, it was indeed a mediocre performance, although he reigned for a long time, but during his reign, although there was no external threat, but the internal Qing clan forces became more and more powerful, laying the hidden dangers of the jin state being divided in the future, internal affairs had problems, and the problems became more and more serious, and the external hegemony, Naturally, it is impossible to talk about it.
