Zheng Huangong
Ji, a famous friend, is also a mother and brother. In 806 BC, Yulin (now Shaanxi), the last country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was named Zheng. When Zhou Xuanwang died, Zhou Youwang succeeded to the throne. Zhou Youwang is incompetent. He walked around a "cold beauty" named Bao Si all day, smiling for Bao Si. He actually lit a signal that was only used in war-a bonfire. When the vassal States saw the bonfire burning, they all came to him for rescue. When they came to see it, it turned out that it was a prank played by the King You to make Bomei laugh, and the vassals were naturally very unhappy.
In the eighth year of Zhou Youwang's reign, King Wang You appointed Zheng Huangong as Si Tuleideng (one of the three public offices, managing cadastre and household registration). Zheng Huangong serves the king. You, a bad king, accompany you like a tiger. With the decline of the royal family, Zheng Huangong began to think for himself. So, he asked Taibo for advice on "how to escape from death". Tai Shibo analyzed the situation in the world for Zheng Huangong: every feudal country is either a relative of the king or a relative of the king, and every hero has his own fiefs, which have been established for hundreds of years and are deeply rooted. It is inconceivable that you want to find a place under his elbow. And there is a piece of land between Dongfang River, Ji, Ying and Luo, where there are ten countries, among which Guo and Gui are the largest, and Guo's monarch always thinks that he is the descendant of his brother and uncle Ji Zhong, and his blood is pure, so he "relies on the situation". Located in the mountainous area, Lebanon is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although it is not the country of Ji's surname, because of its geographical relationship, "Li Jun relies on risks". These two monarchs are "greedy for profits, and the people are not attached." You are Stuart of North Korea, and you have a lot of good rule. Guo Hetai's people know that they love you very much. If you prepare gifts to bribe Guo and Yi Jun, and you are humble and accommodating, please borrow a piece of land to temporarily settle your family, and they will lend it to you. In addition, there is another important reason, that is, you are an important official in the DPRK, and you are still useful. They will also ask you for help when something happens. In this regard, they dare not refuse to do it for you If so, "the people of Guo and Qiang are all citizens." This country is in crisis. If the country changes, the two countries will be in turmoil. Then you can "resign!" After Guo and Li perished, the other eight small countries naturally surrendered.
According to this strategic policy, Zheng Huangong acted immediately and soon transported the bodies (family, belongings and slaves) to the East. Guo Miaowang naturally won't put his family in his own country, and certainly dare not leave the family of this official in the wild. Just between Guo and Miao, there is a city left over from Shang Dynasty that belongs to Guo's territory, so I lent it. Zheng Huangong made his home in this city, which is Jingxiang, 20 miles southeast of Xingyang today.
To expand its territory, Zheng Huangong must first aim at Thailand. Li is a country whose surname is Yu, not Ji. If Li is destroyed first, the princes and the Zhou royal family will not be shocked. In addition, when Huan Gong was in the funeral, it seemed that the scenic area never provided convenience, so I wanted to give him some color to see see.
However, Qiang has been in business for hundreds of years, and it is in the mountains. Hard attack is definitely not possible, what's more, Zheng doesn't have enough manpower and material resources to get the Qiang in one fell swoop. After the plot, Zheng Huangong came up with a brilliant idea: he sent intelligence personnel to collect information about heroes, good ministers, wise men and brave men in Taiguo, wrote their names in the forged alliance book, and wrote down the distribution plan and the official positions to be awarded to them by the Queen Mother. Taking advantage of the night, Zheng Huangong sent people to secretly bury these "League Books" near Qiang, sprinkled chicken blood and threw some chicken feathers where people could see them, resulting in the appearance of an League Book here. The next day, someone reported the situation to the monarch of the country, and the monarch immediately ordered the excavation, and sure enough, the "Union Book" was dug up. Li Jun was very angry after reading it. He followed the map, arrested all these people who "knew foreign countries from within" and "ate foreign things from within", and killed them all without asking questions indiscriminately. Pity those heroes, good ministers, argumentative and brave people in poor countries, who were kept in the dark until their death and were cleaned up by their beloved masters.
Zheng Huangong alienated the monarch and ministers of this country, and it was completely successful. There were no good ministers in the country, so Zheng Huangong "took over" and actually mastered the state power.
Zheng Huangong sent a lot of food to the East to solve the problem of eating. There are many beaches and vast wasteland around Xingze and Putianze. These beaches are fertile and easy to develop, and there will be a good harvest that year. So, he led his family, slaves and the adherents of the Shang Dynasty who were liberated by him to Zheng, and "uǒu killed this place with Ai, chopped wormwood and quinoa, and lived together".
Zheng Wugong
Zheng Huangong had just settled down his family. In the 11th year of Zhou Youwang (77 BC1), a "rebellion between dogs and the jungle" broke out. Because you Wang once praised Bo and laughed it off, the "bonfire play princes" lost their trust, and the bonfire spread to the vassal States. The ministers thought the king was joking, but later they didn't send troops. When I was sure that it was really a "wolf coming" this time, you Wang had been killed and the capital Haojiang was razed to the ground. After Zhou Pingwang acceded to the throne, he handed over the original land in Zhou Zong to Qin Xianggong for management, while he moved eastward to Luoyi under the protection of governors. This is the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Zheng Huangong was killed in the Dijon uprising. Huan Gongzi dug a pit (that is, Zheng Wugong) and hastily buried his father at the foot of Huashan Mountain, thus protecting Pingdong from moving eastward. Digging into the position of father Jue and stepfather, he is still Stuart, the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Zheng was accused in the fief of Chaling. Zheng Youguo has no boundaries. Although there is a "burial ground" in the East, it is borrowed from other people's land after all, and a large number of subjects remain in Zheng's fief. People are the most precious. How can we transfer these disciplines to the East? When the Zhou royal family moved eastward, it needed someone to protect it, and it also needed to move the royal family's heavy weapons, because heavy weapons were the symbol of the country. The royal family moved eastward and was escorted by the Jin army. Zheng Wugong seized the opportunity and took the initiative to carry the royal heavy weapons. So, an emergency was launched in Zheng's hometown, and the public was furious, and the Zhong Ding ritual vessels of the Zhou royal family were transported to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although the road was bumpy, long and painstaking, it was protected by the army and arrived safely in Luoyi. After the reunification, a large number of subjects of Zheng came to the capital funeral home unconsciously or unconsciously and became the basic subjects of Oriental Zheng.
Because Zheng Youguo was borderless, he died as a diligent king, which made great contributions to Wang Dongqian. Ping Wang allowed Zheng to be rebuilt on the land near the capital. Zheng Wugong established the Eastern State of Zheng, with Beijing as its capital.
According to Records of Historical Records and Biography of Huo Zhi, Miao is occupied. In the second year (769 BC) when Pingdong moved eastward, Zheng Wugong reoccupied its city, and the Miao kingdom was completely destroyed. After a year (767 BC), Zheng Wugong destroyed Guo. In 765 BC, Zheng Wugong moved the capital to Qinyi (now Xinmi). Eight small countries around, Yan (one is Wu), Bao (our time), Bu, Dan, Yi, Li and Hua, all surrendered to Zheng. At this point, Zheng has occupied the territory of the original ten eastern countries.
After Zheng Wugong inherited his father's footsteps and occupied the Ten Eastern Countries, he led his subjects to reclaim beaches, expand their territory and increase their income. During this period, Kaifeng in the east and Xinxiang in the north (all on the south bank of the Yellow River) have been included in the territory of Zheng State. With the expansion of territory and the enhancement of strength, the country stabilized and Zheng became a powerful country in the East.
Zheng Zhuanggong
In 744 BC, Zheng Wugong died and his son Zheng Zhuanggong succeeded to the throne. Duke Zhuang succeeded his father as Stuart of the Zhou royal family.
Zheng Zhuanggong inherited the legacy of his ancestors and made efforts to manage the State of Zheng in an orderly way. When he dominated the vassal, he had to make a special conquest. Zheng is getting stronger and stronger, and the vassal States are uneasy. The Zhou royal family also felt the crisis and thought that Zheng was closely related to the dynasty and suffered under his armpit. Therefore, King Huan of Zhou wanted to replace Zheng Zhuanggong's position as an aristocratic scholar in the dynasty with the envy of Duke Guo to his father, and weaken the power of Duke Zhuang. Zheng Zhuanggong was very angry after hearing this, because his ancestor Zheng Huangong died, and his father Zheng Wugong respected the king everywhere. Zheng didn't feel sorry for the Zhou royal family, so how could Zhou be ungrateful! So Zheng Zhuanggong argued, and King Huan of Zhou knew he was wrong and swore "No". Therefore, the Zhou royal family and Zheng took the hostages as a guarantee, which was called "the Covenant". The exchange of hostages between Zhou and Zheng caused the status of Zhou Dynasty to plummet. Zhou Zheng's hostage incident increased Wang's dissatisfaction. King Huan of Zhou constantly weakened Zheng Zhuanggong's power, and Zheng Zhuanggong also gave tit for tat. He sent people to harvest the autumn harvest under the eyes of the royal family, putting pressure on Zhou's royal family, and the relationship between Zhou and Zheng was further tense, which was called "Zhou and Zheng made bad friends."
In 707 BC, King Huan of Zhou deposed the dynasty and led the allied forces of governors to attack Zheng, which was called the battle in history. In this battle, Zheng won a great victory. King Huan of Zhou was shot in the shoulder by Zheng and lost his reputation. In the evening, someone was sent to "sympathize with" Huan Wang, telling him that Zheng was forced to take self-defense action and shot Huan Wang on the shoulder. This was purely accidental. Zheng Zhuanggong combines hard and soft, and his political means are vividly displayed, which can be described as effortless.
Wu Jiang, the mother of Zhuang Gong, always disliked Zhuang Gong, but liked his brother Duan Shu. When Wu Gong was alive, Wujiang asked Wu Gong Li Duan to be a prince, but Wu Gong disagreed. When he acceded to the throne, his mother Wu Jiang asked for fief for Duan, but Zhuang Gong refused. In the second year, Wujiang invited Beijing for Duan, "making this his home and calling it Uncle Jing".
The capital is the old capital painstakingly managed by Duke Huan and Wu Gong. Although forced to give up, it is also a national town, and it is also a good candidate to send a younger brother to guard it. Duan, who lives in Beijing, is deeply loved by Beijingers. Uncle Tian Yu and Uncle Tian Yu in The Book of Songs are the folk songs produced at this time. "Yu Shutian" describes Shu Duan's kindness, courage and people's respect for him. "Yu Tianshu" records that Zhuang Gong visited Beijing, and Duan Qin went to the paddock to fight with the tiger. "Beat the tiger and give it to the government" (capture the tiger alive and give it to the king). Tiger hunting is a military exercise in which tigers are captured for sacrifice. The monarch's brother was naturally happy. While appreciating his martial arts, he warned him not to kill his uncle (Ni incarnation) or hurt his daughter (the same as' you'). Don't do this again in the future to prevent the tiger from hurting you. What a vivid and harmonious picture this is! However, people's desires are endless. With the help of his mother Wu Jiang, Duan took the land in the west and north of Zheng as his own, resumed "gathering soldiers, repairing nails, repairing soldiers, riding alone and attacking Zheng" (repairing battlements, collecting grain and grass, innovating equipment and weapons, marshalling infantry fighting vehicles and attacking Zheng), and prepared to overthrow his brother and replace him.
In 722 BC, Duan attacked Zhenghe Wujiang on the grounds of internal forces. Zheng Zhuanggong got this information and ordered his son to lead the army to capture the capital. Duan was defeated. He ran away from Yan and communist party. Brothers, brothers and sisters, become enemies. Uncle Beijing went out to be an ordinary uncle, and his mother Wujiang personally directed his younger brother's coup, which was unsuccessful and terrified. However, Zhuang Gong was very angry and disappointed with what his biological mother had done. He uttered the angry words "I will never see you after I die". Feudal society emphasized filial piety, and mothers should be filial even if they were unkind to their sons. Even if the mother is wrong, the son should be filial. After a long time, Duke Zhuang felt a little out of line, but as a monarch, he was eloquent and never stepped down. The minister should dig a tunnel at Uncle Kao's suggestion and go straight to the spring to let mother and son meet. As a result, the mother and son met in the tunnel and they were "happy". There is a ravine in Beijing today, which is said to be the place where Zhuang Gong and his mother meet.
After Zheng Boke took office, Beijing has not seen any historical records for more than 300 years. It was not until the fifteenth year (408 BC) that the Han Dynasty conquered Zheng and captured (Qixian) that there was a record of Zheng. "Beijing City" (the maintenance of Beijing City) is obviously out of the need of war. Because the Korean army has taken it, it is very close to Xinzheng, the capital (Zheng Guochu is in Xing, moved to Mi, and then moved to Xinzheng), and the capital is threatened. In the east and south of Xinzheng, there is no danger of defending the enemy from the south and east to South Korea. Xinzheng, the capital, has no geographical advantage like Beijing. Thirty-three years after "Jing Cheng", Zheng was destroyed by Han. In these 33 years, Beijing should be Zheng's second capital.
