The life of the character
1, developing national strength
In the forty-fourth year of Qin Zhuanggong, Qin Zhuanggong died and Qin Xianggong acceded to the throne. At that time, Rongdi's influence was still very strong, which directly threatened the foundation of Qin State.
On the other hand, Qin was just a doctor, only obliged to work hard, and did not win the trust of the Zhou royal family. Qin Xianggong knew that Qin people lived in the cracks, and a little carelessness would lead to disaster.
Qin Xianggong sized up the situation, and in the first year, he married his sister Mubo to Xirong and made him king. Qin Xianggong's decision shows his keen judgment and strategic vision.
In the second year of Qin Xianggong, he moved the capital to Iraq. In the same year, soldiers besieged the dog hill on a large scale, and his father led the army to resist stubbornly, but unfortunately he was captured in the city.
Because of the close relationship with Xirong, and according to the strategic location of the city, the Rong people did not kill their father, but sent him back a year later, and the two sides once made friends.
Qin Xianggong made two important decisions, namely, to marry his sister and move the capital. On the one hand, Qin people strengthened their relationship with the Zhou royal family and got more reliable support; On the other hand, the eastward occupation of fertile land can greatly develop production and strengthen military equipment, thus entering a stage of rapid development.
2. As a vassal
After Zhou Youwang's death, Qin Xianggong was faced with the choice of either following King Xie Zhou or supporting Zhou Pingwang. Qin Xianggong took advantage of the traditional prestige of the Zhou royal family, not limited to the old relationship between Qin and Zhou Youwang and Ji Bolun. Especially after Zhou Youwang's death, there is no need for him to be hostile to Zhou Pingwang, the orthodox representative of the royal family.
So in the Zhou Dynasty, Qin Xianggong sent troops to escort Zhou Pingwang when the capital moved to Luoyi, in order to avoid the disaster of Dijon. Zhou Pingwang made Qin Xianggong a vassal and sealed him the land west of Qishan. He also said: the dog Rong is cruel and ruthless, plundering our rich and diverse land. As long as Qin can capture Xirong and drive it away, it can occupy those lands.
Zhou Pingwang and Qin Xianggong vowed to give him a title. At this time, vassal States were established, enjoying the same status as Qi, Jin, Zheng and other countries, and had to exchange envoys and visit each other with Shandong vassal States. This is a huge leap.
Qin Xianggong was very happy, that is, he set up Xi _, offering sacrifices to Bai Di with three heads of colts, cows and sheep in Xichou to celebrate the official founding of Qin.
3, died of cutting.
Although the Qin people got the opportunity of free development in Guanzhong area, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin Xianggong was still facing a severe survival test. The land that Zhou Pingwang gave to Qin actually covered the Rong and Di nationalities. If Qin wants to survive, it must fight against Rong and Di for a long time, constantly strengthen itself and expand its territory.
The struggle in the first few years ended in the failure of Qin. Qin Xianggong watched the land be granted to him, but he couldn't get it. He was very unwilling, so he attacked Rong and Di year after year. Qin Xianggong once led troops to his fief Qishan, but failed to gain a foothold, so he had to return to his hometown "Xichuang".
In the 12th year of Qin Xianggong, Qin Xianggong crusaded against Xirong and died suddenly when he hit Qishan. His son Qin Wengong succeeded to the throne.
