Since the reign, the life span and ruling time of the monarch of Qin State have always been too short, which has led to the instability of the Civil Affairs Bureau and even the ministers in power, thus dragging down the rise of Qin State's national strength. In order to change the situation that the monarch of Qin was young and weak, Qin Wugong had to change the succession system of the monarch to the sibling system, but later monarchs were still trapped under the age of 35, which led to frequent changes of monarchs. This situation was not improved until Qin Mugong proclaimed himself emperor.
On the other hand, Qin Mugong seems to be blessed by God. After 39 years in power, it is inferred that his life expectancy at death is about 70 years old, which is twice that of his brother. Qin Mugong's extraordinary level, supported by time, has been fully released. Thirty-nine years ensured the political stability of Qin State and the realization of the monarch's belief, and also witnessed the success of his career.
People often regret the untimely death of many people with great abilities and resent the "unfulfilled ambition", which leads to the abrupt end of grand goals. Huo Qubing, for example, died at the age of 23 after sealing the wolf. After the Northern Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong unified the North, he let go at the age of 35; After the Northern Expedition in Chai Rong, Zhou Shizong, he died at the age of 38; After Tang Dynasty in Pingding County, Zhao Kuangyin City, Song Taizu, he died suddenly at the age of 50. In contrast, Qin Mugong can be said to be "God bless talented people". Let's briefly sort out Qin Mugong's main deeds.
0 1 after recruiting talents to be emperor, he boldly absorbed outstanding talents from other countries and opened up the system of guest secretary, which preserved the best human resources for the glory of Qin state. Qin Mugong's main contributions are as follows.
Gong: During the famine in the State of Jin, it was generally acknowledged that grain was borrowed to help the State of Qin occupy the fortress of benevolence and righteousness in the struggle with the State of Jin. It is said that Priscilla was recommended by Gong.
Bai Xixi: He used to be a doctor in Yuguo. After Jin destroyed Yu, he went from the State of Jin to the State of Qin as a dowry, then fled and was caught by the Chu people. When Qin Mugong heard of his kindness, he bought five sheepskins from Yan State and used him to manage state affairs, so he was called "Doctor Wuyang".
Uncle Jian [Ji M] With the assistance of Uncle Jian and Priscilla, Qin Mugong's strategic road of "ruling the country from within and dominating the world from outside" was determined.
Pi Bao: The son of Pi Zheng, a doctor in the State of Jin, was killed by Yiwu. I took refuge in the state of Qin and became the sworn enemy of the state of Jin. He advised several times to cut gold. Since then, Xi Bao participated in the battle of Hanyuan as a famous soldier, and Jin Yiwu was captured.
Yu Yu: Originally from the State of Jin, he fled to Xirong and was highly valued. Rong Wang sent Yu Yu to the State of Qin, which won the favor of Qin Mugong. Qin Mugong tried to provoke Rong Wang and Yu Yu to turn against Yu Yu. In the thirty-seventh year, he plotted to cut Rong and helped Qin "benefit twelve countries, open Wan Li, and then dominate Xirong".
Meng: son of Baijila, general of Qin State. In the battle of Kan, he confronted Jin and lost to Jin twice. In 36 years, Qin Mugong finally defeated the State of Jin in Wang Guan, and got revenge for an arrow, which became a successful World War I for the State of Qin.
When Qin Jin was striving to be emperor in Qin Mugong, he led troops to conquer Jinmao (Pinglu County, Shaanxi Province) and gained a shortcut to the eastern part of the Central Plains via Songshan-Hanguguan Road. At this time, the powerful state of Jin, "Hexi in the west, bordering Qin, Zhai in the north and Hanoi in the east", became a natural barrier that Qin had to cross in the Central Plains. The struggle between Qin Jin and China was already inevitable, and Qin Mugong chose to give up the active attack.
Qin Mugong fought Jin for five years in Hequ (now Ruicheng, Shanxi). The war, Qin is likely to get nothing, Qin Mugong to take this opportunity to learn that the state of Jin is invincible, so he can only save strength again. In nine years, Yiwu, the Lord of the State of Jin, asked Qin Mugong to send troops to escort him back to the State of Jin to seize the position, and promised to cede the land of Hexi. Qin Mugong readily agreed. When Yi Wu returned to China and regretted his appointment, Qin Mugong was helpless.
12 years, Jin was in famine and borrowed food from Qin. Qin Mugong was allowed to borrow grain after weighing the pros and cons. 14 years, the state of Qin was in famine and borrowed grain from the state of Jin, but Yiwu took the opportunity to attack the state of Qin. In great anger, attack Kim. 15 years, defeated Jin Jun in the battle of Hanyuan and captured Yiwu.
Qin Mugong was going to kill Yiwu to offer sacrifices to the gods, but he had to apologize from Zhou Dynasty and Mu Gong's wife (Yiwu's sister) and the overall strength of Jin State. Finally, he made peace and released Yiwu. The State of Jin ceded the land in Hexi to the State of Qin and sent the prince to the State of Qin as a hostage. At this point, Qin gained an advantage in the competition with Jin for the first time.
In order to control the prince, Qin Mugong married his daughter. In twenty years, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed (the mother country of the Prince's wife) and. In 22 years, Yiwu was seriously ill, and the prince thought he was helpless now. If he hadn't fled to the state of Jin, his inheritance might have been taken away by his brothers, so he quietly fled to the state of Jin. In the second year, the prince called the emperor Jin Huaigong.
Qin Mugong has another white wolf. When he is angry, he needs to help his son Zhong Er (my eldest brother) and marry his daughter to Zhong Er. This frequent marriage in Qin Jin has also created a much-told story in Qin Jin. In twenty-four years, Zhong Er proclaimed himself emperor in Jin and killed Duke Huai of Jin, namely Jin Wengong, one of Zhong Er's "five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period". Since then, Qin Mugong has helped 8 jin j twice.
In the Jin Wengong stage, it was closely related to Qin Jin, and Qin helped Jin protect Xiang Wang to return to Zhou. Later, he defeated Zheng with him, showing a strong desire to participate in the Central Plains. However, the people of Zheng told him that "the death of Jin after Zheng was bad for Qin", which made him wake up from a dream, quit his personal behavior of cooperating with Jin to participate in Central Plains affairs, and once again moved the idea of competing with Jin.
After Jin Wengong's death, Qin Mugong took the initiative to "help the State of Jin to pacify the civil war in counties and counties, making Zhong Er in a dominant position. Now that Zhong Er has passed away, it is time for Qin to compete for hegemony. ". In thirty-three years, Meng was sent to attack Zheng and occupied the sliding city of Jin. Duke Xiang of Jin was furious, defeated Qin Jun in Xiaoshan, and captured Meng and Bai, the head coach of Qin. Jin Wengong's wife said to Duke Xiang of Jin: "These three men abandoned their armor and dragged their troops, and they hated it to the bone. It can't be compared with letting Qin Mugong kill them himself." . Jin Xiangong was persuaded, and the three generals rushed back to Qin.
At this time, Qin Mugong showed amazing open-mindedness, dressed in plain clothes, and personally went to the suburbs to meet the three generals. He said that he blamed himself for insisting on the invasion and told the three generals to be brave after being ashamed, so that their posts would remain unchanged and their salaries would increase. In 34 years, Meng attacked the gold and lost, but he has not been held accountable, which is even more commendable. In 36 years, Meng attacked the state of Jin for the third time, "crossing the river to burn the ship", and finally defeated the Jin army in the last battle, "taking Wang Guan and Yi and sealing the body in a dish".
Qin defeated Jin, the overlord of the Central Plains, and became one of the undisputed "five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period". Qin Mugong's method of taming people's hearts and Meng's determination to be brave after knowing shame have become historical classics.
Dominating Xirong Xirong and the Western Han Dynasty are basically intertwined with all the history of the Western Han Dynasty, and the chaos of dog Rong also directly led to the national subjugation of the Western Han Dynasty. Qin was the enemy of Xirong for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was not until Xirong was included in the plan of Qin State.
In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Mugong, Rong Wang heard of Qin Mugong's name and sent Yu Yu to the State of Qin for information. When Qin Mugong talked with Yu Yu, he found that Yu Yu was very talented but worried. Qin Mugong said to Li Sailiu, "We all know that neighboring countries can help others, which is something that other countries should worry about. Now that Yu Yu is very capable, I am in a hurry. What should I do? " .
Neishiliao came up with an idea and told a wonderful plan to defeat the enemy. He said, "The King of Rongguo has never enjoyed China's instrumental music in a remote place. You can try to send him a singer and dancer to weaken his ideal; Help Yu Yu to seek benefits and provoke their relationship; Save Yu Yu and delay his return. If Rong Wang thinks that is strange, he will doubt Yu Yu; There are gaps between officials and servants, and we can take advantage of them; If Rong Wang likes dancing and music, he will obey my government affairs. " Qin Mugong said yes, and immediately advertised. King Jin Rong liked dancing and music very much. He began to doubt Yu Yu, so he had to flee to the State of Qin and was succeeded by Qin Mugong.
In 37 years, according to Yu Yu's plan, the State of Qin sent troops to attack Rong, which was a great success. The king asked Zhao Gong to congratulate Mu Gong with a golden drum. The Zhou Dynasty was also very happy, and specially sent a golden drum to congratulate Qin Mugong. At this point, Qin Mugong drew his bow left and right, dominating the western Central Plains and the eastern Central Plains, pushing the development of Qin to a new height. From then on, the key to the development of Qin became to attack the city and plunder the land in the Central Plains.
From the above, we can clearly see that Qin Mugong's most brilliant achievements were completed in the last four years of his life (36 to 39 years old in Qin Mugong). If he dies after 35 years in office, he may not gain a high reputation in the future, and the hegemony of Qin is even more unknown. Qin Mugong is definitely the most qualified person to say "God bless the talented".
