In 746 BC, Zhao Kuangyin named his uncle Quwo. Since then, the state of Jin has been divided into two, and two opposing regimes, Quwo and Iraq, have emerged. Qu Wo started his career, from Zhuangbo to Wugong, and fought for power with a small clan instead of a big clan in the Jin Dynasty. In 679 BC, Duke Qu Wowu killed the late Jin Dynasty, and the Jin regime was unified, ending the 67-year division. Historians call it "Quwo Dai Yi". Quwo Dai Yi is an important turning point in the history of Jin State.

In 746 BC, Emperor Wen of Jin died. His son Bo succeeded to the throne, namely Jin Zhaohou. In the second year of Zhao Hou's succession, Quwo (now Quwo in Shanxi) was named uncle Quwo Huan.

Quwo has fertile land, rich products, simple folk customs and prosperous business. Quwo City is bigger than Yicheng, the capital of the Jin army, which obviously violated the etiquette of the monarch and ministers at that time. When Zhao Hou ascended the throne, he was young and inexperienced. Uncle Huan is in his fifties. He is resourceful, decisive, modest and eager to learn, and is very popular in the state of Jin. After Uncle Huan was blocked, two opposing regimes appeared in the State of Jin.

In 739 BC, after six years of careful planning, the master instigated Pan Fu, the minister of Jin State, to kill his nephew Jin Zhaohou and attack Yidu from within. In response to this treacherous regicide, the nobles of Yicheng quickly assembled their troops and kept the enemy out of the city. As a result, they were defeated by Quwo. After driving away Uncle Huan, the Jin people made Ji Ping, the son of Zhao Hou, the monarch. This is Jin Xiaohou. He killed Pan Fu and Dang Yu and stabilized the situation.

In the eighth year of Jin Xiaohou, 73-year-old uncle Qu Wohuan died, and his son Yi succeeded to the throne, named Qu Wozhuang Bo. Zhuang Bo inherited his father's footsteps. In 725 BC, Zhuang Bo led his troops into Yicheng and killed Jin Xiaohou. Yidu soldiers and civilians fought fiercely with Quwo Zhuangbo, and Zhuangbo had to return to the fief.

Jin people also made Jin Ehou, the son of Hou Xiao, the monarch. However, Hubei Hou died of depression after only six years in office, and Zhuang Bo took the opportunity to attack the wing again. Zhou Pingwang noticed the diligent achievements of Emperor Wen of Jin and sent the respected Duke Guo to rescue and crusade. During his reign, Zhuang Bo launched two generation-wing wars, both of which were interfered by external forces and failed.

The Jin people also made the son of the marquis of Hubei a monarch, that is, mourning the marquis of Jin. In the second year of Jin Ai, Zhuang Bo died, and his son succeeded to the throne, that is, Quwo martial arts. Ai Hou took the initiative to attack the Wu Palace several times, and finally the 8 Jin Army was defeated, and even Ai Hou was captured. The Jin people established the boy as the king, and at this time, Quwo had greatly surpassed the Jin government in strength.

In 706 BC, Hou, a little boy from the State of Jin, was tricked and killed by Wu Gong in Quwo and attacked Yidu again. Due to the interference of the Zhou royal family, Wu Gong returned to Quwo, and Jin re-established the younger brother of Ai Hou to succeed to the throne, that is, Jin Hou. During this period, there was no war between the two sides for more than ten years, but the Wu Palace did not stop, but rested and rested.

In 679 BC, after 37 years in power, Duke Wu of Quwo wiped out Duke Jin in one fell swoop. Stole all the treasures of Yidu Palace, bribed Zhou Wang, and was taken by Zhou Wang.

Recognized, he was named King of Jin, listed as a vassal, and was called Duke in history. Dai Yi of the State of Wu succeeded in paying the lifelong efforts of three generations, finally ending the 67-year civil war and realizing the reunification of the State of Jin.

Emperor Wu of Jin was a versatile monarch. After he ascended the throne, he moved the capital from Quwo to Yidu, and strongly advocated the development of agriculture and mulberry, hoping to restore the damage caused by the war as soon as possible. Just as he was showing off his skills ambitiously, in 677 BC, Emperor Wu of Jin died, and his son Zhu Zhe succeeded to the throne for Jin Xiangong.

Determined to build Jin into a powerful country in the central plains and compete with the princes. Dedicated to the public, the measures of "governing martial arts with culture" were adopted. First of all, reform the "well-field system", reward Dr. Qing for his meritorious service and grant fiefs; Secondly, a thin tax will be paid, and some private land will be distributed to the people to encourage production; Thirdly, in order to prevent Quwo from changing his wings again, he abolished the bureaucratic system, especially threatened Quwo's "Huanzhuang family" and adopted the method of alienating other scholars and dividing and ruling.

In 669 BC, following the advice of the counselor, the public servants moved the Qunzi to Juyi in the name of enfeoffment, and soon killed them all. This is the inhuman "gathering righteousness". He also listened to Xun's suggestion of consanguineous marriage and attacked from afar, pretending to cut Guo. Xun He later became two ministers who entrusted orphans.

With the decline of the royal authority at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the hegemony of princes began. Jin Xiangong expanded the army formed by his father Wu Gongshi into an upper army and a lower army. Dedicated to the public and led by Prince Shen Sheng.

In 66 1 year BC, the state of Jin annexed the neighboring countries of Huo, Wei and Geng, and began the campaign of opening up the territory. In 657, Jin destroyed the Gaoluo family, and once again faked the felling of Guo, killing two birds with one stone on the way back to Jin. In the next few years, it successively annexed the territories of more than a dozen small vassal States, such as Ji, Yi, Li, Xian, Rui, Jia, Han and Dong.

During the 30 years since Jin acceded to the throne, its territory has expanded by more than 100 times, and it has become a powerful country running through the Fenhe River basin and across the south bank of the Yellow River, with rich products and dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has the capital to become the overlord of the Central Plains. In this sense, Jin Xiangong should be the first person in the history of Jin.
