Wei Ziheng, I don't know why, seemed very calm at this time, and it seemed that it was a very happy thing to see King Yue Goujian.

Although the real Yue King Gou Jian is dead, it seems to be a blessing in the world to be able to see the sword soul left by his will.

Wei Ziheng once entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Yue Kingdom and read some books carefully, including Goujian, the king of Yue.

Regarding the deeds of King Goujian of Yue's life, Wei Ziheng understands it quite deeply.

Goujian, the king of Yue, is a descendant of Xia Yu, the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty, and a direct descendant of the Xia Dynasty monarch Shaokang. Wu Yu was enshrined in Huiji to take charge of the sacrifice of Xia Yu as a guard. After the establishment of the Yue Kingdom, it has maintained relatively backward living customs and rarely had contact with the Central Plains. At this point, it was many years later. After more than 20 generations, it was passed on to Goujian's father Yunchang. During the reign of Yun Chang, he fought many times against the monarch of Wu. After Yunchang's death, Gou Jian succeeded to the throne of King Yue.

Regarding the matter of Yue Wang Yunchang, it is actually necessary to bring it up, and in the current click of Yue Guo, these two kings have brought it up almost at the same time. They do a lot of things very similarly, and the overall events are very coherent.

The ruling area of the Yue Kingdom has been centered on Huiji since Wuyu. The history contains "Yue Wang Goujian, its first ...... Sealed in Huiji". "There is no more than the beginning of the Great Yue, and the capital Qin Yu looks south...... Dayue hometown, Zhejiang to Li, Nangu, write thousand". These records only illustrate the approximate extent of the central areas and territories ruled by the Yue Kingdom. In the historical records, there is a clear record of the early territory of the Yue Kingdom, and the annals of the Yue Kingdom say this: "The land of Goujian, as far as Juwu in the south, as far as Yu'er in the north, as far as Yin in the east, and as contempt in the west, it is widely transported for hundreds of miles." Its scope is roughly in the area of the present-day Ningshao Plain, the Hangjiahu Plain and the Jinqu Hills, so it is certain that the so-called "Goujian Land" is the early territory of the Yue Kingdom. Although the early territory of the Yue Kingdom could not be compared with the "Chu Land Thousand Miles", among the vassal states in the south at that time, the scope of its acquisition was relatively large.

About 40 years ago. Gou Jian was pardoned and returned to the country, and the husband was given a hundred miles of land: "East to Tanbin, west to Zhouzong, south to the mountain, north thin to the sea." "It's less than one-tenth the size of the original. Later, Wu "increased it to seal", "as far as the east is as far as Juwu, in the west is as far as Li, in the south is as far as Gumo, and in the north is as far as the plain, more than 800 miles in length and width." Although the increase in sealing this time is as much as eight times larger than the first seal, the husband said: "The husband is more than a thousand miles away, although I have sealed it, I have not fulfilled the country." It is enough to show that the early territory of the Yue Kingdom was relatively vast. The question that needs to be clarified now is whether the above-mentioned early territory of the Yue Kingdom was opened up after Gou Jian came to power, or was it pre-existing? Judging from the available historical data, it is the latter, not the former.

First, before Gou Jian became a slave in Wu, he did not have the conditions to expand his domain. One is that his father Yunchang has just died, the situation is unstable, and he has no energy to expand his territory; The second is that time is urgent, and there is no possibility of expanding the field. After that, Yun Chang died of illness, and in the same year, at the beginning of Gou Jian's accession to the throne, King Wu Lu took advantage of Yun Chang's funeral to attack Yue. Two years later, Wu Wangfu sent to avenge the killing of his father and attacked Yue, and the Yue Kingdom was defeated. Then Gou Jian entered Wu as a slave for three years before he was able to return to China. With such a series of wars and unfortunate experiences, how can we have the conditions to open up our territory!

Second, in the early days of Gou Jian's succession, he had no ambition to expand the territory. then he was a young man in his twenties at the time of his accession. Gou Jian said: "The ancestors are in the world, not the valley is on the throne, I am young, I have no perseverance, out of the poultry famine, into the wine famine." My people don't want to, only boats and cars. It shows that Gou Jian was a rather decadent young monarch in his early years. Drinking and hunting all day long, pursuing the pleasures of dogs and horses, how can such a monarch be ambitious and expand his territory! In particular, after the battle of Mao and Li was won by chance, Gou Jian thought that "there is no Lu and Wu is not enough to fear", so he relaxed his vigilance, did not pay attention to military equipment, and did not seek territorial expansion.

Third, judging from the position of the early battles of Wu and Vietnam, the marching troops did not exceed the territory of the Yue Kingdom during the Yunchang period. After that, "King Wu did not attack Chu from the more the king, and the more he attacked from the south...... Break the Lee". After more than ten years, later, "King Wu heard that Yun often died, and he was a teacher who fought against Yue". Gou Jian led the army to resist, and "Wu Shi was defeated by Li Li". According to the Li, also written as Drunken Li, on the Li, in the southwest of Jiaxing City, Zhejiang, is an important defensive town in the north of the Yue Kingdom. Yun Chang and Gou Jian fought fiercely with Wu in this place in his later years, which shows that the territory of the northern part of Yue has not changed. From the point of view of the retreat route, Gou Jian learned that "Wu Wangfu sent troops day and night, and reported to Vietnam", so he preemptively sent troops to attack Wu, fought in Fujiao, the Vietnamese army was defeated, retreated to Zhejiang first, and returned to Huiji, with only 5,000 armor soldiers, perched on Huiji Mountain, which was the last foothold of Yue. The history of "Yu Zhou traveled the world, and returned to Dayue...... At least Kang, I am afraid that the sacrifice of the temple of Yu traces is the absolute one, and it is to seal his concubine Yu Yue, and the number is endless." It also contains "Yue Wang Goujian, its first ...... Sealed in Huiji". These records all show that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Vietnam has always taken Huiji as its main base, and Gou Jianfu Jiao was defeated and returned to his hometown of Huiji, because there was nowhere else to go.

It can also be seen from this that Yue Wang Goujian did all kinds of things when he was young.

After that, he came to power with great talent.

In the first year of Goujian, the king of Yue, the king of Wu, learned the news of Yunchang's death, so he sent troops to attack the Yue country. In Lili, south of Huiji, Goujian sent brave warriors who dared to die to challenge the Wu army, lined up in three lines, walked in front of the Wu army's formation, and shouted in unison to kill themselves. Wu Jun could see that the Yue army took the opportunity to attack the Wu army, the Wu army was defeated, and the Yue State doctor Linggufu attacked Wu Wang Lu with Ge and cut off the thumb of Wu Wang's Lu. Wu Wang Lu was forced to withdraw his army, the army retreated to Qili, Wu Wang Lu died of serious injuries, Wu Wang Lu on his deathbed, told his son Fucha: "Don't forget to take revenge on Yue Guo." ”

Gou Jian is also known as Goujian. The monarch of the Yue Kingdom. He reigned for nearly sixty years. The son of King Yunchang of Yue. Gou Jian fought with Wu Wangfu for three years, sued for peace after defeat, and entered Wu as a hostage with Fan Li for three years. After returning to Vietnam, he conspired with ministers such as Wen Chong and Fan Li to strengthen the country, did not eat heavy taste, shared bitterness and happiness with the people, and finally turned weak into strong. In the fifteenth year, Wu Wangfu invited Jin and Lu to meet in Huangchi, and then led the army to attack the Wu capital, captured the prince of Wu, and forced Wu to make peace with Yue. Later, he attacked Wu many times, and finally Wu State. Then he went north to meet the princes of Qi and Jin in Xuzhou and became the overlord. Build the capital of Langya.·

In the third year of Goujian, the king of Yue, Gou Jian heard that Wu Wangfu was preparing to attack Yue day and night. Gou Jian decided to strike preemptively and crusade against Wu before Wu sent troops. Fan Li dissuaded, Gou Jian did not listen, and continued to send troops. Houfu sent all the elites to attack the Vietnamese army, and defeated the Vietnamese army at Fujiao. Gou Jian retreated to Huiji with only 5,000 soldiers, and the Wu army then besieged the Yue army. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, repented, and Fan Li suggested that Gou Jian send peace to Wu Wangfu and merge into Wu as a minister, so Gou Jian ordered the doctor to go to Wu to talk. It means that Goujian, the king of Yue, is willing to enter Wu and bring his wife and children as ministers. Wu Wangfu agreed to Gou Jian's request, and Wu Zixu of Xiangguo opposed this matter, thinking that God wanted Wu to destroy Yue and could not agree to King Yue's request. After Wen Chong returned to Yue, he told Gou Jian about Wu's attitude. When Gou Jian heard this, he decided to kill his wife and children, and fought to the death with Wu Guo. The literature believes that Wu Dazai Bo Yao is greedy for money by nature, and can give money and goods to divide the monarchs and ministers of Wu State. Gou Jian thought it was feasible, so he sent someone to give Bo Ya a beautiful woman, and Bo Ya really accepted the bribe from Yue Guo. Go to Wu Wangfu and say: "If you continue to attack the Yue Kingdom, it will inevitably make Gou Jian kill his wife and children, burn the palace, and fight to the death with the Wu State. Wu Wangfucha thought it was reasonable and accepted Yue Guo's request for peace. Wu Zixu warned King Wu: "Now give a good opportunity, do not destroy Yue, and there will be regrets in the future." Wu Wangfu almost didn't listen to Wu Zixu's words, pardoned Goujian, the king of Yue, and withdrew his troops from Yue.

When Gou Jian was trapped in Huiji, he sighed and said, "Is this what I have in this life? Wen Chong said: "At the beginning, Shang Tang was imprisoned in Xiatai, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in Jinli by King Zhou, Duke Wen of Jin fled to Bei Zhai, and Duke Xiao Bai of Qi Huan fled to Ju State, and finally dominated the world. From this point of view, what can this grievance be? ”

After Wu pardoned Gou Jian, Gou Jian returned to China. In May of the fifth year of Goujian, the king of Yue, Gou Jian, Dafu Wenchong and Fan Li surrendered to Wu, and the ministers of Yue were sent to Zhejiang. On the road near the water's edge, people blocked the passage, and the military vehicles saw off all the way to Guling. King Goujian looked up to the sky and sighed, raised his glass to everyone, wept bitterly, and was silent.

After arriving in the state of Wu, the king of Wu summoned the king of Yue to see, the king of Yue fell in front, and Fan Li stood behind. King Wu said to Fan Li: "The widow hears that the virgin woman does not marry into a ruined family, and the benevolent and virtuous do not become officials and destroy the country." Today, the king of Yue has no way, the country is about to die, the society is broken, and the world is dead, laughing for the world. And the son and the master are slaves, and come to Wu, don't you despise it? I want to forgive the sins of the son, can the son change his mind and return to Wuhu? “

When Gou Jian arrived in Wu State, the husband sent them to live in a stone house next to the big tomb in Helu, and asked Gou Jian to feed him horses. Fan Li followed to do the work of a slave. Every time the husband went out in the car, Gou Jian would pull a horse for him, so after two years, the husband thought that Gou Jian was really obedient to him, so he let Gou Jian return to China.

After Gou Jian returned to China, he never forgot the scene of humiliation. Gou Jian hung a bitter gall in his house, and tasted the bitter taste at every meal, reminding himself: I can't forget the experience of suffering and shame in Wu State! He was clothed in coarse cloth, ate at meals, and ploughed the fields and sowed seeds with the people. Mrs. Gou Jian led women to raise silkworms and weave cloth and develop production. Goujian husband and wife share weal and woe with the people, which has inspired the whole country to work together, work hard, and eliminate Wu Xue's shame as soon as possible. Gou Jian also used the minister's suggestion to bribe King Wu and paralyze the other party; Purchasing grain from Wu and emptying its grain depots; donated timber and spent Wu manpower and material resources to build a palace; Spread rumors, divide the monarchs and ministers of Wu State, use beauty tricks, and waste the energy of the husband, so that he does not care about political affairs, and kills Wu Zixu.

Goujian, the king of Yue, also promulgated a decree to promote the increase of the population of Yue. Through a series of measures to develop production and improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the country of Vietnam has become rich and strong, and it has the ability to take revenge on Wu.

In those years, it was undoubtedly the most difficult time for King Yue to hook the sword. With no one around him, in the court of Wu State, he was willing to be a slave and a horse. In the end, he finally got rid of King Wu's suspicion and returned to China.

This is the allusion that makes the world praise the salary, perhaps people are admiring this spirit, admiring this kind of forbearance at the same time, it seems that it is difficult to imagine what King Goujian experienced at that time.

He lived in a dilapidated house with his courtiers, ate tepid food every day, farmed with the people of the Yue Kingdom, and commanded the weak Yue Kingdom in the thatched house.

If other overlords, their strength is a gradual process, then for Goujian, the king of Yue, his strength, his empire, and his hegemony are created by him.

Under the crazy suppression of the Wu State, under the background of almost destroying the country, he was still able to catch up and finally ascend to the position of overlord.

All the people of the world admired it, and the people admired it very much. Who can do such a feat?

There has always been such a saying among the people.

Dominate the world, the overlord is for it, and the powerful Zhou room is the only one who is the king of Yue!
