National Style, Qin Style

The nobles of the Qin State came from the famous families of the Shang Dynasty and were the descendants of the important ministers of the Shang Dynasty, Fei Lian and Evil Lai. Fei Lian's feet are extremely strong, his actions are particularly fast, and he is powerful when he comes from evil, and one person can resist several people; Fei Lian is the correspondent of the King of Zhou, and Evil is the guard of the King of Zhou. Qin Feizi, the first monarch of the Qin State, was the fifth grandson of Evil Lai, and Qin Shi Huang was the 35th grandson of Evil Lai. When the Huaxia people first established their power, many places were barbarian lands, and after the implementation of feudal statehood, the territory gradually expanded; Send out the Chinese nobles and establish their own territory, the lord is the Huaxia clan, and most of the people are barbarians, this is the so-called "Xia Jun Yi people". The Qin nobles were born in the Huaxia clan, and the Xia and Shang dynasties have always pursued the practice of Xia Jun Yimin. Qin was the last line of defense of the Zhou dynasty against Xirong, and the king of Zhou had promised Qin Xianggong that if Qin could drive Xirong away, the land of Xirong would be owned by Qin.

In the pre-Qin period, surnames were not unified, with men being called by their first names and women being called by their surnames. The surname of the state of Qin is the surname of Qin, and the monarch is after the fifth grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Boyi was given the surname Ying by Emperor Shun because of his meritorious service in assisting Dayu to control the water, and his tribe was the surname Ying. At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Fei Chang, a descendant of Boyi, abandoned Xia to invest in Shang, drove for Shang Tang, assisted Shang Tang to destroy Xia and established Shang, and became a hero of the Shang Dynasty. The Ying clan became the nobles of the Shang Dynasty and assisted the Shang Dynasty for generations.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou invaded Zhou, and the evil of the Ying tribe worked for the king together with his father Fei Lian, who was later killed by King Wu of Zhou, and Fei Lian fled east to the country of Xian. After the death of King Wu of Zhou, the young King Cheng of Zhou ascended the throne, and Wu Geng, the son of King Shang, took the opportunity to instigate and launch the rebellion of the three eunuchs, and the tribe surnamed Ying was also involved. After the rebellion of Zhou Pingping, he severely punished those who participated in the rebellion, and the Ying tribes were divided and forced to move to various places, most of which moved westward and became the ancestors of the Qin people.

The father is the 9th grandson of Boyi, and according to the "Historical Records", the monarchs of Qin and Zhao are both surnamed Zhao. Ji Sheng, the younger brother of the evil come, is the ancestor of the Zhao State, and Qin and Zhao are originally the same ancestor and have the same lineage. During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Ji Sheng's great-grandson made a car for King Mu of Zhou, and made great contributions when King Mu of Zhou pacified the rebellion of King Xu Yan of Xu State, and was rewarded by King Mu of Zhou to Zhao Cheng.

During the reign of King Xiao of Zhou, the nephew of the father and the 16th grandson of Boyi, Feizi, was divided into Qin by King Xiao of Zhou because of his meritorious work in raising horses. As a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty, Feizi took the fief as his clan and was called Qin Huan, and later generations also called him Qin Feizi. The Qin people raised horses for the Zhou royal family for generations and fought against Xirong. Qin's original territory was southeastern Gansu and flourished in the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi.

Qin Feizi's grandson is Qin Gongbo, Qin Gongbo's son Qin Zhong has been on the throne for three years, King Zhou Li has no way, some princes began to betray King Zhou Li, and the Xirong people took the opportunity to invade the Zhou Dynasty. After King Xuan of Zhou ascended the throne, he appointed Qin Zhong as his doctor to crusade against Xirong. Qin Zhong ascended the throne as the prince of the marquis, and finally died at the hands of Xirong. Qin Zhong had five sons, the eldest son was Qin Zhuanggong. King Xuan of Zhou summoned five brothers of Qin Zhuang, handed them 7,000 soldiers, and ordered them to crusade against Xirong, and finally Qin Zhuang defeated Xirong. King Xuan of Zhou then rewarded Qin Zhong's descendants again and appointed them as doctors of Xitui.

Qin Zhuang Gong lived in their hometown of Xiinuqiu, and Zhuang Gong gave birth to three sons, the eldest of whom was named Shifu. The father said: Xirong killed my grandfather Qin Zhong, and I will never go home if I don't kill King Rong! So, he led his troops to attack Xirong and gave up the position of heir to his younger brother Qin Xianggong, who became the crown prince. Duke Zhuang died after reigning for 44 years, and Duke Xiang of Qin ascended the throne. In 777 BC, Qin Xianggong married his sister to King Xirongfeng as his wife. In 776 BC, Sijon besieged Inuhill, and Shifu counterattacked, and was finally captured by Sijon. After more than a year, Sijon released his father. In 771 BC, Dog Rong and Shenhou attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty together, killed the king of Zhou You at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and Qin Xianggong led his troops to rescue the Zhou Dynasty.

In 770 BC, in order to avoid the harassment of the dogs, King Ping of Zhou moved the capital to the east to Luoyi, and Duke Xiang of Qin led troops to escort King Ping of Zhou. King Ping of Zhou made Xianggong a prince and gave him land west of Qishan, and Qin began to establish a state. Later, the Qin state recaptured the territories that had been occupied by the Rong and Di people, which originally belonged to the Zhou dynasty. King Zhou Ping promised King Qin Xiang: Xirong does not preach morality and invades the land of Qishan and Fengshui, and if Qin can drive away Xirong, the land of Xirong will be returned to Qin. For this reason, King Ping also made an oath with Xianggong. It was at this time that Xianggong really became a prince, and communicated with envoys with other princes, and exchanged gifts of appointment. In 766 BC, Qin Xianggong fought against Xirong and died there when he reached Qishan, and Qin Wengong ascended the throne.

After the Duke of Qin Wen, after the efforts of several generations of monarchs, the Qin State won successive victories in the war against Xirong, and its territory gradually expanded. Until the Qin Degong moved the capital to Yongcheng, the Qin people had occupied most of the land of the Guanzhong Plain after nearly a hundred years of hard work in the early years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and achieved their rise to become an emerging power in the West.

Qin Degong was followed by Qin Xuangong, and during the reign of Qin Xuangong, the Qin army had a border conflict with the Jin state, which had just been also in a state of rapid expansion. Qin Xuangong and Qin Chenggong did not reign for a long time, and after Qin Mugong ascended the throne, in order to maintain a good relationship with the Jin State, he successively supported the Jin Hui Gong and the Jin Wen Gong to stabilize the chaotic situation of the Jin State. Qin Mugong originally wanted to establish the Duke of Jin Wen to achieve the goal of controlling the Jin State, but he did not expect that the Duke of Jin Wen would instead use the power of the Qin State to strengthen the Jin State and then dominate the Central Plains.

Qin Mugong wanted to march into the Central Plains, but was unexpectedly hindered by the Jin army on the way, and the battle of Kun killed the main force of the Qin army. At this time, the Jin State was at the peak of the monarchy, the ministers, the country, the prosperity and the people. Qin Mugong decisively adjusted the national policy and targeted the nomads in Xirong. Qin Mugong pointed the spearhead at Xirong, stabilized his rear, and laid the foundation for Qin as one of the four great powers of the Spring and Autumn Period.

After the death of Qin Mugong, Qin Kanggong ascended the throne, and during the reign of Qin Kanggong and Qin Gonggong, they constantly challenged the Jin State. At this time, Jin Linggong was stubborn, Zhao Dun controlled the government of the Jin State, and the hegemony of the Jin State was about to collapse. Qin and Chu began to move closer militarily, forming an offensive against the Jin state before and after, the Chu state went north to compete with the Jin state, and the Qin state attacked the rear of the Jin state. Even so, Qin won a rare victory in the war with the Jin state.

After the death of the Duke of Qin, Duke Huan of Qin ascended the throne, and the Jin army defeated the Qin army. After Qin Jinggong ascended the throne, he continued to pursue the policy of uniting Chu to attack Jin. At this time, the Jin mourning Gongwen and martial arts of the Jin State led the Jin Kingdom to its heyday again. At this time, the state of Chu also withdrew from the ranks of the struggle for hegemony, and the state of Qin no longer had the strength to deal with the state of Jin. Later, Qin Jinggong focused on improving diplomatic relations with the Jin state, and the two sides revisited the good relations between Qin and Jin.

In 453 BC, the Jin Han, Zhao, and Wei families jointly attacked Zhibo, and the Zhi clan perished. Zhao Xiangzi ruled, and the Jin Kingdom became the world of the Three Jin Dynasty. In 425 BC, Zhao Wuxian died, and Wei Si ruled as the Marquis of Wei. He appointed Li Kui as the prime minister and Wu Qi as the general, and changed the law to become stronger, and the Wei family quickly became strong. At the same time, Wu Qi invaded the land of the West River of Qin, and Duke Jian of Qin and Duke Hui of Qin repeatedly attacked the Jin State, but they were all defeated by Wu Qi. Wu Qi took advantage of the victory to attack Guanzhong, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Qin State was powerless to resist. In 389 B.C., Qin Huigong broke the cauldron and sank the boat, raised 500,000 troops and fought to the death with the Wei army, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army with 50,000 soldiers, this battle of the Qin State can be said to be lost, and there is no longer the strength to resist the offensive of the Three Jins.
