When the war between Wu and Chu was ongoing, the Jin State began to prepare for hegemony, and the reason why Chong'er chose this time was because at the time of the first month, Zhou Tianzi carried out divination and obtained the hexagram of "Daji, He".

It was a good vintage, but the reality turned out to be significantly far from the truth.

The emerging southeastern hegemon Wu and the old southern hegemon Chu fought wars everywhere in the Jianghuai Valley, on the Great River, and on the Hanyang Plain.

Since the Battle of Yanling, the two countries have been wrestling, which is a continuation of the war more than ten years ago, but this time it is extremely tragic.

On a territory of more than 1,000 miles, most of the Fang countries and tribes were swept up, and even those barbarian tribes could not escape from the whirlpool of war.

Either take part in this great melee, or take your tribe and head further south to the 100,000 mountains.

But for the princes of the Central Plains, these things are too far away, and what they are most concerned about is that after suffering a crushing defeat in the Battle of Yiluo, the Marquis of Jin Chong'er once again began his own road to the hegemony of the alliance.

After so many years of recuperation, the strength of the Jin State has generally recovered, but it is limited to the influence of the alliance of soldiers, after all, the face of the Luo State has to be given, so the Jin State is now mainly taking the road of convincing people with virtue.

After all, Chong'er is still the Fang Bo canonized by the Son of Heaven, and the Jin Kingdom, which has recovered most of its strength, is still the number one power in the world, so this time, Luo Yan chose to fully support him.

And Luo Guo also wants to use this alliance to show everyone the stability of Bang Zhou's destiny.

Even within the Ji Jiang Alliance, it is also necessary to constantly suppress the arrogance of the Jin State and the Qi State, so that they can realize that the foundation of their existence is the royal family.

Luo Yu, Qi Gong Lu Jing, and Yan Hou Wujian came together, this was the first time Chong'er had seen Luo Yu.

Luo Yu is still so radiant, as long as he stands there, he will make people feel good, and he likes it very much at first sight, and praises again and again: "Prince Yu, since you were born, the name of beauty has spread all over the world, but Gu has never seen it, and now when I see it, it is really worthy of the name, and there is no one in the world." ”

Luo Yu learned from Xizi's words that he once ridiculed and said: "Yu's appearance is just given by God, but your hegemony is achieved by yourself, this is the world's hero, the husband who left a name in history." ”

Luo Yu's words can always make people believe, and Chong'er is even more cheerful and laughing, and the strangeness between the two is completely erased in just a few words, like old friends who have been together for decades.

In the land of the alliance, the monarchs of the countries have their own ghosts, but the atmosphere on the surface is very warm, and many people's eyes are with some strange meanings, falling on the envoys of Chu and Wu.

"The State of Chu and the State of Wu fought so fiercely in the south, and they even came to participate in the alliance at the same time, this won't fight directly, right?"

"The Qin State is also here, they won't forget that the last time the Marquis of Jin was knocked down from the overlord throne, it was the alliance of their two countries, right?"

With the strength of Chu and Qin, of course, there is no need to pay tribute to the Jin State, and sending people to visit the Jin State this time is just a simple reflection of the friendship between the three countries.

The envoys of the State of Qin and the State of Chu presented gifts to the Marquis of Jin, and said with a smile: "Marquis of Jin, the monarch presents you with beautiful jade, praises your virtue and merits, and deserves to be the overlord of the Central Plains, King Haotian Su will bless you." ”

Then when they saw the gifts of the envoy of the State of Wu, they all sneered: "I heard that the State of Wu is rich in swords, so I brought the sword, this treasure jade is of such inferior quality, but as a gift to the Marquis of Jin, is the State of Wu already so poor?" ”

Hearing this, the envoy of the State of Wu said coldly: "Do barbarians understand etiquette?

Etiquette is not in the value of the noble, but in the depth of friendship, my Wu Guo is a noble surnamed Ji, and the Marquis of Jin is the same blood relative.

You are dressed in luxurious clothes, but you look like monkeys with hats, and you look quite ridiculous, and you are still jumping off the beam here, and when I go back, I will definitely record your ugliness and ridiculousness in the history books. ”

"You!"

The envoys of the State of Chu immediately exploded, and what annoyed them the most was that the princes of the Central Plains called them barbarians, especially the enemy country of Wu, which was fighting each other.

The envoy of the Qin State also glared angrily, and even wanted to directly smash the skull of the Wu man opposite, so that he would know that the old Qin people were full of force.

Jin Hou looked at this scene with a little headache, his brain was buzzing, these three countries are not fuel-efficient lamps, Qin Chu needless to say, he has not forgotten the fiasco of the year.

Although Wu Guo is surnamed Ji, the only country surnamed Ji that Chong'er trusts in his heart is Luo Guo, and Wu Guo is actually no different from Chu State in his eyes.

Looking at the envoys of Wu and Chu who were glaring at each other, Chong'er thought in his heart, it is good for the two countries to fight, anyway, the Jin State will not do it now, what are you doing here.

As the master, it is not good to end up directly, Luo Yu said with a chill on his face: "Three noble envoys, the Marquis of Jin is the host, don't fight at this moment, this is disrespectful." ”

Looking at the heavy ears of the Marquis of Jin, who had an ugly face, and Prince Luo, who had a hint of chill in his smile, several people quieted down.

Zhou Tianzi naturally wanted to participate in the alliance in person, and the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Chong'er in this generation can be regarded as a relationship of shared adversity.

In the Battle of Yiluo that year, Wang Ji's army followed the Jin State into battle, but suffered heavy losses.

When Chong'er developed on his own over the years, he didn't forget the royal family, so now the relationship between the royal family and the Jin Kingdom is very harmonious.

At the time of the alliance, the Son of Heaven and Luo Yu stood on a high platform to worship Haotian and King Su, and all the princes of the Central Plains praised the greatness of Haotian and King Su.

Countless soldiers prostrate on the ground, chanting in unison, swords and swords, the cold light is cold, but the crowd is like a tide.

Luo Yu looked at the princes of the countries, and saw that everyone had a trace of solemnity on their faces, and secretly wondered in his heart, sure enough, this grand ceremony can best shock the hearts of the chaotic people and highlight the destiny of the royal family.

After the Son of Heaven finished the sacrifice, he turned to all the princes and shouted, "Princes!

The virtue of the Marquis of Jin is high, there is no one who can be compared in the world, and the merit of the Marquis of Jin is great, and there is no comparison in the world.

The widow once wanted to give the title of Duke of Jin, but the Marquis of Jin refused on the grounds that his virtue was insufficient and that God had not given it.

But the overlord of the Central Plains, if there is no duke title, is this correct?

Today's sacrifice to Haotian has passed down the will, Chong'er should be the duke, and please don't want to resign. ”

Luo Yu was also on the high platform, and said loudly: "King Su and Haotian are the same, the Marquis of Jin was ordered, become a duke, lead Zhuxia, and clear Yidi!" ”

"King Su for ten thousand years!"

Everyone shouted three times in a row, and then the princes bowed down in batches and persuaded: "Marquis of Jin, you have great virtue and great merit, and you are in charge of Uncle Fang, you should enter the position of duke, this is the supreme principle of heaven and earth!" ”

Countless armor soldiers in the land of the alliance roared one after another: "Accept! Accept! Accept! ”

The sound shook all over the wilderness, and the birds within miles were frightened away.

So Chong'er looked up at Zhou Tianzi on the high platform, bowed slightly and said, "Minister Chong'er, thank you for your love." ”

Then they climbed the high platform step by step to be sealed, and the envoys of Qin and Chu were full of shock in their eyes, and whispered to each other: "This is so powerful, you and I will not be able to taste it for the rest of our lives." ”

"Bang Zhou's destiny has been almost six hundred years, but he has not fallen, is God so kind of favor to the Zhou people?

Can it last for 800 years, or even 1,000 years?

It's really chilling, when I return to the country, I must report to the monarch truthfully, and I am afraid that it is an extravagant hope to enter the Central Plains in a short period of time. ”

The alliance is the best way to see the trends of various countries, and the nobles of Qin and Chu can see that the recognition of the royal family by the princes of the Central Plains is still very high.

The two Zhuxia states of Wu and Chu fought to the death on the Hanyang Plain, and then watched the princes of the Central Plains form a bloody alliance and make an appointment to jointly send troops to eliminate Yidi, which is really quite divided.

In fact, since the Duke of Qi Huan, there have been very few alliances.

Now the attitude of the nations towards Yidi is not the same as before, and many princes are strengthening their strength by clearing Yidi.

Among them, the Qin State and the Chu State are among the leaders, and these Yidi, especially those who are not much different from Zhuxia in appearance, are basically similar to the savages.

He was first arrested as a slave, and slowly made meritorious contributions, granted land, and fabricated household registration, and waited until he mastered farming and was able to pay taxes. Although it is impossible to compare with the Chinese people, it can be regarded as a good farmer.

"Duke of Jin, in the Taihang Mountains, Zhongshan and other tribes are becoming more and more powerful, and they even arrogantly claim to be the lord of Zhongshan.

This is really ridiculous, how can we build a country without being canonized by the Son of Heaven?

You are Uncle Fang, the leader of the alliance in the world, after this alliance, Zhongshan will definitely be punished, and Luo Guo is willing to follow you.

Bang Zhou's destiny is still there, how can he allow the barbarians to be presumptuous? ”

After Luo Yu finished speaking, the princes of all countries shouted: "Cai! ”

The establishment of the barbarian state is a political event as serious as the arrogance of the princes to claim the throne.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

If it's not a king, how can you lead the land?

Chong'er, who had just become a duke, was at another peak of his life, and he knew that his time was short, so he naturally wanted to leave some more merits in the history books.

When even the left and right sides said loudly: "Lone accepts the edict of the Son of Heaven and holds the power of Uncle Fang, naturally he can't tolerate the provocation of the barbarians, and all countries are going to besiege Taihang Mountain and attack Zhongshan." ”

In the Zhuxia worldview established by King Su, all the countries were divided by the Son of Heaven and stamped with the golden seal, so that such a country could be recognized by all the princes.

There are also some barbarians who have made great contributions to Zhou Tianzi, and if they can be recognized by Zhou Tianzi, they can exist as foreign vassals.

For example, Lu Rong, who lived in the land of Yiluo, was responsible for fighting against Yiluo Zhirong and defending Zhou Tianzi, and Zhou Tianzi agreed to their founding of the country, and also gave them the title of king, as a vassal of the Jin State and the royal family.

After nearly six hundred years of Zhou Li's education, this was almost everyone's subconscious reaction, and the faces of the envoys of the Chu State were a little embarrassed, they were indeed a member of Zhuxia, and they were still ancient states that had been divided during the reign of King Su.

But every time the king of Chu arrogates to be the king, it doesn't mean that you call yourself the king and others think it is powerful, in the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, this is exactly the manifestation of barbarianism.

……

In the ancient Chinese Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Jin were the two most special feudal lords of the dynasty, not only because they were the only two who obtained the position of chief feudal lord and were able to use the glory of royal etiquette.

The most important thing is that, starting with the Duke of Qi, the chief feudal lord began to consciously unite with the other feudal lords in the dynasty to exterminate the mysterious Fang kingdom with different cultures, which the Chinese called "barbarians", that is, uncivilized savages.

Until the Duke of Jin, two hundred years of continuous purging, in the core area of the Zhou people's life, the barbarians have completely disappeared, leaving only a few ruins. -- General History of the World: Ancient Chinese Civilization

Although there are many fallacies in the book "General History of the World", the author and translator are both masters of words, and every time I read the assertions in it, there are only a few crosses, but they are so clear, I feel that those words are absolutely amazing.

Then I recommend Mr. Gu Cheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty", which is a good book that people who like history must read.

There is also a foreign book "A Hundred Years of Travels in Germany", which is also particularly well written.
