Chapter 192 Duke Mu of Qin

Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: It means that King Chuzhuang really didn’t behave like a wise king at the beginning.

Wuduyi: Who says it’s not the case? He and Li Longji are really two extremes.
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: And the appearance rate of his concubines is really too high, right?
My charming and short-lived ancestor: This is in sharp contrast to Brother Zheng!
The pig is coming to the bowl: who says it is not? I just saw these deeds and they really don’t look like Mingjun! Whose good king is being persuaded every day?

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Hey, so that’s a very confusing behavior!
Su Yue looked at the next person and said, "You will be familiar with the next person. He is Duke Mu of Qin!"

Duke Mu of Qin (? - 621 BC), surnamed Ying, surname Zhao, named Renhao, was a statesman in the Spring and Autumn Period and the ninth king of Qin (reigned from 659 BC - 621 BC).

The son of Qin Degong, the younger brother of Qin Xuangong and Qin Chenggong.

Duke Mu of Qin succeeded to the throne in the fourth year of Duke Cheng of Qin (660 BC).

Later, Baili Xi was redeemed from the Chu people, and the state affairs were handed over to Baili Xi. On his advice, he welcomed Uncle Jian as the senior official, and secretly reused Pi Bao, who had fled from Jin to Qin.

In the thirteenth year of Qin Mugong (648 BC), in order to relieve the drought in Jin, the "boating campaign" was launched.

Two years later, a famine occurred in the Qin State. Duke Mu of Qin borrowed grain from the State of Jin. Unexpectedly, Duke Hui of Jin repaid kindness with hatred. Not only did he not provide grain to the State of Qin, he also sent troops to attack the State of Qin, triggering the War between Han and Yuan.

Duke Mu of Qin captured Duke Hui of Jin alive in this battle, and then sent him back to Jin to ally with Jin. Later, he also supported Jin Gongzi Chong'er (Jin Wengong), who had been exiled for many years, to return to the country and succeed to the throne.

In the 630th year of Duke Mu of Qin ( BC), he and Duke Wen of Jin sent troops to besiege the State of Zheng. After being persuaded by Zhu Zhiwu, they formed an alliance with the State of Zheng.

Three years later, he sent troops to attack Zheng again, but failed. Instead, he was attacked by Jin Xianggong and was defeated in the Battle of Wei.

From then on, he began to fight with the state of Jin.

Later, after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Pengya, in order to avenge repeated defeats, he adopted the suggestion of internal history Liao and captured Yuyu from the west.

In the thirty-sixth year of Qin Mugong (624 BC), he launched the Battle of the Royal Officials and defeated the Jin army. The next year, he used Yu Yu's plan to capture the Rong King alive.

In the thirty-ninth year of Qin Mu Gong (621 BC), Qin Mu Gong passed away and was buried in Yongcheng. He was posthumously named Mu Gong (first named Mu Gong).

During his reign, Duke Mu of Qin judged the situation and was good at appointing talents in domestic affairs to strengthen domestic development.

Adopting a peace-oriented approach to the outside world, we maintained a relatively friendly relationship with the Jin State, and at the same time developed westward, subduing the twelve Rong states to the Qin State, expanding the territory thousands of miles away, and being able to dominate the Xirong State. King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty granted him the Golden Drum, which became the One of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: No, why do I feel that these words are very familiar and I feel like I have forgotten them?
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): +1, but I just can’t remember!

My charming but short-lived ancestor: Well, then we need to bring out Li Si’s "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests"!

Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion

Pre-Qin Li Si
When I heard that the officials were talking about expelling guests, I thought it was too much. Ximu Gong asked for scholars, and he took Yu Yurong from the west, Xi Yuwan from the east, and welcomed Uncle Jian from the Song Dynasty. Pi Bao and Gongsun came to support the Jin Dynasty. These five sons were not born in Qin, but Mu Gong used them, merged the country with twenty, and then dominated Xirong.

Xiaogong used the method of commercial martingale to change customs, the people prospered in Yin, the country became prosperous and strong, the people were happy to use it, the princes personally obeyed, won the masters of Chu and Wei, controlled thousands of miles of land, and have been strong to this day.

King Hui used Zhang Yi's plan to seize the land of Sanchuan, merge Ba and Shu in the west, capture Shangjun in the north, capture Hanzhong in the south, encircle Jiuyi, control Yan and Ying, capture the danger of Chenggao in the east, cut off the fertile soil, and then dispersed the six The country's obedience led it to serve Qin in the west, and its merits have been achieved to this day. The Zhao King captured Fan Ju, deposed Ranghou, drove out Huayang, strengthened the public houses, eliminated private houses, cannibalized the princes, and made Qin an emperor.

Who in the clouds sends a brocade book: Soga! I just said that I always feel like I’ve carried it on my back!

Lianlian: I have a question! Why is there Pre-Qin in front of Li Si?
My charming but short-lived ancestor: You have to remember one thing, Li Si is almost twenty years older than Ying Zheng!
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): 21 years old to be precise! Li Si was born in 280 BC and Qin Shihuang was born in 259 BC

The pig came to the bowl quickly: "Oh my God!" I thought they were about the same age

His Majesty Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty: How is that possible?
Su Yue looked at the comment area and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at the anecdotes about Duke Mu!"

Duke Mu of Qin went to heaven and Duke Mu of Qin ascended the throne. He lay ill and was unconscious for five days. After waking up, he claimed to have dreamed of God, who ordered him to quell the civil strife in Jin.

The historian recorded it and hid it in the inner palace. Later generations said that Duke Mu of Qin went to heaven.

Doctor Wuxi
In the fifth year of Duke Mu of Qin (655 BC), Duke Xian of Jin destroyed the states of Yu and Guo, captured Baili Xi, the official of Yu state, and sent him to Qin as a dowry slave.

Bailixi fled from Qin to Wancheng (now Nanyang, Henan) and was arrested by people on the border of Chu.

Duke Mu of Qin heard that Baili Xi was a talented man and wanted to ransom him with a large sum of money, but he was afraid that the people of Chu would not agree, so he sent someone to say to the people of Chu: "My dowry slave is in your hands. Please allow me to redeem him with five black ramskins." "Back."

After learning about it, the people of Chu agreed to let Duke Mu of Qin redeem Baili Xi.

At this time, Baili Xi was already in his seventies.

Later, Duke Mu of Qin released Baili Xi and discussed state affairs with him. Baili Xi declined and said, "I am a minister who has subjugated the country. How can I be worthy of questioning?"

Duke Mu of Qin said: "The king of the Yu State did not use you seriously, so the demise of the Yu State was not your fault."

He insisted on asking. Duke Mu of Qin talked with Baili Xi for three days. He was very happy and handed over the political affairs of the country to Baili Xi, known as the "Doctor Wuxi".

The virtue of eating horses
Once upon a time, Duke Mu of Qin lost a fine horse, which was caught and eaten by more than 300 villagers under Qishan Mountain.

The officials caught more than 300 people and wanted to take action.

Duke Mu of Qin said: "A gentleman does not hurt people because of livestock. I have heard that eating good horse meat without drinking alcohol will hurt people." So Duke Mu of Qin gave them wine, invited them to drink, and pardoned them.

In the fifteenth year of Qin Mugong (645 BC), when the Qin army and the Jin army fought in Hanyuan (now between Hejin and Wanrong, Shanxi), Qin Mugong and his subordinates chased Duke Hui of Jin who had escaped from the large army, but did not catch him. Duke Hui of Jin was surrounded by the Jin army.

More than 300 people who ate Qin Mugong's good horses under Qishan Mountain all asked to join the war when they heard that Qin was going to attack Jin. When they found out that Qin Mugong was trapped, they all risked their lives and charged forward. In return for eating good horse meat, they were given by Qin Mugong. Wine and the grace of forgiveness.

Uncle Jian's Crying Master
In the winter of the 628nd year of Duke Mu of Qin ( BC), Qi Zi, an official of Qin State, sent someone from Zheng State to report to Qin State: "The people of Zheng State asked me to take charge of the key to the north gate of their capital. If I send troops quietly, I can Occupy their capital."

Duke Mu of Qin asked Baili Xi and Uncle Jian for advice.

Uncle Jian advised him, "No. I have heard that to attack another country's city by surprise, you cannot exceed a hundred miles with chariots and thirty miles with infantry."

The success of any sneak attack depends on the strong morale and strength of the army, so that it can destroy the enemy when it arrives and move quickly when retreating.

Now you have to march thousands of miles and cross the territories of other vassal states to attack other countries. I don't know how this is possible! You'd better think about it again. "

Duke Mu of Qin said, "You don't understand, I have already decided."

So Duke Mu of Qin sent troops, and sent Baili Xi's son Meng Mingshi, Jian Shu's son Xiqishu, and Bai Yibing to lead the troops, and asked them to send troops from outside the east gate.

When Uncle Jian sent the army outside the city gate, he cried and said, "Meng Ming, I watched the army set off, but I couldn't see them coming back!"

Duke Mugong of Qin sent someone to say to Uncle Jian, "What do you know? If your uncle Jian dies within a short period of time, the tree on your grave will be as thick as two hands clasped together."

Uncle Jian's two sons also went out with the army. He cried and said to his two sons: "The people of Jin will definitely fight against our army in Xiaoshan. There are two hills in Xiaoshan. The hilltop in the south is the tomb of Wang Gao of Xia, and the hilltop in the north is the tomb of Wang Gao of Xia. The place where King Wen of Zhou escaped from the wind and rain. You will definitely die in battle between these two mountains. I will collect your bones there."

When Duke Mu of Qin heard about this, he sent someone to rebuke Uncle Jian, saying: "My army went out to war, and I don't know the outcome yet. Now you are crying to see them off. This is mourning for my army."

Uncle Jian replied: "I dare not mourn for the army. I am old and have two sons who have gone with the army. When the army returns, either they will die in battle or I will die of old age. That's why I cry." "
