However, after Gou Jian destroyed Wu, the history of Yue was little known. What happened to Yue on the historical stage after the death of Gou Jian, the King of Yue?
I. Prosperity and development
Gou Jian died in 465 BC and his prince Lu Ying succeeded him. Lu Ying, also known as Yu Yi, is that a Vietnamese name? Take (or read the author's purpose? , that is? He is very much like his father. During his six years as king of Yue, he made great efforts to lead Yue to become a great country, and he died in 458 BC.
The heir to the throne is the prince. The Vietnamese name of Unlongevity is Blind Gu (or pronounced Betsy Gu, which is the slow sound of Blind Gu). From In 457 Bc to 448 BC, he reigned for ten years. If you don't live long, you seem to prefer to be plain. Under his rule, Yue was no longer as aggressive as in Gou Jian's time, but became unknown in other countries. However, the belligerent character of the Vietnamese people, if it does not form a foreign aggression force, will cause domestic instability. In his tenth year as King Yue, the ambitious prince overthrew him in a coup and brutally killed him in the coup. Prince Weng got his wish and became the new King of Yue. The name of the new King of Yue is Weng or Zhu Gou (or Zhou Gou, pronounced in Vietnamese), which is really unusual. He became the most powerful and prominent martial arts king after Gou Jian. Weng led the Vietnamese army to conquer everywhere, expanding the territory of the country to an unprecedented extent. Even Mozi, the Great Sage of the Central Plains, called Yue Wei Weng a "belligerent country", which was enough to share the world with big countries such as Qi, Jin and Chu. In the era of King Weng of Yue, the state of Yue began to compete with Chu for hegemony, and the state of Yue changed from an ally in the past to an opponent of life and death. The State of Yue fought a war with Chu for the Surabaya Valley, and the two sides fought a fierce water war by boat. At the beginning, the state of Yue prevailed, with the state of Yue in the downstream and the state of Chu in the upstream. After the Vietnamese army attacked the Chu army, it could escape quickly with the help of the current. Later, the State of Chu asked the craftsman's grandfather Lu Ban to invent the "hook" and "refusal" for the Chu navy. When the enemy is at a disadvantage, the "hook" can hook the enemy ship to prevent it from escaping; When the enemy is in an advantage, "refusing to stop" can resist the enemy ship and stop its pursuit. With the hook and rejection, the Chu army is invincible. After repeated wars and defeats, Lu Ban designed a siege ladder for Chu, ready to continue to conquer all directions. At this time, Mozi came to Chu and persuaded the king of Chu to give up the war. When the King of Yue heard about it, he admired Mozi very much. He intended to give it to Mozi's hometown of Wu, five hundred miles away, to help him dominate the country, but Mozi politely declined. Later, seeing that Chu could not be defeated westward, King Weng of Yue conquered the north and extended his territory to Shandong. Two Central Plains countries, Tengguo (Tengzhou, Shandong Province) and Tancheng (Tancheng, Shandong Province), were destroyed successively, and the monarch of Tancheng was captured, which made the Central Plains sublime. King Weng of Yue died in 4 1 1 year BC. He reigned for 37 years, and Prince Yi succeeded him. The King of Yue, also known as Buwei or Grant, continued to dominate the Central Plains with its strong military strength. At this time, he targeted Qi. At this time, Tian He, the ruler of Qi, wanted to usurp the throne, so he took the opportunity to point his troops at the vassal state of Qi. With the protection of Qi, Qi is arrogant and rude. Qi was furious, sent troops to attack, wiped it out in one fell swoop, and sent troops to attack the border of Qi. General Qi wants Tian He to counterattack the Vietnamese army. After careful consideration, Tian He thought that Tian Qi was shaky, and replied, "The former king has an imperial decree saying: No offense! The more, the tiger! " Dare not fight head-on with Yue State. Before 386, King An of Zhou officially recognized Tian Ji as a vassal, and the unstable factors were lifted, so Tian Ji began to look to Beijing. In the face of the increasingly powerful attacks of the two great powers of Qi and Chu, Yue felt that maintaining hegemony in the Central Plains was a bit overwhelming. On the other hand, the old aristocrats of the State of Wu, who rejuvenate the country and never die, repeatedly seek revenge and must be guarded against. In addition, Langya is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to transport troops and materials. After careful consideration, the King of Yue was forced to move his capital to Wu (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) in 378 years ago in order to strengthen his control over wuyue. At the same time, Vietnamese in the north began to return to Jiangnan in large numbers and moved to Lingnan. However, Yue did not give up Langya and still regarded it as the northern capital.
Second, infighting and decline.
In his later years, the King of Yue fell into the hands of his younger brother Yu. In order to inherit the throne, he murdered three princes in succession. In the first 375 years, Yu stirred up the King of Yue in an attempt to get rid of the prince's censure, which was rejected by the King of Yue. In July of this year, Zhu Zhu was worried about being murdered, determined to strike first, led an army to drive away Yu, surrounded the palace, launched a palace political movement, killed his father, and became king on his own. But the people of China refused to accept it. In October of this year, he was killed three months after being blamed for the king of Yue, and the country fell into unprecedented civil strife. In the capital of the State of Yue, the old nobles of Wu took the opportunity to establish the son of the wrong branch as the King of Yue and took control of the State of Yue. Seeing many court coups killing people, I didn't want to succeed, so I fled to the cave in Dandi. The ministers who followed him couldn't persuade him for a long time, so they forced him out by smoking. Cuozhi was elected King of Yue, put on the crown, got on the bus carefully and shouted to the sky, "Your throne! Your throne! Still can't give it to me! " After that, he seemed to be trying to escape from the throne. The Vietnamese are unwilling to let the Wu people manipulate the politics of the country. In the first 373 years, he stayed in the area of Doctor Qing Temple in Yue's hometown, led troops to counter-insurgency, killed Yu Yu, and then entered Wu, attacking the old nobles of Wu, deposing the wrong branch, and made Hou (also known as Chu Wuyu) the king of Yue, which was called Mangan in history. Ten years later, in 363 BC, his younger brother Yusi in Temple District killed him and made his younger brother Wu Xu the King of Yue. Since the "resentment against chaos", the tragedy of killing the king and the father was staged in the imperial court, and the nobles of the State of Yue killed each other, which led to political chaos, social unrest and economic retrogression in the State of Yue, and the hegemony created by Zhu Jian, the king of Yue, also declined. So that the Vietnamese couldn't control themselves and let Wu people come forward. At this time, Wu people gradually mastered the politics of Yue State.
Third, extinction and diaspora
In order to get rid of the declining situation, the new biography of King Wu of Yue moved the capital back to the old capital Huiji, but it still failed to stop the decline of Yue. Wu Xu died in 18, and his brother had no strong heir. After Wu Qiang succeeded to the throne, he was very excited and wanted to regain his glory. He set his goal on the state of Qi and made up his mind to raise troops and conquer the Central Plains. Qi Weiwang (the king of horse racing in Tian Ji) sent messengers to dissuade Wu Qiang. The emissary said, "If the State of Yue does not crusade against Chu, it cannot be called a king or a Hou. Probably the reason why Yue did not dare to crusade against Chu was because there was no help from the Three Jin Dynasties (referring to Korea, Zhao and Wei at that time). If Han and Wei follow the state of Yue to attack Chu, they will not only lose their troops, but also their own territory will be threatened. Then, what is the significance of Yue attaching so much importance to the Covenant with Sanjin? " Wu Qiang, King of Yue, said, "I made an alliance with Sanjin, not to let them fight for me. I just hope that Wei will station troops at the gate of Daliang to deter Chu, so that the Chu army will be contained and cannot threaten Yue and the Central Plains countries. Then Qi Xin joined forces to defeat Chu, so that Han and Wei could divide the land without fighting and get food without plowing. Now Han and Wei don't do this, but attack each other between the Yellow River and Huashan, which is used by Qi. I expect Han and Wei to be so miscalculated, how can they be king? " The messenger said, "Fortunately, the state of Yue has not perished! I don't think it's worth using wisdom like rolling your eyes. You can see your hair but not your eyelashes. Today, the king knows the mistakes of Sanjin, but he doesn't know the mistakes of Yue. This is the metaphor I just made with my eyes. The king's expectation for Sanjin is neither to make them work hard nor to form an alliance with the Vietnamese army. He just hoped that they could disperse the troops that surrounded Chu. Now that the soldiers of Chu have dispersed, can the three Jin dynasties be expected? " Wu Qiang, King of Yue, asked, "Why do you say that?" The messenger replied, "Chu has deployed an army of 3,700 Li. Is there anything bigger than this? " Not at such a good time to attack Chu, I know that Yue is too big to be king and too young to be a uncle. In addition, Kan, Pang, Changsha and other places are the grain producing areas of Chu, and Jinglingze area is the wood producing area of Chu. If the state of Yue finds an opportunity to pass the border by fighting, then these four cities will not be able to pay tribute to the capital of Chu. I heard that I wanted to be king, but it didn't come true. At least call me Bo. However, the reason why it can't be called Bo is due to a strategic mistake. Therefore, I hope that the king will transfer troops and attack Chu. "In the state of Qi, the angel was trapped by sweet words, gave up the original plan and rushed to attack Chu. Chu Weiwang, the monarch of Chu, was furious. He set out to attack the State of Yue, and the King of Yue was not strong enough to lead an army against the Chu army. The two sides fought fiercely, and as a result, the Vietnamese army was defeated, and even the king of Yue was killed before the battle. Chu took the opportunity to capture Wudi of Yue State, pushed all the way to Qiantang River, and established Jiangdong County. Wu Qiang, the king of Yue, was suddenly killed, and the state of Yue completely collapsed. The royal family began to kill each other and claimed the title of king. The son of Wu Qiang fled back to the capital and became king, but he could only control the surrounding areas of the capital and could not unify the country. Taking advantage of the fisherman, the State of Chu repelled the forces of Yue to the coastal islands and forced the nobles of Yue to submit. The weak son hoof took the lead in surrendering and was named Ouyang (his descendants later developed into the name Ouyang). From then on, Chu gradually controlled his hometown of Yue. Unwilling to surrender, the Vietnamese had to drift from place to place, moving further south to Taizhou, Wenzhou and Fujian, and some even sailed to Japan and Vietnam. Among them, Betty Wong yaoyu's descendant established Dong 'ou State in Wen Tai in the early Han Dynasty, and another Yue aristocrat established Min-Yue State in Fujian. In the early Han Dynasty, the two countries competed for orthodoxy with each other, and wars continued, which was abolished by the Han court.
