Faced with such great achievements, many people can't help asking, who has contributed the most to Qi Huangong's success? Or, in this history, who is the most indispensable, Guan Zhong or Bao?
According to the traditional concept, nature is the most indispensable part of Guan Zhong, because it is precisely because of Guan Zhong's full assistance that Qi Huangong can achieve this hegemony; However, some people say that Bao is the most indispensable person, because without Bao's recommendation, Guan Zhong would have been killed by the sword, so how could he have the opportunity to assist him?
Of course, some people say that Qi Huangong is the most indispensable, because he is the actual ruler of Qi, and it was he who reused Guan Zhong that led to the later Jiuhe princes.
Objectively speaking, a similar statement is not unreasonable, but in my opinion, in Qi? Nine princes, conquer the world? Guan Zhong and Bao are not indispensable. In other words, even without Guan Zhong and Bao, Qi can still achieve such hegemony.
Why do you say that?
First of all, the so-called? Nine princes, conquer the world? The essence is that the country has enough strength to call a meeting of the princes of the world at any time, and at the same time you can clean up who refuses to accept you. Otherwise, why should other countries listen to you, or even face your instructions, others will point to your nose and say, who are you?
What's more, someone punched you with blood all over your face. In a word, who are you to tell others what to do every day? What a pity! What should you do about this fact? So, do you want to achieve it? Nine princes, conquer the world? The prerequisite of hegemonic goal must be that the country has enough strength to shock the world.
In this sense, can Qi Huangong fight? Nine princes, conquer the world? Mainly because Qi has enough strength to shock the world, otherwise he dares to play like this, that is, he has not found the rhythm of smoking.
Next, we are faced with a new question, that is, does Qi have enough strength to shock the world, mainly because of Guan Zhong, Bao and others? The answer is obviously no.
As early as the early establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qi was the overlord of the East, which was clearly acknowledged by the Zhou Emperor. Say: East to the sea, west to the river, south to Muling, north to Wudi, five princes and nine uncles, it is really necessary to levy. ? Why did Zhou do this? Because the founding monarch of Qi was Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya was a teacher and father-in-law.
For similar reasons, after the Spring and Autumn Period kicked off, Qi said it was the second strongest country in the world, but no country really dared to say it was the first. In this sense, Qin, Jin and Chu have become one of the world's top four after a hundred years of promotion, while Qi almost entered the world's top four lying down.
According to historical records, when Zhou Youwang was killed and Zhou Pingwang moved eastward, the monarch of Qi was Qi Zhuanggong. At the beginning of Qi Zhuanggong's accession to the throne, the court of Qi was also faced with turmoil and was forced to move the capital twice. However, the policy of recuperation was formulated in the metric system of Qi Zhuang, which made Qi recover quickly.
Qi Zhuanggong reigned for sixty-four years, Qi Xigong reigned for thirty-three years, and two long-lived monarchs reigned for ninety-seven years, which managed Qi in good order at home and abroad. This period is also called. Wei Zhaung minibus? .
During this century-long recuperation, Qi was not only the first overlord in the world, but also accumulated a lot of wealth, which was enough to support its continuous external expansion.
Therefore, after Qi Huangong Xi, an ambitious monarch appeared in Qi. His name is Pearl, and his history is Qi Xianggong. During the reign of Qi Xianggong, the major client countries were afraid to speak.
For example, the monarch of Lu died in Qi, and it is said that he was murdered, but Lu can only dare to be angry and dare not speak. More importantly, after the death of Lu Guojun, the new Lu Guojun turned out to be his sister's son!
For example, Zheng He, who had some historical grievances, didn't want to attend the meeting, but he was afraid of being provoked and had to bite the bullet and attend the meeting. As a result, Zheng was killed on the spot at the governors' meeting.
We should know that Lu and Zheng were both big countries that could rank in the top ten at that time, but they were helpless in front of Qi, which shows the strength of Qi at that time.
In a sense, big countries like Lu and Zheng are afraid to speak out in the face of Qi's interference in internal affairs, let alone other small countries. In this context, Qi quickly annexed four small countries around it, namely Ji, Han, Tan and Qian.
After Qi Xianggong's death, his younger brother and son Xiao Bai succeeded to the throne. Childe White is Qi Huangong. For Qi Huangong, he took over the hegemony of such a powerful country in the world. With a little effort, he can naturally become the most dazzling superstar of that era.
At the same time, Qin has not unified Guanzhong; The State of Jin has not yet unified the south of Shanxi, and no one can compete with the State of Qi for the hegemony of the Central Plains. Although Chu has risen and begun to look at the Central Plains, its influence is limited after all. In this context, there is almost no suspense for Qi to dominate the Central Plains.
Therefore, whether it is Guan Zhong or Bao, it is not so much that they have created the modern people of Qi, but that they are lucky, just in this era that can create brilliance.
Just imagine, if Qi Huangong is put in the position of Qi Zhuanggong, Qi Huangong and Qi Xianggong, even if he works hard and has Guan Zhong and Bao as assistants, does he want to achieve it? Nine princes, conquer the world? I'm afraid it will be difficult;
Similarly, if you are in an era when Jin, Qin and Chu are the three pillars, even if he makes great efforts to govern the country and has Guan Zhong and Bao as assistants, does he want to achieve it? Nine princes, conquer the world? I'm afraid it will be more difficult.
