During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan and Jin Wen ruled the world with "faithfulness", while Qin Bochu led the princes with "kingly way". Similar to the State of Qin, Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period was located in the Yangtze River valley, but it belonged to a secluded area in the south of the Central Plains at that time. Although there are thousands of miles of fertile soil and millions of soldiers, they are still not recognized by the governors like Qin. It was not until later that the king of Chu made great efforts to develop comprehensive national strength that Chu gradually raised his head among the princes. Later, during the Chu Zhuangwang period, the national strength reached its peak. Chen Bing Luoyi was awarded the title of Chu Family in Kyushu Historical Records. According to records, in the eighth year of Chu Zhuangwang (606 BC), Chen Bing, a million-strong master of Chu State, watched the battle in Zhoujiang and asked the envoys of the Zhou Emperor about the size of Jiuding. What is Jiuding? Jiuding is the world. The meaning of this move is obvious, as historians say: "It is intended to force Zhou to win the world", which is the origin of the idiom "winning Kyushu". Luoyi and its henchmen Chu Zhuangwang were recognized by the Zhou Emperor, and formally became the dominant vassal. Different from Jin's prose, Qi Jin convinced people with virtue, but with strength. Chu Zhuangwang is the 22nd descendant of Xiong Yi, the ancestor of Chu State, and the 9th king of Chu State. When Chu Zhuangwang ascended the throne, his father, King Chu Mu, left him a modest mess, with constant internal worries and coveted by foreign governors. After the accession to the throne, rebellion broke out between the minister's son Xie and son Yi. In the second year, Cai Guo, a vassal state, was defeated and perished at his home. In the third year, because of the domestic drought and people's poverty, ethnic minorities in four directions also took advantage of the fire to rob and rebel frequently. Three years after Chu Zhuangwang ascended the throne, the people of Chu all thought that he was a promising monarch who could inherit the thoughts of his grandfather Wang Cheng. As a result, Chu Zhuangwang was disappointed inside and outside the court. It turns out that after Chu Zhuangwang acceded to the throne, instead of trying to restore his ancestral business, he indulged in debauchery. What is even more exasperating is that he does not allow ministers to remonstrate, or he will be killed without forgiveness. What Chu Zhuangwang did made Chu very sad, and everyone thought that Chu might be finished. According to the history book "Chu Jiazhi", King Zhuang did not give orders for three years when he ascended the throne, and enjoyed himself day and night, making the whole country say, "Those who dare to remonstrate will die without forgiveness! However, everyone doesn't know that what Chu Zhuangwang did was just an illusion. Chu Zhuangwang, who was eager to revive hegemony in his heart, used a trick of "playing the fool", which not only fooled his foreign enemies, but also fooled the officials and people of Chu. It took him three years to explore the road to the revival of Chu, and found out every move of the powerful enemy at home and abroad. During his three years in Chu Zhuangwang, Minister Wu Ju risked his life to advise and persuade Chu Zhuangwang to deal with state affairs. As a result, Zhuang Wang just talked a lot, without any practical action. Later, the doctor Su Cong couldn't sit still, so he went to the palace to remonstrate. After detailed discussion, he realized Zhuang Wang's real intention. From then on, Chu Zhuangwang changed his former image, beheaded treacherous court officials, suppressed the ruling party, appointed talents and handled state affairs. In the sixth year, King Zhuang eliminated domestic troubles and foreign invasion, defeated his close enemy, Song State, and officially opened the road to revival. If you are not famous for three years, you will fly into the sky; If you don't sing for three years, you will be very powerful. -"Historical Records of Chu Family" occupied Chu Zhuangwang in the Central Plains for eight years. In the name of the king of Qin, he led an army to attack Hunrong in the north, with hundreds of thousands of troops in Chen Bing and Luoshui. The royal family of Zhou sent someone to see the old gentleman and asked how old the messenger Jiuding was. How much does it weigh? I already have the idea of being king and dominating, and even have the ambition to replace the Zhou royal family. Later, Wang followed the advice and returned to the south with a great army. This time, although he didn't really realize his ambition to win the world, he basically established his prestige among the princes in the world and the Zhou royal family, and became the overlord of the Central Plains and the "head of the princes". After returning to China for more than ten years, Chu Zhuangwang has successively eliminated Chen Guo, Shu and other small and medium-sized vassal states, with a territory stretching for thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, making the country rich and strong. It is the general trend to fight against Jin, the overlord of the old Central Plains. Two tigers are not allowed in one mountain. In the 15th year of Chu Zhuangwang, the horn of Chu Jin's "Battle against the North" was officially sounded. As a result, the Chu army was defeated, and Jin Chu's first battle ended in Chu's defeat. In the seventeenth year of King Zhuang, after a rest, Chu made a comeback. First, it defeated Zheng, a subsidiary of the State of Jin, and then defeated the reinforcements of the State of Jin in the Battle of Tai. The State of Jin was greatly weakened, and all the small countries attached to it left the State of Jin and returned to the State of Chu. The strength of Chu has greatly increased, and Chu Zhuangwang has become a new "c-c", which is world-famous! What can he do? Chu Zhuangwang, the leader of the governors, can dominate the governors of the Central Plains in a short time, which can not be separated from three points: the superior geographical position of Chu and the unique natural environment. At that time, Fiona Fang and Wan Li of Chu State were irrigated with natural water from the Yangtze River. It is no exaggeration to say that it is fertile soil. In feudal slavery society, agriculture is the foundation of development. Chu can have such a good natural environment, so why worry about whether the people are rich or not? Moreover, Chu has a great geographical advantage, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Except for the strong enemy in the north, the rest of the eastern and southern regions could not pose much threat at that time, and they had no worries. Second, "Chu has had wise kings throughout the ages. "Chu has laid a good foundation under the vigorous development and rectification of Wang Cheng, the seventh king of Chu. The eighth generation of King Chu Mu was not a great monarch, but during his reign, a series of military actions such as conquest and crusade also expanded his strength. Although Chu Zhuangwang had internal troubles and foreign invasion after he acceded to the throne, the fundamentals of the country have not changed at all, and the foundation is still there, and it has not plummeted and is vulnerable. In fact, the real decline was in the decades after Chu Zhuangwang's death, when the State of Jin overwhelmed and gained the upper hand. Third, Chu Zhuangwang's outstanding ability. During the reign of King Zhuang, it was inseparable from Chu Zhuangwang's superb political means and lofty aspirations to appoint talents and actively develop and train the army. In addition, Chu Zhuangwang attached great importance to the rule of law during his administration. " Everything is Ready by Everything is Everything done by Han Feizi. The foreign reserve said that "Top Right" recorded the story that the king of Chu was blamed by Li Ting for breaking the law. After knowing this, King Zhuang not only didn't blame Li Ting, but rewarded him, and warned the prince not to try the law by himself. This is one of the models of governing the country according to law. With such a monarch, such a minister and such a national, it is difficult for Chu to dominate! The article "Spring and Autumn Five Sons" has come to an end. Qi Huangong, Jin Wengong, Qin Mugong and Chu Zhuangwang use either "benevolence" or "hegemony". In addition to the indispensable strong national strength, the rest are their outstanding political talents and the spirit of struggle of the monarch and the minister, which finally complement each other and shine brilliantly in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period. Today, people still respect it, not to mention the ancients! In the upper right, the documents Historical Records of Chu Family and Han Feizi's Theory of Foreign Storage are cited.
