It was a cold, windy winter. Archaeologists came to Dabaozi Mountain in Lixian County, Gansu Province, to unveil the mystery of the Qin Cemetery. The relics of the ancestors of the Qin State before King Qin Huiwen appeared in front of the world. The lifelike Xuanniao, dark black clothing fragments and buried chariots and horses** reproduce the majestic power of the old Qin people. I still sing "Jian Jia", but now only "No Clothes" remains.
Although the monarch of Qin, who once dominated the western border, has become a white bone under the loess, they still have not forgotten their country. In their tombs, in addition to their concubines and close ministers, there is also a gift, that is, Qin Gongding. The surviving treasures in the Shanghai Museum tell us that the history of the Qin State was to attack the army, the Donghu and protect our rivers and mountains.
In the previous article, we talked about the sacrifice of Qin Xianggong on the way to conquer the mountain army. After his death, his son raised the banner of the conquest of the mountain army. The young man finally won. He controlled these mountain armies in the western part of the Qin state. Since then, the Mountain Army has had a new name: the Western Army. In this way, some of our ancestors of the Chaoyang people began a new branch.
Although he was defeated by Qin Xianggong's father and son, Xirong was not discouraged, but kept looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Zhou Tianzi. Soon, King Xiang of Zhou became the new target of the Xirong people. Seeing that the Xirong army came to Luoyi, King Xiang of Zhou was so frightened that he ran to Zheng Guo and returned to Luoyi with the help of Zheng Guojun. However, the king of Zhou Xiang, who returned to Luoyi, took revenge and regarded Zheng Guo as a target of crusade, and the sleepy king of Zhou Xiang married a woman from Xirong as a concubine to show his sincerity in making peace with Xirong. However, what King Xiang of Zhou never expected was that this time he did not clear his external troubles, but instead caused the internal strife of the Eastern Zhou royal family, that is, the rebellion of the sub-belt.
King Xiang of Zhou could also escape with his life, but the people of the Central Plains could not. After the Xirong army entered the Central Plains, it began to burn, kill and loot. Kyushu is full of orphans and widows. Fortunately, Duke Wen of Jin, who had just arrived in place, expelled Xirong in order to save the crisis in the Central Plains. At that time, Qin Mugong, who had friendly relations with the Duke of Jin Wen, established an alliance with the Xirong chieftain in the form of a ceremonial man, and won the respect of some Xirong people.
China's attitude towards other ethnic groups has always been dominated by Sinicization, with attacks dominating on the march and in war. Cities and reduced cities are very unlucky for us Chinese. In ancient times, China's active ethnic minorities did not like to kill indiscriminately because of their lack of cheap labor and fertile women. This is destined for time, wartime peace between our ancestors of the Chaoyang people and the traditional Han people.
For example, King Yiqu of Xirong, a minority leader who was active in the Warring States policy, collaborated with other countries for almost his entire life in an attempt to destroy the Qin state. Because before the Empress Dowager Xuan, the ancestors of the Qin State saw the Yiqu people coming to grab things, and their first reaction was to beat them. How can a cold north wind be completely convincing? If you want to completely corrupt a man's fighting spirit, then there is only the love of a woman like a warm sun. After Empress Dowager Xuan ascended the throne, she adopted a beauty strategy, and as a result, King Yiqu stopped rebelling for 20 years, and was finally booby-trapped. The Qin people won another victory on the road to dealing with Xirong, but they only wronged the Empress Dowager Xuan.
Xirong temporarily withdrew from the stage of history, but the Han people of the Central Plains were not proud for too long. They sent Xirong away, and they ushered in Donghu. Compared to the Xirong people, the Donghu people are very intelligent. They are not fighting to destroy the country, but to rob things. Sometimes they were even willing to take the initiative to teach cavalry tactics to nearby countries. For example, King Wuling of Zhao had learned advanced cavalry tactics from the Donghu people at that time.
Donghu also began to fight against Qin after the vassal states such as Yan and Qin officially tore their faces. Of course, the Donghu people and their old rivals, the Yan people, did not stop the war. At the end of the Warring States Period, Qin Kai, the general of the Yan State, came to Donghu to do fine work, which is clearly recorded in the "Historical Records". Qin Kai's descendant, Qin Wuyang, also came to Qin to assassinate Qin Wang Yingzheng. Liaoxi County, the predecessor of Liaoning Province, was established by the Yan State to resist the Donghu people. After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, the Donghu people began to be internal**, and different small tribes also had their own names. One of the most powerful in history was named the Xiongnu. At the same time, Great Qin had just completed the great cause of unifying the world, turning from a country into a dynasty.
Guanzhong has been an emperor since ancient times" admiring Qin Gongding again, my heart suddenly swelled with respect for the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty. It is true that they are rivals with the ancestors of our Chaoyang people, but we have to admit that almost every one of them can be called a man. After thousands of years of ethnic integration, who of us can distinguish our identities? Now, we have only one identity, and that is Chinese.
