I have Futian in my heart

After seizing the copper mines such as Tonglushan, and then going up the Han River, sweeping away the remnants of the Chu people all the way, and finally joined the army of King Xuan and Zheng Xiaoming in Zeng State more than two months later.

After this big victory, King Xuan held a high-level wine meeting here, and he was very proud.

Soon after, he personally led such a powerful army to go down the Yangtze River to conquer Huaiyi.

When Huaiyi heard that the people of Chu had been defeated, the king of Zhou personally led the army to attack. He was very terrified and sent people to plead guilty. The new king of the country.

Following the capture of a large number of Xu State prisoners of war, cloth, ore, pearl shells and other treasures, they have just returned to Chengzhou.And in Chengzhou, he accepted the pilgrimage and contribution of the princes of the eastern countries, and then returned to Zongzhou.

At this time, King Xuan's achievements in his life had reached the peak, and it seemed that Da Zhou had returned to its heyday, when all nations came to court.There is no rival in the world.

However, in the days that followed, King Xuan gradually became extravagant and licentious, and began to boss around all the countries under his command, and even killed the royal court ministers indiscriminately.Arbitrarily intervening in the abolition of the Lu Kingdom and other matters, the princes of the world complained.

Of course, according to Zheng Xiaoming's point of view, it was mainly because King Xuan strengthened the power of the Emperor Zhou, and his control over the states became more and more strict.

These measures dissatisfied the princes everywhere.

In particular, King Xuan's continuous expansion of the royal family's territory in Shanxi had a falling out with Xirong again.

All the land between Cheng Zhou and Zong Zhou, as well as the surrounding land, was divided.Let the royal family directly control less and less land!
King Xuan is a promising monarch, so naturally he will not sit back and watch this kind of thing continue to develop.

He jumped out of the traditional territory of the Central Plains, vigorously developed the territory directly under the royal family in Shanxi, and expanded the territory.However, this violated the interests of all countries in Xirong.

In particular, Jiang Rong in the West fell out with King Xuan again, and the two sides met again in battle.

This time, King Xuan didn't even spare the Xishen Kingdom, and sent a large army to punish the Xishen Kingdom, breaking through the capital of the Xishen Kingdom.

However, the Xishen Kingdom (not the Shen Kingdom where King Xuan’s uncle Shen Bo was named, that is the Dongshen Kingdom.) is a branch of Jiang Rong... As I said before, Jiang Rong has always been a traditional ally of the Great Zhou.

Among the countries in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qi State, Lu State, Shen State, Xu State, etc., all came from Jiang Rong, a vassal state with the surname Jiang.

King Xuan defeated Xishen, but he didn't want Jiang Rong to send troops to rescue Xishen.In a battle between the two sides in Qianmu, the Zhou division was defeated, and almost all the soldiers and horses under its command were wiped out. If it was not for the cover of the dying father, King Xuan almost died on the battlefield.

After this thousand-acre battle, King Xuan fell into a slump and soon fell ill. Before he died, he made the crown prince Ji Gongni the new emperor.

This new emperor is the famous King You!
As the uncle of King Zhou You, and also the nobleman closest to Da Chu and the Son of Heaven, Zheng Bo, Zheng Bo, was ordered by King Xuan to assist King You of Zuo and serve as King You's situ.

Situ is one of the three princes, in charge of land and household registration throughout the country.

So Zheng Xiaoming left Zheng Guo and went to Zong Zhou.

It is normal for the kings and princes of princes and princes to serve as ministers in the Zhou royal family.

Zheng Xiaoming has many achievements in the position of Situ, and has won the favor of Zhou Min.The people of Zhou made the song "Black Clothes" for Zheng Xiaoming to praise and sing.

But obviously, although King You respected Zheng Xiaoming, his uncle, he was not close.He has his own trusted ministers, so he is not comfortable in front of an elder like Zheng Xiaoming.

Although later generations often say that King You is fatuous, it is actually not the case. In fact, King You inherited the national policy of King Xuan to continue to strengthen the royal family.

And this national policy is inherited from the era of King Li!

Youwang continued to develop the royal family's private land in Shanxi for a generation, and the relationship with Jiang Rong, a traditional ally, further deteriorated.

To be honest, fighting and peace between the royal family and Jiang Rong this week is already the norm.

Even if King Xuan was defeated by Jiang Rong in Qianmu, the relationship between the two parties was not completely broken.

King You's prince is still Jiang Rong's man, but the Queen of Shen who was born as Princess Shen.

However, King You's actions completely fell out with Jiang Rong, and even abolished the empress Shen, and made Baosi, who was born in Baoguo, the queen. The born Ji Bo served as the new prince.

This move is undoubtedly a complete turn against Jiang Rong.He also completely turned against Naxi Shenuo.

King You sent troops to attack Xishen, but was defeated by the combined forces of Xishen and Jiang Rong at the foot of Mount Li.Copying his father Xuan Wang's defeat of a thousand acres!

In history, Zheng Boyou and King You sent troops together, and they came to the foot of Lishan Mountain.

But this time and space is Zheng Boming, of course he would not be stupid to send troops with You Wang, but stayed in Zong Zhou.

King You and his ministers died in battle under Mount Li one after another, and Zheng Xiaoming took the opportunity to control the situation in Zong Zhou.While negotiating with Xirong Shenguo, he deployed defenses and defeated the attack of the Xirong army.

The two parties finally reached an agreement that the prince Ji Yijiu, born after Lishen, would be the new emperor, and the royal family would no longer expand its private territory to Shanxi in the future.

Only then did Shen Guo and Xi Rong retreat, and all the power of the Zhou royal family fell into Zheng Xiaoming's control.

However, at this time, the princes of the eastern countries such as Dongdong Shen, Guo, and Jin took the opportunity to make troubles, and wanted to take Ji Bofu, born to Baosi, to Luoyang and make him the new king.

However, Zheng Xiaoming thwarted the plot and imprisoned Ji Bofu.And sent troops to question Baoguo, Baoguo surrendered.

At this time, after twenty or thirty years of development.Especially after the defeat of the Chu State, the Zheng State developed greatly, annexing all the lands of the former Chu State, and during the years when Situ was in power, he threatened to control the concubines of Hanyang by virtue of his great power.

The current state of Zheng is not weaker than the state of Chu in the past.

This time, he took advantage of Baoguo's accusation and took control of Baoguo.Let Zheng Guo's forces reach the upper reaches along the Yangtze River and the Han River.Let Zheng's territory border Zong Zhou.

A few years later, Zheng Xiaoming led an army in the name of King Zhou, entered Sichuan, conquered the Kingdom of Shu, and occupied the land of Shu.

A few years later, Zhou and Wang Ji Yijiu died of illness and had no children. Zheng Xiaoming proclaimed himself emperor.Establishing the Xiaozong and inheriting the Dazong caused a great uproar among the eastern vassal states.

Especially those countries with vassals surnamed Ji and royal families with huge influence are particularly dissatisfied, such as Jin State, Guo State, Dongshen State and so on.They clamored to organize coalition forces, conquer Zheng Xiaoming and so on.

However, Zheng Xiaoming won the support of Xishen Kingdom and Jiang Rong.The reason is simple, they would rather see Zheng Xiaoming succeed to the throne than Ji Bofu, born of Bao Si, to inherit the throne of Zhou Tianzi.

In addition, Zheng Xiaoming successfully wooed Western countries, such as Qin, Bi, Cheng and so on.The situation in Kansai was stabilized.

And the coalition forces of Xirong and Xishen defeated the army of Jin who came to declare King Qin.

Zheng Xiaoming's own army defeated the armies of the Eastern princes and punished a large number of rebellious countries.Depose its monarch, establish a new monarch, and reduce fiefs and so on.

The authority of the Zhou family was revived again, and the princes obediently followed Zhou again.
