Chapter 5 Qin's Revenge

In the first year of Jin Xianggong's accession to the throne, that is, in 627 BC, three wars occurred in Jin.In the Battle of Confucianism in summer, the Jin army took the initiative to attack and defeated the Qin army; in the Battle of Ji in autumn, the Jin army defended the country and defeated the invasion of the Di people; Chufu used his cleverness to play tricks on the people of Chu State, which indirectly led to the killing of Yin Doubo, the order of Chu State. It can be said that he won without a fight. Victory in three battles a year has doubled the confidence of the government and the people of Jin. Compared with Jin Wengong's era, Jin's hegemony is even worse.

In 626 BC, the young Duke Xiang of Jin launched a foreign war again, this time targeting the state of Wei in the east, on the grounds that Duke Cheng of Wei would not come to see the state of Jin.When the army of the Jin State came to Nanyang, Xianju suggested to Duke Xiang of Jin, "The Marquis of Wei will not come to pay pilgrimage to you, so we will attack him. Now the Son of Heaven lives in Wendi. If you don't go to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, you will learn from the Marquis of Wei. How can you criticize others if you can’t do well yourself? Please go to Wendi to pay homage to the emperor, and leave the war to the subordinates.”

Duke Xiang of Jin followed his advice and changed his way to Wendi to greet King Xiang of Zhou.Xianqieju, Xu Chenjiuji and others led the army to continue the crusade against the state of Wei, occupied the land of Qi, and captured Sun Zhaozi, a doctor of the state of Wei. Due to the critical situation of the war, Duke Cheng of Wei sent people to the state of Chen to ask for help.This approach is very strange. Firstly, the state of Chen is weak and unable to compete with the state of Jin;To use an inappropriate analogy, it is as unreliable as sending people to Vietnam for help when Cuba was invaded by the United States.But if you think about it carefully, the Wei people actually have a deep meaning in doing this: Chen Guo is the younger brother of Chu State (and of course the younger brother of Jin State), if Chen State is involved in the Jin-Wei War, Chu State will definitely not Standing on the sidelines, as long as Chu State takes action, Jin State will have to focus its energy on the south, and Wei State will be saved.

Chen Gonggong received the distress letter from Wei Chenggong, discussed with several ministers behind closed doors for a long time, and replied to the emissary: ​​"We have studied it, and we can't quench your thirst in the distance, so we won't send troops to your country to help you fight the war, but We can give your country a good idea, which is more effective than sending troops, as to whether you listen or not, that is your business." "Listen well," said Chen Gonggong next, "Please turn your country against Jin, and I will mediate from it." The envoy was dumbfounded when he heard this. What's the idea?This is like a doctor telling a patient that you have a severe disease that is not suitable for strenuous exercise, but if you can run 800 meters in one breath, the disease will be cured without treatment.

He went to the doctor in a hurry.Wei Chenggong received this strong medicine from Mr. Chen, but he didn't think too much about it. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and drank it - he sent the doctor Kong Da to lead the army to crusade against Jin.The result can be imagined, the Wei people were beaten all over the place. If Qin State hadn't launched an attack on Jin State at this time and transferred the main force of the Jin army to the west, the people of Wei State would not be looking for teeth everywhere, but would be torn apart by the people of Jin State. After the Confusion War, Meng Mingshi and the other three were released and returned to China.Qin's military laws were extremely strict, and defeated generals often received the death penalty.All the officials of Qin State and Qin Mugong's left and right cronies all advocated that Meng Mingshi's leadership should be held accountable. Naturally, some people suggested that the three should be sentenced to death.But Qin Mugong ignored these voices, and instead took all the responsibility for the defeat on himself, saying: "Please stop talking, everyone, this matter cannot be blamed on them, it is entirely the responsibility of the widow."

He also recited a few poems in front of his ministers: "The wind has a tunnel, greedy people and scum, listen to the words and be right, recite the words like a drunk, the bandits use their good ones, and let me rebel." Tunnel is the road.These poems can be found in the chapter "Sang Rou" in "The Book of Songs Daya". Things, where they pass are like paths. "The so-called greedy scum," Qin Mugong said, "it's about people like me! Because I'm not greedy, I've been blamed by the heavens. What crime is Meng Mingshi guilty of?" After hearing what he said, everyone didn't dare to express any opinions.Meng Mingshi was so moved that he and Xiqishu devoted all their energies to their work, made great efforts to develop production and reorganize their military equipment, which quickly restored Qin's vitality.In the spring of 625 B.C., Meng Mingshi led an army across the Yellow River to crusade against Jin.At this time, it was only more than a year since the Battle of Confucianism in the summer of 627 BC.

When Duke Xiang of Jin learned of the invasion of the Qin army, he quickly recalled the troops attacking the state of Wei and went all out to meet the Qin army.Xian Qieju was still the Marshal of the Chinese Army, Zhao Shuai was the Deputy Marshal of the Chinese Army, Wang Guanwu was the driver of Jin Xianggong's military chariot, and Xu Jianbo was the escort of the military chariot. The two sides fought in Pengya, known as Peng Yazhi in history war.The God of War still favored the Jin people, and the Qin army was defeated again. A little man named Shen played an important role in this war and made the first contribution to the victory of the Jin army.

According to "Zuo Zhuan", during the Battle of Confucianism, Duke Xiang of Jin appointed Liang Hong as the driver of the army chariot and Laiju as the guard.The Qin army was defeated, Qin general Baomanzi was captured, Jin Xianggong ordered Laiju to kill Baomanzi with a spear.Baomanzi was a famous warrior at that time, his hands and feet were firmly bound, but his power still remained. He stared at Laiju and yelled loudly. Laiju was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp, he couldn't even hold his spear steadily, and fell to the ground. It's really shameful that the dignified third rank of Yuqian was waiting for the guard with a sword, and was frightened out of his wits by a prisoner.At that time, Lang Shuang was a small soldier guarding the flag. When he saw this situation, he didn't think too much about it. He rushed forward, picked up Laiju's long dagger, dropped it with his hand, and dropped Baomanzi's head cleanly. cut down.Because of this incident, Lang Su was appreciated by Duke Xiang of Jin, and replaced Lai Ju as Duke Xiang's chariot guard.

However, in the same year when the state of Jin and the people of Di were fighting in Ji, Marshal Xian Zhen of the Chinese army for some unknown reason abandoned the wolf, and appointed Xu Jianbo as the military chariot guard of Duke Xiang of Jin.Perhaps in Xian Zhen's view, beheading a prisoner with his hands and feet tied does not reflect the general's ability; moreover, as a flag guard, Lang Su left his post to kill a prisoner without authorization, which is clearly opportunistic.Wolf Shuang was deeply ashamed by this incident and was extremely annoyed.His friend said: "Why don't you wash away your shame by dying?" Lang Fu said: "I still can't think of a way to die!"

"If you want to kill Xian Zhen for revenge, I will help you." Honor is the life of a "scholar". In the eyes of people at that time, if a "scholar"'s honor was damaged, he should resolutely take revenge on the person who caused the damage, otherwise he would be regarded as cowardly.But Lang Shuang had better considerations. He said to his friend: "I read in the book that although it is courageous to commit crimes against superiors, it is not an act of justice. Die for this is not considered brave. True bravery is for the country. Sacrifice without fear. Just wait and see!"

In the battle of Pengya, the Qin army came aggressively, and the Jin army stood ready.Lang Su led a small army to attack the Qin army, charged bravely, and was invincible.Encouraged by them, the Jin army followed them to expand the results of the battle, and finally defeated the Qin army, but Lang Su also died in this battle, practicing the creed of "a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated" with his life. "Zuo Zhuan" has a high evaluation of Lang Shuang, and uses such poems as "a gentleman is like anger, and the chaotic Shun (chuan) is frustrated" and "Wang Hesi is angry, and he organizes his journey" to describe him, which means that he is angry. Not chaotic, venting your anger on the enemy should be greatly praised.Lang Fong was originally just a small soldier, and he was able to reflect such a high level on the issue of right and wrong. From one aspect, it shows that Jin Wengong's policy of "teaching his people" has indeed received good results. The battle of Peng Ya made the Qin people laugh at the Jin people.In retrospect, when Meng Mingshi and others were released from the state of Jin and returned to China, they said to Chufu Yang on the boat on the Yellow River, "I will worship the king for three years".As a result, Qin was defeated again this time, and the people of Jin used this to ridicule the people of Qin, calling the Qin army "the teacher who worshiped". Meng Mingshi once again returned to Qin State in despair as a general of the defeated army. When Qin Mugong saw him, he didn't say a word of reproach. He just patted him on the shoulder and said four words: "Keep working hard." After successive military defeats, Qin State was in a strange mood.This kind of mood is not depression or impatience, but a kind of mood that is full of energy and will not give up until it reaches its goal. Meng Mingshi looked more and more mature.He devoted himself to the work of "enhancing state affairs" with 120% enthusiasm, and devoted himself to seeking welfare for the people and enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army.Zhao Shuan of the Jin State said to his colleagues with emotion: "If the Qin army comes to seek revenge again, we'd better avoid it. Meng Mingshi failed repeatedly, but after returning he was calm and focused on repairing internal affairs. It is bound to be unstoppable." Zhao Shuai also recited a poem to praise Meng Mingshi: "Don't recite your ancestors, Yu (yu) cultivate Jue De." Then it should be described and cultivated to show it. Successive military victories made the Jin people's arrogance continue to grow.After the Battle of Peng Ya, Duke Jin Xiang sent envoys to the State of Lu to reprimand Duke Wen of Lu, saying, "You have been on the throne for so long, but you have never come to pay homage to the Marquis of Jin. What are your plans?" Duke Wen of Lu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly set off for a pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Jin, but he didn't even see Duke Xiang of Jin.The state of Jin only sent Chufu Yang to come forward to talk with him.The official historian of the State of Lu felt very ashamed. In the "Spring and Autumn Annals", there were only five words "Jin Chufu League", without a beginning and an end, and blocked the matter of Duke Wen of Lu's going to the State of Jin. In the summer of the same year, under the leadership of Sikong Shigu of the Jin Kingdom, the princes of Lu, Song, Chen, Zheng and other countries were convened to meet in Chuilong to discuss the crusade against the Kingdom of Wei.Song Chenggong, Chen Gonggong, and Zheng Mugong went to the meeting in person, and Lu Guo sent Gongsun Ao as a representative to attend. Sikong of the Jin State has not yet been included in the scope of "Qing", and can only be counted as a middle-level noble.The state of Jin convened an alliance of princes, but neither the Marquis of Jin nor the Qing came forward, but sent Sikong as the plenipotentiary representative, which really despises the princes of the world. At the Chuilong League, Chen Gonggong fulfilled his promise and interceded for the state of Wei in front of the people of Jin.He asked Wei Chenggong to arrest Kong Da and send him to Jin as a scapegoat. He said to Jin Xianggong: "Wei State does not know the heights of heaven and earth, and dares to invade Jin State. Duke Xiang of Jin accepted this reason, imprisoned Kong Da, and withdrew the order to attack Weiguo. In the winter of 625 BC, the Jin State gathered the troops of Song, Chen, Zheng and other countries to crusade against Qin State, and returned to the army after capturing Qin State's Wang land. In the spring of 624 BC, the Jin State united with Lu, Song, Chen, Wei, Zheng and other states to crusade against Shen State, a vassal of Chu State.Shen Guo was defeated. Defeating Diyi in the north, defeating the strong Qin in the west, conquering Lu and Wei in the east, and destroying Shen in the south, since Jin Xianggong came to power, a series of military victories made him a dazzling new star on the historical stage.At that time, the invincibility of the Jin army seemed to be a fact recognized by all countries in the world. The hegemony of the Jin country was like the Chinese stock market in 2007 AD. In the summer of this year, the people of Qin went against the trend and once again launched a revenge offensive against Jin. This time, Qin Mugong went out in person.After the Qin army crossed the Yellow River, he ordered the ferry to be burned and cut off his own way, to show his determination to succeed or be benevolent. All the soldiers silently carried out this order.There was no consternation, no objection.Maybe everyone thinks the same as him, if they can't beat the Jin people this time, no one will be ashamed to go back to Qin to embrace their wives and children. The first chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "If the people agree with their superiors, they can die with them, and they can live with them. The people are not cunning." If this is done, the subordinates can go through life and death for the master without feeling dissatisfied.Qin Mugong did this. The Qin army was so powerful that it quickly captured the Wangguan (place name) of the Jin State and hit the suburbs (place name).The Jin people adopted Zhao Shuai's strategy to fortify the wall and clear the field, avoiding its edge, and could not defend it. The Qin army swaggered on the land of Jin for more than a month, while the people of Jin stayed calmly in their castles, willing to shrink their heads and resolutely refused to fight.Under such circumstances, Qin Mugong crossed the Yellow River from Maojin, went to Mount Miu to collect the bones of the fallen soldiers, and held a grand memorial ceremony. After three years, the remains of the soldiers of the Qin Army in Confused Mountain had turned into pale bones.Qin Mugong cried for three days, then called all the soldiers to parade and delivered the famous "Miaoshan Speech".He said: "Sigh, soldier! Listen, there is no uproar, and I swear to tell you. If the ancients conspired, if Huang Fa turned around, there would be nothing wrong." Translated into modern text: "Hey, all the soldiers, listen clearly. Don't make noise. I'm here to share with you. When you encounter problems, you must be like the ancients and follow the advice of the elders, so that you will not make mistakes!" Criticize yourself for not listening to Jian Shu's words back then, so you suffered a failure. "Zuo Zhuan" commented that Qin Mugong is a true leader, who considers people carefully, does not deny a person because of a failure, employs people without doubt, and trusts them exclusively. Therefore, Meng Mingshi can do his best as a minister, Always unremitting, fearful and thinking about moral governance. Meng Mingshi is the son of Baili Xi.Gongsun Zhi recommended Baili Xi among his servants. Later generations explained that this was "getting the second generation of sages in one fell swoop", so "Zuo Zhuan" attributed Meng Mingshi's success to Gongsun Zhi. After washing away the shame of two defeats, the Qin army returned to the court.This time the military conflict between Qin and Jin was known as the Battle of the Royal Officials in history. The Qin State achieved limited military victories, but the Jin State judged the situation and avoided expanding the conflict in time.Therefore, from a purely military point of view, this campaign was lackluster and not enjoyable enough; but from an overall point of view, it had a profound impact on both Qin and Jin. The battle of the kings and officials hit the arrogance of the Jin people to a large extent. They began to reflect on their overbearing foreign policies over the years and put them into practical actions to improve their relations with the Central Plains countries. In the winter of 624 BC, less than half a year after the Qin people withdrew, Jin took the initiative to express its apology to Lu and warmly invited Lu Wengong to visit Jin again. The memory of the humiliation suffered by Duke Lu Wen during his last visit to Jin has not completely faded.But after receiving the invitation from Jin State, Lu Wengong still ignored the previous suspicions and came to Jin State with humiliation. This time he not only met Jin Xianggong, but also received a very grand reception from Jin Xianggong.At the welcome banquet, Duke Xiang of Jin was so excited that he recited a poem "Jingjing Zhee" while shaking his head to add to the fun. "Jingjing Zhee" can be found in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya", in which there is a sentence "When you see a gentleman, you are happy and have a good manner". Jin Xianggong used this to compare Lu Wengong to a gentleman and greatly appreciated it. The Lu people who knew the book and respected the ceremony were praised with pride.Under the guidance of the doctor Shusun Dechen (the grandson of Shu Ya), Lu Wengong walked down the steps with a dignified look, thanked Jin Xianggong and said: "A small country is ordered by a big country, how dare you not be dignified and prudent? I am honored to receive such a great gift from you. Is there anything happier than this? The reason why the small country is happy is because of the favor of the big country!" The high hats of the Jin people are naturally given appropriately, and the flattery of the Lu people is also just right.Duke Xiang of Jin heard this, and quickly walked down the steps, and sincerely invited Duke Wen of Lu to come on stage together and salute each other.Duke Wen of Lu was impressed by the enthusiasm of Duke Xiang of Jin, and he reciprocated courtesy. He also read a poem "Jia Le" to meet the occasion, praising Duke Xiang of Jin for "showing his virtue, being suitable for the people and people, and being rewarded by heaven". Duke Xiang of Jin was a good man to the end. In the spring of the second year, he returned the doctor Kong Da to the state of Wei.Of course, in order to give themselves a step down, the state of Jin declared to the outside world that Kong Da was a virtuous official of the state of Wei. The state of Jin could not bear the heart of a loyal man to be imprisoned because of his loyalty to state affairs, so he released Kong Da on his own initiative.This rhetoric not only gave him face, but also gave Weiguo face.In summer, Duke Cheng of Wei went to the state of Jin in person to express his thanks. Not long after, Cao Gonggong also took the initiative to go to the state of Jin to make a pilgrimage, expressing his willingness to submit to the leadership of the state of Jin. "Zuo Zhuan" records these things one by one, in order to tell readers that Jin Xianggong continued the hegemony established by Jin Wengong through benevolence rather than force, and was respected by the princes. In the autumn of this year, Duke Xiang of Jin sent troops to crusade against Qin and surrounded Wan and Xincheng in retaliation for the battle of Wang Guan last year. The battle of the royal officials also had a profound impact on Qin.The most fundamental thing, needless to say, is to restore the confidence of the Qin people.The military victories are certainly limited, but if viewed from another perspective, the fact that the Qin people were able to fight the overlords of the world behind closed doors on the territory of the Jin state and hang up the card to avoid war is itself an affirmation of the strength of the Qin state. As for another unexpected consequence, the Xirong tribe was deeply disturbed when they learned that Qin State had defeated Jin State, the number one in the world, and sent a man named Yu Yu to visit Qin State to find out the reality of Qin State. In the history of the Qin State, there are many outstanding talents who are not from the country, they come from all over the Central Plains, even from wild lands.After these people arrived in Qin State, they were reused by the ruling group and served Qin State wholeheartedly. They even did not hesitate to help Qin State attack their own motherland, and made outstanding contributions to the strength of Qin State and even the unification of China.If we want to make a list of these people, we can list a series of prominent names such as Gongsunzhi, Bailixi, Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Li Si, Cai Ze, etc., and Yu Yu should also be on the list as well . Youyu's ancestors were from the state of Jin. Because he committed a crime or offended the dignitaries, he was forced to go into exile to the place where Xirong lived, where he took root and settled down.Due to the edification of his family environment, Yu Yu could speak the local language of the Central Plains since he was a child, and he was familiar with poetry and books, and enjoyed a high reputation among the Xirong people. Duke Mu of Qin had heard of Yu Yu's reputation.After Yu Yu arrived in Yongcheng, he was warmly received by Duke Mu of Qin, and he "showed him the official residence and accumulated", that is to say, he took him to visit the palace of Yongcheng, showing the wealth of Qin. By the way, the establishment of Yongcheng as the capital of the Qin State happened in the era of Qin Mugong's father, Qin Degong, and it was only a few decades since Youyu visited Qin.The state of Qin is located in the west, and compared with the countries in the Central Plains, the economy has never been very developed.With the national strength of the Qin State, Yongcheng's "offices and accumulation" really had nothing to boast about in that era.However, it is insufficient compared to the top, and it is more than the bottom. Naturally, Yongcheng cannot be compared with Jiangdu, Xinzheng, and Linzi, but for people from the barbaric land of Xirong, Yongcheng is a big city full of air. Unexpectedly, after Yu Yu visited the exhibition of Qin’s achievements in the construction of slavery, he just commented indifferently: “If these things are done by ghosts, it would take a lot of effort; You can imagine." This is like when we invite foreigners to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the foreigners not only do not look down, but keep asking "How much", it is generally disappointing. Qin Mugong also felt very bored, so he asked: "The Chinese countries use poetry, books, rites, music, and law as the basis of politics, and there are occasional turmoil; the Rongyi area does not have these things, so how can they govern the country?" You Yu replied with a smile: "Speaking of poetry, books, rites, music, and laws, they are the source of turmoil in China. Back then, the Yellow Emperor created rituals, music, and laws to set an example, and the world was only a small order. In later generations, the rulers became more and more extravagant and licentious. , more and more like to use punishments to deal with the people, but the people are overwhelmed and resent the rulers for not being virtuous. Therefore, the upper and lower levels complain to each other, and the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, which will turn into turmoil and even subjugate the country. The Rongyi area is different , the ruler treats the subordinates with simple principles, and the subordinates only serve their masters with loyalty and trust, without any political theory, let nature take its course, so it is the real rule of saints." Qin Mugong didn't say anything, but there was a murmur in his heart.After returning, he asked Neishi Liao: "I heard that there are saints in neighboring countries, which is a worry for this country. Now Yu Yu is such a person. I am worried that he will become a worry for Qin. What can you do?" "Simple, kill him." "Don't talk nonsense, give me some practical advice - I want to use him." "Well... aren't the Rong people dismissive of our poems, books, rites and music? I have an idea. Let's send a 'female band' to the leader of Xirong, let him indulge in it and ignore political affairs; and then send People went to Xirong and asked Yu Yu to stay in Qin State, which caused suspicion among their monarchs and ministers; they deliberately kept Yu Yu and refused to let him go back to Xi Rong, creating the illusion that Yu Yu himself wanted to stay in Qin State, and expanded the relationship between their monarchs and ministers. distrust between them. Through these methods, I will not worry about whether I will return to you." "Good idea!" Qin Mugong rubbed his head with joy after hearing what Nei Shiliao said. I very much doubt whether this Nei Shi Liao has traveled through the time tunnel to see the true biography of Song Jiang and Wu Yongzhi. For the next few days, Duke Mu of Qin asked You Yu to meet every day, and regardless of his superiority, he sat at the same table with him and ate at the same table.While eating, he asked Youyu about the customs, geography, characters and even the military strength of Xirong.The more we talked, the more determined Qin Mugong was to take this person for his own use. At the same time, Nei Shiliao personally selected sixteen beautiful girls to form a women's band with all kinds of blowing, pulling, playing, singing, color, fragrance and taste, and sent them to the big tent of the leader of Xirong. No one would refuse such a generous gift. As Nei Shiliao predicted, after the leader of Xirong got the women's band, he really ignored political affairs from then on, and became obsessed with music research and women's research in the Central Plains, and left the matter of Yu Yu as an envoy to Qin to Java.When Yu Yu came back from the Qin Kingdom, everything changed, and the big tent was full of singing and dancing, and the atmosphere of spring was full of spring.Obviously, the leader didn't want to hear about his visits, but only wanted to hear Qin Gongqiuyue played by the Sixteenth Women's Band.Yu Yu persuaded him several times to no avail, and the Qin State kept sending people to win him over secretly, which also aroused the suspicion of the leader.The gap between Yu Yu and the leader of Xirong is getting bigger and bigger. Not long after, Yu Yu took the initiative to leave the Xirong area and came to Yong City in Qin State again. In 623 B.C., the second year of the Battle of Kings and Officials, the State of Qin, with Meng Ming as its commander, adopted Yu's strategy to divide and conquer the various tribes of Xirong, conquered twelve Xirong tribes in one fell swoop, opened up thousands of miles of territory to the west, and became the overlord of Xirong. The strength of Qin State has grown by leaps and bounds. The news of the success spread to Luoyi, the royal city, and the emperor of Zhou made the icing on the cake by sending a golden drum to Duke Mu of Qin to express his congratulations. The golden drum is an instrument of ritual and music.As a prince, he was awarded the golden drum by the emperor, which was a very coveted honor at the time.Marked by dominating Xirong and receiving the Golden Drum, Qin Mugong reached the pinnacle of his personal career. Two years later, Qin Mugong passed away. At that time, Qin Mugong won the respect of the world for his benevolence rather than martial arts.In the history of the relationship between Qin and Jin, Qin Mugong once supported the two monarchs of Jin Huigong and Jin Wengong. Without the help of Qin Mugong, Jin Wengong would not have come to power, and there would be no hegemony of Jin.Considering that the state of Qin has rescued the famine of the state of Jin many times, we can say that Qin Mugong has great favors to the king of Jin, the people of Jin, and the state of Jin. However, judging from historical records, it seems that Qin Mugong did not ask for more rewards for his own contributions. Even the five cities outside Hewai obtained after defeating Jin Huigong were returned to Jin in time because of his son Yu's hostage. State, in addition to this, Qin State did not receive any direct benefits.On the contrary, the state of Jin has repeatedly acted to avenge kindness and revenge, which has repeatedly hurt the feelings of the people of Qin.However, these injuries did not affect Qin Mugong's rational judgment, nor did he affect his benevolence. The original blueprint for our distinction between "Japanese imperialism" and "Japanese people". Under Qin Mugong's leadership, Qin's national strength has increased significantly, which is related to his human resource policy of employing people without doubt and daring to assume leadership responsibilities.However, what is puzzling is that Qin Mugong loved and valued talents so much. After his death, the people of Qin followed the traditional bad customs and buried more than 170 people including the three brothers of the Che family.The three Ziche brothers were called good ministers in Qin State, that is, the pillars of the country. Their death made the people of Qin State deeply sad, so they wrote the poem "Yellow Bird" to express their condolences.The poem reads like this: The yellow bird jumped on the branch, came and went freely, and lived in its own place, but the three Ziche brothers were lying innocently in the cold tomb, which is really embarrassing.
