Marquis Wen Jin
Edit Profile晋文侯, 晉文侯, 姬仇
Career
He was also the first ruler of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 805 British Columbia, Marquis Mu of Jin was battling with a tribe called Tiao (條). He succeeded and became the next ruler of Jin.
In 771 British Columbia, the tenth year of his reign, King You of Zhou was killed by Quanrong nomads and two Zhou family members were subsequently and separately declared king: King Ping of Zhou and King Xie of Zhou.
Therefore, both kings were claiming to be the next king of Zhou. In 760 British Columbia, the 21st year of his reign, Marquis Wen of Jin killed King Xie of Zhou, and the Zhou government became one again.
Since this action helped King Ping of Zhou in establishing the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Marquis Wen of Jin was heavily rewarded. The King also granted him lands to add to his territory.
Also, with the permission of the King, he expanded the territory of Jin, especially areas around the Jin River.
