Duke Zhuang of Zheng

Duke Zhuang of Zheng(鄭莊公) (757 BC–701 BC) was the third ruler of the State of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China. His name was Wusheng (姬寤生), which means "a difficult birth". In 743 BC, he became the duke of Zheng, and later defeated his brother Gongshu Duan, who had led a rebellion against him. Duke Zhuang led military campaigns in the name of the Zhou king against the Rong people and other Zhou states. He also had a rather Miachavellian attitude towards ruling his country.
