Duke Wu of Zheng
Duke Wu of Zheng (Chinese: 鄭武公; 770–744 BC) was the second ruler of the State of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn period in ancient China. He assumed the throne after his father, Duke Huan of Zheng, was killed alongside King You of Zhou in a 771 BC Quanrong attack on the Western Zhou capital Haojing. Duke Wu, alongside Duke Xiang of Qin supported King Ping of Zhou's flight to Chengzhou by securing the Central Plains, where Duke Huan had previously relocated Zheng. Duke Wu later annexed the states of Eastern Guo (東虢), Hu (胡), Kuai (鄶), and Ji (祭).
