Shang Dynasty established its own soup and spread it to Shang Zhouwang in the 28th generation. Speaking of Shang Zhouwang, I believe even people who have never been to school have heard of it. He is the most notorious tyrant in the history of China. Together with the femme fatale "Su Daji", he has been nailed to the shame column of history forever, and is called "helping others to abuse".
"Zhou" is not the tyrant's real name, but what Zhou people later called him, namely "posthumous title". The original meaning of "Zhou" is cruel. People, words, famous all over the world. I don't know if Zhou people hate him too much, but they have been crying and shouting the name of He until today.
Everyone is familiar with the story of "Wu Wang attacked Zhou", and some people ask, "What made Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang relay and must destroy Shang Zhou?"
What is the reason for the "Western Zhou Dynasty Wu Wang attacked Shang Dynasty"? Is it a mystery in history? This can definitely be answered, not a mystery, but a historical grudge. This starts with Shang Zhouwang and Zhou Wuwang's grandfather!
The predecessor of the Western Zhou Dynasty was not called Xiqi, but called "the first week tribe", and the founder of this tribe was called Qi Gong's father, that is, Zhou Wuwang's great-grandfather, which was called "Zhou Wang Tai" in history. My father made three major decisions, which not only made the tribes of the first Zhou Dynasty prosper, but also laid a complete foundation for the later establishment of the Zhou Dynasty.
The first decision was to let the Zhou tribe marry the powerful clan of the Jiang family and find powerful foreign aid for their tribe. Who dares to provoke the tribes of the Zhou Dynasty easily in other vassal states? A peaceful environment can be conducive to the development of one's own tribe.
Although it solved the problem that other tribes were eyeing their own tribes, Rong Di, a "Man Zi" who didn't follow the routine, was still a threat to the tribes in the first week. What should we do?
Therefore, Qigong's father quickly made a second decision. That is, the tribe in the first week moved from tapir to Xiqiao, and the principle of people moving to live was indeed successful in practice. The invasion of Rongdi was greatly reduced and the external environment for development was completely improved.
If you move to a new place, you will have a new atmosphere. Therefore, Qigong's father quickly made a third decision, demanding that tribal members must change nomadic customs, build cities and houses, set up officials, reclaim wasteland to develop agriculture, turn wandering tribal members into permanent residents, strengthen the cohesion of the masses, and prepare manpower for the army reserve.
It is these three tricks that make Zhou Xian tribe stronger gradually. I have to say that there must be my father's medal of merit at the historical turning point of the demise of Shang Dynasty and the establishment of Zhou Dynasty!
After Qi Gong's father died, his son, Zhou Wuwang's grandfather, Ji Li inherited the throne of the tribe. Ji Li is also a tribal leader with strategic vision. He called on the tribal people to build large-scale water conservancy projects and vigorously develop the agricultural economy. In order to fight against the surrounding Rongdi and strengthen the self-defense ability of the tribe, the army trained day and night.
Most importantly, he inherited his father's legacy, continued to maintain close relations with the Shang Dynasty in the East, and married a noble stone man in the Shang Dynasty, which won the strong support of King Wen Ding in the process of fighting against Rong Di. King Wen Ding is Shang Zhouwang's grandfather.
During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Rongdi tribe was always a hidden danger in the Shang Dynasty. As the co-owner of the Shang Dynasty, all previous dynasties adopted the strategy of "ruling the emperor with the emperor".
Ji Li certainly understood this truth. He is also more competitive. After years of continuous campaigns, he has defeated and conquered Xigui Rong, Yanjing Rong, Rong, First Hurong and Disciple Rong.
Therefore, King Wen Ding named the calendar Xibo and made him the overlord of the western governors, which is the origin of Xibohou's name.
However, our personal governance ability and Xiqi's development speed are too fast, far beyond the imagination and control of businessmen. Afraid of the influence of Zhou, Wen decided to cheat the merchants in the name of raising rewards, and was soon killed casually.
After the death of Ji Li, the feud between Shang and Zhou Dynasties was completely solved. After all, the enemy should make peace with the enemy. When Shang Zhouwang's father, Di Yi, was in charge of the Shang Dynasty, in order to alleviate the deepening contradiction between Shang and Zhou Dynasties and let Ji Chang inherit the title, he was called Xibo Ji Chang in history. Jichang of Xibe nationality became Shang Zhouwang's uncle, while King Ji Fa and Shang Zhouwang were cousins, so they were not close.
Have to say, Di Yi's imperial technique is really perfect, the contradiction between Shang and Zhou dynasties finally eased, and Ji Chang temporarily put down the idea of revenge for his father.
To Di Yi's surprise, although Ji Li was killed and her marriage was over, Xiqi's growth was unstoppable. On the basis laid by his grandfather and father, Ji Chang not only continued to vigorously develop agriculture and train the army, but also recruited talents from all over the world on a large scale. Of course, the most famous is Wang Wen, who "happened to meet" an old man fishing on the bank of Weihe River. After some conversation, he took him back to Fengjing and became a military leader. This is the famous story of Jiang Taigong's fishing wish.
After the death of Di Yi, Di Xin succeeded to the throne, and Di Xin was Shang Zhouwang. Xibo Hou Jichang's strategy of ruling the country by virtue soon attracted a group of good ministers and generals to take refuge, and at the same time many governors also came to take refuge, which also attracted the attention and fear of Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin, and realized that Xiqi had developed to the point where it could threaten its own rule.
The tribe must not be the end of the Shang Dynasty. What did Shang Zhouwang do? So, he learned from his grandfather Wen Ding that he cheated Ji's businessmen and his uncle Ji Chang into being locked up. This year, Ji Chang was 82 years old.
Where is Ji Chang imprisoned? Yǒulǐ, not too far from Chao Ge, is a high platform with a height of 5m, a length of106m and a width of108m. This is the earliest existing national prison in the history of China.
I have to say that Shang Zhouwang is really cruel. Compared with the imprisoned grandfather Ji Li, Shang Zhouwang went further. He killed Ji Chang's eldest son, Bo Yikao, and used his meat to make patties for Ji Chang. Ji Changming knew that it was made of his son's meat, but he choked back his inner indignation and pretended not to know anything about it.
For Ji Chang, the old hatred of grandpa's murder has not disappeared, and the new hatred of his son's murder has come again. The feud between Shang and Zhou Dynasties has no other way but to separate you and me!
What about Zhou Wang? He laughed when he heard that Ji Chang had eaten human flesh, so he relaxed his vigilance against his uncle Ji Chang.
In order to save Ji Chang, the family and minister Sanyisheng presented a lot of beautiful women and precious jewels to Shang Zhouwang, so Shang Zhouwang borrowed a donkey to the slope, not only released Ji Chang, but also gave him a bow, an arrow and an axe, and granted him the power to levy taxes, so that Ji Chang could stabilize the rule of western princes. This year, Ji Chang is 89 years old!
After the elderly Ji Chang returned to Xiqiao, he pretended to surrender to Shang Zhouwang, deliberately showing the appearance of debauchery and indulgence, which made Zhou Wang relax his vigilance against him. In fact, I have never forgotten the shame that Shang Zhouwang let himself eat his son's meat. Ji Chang told himself that he must personally lead his troops to destroy the Shang Dynasty and kill Zhou Wang, who had no humanity.
Unfortunately, the hero is dying, working day and night for his country. In the second year of his return to Xiqiao, he unfortunately fell ill. Before he died, he said to Ji Fa, "Son, I must fulfill my last wish, overthrow Shang Zhouwang, kill him, avenge your dead brother and relieve the worries of people all over the world. Be diligent, don't neglect state affairs, consult with the squire when things happen, and don't act arbitrarily. "
For Ji Fa, the feud between Shang and Zhou Dynasties was not just as simple as his father told him to avenge his brother. Grandfather was imprisoned by Shang Wang and died. It was a great shame that his father was imprisoned, and his brother was beheaded by Shang Zhouwang. Now his father is angry again. Where is justice?
After returning to Jichang and explaining the situation of his son Ji Fa, he said to Jiang Ziya, "Grandpa, you have worked hard day and night for me, Xibohou. That's very kind of you. I just want to cultivate Ji Fa, let him do something in the future, complete my legacy and destroy the Shang Dynasty. "
Jiang Ziya held Zhou Wenwang's hand and nodded silently with tears in his eyes. He said to King Wen, "Don't worry, Xibohou! I will do my duty faithfully and help the young master to govern the world together. Rest in peace. "
In this way, Xibohou closed his tired eyes in a hurry, and with lifelong regret, he failed to kill Shang himself.
The minister and his son were in tears, and people were very sad after learning the news. After Xibo Hou Jichang died, his second son, Ji Fa, succeeded to the throne, that is, Zhou Wuwang. In the second year of his reign, with the assistance of Jiang Ziya, he led an elite division to destroy the business, forcing Shang Zhouwang Lutai to set himself on fire, and fulfilled his father Ji Chang's last wish: to destroy the business and establish the Zhou Dynasty.
