The Rise of the Emperor of Zhou: How was the Shang Dynasty attacked by Zhou?
Compared with the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Zhou Dynasty seems to have no sense of existence in the history of China, but in fact, this history is very magnificent. For example, half the thickness of the current idiom dictionary is contributed by the Zhou Dynasty. For example, the Four Books and Five Classics, The Analects of Confucius, Zhuangzi, The Book of Changes and The Art of War were all written in the Zhou Dynasty. This period of history is also the most inspiring time for future generations to be human beings. So, let's start with the Zhou Dynasty. -1- It is said that Hou Ji, the ancestor of the Lao Zhou family, was a figure in the mythical era, the legendary god of grains in China. Hou Ji is one of the three backbones of Dayu's water control team, namely, Dayu, Hou Ji and Zi Qi. Perhaps by fate, these three pioneers were Xia, Shang and Zhou. After his success, Hou Ji established a small tribe called Zhou. They passed on for more than ten generations in a place called "Ben" (Nianbin), and it was hard all the way, and finally reached their great-grandfather: Gu (Niandan)' s father. Gu's father's general plan of governing the country is four words, serving people with virtue. As a result, a muscular man and a dog came next door, and their strategy was also four words, convincing people with fists. At this time, Gu's father's situation was just like when Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao in Xiangyang. Gu's father had to pack his bags and take the whole tribe to Kyushu. Finally, they came to Qishan. This place is quite good, which can fully display the agricultural talent of the Lao Zhou family. The problem is that this place belongs to Shang Dynasty. The king said, if you call me big brother, you will be brothers in the future. You go out and call me, no one dares to bully you. Of course, remember to pay the protection fee on time. So the Lao Zhou family finally settled in Xiqiao and became a small vassal of Shang Dynasty. With the backing, serving people with good deeds can finally be put into use, and surrounding tribes have taken refuge, and Xiqi's career is booming. Gu's father only married a wife named Jiang Taigong and gave birth to three sons. Finally, the throne passed to his youngest son. Ji Li only married a wife named Tairen and their son, namely Zhou Wenwang Jichang. Behind every successful man, there is only one woman. In those days, in order to have more offspring, it was not monogamy, let alone royalty. But for some reason, they didn't bring concubines, which unexpectedly became an element to stabilize the royal family, as we will talk about later. Ji Chang is a "gossip", and everything should be a divination. He not only practiced in person, but also summed up experience. The gossip we see today is all Wang Wen's gossip obtained by Ji Chang on the basis of Fuxi and innate gossip in the mythical era. He is very experienced in divination, and once he calculated a divination for himself. Look! Suffer. -2- When it comes to the Zhou Dynasty, it is inevitable to talk about its predecessor, the Shang Dynasty. This year, the Shang Dynasty welcomed a new king, Zhou Wang Di Xin. At first glance, the title of Zhou Wang is not a good word, which makes people feel that he is a bad king. Actually, this is posthumous title of the Zhou Dynasty. Newcomers give their predecessors a "pot of a bad king", which often happens in the history of China, such as Xia Jie, the last king of Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Youwang, a "militant warlord" of Western Zhou Dynasty. But is this really the case? I have to say something else. Take Zhou Wang as an example. Even in the whole history of Shang Dynasty, Di Xin was definitely a countless figure. "Historical Records Yin Benji" said: "The son of heaven is very sensitive in distinguishing diseases, extremely talented and fierce in hand." Therefore, Di Xin is not only the Song Wu of Shang Dynasty, but also the debater of Qi Yuan Shuo, which is both civil and military. But young Di Xin also faces a dilemma: local forces are getting out of control. His brother's wings are hard, and many governors are senior. Some people dare to be late and leave early for a meeting. Di Xin's men hinted that it was time to knock. Therefore, Hou Jichang, a "negative typical" Xibe, was called to Chao Ge and put directly into a place called Youli, which is actually a prison. Ji Chang has two counselors, Taidian and Lifelong. Whenever there is trouble, I will try to "catch people". They also spent a lot of money. According to historical records, the BMW dedicated to "Xin's daughter" and "Li Rong's Wenma" has nothing to say. There are beautiful women and stories. There is a place called Shen You, which is located in the southeast of Heyang County, Shaanxi Province. I guess there were a lot of beautiful women at that time. Once, Ji Chang was walking by the Weihe River. Suddenly he saw a beautiful woman on the other side of the river. The beauty of this woman is simply amazing. When Jichang was staring, the beauty turned around and saw Ji Chang standing still, so she smiled at him. That's a terrible thing. It is called "If she just turns her head and smiles, there will be a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of six palaces will go up in smoke". "Come on, that's her. Because there is no bridge on the Weihe River, in order to marry this beauty, Ji Chang built a boat as a beam in the Weihe River, and the boat was connected with the boat to form a pontoon bridge, which was greeted by himself. The scene is spectacular. This story was later recorded, which is the opening of The Book of Songs. " "Guan Guanluo dove, in Hezhou. Beautiful and virtuous women are good spouses of gentlemen. " And that beauty, that is, Ji Fa his niang of, too si, is a woman. Words minions busy outside, Ji Chang also not idle, continue to study gossip in prison, the result wrote a book of changes, which is what we see now. Send beauty and BMW, and apologize to Di Xin, this just let Jichang out. The so-called "everyone is innocent, but he is guilty." Although Ji Chang saved his life this time, he knew that when he might happen, Di Xin would bring him trouble again. When he was dying, the only thing he said to his son Ji Fa was to destroy the business before it was too late. Ji Fa is also rich in political experience, which is not to say that he is smart, but that he made his debut early. Ji Fa's mother, Tess, married Ji Chang, and her main task was to "make people". They gave birth to 10 children altogether. With the medical conditions 3,000 years ago, it was really 10 times, which was embarrassing. According to the present words, Ji Fa and his brothers were born in a perfect "family". Tess's moral education for them is unambiguous. Among their brothers, Laosi is more famous than Ji Fa. His name is Ji Dan, which is Zhou Gongdan that we often dream about. In order to commend Taisi's virtue, Zhou called Gu's father Taijiang, his wife Tairen and Ji Chang's wife Taisi "Madam", which is why married women are now called "Madam". Shanxi Datong Museum has a national treasure: the painted lacquer screen of Sima Jinlong's tomb in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Among them are the story paintings of Santai in Zhou Dynasty. Besides, Ji Fa is the second son, born at the age of Ji Chang 15, so Ji Fa, like Prince Charles, made his debut early and took over late. Of course, he understood his father's legacy, but the conditions did not allow it at that time, and the advantage of the Shang Dynasty over local forces was still obvious. Only from the perspective of bronze smelting technology, merchants can create such a huge bronze ware as Simuwu Dafang Ding, but from the perspective of weapons and equipment, Zhou is not comparable. However, in the west, Ji Fa, a startup, has two ways of development: 1. With its own brand value and influence, it supports neighboring small States as franchisees and expands alliance members. Commonly known as serving people with virtue. 2. For competitors, we will use the scale advantage to destroy them, that is, conquer them by force and forcibly merge them into the "alliance", commonly known as convincing people with fists. As a result, it has entered a positive cycle, and talents from all walks of life in the West have also defected, and more and more small States have joined the "alliance." Then why does Di Xin tolerate Ji Fa's wanton development? There are two main reasons: 1. In ancient China, due to road traffic problems, the land that could be directly managed was limited, and remote areas could not be managed at all, so appropriate free development was allowed. 2. Even if Xiqiao is eliminated, there will still be Xiqiao B and Xiqiao C. Since it is the same to find an agent, it is better to be cooked than cooked. Besides, Ji Chang has * * *, and it seems that the effect is not bad. Let's continue to maintain it. In fact, according to this situation, Ji Fa has no chance in this life, but the opportunity will come soon. -4- In fact, for Di Xin, who just stepped onto the stage, compared with Jichang, his family is more troublesome. Because what he needs is to strengthen centralization. And these people are vested interests of the empire, and their power is getting bigger and bigger. If one of them doesn't listen, it may not work. So what Di Xin has to do is weaken and consume them, so how to do it? Fight. In the event of a war, the nobles will fulfill their obligations and pay for food to send troops, which is a huge consumption. Who will you fight in the war? As I said before, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Compared with Xibohou, there is a group of more difficult tribes in the East, Dongyi, which is now Shandong. China's ancient dynasty was attacked from all sides, so it was called "four barbarians". It is called Nanman in the south, Beidi in the north, Xirong in the west and Dongyi in the east. Actually, look at this passage, it's quite vivid. It's full of ants, Betty is a savage who can use fire, Rong is a dog Rong who can raise dogs with weapons, and Dongyi is a group of guys who shoot bows well. The Yi people who shot down nine suns in myths and legends are Dongyi people. The base camp of Shang Dynasty was in the East. Defeating Dongyi can consume the strength of the nobles, expand the manageable territory and complete a reshuffle of power, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. But the problem is, I haven't hit it twice. If a person succeeds in the end, everything he does is right. If he fails in the end, everything he does is wrong. At this time, the voice of opposition came. I doubt whether there is anything in history that favors the queen, craves pleasure and wastes people's money by drinking. Even if there is, this is not the main reason for the demise of the Shang Dynasty. There is a brother named Wei, who is a half-brother. But because he is not the eldest son, he cannot inherit the throne. Wei can be said to be a good man, but he is definitely not cut out to be an emperor. Encouraged by the nobles, Wei persuaded not to fight, and the people were in trouble. Of course, Di Xin ignored him. As a result, Wei simply said in a rage that I quit and went to a place called Wei. This choice may be in line with Wei's wishes, but it is a major blow to the Shang Dynasty and sends a signal to the outside world that there was a huge rift in the Shang Dynasty. This signal was keenly grasped by Ji Fa. So, taking advantage of the third war between Shang Dynasty and Dongyi, Xiqi raised the flag to launch a large-scale sneak attack. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle. Although this was a sneak attack, Ji Fa did not rise rashly, which contained precise plans. First of all, when Di Xin was preparing to go to war with Dongyi for the third time, Ji Fa was a vassal at the Tianjin Union Conference, secretly discussing how to do things together. It is said that there are 800 governors attending. Actually, maybe not that much. After all, the cake will be divided afterwards, but at least the tribes in the west are unified. Secondly, alienate the nobles of Shang dynasty, promise with greater interests, win over as much as possible, and at least ensure that they stay in place. Finally, the opportunity came. When the main force of Shang Dynasty was anxious in Dongyi, the main force of Xiqi came near Chao Ge. So the two sides arrayed themselves in the land of Mu Ye, where they sang. When he arrived, it had been raining for three days. The ancients were superstitious. Ji Fa was a little worried when they saw the heavy rain. He wanted to learn divination from his father, but he was stopped by Taigong, that is, Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya smashed the tortoise shell of divination. He knows very well that at this time, there is no way out. This is a life-and-death war. Why go to divination? Perhaps it was at this time that Ji Fa started the mode of killing God. This time, Ji Fa invested 300 chariots, including 3,000 warriors and 45,000 soldiers. This is all the possessions of Xiqi. However, he faced several times his own business army, although most of them were slaves. The battle started, the two sides charged each other, and the chariots and infantry fought together. The killing was so loud that all the birds in the forest were scared to fly. Just as the two sides were in a state of anxiety, two chariots suddenly appeared on both sides of the Shang army, and the strong crossbows volleyed, and the Shang army began to be chaotic. The army of Xishu began to fight back, but the Shang army still had a numerical advantage after all. At this time, even Ji Fa himself entered the uneven lines. At his side, Zhou Gongdan looked at Ji Fa, afraid of killing people. He has completely turned into a battlefield demon. "Shangshu Wucheng" recorded this war: "It will be defeated by our teacher in Konoha. In the past, disciples rebelled and attacked the northern country, and blood flowed like a river. "When Ji Fa boarded the Chao Ge Tower, he heard the news of Zhou Wang Di Xin's suicide. Ji Fa looked at the scenery he had never seen before, and he might sigh that it was really a unique sight in the world. The two dynasties completed the alternation of power, the drama of Shang dynasty was finished, and the drama of Zhou dynasty was just about to be staged. I'm Uncle C, why do you think Shang Dynasty was replaced by Zhou Dynasty? Welcome to leave a message
