In the late Shang Dynasty, in the eleventh year of Zhou Wuwang (before 1027 or before 1046), when Zhou Wang sent a decent army to explore here, Zhou Wuwang saw the opportunity now or never. With the help of Lv Wang and others, he took 300 chariots and 3,000 warriors (elite warriors) and raided merchants eastward, with a total force of 45,000. Before he left, Yu Xin admonished him. The Quotations of Corpses said: "The King of Wu attacked Zhou, and Yu Xin admonished him:" I am twenty years old and will not go to the north. On the 21st of the same month, Zhou Jun arrived and joined Yong, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu, Qiang, Wei and Xun (Wang Ji was a businessman and a minister). On the 28th, Zhou Jun entered from Jinmeng East in the rain, crossed the Yellow River from Bidi (now Sishui Town, Xingyang, Henan Province) and entered Baiquan East (now northwest of Huixian County, Henan Province). Marching at a speed of nearly 30 kilometers every day, I went straight to Shangdu Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province) and arrived in Mu Ye (now south of Qixian County, Henan Province and north of Weihe River) on February 26th. After Zhou Wang learned the news, he had to dispatch troops urgently, but at this time, the main force was far away in the southeast, so it was impossible to dispatch troops immediately. So we had to arm a large number of slaves against Zhou Shi, and the Book of Songs said that "the journey of the Shang Dynasty will be like a forest". There are 700,000 people in history, which is somewhat exaggerated, but the troops are definitely much more than Zhou Wuwang's army. On the morning of 27th, Zhou Jun solemnly swore to recount all kinds of atrocities in Shang Zhouwang, which is the "pastoral oath" recorded in history books. At the end of the swearing-in, King Wu ordered a general attack, advanced squire Lu Shang led hundreds of elite troops to attack, and King Wu personally led the main force to follow up and kill. The slaves and prisoners of war in the commercial army had no fighting spirit and turned to spears. Zhou Jun defeated the Shang army in Muye (now south of Qixian County and north of Weihe River), and the Shang army collapsed in an instant. When Zhou Wang saw that the tide was over, he fled back to Chao Ge in panic and boarded the Lutai. He was "bejeweled, dressed in jade clothes, and died in the sea of fire", which is known in history as "the battle of Makino". According to Yi Zhou Shu Shi Fu, the battle was bloody and cruel. Mencius sighed after reading this book: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books. I have only adopted two or three strategies for my military success. "Benevolence, world-beater; Even the benevolence is cut to the point of inhumanity, how bloody! " But objectively looking at the situation at that time, the situation recorded in Prisoner of the World may be closer to the truth. According to Yi Zhoushu Captives in the World, King Wu won a great victory in the battle of Makino, killing180,000 people, capturing 330,000 people alive, killing rhinoceros, tigers, bears, deer and other animals, and plundering a lot of jewelry and property. After the victory, King Wu stabbed Zhou Wang's body with "Guanglu", and then Zhou Wuwang conquered the governors of the Shang Dynasty and expelled Yu Haibin, the general of the Shang Dynasty. However, at this time, the Shang Dynasty was still not completely extinct. For example, the fief of Wu Geng was still preserved, and the army invaded by merchants from the south was not completely destroyed. Some of the forces stayed in Dongyi until Zhou Chengwang and the Duke of Zhou's crusade. In the past, there were 44 arguments about the time of attacking the Zhou (from 1 130 to 10 18). According to "Guoyu", the turtle in Lingzhou said: "In the past, the king of Wu was a merchant, aged over quail fire, the moon was in the sky, the sun was in the wood, the morning was in bucket handle, and the stars were in the sky", which can be inferred as BC 1046. Historian He Bingdi believes that quail fire is Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Chronological records of bamboo slips 1027 BC. "Dead Body" records: "When the king of Wu attacked Zhou, the fish believed in the sword and said,' Jupiter will not swim north. "King Wu does not obey." Xunzi's "Filial Piety of Confucian Scholars" said: "When the king of Wu is punished, the day of the trip is also a taboo for soldiers, welcoming the old age to the east." Huainanzi? 6? "A Brief Instruction on the Art of War" also said: "The King of Wu attacked the enemy and welcomed the New Year in the East." According to calculation, the date is 65438 BC+0045 BC+February 3, 65438 BC. "Li Chan" says: "The king of Wu seeks business, but Jia Zilin (the DPRK) is old and faint, and he is old and has business." In the Ming Dynasty, Huang Daozhou said that Woods was old (BC 1053). Huang Zongxi's Textual Research on Jia Zi in Past Dynasties and Zhu's Jia Zi Shu in Past Dynasties take Wu Wang as their age (1 122), and there have been many arguments with Zhu. The dating project of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was determined as 65438 BC+0046 BC 65438 BC+10/October 20th. Jiang concluded at the 1998 12.20 dating project meeting that the king of Wu had a business before 1044 1.9.
