Historical Records records the story of warlords in the bonfire drama. Although Sima Qian is recognized as a good history, this story is false, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was not destroyed by women. Elaborate as follows:
Mr. Qian Mu once questioned this when he wrote the Outline of National History. Mr. Qian believes that the beacon tower was an early warning system to prevent the invasion of Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, but people in the Western Zhou Dynasty did not have this system. Moreover, the vassal States are far away from Haojing, so how can they see the bonfire and arrive at the same time? In addition, when the vassal state reinforcements arrive and find that there is no war, they will quickly withdraw their troops, which is nothing funny in itself.
In addition, Mr. Qian Mu also pointed out: This war is Zhou Youwang's initiative to attack Shenguo, and there is no need to light a bonfire to call the vassal army.
Ryuro Hirashi, a Japanese historian, also raised his own questions and opinions when he wrote "From the City-State to China", which is the second volume of the series "Conversation: A History of China". In his view, the monarch needs strong monarchical power to play with the prince like this. But this did not exist in the Spring and Autumn Period. Until the Warring States period, the monarchy was never strengthened. Therefore, the story of the princes in the bonfire drama is likely to be fabricated by people after the Warring States Period.
Is there any historical data to prove the words of these historians? Of course there is!
The bamboo slips "The Year of the Department" unearthed a few years ago and compiled by Tsinghua proved that this story which has been circulating for two thousand years is false. Zhou Youwang attacked Shen Guo, Shen Guo turned to Quan Rong for help, defeated Zhou Jun together, and died in the disorderly army. Zhou Youwang married his wife from Shen Xi, and he was king all his life. The king still (again) took a flattering daughter, which was a compliment and gave birth to a boss. Praise the king, the king and Pan Bo painted the king, and the king went to the west to apply. Wang You started his career and returned to ask for help. An army was sent to Xirong to attack the king. Both the king and the king were destroyed, and Zhou died. )
The enfeoffment system gave too much power. At that time, just like the federal government, local leaders could have resisted long ago, and more was to find a reason. Later, they rebelled, just like some emperors, who always made up stories for themselves, saying that the sky was different and Liu Bang and White Snake revolted.
With enough back covers and troops, we could have found a way to be independent long ago, and we were teased. Isn't this exactly what you want? Just before Britain invaded China, it wanted to find a reason, such as threatening the lives of our citizens and banning trade (selling opium), so I had to do this routine and rush to destroy others, because a woman is so funny.
Therefore, the story of the warlord in the bonfire drama is false, and the Western Zhou Dynasty did not die in the hands of praise.
