"In this way, what is most urgently needed to be solved is to increase the strength of the Shang Dynasty and deal with the Zhou Xibo power.
Zhou Xibo Jichang, the son of Ji Jili...
Shang and Zhou can also be regarded as feuds.
It’s really because our predecessors raised tigers to cause trouble!”
Through the original memory, Qiao Mu easily resolved the grudge relationship between the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
At the beginning, Shang and Zhou dynasties were tribes.
That is to say, no one commands the other.
They are equal to each other.
However, after the merchants mastered the bronze technology, they began to conquer the surrounding tribes. As the ancestors, the Zhou tribe, founded by the descendants of Houji, who started with farming, was indeed more proficient in farming, rather than conquering wars and smelting bronze, so they were soon defeated by the merchants.
Become a vassal of the merchant tribe.
It was also used by the Shang tribe, and charged for the Shang tribe and attacked other tribes. Because of this, the Zhou tribe quickly gained the trust of the Shang tribe, gained some smelting knowledge, and also received the protection and enfeoffment of the Shang tribe.
After the Shang tribe recovered or eliminated other tribes around it, the Zhou tribe, one of the heroes, not only gained a lot of benefits and some fiefs, but also expanded its own tribe scope a lot. At the same time, it developed under the protection of the Shang tribe for a long time in the subsequent time.
After Ji Jili ascended the throne, he developed agriculture and promoted benevolence and righteousness, which made the Zhou tribe he ruled become more and more powerful. Many princes in the west surrendered to him. At the same time, he married the nobles of the Shang tribe, married Tairen as his wife, absorbed the knowledge and culture of the Shang tribe, and increased his own strength.
As for where does knowledge and culture come from?
Of course, it was Tai Ren brought it there.
As a female aristocrat, too Ren may be slightly inferior to male aristocrats in some aspects, but in terms of knowledge, the female aristocrats in charge of sacrifice should surpass those who do not like to study very much.
In addition to these, Ji Jili also fought against the surrounding Rongdi tribes and continuously expanded his military strength. When the leader of the Shang tribe found something wrong, he had basically wiped out the Rongdi tribes around the Zhou tribe and his strength increased greatly.
What is there to say?
The master is highly capable.
As a younger brother, his contribution is even better than the boss, and his military strength is almost up to the boss. How can a boss not worry? He has to pick the bones in the eggs and find ways to pick the thorns. Even if he really can't pick the thorns, he has to create some problems out of nothing to pick them and suppress them.
So, Di Wending took the opportunity of tribute to find a reason to imprison Jili and slander him for killing his father.
That is to say, he killed the late emperor Wu Yi.
Wu Yi is Wen Ding's father.
Di Yi's grandfather, the great-grandfather he suffered from.
Legend has it that he shot the sky with arrows.
Stripped to death by lightning.
But in fact, he was murdered by the divine sacrificial group because he had been trying hard to weaken the divine sacrificial power and enhance the royal power during his reign.
And successfully took a big step.
The sacrificial group could not bear it anymore, so they killed him and used his death to consolidate his theocracy again.
Wending was unable to take revenge on the sacrificial group.
So he simply imprisoned Ji Jili, who might threaten Shang's future dominance, in Yindu with the death of his father, and made him die of a hunger strike.
As for whether they were on a hunger strike or starved to death.
This is not easy to say.
Anyway, the official died of hunger strike on his face.
Not long after Ji Li's death, Wen Ding also died. At the same time, a disaster that had not been encountered in a century occurred near Yindu, and his strength was greatly damaged. At the same time, there was a rebellion in the east, but Zhou's strength was not much lost at this time. Out of fear of being attacked from both sides of the east and the west, Di Yi could only pinch his nose and admit that Ji Ji Li's death was his father's fault, and married his father's youngest daughter to Ji Chang to ease the conflict.
This is the sister Di Yi Gui from Zhouyi.
At the same time, it was also recorded in the "Book of Songs·Daya·Daming", and the word "The Heavenly Prison is below, and there is a collection of destiny."
King Wen first wrote a marriage made by heaven.
In the Yang of Qia, in the Jing of Wei.
…”
However, this is just a political marriage.
Di Yi needs to temporarily stabilize the Zhou tribe.
Because Ji Chang was not strong enough, he was not sure of destroying the Shang tribe, so he could only show his goodwill.
I hope to accumulate strength and wait for the future.
The revenge of killing your father is not so easy to calm down.
This is also the source of grudges between the Shang and Zhou tribes.
Qiao Mu knew very well at this time that this kind of grudge cannot be resolved at all. People who advise others that they will not be able to let go of grudges or grudges are all people who have never experienced it personally, and they are all empty words.
Such people must stay away from them.
They are saying it right now.
But if you kill all their houses.
Only him.
Then he would never be able to do it, so he would let go.
Maybe you can cut you by picking up a knife.
Maybe biting can kill you.
Those who say these words are just standing and talking without hurting their waists. He is stupid to listen to their words.
Therefore, Qiao Mu knew very well that the relationship between Shang and Zhou is a life-and-death relationship, either the Shang Dynasty or the Ji Zhou Dynasty.
No other possibility.
Qiao Mu's current identity obviously determines her position, and she must stand on the side of Shang.
Because she is not only the emperor and empress of Shang.
He is also the high priest of Shang's temple.
Have you ever seen the second-in-command of which country helps the enemy?
After thinking about the general development direction in the future, Qiaomu began to carefully think about what direction to start and slowly increase the strength of the Shang Dynasty.
And how to deal with internal conflicts between the Shang Dynasty.
In fact, the reason why the Shang Dynasty perished was not necessarily because of how stupid the emperor's son was. The real reason for the destruction was that the reforms received by the emperor's son had mobilized the interests of too many nobles and princes. Not to mention the others, just appointing foreigners as officials, that is, appointing foreigners like Fei Zhong, Evil Lai as officials, as well as liberating slaves and abolishing human sacrifices, they offended all the senior officials within the Shang Dynasty.
For example, appoint foreigners as officials.
At this time, many official positions are actually inherited by father and son. The emperor's son is appointed as an official with foreigners, which is to squeeze the positions of ordinary officials, and may even cause them to lose their hereditary official positions.
This offends most officials.
For example, the liberation of slaves.
Who can rely on to cultivate so many fields of princes? It is impossible to rely on civilians to cultivate them. Most of them rely on slaves, and there are many slaves in the army. Once the slaves are liberated, they will not only sever the financial resources of the princes, but also the military strength of the princes.
This offends most princes.
As for the final banned man sacrifice.
The priests mainly rely on murder and sacrifices to maintain their theocracy and ensure their mystery. Killing is a deterrent and a powerful means for them to deal with the enemy.
The emperor's son was moved by this rule.
Wouldn't it be natural to offend the priest?
Back then, his great-grandfather was killed by the sacrificial group in the name of martial virtue, let alone him.
