The black-robed man frowned: "You are talking about King Wu Ding of Shang and his famous general and queen, Fu Hao, right? I know that Fu Hao once led an army to defeat Gui Fang, but I don't know how he fought.
I’m not sure, can you please give me some advice, ancestor?”
The ancestor nodded and said: "In fact, in the Shang Dynasty, after the death of Cheng Tang, the scale of human sacrifice began to gradually increase. Taijia wanted to sacrifice people on a large scale, but Yi Yin stopped him, and for a time he took away
His throne was imprisoned in Tong Palace. Later, Taijia was released by Yi Yin after he surrendered. But after Yi Yin's death, no one could stop the large-scale sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty, because this was a tradition started by the Shang tribe.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, Chengtang and Yiyin promised to respect their
The customs and traditions of other tribes prevented large-scale human sacrifices. However, after they passed away one after another, no one could stop large-scale human sacrifices in the Shang Dynasty. Starting from Taijia, the number of human sacrifices used in a sacrifice was
From dozens of people, to hundreds, or even thousands, and this is only the official large sacrifice. As for the private sacrifices of nobles and even ordinary people, there are even more. This has an impact on the number of human sacrifices.
, the demand is getting bigger and bigger.”
"I said before that the reason why the Shang Dynasty kept moving its capital was not only because of the floods in the Yellow River, but also because of their large-scale sacrifices and killing of humans and animals. However, not all the souls of the humans and animals would be given to their ancestors and
The gods enjoy it, and most souls will become lonely ghosts, wandering around the world, constantly causing harm.
In order to cover up this truth, the nobles and upper-class nobles of the Shang Dynasty issued an edict to the world, saying that these were the ghosts of the remaining parties of the Xia Dynasty. They were not willing to lose the country, so they kept trying to curse the Shang Dynasty, from the king to
The common people have all been cursed, so the curse of the Shang Dynasty will not stop until the Xia Dynasty clears them out."
"This caused the Shang Dynasty from top to bottom, especially the common people, to blame this hatred on the Xia Dynasty survivors, and the upper-class nobles also had the need for large-scale sacrifices, so they used the Qiang people to take in the Xia Dynasty
The remnants of the Qiang people launched a large-scale war against the Qiang people. This war started from Taijia and lasted for hundreds of years. The reason why the Zhou tribe came to seek refuge with the Shang Dynasty and left the barbarian homeland where they had lived for hundreds of years was
It was also because I heard that the Shang Dynasty's war against the Qiang people was too cruel. Some large Qiang tribes were even killed by the entire tribe, or all of them were sacrificed. This made people who had followed the Xia Dynasty become high-ranking officials.
The Zhou tribe was so frightened that they took the initiative to surrender to the Shang Dynasty before the Shang army came. They obtained the land of Zhouyuan and restored their ancestral farming skills. It can be said to be an unexpected blessing. "
Doupeng breathed a long sigh of relief: "So, the Zhou tribe saw that the situation was not good. If the Shang Dynasty army came over, they would probably be regarded as the remnants of the Xia Dynasty and be wiped out. However, they surrendered to the Shang Dynasty.
, does the Shang Dynasty just trust them and not care about their past?"
The ancestor sneered and said: "How can you not care about it? Even if you go up the mountain to become a bandit, you still have to hand over the surrender certificate to show your sincerity. The surrender certificate of the Zhou tribe is for the Shang Dynasty's continuous westward expedition to the Qiang tribe's army.
As a forerunner, they
Being familiar with the distribution and strength of the Qiang tribes can provide the most needed information for the Shang army coming from afar. It was only with the help of the Zhou tribes that the Shang Dynasty could continuously win victories over the Western Qiang tribes within one or two hundred years.
,same
At that time, they expanded their territory to a larger and larger area. However, these Guanlong lands were not something that the Shang Dynasty could stably own for a long time. They always came and wiped out dozens of Qiang tribes and captured tens of thousands of Qiang prisoners.
Killed thousands more Qiang
After the Qiang people, these lands moistened with blood were handed over to the management of foreign tribes who were as willing to be loyal to the Shang Dynasty as the Zhou tribes. The evil name of the Shang army, together with those terrible temples and sacrificial rituals, was engraved on the Qiang people
in my heart."
"Not only the Qiang tribes, but also the Di tribe in the north will also be attacked by the Shang Dynasty. Of course, the real survivors of the Xia Dynasty, the Xiongnu tribe led by Chunwei, have already arrived in Mobei, and no one knows about their
origin, and
In the northwest, many nomadic tribes in Hetao and Hexi were also attacked by the Shang army. At this time, the so-called pursuit of the survivors of the Xia Dynasty was just an excuse. What the Shang Dynasty really wanted was endless sacrifices.
It’s just about appreciating human sacrifices.”
"As a result, all the grassland tribes were also in panic. In the past, they used to be bandits who robbed homes and kept attacking the Central Plains. But now, such a terrifying and bloody opponent appeared. So after the grassland tribes carried out ineffective resistance, they could only
forced to flee
Leaving, heading west, heading north, but this time, some grassland tribes encountered a group of powerful tribes on the way to escape. That was another eastward advance of the Guifang Tribe Alliance and the successor of the Aryans.
After conquering Tianzhu, another powerful wave came."
The black robe frowned: "Didn't this Guifang tribe suffer most of their losses during the great flood controlled by Dayu, and were forced to flee in the end? Why did they come back during the Shang Dynasty?
"
The ancestor sneered and said: "Everything has a cause and a result. The Guifang tribe's comeback this time was guided by a new force, that is, in Wang Hai, the Yi family was massacred in the Shangjiawei era.
, of course, by this time they had changed their clan name to Yaomin."
Doupeng murmured to himself: "Shaking the people? I remember that after the Yi clan destroyed the country, He Bo couldn't bear it and let some of the clan members go to that desolate place where no one was and where wild beasts roamed.
They re-established their own tribe, could it be that they went to the land of the Guifang tribe?"
The ancestor waved his hand: "No, no, although the Guifang tribe is ferocious, it is not a desolate and uninhabited land. The people are going to the north of Mobei, an extremely cold and freezing place, where there is ice and snow, and there is no sky all year round.
day, can only use the water under the ice
They ate fish. The place where the Han envoy Su Wu was located was where these shaken people later gathered. For hundreds of years, the ice and snow and the biting cold could not eliminate their hatred for the Shang tribe. However, the tragic situation when the country was massacred and the tribe was exterminated.
Let them not
Dare to go back to seek revenge from the Shang tribe. In this way, after being isolated from the world for hundreds of years, they accidentally learned that the Shang Dynasty had established itself on behalf of Xia. At this time, they were fighting a terrible war with the Qiang Alliance and the grassland tribes.
When the patriarch and priests of the Yi family were conducting divination to decide whether to flee or fight, He Bo appeared and said that only a mysterious power from the west could save the Yi family, and this power,
