The black robe frowned: "Why did the Shang Dynasty begin to decline? Didn't the Evil Heaven Emperor ask the Shang army to fight everywhere and capture enough people for sacrifices for them? Why did the Evil Heaven Emperor after Wu Yi, it was the Evil Heaven Emperor
Should the Shang King enfeoff the four-sided guard Fang Bo no longer fights and expands? Didn’t he know that if he pretended to others, he would sooner or later fatten these four-sided men and women and bite the Shang Dynasty?”
The ancestor sighed and said, "Because Wu Yi's actions of shooting the sky and killing the ghost side made the evil emperor and the Shang king disintegrate. The Shang king felt that this ancestor was too evil, and he told the Shang king.
Kill it if you kill it. It would rather protect the Guifang tribe, but because of its powerful magic power, other ancestors and gods are not opponents, so they can only tolerate it for the time being. As for the Evil Heaven Emperor, I also feel that the Shang King, as the Human Emperor, had a strange intention and was not that good to him.
The land was obedient, and might even want to harm him by destroying the ghost side, so he did not support the Shang army to continue going out to fight, which made the Shang king's power grow bigger and bigger. In his opinion, as long as there are enough people to sacrifice.
Human sacrifice guarantees the magic power of the gods of the Shang Dynasty. Even if the princes who were big on the border have different intentions, they can be eliminated at any time, so there is no need to worry."
"What the ancestors and gods of the Shang Dynasty wanted was to keep sacrifices for humans and animals, and they wanted to maintain their existence through sacrifices. These sacrifices were their food rations. If they didn't eat them, they would die, but as long as they had them.
Eat, everything else is easy to discuss. The Evil Emperor used this to allow other tribes to capture human sacrifices to replace Shang Dynasty hunting, which could limit the power of the Shang king to being unable to challenge.
And the threat of him, because if there is no war, the Shang army will not be formed, and the Shang king will not be able to unite and contact the upper nobles and middle and lower-level Chinese people and gentry, and will not be able to unite and deal with this evil emperor together."
The cloak gritted his teeth: "But the consequences of the envoy and war granting the power of war to outsiders and other surnames, can no one in the Shang Dynasty see clearly? Since ancient times, only the strong soldiers and horses have become the emperor. If the emperor cannot fight, then
How to make a fuck? We will soon replace others. For example, this Zhou Kingdom, with their current strength and reputation, it will be a matter of time before the Shang Dynasty."
The ancestor sneered: "So, starting from Wen Ding, the Shang kings who had been in a row for decades were obeying the orders of the Evil Heaven Emperor, and almost always acted according to his will. No one wanted to strike lightning like Wu Yi.
He could only obediently become a puppet for him to issue orders in the world. Under the guidance of the Evil Heaven Emperor, King Wending of Shang not only made Zhou Bojili a priest and commanded the Western military and political power, but also made Jili start to attack continuously and attack all the dogs around him.
The Rong tribe expelled Quan Rong, who had entered Guanzhong, and they wanted to use this method of driving tigers and fighting wolves to create conflicts between Zhou and other Rongdi tribes around him, so that Zhou was trapped in bloody battles and revenge in Guanzhong.
It is impossible to unify the Guanzhong tribes."
"But the Evil Emperor still miscalculated. After decades of war, especially after the Great Destruction of the Ghost, the level and ability of the war were further improved. Zhou State adopted a marriage with the Western Qiang tribe, and was
They regarded it as the leader and concentrated their efforts to attack the Rongdi tribes of Quanrong and Guifang, which were from the northern grasslands. Within a few years, they fought against large areas from Zhouyuan to western Guanzhong, and almost no Rongdi tribe could exist.
Now.”
"These defeated Quanrong and Guifang tribes were either expelled or conquered, captured and killed their leaders, annexed their tribesmen, and at the same time handed over some of the prisoners to the Shang Dynasty as sacrifices, while the other part remained as Zhou
After learning about the terrible ending of the tribes who were taken to sacrifice by the Shang Dynasty, the prisoners and slaves who remained in the Zhou tribe all took the initiative to die with Zhou and would rather give it to Zhou.
He was unwilling to devote himself to the Shang Dynasty, even his soul would become the food for the ancestors of the merchants and ghosts and gods."
Hei Rou smiled and said, "So that's it. We always thought that Zhou State relied on capturing the Qiang people of the same clan and offered them to the Shang Dynasty as a sacrifice. Now we know that they still protect the Western Qiang people of the same clan and truly exchanged with each other.
The majority of people from the Northern Di tribes such as Guifang and Quanrong were given to the Shang Dynasty. Then the question arises. Among the people in the Shang Dynasty, there were a large number of Qiang people, even the largest number. Where did these Qiang people come from?
What came here?"
The ancestor curled his lips and said, "At that time, the tribes in Guanzhong and Guanxi attacked each other, hunted and offered prisoners. The Xiangying tribe prefers to stay with Quanrong to attack the Western Qiang tribe, Chongguo
There are also many Western Qiang tribes that are relatively weak. Most of the Qiang prisoners in the Shang Dynasty were captured by these Guanxi princes. Of course, every time Chonghou of all dynasties took advantage of the opportunity to offer prisoners, he would secretly go with the Shang king.
The Zhou Kingdom and the Qiang people colluded with each other and planned ill-behavior things, but the Shang army was unlikely to be dispatched at this time, so they could only hear such words as if they were not heard. For the Shang King and the Evil Heaven Emperor, as long as there is
There were enough people to sacrifice, no matter how he came from, soon, even the pacification of the Rongdi in Bingzhou would be handed over to Zhou Bojili."
Black Rou widened her eyes and said in surprise: "What, even fighting in Bingzhou has to be handed over to Ji Li to command? Are these evil emperors and Wen Ding confused? Giving Zhou Bo Ji Li the entire Guanzhong is not enough, Bingzhou also wants to give it to him.
he?"
The ancestor said calmly: "In your opinion, this will allow Ji Li to gain greater benefits and benefits, but in the view of Shang Wang Wending and Xie Tiandi, in Bingzhou, the Zhou army was going to work hard to expedition, and there were no Western Qiang tribes in the local area.
Allies like the Alliance, southwestern cities controlled by the Shang army can choose to deal with the situation and give some supplies to the Zhou army, or choose not to give them, but will not send troops to help. In this way, the Zhou army has no food and grass,
In the state of no allies outside, in Jinzhong, Jinbei and other places where Rongdi are powerful and even the Shang army cannot easily defeat them, fight against Fang Rong and Zhao Rong, even if the Zhou army can win, it will be a big step away.
Skin."
Dou Peng laughed and said, "It sounds like on the difficult battlefield preset by the Shang Dynasty, letting the Zhou army fight hard to weaken its strength. Even if it wins, it will not be able to gain a foothold in Bingzhou and occupy a land. This is the same as
It is different in Guanxi. It seems that Wen Ding wanted to kill people with a knife, so he simply let the barbarians in Bingzhou destroy Zhou Bojili."
Black robe frowned: "But in the end, Ji Li was not destroyed. There are only a few words in history books about this matter, just saying that Ji Li later defeated Rong Di in Bingzhou and captured several Rong Di leaders.
Thousands of tribesmen even went to Chaoge to offer prisoners to Shang Wang Wending. Is there any accident in the middle?” (The end of this chapter)
