In ancient times, the human race was born in the earth, and at the beginning, there was no connection between the various tribes of the human race, until one day a person called "Tao" suddenly appeared.

After the emergence of the "Dao", it went around teaching these scattered tribes how to survive, so that these scattered tribes continued to integrate together.

Small primitive tribes and small regions are constantly uniting with other tribes, melting and expanding, forming a large-scale association.

The emergence of the "Dao" has gradually united the people of this land, especially after the "Dao" passed down the method of fishing, mulberry and fire, the civilization process of the human race has been greatly improved, the survival ability has been greatly improved, and it has the ability to fight with all kinds of beasts.

The tribes also began to unite continuously.

Just after the various tribes united with the help of the "Dao" and established a huge union, the "Dao" suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

The disappearance of the "Dao" made these tribes feel anxious, and they sent people everywhere to find this prophet who led them to civilization, but in the end they found nothing.

The appearance of "Dao" is like a meteor across the sky, destined to bring civilization to the nascent human race, and after the task is completed, he will naturally disappear.

No one knows where the Tao came from, what the purpose of the coming is, and what the true name of the Tao is, but that he called himself the Tao when he appeared.

After the disappearance of the "Dao", the tribes that were originally united became more and more powerful, and the leaders of this alliance were selected from among the leaders of each tribe, among which the noble ones became the "emperors".

The "emperor" led this consortium to become stronger and stronger against strong enemies.

In this way, three hundred years later, the "emperor" also changed five positions one after another, after the fifth "emperor" came to the end of his life.

A person named Xia appeared in the tribe, and Xia's tribe gradually learned to use bronze tools under Xia's leadership, making Xia's tribe more and more powerful.

After the fifth "emperor" left this world.

According to the original system, the Xia tribe, which had the highest moral character among the tribes and was also the most powerful, became the royal family, and Xia became the sixth "emperor".

Soon, he used the strength of his tribe to integrate all the tribes and establish the first dynasty in the history of the human race: Xia.

The establishment of the Xia Dynasty represented a new starting point for the civilization of the human race, and the "public world" has since become the "family world".

After Xia set the world, the Xia Emperor divided the world into nine states, so that the state pastor of Kyushu contributed bronze, cast nine tripods, symbolizing Kyushu, and also engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state, and concentrated Jiuding in the capital of the Xia Dynasty, it is said that on the day of the nine tripods, heaven and earth have sensed the auspiciousness.

As a result, some tribes that opposed the establishment of the Xia dynasty no longer objected and recognized the status of Xia.

The Xia Dynasty existed for a total of 417 years, and during these 417 years, the Xia Dynasty expanded the territory of the human race to the maximum, from the first Kyushu to 12 states.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, it continued to expand its influence, and the southern and northern wars finally pacified the east and west.

However, the Xia Dynasty, which was extremely powerful, could not get rid of the road of destruction after all, and the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty was unbridled and tyrannical.

The tyranny of the Ji led to the death of the people all over the world, so there was a tribe called Shang in the south of the country who united many tribes who were dissatisfied with the Ji and launched a war against the Ji.

The war lasted for three years, and under the leadership of Cheng Tang, the leader of the Shang tribe, he finally defeated the Shang and established a regime called the Shang.

After Cheng Tang's complete victory, he promulgated a series of benevolent measures, so that all the princes were subject to Shang Tang, and Tang ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven and pacified the twelve states.

At this moment, the Rong Di clan gradually appeared in the north, and no one knew how the Rong Di clan appeared, as if the extremely powerful Rong Di clan appeared in the northern prairie overnight.

As soon as the Rong Di clan appeared, they showed extremely strong aggression and constantly attacked the Shang Dynasty, for which the third son of the Shang Dynasty, Taijia, personally led the country's army north out of the grassland after communicating heaven and earth through the altar.

With the assistance of Yi Yin and others, it took ten years for the army under Taijia's personal command to completely defeat the Rong Di clan that mysteriously appeared from the Northland grassland, so that the Rong Di clan was severely injured and could not pose any threat to Shang Zai.

After the heavy blow to the Rongdi and the two clans, the final Shang dynasty has always sent one of the most elite troops in the northland grassland: the division of Jiuyi, which has been responsible for striking at the Rongdi and the two tribes in the northland grassland and suppressing the living space of the Rongdi and the two tribes.

In this way, five hundred years passed, until the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Di Xin, who was determined to protect the security of the Shang Dynasty at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, so that the military strength of the Shang Dynasty reached its peak, and for a while, no one could threaten the foundation of the Shang Dynasty.

So Di Xin began to be content with pleasure, and there was a lot of mourning in the government and the opposition, but because Di Xin trained an extremely powerful army at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, no one in the Quartet dared to compete with Di Xin.

It wasn't until the Rongdi clan in the northland grassland made a comeback that Di Xin had to send the main army to suppress the Rong Di clan, and Di Xin, who had lost the main army, began to taste the bitter fruits of his own pleasure.

Zhou Hou, located in the land of Sanchuan, issued the tyrannical and unscrupulous and unbridled text of Emperor Xin, and established the Zhou Dynasty after the defeat of Emperor Xin's army after the Battle of Makino.

Since then, the position of human emperor has fallen into the hands of the ancestor of Zhou Zheng's body.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it quickly attracted the Jiuyi division that was originally stationed in the north, and once again expelled the Rongdi and the two clans.

Then the Great Zhou began to divide the princes, in order to consolidate the position of the emperor of the Great Zhou, after the Great Zhou divided the princes, its own princes to replace the Son of Heaven to govern the place, when the Zhou Son of Heaven was recruited, these princes must not have any excuse to refuse, when the Son of Heaven is in danger, these princes must also immediately raise troops to serve the king.

After Zhou Xuan, the twelfth son of heaven in the Great Zhou, succeeded to the throne, there was a sudden turmoil in the Great Zhou.

Soon after King Zhou You succeeded to the throne, a major earthquake occurred in the land of Sanchuan.

After hearing the news, Taishi Boyang's father at that time just said silently: "The decline and fall of Zhou began here, and the great prosperity of Zhou also originated here." ”

Within a few years after King Zhou You succeeded to the throne, he began to sing songs every night, until he got a beautiful woman named Bao Xi, and he began to favor Bao Xi.

Although Bao Xi is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, she has never smiled, and King Zhou You began to desperately want to see Bao Xi's smile.

But all the methods I tried were useless.

At that time, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in Hojing, where there was no strategic buffer from the Northland grassland, except for some passes and a wasteland.

At this time, the Rong Di clan was already very powerful, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the beginning of the founding of the country to the north Rong Di had an effective attack, since then the Great Zhou began to continue to refine the internal affairs, did not effectively curb the Rong Di clan.

Therefore, King You of Zhou agreed with the princes to build a tall earthen fort on the main road, and set up a big drum on it, so that the drum can be heard from far and near. If the Rongdi clan invaded, it would be announced by beating drums from near and far, and the armies of the princes would come to the rescue of the Son of Heaven.

Once a small-scale cavalry invasion of the Rongdi clan, King Zhou You beat the drum, and the princes' armies arrived as promised, annihilating the Rongdi cavalry that broke into the vicinity of Haojing.

Bao Xi was very happy when he saw it, and showed his smile, he liked Zhou Youwang's approach very much, Zhou Youwang wanted to see Bao You's smile, so he beat the drum repeatedly, and the princes' armies came many times, but there were no enemy soldiers.

Later, the Rongdi clan really invaded, and King Zhou You beat the drum, but the army of the princes no longer came, so King Zhou You was killed in Haojing, and Zhou Tianzi's authority was swept away.

After the death of King Zhou You, the princes sent troops to drive the Rongdi clan back to the north, but the princes also paid a considerable price, with countless casualties.

Although Hojing was recaptured, the prestige of the Son of Heaven has been declining, and even some princes are a little eyeing of the throne of Zhou Tianzi.

But King Zhou Ding, who immediately ascended the throne, made all the calculations of these careerists fail.

King Zhou Ding's real name is Zhou Ding, the only son of King You, and also the most accomplished king since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Then he began to implement the "Tui En Decree", which allowed the princes to divide their land among their children, and only need to announce the Son of Heaven.

After King Zhou Ding's move came out, he immediately won the favor of the princes and won the support of most of the princes.

These princes then began to divide their lands among their courtiers who had meritorious service to them, as well as to heirs who had no succession candidates.

Not long after the "Tui En Order" came out, the princes' wanton division of feuds set all kinds of bitter fruits, and various contradictions were highlighted, so that King Zhou Ding solved the problems of the princes in one fell swoop, and took back all the land that had been divided before, thus emptying the princes of various vassal states.

After the problem of the princes becoming big was solved, Zhou Tianzi directly sent officials to accept the original power of the princes, so that the princes had no name but no power.

Subsequently, King Zhou Dingwang implemented a series of inventions, papermaking is one of them, arithmetic, geometry, poetry, steel, etc. were popularized by King Zhou Ding.

In particular, the emergence of paper and steel greatly improved the cultural strength and military strength of the Great Zhou, allowing the Great Zhou to begin to move from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.

In terms of culture, King Ding of Zhou simplified the fonts handed down from ancient times, created simplified characters, and invented pinyin to integrate the economy and culture of the various vassal states of the Great Zhou.

A series of political systems were formulated to restore all the power originally dispersed to the princes to the hands of the Son of Heaven, in addition to the threat to the Rongdi and the two clans.

At the end of his reign, King Zhou Ding built the Great Wall outside the Saiwai, linking all important passes together through the Great Wall.

Since then, the Great Zhou has become stronger and stronger, and it has been passed to this generation that it is already the seventeenth son of the Great Zhou, Zhou Wei, the king of Zhou Zhouhong, that is, Zhou Zheng's biological father.
