Chapter VI Western Zhou I
As mentioned in the previous document
Zhou Wu Wang Ji sent to destroy Shang and established Zhou
This week, King Wu is a smart man
After winning the world
There is no complacency
Instead, he repeatedly pondered the way to the demise of Yin Shang
Is it because he has no way to do business?
Is it because I'm Ji Fa Shuntian?
Should be
Not exactly
If the King has a group of die-hard people
It is divided around the national capital
There are also elite soldiers and strong generals under him
His world shouldn't be lost so easily
Experience
Learn
King Wu of Zhou implemented a sub-feudal system
handful
Someone close to you
Meritorious people
Crowned princes
to be in charge of various parts of Kyushu
Princes can command their troops
You can have your own private land
But
Be at the mercy of the Son of Heaven at all times
It is necessary to pay tribute and worship the Son of Heaven on a regular basis
Princes can be replaced from generation to generation
But
The Son of Heaven has the right to kill and seize the princes
The details are as follows
Jiang Ziya was sealed in Yingqiu (now Zibo, Shandong) and called Qi State
Zhou Gongdan was sealed in Qufu (now Qufu, Shandong) and called the Lu State
Zhao Gong was sealed in Youzhou (now Beijing) and called Yan Guo
And so on and so forth
Wait
In order to envelop the nobles of the Shang Kingdom
Wu Geng, the son of the king of Xu, was sealed in the old land of the Shang Kingdom
The noble subjects of the former Shang Kingdom were ruled by him
Sealed is sealed Wu Geng
But after all, this kid has a hatred for killing his father and a hatred for the country
It is still necessary to prevent it
It was divided into two pieces from the old land of the Shang Kingdom
A piece was sealed for my younger brother
It is called the governing country
A piece was given to the younger brother
It's called Cai Guo
End of separation
Everyone's hard work paid off that year
A down-and-out merchant by the Weishui River back then
Now he is the head of a country
The little brother of the year
Now it's also a hug
Everyone happily went to work
Zhou Gongdan (referred to as Zhou Gong) is no exception
Take care of your luggage
Come and say goodbye to Brother Wuwang
Something is wrong
My brother was a little sullen
What's going on
Hurry up and ask
Today is the day of the harvest
Everybody is so happy
Brother, why are you upset?
Well, this one
It's hard to say
What is there to say about our brothers
Although everyone has benefited
But brother, you are the lord of the world
The biggest benefit
You shouldn't be upset
Don't hide it from your brothers
There is something unspeakable for my brother
Everybody knows that
It's hard to fight the world
It's harder to rule the world
When I first fought the world
Old Jiang Tou and you are all there for me to give advice
Dedicated
I got where I am today
Now you all go to your fiefdoms and enjoy the blessings
I'm left alone to keep such a big stall
I'm worried
oh
such
Brother, wait a minute
After Zhou Gong returned home, he instructed his son Boyu to go to Lu State to seal it
trotted all the way to the palace
Brother
I handed it over to my son
Get started today
I'm here to help you
King Wu praised again and again
Good brother
Just waiting for your words
That's it
King Wu of Zhou was assisted by the Duke of Zhou
The country is governed in an orderly manner
The various princes also made regular pilgrimages
Pay tribute on time
The country is stable
The world is at peace
A few years later
King Wu of Zhou died of illness
Before his death, King Wu entrusted his son Chanting and the world's major affairs to Duke Zhou
Duke of Zhou buried King Wu
Raise the chant as the Son of Heaven
It is for King Zhou Cheng
King Cheng is young
It is inconvenient to govern
All military affairs were represented by Zhou Gong with full authority
Zhou Gong has been smart since childhood
He has been taught by King Wen Jichang for many years
When he became an adult, he assisted King Wu with Jiang Ziya to win the world
After the founding of King Wu
He is also King Wu's most powerful assistant in governing the country
Now acting for his nephew's country
It is even more conscientious
Go a long way
But Zhou Gong is not iron-clad
Even if it's covered in iron and hit a few nails
pressing matter
It's about finding talent
Help yourself govern the country
It's just about finding talent
It's not a small job
Not to mention the search for talents to govern the country
Zhou Gong always went into battle in person
Look closely
I can get over this level
can be used with confidence
There are a few times
Zhou Gong wants to wash his hair
Just soaked your hair
There's an interview coming
Quickly hold the hair of the ** and come out
After the interview, wash up
Just halfway through the wash
Another interview is coming
Grabbed his hair and went out again
It took several times to wash my hair
A few more times
Zhou Gong was eating
A piece of meat just went into the mouth
Here comes the interview
Spit out the meat right away
Go for an interview
Come back and eat again
Just chew a few bites
It's an interview again
Spit it out again
Go for an interview
When Zhou Gong can eat with peace of mind
He didn't know the piece of meat anymore
The next people look at it
Doubts in mind
My lord, why are you fighting?
Can't you make them wait a while
You don't know
Whoever comes must be a man of insight
If I neglect one
After passing it out
It will give a bad impression to the people of the world
If I treat people like this every time
Truly talented and learned
Surely they will come
A piece of meat counts as something
Zhou Gong is very hard
Zhou Gong worked hard
But there are many sluts in the world after all
Soon rumors spread
said that Zhou Gong worked so hard
It's to buy people's hearts
Attract talent
Prepare to replace King Cheng
At first, Zhou Gong didn't care too much
How can you walk at night without stepping on dog shit
But then things went wrong
Even Old Jiang Tou and Zhaogong were suspicious of themselves
It seems that you can't just lower your head and pull the cart
Zhou Gong gathered the big guys together
Speak from the bottom of your heart
How I am
I don't say
You see it
How hard I worked for the Zhou Dynasty
I don't say
The world has its own public opinion
I can pick and choose
But the king is so small
If I don't do it
Who will take care of the country this week
You have come to your fiefdom to enjoy your blessings
I'm working for all of you
Care
What do you guys think?
Everyone listened to what Zhou Gong said, and it was indeed reasonable
Besides, Zhou Gong's personality is also well-known
Again
If he doesn't do it
There will be chaos in the future
No one is immune
I will no longer be suspicious of Zhou Gong
So here's the problem
Where did this rumor come from?
We'll move on to that next time
Last time
Zhou Gongan appeased the old minister
We have done a good job of internal unity
And he freed his hand
It's time to find out the source of the rumors
It doesn't matter
It turned out that the rumor came from his two younger brothers
It was sent by King Wu to monitor Wu Geng's freshness and degree
Zhou Cheng was embarrassed how to deal with these two brothers
Wu Geng found the two brothers first
Two older brothers
I know you and I don't deal with it
But now Zhou Gong has traced the rumors and found out to you
This old guy is usually gentle
But you've gone too far by tidying up people
Surely he will not spare you
What do you think
Come with me and do the opposite
After the deed is done
We divide the world equally
The two of them weigh the pros and cons
That's it
simply rebelled against Wu Geng
King Wu never dreamed of it
The police officers who were sent escaped from prison along with the violent criminals
Don't underestimate the rebellion of these three people
Since the succession of kings
Many forces in remote places are waiting for an opportunity
Look at someone taking the lead
They also raised their troops in response
The newly established Zhou Dynasty
The first crisis was ushered in
Fortunately, Zhou Gong was decisive enough
To such bad actors
Resolute repression
After three years of conquest
Wu Geng was killed
Uncle was defeated and committed suicide
Degree was captured and exiled
The armed forces in those remote areas were also crushed one by one
Duke Zhou also took advantage of the situation to expand his territory
Since then, no one in the world dares to covet the throne of the Son of Heaven
The Zhou Dynasty began a period of prosperity
Zhou Pingping rebelled
Like his brother, he learned the lessons
As a result, it was
The capital is too far west
You can't take care of the whole country as a whole
It was decided to build another capital city to the east
thereupon
After asking the heavens and the earth about the ghosts and gods
Luoyi (present-day Luoyang, Henan) was chosen
After almost nine years of construction
A majestic capital city was built
Since then, the Zhou Dynasty has had an additional capital
The old capital city of Hokyo is called Zongzhou (Western Capital)
The new capital city is called Chengzhou (Eastern Capital)
Cheng Wang Ju Zong Zhou
Zhou Gong sat in charge of Cheng Zhou
Since then, the Zhou Dynasty has stabilized
After the death of Duke Zhou
King Cheng buried him with the gift of the Son of Heaven
My uncle died
The nephew has also grown up
King Cheng is assisted by Zhao Gong
Gradually, he began to fulfill the responsibility of the Son of Heaven
Wait until after the summoning of the prince to return to heaven
King Cheng has become the king of a country that can control the world
At that time, the royal power of the world was completely controlled by the Son of Heaven
It is until the death of King Cheng
King Kang succeeded to the throne
The majesty of the Son of Heaven continues
Under the reign of King Cheng and King Kang for more than 40 years
The Zhou Dynasty was politically clear
The economy is booming
It is known in history as the rule of Chengkang
This prosperity continued until King Zhao, the son of King Kang, succeeded to the throne
This King Zhou Zhao
Similar to Xia Dynasty Taikang
Grew up in a small palace
I have not suffered hardship
Since childhood, I have seen my father majestic above the court
The princes of all walks of life paid tribute and worshiped year after year
After he became the Son of Heaven
That's what I learned
Plus eat, drink and be merry
National affairs are never ignored
The Zhou Dynasty gradually declined
The princes who were divided into feudal lords gradually disrespected the Son of Heaven
King Zhao also has a special hobby
I just like exotic flowers and plants
Exotic animals
You have to know where there is something you haven't seen before
I'm going to get it anyway
One day, the state of Chu sent an envoy to meet him
It is said that the king of Chu got a precious white pheasant
I wanted to dedicate it to the Son of Heaven
Helplessly, the road is far away
I'm afraid it's a loss
So Lao invited the Son of Heaven to come and watch
It's a rarity
This Chu State
It was also a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty
But these years
They cultivated the land
Martial arts training
Annexed quite a few small surrounding countries
The tribute to the Son of Heaven is also less than a year
Two years ago
King Zhao also sent troops to attack the Chu State because of this matter
Naturally, the ministers did not agree with the southern tour of the Son of Heaven
It's not just for the white pheasant to go on a shameful trip
I am also afraid that the state of Chu has different intentions to harm King Zhao
Na Cheng wanted to see that there were birds that he had never seen as soon as he heard about it
I can't control myself anymore
Do not listen to the ministers to dissuade
Ordered a southern tour
King Zhao though a bastard
But I'm also afraid of death
Before the southern tour, he brought a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals
This group of people is mighty
Go south to see the birds
This journey has made people along the way miserable
and you have to take care of food and shelter
and they will work and do their labor
Walked for many days
A large river appeared in front of me
The river is not wide
The current is fast
Inquire nearby
It's time to Hanshui
If you want to get to Chu, you have to pass from here
It's not simple
King Zhao looked around for fishing boats
It took two days to get the guy over
Han Shui is over
The humiliation also came
The king of Chu was simply playing with him
Oops
I say
You believe what people say
Your IQ
What else do you do?
In the heat of the moment
King Zhao ordered the siege of the city
Since people dare to take off your clothes
I'm not afraid of rolling around with your bare ass
Several attacks
Zhou Jun didn't get it at all
It's also too shameless
It doesn't matter if the bird doesn't see it
What matters is that people don't bird you at all
The Chu army couldn't beat it
I can't beat the common people
King Zhao's army plundered the people on the way out
The harvest is also quite rich
On this day, I came to Hanshui again
The results are good
Not a single boat is gone
it doesn't matter
Listen to me, everybody
Within three days
Get me thirty boats
otherwise
lawfully kill on sight
Don't say that this son of heaven is really majestic
Three days later
Thirty boats were sent by the villagers
King Zhao was satisfied and led the team on board
With a big wave of his hand
Cross the river
Look at the heroic soldiers in front of you
It seems that behind the abundant loot
King Zhao closed his eyes triumphantly
This is the way to fight
Still a little tired
I didn't walk much, though
But the legs are still a little weak
Wrong
Why are the legs soft and still wet
Open your eyes and take a look
Not good
The boat leaked
Look around again
These thirty boats turned into more than thirty flowers
Blooming in the middle of the Han River
What's going on
It turned out that the fishermen by the Han River hated King Zhao to death
They glued the planks into a boat
After entering the water
The gum melts
The boat turned into planks
This week's army is all from the north
Not accustomed to water
One by one, they all sank to the bottom and fed Wang Ba
King Zhao is not far behind
Holding his fat body, he went straight to the bottom of the river
At this time, a guard who knew how to water rushed over
Dragged King Zhao to the shore
I'm sorry
It was to drag King Zhao's body to the shore
Here it is
A generation of Zhou Tianzi
Death to see the bird's way
