Chapter 18: The Death of King Xia

readx;? And Shang Hou saw that the situation was not good, and did not contribute to the death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info took the initiative to dedicate Xiayi City to Han Xun, Han Xun originally intended to move the capital to Xiayi, so he still guarded the Shang Dynasty and did not blame him. The basis here is that if he dies and Shang is on the front line, I am afraid that he will be wiped out, and there will be no future rule over the world.

In the nineteenth year of Hanxun, in 2156 BC, Hanchuan took advantage of the victory and marched to attack the Guanguan clan. The leader of the Guanguan clan, Shan Mu Ding, heard that he had been killed in battle, and was about to raise troops to avenge him, but now he learned that the Han army had invaded his territory again, and he was furious and immediately led his army to meet him. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle by boat on the Wei River (in present-day Weifang, Shandong). At that time, the Wei River was deep and rapid, and the water surface was wide, which was suitable for water warfare. Most of his army did not understand the nature of the water, and could only fight the enemy on the boat. Taking advantage of this weakness of the Xia army, Han Dou sent dozens of sailors to dive underwater and scuttle through Xi Muding's warship. The Xia army was very panicked when they saw the warship leaking, and the Han army took the opportunity to attack and kill, and the Xia army's large tribe drowned, and the survivors were also killed. He was also killed by the Han army in the melee. The main force of the Irrigation Clan was wiped out.

In the twentieth year of Han Xun, that is, in 2155 BC, Han Xun destroyed the two major princes of the Xia Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty. Xia Wangxiang led the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist desperately, but in the end, due to the weak strength, he could not stop the powerful offensive of the Han army. The Han army broke through the irrigation and brutally slaughtered the soldiers and civilians in the city and the ministers of the Xia Hou clan, and Han Xun ordered his son to kill the emperor. King Xia and his clansmen were all killed by the Han army, and blood flowed inside and outside the palace. The city was reduced to ruins, so it was also called Diqiu (meaning the tomb of the king, which is not the same thing as Shangqiu).

At this point, King Xia reigned for a total of 28 years, the Xia Dynasty officially died, and the ruling area of the Xia Dynasty was all controlled by Han Xun.

In 2155, Hanxun moved its capital to Xiayi (Xiayi County, Shangqiu, Henan).

The old minister Bo Mi fled to the Youqi tribe (the vassal state of the Xia Dynasty, in the northwest of Pingyuan County, present-day Dezhou City, Shandong).

Han Xun thought that he had killed all the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, but he never expected that the Xia Wangxiang, who was already pregnant with his concubine, would unknowingly climb out of the water hole under the city wall. Hou Yi was originally the daughter of Youyou, but she disguised herself as a peasant woman and fled back to her mother's home, Youyouyi (now south of Jining City, Shandong).

In the twenty-first year of Hanxun, that is, in 2154 BC, Xiang's concubine Hou Yi gave birth to a boy named Shaokang.

Shaokang grew up in his grandfather's house, pseudonym Du Kang, and became the Mu Zheng (official in charge of animal husbandry) of Youyouguo, during which Shaokang was good at winemaking, and later called Du Kang Wine Saint.

In the fortieth year of Han Xun, that is, in 2135 BC, Shaokang's identity was leaked, and the news spread to Dou there, and Pour Pepper chased him. When he was about to reach Youyi's clan, Shaokang heard the news and fled to Youyu's clan (now southwest of Yucheng County, Shangqiu, Henan). Youyu is a vassal state that inherited Emperor Shun's incense.

In the forty-first year of Hanxun, in 2134 BC, Shaokang became the chef of the monarch and cured his illness incognito. Fei Si appreciated him very much, and gave him a woman surnamed Yao from two royal families as a wife, and also gave him Lunyi (now east of Yucheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan), and rewarded him with ten hectares of fertile land and 500 soldiers.

Shaokang was a man of great kindness among the people, and at the same time he had an extraordinary strategy to subdue the people of Xia Di and give them proper official positions.

Shaokang did not forget his father's hatred and the humiliation of the country, studied literature and martial arts diligently, made friends with warriors and virtuous ministers all over the world, and prepared strength for the restoration of the country.

In the fifty-fifth year of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 2120 BC, the old minister of the Xia Dynasty, who fled to the Youqi clan, secretly contacted the remaining people of the Shen and Guan clans, led them to defect to Shaokang, formed a restored army, and declared war on the Han State. Han Xun relied on the courage of the poured ten thousand people, sang every day, completely forgetting the danger and was not at all guarded.

In the fifty-seventh year of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 2118 BC, Bo Mi set out from the Youqi clan to lead the combined forces of the two clans of the Shen Shu clan and the Guan clan to defeat Han Xun.

The coalition forces are weak, the Han country is strong, and the military talent of the water is too powerful, if you want to defeat the cold country, you must get rid of the water.

Shaokang's headquarters sent the general Ru Ai to conquer the city, and told Ru Ai that if he wanted to defeat Dou, he could only outwit him.

After Han Xun married Chunhu, he gave birth to a son and died early, leaving a widowed woman named Nuqi. Dow forcibly occupied her. Go to her every day. And the women sew and mend their clothes for it, and they live together.

So Ru Ai took advantage of the lack of people and was defenseless, and sent people to attack at night and cut off the head of the water, but the pouring force was infinite, and he desperately ran away. Ai is like hunting, and he releases dogs to chase and intercept him. Finally found the water, and shot the water to death with a bow and arrow. Ai beheaded the people, and the cold army passing through the city was frightened and surrendered without a fight. Ai Desheng returned to his teacher and came to recover his life from Xiang Shao.

In the fifty-ninth year of Han Xun, that is, in 2116 BC, Shao Kang ordered his eldest son Yu to lead the troops to attack Yiyi, and Han Xun's second son Han Xi led the troops to meet the battle, but was defeated by the Xia army, Shao Kang killed Han Xi and recovered Yiyi.

Shaokang's restoration army successively conquered the two major feudal states of Hanxun and recovered most of Henan.

In the sixty years of Hanxun, that is, in 2115 BC, after Hanxun's two wings were destroyed, he was isolated and helpless, and Shaokangshuai's army attacked Hanxun's old nest Xiayi. At this time, Han Xun was 88 years old and had no power to fight, so he could only hide in the deep palace to survive. His subordinates saw that the general trend was gone, and in order to leave a way for themselves and their families to live, they suddenly rebelled when the Xia army was besieging the city, entered the palace, pulled Han Xun out of the concubine's bed with his bare buttocks, opened the city gate and dedicated him to Shaokang. Shaokang ordered him to be executed, and at the same time ordered the Hanxun clan to be exterminated. Bo Mi killed Han Xun with his own hands.

In the Restoration War led by Shaokang, his son gave the greatest credit. Since their enemies were known for their ability to shoot arrows, they invented the use of animal skins to make armor, cutting rhinoceros skins and cowhides into small squares, and connecting them with ropes to form leather armor for self-defense. After the soldier wears it, it can cover the enemy's arrows, and the combat effectiveness is greatly enhanced, which is the founding of the Chinese battle armor. After having the armor, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers increased greatly, and the Xia Dynasty actively expanded externally, and the Xia Dynasty also entered its heyday. He also improved the spear to make it sharper. He was shrewd and capable, specially trained to use spears and shields to fight the enemy, won victories one after another, and completed the great cause of recovering the Xia Dynasty with his father Shaokang. At this point, the poor countries that had controlled the Central Plains for nearly 100 years finally collapsed.

Han Xun was a veritable monarch of the Xia Dynasty, who actually unified the whole country, and the people lived a prosperous life during his reign. It's just because he has a bad reputation that he turned his back on the lord and came to power and killed the master's entire family, which is very different from Hou Yi's independence after coming to power and not following the king's orders, and it is not difficult to be the master. Chinese history, with the Confucianism of Confucius as the main body, excluded him from the emperor, called him a hero, and erased his years of rule over China from the history books.
