Chapter 32 The Duke of Zhou establishes an army directly under the Zhou Dynasty
readx;? "Zicai" also advocates "Mingde" and opposes "the murder of the queen". As for www.biquge.info people, do not kill or abuse each other, but "as for the widow and the woman, let it be tolerated." If the top and bottom do not abuse and kill, but "respect the widows" and "cooperate with each other", a stable situation will naturally appear. The formation of such a situation is not easy to obtain, and it is necessary to weed, prepare the land, and repair the ditches at the boundary of the fields, as a peasant does, and repair the walls as he repairs his dwellings, and put mud on the walls and grass on the top, and like a craftsman, he diligently repairs the land, and then paints black and red paint. In short, only by diligent use of virtue and protection of the people can "only (be) the king for ten thousand years".
The three articles run through a basic idea, which is to stabilize the Yin people, not to give the Yin people an image of torture and killing, and to punish them prudently and in accordance with the law. As for reforming bad habits -- alcoholism, one is to restrict, the second is to guide, and the third is to treat them differently. As a ruler, you must be diligent.
The Kanghe, Jiuhua, and Zicai were the political strategies of the Zhou Dynasty towards the conquered regions, while the Toast was a policy towards the recalcitrant people who moved to Luoyi. After the completion of Luoyi, how did this group of stubborn people who built the city fall. It's a question on the agenda. "Toast" is a proclamation issued by the Duke of Zhou to the recalcitrant people. The text is divided into two large sections. The first section is to attack the heart and make the Yin stubborn people obey the rule of the Zhou people. The reason is that you Yin Shi are not good, and God gave me a great life of "Xiaobang Zhou", and it is definitely not that I "dare to fight for my life" and "dare to seek a position". This is just like your ancestor Cheng Tang replaced the unTaoist Xia Wei, and it is also "God does not protect" Xia Wei. I moved you from the "Heavenly (Great) Yi Shang" to the western soil, don't blame me, I have mercy on you, this is also where the destiny of heaven lies. The second paragraph is to proclaim that they will be given a way out of life, that they will live in peace, that they will have your land, that they will have your dwellings, that "Ernai still has Ertu, and Ernai Shangning has stopped." "If you are obedient and virtuous, you will be appointed. Heaven will have mercy on you, otherwise, not only will you lose your land, but I will also inflict Heaven's punishment on you.
Uncle Wei Kang abided by the teachings of Zhou Gong, "enlightened with business politics, and Xinjiang with Zhou Suo", and used merchant politics to implement Zhou law, and governed very successfully. Weiguo became an important pillar of the Pingbo Zhou Dynasty, and Uncle Kang was promoted to the crown of the royal family of Zongzhou (Feng Ho, Chang'an) after the reign of King Cheng of Zhou. In this way, the defense of the country was effectively placed under the rule of his son Yongbo.
After the Duke of Zhou pacified the three eunuchs, he took advantage of the victory to march to the east and destroyed more than 50 vassal states of the original merchants such as Xiang (Qufu, Shandong) and Pugu. Among them, Yu and Pugu directly participated in the rebellion of the three prisons.
Zhou Gong divided the eldest son Bo Yu in the homeland of the Xiang Kingdom, and established the Lu State with the title of "Lu" in the fief of the early Zhou Dynasty, the capital of the country is Qufu, and the territory is south of Mount Tai, now the west of Shandong.
Before Bo Yu went to work, Zhou Xuan admonished Bo Yu and said: "I am the son of King Wen, the brother of King Wu, and the uncle of King Cheng, and I am not humble in the world." However, in my eagerness to welcome the guests and receive the taxi who came to the hospital, I washed my head once and held my hair three times, stopped without washing, ate a meal and vomited food three times, and stopped without eating. That's it, and I'm also worried about losing the world's sages. When you come to Ludi, don't be proud of your land. This is the origin of the idiom "Zhou Gong spit and feed, the world returns to the heart".
In fact, Zhou Gong's admonition did not have an impact on the birds.
Bo Bird worked hard in the Lu State for three years (the sixth year of King Zhou Cheng) before he went to Beijing to report his achievements to his father Zhou Gongdan. Zhou Gongdan said: "Why is the government so slow?" (compared with the speed of Lu Shang's five months of government reporting) Bo Yu replied: "I am changing the local customs and changing the local etiquette." Ordinary people also have to serve three years of mourning after death, so they only come to report to the government at this time. ”
When Zhou Gongdan heard Bo Yu tell the reason for the delay in reporting to the government, he sighed and said: "Alas, the future generations of the Lu State will serve the Qi State as a minister in the north! If politics is not simple and uneasy, the people will not get close; if politics is easy to approach the people, the people will inevitably be attached."
Obviously, Bo Yu did not listen to the advice of Zhou Gongdan, and did not respect the customs of the locals, but because of this, he became a firm practitioner of Zhou Li, and was called "Zhou Li is all in Lu".
The state of Lu was the only vassal state in the Spring and Autumn period that could use the same standard of etiquette as the Zhou. It is recorded in the "Book of Rites" that "all the tools, clothes, and officials of the four generations are used at the same time." Therefore, Lu, the king is also a king, and it has been passed down in the world for a long time. "Although the national strength of Qi is relatively strong, Lu represents the etiquette and culture of Shandong and the whole of China, so Shandong's abbreviation is Lu. There is also the land of Qilu that is called Qi and Lu together.
The governance methods of Qi and Lu were completely different, Qi pursued a management method according to local conditions, absorbed local elites, had strong national strength, was easy to open up the situation, and the national strength rose rapidly; while Lu completely copied the Zhou rites and forcibly changed local customs, cutting off the local people's upward channels, leading to fierce struggles in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, some people believe that this is the reason why Qi is strong and reckless, and of course, Qi's monopoly on fishing and salt is also an important factor.
At the beginning of the fourth year of King Zhou Cheng, King Zhou Cheng won the victory to the Taimiao.
In the past, there were not many troops directly under the central power of Zhou, and most of the armed forces during the war were concentrated in the hands of the three eunuchs to monitor the remnants of the Shang, and as a result, the three eunuchs rebelled and suffered heavy losses.
Zhou Gong believed that it was necessary to expand the armed forces of the country directly under him, so he incorporated the army of the three eunuchs, and built another eight divisions (the original Muye Eight Divisions, composed of eight princes' armies), mainly composed of Zhou people, stationed in the Heluo area centered on the newly built Cheng Zhou, guarding Zhou Tianzi, so it was called "Cheng Zhou Eight Divisions", led by Zhao Gong. The Eighth Division of Chengzhou was about 20,000 people. The main task is to pacify Nanyi.
The Duke of Zhou moved the nobles of the Yin State to Luoyi, took their elite, and combined them with the army stationed in the hometown of Shang in the Western Zhou Dynasty (the original army of the three supervisors) to form the Yin Eighth Division, which was mainly composed of Yin people, about 20,000 people. The main task was to pacify the East and monitor the remnants of Yin, and was later assigned to the various vassal states in the East as the princes divided their feuds, but remained under the orders of the Zhou Dynasty.
At the same time, the West Sixth Division was established to defend the western soil of the place where the Zhou people arose with Hojing as the center, and because it was located in the west, it was called the "West Sixth Division", which was mainly composed of Zhou people.
The Eighth Division of the Cheng Zhou, the Eighth Division of Yin, and the Sixth Division of the West were commanded by the nobles personally appointed by Zhou Tianzi. It can be seen from this that the army under the direct control of Zhou Tianzi was at least 60,000 people, which effectively ensured the normal operation of the state apparatus.
In April, after tasting wheat, Zhou Chengwang thought that it could be cultivated, and wheat originating in West Asia officially became one of the crops in China, which was officially promoted, which was of great significance to agricultural production, and the Yellow River basin became one of the main wheat producing areas.
