After the death of the Duke of Zhou, it took two years (the fourth to fifth year of King Cheng of Zhou) to gradually force back the Huaiyi led by the Xu State and other regions in the east with the newly built army, and from then on Zhou's power extended to the seaside. The princes were all subject to the rule of the Zhou dynasty.

King Wu conquered Shang only to strike at the core of the Shang Dynasty, and it was not until the Eastern Expedition of the Duke of Zhou that it cleared its peripheral forces. Although there were about 50 countries destroyed during the three-year crusade, the consolidation and expansion of the occupied territories was still after the division of the same surname. After the Eastern Crusade, the Zhou people were no longer the "small state Zhou" in the west, but became a great country with the sea in the east, the Huai River valley in the south, and Liaodong in the north.

The Zhou Gongdong sign swept the lower reaches of the river in a torrential manner, stirring up the pattern of the original ethnic tribes. Part of the Xu kingdom with the surname Ying fled to Jiangnan (present-day Jiangxi), part of the Dongyi was driven to the Huai River valley, and the descendants of Fei Lian and the evil people surnamed Ying were forced to move west. This led to the great migration and integration of ethnic groups. The battle of the Eastern Crusade was cruel and fierce, and the soldiers followed the Zhou Gong to the East, and the axes cut out the gaps, even though they suffered from the battle, they were still very lucky to be alive. The soldiers of the Eastern Crusade missed their hometown, and once they returned to the field, their hearts were filled with all kinds of reveries. It is no longer a situation of internal and external difficulties, and the situation of "being shaken by the wind and rain, and being only sounded" before the battle.

In the first month of the fifth year of King Zhou Cheng, King Zhou Cheng still stayed in Ami and ordered the king of Xianguo to be escorted to Pugu (near Qingzhou, Shandong).

The Ying tribe of Fei Lian and the descendants of the evil man was also severely punished, and was divided by the Duke of Zhou and forced to move to various places. Most of the Ying tribes, along with the people of the Xianguo Kingdom and some of the Yin people, were moved westward to Yi (Ji County, Tianshui County, southwest of present-day Gangu County, Gansu), and became the ancestors of the Qin people.

These Chinese people who migrated west had a long and tragic tug-of-war with the local Rong people, and in the struggle with the Rong people, these Chinese people gradually merged into the Qin royal family. Qin Feizi, the first monarch of the Qin State, was the fifth grandson of the general Evil Lai under the Shang King, and Qin Shi Huang was the 35th grandson of Evil Lai.

The residences of the Qin people and the Rong people are staggered and distributed. The Qin people mainly lived in the open valleys and gentle terraces on both sides of the upper reaches of the Western Han River, while the Rong people mostly lived in the valleys of the lower reaches of the Western Han River or tributaries. The struggle between the two clans was extremely brutal. In normal times, they live in their own living quarters, and they watch out for each other and fight.

The Qin people regarded themselves as Huaxia, and regarded the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor as their ancestors (the princes all over the country worshipped the Yellow Emperor as their ancestor). The Qin people believed in the Central Plains mythological systems such as the Queen Mother of Kunlun and Nuwa, and there have always been four emperors (Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, Fuxi, and Shaohao).

After Zhou Gongdan put down the rebellion, in order to strengthen his control over the east, he officially suggested that King Cheng of Zhou move the capital to Luoyi (now Luoyang) in Chengzhou.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, because the capital of Haojing was westerly, he could not control the eastern region where the old Yin Shang clan was widely distributed, so he put forward the idea of building a capital in the center of the world. In order to consolidate the new regime, King Wu of Zhou had inspected the "residence of Xia" in the area of Yi and Luo Ershui, and was ready to build a new capital here, named Luoyi, but it was not fully implemented, and only built a city, and died before large-scale construction.

After the second reign of the Duke of Zhou, the development of the vast territory in the east urgently required the eastward shift of the center of gravity of the rule. Zhou Gong adhering to the will of King Wu, built Luoyi, after the Eastern Expedition to quell the rebellion, this matter is more urgent, call the Duke to go to the Xiangdi Bu Mansion first, "Zhou Gong Fu Bu Shen Shi, pawn camp building, live in Jiudingyan." Said: In this world, the Quartet pays tribute, and the Tao is even. ”

Luoyi is located in the center of the Yiluo Basin where Yishui and Luoshui flow, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, looking at Longmen Mountain in the south, leaning on the Pishan Mountain in the north, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is dangerous. The four rivers of Yi, Luo, Xiao and Jian converge in the meantime. According to the choke point of the east-west traffic. Descend the river to reach the hometown of the Yin people. Shunluo water, up to Qi, Lu. There are Ru and Yinger water in the south, and you can reach Xuyi and Huaiyi. The Yiluo Basin is indeed a good place to build a capital.

In the fifth year of the reign of Duke Zhou, the large-scale construction of Luoyi officially began.

In February, King Cheng of Zhou sent Taibao Zhaogong to Luoyi to survey the base of Jiandu, which was called "Xiangzhai".

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Zhao Gong arrived at Luoyi, determined the city site at the intersection of Jianshui and Luoshui, and then planned the specific location of the city, Zongmiao, Chao and City. On March 12, Zhou Gong came to Luoyi, inspected the Xinyi plan comprehensively, re-divined, and showed that the west of the river and the east of the stream, and the construction of the new capital on the shore of Luoshui.

The Duke of Zhou moved a large number of Shang Dynasty nobles captured in the war, namely the "Yin Stubborn People", to Luoyi, and sent Zhaogong to garrison the Eighth Division in Luoyi to strengthen supervision over them.

On March 21, after a grand sacrificial ceremony, the Duke of Zhou issued an order to the nobles of Yin Shang and the heads of the vassal states to build Luoyi. Since then, the prelude to the large-scale construction of the "Dayi Week" has been unveiled.

Luoyi, which was built under the auspices of the Duke of Zhou, was called "Chengzhou" or "Xinyi", etc., and was a large-scale capital, according to the "Yi Zhou Shu. I thought that the world was a big deal", "set up Qiu Zhao in the southern suburbs, and built a large shrine in the middle of the country". The main buildings in the city are the Taimiao, Zongmiao (Wenwang Temple), Kao Palace (Wuwang Temple), Lu Bed, Mingtang and other "five palaces". The architectural structure of these palaces and temples are all in the style of "four a, anti-kun, chongkang, chonglang, often tired, double, algae tax, set and move, travel and painting", and there are different passages such as "inner steps, Xuan steps, embankment Tang, Yingmen, Kutai, Xuanxuan" in the city. It took about a year to build. Therefore, the original place is Jiayi, and there is Jiashan in the north, so it is also called "Jiayi". The new capital is the residence of the king of Zhou, and it is also called "Wangcheng". In the eastern suburbs of Xinyi, the residence of Yin people east of Xiaoshui is called "Chengzhou".

In May, King Zhou Cheng came to Luoyi (Luoyang) from Xian to inspect the construction project for a short time.

How to rule the conquered areas is a big problem after the victory of the war, the Yin people destroyed the Xia, the Zhou people destroyed the Yin, all of which were caused by the destruction of the surrounding feudal states of the Gongwei capital, such as Wei, Gu, and Kunwu at the end of the summer were all princes with different surnames, "Wei, Gu Jihua, Kunwu Xiaji". At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Li, Yu, Chong, etc. were the defenders of the western Shang Dynasty, and after King Wen of Zhou was destroyed, King Wu could drive straight into the Muye near the Shang capital to exterminate the Emperor.

The rebellion of Wu Geng, Xianguo and Huaiyi showed that the old clan leaders could no longer be used in important areas, and the most reliable members of the Zhou clan must be divided into the periphery of the national capital to defend the royal capital, which is essentially different from the division of the Wuwang period.
