readx;? Let's talk about the situation in Henan:

In 2191, two years after the mourning, he was succeeded by his younger brother Zhongkang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info to 斟Xun (Henan Yanshi) as the capital. In fact, only the part of Henan can be mastered. It is divided across the river from Houyi in Hebei.

In the autumn and September of 2187 BC, a solar eclipse occurred, which was considered a bad omen, and Zhongkang ordered the Marquis of Yin to conquer the tribe of the celestial elephant official Xihe, who was in charge of the Celestial Observatory.

In 2186 BC, the country of Kunwu was named Boguo (surname). As mentioned earlier, Emperor Yu killed his nephew Chongli and appointed his incompetent brother Wu Hui as the leader of the Zhurong tribe. Wu Huisheng Lu Zhong, Lu Shengsheng has six sons, namely: Kunwu, Shenhu, Hou Keng (Peng Zu), Huiren, Cao surname, Ji Lian, of which the sixth son Ji Lian, half surname, is the ancestor of Chu State. And this Kunwu country is a vassal state established by Lu Zhong's eldest son Kunwu.

In BC2185, Zhong Kang was not much younger than Tai Kang, old and sick, and eventually died. Zhong Kang's son, Xiangxiang, lived in Liyi (referred to as Li, Xiayi County, Shangqiu, Henan), and won the support of the princely states of the same surname, the Guanguo (Changle County, Shandong Province and Kuiwen District, Weifang City) and the Kaifeng (Kaifeng, Henan).

Because Yao lived for too long, he was the Son of Heaven for 100 years; Yao actually ruled for 72 years, and then Chan ceded to Shun, and Shun acted for 28 years, plus three years of mourning, and then 50 years of Shun's real accession to the throne, a total of 81 years from acting to the real Son of Heaven; 45 years of actual rule, and then Chan gave to Yu, and Yu acted for 36 years, plus three years of mourning, and then 8 years of Yu's real accession to the throne, a total of 47 years from acting to the real Son of Heaven; 40 years of actual governance, and then Chan ceded to Boyi, who nominally acted for the government, and in fact Qi held power for 7 years, plus three years of mourning, plus 16 years of Qizhen's accession to the throne, which lasted 26 years.

From this, we can see that the previous positions of power have all gone through the agency stage before taking power, so when they ascended to the throne, they had been in power for decades, so even if they were already centenarians when they were the sons of heaven, it would not affect their inauguration.

In this context, Qi's sons are very miserable, they have no opportunity to act as the government, and if they want to take the throne, they will rebel like Wuguan, in exchange for failure, and honestly wait for Qi to die, but Qi lived to be more than 100 years old, and after Qi died, Taikang and Zhongkang, who succeeded to the throne, were almost 70 years old even according to the standard of Qi 40 years old before giving birth to them, and there was no chance to go down in history, so it is not surprising that he had the idea of eating, drinking and having fun while he was alive like Taikang.

However, Taikang lost the throne by eating, drinking, and merrymaking, which led to his depression, and his death in a few years was inseparable from his old age. And Zhong Kang, as Taikang's brother, is in much the same situation, so there have been two emperors in thirteen years. Until the succession was regarded as the prime of life (about forty) to succeed to the throne, ending the situation of the old man ruling since Emperor Yao.

In 2182 BC, two years after the mourning, Chung Kang's son Xiang succeeded to the throne with the support of the two vassal states. The capital of Liyi was renamed Xiayi.

Xiang sent troops to conquer Huaiyi (the eastern ethnic groups of the Xia Dynasty were called Yi, and they were all descendants of the Fuxi clan in the early days, and there were also descendants of Emperor Yan mixed in, basically the losers and expelled in the rise and fall of the Central Plains Dynasty, and gradually lost their advanced civilization) and won.

In 2181 BC, Xiang conquered Fengyi and Huangyi and won.

In 2176 BC, Yu Yi came to claim the title of minister.

In 2175 BC, Xiang heard about Han Xun's killing of Yi and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and wanted to take the opportunity to recover the land north of the Yellow River.

And Han Xun called the queen the queen and didn't dare to be careless at all, he knew in his heart that now he occupied only half of the Xia Dynasty, and if the Xia Dynasty was not destroyed, it would be difficult for him to sit on the throne. He knew that he didn't have the strength to attack the Xia Hou clan yet, but he had to take precautions, and he believed that the Xia Wang Xiang would definitely unite the princes to attack him. He sealed his eldest son, Hanshui, to guard the town of Guoyi (northwest of present-day Laizhou City, Shandong). Strictly guard against the invasion of the Xia Kingdom.

In 2174 BC, the capital was moved to irrigation, which is very close to the cold country. In the spring, the Xia Wangxiang united the princes to pour the country and the country, and the troops attacked the Han country in three ways. Because Han Xun had been prepared, Xiang's army just bluffed and shouted for a few days, and then the two armies confronted each other for more than a month, and finally returned in vain.

Han Xun did not let his guard down because the Xia army retreated. He continued to recruit young and middle-aged people into the army, strengthen his military strength, and always be ready for war. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he also implemented a series of policies such as cutting the rich and helping the poor and reducing taxes for the common people in the areas under his rule, so that the people's lives were gradually improved and the country gradually became rich and strong.

In 2168 BC, in order to strengthen the offensive against the Han Kingdom, the Shang Marquis was given the position of Xiangtu riding a horse, and granted the Shang Marquis the right to conquer the princes without asking for instructions. The Shang Marquis Xiangtuju clan moved into the Hao (Shangqiu, Henan) near Xiayi to strengthen the defense of the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Xiangtu is the third king of Shang, from Qi, Zhaoming to Xiangtu, Shang has passed on to the third generation.

In BC2164, the eleventh year of Han Xun, that is, the nineteenth year of the Xia Dynasty, Han Xun, with the support of his two sons, launched a surprise attack on the territory of the Xia Dynasty. Due to the unpreparedness of the Xia Hou clansmen, the attack was very successful, not only plundering a large amount of property, but also capturing many civilians. Han Xun gave all these people of the Xia Dynasty to his ministers as slaves. This battle strengthened Han Xun's determination to destroy Xia, and he made a lot of preparations in terms of military preparations, and decided to choose the right time to launch a full-scale attack on the Xia Dynasty's ruling area.

In 2163 BC, the twelfth year of Han Xun and the twentieth year of Xia Wangxiang, the decisive battle between Han and Xia finally broke out. Han Xun adopted the tactics of divide and conquer and break each one, first ordered his eldest son Han Dou to lead the main army to attack Yiyi (between present-day Taikang and Qixian in Henan), and he and his second son Hanxi each led an army to bluff and feint to attack Xiayi and Guanguan (now southwest of Weifang, Shandong), so that they did not dare to reinforce the Chuan clan. As a result, the Lone army of the Zhan clan fought alone, and was soon defeated by the powerful Han Pouring Army, Yiyi fell, and the leader of the Zhan clan, Ji Kaijia, led the remnants to retreat to Kaifeng (Kaifeng, Henan).

Hanxun won the first battle and was a great hero. He named his eldest son Han Dou as the king of Guo, and guarded the town of Guoyi (now northwest of Laizhou City, Shandong), and the second son Han Xi as the king of Yi, and guarded Yiyi. Although the Han Kingdom won this war, it also damaged a lot of troops, and many young and middle-aged people died on the battlefield. Han Xun decided to temporarily suspend the army and make a truce to recuperate and recharge his strength in order to fight again. Xia Wang Jixiang had enough ability to fight back at this time, but he was frightened by the powerful offensive of the Han State, and did not dare to organize an army to attack, but ordered to strengthen the defense of the border cities, which left a good opportunity for the Han State to recuperate.

In the eighteenth year of Hanxun, that is, in 2157 BC, the army of the Han Kingdom became stronger than before after six years of recuperation. Han Xun once again mobilized his army and launched a second decisive battle with the Xia Dynasty. He still ordered Han Dou to lead the main force to attack the princes of the Chu clan, and the leader of the Chu clan, Ji Kaijia, led the army to meet the enemy, and was ambushed by Han Dou, and the ambush soldiers rose in all directions, surround the Xia army on all sides, and Ji Kaijia led the soldiers to break through desperately, and finally all died in battle. The Han army captured the city and slaughtered the people of the city. The survivors were all held into slavery. After this battle, Henan, including the old capital, fell.
