Chapter 21: Wu Ding's Martial Arts
readx;? From historical records, it can be found that many years after the death of the woman, Wu Ding still misses her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAccording to the state system, Wu Ding ordained a new queen after the death of his wife. However, this queen has a false name, and Wu Ding still has only a good woman in his heart, and he ignores the new queen. Soon after, the queen died in depression. So a third queen was born...... Whenever there was a war in the country, Wu Ding would personally lead his children and grandchildren to hold a large-scale sacrifice for the woman, and ask her spirit in heaven to bless him with victory.
In the last century, the Yin ruins of Xiaotun Village in Anyang were excavated one after another, but only 11 empty tombs were left in the tombs of 11 Shang kings who had settled in Anyang, which had been stolen and empty in the history of 3,000 years. No one thought that it was the tomb of a good woman that was well preserved.
Four bronze mirrors were unearthed from the tomb, as well as four bronze axes and 130 bronze weapons. In addition to more than 200 bronze ritual vessels headed by a pair of stepmothers Xin Dafangding, there are 156 pieces of wine vessels of 15 kinds, as well as 755 pieces of jade ornaments from Xinjiang and other places, more than 7,000 pieces of sea shells from Taiwan, Hainan and even beyond, and 47 pieces of various colored gemstone products. As well as a variety of pottery, stoneware, conch, and many more. In addition, there were 16 martyrs and 6 dogs who were martyred for their wives.
Such a rich funeral goods not only reflect Wu Ding's love for his wife, but also reflect the rich and colorful life of the woman before her death. She was not only a general, good at fighting and drinking, but also a noble lady, beautiful and good at grooming, and a noble lord with independent financial ability and a large group of slaves.
At this time, the Great Peng State (Tongshan District, Xuzhou, Jiangsu), which had made great contributions in the process of the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, was getting bigger and bigger. The state of Dapeng and its clan, the state of Fengwei (Huaxian County, Anyang, Henan), broke away from the jurisdiction of the Shang king, declared independence, and no longer paid tribute.
After Wu Ding basically eliminated the threat of Rong Di, he began to abolish the vassal states that did not obey the royal family, so the Great Peng State and the Feng Wei State near the capital Yin State, which were entrenched in the east at that time, became the main targets of Wu Ding's attack.
In the forty-third year of Wuding (BC1291), the Great Peng Kingdom was finally destroyed by Wuding. The Great Peng Kingdom, which lasted for more than 1,000 years, came to an end. There are still historical relics such as Peng Zu Temple, Peng Zu Temple, Peng Zu Building, Peng Zu Well, Peng Zu Tomb and so on.
In the fiftieth year of Wuding (BC1284), Wang Shi conquered and conquered the state of Fengwei, which was also established by the children of Peng, this country had participated in the war of the Xia Dynasty against Shang Tang, but after being conquered by Tang, it was restored because of the relationship between the Great Peng State, and this time in the case of the Great Peng State has been destroyed, there is no way to return to the sky.
Dongyi was originally an ally of the Shang Dynasty, and although there were discord later, it was not a big harm. But since Wu Ding, who has great martial arts, punished Fang Bo Dapeng and Feng Wei, who sat on the throne, there was no one to control Dongyi. Although Wu Ding was obedient, it left hidden dangers for later generations of Shang emperors. Wu Ding could have been like Tang to Feng Wei, after conquest, and then restore the country, but Wu Ding was angry for a while and destroyed the Great Wall. After that, the six or seven emperors and the southeast were restless. From Wuding to Dixin, the use of troops against Dongyi has not stopped.
Wuding's war against the surrounding countries and tribes expanded the territory of thousands of miles, expanded the territory and sphere of influence of the Shang Dynasty, promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the Central Plains and the surrounding tribes, and made the Shang Dynasty a great country from Gansu in the west, to the seashore in the east, to the desert in the north, and over the river and Han basins in the south, including many tribes. His reign was the heyday of the Shang Dynasty. During the Wuding period, the Shang Dynasty's power had reached the area south of the Yangtze River.
At that time, this was definitely a world power with a vast territory, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was one of only two or three super empires.
Wu Ding died, and he was nicknamed Shang Gaozong.
Wuding Mausoleum is located in Lingxi Village, Tiankou Township, 15 kilometers northeast of Xihua County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. It is reported that Wu Ding led his ministers from the Shang capital to Xihua County to catch and destroy the locust plague and observe the people's feelings, and died in Xihua County due to illness due to overwork, and was buried at the current site. The ancient mausoleum is large-scale, and it carries "looking at it like a mountain", which is admired and sacrificed by the emperors of the past dynasties. The original temple cemetery in front of the mausoleum, and the two sides behind the mausoleum are divided into the most important auxiliary prime minister Fu Shuo and Ganpan mausoleum. Due to the flooding and siltation of the Yellow River and man-made damage countless times in history, the temple was destroyed, leaving only the top of the main mausoleum of Wuding and the scattered ancient imperial sacrifice inscriptions to be collected. The existing main mausoleum of Wuding is about 6 meters high, and the length and width are more than 100 meters. Wuding Mausoleum is one of the few existing imperial tombs in the country and relatively complete during the slavery period.
The prosperity of Wu Ding's reign of 59 years is generally believed to have lasted until the time of his son Zujia. During this period, the elder brother Zu Geng became the king, enjoyed about 10 years of Qingfu, and the younger brother Zu Jia followed, and worked for another 33 years, the country continued to be strong, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the foreign conquest was not large, and Xirong's was also a big victory. Roughly calculated, Wu Ding to Zujia, about a hundred years, should be the golden years of the Shang Dynasty, and the cultural and martial arts have reached their peak, which can be called the first great prosperity recorded in Chinese history.
After Zu Jia, Shang went through Di Xin, Kang Ding, Wu Yi, Wen Ding, Di Yi, and finally passed to Di Xin (that is, the Shang King we know well), and died for about 130 years. In fact, this period was not as declining as the ancient texts suggest, including the infamous Shang Dynasty. The oracle bone inscription can be corroborated, which did not find any major differences after Zu Jia, the country is still that country, maybe not comparable to Wu Ding, but the overall strength is still strong.
In terms of foreign relations, after the end of the Zujia period, some clans in the southwest of Shang Wangji (present-day central and southeastern Shanxi) began to rebel against Shang, coupled with the rebellion of the Dongyi and the occasional invasion of the Qiang people in the west, the situation was not optimistic, and the conquest never stopped. However, during the time of Di Xin, Kang Ding, Wu Yi, and Wen Ding, there were not many major expeditions, and it may be that the records are unknown, but when Emperor Yi and King Xu's father and son, especially the son, the foreign expedition was very fierce, and basically all of them were victorious.
Dongyi, Wuding had a conquest (Yi Fang, Tiger Fang, etc.), until the death of Shang has not been broken. What was the relationship between Shang and it at the beginning of the year, there is no record, and it is difficult to determine. Some history books often take it for granted that Shangben is from Dongyi, and it should have a good relationship at the beginning, but it is actually very biased. Dongyi, has never been a nation, just the Central Plains people to the people of the East, at best, it represents a group of clans in the East that are not subordinate to each other, and later with the continuous expansion of the Orient, the Northeast, the Korean Peninsula, and even Japan are also included. In terms of nationality, Dongyi cannot be confused between different countries in the later years or between the original clans and countries.
