Chapter 6 Dai Xia is king

The noble ministers of the Xia Dynasty all expressed their willingness to submit to Tang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After pacifying the subjects of the Xia Dynasty, they held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Shenxun, and told the subjects of the Xia Dynasty that they were punishing the guilty ones according to the will of the heavens, and that the "number of successions" of the Xia Hou clan (the number of successive emperors) had come to an end. This officially announced the end of the Xia Dynasty.

After the destruction of Xia, Shang Tang originally wanted to set the capital of the country in the summer capital. However, in order to appease the subjects of the Xia Dynasty and further consolidate the power it had obtained, the Xia Society was retained, and the important ministers of the Xia Dynasty were concentrated in the Xia capital to search for them, and they were strictly guarded to prevent the Xia people from rebelling. A new capital was re-established near the summer capital, also called "Bo", and later called Xi'an (Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan).

"Shangshu Tang Oath" said: "Tang is better than Xia, if you want to move its society, you can't, make "Xia Treatise". This means that Naruto Yumoto wanted to move the trading company to the Xia Society, but because of the problem of consolidating the rule and relocating the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, he retained the Xia Society and built a new capital.

Therefore, although the Xia capital and the Shang capital Xi'an are both in the current Yanshi, the two are not the same city, and the distance is relatively close.

Tang and Yi Yin led their troops back to Bo (Suiyang District, Shangqiu, Henan) after the Xia kings sacrificed heaven and earth. During this period, the prestige of Shang had reached all directions, and the princes, uncles, and chiefs of clans and tribes of all over the country brought gifts and tributes to Bolai to congratulate and express their submission to Tang. Within a few months, there was a meeting of the "Three Thousand Princes" in Bo ("Yi Zhou Shu Yin Zhu"). Actual vassal dynasty of 1,800 kingdoms (1800).

After conquest and war, Tang finally destroyed the Xia Dynasty, unified the Central Plains that had been chaotic since the end of the Xia Dynasty, and controlled the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and its influence far exceeded that of the Xia Dynasty. After Tang destroyed Xia, he laid the foundation of the Shang Dynasty's territory. Because Shang Tang destroyed Xia by force and broke the statement that the king was Yongding, the Chinese dynasties have changed in this way since then, so it is known as the "Tang Wu Revolution" in history.

More than 400 years ago, when Xia Yu founded the country, when he was in the Tushan Assembly, "the one who holds the jade silk is all countries". After more than 400 years of development, these tens of thousands of "princes" due to mergers and integration, by the time of Tang Jianguo, there were only 1,800 princes. But at this time, the territory ruled by Shang Tang was far larger than that of Xia Yu.

Tang treated the princes who came to congratulate him with courtesy, and Tang himself only occupied the position of princes, showing humility. Three lets. Then he became the Son of Heaven. "So the princes were subdued, and Tang Naijian was the son of heaven" ("Historical Records: Yin Benji"). That is, under the support of the "Three Thousand Princes" (actually 1800 Princes), Tang became the Son of Heaven, sacrificed to the heavens, and announced the establishment of the Shang Dynasty.

Soup, reigned 1677-1666 BC.

In 1677, Tang ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven, replaced the Xia Dynasty, and led the world, at this time Tang had been the Marquis of Shang for 17 years. Tang sealed Xia Wei's son Chunwei as a prince according to the practice of previous dynasties (斟Xunguo, next to the Shang capital Xi'an, which was heavily guarded). The Shang Dynasty was established, and in order to prevent the resurgence of Xia's power, Tang chose Xi'an (Yanshi City, Luoyang, Henan) as his capital. The current site of Yanshi Mall is the former site of the new capital Xi'an established by Shangtang.

The four concubines of the Gao Xin clan were called Jian Di as the ancestors. Emperor Yu is a distant ancestor. The deed is the beginning of the feudal country, the long is Yao Situ, the success of the people, and the seal of business. After XIII. Born Lord. The concubine of the lord said to help the capital, and the soup was made on the second day.

Chunwei, or Xunyu, is the son of Xia Wei's concubine, and Yuxi is his stepmother.

Chunwei had an affair with Ji's concubines and was secretly reported to Tang, who thought it was extremely immoral, so he stripped Chunwei of his title, which meant that he could no longer be the king of the country, and planned to punish him further.

After Chunwei learned the news, in order to avoid Shang Tang's attack, he fled to the far northern desert with several concubines who were close to him and the remnants of the Xia Hou clan, where he established his own tribe.

After the Yellow Emperor and before the Qin Dynasty, the nomadic tribal alliance in the northern desert region was given different names in different periods, perhaps because the central tribe and customs had changed, so the titles were different.

As mentioned earlier, during the period of the Yellow Emperor, some of the descendants of Emperor Yan (descendants of Jiuli) after the defeat of Chiyou were expelled by the Yellow Emperor to the barren land in the north, and the name of the meat porridge [xunyu], also known as Shanrong, or Wuzhi, became the main body of civilization of Beidi or Beirong, and dominated the northern part of Shanxi and Shaanxi in northern China until the Hetao region of Inner Mongolia. Because the power of the Central Plains Dynasty had not yet developed there before the Xia Dynasty, it was basically at peace with the Central Plains Dynasty.

Because of their more advanced civilization, the tribe of Chunwei merged with meat porridge (Shanrong, or Wuzhi), and soon became one of the leaders, herding herds, multiplying from generation to generation, and developing into a barbaric people, the Ghost Fang.

Fuyu is the ancestor of the ghost party. His marriage to his deceased father and widow has since become a traditional custom of this people. Their religious beliefs are similar to those of the Xia Dynasty, such as sacrificing the sun and the moon, killing animals, looking at the stars and divination, etc., but they do not build houses, do not observe etiquette, wear their hair and wear their left hair, live on nomadism, and often go south to plunder the lives and property of agricultural and civilized peoples.

Since then, the Guifang tribe of the descendants of the Xia Hou clan has gradually replaced the meat porridge of the descendants of Emperor Yan to become the new generation of overlords of the northern grasslands, and the name of meat porridge no longer appears in historical records.

After Chunwei escaped, Dayu's incense was cut off, so the king of Shangtang sealed the Xia royal family and a nobleman in the Qi country to worship the ancestors of the temple.

Shang Tang learned the lessons of the fall of the Xia Dynasty and wrote "Tang He", requiring his subordinates to "contribute to the people, and diligence is a matter", otherwise they would "punish you greatly". For those Xia people who died in the country, the "Xia Society" was still retained, and their descendants were sealed.

Shang Tang established a monistic system of religion that was different from later generations, and was a development of primitive polytheism, with ancestor worship as the core.

That is, the first king (ancestor) and the "emperor" (the current king) are unified in the worship of the ancestral gods, so the spokesmen of the ancestral gods in the present world will also be promoted to gods in the future, and the current kings are connected with the ancestral gods through the priestly class, and the system established by Shang Tang ***** make the situation of the Shang Dynasty similar to that of ancient Egypt.

In 1676, there was a great drought in the Central Plains.

Tang paid attention to "governing the people with leniency", so during his reign, the class contradictions were relatively relaxed, the political power was relatively stable, and the national strength became stronger and stronger. Internally, it reduced the conquest, encouraged production, and appeased the people, thus expanding the ruling area, and influencing as far as the upper reaches of the Yellow River, where the Di and Qiang tribes all came to pay tribute and submit, and they all said that Shang Tang was their monarch. "Poetry, Shang Song, Yin Wu" said: "In the past, there was a soup, since the other side of the Qiang, don't dare not come to enjoy, don't dare not come to the king, said Shang is constant." "Di Qiang came to worship.

In 1675, Xia Wei died of grief and illness in Tingshan, and before he died, he said to people: "I regret that I did not simply kill the soup in Xiatai, so that I ended up in this fate." "There was still a severe drought this year. Tang ordered a ban on singing and dancing as a sign of mourning.
