-- There is often more than one candidate, but there is certainly only one winner. www.biquge.info After winning the battle for the throne, Zhongwu, who did not advocate the golden mean, left a rule: if the main personnel of the losing side "voluntarily" entered the mausoleum to be buried for the ancestors, their family children could leave a trace of blood. Of course, it can only be ordinary people, the kind that can never turn over and take revenge, and the number is very small, and most of them still have to die.

The Shang Dynasty, which used immortal cultivators as emperors, only changed monarchs once in about a thousand years, but the sacrifices and killings during each change of throne were not much worse than those of later dynasties - a large number of manpower was used to bury the emperor. And in the Yongqiu Hills, this kind of killing reached the peak of the Shang kings of the past dynasties.

- When Yongji was building his mausoleum, he also built a huge witch array that had never been seen before. He learned the lesson of Taijia back then, and carefully protected this secret with iron-blooded means until he was buried and the witch array came into play. What role did this witch array play? -- It created a country!

In the area around the Yongqiu Hills, it was originally the ruling center of the Shang Dynasty and the most prosperous human settlement on the Shenzhou Continent. However, under the shadow of this vast witch array, in just one night, everything was transformed into a genus of demons, and all living beings in it, whether human, animal, or grass and trees, were deprived of life and died silently. After that, he "woke up" again and continued to be active in this world in another way.

- They have all turned into zombies and ghosts, and have become the burial objects of Yongji. The function of the witch array is to create a huge netherworld in the human world! and the country of Yongqiu located in it is a country composed entirely of demons and ghosts. It is said that Yongji himself became the king of evil spirits and continued to rule the country in his mausoleum.

Although the Shang kings of the past dynasties also used a large number of living people for burial, most of them were the emperor's own slaves, warriors, harems, and relatives...... In short, they are all people who have a relationship with the imperial family and have enjoyed the benefits, and generally unrelated people still don't have to worry about being buried. However, Yongji broke this convention and involved a large number of innocent people, which of course caused the world to be terrified and caused the major princes to be centrifuged. At the same time, it led to the great decline of the Shang Dynasty's national power - the most elite part of the dynasty turned into a ghost domain, so that Pan Geng had to move the capital after succeeding to the throne, far away from the ghost country of Nayongqiu.

Therefore, when the world talked about the death of the Shang Dynasty, although it ended in Di Xin, it had already planted its roots in the Yongji period.

............

After Yongji, Pangeng became the seventh emperor of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Pan Geng was originally not particularly outstanding among the sons of Yongji, but shortly before Yongji entered his own tomb, he was unexpectedly canonized as the crown prince. Speaking of which, this is probably the only good thing Yongji did for the Shang Dynasty. At least after his departure, the remaining forces of the Shang Dynasty could unite around a core and continue to struggle, instead of opposing each other with orthodoxy.

However, what Pan Geng inherited was a super mess - Yongji did not think about the next generation at all, and got the core part of the Shang Dynasty to be buried for himself. At that time, the close family members of the princes of the world were customarily left in the capital of Shang as protons, and they were all unified and killed. As a result, this move directly led to a large number of princes rebelling. However, Pan Geng could only rely on the direct power of his own fief when he was the crown prince, and the central power of the dynasty that could have given him the greatest help had long since disappeared - it was equivalent to saying that he had no practical benefits except in the name of an emperor, but was hostile and attacked by other princes because of the name of orthodoxy.

At that time, the land of the dynasty was full of smoke, and everywhere was attacked, and the country was in chaos. However, Pan Geng was a very capable monarch, and it is said that he got his inspiration for governing the country from the power of the snake plate - the snake would coil its body when defending against enemies, gathering its vulnerable tail and body into the smallest piece, and its head would patrol in the middle, attacking the target like lightning, and then continuing to look for the next opportunity......

Pan Geng absorbed this tactic: first, he moved the capital of the Shang Dynasty to a regional center that he could control at the time, and decisively gave up the territory that he could not control, and rewarded or exchanged it to those more obedient princes to disperse the pressure. At the same time, the whole army was concentrated, and the general provocations were ignored, but for those princes who jumped the most fiercely, as soon as they found an opportunity, they attacked decisively and completely wiped them out with a thunderous force.

Through various means, after hundreds of years of conquest and negotiation, Pan Geng finally stabilized the chaotic situation after Yongji in the later period of his reign, and was known as "Pan Geng Zhongxing" in history. However, at that time, the national strength and territory of the Shang Dynasty were actually much lower than before, and the power of the princes in various places had greatly increased: the Marquis of Zhou in the west, the Marquis of Chu in the south, the Marquis of Chong in the north, and the Marquis of Jiang in the east...... Although the strength of these four princes is still not as strong as that of the Yin Shang royal family, if they are united, they are not much different. In addition to the four princes, there are countless small square uncles who are dominant...... The statement of the eight hundred princes of the world began at that time.

"It's no wonder that Di Xin will be finished later, he must have wanted to take back power, but he failed. ”

As soon as Huang Chang heard this, he immediately remembered the foolish grandson of a certain founding emperor in his previous life, who was ambitious to cut the feudal domain without understanding the contrast of strength, but was robbed of power by his uncle—Emperor Xin was probably the same reason, otherwise how could he have inexplicably forced all the princes of the world to rebel at the same time?—As for his absurdity and cruelty, it was nothing more than propaganda from the victors. Huang Chang's evil overflow in his previous life who still had a "Shang King", this side is not bad, and he still recognizes his name as Di Xin.

Hearing Huang Chang say this, Changqingzi smiled:

"You kid is quite clever, and there are not many people who can not be confused by legends, and draw their own ideas from them - Di Xin had actually destroyed the Dongbohou Jiang clan before his fall, and subdued the Beibohou Chong clan to fight for himself. However, when the two factions of the Western Zhou Marquis and the Southern Chu Marquis saw that the situation was not good, they immediately united and completely destroyed the army of Di Xin in the First Battle of Muye, which led to the current pattern. ”

"Therefore, Di Xin's ability is actually not bad, if he is not a generation of heroes in the early days of Yin Shang, it is a pity that the situation he is facing is very different from that of his ancestors, unless he is another genius like Wu Ding, it is difficult to turn the situation back. The so-called 'Heaven and earth are all working together, and heroes are not free' -- what I really said. ”
