There is a famous saying in Yi Ge Hai Ci: "The revolution in the Tang and Wu Dynasties depends on the sky and the people". The "Tang" mentioned here is the founder of the second ruling dynasty in China history-Shang Tang Tianyi. He once led the Shang tribe and other allied tribes to resist the brutal rule of the Xia dynasty, overthrew the dying and decadent Xia dynasty by violent means of war and established a new ruling order.
What he did most objectively promoted the development of history and conformed to the wishes of the people, so he was affirmed and praised by future generations. In this revolutionary change, the battle of singing is a key move. About BC 1766, Shang Tang formally set out to attack the summer. Before the war, he held a solemn oath, recounting Xia Jie's crimes of destroying production and brutally exploiting and oppressing the people.
He declared that he conquered Xia Jie by the will of God in order to save the people from the mire. Shang Tang also announced strict battlefield discipline. This swearing-in has greatly boosted morale. After taking an oath before the war, Shang Tang chose 70 good cars and 6,000 people who were "destined to be". He joined forces with armies of various countries, made a strategic detour to the west of Zhixia, and made a surprise attack on Xiadu.
Xia Jie, heedless of the news, refused to move westward, and launched a strategic decisive battle with the Shang Tang army in Mingtiao (now near Luoyang, Henan). In the decisive battle, Shang Tang's army fought bravely and defeated Xia Jie's main force in one fell swoop. Xia Jie retreated to the Three Kingdoms (now Dingtao East, Shandong Province). Shang Tang carried forward the style of quick victory and continuous fighting, pursued the victory and eliminated the three forks.
At the end of the road, Xia Jie led a few down archers to the South Nest (now south of Shouxian County, An Wei), and soon died of illness, and the Xia Dynasty was declared extinct. Shang Tang returned to Xibo (now Yanshi West, Henan Province) and held a meeting of "The Life of Jingbo" attended by many governors, which won the support of 3,000 governors and achieved the status of governors all over the world.
The result of the war: In order to wipe out the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, Shang Tang and Yi Yin marched westward and quickly occupied the Xia capital. The pro-expensive ministers in Xia Dynasty all expressed their willingness to submit to Shang Tang. After appeasing the subjects of Xia Dynasty, Shang Tang held a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, telling the subjects of Xia Dynasty to punish the guilty Jie according to God's will.
