The attack on Zhou was a great event in the history of China. Everyone knows about this war. Many people think that attacking Zhou is a war of "different people have different opinions". Is it really that Zhou Wuwang wrote a wise SHEN WOO, plus a fairy-level Jiang Ziya, while Shang Zhouwang wrote such a fatuous one?

In the history of attacking Zhou, this war is like this. Around 1000 BC, taking advantage of the good opportunity to attack Zhou, that is, when the Shang army was fighting in Dongyi, Konoha and the princes read out the charges, so they decided to lead an army of about 45,000 people to attack Shang for the sake of justice. At this time, the slaves of the Shang Dynasty defected in succession, and the Zhou Dynasty collapsed and won easily.

In fact, the truth of King Wu's attack was not so. Shang Zhouwang did not lose the Shang Dynasty because of his incompetence. In fact, a character named Jiao Wei is working for the smooth cutting of King Wu. Jiao Wei was the largest salt merchant at that time and was extremely rich. Ancient wars were never inseparable from the economy. Shang Zhouwang's crusade against Dongyi was costly and its national strength was empty, so Zhou Wenwang recommended Jiao Wei to help Shang Zhouwang get out of trouble. Jiao Wei is from Zhou Wenwang. After Zhou Wenwang's death, King Wu succeeded to the throne and began a plan to destroy business. Wei Jiao became Zhou Wuwang's undercover, discussed with him the plan to destroy the enterprise, and promised him that he could become an official when it was done.

After returning to Shang Dynasty, Jiao Wei began to take action, and all the successful ministers who could recruit excellent fighters were sent to fight in Dongyi. When Zhou Wuwang attacked, he led all the 700,000 merchants at that time, so it was natural to defect one after another. This is the truth of attack week. It is not slaves who defected voluntarily, but human actions.

Where is the place where Zhou Wuwang cuts Zhou?

At the end of Shang dynasty, due to the violent rule, the country gradually declined, and the Zhou tribe gradually became stronger at this time. In order to crusade against the tyrants of Shang Dynasty, neighboring countries and governors rallied their troops to attack Zhou Dynasty, and launched the Konoha War, which was called Zhou Dynasty in history.

The location where King Wu attacked Zhou was the location of the Makino War. BC 1047, Zhou Wuwang held a vassal alliance in Konoha and decided to crusade against the tyrant. At that time, the place of the war was Mu Ye, and Mu Ye was another name of Xinxiang, Henan, and another place name in ancient history. The specific location of this place is in the north of Xinxiang City today, including Fengquan District, Weihui City, huixian city and Huojia County of Xinxiang City. Konoha is not a proper noun, but relative to Yindu, the capital of Shang Dynasty at that time. Yin, the capital of Shang Dynasty, is divided into city, township, suburb, animal husbandry and wild from the inside out.

Zhou Wuwang is located in Mu Ye, and this Mu Ye refers to Weihui City in history. Konoha in a broad sense also includes Fengquan District and parts of Huojia County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shen gave the clearest explanation to this place in his Shuo Wen Jie Zi, in which he said, "The garden city is 70 miles south, fighting with Zhou at Konoha". Konoha is 70 miles south of the capital of Shang Dynasty. In ancient times, 70 miles was equal to 25 kilometers now, so the place where Zhou Wuwang hacked people was the location of Weihui City.

Mu Ye was also the birthplace of Bi Gan, minister of Shang Dynasty, and Jiang Shang, minister of Zhou Dynasty. At the end of Shang dynasty, the battle of cutting Zhou also happened here. Today, there are many historical sites here, the most famous of which are Jiang Taigong Temple, Bigan Temple and the hometown of Jiang Taigong.

What is the reason why King Wu won?

There are many explanations in ancient history about the reasons for the victory of the Zhou Dynasty. Some people say that it was because of the precise punitive strategy when attacking the Shang Dynasty, some people say that it was because of the powerful alliance army dominated by Zhou tribes, and others say that the victory of attacking Zhou was because of the right time, the right place and the right people. But the main reason is that the Shang dynasty was cruel and the people were distracted; Shang soldiers were unwilling to fight.

The reason for the victory of the attack week is the strength and attack strategy of the allied forces: at the end of BC 1046+0, he personally led 300 chariots, 3,000 warriors and tens of thousands of infantry to send troops to the East. On February 265438, 438+0, Zhou arrived and joined Yong, Lu, Wei and Xun. The total number of allied forces reached more than 45,000, equivalent to the current six divisions. The allies braved the rain and went north until they worshipped the spring and turned east. The offensive strategy is: when the main force of Shang Dynasty is in the southeast, the elite troops went deep into the two capitals of Shang Dynasty to worship songs with lightning speed, defeated the defenders who worshipped songs, captured the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop, occupied the political center of Shang Dynasty, and then disintegrated the regime of Shang Dynasty, leaving the remaining Shang Dynasty and vassal States leaderless, and then defeated them one by one.

One of the reasons for winning the attack on Zhou was that the army didn't know: after the arrival of the allies, the first batch of emergency military intelligence arrived, and the allies followed, and the defenders were caught off guard. The armies of Shang Dynasty were all in the southeast, and there were not enough elite soldiers and chariots in Chao Ge. Infantry alone can hardly compete with the chariot phalanx with strong impact, let alone Zhou Jun's morale. Di Xin was shocked to hear that he was coming, so he had to quickly arm a large number of slaves and prisoners of war, together with the troops guarding the capital, to fight in Konoha. However, the business sergeant was unwilling to fight, and most of them ran back in despair. Although there are loyal imperial troops in the rear, there are many enemies. Under the impact of the crowd, these imperial guards also lost their foothold. In order to escape, they were pushed by the crowd behind them, and the slaves turned against each other and killed at random.

Strong military alliance, careful operational plan and popular support at that time made the victory of attacking Zhou inevitable.

What is the basis for analyzing the attack on King Wu?

Zhou Wuwang is the son of Zhou Wenwang, a tribe of Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Wenwang's greatest wish before his death was to destroy the Shang Dynasty. After Zhou Wuwang succeeded to the throne, he inherited his father's footsteps and vigorously developed the Zhou clan in order to wait for the best opportunity to destroy the business.

What is the basis of King Wu's attack? First of all, the foundation of Zhou Wuwang is the stability and strength of the country, which makes the Zhou tribe develop rapidly. Zhou Wuwang has also taken measures. Politically, he reused Tai, Zhao and others, who were all effective ministers and managed the Zhou tribe in an orderly way. During BC 1048, more than 800 countries and princes were willing to cooperate with the Zhou Dynasty, which shows how powerful the Zhou Dynasty was at that time.

What is the basis of King Wu's attack? Mainly reflected in the attitude towards slave owners, although Zhou Wuwang did not fundamentally shake the slave system, his attitude towards slaves was very mild, guiding slaves to agricultural production, or joining the army to exercise and adapt to the way of war. These measures provided sufficient troops and food for the king of Wu to attack.

In addition to various external factors, the most important basis for the conquest of King Wu is to conform to public opinion and providence, and only a war that conforms to history will win. Zhou Wuwang is famous for fighting, and its slogan is to crusade against tyrants. This unintentional move won the hearts of the people. It is the will of the people to convene neighboring countries and governors before the battle of Makino. As a result, the attack on Zhou was sweeping and won one after another. In addition, the attitude towards slaves is also the basis for cutting weeks. At that time, the contradiction between slaves in Shang Dynasty intensified, and Zhou Wuwang did a good job in this respect. In the process of cutting Zhou, slaves surrendered and defected, which accelerated the victory of the war.

The relationship between Shang Tang's destruction of summer and the battle of King Wu.

Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty in China to be destroyed by Shang Tang. Historically, it was called "Shang Tang's Summer Extinction". During the period of Zhou Wang, the Shang Dynasty gradually declined and was wiped out by the Zhou people, which was called "the King of Wu attacked Zhou" in history. In the history of China, although it is natural for dynasties to change, every dynasty perished for a reason. Shang Tang destroyed the summer and attacked the Zhou Dynasty because of Qi Weiwang's tyrannical rule, which led to the country's demise.

Wu Wang's Paper-cutting

The historical event that Shang Tang destroyed the Xia Dynasty refers to the event that Shang Tang led the Shang tribe to destroy the Xia Dynasty in 1600 BC. The fundamental reason why Shang Tang was able to destroy the Xia Dynasty was its violent rule. At that time, the last king of Xia Dynasty was Xia Jie. Xia Jie's rule was cruel, and the people were very dissatisfied with politics. People lead a dissolute life and complain a lot. Guan Longfeng, a loyal minister, tried his best to remonstrate. Xia Jie not only refused to listen, but killed him. At that time, the Shang Dynasty developed rapidly and ruled by virtue for the people, which attracted people's refuge. So in 1600, the Xia Dynasty was wiped out with no effort.

King Wu's attack on Zhou refers to the attack of Zhou tribes headed by 1046 BC. Compared with Xia Jie, Zhou Wang in Shang Dynasty still cared about state affairs, attached great importance to agricultural production in its early days, and the country became stronger and stronger. However, due to the cruel rule of Zhou Wang, people dare to be angry but dare not speak. He was not only dissolute, but also built a wine pool and meat forest, hired traitors and thieves, and invented the "punishment of branding" to harm the people, which eventually aroused public anger and was destroyed by the increasingly powerful Zhou tribe.

Shang Tang's summer extinction and Zhou extinction are two very similar historical events. Similarly, the downfall of Xia Dynasty and Shang Dynasty was due to the poor rule of the king.

What did King Wu take a shortcut?

This is an idiom and a story of ups and downs. This story tells the story of Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa leading the army to conquer Shang Shang Zhouwang. This is a story of unrelenting crusade. In the end, justice triumphed over evil, tyrannical Shang Zhouwang was defeated and the Western Zhou Dynasty won.

This story is a household name in China, because it originated from Xu's novel The Romance of Gods. This is a fairy tale. The Western Zhou Dynasty was endowed with justice, and the Shang Dynasty was regarded as evil, so the final outcome of both parties involved was certain. This is also the most successful historical fairy tale in China.

Many people are studying the process of cutting Zhou, and they also explain it in their novels. The army of the Western Zhou Dynasty first had five passes, namely Qinglong Pass, Surabaya Pass, Yun Chuan Pass, Lintong Pass and Wandering Soul Pass. In the novel, these barriers are very difficult to break, because every barrier here is guarded by a fairy.

In fact, there are also these passes, and the prince of Wu must pass through these passes, but there are no immortals guarding here, but Shang generals and troops guarding here, so the war in the Western Zhou Dynasty is difficult to carry out, but it is also successful.

After these passes, another pass that Wu passed through was Mianchi, where he also fought a battle, then arrived at the Yellow River Ferry, and finally arrived. They couldn't get in, so they fought a huge battle with the last army of Yin merchants, which was one of the most famous battles in the history of China, that is, in this battle, the Western Zhou Dynasty finally successfully eliminated the merchants and established Zhou.
