Chapter 4 3. A pot of porridge has been drunk for 270 years

In 1046 B.C., King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, and after the fierce battle in Muye, King Wu's people's aspirations were invincible all the way to Chaoge in the capital.King Zhou saw that there was no opera to sing, so he burned the stage together, so he set fire to Lutai and proclaimed himself the first person to set himself on fire in Chinese history.His unenvironmentally friendly move also declared the complete demise of the Shang Dynasty after nearly 600 years of development.In the same year, the Zhou Dynasty was established and its capital was Haojing, which was called the Western Zhou Dynasty in history.

In fact, there was a King Wen of Zhou before King Wu of Zhou. When King Wen was in power, he laid the foundation for the strength after Sunday.But King Wen died before he caught up with the good times. His son King Wu overthrew the Shang Dynasty so easily. In addition to Shang Zhou's own internal reasons, he also benefited from King Wen's careful cultivation of King Wu. The Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory, 1.5 million square kilometers, and a population of tens of millions. How big could Athens, the most powerful European city at that time, be as big as Beijing?Certainly not.At that time, European countries were called city-states, and a city was a state with a small population.Sparta is said to have nine thousand households.Everyone knows that the 300 warriors of Sparta are equivalent to their king leading 300 people to fight. In our Zhou Dynasty, this matter is equivalent to what a company commander did. In our Zhou Dynasty, there were more than 300 eunuchs in the palace.

But at that time, the European king could lead 300 people to fight, which was a lot, although it is possible that this was the king's guard, and the main force was not dispatched.No matter how you say it, his 9,000 households are only 90,000 people if calculated as a family of ten.In contrast, the Zhou Dynasty was a superpower beyond the imagination of Westerners. They could not imagine the concept of 1.5 million square kilometers and a population of tens of millions, just like those who are used to eating shredded pork fried pancakes do not know the concept of a full banquet in Han Dynasty. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was already a full banquet of Manchu and Han.

In the ninth century BC, during the reign of King Li of Zhou, the people of the country rioted.King Li is obviously a critical posthumous title. Killing innocent people is called Li, anyway, it is not a very good posthumous title.The inner city is called Cheng, and the outer city is called Guo.Wen Tianxiang's "Passing the Jinling Station": "The scenery of the mountains and rivers is the same, but the people in the city are half different." It shows that the city is the same thing.The biggest one in Guo is the capital.In ancient times, the capital was called China, and apart from the capital, it was not China anymore. Later, it generally referred to the Central Plains and Chinese civilization.The ancient texts talk about China, which is absolutely different from our concept of China today.China as the representative of the Chinese nation, that is after the Republic of China.Therefore, people who live in the city are Chinese people, and the riots of the Chinese people are the riots of the people in the city of Haojing. It is the riots of the citizens of the capital, not the riots of the whole country.

There is something wrong with Li Wang's world view, he thinks that everything in the world belongs to him, it's a bad idea, the key is that he doesn't let the people pick and hunt, saying that you can't move the raccoons in the mountains, the fish and shrimps in the river, they are all "solitary" .What's even more absurd is that whoever dares to talk about him in private and speak ill of him will be executed if he is reported.In the end, the city people rioted and drove the king away, causing King Zhou Li to die in a "foreign country".After the absence of a king, the two ministers, Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao jointly governed, and Zhou Zhao reconciled, which was the first year of the republic in 841 BC.The two ministers have been in power for several years, and the prince of King Zhou Li succeeded to the throne, King Xuan, who is a hero.

When King Xuan of Zhou was in power, the country was once prosperous and powerful, so this is the famous King Xuan Zhongxing in the history of the Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, King Xuan died and his son King You succeeded to the throne. It was over.King You, you will be depressed when you hear this name, and you will be called You when the sacrifice is chaotic, and King You will perish as soon as he succeeds to the Western Zhou Dynasty.This King You is a person who "likes to go to theatres" and loves beautiful women.A beautiful woman has a psychological barrier and can't be happy. In order to please her, King You said let's go to the theater together, and let's have a beacon show for the princes, so as to create some difficulties for the country.

That's all for pampering the beautiful woman, the key is that he wants to make the child born by the beautiful woman king, and he is not afraid of the genetic problem of mental disorder, so he abolishes the former prince. Bring Quan Rong here.Inu Rong is a savage.So brutal these people.Our nation in the Central Plains is called Huaxia. The name is very nice. Hua means beautiful, and Xia means big. It is a big and beautiful nation.The first big and beautiful country was called Xia Dynasty, surrounded by barbarians Rongdi.Barbarian Rongdi is not a very good word, it has already made you say it bad enough, isn't it bad enough?Inu Rong!

As a result, the Zhou Dynasty was wiped out by these miserable dog soldiers. This was the first Chinese regime to be wiped out by a minority.Of course there are others later, both in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, but the first one to set an example is the Western Zhou Dynasty, and no one can compete with it.In 771 BC, the dog army captured the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Haojing, near today's Xi'an, Shaanxi.Haojing fell, King You of Zhou died, the country was destroyed, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.King Ping moved his capital to Luoyi, which was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in history.That is to say, the Zhou Dynasty started and ended from 1046 BC to 771 BC, after 275 years, it finally came to an end.
