Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-01

The prostitution does not stop. Weizi didn't listen to the advice, but conspired with the master and the young master, and left. Bigan said: "Those who are ministers have to fight to the death." "It's a strong admonition. He said angrily: "I heard that the saint's heart has seven tricks. "Cut and dry, look at its heart. Ji Zi is afraid, but he is a slave and imprisoned. Master Yin Zhi and the young master are holding their sacrificial instruments to go around. King Wu of Zhou then led the princes to cut down. He also sent troops to the pastino. - Yin Benji

In the later period of the Emperor Xin, the Shang Dynasty became more and more chaotic, and the conquest with the Dongyi clan continued, and the surrounding countries rebelled against the Shang. Weizi, who was praised by Confucius as the "Three Benevolences" at the end of Yin, fled, Jizi was imprisoned, and Bigan was killed by gouging his heart; Taishi, Young Master, Xin Jia, and Xiang Zhi all went to Shang Ben Zhou; In addition, various strange phenomena occur frequently, such as the collapse of the mountain, the drying up of the Yellow River in Jingshui and Weishui, the folding of wings by birds, and the squeeze of wild animals ......Even the divine beast Yiyang appeared on the outskirts of Yin, watching the decline of the merchants.

At this time, the Zhou people were a different scene, after many years of conquest by King Wen Jichang, the princes, sages, and merchants of all parties defected, and the martial arts of Wenzhi became stronger and stronger, and they already had the foundation for cutting Yin. When King Wu of Zhou succeeded to the throne for nine years, he paid tribute in front of the tomb of King Wen, and with Chongguo as a bridgehead, King Wu chose to go to Mengjin (now Mengxian County, Henan) to review the military parade.

King Wu put the wooden statue of his father Ji Chang on the chariot of the Chinese army, called himself the prince Ji Fa, obeyed the order of his father King Wen to come to the merchants, and began to cross the river after Jiang Ziya announced the military discipline, when the river was crossed to the middle section, there was a white fish jumped into the boat of King Wu, and after King Wu took it as a sacrifice, he continued to set off.

After crossing the river, a comet dragged down with a long flame in the sky, and when it was almost above the house of King Wu, it turned into a red bird with a loud call. The merchant Shang Bai, the white fish jumped over the king's boat, and was considered to be the king of the king's own net; The Zhou people are still red, and the red bird appears above the house of King Wu, indicating that the Zhou people have a heavenly light.

At this time, the princes from all over the country came unexpectedly, and when they saw this strange scene, they all said that the time had come to cut down the merchants, but King Wu of Zhou said: "You don't know the mandate of heaven, and the time has not yet come." So he led his troops back.

After waiting for another two years, when the merchants fled, King Wen knew that the time had come for the real merchants. So he led 300 chariots and 3,000 soldiers and began to raid the merchants. By the time they arrived at Monjin, the vassal states were already waiting by the river. King Wu wrote three articles of "Tai Oath" in front of the army to mobilize the princes to move forward.

In Shouyang Mountain, Boyi and Shuqi of the Guzhu Kingdom came to persuade King Wu, thinking that it was unfilial piety for King Wu's father to move troops without burial, and it was unjust to kill the king with ministers. King Wu was furious and wanted to kill Boyi and Shuqi, but was saved by Taigong as a "righteous man" and helped him away. (The Biography of Bethle).

But this departure seems to be a bit rushed, and the divination on the day of the departure of the army was learned to be a soldier's taboo; Walk east to meet the Tai Sui Star. When it came to the river (Henan water system, the source of Fangshan), the river flooded and could not be crossed; When I arrived at Huaidi (southwest of Wuzhi County, Henan Province), the river overflowed again; When it came to Gongshou Mountain, there was another landslide.

So Uncle Huo said in fear: "After three days of departure and five disaster statues, doesn't the heavens let us cut down them?" In this regard, Zhou Gong replied firmly: "The king of Zhou has cut the heart of Bigan, imprisoned the Jizi, and the traitorous ministers are evil to govern, so why should we not be disobedient?" So he chose a horse and set off. ("Xunzi Confucianism").

By the time of Xingqiu (Xiuwu, Henan), it was broken into three pieces, and the heavy rain had not stopped for three days. King Wu was frightened, so he asked Yu Taigong: "Does God not let us crusade against the King of Zhou?" Taigong said, "Wrong! The fold is three, which means that we should divide the army into three ways; It rained non-stop for three days to wash our soldiers. This is the expression of love for the house and the black! So King Wu reorganized the army here, and since then Xingqiu has been renamed Xiuwu. (The Biography of Han Poems, Vol. 3).

After the whole army arrived at Qidi (west of Weixian County, Henan), after breakfast, he set off to the north and began to prepare for the battle of Muye. After arriving at the Baiquan Land (near the Song of the Dynasty) at night, before dawn on the second day, he took advantage of the cover of night to arrive at Muye ("Xunzi Confucian Effect").

Hotspot Engine Plan When Emperor Xin heard that King Wu had arrived, he hurriedly sent 700,000 troops to stop King Wu's advance.
