In the second year, Zhou Wuwang led his troops to Jin Meng (now northeast Jin Meng) and held a review. More than 800 small governors came to Jin Meng for joint action. Everyone suggested to King Wu that he should lead everyone to chop down businessmen. However, King Wu thought it was not the right time and returned to Fengjing after the inspection.
At this time, Zhou's tyranny became more and more cruel. Bigan, Kiko and Weizi, noble princes of Shang Dynasty, were very worried and tried to persuade him not to do so. Instead of listening, Zhou brutally killed his uncle Bigan, cut open his chest and took out his heart, saying that he wanted to see what color Bigan's heart was. From then on, the ministers around Zhou Wang never dared to remonstrate. Ji Zi, a good minister, pretended to be crazy and finally escaped death. He was punished and imprisoned as a slave. Wei Zi saw that there was no hope in Shang Dynasty, so he left Biedu and fled to Chao Ge. North Korea's minister Pi, with sacrificial vessels of Shang Dynasty, is taking refuge.
In the first month of 65438 BC+0027 BC (65438 BC+0057 BC), after listening to the report of the spies, I knew that Zhou had reached the point of alienating people and thought that the time was ripe, so I sent 50,000 troops. Please ask Marshal Taiwei, who is good at the art of war, to help you cross the Yellow River with Bi. When we arrived in Jinmeng, 800 governors were reunited. Zhou Wuwang held a swearing-in meeting in Jin Meng, announced the charges of murder, and encouraged everyone to work together with Qi Xin.
On the way to King Wu, one day, two old men blocked the way of the army and wanted to see King Wu. These two men were originally the two sons of the king of the solitary bamboo kingdom (now Lulong, Hebei Province). My brother's name is Boyi, and my brother's name is Shu Qi. Ai Shuqi, the solitary bamboo king, wants to pass on the throne to him. Boyi knew his father's mind and took the initiative to leave Solitary Bamboo. JiShu refused to accept his brother's surrender to his throne, and also hid. When they were alive, they went to Zhou and lived together. This time, I heard that I was going to cut Zhou, so I came to stop him.
When Zhou Wuwang received them, they grabbed the reins of King Wu and said, "Zhou Wang is the son of heaven, and you are a courtier. How can a courtier crusade against the son of heaven? This is a big violation. "
The soldiers around King Wu were very angry when they heard these words. Some people drew their swords and tried to kill them. The squire knew that the two men were just two bookworms, so he told the left and right soldiers not to embarrass them and dragged them away. I didn't know that these two men were too stubborn to eat Zhou's meal, but they hid in shouyangshan (southwest of Yongji) and committed suicide by hunger strike.
Zhou Wuwang's army of beggars has a high morale and is on a roll all the way. After only six days' walk, at dawn on February 4th, we arrived in Mu Ye (now southwest of Qixian County, Henan Province), which is only 70 miles away from Chao Ge.
When he heard the news, he had to deploy his defense in a hurry. But at this time, the main force of the Shang army is still in the southeast, and it is impossible to transfer it back immediately. All of a sudden patched together170,000 troops. He thought, Wu Wang's army is only 50 thousand, can 170 thousand still beat 50 thousand? So Shang Zhouwang personally led the team and went to Konoha to attack Zhou Shi.
However, more than half of this170,000 merchant army were slaves captured by temporary armed forces from Dongyi. They have been oppressed and abused by Zhou on weekdays, and they have long hated Zhou, and no one wants to work for Zhou. On the battlefield of Konoha, when Zhou Jun bravely attacked, they defected one after another, and a large number of slaves cooperated with Zhou Jun to attack the Shang Army. 170,000 strong business army suddenly fell apart. Tai told Zhou Jun to take advantage of the situation and chase him to the capital to sing.
Shang and Zhou fled back to Chao Ge and saw that the tide had receded. Zhou Wang ordered his men to pile all the gold and silver treasures on the reed platform. That night, he hid in Lutai, set a fire, jumped into the fire and set himself on fire.
Zhou Wuwang led the army into Chao Ge with dignity and majesty. Merchants stood on both sides of the road to welcome Zhou Jun, and King Wu ordered Nangong's family to take out the gold, silver and jewels that had not been burned in Lutai and distribute them to the people. He also told him to open the granary in Da Qiao and let people collect food. There were cheers in Chaozi City, and people talked about the benefits of King Wu and the cruelty of Zhou Wang everywhere. King Wu also asked Bi Gaogong to release slaves, sinners and women plundered from all over Shang Zhouwang and set them free.
Zhou Wuwang destroyed Shang Dynasty, ended the rule of Yin Shang Dynasty for 600 years, moved the capital from Fengyi to Haojiang (now the west of Xi City, Shaanxi Province), and established the Zhou Dynasty.
In order to consolidate the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, from Zhou Wuwang, his relatives and heroes were enfeoffed all over the country and a vassal state was established. Too sealed in Qi, brother sealed in Lu, sealed in Yan. It is said that from King Wu to his son's accession to the throne, a * * * sealed more than 70 vassal states.
