The battle of Makino is the decisive battle for the king of Wu to attack Zhou. It was the decisive battle between the allied forces of Zhou Wuwang and the Shang army in Mu Ye (now south of Qixian County, north of Weihe River, near Xinxiang City). Because Di Xin (Shang Zhouwang) first conquered Lebanon in the northwest, then settled in the east and settled in the south, although it won, it was militaristic, which aggravated social and class contradictions. Finally, he was defeated and set himself on fire, and the Shang Dynasty perished. Therefore, Zuo Zhuan said: "It is not good for him to spread it abroad."
The Book of Songs Daya Daming records: "Konoha is magnificent, Tan Che is magnificent, and Pumbaa is wonderful. When you are a teacher, you are still a father. Cool the prince of Wu and cut down the big business, and you will understand. " The Preface to the Biography of Taishigong in Historical Records records: "Mu Ye, King of Wu, really cares about the world".
The battle of Makino is a famous example in China's history, in which the few win the many, the weak win the strong, and the preemptive strike. It is also a famous example of China in the early period of ancient car wars. The Shang Dynasty, which ended 600 years ago, established the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty and opened the way for the all-round prosperity of the Western Zhou Dynasty's ritual and music civilization. The strategy and fighting art embodied in Makino War are also of great significance to the development of China's ancient military thought.
Destruction of Shang Dynasty: Shang Dynasty, also known as Yin Shang, is the second dynasty in China history and the first dynasty in China with direct written records of the same period. The Shang Dynasty was in the heyday of slavery, and slave owners and nobles were the ruling classes, forming a huge bureaucratic ruling institution and army. So how did the Shang Dynasty perish?
Shang Zhouwang, named Di Xin, was the last monarch of Shang Dynasty. "Righteousness" means "damaging righteousness", and "Zhou Wang" is a derogatory evaluation of him by later generations. Zhou Wang's crimes recorded in history books are: debauchery, extravagance and corruption.
It is said that Zhou Wang likes drinking. He chiseled the ground into a pool, poured wine into it, and sailed on it. Zhou Wang, his concubines and relatives are boating and drinking in the swimming pool. It is said that he erected a stake like a forest in the palace, covered with cooked meat, and told some people who accompanied him to go crazy naked in this "meat forest" Eat when you are hungry, and play when you eat. It is said that he also built a deer platform. The foundation is three miles square and more than one hundred feet high. He gathered all the gold, silver, jewels and beautiful women on the stage, and feasted for seven days and seven nights, making his ministers, concubines and concubines forget the sun, moon and time. Cruel and tyrannical, poisoning the world. It is said that he burned the hollow copper column with charcoal fire, and then let the slaughtered people crawl on it, burned the skin into a paste and died.
When the Shang Dynasty arrived in Shang Zhouwang, it had made a mess of its own country. He is very extravagant, and especially likes eating and drinking. He built a wine pool and a meat forest in the palace. The wine pool is a large enough sailing pool, which is full of wine. The meat forest is to erect many wooden stakes on the edge of the wine pool, with delicious barbecue hanging on them. Zhou Wang and the nobles drank by the wine pool, and when they got to the meat forest, they could eat meat.
Zhou Wang likes a woman named da ji very much. Da ji tried to come up with some bad ideas and asked Zhou Wang to do something unnatural. For example, she told Shang Zhouwang to punish those who opposed him with the cruel punishment of branding. Branding means heating a copper column with charcoal fire, then forcing people to climb it, and then falling down and being burned alive by the burning charcoal fire.
It is said that in order to observe the growing fetus, he cruelly let people cut open the pregnant woman's stomach; He wanted to know why the farmer who crossed the river barefoot in winter was not afraid of freezing, so he had his feet cut off, his bones smashed and his bone marrow examined. There are also crimes such as protecting traitors, reusing villains, disrespecting ancestors, and not believing in loyalty. Later, Zhou Wang lost his morale and popular support, and was finally defeated by King Wu. He burned himself to death with a torch, and his wife da ji was guillotined by King Wu.
Zhou Wang is so dissolute and cruel that he is often discouraged, but he never listens. Wei, his half-brother, said to him, "We drank too much and ruined all the virtues left by our ancestors. Drinking makes our people and ministers do evil things such as stealing and doing evil. It seems that our Yin Dynasty is going to perish. " Not listening to Wei's advice, Wei had to leave him secretly. Zhou Wang's cousin Ji Zi also suggested to Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang not only refused to listen, but imprisoned him. Zhou Wang's uncle told him to pull back from the brink, and he ordered someone to kill him, cut open his stomach and take out his heart to watch. Zhou Wang is so cruel that no one dares to persuade him any more. Some ministers pretended to be ill, while others said nothing. Some officials even secretly picked up sacrificial vessels and musical instruments from the ancestral temple of Shang Dynasty and defected to Zhou Wuwang.
Zhou Wang is still so cruel to ministers, but he is even more unscrupulous to ordinary people. If he wants to build a deer platform, he forces people to work hard; If he wants to drink, he will take the people's rations at will to make wine; If he wants to eat meat, he forces people to hunt wild animals in the mountains and forests day and night; His love da ji likes to watch people kill people, so he drags people to behead, chop off their feet and gut them. The common people can't live any longer, so they have to help the old and the young, wail and cry, and flee everywhere.
Zhou Wang's tyranny made the Shang Dynasty unable to rule. At this time, Zhou Wuwang decided to attack Shang Dynasty with the help of Jiang Shang and his uncle Zhou Gongdan. BC 1066, Zhou Wuwang led 300 chariots, 3,000 warriors (guards) and 45,000 infantry, joined forces with small countries, set out from Jin Meng and sang praises to the capital of Shang Dynasty. In Konoha, the banner of cutting Zhou was erected. At the swearing-in meeting, the sins of corruption, dissoluteness and cruelty were counted, and then the army was commanded to attack the commercial army. At this time, Zhou Wang is singing, dancing and drinking heartily with his beloved da ji and his entourage in Lutai. When his men told him the news of Zhou Jun's attack, he hurriedly called ministers to discuss countermeasures. Because at that time, the main force of the Shang army was dealing with Dongyi in the southeast, it could not be adjusted for a while, so Zhou Wang had to temporarily arm a large number of slaves, with 700,000 people, to fight against He Jun's attack on the front line.
When the two armies prepared for battle, Yin Jun rose up in front of the battle, turned around and killed Zhou Jun. Zhou Wang was defeated and fled back to Chao Ge with several guards. Knowing that it was the end of himself, he put jade and other treasures around his waist, ate a big meal in Lutai, and then set a fire and burned himself to death. Thus the Shang Dynasty perished.
