The Xia Dynasty was followed by the Shang Dynasty. Shang Dynasty was also a slave country in the history of China. Shang Zhou, the last king of Shang Dynasty, ruled very cruelly. He aggravated the exploitation of slaves and civilians, built many palaces and gardens, drank and had fun all day, and lived a luxurious and corrupt life. If the people express dissatisfaction, he will increase punishment and brutally suppress it.
He made the punishment of "branding", put the copper pillar on the burning charcoal fire and forced the "prisoner" to walk on it. The "prisoner" could not stand, so he fell in the fire and burned alive. His uncle Beagan was an honest man and gave him many suggestions, but Zhou Wang refused to listen to any advice and put Beagan to death. Another minister advised Zhou Wang: "If you run amok again and again, you will be in danger of national subjugation and death!" Zhou Wang replied, "My life was born with God's blessing. Who can do anything to me? "
At that time, Zhou's surname in Weishui Valley developed rapidly. Zhou Yuan was a vassal state of Shang. Zhou Wenwang is worried about state affairs, and sometimes he is too busy to eat from morning till noon. He pays special attention to employing people, and Jiang Shang is the talent he discovered. Jiang Shang was born in poverty and didn't have a proper job in his sixties.
He heard that Zhou Wenwang attached great importance to talents, so he fished by the water in Qishan every day, hoping to see King Wen passing by. One day, he finally met Zhou Wenwang, and they had a good chat. Jiang Shang was appointed as the strategist of King Wen and later became the founding hero of the Zhou Dynasty.
After Zhou Wenwang's death, Zhou Wuwang succeeded to the throne. He got help from Jiang Shang and Zhou Gongdan, and the country prospered. At that time, the rule of Shang Dynasty was more decadent. Zhou Wuwang was determined to destroy the Shang Dynasty. It is said that Zhou Xian sent people there to inspect the enemy's situation, and when he came back, he said that all the good people had been expelled by Zhou Wang. King Wu thinks the time is not yet ripe. Finally, people who looked at the Shang Dynasty reported that people in the Shang Dynasty were silent and afraid to speak. King Wu thought the time had come, so he joined forces with the tribes in the west and south to attack Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
The war began with konoha in the suburbs of Shangdu. At that time, Shang and Zhou armies were fighting in Dongyi, and it was too late to bring them back. Temporarily arm a large number of slaves and go to the front. The slaves hated Zhou Wang for a long time, so they revolted in front of the front line and led Zhou Wuwang's army to attack the merchants. Zhou Wang was forced to climb the most magnificent palace-Lutai, covered in jewels, and then set himself on fire. Thus the Shang Dynasty perished.
