In ancient times, "shou" and "Zhou" were homophones, so they were called, also known as or Yin. Zhou is tall and burly, smart and versatile, brave and intelligent, and can fight wild animals with his bare hands. And he is eloquent, so he is arrogant and never listens to the advice of officials. Di Yi led the army to conquer the people twice. Although he did not completely defeat the people, he brought temporary peace to the southeast of Shang Dynasty. Due to the conquest of Yu Fang, the contradiction in the eastern region was greatly alleviated. After Zhou ascended the throne, he was greedy for pleasure and lived in luxury. He hung out with beautiful women all day and often drank and had fun all night. The nobles in the royal family followed suit, and they have always been extravagant. In order to please Zhou, some courtiers often put forward various ways of playing to Zhou. There are few amusement places in Shangdu (now Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan Province), which have been occupied by ancestral halls and tombs since Pan Geng. In addition, there are many sacrificial activities every year, so it was ordered to build a detached palace pavilion in the south of Shangdu Chao Ge (now seven counties in southern Hebei). On the dune of Handan (now Handan City, Hebei Province) north of Shangdu (now northeast of Pingxiang City, Hebei Province), Yuan Linting, which is more than 200 miles long from north to south, was built. A big garden was built in the sand dune, in which animals were raised and fruit trees were planted for him to hunt and round up.
Zhou Wang is cruel. Not only those who oppose him, but also his cronies and servants who give him good suggestions will be severely punished. Those who are light will be disabled for life, and those who are heavy will die. The Dongyi tribe did not want to endure Zhou's atrocities and rose up against the Shang Dynasty. Zhou Wang was furious and decided to conquer here. A large amount of military expenditure has made people's lives even more miserable. Zhou Wang adopted a compulsory policy towards some neighboring vassal states, taking everything from grain, cattle and sheep to jewelry and jade. There was a small state-owned Su (now Wuzhi East, Henan Province) next to Qinyang (Yi) Hunting Area in Shang Dynasty. Because of the small population and products, there has been a lack of tributes, so I thought Sue was deliberately anti-business, so I sent someone to fight. Sue couldn't help it. She knew that Zhou likes beautiful women, so she had to choose a beautiful woman named da ji from among her people to show her tolerance. Seeing that da ji was born beautifully, he was in a good mood, so he withdrew his troops to avoid paying tribute.
After the Su family conquered, the vassal states did not dare to resist the tribute, and the human side was the eastern foreign country, which was the main goal of the conquest. Zhou led tens of thousands of merchants to attack Dongyi. Zhou also ordered the Eastern vassal states to send troops to help the merchants cut down here. In this huge expedition, there is a team composed of elephants. These elephants were captured, domesticated, used as piggyback tools, and also used as "weapons" to attack the enemy during the expedition. The tribes of Dongyi can't stand the attack of the Shang army. After several battles, many soldiers were captured by the merchants, so Dongyi had to surrender. In order to maintain the long-term stability of Dongyi, the Shang army was stationed. Because a large number of business troops stayed behind, frequent contacts between the DPRK and the United States promoted the economic and cultural development of the southeast region. He also took a short period of Antai. But at the same time, the vassal States also planted the seeds of dissatisfaction.
Life is more luxurious, and I have no intention to manage state affairs. In order to make up for the increase in economic expenditure caused by the election campaign, we passed all these burdens on to the people by increasing taxes. Da ji likes to watch songs and dances, so he ordered musicians to create a peculiar saliva dance. Hunting prevailed in Shang dynasty, which was even more unscrupulous. It does not hesitate to abandon the excellent farmland near Shangdu and let animals trample on it at will for the enjoyment of nobles. In order to satisfy his sensual pleasure, he actually came up with the method of "wine pool meat forest", which is to fill wine in artificially dug ponds. It is said that the wine in the pool can paddle in it for thousands of people to have a carnival. "Meat forest" means hanging meat on trees, and people can reach out and pick it at will. Whenever courtiers in Zhou Wang had fun, they ordered groups of naked men and women to have fun in the meat forest of the wine pool, often partying all night. Zhou Wang courtiers Fei Zhong, Fei Lian, Loy and Chonghouhu often framed and slandered Zhongliang. He invented the method of branding torture. The punishment of "burning" is to cast a hollow pillar with bronze, tie the "sinner" to the pillar, burn it on it, and burn people alive. These inhuman atrocities aroused the opposition of North Korean rulers and ministers. Mei Bo, a vassal of North Korea, repeatedly advised him not to abuse heavy punishment on his subjects. He went his own way and killed Mabel. He also chopped him into meat paste and gave it to the ministers, and announced that there would be another admonisher who would be punished accordingly. Jiuhou (sealed in Linzhang, Hebei Province today), one of the three governors of Shang Dynasty (Xibo, Jiuhou and Ehou), had a beautiful woman who was told by Zhou to be elected to the palace. Nine Hou objected because he didn't like the lewdness of Zhou and da ji, and was killed by Zhou. Hubei Gong, who is also a public official (sealed in the northwest of Qinyang, Henan Province), sued Zhou for this matter and was also killed. Later, his body was mummified and publicly displayed. Xibo Jichang was in Shangdu. When he saw the two men being killed one after another, he just sighed and said, "It's too much." Chonghouhu listened to the report and ordered Xibo to be imprisoned.
After the news of Xibo's imprisonment spread to the next week, Zhou ministers such as Sanyisheng expected that he was a profitable courtier and a man who was overjoyed, so he chose a beautiful woman in Xinzhou (now southeast of Heyang, Shaanxi Province) and some beautiful horses, beautiful jade and treasures in Xirong to help him intercede for Xibo. When Xin's family met, they were very happy and said, "This thing (referring to beauty) is enough to release Xibo. How much is it? " So he ordered Xibo to be released, and gave Xibo bows, arrows, axes, cymbals and other weapons, giving Xibo the right to conquer princes. He also said: "Those who worship Xibo worship Houhu." Xibo gave up the place west of Luoshui and demanded that the penalty of "branding" be abolished. He promised to return Xibo to Zhou.
When they indulged in debauchery, singing and dancing, Zhou people began to retaliate against businessmen.
