Shang was originally a tribe with swallows as its totem in the Eastern Xia Dynasty, and its ancestors were Qi. When Yu established the Xia Dynasty, the Shang clan had just entered the patriarchal clan system. When he went to Shang Tang as a tribal leader, it happened to be the time when Jie, the last king of the Xia Dynasty, was in power. Xia Jie ruled the darkness, did not repair state affairs, and was arrogant and extravagant. It is said that Jay has a strong physique and great strength. He can break hard horns with one hand, dare to fight wild animals with his bare hands, and once went deep into the pool to slay monsters alone. He looks like a great hero, but he is extremely corrupt and tyrannical in his bones. During his reign, he sent troops to crusade against neighboring small countries many times, alienating the small countries that surrendered to Xia. In order to strengthen the control of neighboring countries, Xia Jie once sent troops to crusade against You Shi, but You Shi knew he could resist. In order to avoid the country's demise, he chose a stunning beauty named Sister Xi and dedicated it to Xia Jie. Xia Jie saw the beautiful girl's sister-in-law, so she went home with her brother-in-law, and stayed with her all day. In order to please my sister-in-law, Xia Jie tried to recruit civilian workers at home and built a palace for her. So the palace is so high that it looks like it will fall down, so it is called "Tilting Palace". There are Qiongshi, Empress Yao, ivory cloister and white jade carving bed in the palace. He and his sister-in-law have fun in the palace all day, which is ridiculous to the extreme. People in Xia Dynasty hated Jie's rule, and no one wanted to work for such a dissolute tyrant. Xia ruling group also fell apart, full of contradictions.
In the face of tyranny, Tang, the leader of the Shang clan, adopted the political strategy of "being lenient with others" in order to win the hearts of the people and expand his power. When any country was in trouble, he took the initiative to provide relief, and actively collected information about the Xia Jie regime through the Internet, making active preparations for the further elimination of the Xia Dynasty.
Seeing the growing Shang clan, Tang's political influence is increasing day by day, which has seriously threatened his rule. He was afraid, so he listened to the courtier Zhao Liang, pretended to call Tang into the court, and took the opportunity to imprison him in the summer terrace. After Shang Tang was imprisoned by Xia Jie, there was no leader, and the great cause of the Shang family's suppression of the summer was seriously affected. Under the auspices of Yi Yin, the Shang tribe collected many beautiful women's jewels and offered them to Zhao Liang in secret, so that the greedy Zhao Liang excused Tang in front of Jie. Finally, Xia Jie listened to Zhao Liang and let Shang Tang go.
After Shang Tang was put back, he strengthened his determination to destroy the summer and prepared for the war. He first wiped out the small countries such as Wei, Gu and Kunwu, which were closely related to Xia. After full strength preparation, he led the army to destroy Xia in BC 1600. Before the Shang army went to war, Shang Tang mobilized to the death, elaborated on Xia Jie's crimes, and explained that he sent troops to destroy the summer for justice, calling on all ministries to fight bravely and wipe out Xia Jie's dark rule in one fell swoop. After the swearing-in, the Shang army went to Chengfa and Shang Tang, the capital of Xia Dynasty, with neat banners and high morale, and sat in a chariot, holding an axe in his hand to command the three armies. At this time, Xia Jie can no longer attend to pleasure. He mobilized troops overnight and set up several lines of defense to stop the attack of the Shang army. However, Xia Jie's rule over the years was very unpopular, and the army was lax in discipline and ineffective in command. When the two armies fought, Xia Jun was quickly defeated. Genial smile that, Xia Jie rate beaten army fled to Mingtiao, the two armies in Mingtiao decisive battle. As a result, the Shang army won a great victory, and Jie escaped from the battlefield with several guards. It is said that he later died in Chao County, Anhui Province, and the Xia Dynasty was declared dead.
