Reborn as a fiend statue

The three people mentioned by Emperor Zisheng were all famous figures in the Shang Dynasty, and they were also key figures.

Every person has extraordinary significance.

Zilu, also known as Tianyi, is the fourteenth generation descendant of Shangtang, Chengtang, Qi, the son of Zhugui, and the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty.

The Shang Dynasty was established after Shang Tang conquered Xia, and the surname became the royal family.

Zi Shou, also known as Zi Xin, Emperor Xin, was the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty and the youngest son of Emperor Yi. He was known as "Zhou" and "King Zhou of Shang".

The Shang Dynasty was glorious because of Emperor Xin, and also collapsed because of Emperor Xin.

He is an indelible mark of the Shang Dynasty.

Zixi, also known as Youhouxi, is a descendant of Ziyou of Youhou Kingdom, and a descendant of Wuding together with Emperor Xin.

Youhou Xi was the last Youhou in the reign of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He and Emperor Xin were as close as brothers and were deeply favored by Emperor Xin.

He made great contributions to the expansion of the Dongyi region for the Shang Dynasty.

If the Xia Empire only offered sacrifices to Shang Tang and Emperor Xin, Yu Yi would not think of anything.

I just think that Tianyuan Continent has something similar to the Shang Dynasty on Earth.

After all, there are many similarities between the heavens and the world, so it is not surprising.

But Zi Sheng emphasized the founder of the Zhu Xia Empire, Zi Xi, and Yu Yi had to pay attention to it.

In the history of the earth, when King Wu was conquering Zhou, Zixi was leading an expedition against Dongyi.

After Chaoge City was captured, Zixi and his 150,000 expeditionary troops suddenly disappeared on their way back.

Scholars have made numerous speculations about the disappearance of Zixi and his expeditionary force.

To sum up, the main ones are as follows:

The first is the theory of the Song Dynasty. Experts speculate that Zixi and his 150,000 expeditionary troops turned the army into civilians and lived a common life in the land of Weizi, the Duke of Song Dynasty.

The second is the Luoyang theory, which means that 150,000 people returned to the territory of Luoyang after the Battle of Muye.

Since the expeditionary force had no means of production, it began to engage in business and became the forerunner of modern "businessmen".

The third is the theory of Korea and Korea, that is, the expeditionary army surrendered to Jizi on the way to the Eastern Expedition.

From then on, the Korean fiefdom rooted in Jizi became the ancestor of the Korean people.

The fourth is the theory of destruction. After Zhou destroyed Shang, hundreds of thousands of troops were also wiped out.

The last one, and the one most recognized by many scholars, is the Yin people's eastward journey.

Some scholars believe that Zixi led the expedition along Siberia and eventually crossed the Bering Strait and settled in America, becoming the ancestor of the Indians.

The first person to put forward this theory was Medhurst, an English scholar. It was he who speculated that the Yin people migrated eastwards.

American scholar Michael Shen proposed in his book "The First Civilization of the Americas" that

The Olmec civilization in America appeared in history near the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and its characteristics have many similarities with the Yin and Shang civilization.

This statement aroused the interest of many Chinese people, such as Chinese masters Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei. Later, Guo Moruo also believed in this statement.

Scholar Wang Dayou is also a supporter of the theory of Yin people's eastward journey.

In "Illustrations of American Totems", he elaborated on the similarities between the Yin Shang civilization and the Olmec civilization as evidence for the Yin people's eastward migration:

1. The Yin and Shang Dynasties were in the Bronze Age. Bronze human heads unearthed in Mexico look similar to Chinese people.

2. Olmec jade guis are engraved with graphics similar to oracle bone inscriptions.

3. The Olmecs love jade as much as the Chinese.

4. The tiger head pattern on the Olmec jade is strikingly similar to the tiger head pattern on the Shang Dynasty jade.

Some archaeologists even unearthed six jade pieces in the Olmec civilization ruins, with the inscription "

Some hieroglyphic-like symbols.

According to the interpretation of relevant scholars, this is the text of the Shang Dynasty, and it contains the exact genealogy of the names of the distant ancestors, great ancestors, first ancestors, ancestors and kings of the Yin people.

Based on various legends about the fall of the Shang Dynasty, Yu Yi connected all the clues to the origins of the Xia empires in Tianyuan Continent and made an inference.

On Earth, Shang Tang conquered Xia, overthrew Xia Jie and established the Shang Dynasty. After 17 generations and 30 emperors, it was passed to Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin was a talented and strategic emperor, and he sent Youhou Xi to conquer Dongyi.

He himself attacked Jiu Miao in the south and extended the Shang Dynasty's sphere of influence to the East China Sea and the Yangtze River Basin.

Internally, he opposed theocracy, advocated meritocracy, opposed slavery, and suppressed the theocratic factions headed by Dong Bohou and Queen Jiang.

His violent methods aroused strong opposition from conservative factions in the country.

King Wu Jifa took advantage of the situation when the Shang Dynasty was conquering all directions and the country was empty, so he took advantage of the situation and raised troops.

There were not enough elite soldiers in Chaoge City to defeat the enemy, so Emperor Xin had to arm a large number of slaves and prisoners of war, together with the troops guarding Chaoge City, and march to Muye to fight.

The elite Zhou army came out, defeated the slave army, and used strategies to make the slave army switch sides.

The victory in the Battle of Muye could not completely shake the rule of the Shang Dynasty.

Because Emperor Xin was able to rely on the high walls and thick walls of Chaoge City and the remaining imperial troops to hold on, waiting for the return of the 150,000-strong army that conquered Dongyi.

However, the enemies that Emperor Xin had to face came not only from the Zhou army and various princes, but also from the nobles in Chaoge City.

There are more conservatives in Chaoge City than he thought.

According to the official history revised by the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xin only had one son named Wu Geng.

However, according to unofficial records, Emperor Xin had three sons, namely Wu Geng, Zijiao and Zihong.

Wu Geng was born to Daji.

Zijiao and Zihong were born to Empress Jiang and belonged to the conservative school.

Yu Yi was speechless when he thought of this.

Emperor Xin's name was Zixin, and one of his sons was named Zihong.

In the Zhuxia Empire, Zixin and Zihong became half-brothers, which is somewhat funny.

He pulled his thoughts back and continued to recall and infer things about the Shang Dynasty.

In the history books of the Zhou Dynasty and later, King Wen of Zhou Jichang was of noble character and was known as the ancient sage, but he gave birth to hundreds of sons!

There are 17 certificates in history that can be tested!

It is enough to prove how many concubines King Wen of Zhou had.

Emperor Xin only had three sons in his life, but he was accused of being a delinquent and immoral person. It is really ridiculous.

Could it be that Emperor Xin had countless concubines because he could not have any children?

So where did his three sons come from?

Therefore, history is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

It is a well-known fact that the latter dynasty was in the dark and the former dynasty was in the dark.

King Wu of Zhou was not in the right position, so he would definitely try to infiltrate the Shang Dynasty to show his legitimate status.

After the Zhou army won the Battle of Muye, they arrived at Chaoge City.

Emperor Xin's two princes, Zijiao and Zihong, were unwilling to let their mother clan be suppressed and did not want to lose the support of the divine power.

The two secretly joined forces with Wei Ziqi, Wei Zhongyan and other conservatives to quietly open the city gate and let the Zhou army into the city.

When Emperor Xin saw that his closest relatives had all been betrayed, he was in despair. Knowing that the situation was over, he boarded the Lutai in despair and "covered his jewels and burned himself to death in the fire."

The Shang Dynasty officially fell.

The 150,000 expeditionary force led by Zixi returned non-stop for reinforcements. Halfway through, they were shocked to hear that Chaoge City had been destroyed and Emperor Xin set himself on fire.

Youhouxi knew that the situation was over, and letting the expeditionary force rush to Chaoge City now was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

After a brief decision, he decided to lead the expedition north

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, keep moving forward along the bitter cold zone in the north.

Zixi's original purpose was to search for a new continent, find a new habitat, survive and develop, and wait until he accumulated enough strength to counterattack the Zhou Dynasty and regain the Shang Dynasty.

However, when Zixi and his expeditionary force were marching on the vast ice field, they accidentally encountered some kind of time and space dislocation and fell into Tianyuan Continent.

Because of the strong vitality of Tianyuan Continent, Zixi and his expeditionary force activated their cultivation talents and began their life of struggle for hegemony in Tianyuan Continent.

Not long after, evil gods invaded the mainland, and all races were in danger.

Zixi led the expeditionary force and participated in the war against the evil god.

The evil gods invaded, crippled and destroyed the old human empire in Tianyuan Continent.

Zixi took advantage of the situation to rise and grow stronger, establishing the Zhuxia Empire.

He made brilliant achievements in Tianyuan Continent and became the founding emperor of the Zhuxia Empire.

Unfortunately, the fate of his old leader Di Xin was not so good.

Emperor Xin's reforms failed and he was crazily infiltrated by the Zhou Dynasty.

It has also been added to by scholars of all dynasties.

A talented and strategic emperor almost became a crazier emperor than Xia Jie and was scolded for thousands of years.

The Zhou Dynasty's slander against Emperor Xin can be inferred from the "Oath of Shepherd".

"The Oath of Shepherd" says: "Now the king of Shang accepts it, but the woman said it was for use, and she fainted and abandoned it, and she did not respond.

The king's parents and younger brother were left behind in a faint state, but many sins from all directions escaped.

He is respected and respected, he is trusted and envoys, he is a great official and a minister, so that he can be cruel to the people and treacherous to the merchants."

The several crimes listed in "The Oath of Pastoral Care" are all ridiculous.

In order to prove the legitimacy of his crusade against King Zhou of Shang, King Wu of Zhou listed several crimes of Emperor Xin:

1. The hen is in charge of the morning, and the woman is in charge of politics.

Second, do not perform sacrifices, do not respect ancestors, and do not fear gods.

Third, not appointing relatives, employing people inappropriately.

Fourth, accommodate and employ sinners, and reuse slaves.

Let’s talk about the first crime first: the hen is in charge of the morning, and the woman is interfering in politics.

In the patriarchal era, women had a low status and could not participate in politics. This was the tradition of the feudal dynasty.

Although there have been many strong political women in subsequent dynasties, they are, after all, exceptions and it is difficult to get their names "justified."

But the problem is that patriarchal society is based on matrilineal clans.

The ancient times of Shang and Zhou were at the end of matrilineal clan society.

This was only the initial stage of patriarchal society. Although women's status was not as good as men's, it was still relatively high.

The more famous Yin Shang general Fu Hao was the wife of Shang King Wu Ding. She could not only lead troops in war, but was also a priest.

In a slave country that attached great importance to religious sacrifices, the fact that a woman held the power of the army and sacrifices at the same time showed that the Shang Dynasty did not despise women.

In addition, there is the famous "Simuwu Ding". The Ding is both a food vessel and a ritual vessel, which has important symbolic significance.

To commemorate a woman, spending national resources to cast huge vessels also illustrates the important status of women in the Shang Dynasty.

The ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty is the famous "Farmer God Houji".

The Zhou people themselves were a farming nation, so their patriarchal power was strengthened and they were very disgusted with women being involved in politics.

The difference in the distribution of gender power between the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty was determined by the different social division of labor under the two social models, and it cannot be regarded as a fault in itself.

However, King Wu of Zhou wanted to take down Di Xin, so he forcibly went into the dark.

He can even find excuses for women to interfere in politics, and he is really using every possible means.
