King Wu who defeated Zhou (Part 2)

In short, Ji Chang and King Zhou of Shang were considered in-laws, and their mother and wife were all from Youshen Kingdom.

Because King Zhou of Shang was afraid of Ji Chang's power in Xiqi, he imprisoned Ji Chang and disappeared. On weekdays, he did not dare to impose severe punishment on Ji Chang except for beating him to relieve his boredom.

The jailer came over with food and mocked Ji Chang, "There may not be anyone like you in the world, even his own son wants to eat?"

Ma Doudou covered Zhiguoguo's mouth, he was afraid that Zhiguoguo would make the jailer discover them if there was any movement.

Madou once heard from Zhi's mother that when King Zhou of Shang imprisoned Xibo in Chaoge, he chopped his eldest son Bo Yikao into meat sauce and forced Ji Chang to eat his own flesh and blood.

Ji Chang ignored the sarcasm of the prisoner, silently took the food from the jailer, and returned to his quilt and pretended to eat.

The prison guard sneered, "You are really heartless, so enjoyable. Maybe one day the king will order you to be punished with a slaughter."

Ji Chang still ignored the prisoner's words. The prisoner felt a little bored to talk to himself and walked away.

Life passed for a while, and Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were with Ji Chang, eating, drinking and sleeping with Ji Chang.

Suddenly one day, the sound of fighting came from outside the prison. A man in armor and a red cloak cleaves the door lock on the prison with the sharp sword in his hand.

"Mr. Father, you have suffered, Fa'er is here!" Ji Fa's eyes shed tears, and he knelt directly in front of Ji Chang with a thud.

Ji Chang trembled with his hands and helped Ji Fa up who was kneeling on the ground, "Fa'er, please get up, it's a pity that your elder brother..."

Ji Chang said this and choked and the pain of food made him vomit.

"Hurry up, help the king and father out." Just as Ji Fa ordered his followers to help Ji Chang out, he found that there were two children in strange costumes in the prison.

Madoudou protected Zhiguoguo behind him and introduced himself to Ji Fa in front of him, "These days are Grandpa Ji Chang protecting us. My name is Madoudou. This is my sister Zhiguoguo."

Xibo Hou Jichang waved to Madou and Zhiguoguo, and signaled the brother and sister to come to him. "You can go back to Xiqi with us."

Because the world was not decided, for the safety of Ji Chang, Ma Doudou and Zhiguoguo, on the same day, Ji Fa sent them back to Xiqi.

Not long after Madoudou and Zhiguoguo returned to Xiqi with Ji Chang, good news came from Chaoge.

After the Battle of Muye, the army led by Ji Fa completely occupied the Shang Dynasty capital Chaoge, captured King Zhou of Shang, and declared the demise of the Shang Dynasty.

Ji Fa later established his capital in Haojing (now southwest of Xi'an, Shaanxi), posthumously named his father Ji Chang as King Wen, and divided the princes into princes, establishing the third dynasty in Chinese history, the Zhou Dynasty.

Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were deeply saddened when they saw that the Shang Dynasty established by Shang Tang was destroyed by Emperor Zhou of Shang.

After Madoudou and Zhiguoguo bid farewell to Ji Chang in Xiqi, the brother and sister took out the small wooden door again and shouted "Sesame opens the door, change." Who will they meet in the next itinerary?

【Sesame brother and sister have something to say】

King Wu's attack on Zhou happened around 1046 BC. King Wu of Zhou Ji Fa led the Zhou and the various princes to launch an army to attack Emperor Xin of Shang (King Zhou of Shang), and finally established the Zhou Dynasty and destroyed Shang.

When it comes to King Wu's attack on Zhou, we have to mention the "Muye Battle". The Battle of Muye was the decisive battle between King Wu of Wu of defeating Zhou, and the decisive battle between King Wu of Zhou and the Shang Dynasty army in Muye (now south of Qi County, north of Weihe, near Xinxiang City).

Because Emperor Xin (King Zhou of Shang) first conquered Li in the northwest and then pacified the southeastern Yi. Although he achieved victory, he was able to gain military strength, which intensified social and class contradictions. Finally, he was defeated and self-immolated, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. Therefore, "Zuo Zhuan" says that "Zhou defeated the Eastern Yi and damaged his body."
