With the expansion of territory, Emperor Xin and the ruling class of the Shang Dynasty also focused on the southeast.
However, Emperor Xin's successive campaigns greatly consumed the Shang Dynasty's national power and further intensified domestic conflicts.
At this time, Emperor Xin's campaign to the southeast also left the country empty of troops.
This gave the Zhou tribe in the northwest an opportunity to take advantage of.
This is very similar to the Sui Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, in the words of people now or after the Sui Dynasty, they resorted to militarism, which ultimately aroused domestic conflicts and overthrew their dominance.
The Shang Dynasty was even more dangerous because when Emperor Xin came to the throne, the Shang Dynasty had already ruled for nearly 600 years.
Although the Shang Dynasty's national power was still strong, the aristocratic ruling group of the Shang Dynasty had become increasingly corrupt and degenerate.
Of course, the same was true for Emperor Xin in his later years.
During this period, class conflicts have led to increasingly acute conflicts with lower-class civilians and slaves.
Even some tribes in Fang State began to rebel and surrendered to Zhou State.
In the end, the Zhou State took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Shang Dynasty was stranded in the southeast, and used its elite troops to directly enter the royal territory of the Shang Dynasty.
However, Di Xin was caught off guard and could only respond hastily.
Finally, in the Battle of Muye, the Shang Dynasty was defeated and perished.
The reason for the defeat and demise of the Shang Dynasty was that the Shang Dynasty placed its center in the southeast and did not have much military strength in the country.
In addition, during the Battle of Muye, a large number of slave regiments from the Shang Dynasty defected before the battle.
If the Zhou Dynasty had not taken advantage of this opportunity, it would have been difficult for the Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Shang Dynasty.
Moreover, the Shang Dynasty perished, but the Yin and Shang forces did not.
Isn't this strange? Even if Emperor Xin was destroyed, there were actually many merchants in other places, and the Shang Dynasty's southern expedition troops still existed.
Moreover, after King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he also knew that it would be difficult for him as the king of a "small state" to rule the originally huge area of the Shang Dynasty.
The Zhou state was only stronger than some loose tribal alliances and Fang states, and the Yin and Shang Dynasties were the "big states".
Even after the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, it was still called "Da Bang Yin".
King Wu's destruction of the merchants was like a snake swallowing an elephant. This is why King Wu of Zhou implemented the enfeoffment system after establishing the Zhou Dynasty, because he could not rule such a large area.
Even long after the demise of the Yin and Shang dynasties, merchants were still everywhere, such as the Indians who had been spreading widely.
Recently, the topic of Indians has been brought up frequently by the media.
In fact, when everyone sees the photos of Indians, they feel very friendly.
Because their facial features and skin color look so similar to Chinese people!
So are the ancestors of Indians really Chinese?
In fact, this is a question that historians and archaeologists have always been interested in, and there are various opinions.
Some people believe that Columbus discovered the New World of America, and the Indians living on this land were naturally native to the Americas.
However, so far, no fossils of great apes and Homo erectus have been found on the American continent, so this statement is obviously untenable.
Nowadays, more and more scholars tend to believe that Indians are the descendants of Chinese people.
In the Tang Dynasty's "Book of Liang Zhuyi Zhuan", there is such a record: "The Kingdom of Tattoo is more than 7,000 miles northeast of the Japanese state... The Han Kingdom is more than 5,000 miles east of the Kingdom of Tattoo... Fusang is located
The Han Dynasty is more than 20,000 miles east..."
"Book of Liang·Zhu Yi Zhuan" also specifically introduces the situation of monk Huishen's visit to Fusang Kingdom.
According to the above records, there is a tattoo country more than 7,000 miles northeast of the Japanese country, roughly near the Aleutian Islands.
The indigenous people here do have the custom of tattooing, and the Indians in the Americas have always advocated the culture of tattooing.
The Han Kingdom is more than 5,000 miles east of Tattoo Country. According to calculations, it should be roughly in Alaska, and the Fuso Country should be in the southern part of the North American continent.
It can be seen that in the 5th century AD, Chinese people came to the American continent, which was much earlier than Europeans arrived in the American continent.
What is even more surprising is that there are
Scholars believe that the Chinese people came to the American continent as early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Around 1066 BC (the 11th year of King Wu of Zhou), the Zhou Dynasty’s army unexpectedly attacked Chaoge, the capital of the Yin and Shang kingdoms. The Yin and Shang dynasties responded in a hurry. As a result, the entire army was annihilated, and the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.
The Yin Shang Dynasty was in the east of the mountain with 250,000 troops.
But no new country was established, and it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
There is no record in the history books of later generations. What is going on?
Therefore, some people speculate that the Yin people crossed the ocean and came to the American continent.
This is by no means a random guess, but is based on a lot of facts.
Shortly after the Yin people disappeared from the land of China, the Olmec civilization appeared far across the ocean in Mexico.
This is also the oldest known American civilization, which existed and flourished in Mesoamerica from about 1200 BC to 400 BC.
Among the unearthed cultural relics of the Olmec period, people found that they have very typical Yin and Shang cultural characteristics.
In 1955, the Jade Gui of Larta Artifact No. 4 was unearthed in Mexico. It was engraved with four symbols and was considered to be the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago!
Archaeological expert Chen Hanping interpreted the general meaning of these four symbols: rulers and leaders established the foundation of the kingdom.
In addition, people found pottery with three legs in the Americas, and used jade as tomb decorations and papermaking techniques.
There are also many dragon-themed works in Mexican literary and artistic works.
The drainage channels of the Indians also reflect Dayu's thoughts on water control.
According to research by some experts at home and abroad, around 1000 BC, the defeated Yin Shang troops crossed the ocean and came to America.
They brought agricultural irrigation technology and various professional knowledge to the local area, creating the Olmec civilization.
In today's Mexico, some people admit that their ancestors are Yin people.
Not only in the secret countries of North America and South America, Bolivia and other countries, there are also many archaeological discoveries related to Chinese culture.
It is said that the name of the highest freshwater lake in South America, "Lake Titicaca", comes from a legend.
Two Chinese men discovered this beautiful plateau lake, and later people named it "Brother Brother Lake", which gradually evolved into "Lake Titicaca".
Modern genetic science has also proved that the DNA of Indians and the DNA of Asians are very similar.
Therefore, by simply thinking about it, you can roughly outline the scene at that time:
After the defeat of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the 250,000 soldiers and civilians in Dongyi took ships and marched eastward. After going through many hardships and dangers, they finally arrived at the American continent and gained a new life in a foreign land.
The Yin people established a country and developed a high degree of civilization according to the cultural traditions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Their descendants are the ancestors of the Indians.
Out of yearning for their hometown, the Yin people in America greet each other with "Yin Di'an" when they meet each other.
In the 15th century, when Columbus came to America, he heard "Yin Di'an".
At this time, he mistakenly thought that he had arrived at the legendary Insan, and later called the locals "Indians".
