The three dynasties of Wu, Cheng, and Kang were politically clean and bright, which was the golden age of the Zhou Dynasty. But when the fourth emperor, King Zhou Zhao, came into crisis. At that time, the royal power was weak, and King Zhao of Zhou was the emperor. When he patrolled the Han River in the south, he
He was assassinated by a boatman using a special rubber boat and was buried in the belly of a fish. After King Zhou Mu succeeded to the throne, in order to restore the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty, he created a new position of Taipu as the head of the Taiyu servants to strengthen the central management of the dynasty.
. He formulated criminal laws and lightened penalties to strengthen control over his subjects and implement good governance in the world. He conquered the Quanrong in the west and captured the Yi people in the south. He actively defended against the intrusion of remote ethnic groups and stopped plundering. King Mu also once tried to pacify Xu in the east.
The Xu Yi tribes led by King Yan rebelled and attacked the Chu State in the south. They gathered the princes at Tushan Mountain.
After King Mu of Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty gradually declined. King Zhou Gong, King Zhou Yi, King Zhou Xiao, and King Zhou Yi. Due to the constant intrusion from the surrounding Rongchao, the dynasty fell into long-term wars, which consumed a lot of national power and had to increase the burden on the people.
Exploitation, domestic conflicts became increasingly acute. Some nobles also began to go bankrupt, thus showing their dissatisfaction with reality.
Long-term conflicts gradually accumulated, causing the dynasty to have a profound crisis. Under such circumstances, King Zhou Li, who succeeded to the throne, not only did not take measures to appease the people and develop people's livelihood, but instead appointed sycophants, squandered money, and went on foreign campaigns year after year, intensifying his efforts.
Depriving and monopolizing the benefits of mountains and rivers aroused dissatisfaction and discussion among the people. He sent wizards to monitor and kill those who discussed, making the conflict more acute. Three years later, the angry residents of Haojing finally launched a riot and exiled King Li
When the pig arrived, the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao jointly took charge of the political power. This was called the "Republic of Zhou and Zhao" in the history of China in the Chaos World. The first year of the Republic was 841 BC, and the history of China began from this year.
Clear and continuous chronology. After the death of King Zhou Li, his son King Xuan reorganized the government affairs and once revived the Zhou Dynasty. But by the time of the twelfth emperor, King Zhou You, the crisis of the dynasty became more serious. An earthquake occurred in the Guanzhong area
, serious natural disasters such as landslides and river depletion, King You of Zhou not only did not provide compensation to the victims, but became even more extravagant, corrupt and greedy. In order to win the smile of his beloved concubine, King You used beacon fire to deceive the princes to come to the king. The most serious problem was that King You decided to abolish the throne.
After going to the Queen Shen clan, she killed the prince Yijiu, made Bao Si the queen, and made Bao Si's son Bo Fu the prince. Queen Shen's father, Shen Hou, then united with the Western tribe Quan Rong and raised an army to attack King Zhou You.
He killed King You and took Bao Si away. When King You's son Yijiu came to the throne, Guanzhong was plundered by war and was in dilapidated state. Dogs and soldiers came to harass him from time to time. King Ping of Zhou Yijiu had to move the capital to Luoyi, which was known as "Pingwang East" in history.
"Move", the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began.
Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, enfeoffed the descendants of the clan surnamed Ji and meritorious officials as princes of various countries, divided into five levels: Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, and male. Those who are not lower than the fifth level are all vassals. Among them, the descendants of the Ji surname have the largest number of feudal states, with 53.
, this is the origin of "feudalism" in the chaotic world of China's feudal lords with the same surname. The original intention of the Zhou rulers to enfeoff vassal states was to strengthen their rule over various places. But it was precisely because of this that at the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, those
Larger vassal states, in order to compete for land, population and dominance over other vassal states, constantly engage in annexation wars. Whoever wins will convene a meeting of the vassal states to force everyone to recognize his status as "overlord". They will fight for it one after another.
The overlords were: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Xianggang of Song, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mug of Qin, and King Zhuang of Chu. In the history of the chaotic world, they were called the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period". After a long period of conquests, the only major vassal state during the Warring States Period was Qi.
, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin and other seven countries, known as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period". It was not until 221 BC in the game that Qin Shihuang completed the unification of the ancient Central Plains and established the first unification in the history of China in the chaotic world
The feudal dynasty. King Qin Yingzheng established his capital in Xianyang, calling himself the "First Emperor". He wanted to make the rule of the Qin Dynasty extend for thousands of generations, but he never expected that it would only be passed to the fourth emperor in less than a hundred years.
The Qin Dynasty perished. Although he took various measures to consolidate his rule, his dictatorship and excessive taxation had already laid the seeds of disaster.
Looking at the past history of China in the game, Wu Jie slowly said to Lei Huo: "In 221 BC in the game, King Qin Yingzheng unified China with extremely powerful means, and expected that his Qin Dynasty would rule forever. It is a pity that the First Emperor died.
Later, the nobles of various countries who were originally destroyed by him came forward one after another, forming a situation where the heroes were divided again. Among them, the two empires of Chu and Qin were especially powerful. On the surface, the countries seemed to be in peace, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.
." At this point, Wu Jie's tone became deep and authentic: "The people are living and working in peace and contentment, but in fact the war has never stopped. In the name of orthodoxy, the two empires accused each other of being rebels and fought with anger.
The so-called "Holy War" has been going on for more than a thousand years. In this war that started since the founding of the People's Republic of China, both sides have their own victories and defeats, and no one can do anything to the other. Both countries are working hard to develop politics and economy and improve the lives of their people. The war has always been
Wandering in the vast ungoverned area between the Chu Empire's Huaqu Pass (now the Sun-Destroying Fortress) and the Qin Empire's Baiqi Fortress - the 'Tianya' Grand Canyon. In fact, everyone knows the purpose of the war, so
It is to conquer our opponents and realize the ambition left by our ancestors - to unify the entire continent of China. Until now, we are still just a tool to implement this goal."
Lei Huo smiled and nodded in approval. He asked another question, "Then what do you think of the current war and the enemy and us?"
When Wu Jie heard his question, he couldn't help but say harshly: "Actually, this war is just a joke. The sad thing is that the protagonist is us. Historically, the defenders of the Sun-Destroying Fortress have always been ordinary legions, and the Baiqi Fortress over there
The situation is not much better. This is because both fortresses have experienced nearly a thousand years of vicissitudes. Regardless of the strength, scale and defense system of the city, they have developed to an impeccable perfection. It is almost impossible to be captured from the front, so it is said that they are as solid as
"Golden soup" is no exaggeration to describe the defense of the two fortresses. If both sides want to capture the other's fortress, they must have thirty times more troops than the defenders and a group charge of more than one million people. The prerequisite is that the defenders must
We don’t have any reinforcements, just one army.”
Wu Jie solemnly recounted the facts he had learned about the existence, "Elite troops are controlled by nobles, great nobles, royal families, and royal families, and they are engaged in civil war for territory, treasure, women, face, and power. Whether it is Chu
Regardless of the country or the Western Qin Dynasty, more than ten times more soldiers died due to various "accidental conflicts" in the country than the soldiers who died in the conflict between the two fortresses. And the cause of the war between the two countries has gradually deteriorated.
It has become a game where princes kill in order to gain military exploits, often temporarily deploying the best legions in the country to participate in the battle. For example: the backstage of the 'Dragon-Eating' Golden Knights is Qin Ying, the eighth prince of the Qin Empire, 'Blood Killing'
'The backstage of the Golden Knights is the Fourth Prince Qin Nan."
After resting for a while because of the excitement, Wu Jie continued: "Fortunately, the Qin and Han Dynasties should have reached the point of terminal illness. I believe that they will withdraw to the distant capital of the Western Qin Empire soon. What we have to do is to defend ourselves during this period, and don't
It’s good if they can take advantage of them. As for the others, we are still too weak to do it!”
Lei Huo shook his head and said: "Although what you said is good, this time it is completely different. According to reliable information, Qin and Han made a secret will, claiming that no matter which prince would be qualified to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor only if he captured the Sun-Destroying Fortress.
This old bastard will not forget to invade our country until his death. We all know that dozens of princes in the Qin and Han Dynasties are either incompetent or underage. There are only four people who really meet the conditions: the eldest prince Qin Qiong is too drunk and loves exotic flowers and plants more than power. He has long been
The Qin and Han Dynasties were eliminated. The third prince was cowardly, honest, sincere and selfless, and could not survive in the dirty political arena. So only the sinister, vicious and unpredictable fourth prince Qin Nan and the talented and strategizing eighth prince Qin Ying were left. What do you think?
Would they go back that easily?"
Wu Jie took a breath of cold air, thinking of Lu Bu's appearance in Baiqi Fortress and the arrival of the two princes of Qin. Although he agreed with Lei Huo's view in his heart, he said something else in his mouth: "Can it be said that they are like this?"
Is this for real?"
Lei Huo said: "Yes. According to reliable information, this time the Qin and Han Dynasties allocated a total of one hundred of the most elite divisions to the two sons, allowing them to use them at will and give full play to their imagination in fighting. In other words, each of them has fifty
These divisions add up to more than one million elite soldiers."
"Does the higher ups know?" Wu Jie asked calmly. In fact, it was a fake appearance. In fact, he was already scared. Going to face millions of elite troops, he felt that it would be better to commit suicide. But for the sake of the boss
I have to continue to support my face.
Lei Huo nodded and said: "Of course! They have already asked for reinforcements from the Imperial Capital. But it will take ten days at the fastest to arrive." Wu Jie smiled bitterly. Lei Huo smiled slightly and continued: "Yes, the speed at which they gathered their legions and marched is really great."
It was too fast. Moreover, the previous concentration of troops in the country was even more unnoticed. By the time we found out, it was already ten days late. Before you came back a few days ago, their tentative attack was just to paralyze us.
.Maybe the real storm is coming!”
Wu Jie frowned and half-squinted his eyes. He was surprised and happy at the same time. What was surprising was that although he had learned about the arrival of the two princes of the Qin Kingdom at Baiqi Fortress and had a deep conversation with Lu Bu, he had a vague feeling that the Qin Kingdom was making big moves.
, but I didn’t expect them to move so fast and violently; and the upper echelons of the Qin State must have just made the decision not long ago, otherwise Lu Bu would not have told him in the Great Holy Ring. Of course, the possibility of Lu Bu having ulterior motives is not ruled out. Fortunately,
Lei Huo appears to have been addicted to wine and sex, living decadently, but he has always maintained the qualities a general should have - keeping a clear eye on the enemy.
