Chapter 5535: Destroy the country and seize the god
The ancestor said seriously: "Yes, it can be said that whether it is the appearance of ox carts, the way of using things for people, or the way of exchanging things for war, they all started from the era of Wang Hai and after his revenge. In the past,
The Shang tribe's transactions were limited to barter, but Wang Hai's trip north cost him his life.
, but in the process of avenging him, the Shang tribe tasted enough benefits. It turns out that this kind of transaction can directly bribe other tribes to send troops to help, and they can directly purchase prisoners of war from other tribes as their own slaves, instead of doing what they did before.
, you have to work hard to fight in order to obtain prisoners of war and become slaves."
"Since then, the Shang tribe has become accustomed to this model. It can provide other tribes with what they need and drive them to work for them. If we talk about the previous tribes in the world, the leaders of tribal alliances often convinced people with virtue and relied on their good reputation to strengthen them.
The great military strength convinced other tribes and took the initiative to surrender. For example, the Xia Dynasty was established because Dayu controlled the floods and saved all the tribes in the world.
, contacted the relationship, and let his son Xia Qi take charge of the army and be responsible for diplomatic liaison. Therefore, the tribes not only obeyed Dayu to express gratitude for his kindness, but also obeyed Xia Qi. After Dayu's death, they originally made a will to pass on the
The throne was given to the important minister Boyi, but all the princes in the world surrendered to Xia Qi and stayed away from Boyi. This made Xia Qi the first person to succeed after the death of his father and his son, and this ended the era of abdication."
"But no matter what, it still relies on virtue and reputation. If there are forces that do not recognize these virtues and reputation, such as the Hu clan, they will be destroyed by Xia Qi and all the princes in the world to prove that they are destined by destiny.
Returning to one's home can also be regarded as a kind of martial virtue, or it can be said that one has received orders from heaven."
"But the Shang tribe took another path to destroy the Yi family. This was a pure revenge battle to avenge the father. Even if the fault was on the father's side, it was not justified and was not considered a virtue. But Shang
The tribe still bribed various tribes to form a coalition, especially on the condition of those cattle, sheep and prisoners of war from the Youyi tribe, so that the powerful River Kingdom could stand on its side, abandoning the alliance with the Yi tribe for many years.
Standing in the Shang tribe
On the other side, if it were not for the support of the He Kingdom, the Shang tribe would not be able to destroy the powerful Yi tribe. After the war, the Shang tribe relied on cruel large-scale human sacrifices and not only slaughtered tens of thousands of Yi tribesmen, but also established the
In addition to their terrifying majesty, they also took over the territory where the Yi tribe was located. Their power developed from the land of Henan to Hebei. From a medium tribe, it suddenly became a powerful tribe in the east, or in other words, it vaguely became the Dongyi tribe.
Leader of the tribal alliance."
The black robe sighed: "No wonder Wang Hai was regarded as such an important ancestor in the Shang Dynasty. The scale of his sacrifices was second only to the ancestors of the Shang tribe. He even worshiped Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty.
However, in the eyes of his disciples, Shang Jiawei's cold-bloodedness is also an important reason for the development of the Shang tribe.
It is unprecedented to sacrifice tens of thousands of people as human beings. This method scared the barbaric and warlike ancient tribes. Killing people on the battlefield is not a big deal, but using various means to sacrifice these people is like cattle and sheep.
Slaughtered in the same way, this scene is so shocking even when I think about it, let alone when I witnessed it with my own eyes."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Yes, the Shang tribe has reached its peak this time. It has used all kinds of methods of killing sacrifices and souls to sacrifice to heaven. Some of them are still learned today, such as cutting the National People's Congress into eight pieces.
, this is actually what I learned from the Youyi tribe.
Yes, because this is how they executed Wang Hai. The different slaughtering, or execution methods, of the sacrifices were based on the unique witchcraft and rituals of each tribe before the souls could be sacrificed to the ancestors in heaven. This is what you two
It should also be very familiar."
Doupeng nodded: "Yes, killing is not the purpose. Let the ancestors and gods enjoy the soul as much as possible. This is the main reason for sacrifice. Therefore, our Tiandao Alliance started from the Shang tribe until now.
All deities have to complete such tasks
, Only in this way can we form a connection with the ancestors and gods in heaven, and obtain the blessings of the gods. After all, Shangjiawei is also a mortal. Without the guidance of the ancestors in heaven, I am afraid that he would not have thought of such a powerful method. Such a terrifying method will have the Yi family.
The tribe will destroy the country."
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, it is said that many of the oracles received by Shang Jiawei were guided by Wang Hai's soul in the sky, and the reason why Wang Hai's soul was not captured by the gods of the Yi tribe, but
God became a free god, and ancestors also
Because of his long-standing contribution to the Shang tribe, the journey back to the land of his ancestors was originally a calamity for Wang Hai to ascend to immortality and become a god. After this calamity, he could have become a god, but in the end he fell short.
Because I have never passed the beauty test,
He was killed by soldiers, but his soul was saved by the gods of the Shang tribe and was not swallowed by the evil gods of the Yi tribe. Therefore, Wang Hai became a god in heaven after being accidentally knocked down.
Constantly using various means such as dreams and illusions to
Duan guided Shangjiawei and finally completed his revenge. After enjoying the souls of hundreds of nobles from the Yi tribe from Mianchen down, Wang Hai also became the most powerful patron saint of the Shang tribe.
He protects his descendants from generation to generation."
The black robe sighed: "So, that terrible big sacrifice and many of the murderous sacrifice techniques were learned from other tribes? Are they not original to the Shang tribe?"
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, at that time, more than 20 tribes with the Yi clan were sent out to eliminate them, including the River Kingdom. The sacrifices of the Xiang River Kingdom were accustomed to drowning cattle and sheep in the water as sacrifices to the gods.
The Shang tribe learned this method. They took the Yi tribe and
Many girls threw them into the Yishui River to honor the river god. This custom of sacrifice was still very popular in the Yecheng area of Wei State until the Warring States Period. The famous Ximen Leopard broke the witchcraft and threw away the witches and divine men.
Entering the river will break this sacrificial method."
Doupeng frowned: "But this kind of sacrifice is to sacrifice the gods of the River Kingdom, or in other words, the Yi tribe's method of killing people into eight pieces is also to sacrifice the gods of their tribe. Shangjia Wei
Doing this seems like offering sacrifices to other people's gods, and the Shang tribe's own gods may not benefit from it."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "This is what you don't know. If you destroy a human country and slaughter its people, but sacrifice it with its own people, the gods of other tribes will turn into the patron saints of the Shang tribe, because they
The people are gone, the tribe is gone, and the incense is cut off in the future, what else can we do? Another extremely important discovery in the Battle of Wang Hai is this method of transformation of gods, so that the gods that still exist can be used by Shang.
