Chapter 5542: Famous weapons are given to people and the dynasty is destroyed
The black robe said thoughtfully: "This opportunity is the rebellion of the Kunwu tribe. Chengtang of Shang State was instructed and ordered by Xia Jie to send troops to quell the rebellion, right?"
The ancestor nodded and said: "Yes, the Kunwu clan is one of the largest tribes and princes in the world. It comes from Wu Hui after Emperor Zhuanxu. Wu Hui and his brother Chong Li both served as Huozheng in charge of the world's fire.
His name was Zhu Rong, and Wu Hui gave birth to Lu Zhong, who gave birth to six sons. The eldest son was Kunwu, and the sixth son Ji Lian was the ancestor of Chu."
"The Kunwu clan is good at handicrafts. It has long been called the land of the Central Plains. During the time of Yao and Shun, Xu You, a famous sage, did not even want the throne of the world and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Therefore, the Kunwu clan
, then the surname is Xu, and the later princes of the Xu Kingdom came from here."
"During the Xia Dynasty, the Kunwu clan was already a large tribe among the Xia tribes in the Central Plains. The clan had a large number of people, but they were not good at fighting. After Taikang lost the country, Zhongkang was established as the puppet Queen of Xia by Hou Yi, and
At that time, Xu Ping, the leader of the Kunwu tribe, protected Zhongkang and actively helped Zhongkang train his troops.
At that time, Zhongkang's condition for ascending to the position of Queen of Xia was to not only exempt Hou Yi's Youqing tribe from paying taxes, but also to give twice the amount of this tax to the Youqing tribe, which was equal to the emperor.
To pay taxes to one of the princes in turn is really to cause the master and subordinate to change their positions, and the monarch and his ministers to turn against each other."
Doopeng smiled and said: "The fact that the Xia Queen in turn had to pay taxes to the Youqiong clan is really funny. When I first read this section of the history book, I thought it was a mistake, but when I think about it,
Normally, Zhongkang killed his brother and pushed him to the position. Just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he had no real power. However, the advantage he had over Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was that he did not bring Hou Yi to the Youqing tribe in the east.
, but stay in
The old capital of Zhenxun, which had long been looted, had no people and no soldiers. Seeing this situation, few of the princes in the world paid tribute to Zhongkang, and even some barbarian tribes in the north.
He drove his chariot to the Xia capital from time to time to provoke and intimidate Zhongkang. If it weren't for the protection of the Kunwu tribe in the Central Plains at that time, Zhongkang would have been killed by a barbarian tribe like King You of Zhou."
The ancestor nodded and said seriously: "Yes, it is true. After the Xia Dynasty lost its country in Taikang, almost everyone in the world rebelled. There were only a few closely related tribes after Dayu, such as the Zhenxun tribe and the Zhenguan tribe.
, there are still a few people in the east such as Youyang tribe and Youmin tribe who are still supporting him, still paying taxes, and even sending troops to protect him. The Kunwu tribe in the Central Plains is the closest to Zhongkang and the most loyal.
"
"The location of his Kunwu tribe also happened to be between the Youqiong clan and the Xia Queen, which acted as a barrier. With the help of Xu Ping, Zhongkang rebuilt the army and repelled several invading troops.
The barbarian tribes once gave people hope for the revival of the Xia Dynasty."
"But Zhongkang made the mistake of being too hasty and prematurely stopped paying taxes to the Qing Dynasty tribes, which was tantamount to declaring war with them. As a result, Hou Yi once again brought the troops of the Qing Dynasty tribe that swept the world and was invincible.
, the Xia army was completely defeated. If Xu Ping hadn’t brought the soldiers and horses of the Kunwu clan to rescue him and rescued him in Anyi, I am afraid that Zhongkang would have embarked on the road of Taikang early."
The black robe said in a deep voice: "So, the Kunwu clan once made great contributions to the Xia Dynasty from the period when Taikang lost the country to the era when Shaokang was resurrected. It was also a very important and stable long-term ally of the Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains. But why is this like this?
An important ally of Xia Jie also betrayed Xia Jie and embarked on the road of rebellion and betrayal? "
Doupeng sneered: "Isn't it because of Xia Jie's extravagance and greed? He not only increased taxes on the Youmin tribe, but also raised taxes on tribes like the Kunwu tribe. At that time, the Kunwu tribe
The leader of the Xia Dynasty had a very good relationship with Guan Longfeng, the loyal minister who came to remonstrate. Guan Longfeng's outspoken remonstration was also in the hope that Xia Jie could reduce his
He despised the taxes of the princes and common people, governed the world with virtue, and stayed away from witches and villains. As a result, Xia Jie was angered and suffered a murderous disaster. Later, Xia Jie also vented his anger on the Kunwu family and others who complained about Guan Longfeng.
The tribal leader wants them to go to Beijing alone to apologize, and wants to imprison them in Xiatai for humiliation and punishment just like they were imprisoned in Chengtang."
"As a result, the leader of the Kunwu clan refused to go and cut off his tribute to Xia Jie. So Xia Jie became angry and wanted to conquer the Kunwu clan. However, at this time, Xia Jie had been in power for nearly
It has been forty years, and I have already become old and frail. Let alone leading the troops in battle, I have been nine years old.
The Yi army was also difficult to mobilize due to his various misdeeds over the years. The Kunwu clan also saw this clearly and dared to openly cause rebellion. So Xia Jie could only order Cheng Tang to lead the troops of the Shang tribe.
, authorizing him to gather the power of all the princes in the world to attack the Kunwu clan."
The black-robed man sighed: "It's over now. Confucius said it well. Names and weapons cannot be faked. For this kind of rebellion of the great princes of the Kunwu family, Xia Jie should have put it down personally. You are old
Unable to move
He had to let his son go. How could Cheng Tang be allowed to bring the Shang tribe to quell the rebellion? What’s even worse is that Cheng Tang was actually given the title of convening the princes of the world. Wouldn’t that be giving up the world to the Shang Kingdom?
Has it become soup?"
The ancestor sneered and said: "This idea came from the two concubines that Youmin gave to Xia Jie. Huh, it's another beauty who brought disaster to the country. In fact, like Shi Meixi, they also harbored the hatred of destroying the country and destroying the clan.
, committed himself to the enemy, and wanted to destroy the Xia Dynasty to avenge his country when he had the chance. Oh, by the way, this Youmin tribe was being destroyed by Xia
After Jie was defeated, he did not stay in the east and simply disappeared. It is said that he marched westward and finally arrived in Shu, where he also established his own political power. But we are not too clear about the specific situation. Maybe,
Only after the Ten Thousand Years of Peace Plan is successful can we know these histories that are not found in the history books."
Doupeng smiled and said: "Yes, it is said that Min in Minjiang came from the Min tribe. In any case, they were wise. After breaking Xia Jie's heart, they simply stayed away from him and started a long march of thousands of miles.
, also want to get rid of his rule,
Regardless of whether the Youmin clan was destroyed by others on the road, or whether it finally became the lord in a different place and went to other places to establish political power like the Dayue clan, it was not a bad thing. However, they did not see the demise of the Xia Dynasty with their own eyes.
Woolen cloth."
The ancestor nodded and said seriously: "Yes, after Cheng Tang gathered hundreds of princes from all over the world and joined forces to defeat the Kunwu clan, he issued the famous Tang Oath at the victory meeting to conquer Xia.
