Chapter 5566 The Huaiyi people in the Shang Dynasty were not a single clan

The black robe frowned and said: "This woman must be a noble daughter of the Huaiyi tribe. Her marriage to Wu Ding is a political marriage? The Nine Yi Division has always been a fierce force of the Xia Dynasty. In this era, why did it happen?

For the use of the Shang Dynasty, where have the Shang Dynasty’s own armies gone?”

Doupeng sneered and said: "Since they are Jiuyi and Huaiyi, they are not the Xia Dynasty's own people. It's just that they were conquered by the Xia Dynasty before, or they served the Xia Dynasty after being given benefits. When the Xia Dynasty was founded,

The core ally is Zhen Xun

Most of these tribes, including the Qingzhou, Qilu and Qilu tribes, moved to the Qingzhou and Qilu areas in the middle and late period, and their relations were no longer as good as they were at the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, Xia Jie showed kindness and kindness to the Jiuyi tribe.

Just an enemy."

"This is a balancing act. However, when Dayu was controlling floods, he went as far as Kuaiji and killed the Fangfeng clan, who was very influential in Wuyue. He massacred his tribe and frightened all the Huaihe people.

The Yi and Baiyue tribes were favored by them at the end of the Xia Dynasty. This combination of kindness and power would induce the troops of the Nine Yis to work for them."

"As for the Shang Dynasty, although it was considered a tribe of Dongyi in the Xia Dynasty, they came from the north and prospered in the Central Plains. It can be said that they have nothing to do with the Dongyi tribes in the southeast such as Huaiyi and Baiyue.

At best, the relationship was nothing more than the Shang Dynasty doing business during the tribal period.

, it was just some trade exchanges. Later, the Huaiyi tribe took in the fleeing Xia Jie, which gave the Shang Dynasty the reasons and excuses to wage war against them. Just like the Qiang people, they would fight whenever they found an excuse. In essence, it was still

In order to wage war and obtain human sacrifices for sacrifice.”

The black robe nodded: "Are you trying to say that by Wu Ding's time, Huaiyi had changed from the enemy of the Shang Dynasty to their ally?"

The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with what you are talking about, but you have ignored one thing, that is, from the Xia Dynasty to the Wuding period of the Shang Dynasty, for nearly a thousand years, the Southeast

The reason for the conquest of Huaiyi on the other side is not just as simple as asking for human sacrifices for sacrifice, but it is really entangled, and the more important ones are two points, one is that they are not of our race, and the other is that they are guilty of being pregnant."

Both the black robe and the cloak's eyes lit up at the same time, and they said in unison: "Please tell me clearly, ancestor."

The ancestor nodded and said: "These Huaiyi and Dongyi people, many of them are the remnants of the former Sanmiao and Jiuli. After they were defeated by the Yanhuang tribe coalition, they lost the momentum of going north for thousands of years.

Beginning to be forced to move south continuously, in Qilu

The land in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River is the main place where they live. Although some tribes surrendered to the Yellow Emperor and several subsequent emperors, in general, they only surrendered superficially and paid tribute regularly or irregularly.

Just give me some souvenirs."

"Of course, in the tribal era, even the so-called emperor could not have the same jurisdiction as the prefecture and county system in later generations. Even if the Fangfeng clan was killed after Dayu controlled the floods, the Youhu clan would be eliminated after Xia Qi came to the throne.

You can also see that the so-called emperor is just a bigger and stronger tribe and cannot command the world."

"So at that time, as the Emperor's tribe, it was not possible to collect taxes like later generations, and the management area was very limited. However, the Emperor's tribe needed a lot of local specialties, especially copper and tin, which were used

It is an essential mineral for making bronzes. In addition, it is also the Jianghuai tribe in the Dongyi area to make exquisite jade pottery.

Therefore, since the Yellow Emperor, there have been continuous wars between the land of Qilu and the land of Jianghuai. One is for expansion, so that the ethnic groups of their core tribes can conquer the local Sanmiao and Jiuli tribes and merge into the Huaxia tribe.

The second reason for settling here is to control the resources in these places. The most important resources are still the minerals in various places."

Doupeng said thoughtfully: "Indeed, in ancient times, those who came to pay tribute to the emperor had to bring tributes. In fact, these tributes were local specialties, some of which were the most important items such as bronzes and jade.

Only by handing over the necessary raw materials, including craftsmen, can we truly surrender to the emperor, and make the due contribution of a minister to the emperor, in exchange for peace."

The ancestor smiled slightly: "Yes, if we don't make friends, it will be disrespectful to the emperor, and there will be a reason to launch a war of conquest. Starting from the Yanhuang tribe, the Huaxia tribe has a great advantage over the Sanmiao and Jiuli in the war.

Yanhuang tribe from the north

, from the advanced level of bronzes, especially bronze weapons, to bows and arrows, to chariots, they all gave Sanmiao Jiuli an overwhelming advantage, and on the basis of these weapons, they also had strict discipline and organized the army.

abilities, including being the emperor

The leader of the tribal alliance can mobilize dozens or hundreds of allies to launch a war. This is much more powerful than the Dongyi who may only have a dozen loose tribal alliances. Therefore, the result of this war that lasts for thousands of years is that they

Being beaten back step by step, from

Qilu, from the Central Plains, from Nanyang, retreated step by step towards Jingchu, Jianghuai, Wuyue, not to mention the direction of Jingchu. Over there, the Zhu Rong clan became the master of the south, while here in Jianghuai, there were still Huaiyi Pan from all walks of life.

It occupies a large amount of copper-producing and tin-producing land."

"So from the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, they have been constantly attacking the Huaiyi in this direction, using troops for various reasons. Of course, they have also been pulling and fighting, dividing and disintegrating. Just like the Nine Yi divisions, they are actually frightened by the Xia Dynasty.

, conquered and gave some favors to the Huaiyi tribe, allowing them to enjoy the treatment of the Xia Dynasty's main ally tribe, which made them willing to serve Xia Jie, and Xiang was born in the Dongyi Youqiong family.

Such a powerful tribe could even defeat the Xia army for a time. After deposing Xia, such tribes would be wiped out, or fought until they disintegrated. After the death of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty continued this strategy and moved towards Huaiyi.

When they used troops to destroy Xia, their capital was in Haodi, close to the Jianghuai area, which also shows that as a prince of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty had a lot of dealings with these Huaiyi."

Heipao sneered and said: "It's interesting. Logically speaking, the Shang Dynasty, being of the same clan and Dongyi tribe, wants to be enemies with Huaiyi, who appears as the master of the Nine Yi tribes, or other Dongyi tribes. Instead, it is as a foreign tribe.

The Xia Dynasty can gain the allegiance of the Jiuyi tribe. It seems that the Dongyi people are also very scattered inside, and there is no loyalty from the Qiang people to their fellow tribesmen like the Xia Dynasty."

The ancestor nodded: "Yes, because Dongyi is just the Yanhuang tribe that occupied the Central Plains. The Huaxia tribe refers to the tribes in the east as a collective name. They themselves do not regard themselves as the same race and species. Besides, after the Yellow Emperor was born in the Shang Dynasty, they were not

Three seedlings and nine li descendants." (End of this chapter)
