Chapter 5625: The golden road is difficult to travel to the copper road
Black Rou frowned and said, "Why are you killing me so much? I've escaped to the wilderness of Jingchu, so why don't you let me go?"
Dou Peng said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, I'm afraid I think that Peng Guo and Wei Guo could run away before, maybe it was the Shang King Wu Ding who deliberately let him go, and then chased these fleeing rebels all the way.
In the land of Jingchu, such a famous army can easily cause chaos among the princes and states in Jingzhou."
A light flashed in Black Rou's eyes: "This is to conquer new areas in the name of pursuit and suppression, and to allow those Jingchu lands that are usually attacked without names or excuses, to send troops to attack with justification?"
The ancestor smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. Those states and princes who nominally surrendered to the Shang Dynasty should not attack them at will without proper reasons, otherwise they will lose their hearts in the future.
As for other tribes that do not come to pay tribute, if the Fang Kingdom does not attack the Shang Dynasty or attack other princes who surrender to the Shang Dynasty, they cannot use troops casually. This is called "Wu Ming, the tribes under the world, the Fang Kingdom, and the city-state can
If there are too many, not all
Submitting to the Shang Dynasty, or forming a tribute relationship, in most cases, the Shang Dynasty could only attack those countries that had tributed before but suddenly did not come to pay tribute for some reason. This can be said to be
It is to punish traitors. In the Jingchu area, many of the vassal states that existed since the Huangdi and Zhuanxu period never came to pay tribute to the Shang Dynasty. During the previous nine-generation rebellion, the Shang Dynasty also took the initiative to carry out strategic contraction and gave up.
Some cities and countries in Jingchu land."
"But Jingchu has very rich and important resources, minerals, from copper-tin alloy ore, to wood suitable for bows and arrows, hula, and many local specialties, all of which are very attractive. Wu Ding is known as the "Automotive"
A generation of kings defeated Gui Fang and the powerful Huaiyi. Naturally, this kind of opportunity to attack the Jingchu land in the south would not be missed. What he had been waiting for was just an excuse and reason for starting a war.
Fang took the initiative to fight for business
The issue of the successors of the Shang Dynasty was obvious. Now, to solve the problem of Ruyong and the powerful princes of the Ba State in the Jingchu area in the south, the Ruyong State and Ba State in the south,
There must be a suitable reason, just like the excuse that the Qiang people took in the remnants of the Xia Dynasty. For the princes in the Jingchu area, as long as they took in the remnants of Peng and Wei states and became enemies of the Shang Dynasty, then
There is an excuse to be beaten.”
Black Rou sighed: "This can really be called a strategy to drive away wolves and fight tigers. Peng and Wei were descendants of Zhurong and Wu Hui in the past. Yong and Ba were considered distant tribes from them.
Like the relationship between the Qiang people and the Xia people, the remnants of Peng and Wei countries fled to the hometown where their ancestors lived. After thousands of years, they returned to their hometown. Under normal circumstances, they would be welcomed and protected by their fellow tribes, so they would flee with the Zhou people.
After arriving at the Western Qiang Tribe Alliance, he was accepted and placed, but Wu Ding was invincible at this time and then he was killed. In this way, the Fang Kingdom in Jingchu is about to be in trouble."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Yes, in fact, before the ninth century of the Shang Dynasty, the reign of King Shang Taiwu, was also considered to be the famous generation of heroes before Wu Ding. His greatest achievement was to conquer Jingchu in the south.
The power once penetrated into the Jianghan area, even crossed the Yangtze River, continued to go south and east, and went straight to the copper mine base in Jiangzhou. It was along the Yangtze River not far from Jiangling today, which was the Matou Dukou where Liu Daogui and Xu Daofu fought.
In the area, there is also the largest fortress and settlement in the south of the Shang Dynasty, Panlong City. They used this as a base to mine copper mines in Jiangzhou, and processed them on the spot into various bronze ritual instruments and weapons, and made them large.
Some of the ores, as tributes, pass through the Suizao Corridor, then pass through the Nanyang Basin, pass through the access to the Fangcheng area, and go directly to the Shangdu of the Central Plains. This corridor was called Jindao Xixing during the Great Shang Dynasty."
Dou Peng nodded: "I have heard of this. Although there are only a few words in ancient books, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of perseverance and ambition the merchants in ancient times had towards the wild and deserted Jingchu area.
Those who are moving forward and developing should know that, let alone Shang, even the Chu State, which was thousands of years later, can also be described as a thrust. Perhaps it is precisely because of the search for copper ore and the creation of bronze weapons.
The extreme desire drove the expansion of the early Shang Dynasty to such a far-reaching Jianghan land."
Hei Pao said coldly: "The southern lands, starting from the Nanyang Basin, have been barren lands since ancient times. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, the Sanmiao tribe lived here. Since Huangdi defeated Chiyou, these former Chiyou subordinates, from the south
The Miao people retreated to the Qinling Mountains and Jianghuai area. From Zhuanxu ordered the brothers Chongli and Wu Hui to be Zhurong, the lord of the south pursued Gonggong family and Yu conquered Sanmiao. It can be said that the dynasty in the Central Plains has never stopped facing the south.
However, by the Shang Dynasty, the south was still a barren land of the Miao people. Although its technology and military level were far behind that of the Shang Dynasty, it was large and scattered in the mountains and forests. Not to mention that, it was just
Today, the various mountains and barbarians in Jingzhou also gave local officials a headache."
"The Shang Dynasty established this golden tin tour for this copper ore and tin ore, but it is probably impossible to guarantee that it will not be attacked by various barbarians along the way. Therefore, during the Taiwu period, a large amount of manpower was invested in the south and the army was in the south.
It is very difficult to immigrate to live in a place of Jiangling to build a large city like Panlong City as a fortress or even a country. However, why did such a place be given up later?”
The ancestor said calmly: "One of the reason is because of the Nine-Year Rebellion, the political disputes within the Shang Dynasty, and the upper class is unstable. Secondly, it is because the Shang Dynasty has established a foothold in the Central Plains and has settled, as time goes by, the population increases.
Compared with copper ore, the salt mines that people must survive have become more important. In order to seize the salt field, the Shang Dynasty began to go east after the Taiwu King, towards those who had been in the battle to destroy Xia in Qingzhou.
The Dongyi allies who stood together in the middle started a war. The war was unfavorable for a while, and they were even defeated by Feng Yi and Xin Yi, and the Dongyi tribes, including Pi, also rebelled at this time. It was still because of the alliance with the Shang Dynasty at that time.
The Peng Kingdom, Wei Kingdom, and the Ying Qin Kingdom in the East, defeated these rebellions! The Ying princes were considered to have turned over after Bo Yi lost his position in Xia Chu."
