Black Rou frowned and said, "Yes, if you can't be a king in the Shang Dynasty, you might as well be a prince and a king. You will be free and unrestrained, otherwise the royal family generation will be the king, and the descendants will be Hou Bo and the like.
, After two or three generations, it may be ordinary gentry, but there seemed to be very few countries that were divided into princes in the Shang Dynasty. I heard from the ancestor that it might be Chongguo and Yanguo, which are the few vassal states. I don’t know this time
After defeating Laiyi and occupying Qingzhou, how can we enfeoff the princes in the local area?"
Dou Peng laughed and said, "I know this. The Shang Dynasty enfeoffed a royal family to Pugu City and established Puguo. This Pugu City is about fifty miles north of Linzi, the old capital of Qi today.
It is considered to be on the edge of the Ji River, the important place in the middle of Qingzhou, occupying this place. It can be connected to the Central Plains through the Ji River in the west, and the salt field can be controlled by the sea in the east. It can be said that except for the entire Qilu land on the Jiaodong Peninsula, it is all subject to this Pu Gu.
The country's influence and control were brought to the Shang Dynasty, and from then on, the original Dongyi tribe was truly expelled to the southern part of Shandong on the Jiaodong Peninsula and Daxian Mountain. Most of the Qi and Lu lands were considered to be included in the hands of the Shang Dynasty."
Heibo nodded and said, "But even so, the later generations of the Shang Dynasty during the reign of King Zhou, or what we mentioned before, during the reign of King Wending and King Yi of Shang, weren't they also using troops toward the Dongyi and Huaiyi.
, Could these Dongyi and Huaiyi be Laiyi who fled to the Jiaodong Peninsula?"
The ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet. The Shang Dynasty's military use of the East and the South has lasted for hundreds of years, just like pacifying the Fengyi, Xinguo and Laiyi chaos.
This time, it was thanks to the Wei and Peng countries that made great efforts, especially Peng countries in the Xuzhou area in the south, defeated Pi countries that responded to Fengyi, and did not allow Pi countries to join the Central Plains to attack the Shang Dynasty.
It was a great contribution. Afterwards, Peng and Wei divided the land of Pi and annexed some small countries in the Pengcheng area, Jianghuai, and the tribes from which Fu Hao came from should also be the princes who were later divided by Peng or Wei.
Therefore, during the Wuding era, Peng Guo and Wei Guo deeply intervened in the internal affairs of the Shang Dynasty, and even intervened in the abolition and establishment of Wuding's heirs."
"As a result, after defeating Guifang, Wu Ding finally took action against Peng Guo and Wei Guo after more than ten years of rest. As the King of Shang, he could not allow two powerful people to appear in the southeast and would not surrender to his own foreign surnames.
The princes began to attack him on the excuse of Peng and Wei interfering in the matter of the prince. For more than a hundred years, Peng and Wei have borrowed the name of the Shang Dynasty to attack the surrounding small countries and tribes at will.
The annexation had long been angered by the public. They were originally a country divided by the Kunwu clan of the Chu people in the south. They were not traditional Dongyi and Huaiyi. They were also outsiders, so they were defeated very quickly when they were attacked by the Shang Dynasty.
It wasn't as long as the Laiyi Rebellion."
Heibo sighed: "No wonder the Shang Dynasty was willing to support Zhou as the pastor of Guanxi, Xibo, it turned out that this was the Shang Dynasty's policy. Support foreign princes to temporarily control one direction and wait for them to grow and grow.
, when you make enemies with your local country, you will take action to eliminate it. In this way, pulling one country to fight one country can stabilize the areas that you cannot control temporarily, without giving birth to a huge country, and for yourself
It poses a threat, but the speed of Zhou's development later exceeded the Shang Dynasty's imagination."
The ancestor nodded: "While the Zhou State was developing, the Dongyi and Huaiyi also developed very quickly at that time, and the Yangyi, Laiyi, and other countries in the Huaiyi all had the Shang Dynasty.
The deep hatred, which directly made the supply of salt from the Shang Dynasty a problem, was also the reason why King Zhou had to give priority to solving the Dongyi and appease the Zhou Kingdom. However, during the Wu Ding period, the Shang Dynasty was considered to be a use of itself.
At that time, the military forces that were rampant in the world easily solved Peng and Wei, and they chased them all the way, allowing Peng and Wei to escape to the Jingchu area, the Nanyang area, where the ethnic group originated, here, Shang army
Taking advantage of the excuse of suppressing rebellion and pursuit, after shrinking for hundreds of years, we finally returned to the Nanyang Basin for the first time, hoping to reopen the Jindao Tin Travel."
Dou Peng frowned: "This battle seems to be very difficult. Since the Shang Dynasty last attacked the Laiyi Rebellion, it has contracted the southern line and directly abandoned the entire Jingzhou area south of Funiu Mountain, let alone the need for
Speaking of Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou area in Jiangnan, this time, he finally returned to Jingzhou by the name of being able to pursue Peng and Wei. At this time, Jingzhou should have appeared in a few hundred years later.
The powerful Fang Kingdom is right."
The ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the land of Jingchu is mostly Sanmiao. During the Huangdi period, when Chiyou was defeated, his tribe retreated to the south step by step. During the Zhuanxu period, the generals Chongli and Wu Hui were the ones.
The two brothers pursued the Gonggong clan and arrived in Jingchu. Chongqing Li was killed because of his ineffective combat. Wu Hui took over and finally conquered the Miao people and the people in Jingchu area and were named
Zhurong, general leader of the south, and later due to the great flood, the Zhurong tribe in the south
, also known as the Chu clan in later generations, was isolated from the Central Plains. It was not until Dayu controlled the flood and then marched the Sanmiao in the south before and after the flood control, that it was reconnected with Zhurong and Wu Hui's descendants, the Kunwu clan.
Moving to the Central Plains was also after Dayu's southern expedition, so Kunwu Kingdom, and Peng Kingdom, who followed the Kunwu tribe back to the Central Plains, the Zhurong tribes, or the Chu vassal states, became the Xia Dynasty.
The hardcore allies, even when Shang destroyed Xia, were on the side of the Xia Dynasty.”
"Now the Shang Dynasty pursued Peng State to its hometown. There were Yong State and Returning Princes here, entrenched in the eastern and central areas of the Nanyang Basin, in the Danshuixi River. Since the Shang Dynasty contracted from the south, these were from the Sanmiao tribe in the south.
The princes and the states gradually occupied the local area. Yongguo was originally from the Sanmiao, but after the southern expeditions from Zhurong to Dayu, he also surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty, learned the Central Plains national model and also learned the
The ability to smelter bronze, after the Shang army retreated north, they took over the Jindao Tin Travel, and harvested a large amount of them here and transported them to the north.
The copper ore of the Shang Dynasty was replaced by some local specialties and transported to the north. Because the Shang Dynasty was unable to garrison troops in the south, it could only acknowledge this fact. The mediocre country and return to China relied on the use of bronze weapons for hundreds of years.
We have conquered many backward local barbarian tribes. When Wu Ding pursued Peng and Wei into Jingzhou, Yong Guohe returned to China and had become two major countries that dominated the Nanyang Basin with thousands of troops and tens of thousands of people.
When they faced the remaining troops of Peng and Wei, who were born in Chu, they chose to protect them and become enemies with the Shang Dynasty." (End of this chapter)
