Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa must be more famous than his father Ji Chang. He was born to Tess, Princess of Ji Chang. Tess is a citizen of China. As the princess of Ji Chang, the leader of the Zhou Dynasty, Tess is indeed a very respectable image of the motherland. She is not only born beautiful, but also intelligent and virtuous. She has done very well in family affairs such as state affairs and children's education. Not only Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang loves her very much, but also her ministers are very kind to her. During the period of Wu Zetian, because she claimed that Wu Shi was the descendant of King Ji Chang of Wen, she ratified Zhou Wenwang as the ancestor of Emperor Wen, and because she admired Taisi, she became the "Wen Ding Queen" of posthumous title.
Ji Fa is the second son of Ji Chang and Tai Si, and the eldest son is Bo Yi Kao mentioned in the last article. After Chang's death, Prince Ji Fa succeeded to the throne. At this time, he has many familiar figures around him, such as Jiang Taigong, Zhou Gongdan, Zhao Gong and other sages.
Jiang Ziya is naturally a typical representative of the real "late bloomer". It is said that at the age of 72, he went fishing and met Zhou Wenwang who was eager for talents. His family was originally a noble, and his ancestors got Lu as a fief to help control water, but when he was born, it was already declining. When he was young, all he did was make a living. However, under such circumstances, he can still persist in studying military affairs, astronomy and geography, and manage the country and security, hoping to make contributions to the country one day. You know, many people in their twenties and thirties, or even farther away, in their thirties and forties, basically stop playing if they still have no achievements. They think this is their life, but few people really "live to learn". Jiang Shang is one of them. At the age of seventy, he still achieved nothing, but who knew that at the age of seventy, he met Zhou Wenwang?
Jiang Ziya has many nicknames, one of which is called "King Taigong", from Ji Chang. After he met Jiang Shang and talked with him, he thought he was a talented person who could help Zhou become more prosperous, so he got another name of "King Taigong".
Zhou Gongdan's name is Ji Dan, and he is really not an "egg". He is Ji Fa's younger brother. If you don't know Zhou Gongdan, there is another title that you must be familiar with, and that is "Duke of Zhou". Assisting father Zhou Wenwang, brother Zhou Wuwang and nephew Zhou Chengwang can be said to have contributed to the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty. His Zhou Li was highly praised by Confucius. It is rumored that he is good at dream interpretation, so now many "dream interpretation" should be based on "Duke Zhou".
After Zhou Wuwang ascended the throne, he developed politics at home, and other governors outside the United Nations also held governors' meetings in Jin Meng. As many as 800 governors joined the alliance, and we conducted an exercise against the commercial countries together. After the establishment of the previous generation, the development of Ji Fa has had enough strength to compete with the Shang Dynasty. It is natural for the two armies to confront each other at this time.
In the Shang dynasty, we should pay attention to one question about the longevity of the king. "Zhou" is his posthumous title. He didn't have this title when he was alive. Di Xin was a gifted monarch to some extent. After he ascended the throne, he attached great importance to territorial expansion and extended the territory of the Shang State to the coastal areas from Shandong to Fujian. Di Xin himself is a strong man, but he is not the kind of person with developed limbs and simple mind. On the contrary, he was articulate and eloquent, and encouraged Nong Sang to be eclectic in talent selection, which also suppressed the newly rising Zhou Guo. If you put it in other times, let's say Shang Dynasty. If he had been born earlier, just after Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty, then the Shang Dynasty probably wouldn't have mixed up like this. In fact, apart from Shang Tang, the monarch behind basically did nothing, and it was even harder to go back to Di Xin. Even if he is talented, he can't save it.
As for why it took only one day for the King of Wu to attack the Zhou Dynasty, because there is an inscription on a cultural relic of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties unearthed in the last century: "The King of Wu levied merchants, and only Jiazi was in the dynasty. When he was old, he mixed with merchants, and he was divided from the king in Lan, and he gave things as a treasure of the Tan Palace to honor foreigners." The decisive battle of Shang and Zhou dynasties is the famous battle of Makino in history. Ji Fa arrived at Konoha, a suburb of Asako, early in the morning to hold a pledging conference. Not only Zhou's army, but also many chariots of vassal States. There are 4,000 cars in all, all arranged in Konoha. When Di Xin heard that Jifa was going to attack the city, he quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of people. However, these people are basically temporary slaves and look huge. But first of all, they are not professional troops. Second, they have no will to fight. Third, they were oppressed so much that they defected one after another to help Zhou's army attack Shang.
It's already like this. What are you fighting for? Di Xin knew there was nothing he could do, so he boarded the Lutai which took seven years to build and set himself on fire. From then on, the Shang Dynasty finally perished, and a brand-new Zhou Dynasty was ushered in history.
