The story of King Wu attacking Zhou 1 After the death of King Ji Chang, the second son succeeded to the throne in Fengjing, calling his father Bochang and King Wen. Zhou Wuwang worships Jiang Shang as a strategist and respects him with the etiquette of treating his parents. He also joined forces with his brother, Zhao (sh) and others to unite the whole country and prepare for the war of destroying commerce.
A few years later, King Wu led the army eastward. However, he did not openly play the banner of destroying business. On the contrary, he let the army carry his father's wooden tablet in front of him in the name of Shang Dynasty. The name of Xibochang is written on the flag. He doesn't call himself the king, but the Prince of France. This practice of King Wu was obviously to test the political and military situation at that time.
King Wu's army crossed the Yellow River eastward and arrived in Jin Meng (now northeast of Jin Meng, Henan Province). Sure enough, many Shang Dynasty governors greeted him and expressed their support. However, considering that it still has a certain appeal in Shang Dynasty, his uncle Bigan, his younger brother, Cabbage and other noble ministers in Shang Dynasty are still trying their best to safeguard this crumbling regime, and feel that the time is not yet ripe to destroy Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, they only conducted a military observation exercise in Jin Meng, got in touch with the local governor, and then went to Fengjing. At this time, Zhou Wang's ignorance and tyranny became more serious. One morning, Zhou Wang and da ji were watching the scenery in Lutai. At this time, it is the middle of winter. They saw an old man and a young man wading barefoot across the river by Qishui River in the distance. The old man in front walked very fast, as if he was not too afraid of the cold, but the young man behind him was timid and looked very afraid of the cold. Why don't young people surprise Zhou Wang as old people do? Da ji said that this is because the parents were very young when the old man was born, so his bone marrow was full and his blood vessels were strong. The young man was born to an elderly couple, so his bone marrow was not full. Zhou Wang didn't believe it, so he ordered the samurai to arrest them immediately and cut off their shins on the spot to see what happened. On another occasion, in order to bet with da ji that the baby in the belly of a pregnant woman passing by the Lutai was male or female, Zhou Wang asked the samurai to cut open her belly immediately. Minister Kiko saw that Zhou Wang was so insolent, so he went to the palace to remonstrate. In a rage, Zhou Wang ordered Ji Zi to shave his head and become a slave in the harem. In order to make love for Kiko, Zhou Wang ordered the samurai to cut open his chest and cut out his heart, saying that he wanted to see how many brains he had grown as a prude. Wei Zi saw that Zhou Wang was hopeless. He didn't want to witness the demise of Shang Dynasty, so he fled Chao Ge with his family and lived in seclusion. Zhou Wuwang learned about the royal family of Shang Dynasty, knew that Zhou Wang had betrayed his relatives and friends, and the luck of Shang Dynasty was exhausted, so he officially dispatched an army of revenge. King Wu led 300 chariots and 50,000 chosen men, and Zhou Wuwang and strategist Jiang Shang headed east.
Ruby Lin and Lv Liangwei play King Wu.
He was advancing when two old men with white hair stopped him. King featuring and Jiang Shang came forward to ask, just know that one is Boyi, and the other is Shu Qi of the solitary bamboo country in the north of Shu. They defected because they admired the virtues of King Wu. I heard that Zhou Jun wanted to destroy the business, and thought that the courtiers could not make mistakes, so he wanted the King of Wu to stop fighting. Jiang Shang saw that they were two pedantic old men who didn't understand the times, so he didn't argue with them. He just asked the soldiers to take them away and ordered the army to move on. At the end of that year, Zhou Jun came to the Yellow River. The Yellow River just froze, and the army crossed the river on the ice and arrived in Jin Meng smoothly. Hearing the news, the governors of the four directions also rushed to join forces with Zhou Jun. At the beginning of the second year, Zhou's 50,000 chosen men and the allied forces known as the eight hundred governors continued to advance eastward. In early February, they arrived in Mu Ye (now Jixian County, Henan Province) near Chao Ge. Zhou Wuwang swore an oath with various governors in Konoha. At the swearing-in meeting, King Wu recounted Zhou Wang's tyranny and crimes, declared that he started his career on the orders of heaven, and stipulated the operational discipline, forbidding robbing and harassing people and killing prisoners. Those who kill the enemy bravely are rewarded, and those who flee or retreat from the cold war are put to death.
After taking the oath of office, the occupying forces were in high spirits and prepared to attack Chao Ge. At this time, Zhou Wang panicked and quickly organized troops to resist. However, there were not many troops guarding the city, so he had to cram for the last minute, arm all the slaves in the city and the prisoners caught in the war with Dongyi a few years ago and head for the front. Zhou Wang personally led the so-called 700,000-person miscellaneous army to Muye to confront the allied forces of King Wu. Although the numbers of the two armies are very different: the total number of allied forces does not exceed100000, while there are 700000 businessmen in Zhou Wang. However, the allied forces were full of vigor and high morale, while the slaves and prisoners in Zhou Wang's army hated the tyrant and hoped that he would fail. Sadly, Zhou Wang is still smart. He let slaves and prisoners rush ahead, and his soldiers only bid at the back. As a result, a dramatic scene appeared on the battlefield as soon as the two armies came into contact. Slaves and prisoners of war in the Shang army were armed with spears and turned to kill Zhou Wang's own army. Shang Jun's former team defected, coupled with the heroic killing of the enemy by Zhou Jun, Zhou Wang's army suddenly fell apart and was in flight. Under the protection of several cronies, Zhou Wang escaped into Chao Ge just visible. Before he could close the gate, Zhou Jun rushed in like a flood. Zhou Wang, seeing that the tide had run out, fled to Lutai and set himself on fire. Shang dynasty is over. After the destruction of Zhou Wuwang, a magnificent new capital was built on the east bank of Fengshui, 25 miles from Fengjing. He was named Haojing (now Anxi, Shaanxi Province), claiming to be the son of heaven, respecting his father Gugong as King Tai, his grandfather as King Ji and his father Xibochang as King Wen. From then on, the Western Zhou Dynasty in the history of China began.
The Story of King Wu's Cutting Zhou 2. All-round Talks; The Book of Cutting Zhou by King Wu, or Zhou Xing by Lv Wang, are all one, two volumes, which are the old blueprints of the speakers in the Song Dynasty. Zhi Zhi period of Yuan Dynasty (132 1- 1323), supplemented and revised by the speaker.
The book "King Wu's Cutting Zhou" is only divided into three volumes, namely, upper, middle and lower volumes, and there is no reply. However, there are 42 pictures in the book, all with sentences, which can also replace the reply. In the essays "Comment on Zhou Dynasty" and "Introduction to Mr. Pinghua's Novels" Volume II "Romance of the Gods", he once discussed the relationship between Pinghua and Pinghua.

From these sentences, we can get a glimpse of the content of Pinghua.
From the beginning to the thirtieth chapter, the Romance of the Gods was almost carried out according to the content of Pinghua, except that the twelfth to fourteenth chapters were born. From the 3rd1back, I put aside Pinghua for the time being and devoted myself to writing supernatural stories such as List of Three Religions Betraying God and Thirty-six Rufasiqi, expanding from Pinghua with 50,000 words to romance novels with 700,000 words. Among them, only chef Fei Zhong and uncle Boyi warned King Wu.
The Romance of the Gods was written about 88 meetings with, and then introduced the contents that were not adopted in Pinghua, such as picking up pregnant women, imprisonment, removing clairvoyance, clairvoyance, burning Wu culture and so on. It is in this sense that some scholars believe that the author of the Romance of the Gods is only a revised author, not a creator. This view is not fair enough, because The Romance of the Gods is about 14 times larger than Pinghua, and the adopted part has also undergone many changes and developments, just like the relationship between The Journey to the West and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Pinghua. It is a re-creation, a brand-new work, not just a change of author.
"King Wu's Cutting Zhou" is the blueprint of the speakers in the Song Dynasty, which comes from the people, so it can break through the preaching of Confucian feudal ethics and express strong love and hate. For example, Wang Jichang's hatred for Zhou Wang's imprisonment in Qilicheng and his son Boyi's exam was so unforgettable that "his heart swelled, so he got sick". Before he died, he "did not forget the ruthless king and took Boyi's exam as his enemy" and died sadly. After King Wu succeeded to the throne, he was busy governing the country, "not thinking about cutting Zhou", and Taigong wrote "Uncle Tao, put it on the imperial case". King Wu was "overjoyed" after seeing it, so he announced that he would go to the temple to discuss it. He decided to build an altar to worship the general and ordered the squire to lead the army to attack. So "the squire is in front, and the prince of Wu is behind", he led an attack and captured Yin alive. Yin Jiao was originally the Prince of Yin. Because he listened to da ji's words, he pushed the mother of the prince, Empress Jiang, off the star tower and died, and tried to kill the prince. Hu Song saved Yin Jiao, and the man of God gave him an axe. Yin Jiao begged for "chopping Zhou Wang with an axe". Among them, Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang rebelled and killed the monarch and the minister, while Yin Jiao rebelled and killed his father and son, all of which were decisive and fierce, reflecting the folk view of love and hate. However, the content of this Pinghua is not rich enough, the plot is simple, the narrative is not detailed and vivid enough, the characterization is not clear enough, and the text is rough. As a literary work, the level is not high.
Although the Romance of the Gods is deeply influenced by the Story of the King of Wu, its narrative method is not directly inherited from this Pinghua, and there are other books.
According to the research of Sun Jiedi, Liu Cunren, Zhou and others, before the publication of the Romance of the Gods, there was 19 * * in the first volume of The Statue of the Woguo (the whole novel of the five tyrants and seven chivalrous men in Beijing in the Spring and Autumn Period). The Kingdom Biography consists of eight volumes, and only the first volume describes Jiang Taigong's destruction of the Zhou Dynasty. "However, there is no such thing as God. Although what he did was similar to the Biography of the King of Wu, he erased many supernatural colors. Most of the narratives were concise, without imagination and exaggeration, and were closer to historical facts. "
The author of "Romance of the Gods" created this novel based on "The Book of King Wu's Cutting Zhou" and referring to the first volume of "Legend of the Kingdom". However, The Romance of Gods shows the importance of beheading gods, so it describes wars in large quantities, talks about ghosts and gods, and explains the victory of the two religions with Buddhist content, with strong colors of ghosts and gods and religions.
From the following two examples, we can see the evolution and inheritance of three books.
In the book "Chop Zhou", the wise men in Baishui Cave offered the words "The sword scares da ji" and "The sword is like a serpent". Da ji asked Zhou Wang to "send this sword to the ancestral temple to hang it".
The Legend of the Kingdom evolved into "Yunzhongzi entered the palace to slay the demon and exorcise the sword", "Zhou Wang is about to hang wood blade in the harem", and da ji is "on the couch", begging Zhou Wang to order "leaving wood blade to burn outside the palace".
In the Romance of the Gods, it is still "Yunzhongzi went into the sword to exorcise demons" and "hanged in the palace building", da ji was "in a daze, faint in breath and absolutely exhausted", while Zhou Wang was desperate to "burn wood blade with fire". Another example is making friends.
Yin Jiao is the son of Yin in the book "Cutting the Week", but he was not angry because his mother, Queen Jiang, was killed. He was rescued by soldiers. He was given an axe by a man of god, who defected to the king of Wu as a general, attacked Yin and killed him with an axe.
Biography of the Nations thought this was too much, so it turned into "self-immolation and da ji was beaten by Yin".
The first half of The Romance of the Gods is similar to the above two, but it later evolved into Yin Jiao's going down the mountain to help Zhou destroy Zhou. On the way, he was lobbied by Shen, disobeyed the teacher's orders, attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was plowed and hoed in Qishan.
This evolution reflects the feudal ethics of different authors in three different times, which is worth studying.
The Romance of the Gods was deeply influenced by Confucianism in its creation, but it was caught in various contradictions because of its limited theme. Confucianism advocates that the monarch is the minister's program, the father is the child's program, the minister is respected by heaven, and the country is governed by benevolence and filial piety. However, Mencius also put forward the people-oriented thought of "the people are higher than the monarch and the people are higher than the country". The people help more, the people help less, and the people replace the punishment. Although Dong Zhongshu put forward "the divine right of monarchy", he also thought: "Heaven is the king for the people, so virtue is enough to comfort the people, and it is a gift; Those who are evil enough to harm the people will fall from heaven. " "The country will lose its way, and the day will be the first disaster to inform it; Do not know how to introspect, weird to fear; I still don't know how to change, but I am hurt and even defeated. " Although Dong Zhongshu preached the idea of harmony between man and nature, he also warned those in power to be diligent and pay attention to the sufferings of the people, that is, to be benevolent in politics, to conform to the people's will and to be people-oriented.
It is from these Confucianism that the Romance of Gods was born, so some stories and characters in the Biography of King Wu and the Biography of Legendary Kingdom were reformed.
For example, in order to whitewash Zhou Wenwang and his wife, he wrote that although he was imprisoned by Zhou Wang and killed his son Boyi, he told the king featuring Ji Fa many times before he died:
"After my death, my son was too young to listen to others and make a conquest. Even if the emperor is not virtuous, he can't do anything wrong and kill the king in the name of becoming a minister. "
"Although there is no way to do business, I am a courtier, and I must abide by my duty, not overstep my bounds, and leave a name for future generations."
And tell Jiang Shang way:
"Please come in today. I am lonely, there is a saying. I must not be negative: I will hate you when I die, and I will never listen to the instigation of the governors and attack you with my ministers. It's hard for the prime minister to meet each other if he violates the solitary words. "
Finally, King Ji Chang felt sorry for himself: "Worship unfilial, no more remonstrance, no more gossip to turn people into people".
In the author's pen, King Wen has no resistance and is a typical loyal minister.
The same is true of the King of Wu in the author's works. When Jiang Shang became a teacher, featuring resolutely opposed, think "Zhou Wang has no choice, he is also a monarch. If he cuts it alone, it is called disloyalty, and "there is an ancient king's saying, it is called unfilial." He hopes that "loneliness and common father * * * will keep the Minister's Day and let Zhou Wang change and move towards good deeds. Isn't it good?" Later, Jiang Shang and Sansheng repeatedly advised him to "be a teacher of hanging people" and "save people from fire and water". If you don't go to heaven, you will only feel guilty and reluctantly agree.
When the soldiers crossed shouyangshan, Boyi and Shu Qi stopped the soldiers from making suggestions and said, "Listen, King Wu, stop talking" and felt ashamed. When the soldiers were singing around the court, after the Duke Jiang whipped them, the king of Wu said to his ministers, "Today's fierce fighting is a great loss to the title of monarch and minister, and Jiang hurt the Lord with his whip, making his loneliness unbearable." When Zhou Wang betrayed his relatives and friends and set himself on fire, King Wu saw that the Star Tower was ablaze, so he "hid his face and rode back to camp" and sighed to Jiang Shang, "You and I were both lieutenants, and we were involved in the North. How can we bear to see him die and be forced to commit a crime? "
Through various events and details, the author beautifies the text, is the king of benevolence and righteousness, and is an immortal sage.
As for the debauchery of Yin, this is the vigorous propaganda of Zhou people. What happened? Because the historical materials left behind are beneficial to the winners, it is hard to say whether they are true or false. However, this is a question discussed by historians and has little to do with fairy tales.
Another example is Yin Jiao, who was ordered by his teacher Guang to go down the mountain to help Zhou Xingyou. Yin Jiao listened to Shen. He didn't want to "help outsiders and cut his father", so he was defeated by a plow and hoe in Qishan. After his death, Yin Jiao was dissatisfied and a gust of wind came to Chao Ge City. Seeing Zhou Wang and da ji drinking in Lutai, he stood in front of the imperial court and said, "Father, my son Yin Jiao plows and hoes the fields for our country. Father can cultivate benevolent government and become a soup country. When he appointed Xian Xiang, he quickly worshipped Rong Yuan to take up the post of internal and external affairs. Otherwise, Jiang Shang will soon travel eastward, and it will be too late to regret it! "
Yin Jiao described by the author changed from a rebel in Pinghua and Guo Liezhuan to a dutiful son and grandson in feudal society.
The author not only embarks from the Confucian concepts of the three cardinal guides and the five permanents, the divine right of monarchy, and benevolent government, but also has a fatalistic string that is always trembling, moaning and singing. Not only is Zhou Xingyin's destruction a kind of fate, but the good fortune, life and death of all the characters in the novel are determined by heaven and cannot be changed. Therefore, "the three religions talk about God, among which there are loyal ministers and righteous men." Some can't become immortals and become Shinto; Each has its own depth and thickness, and it is predestined to each other, so God has honor and inferiority, and death has priority. ""this is a few days, this is no small matter, the situation is set, only to death. Because of the unruly yin, the fate is ill-fated, which leads to widespread indignation and resentment, and the ministers are in trouble, all of which are doomed.
Three weeks after the death of King Ji Chang, the second son, Ji Fa, succeeded to the throne in Fengjing and was named King Wu, while his father, Xibochang, was named King Wen. Zhou Wuwang worships Jiang Shang as a strategist and respects him with the etiquette of treating his parents. The King of Wu also united his brother and Zhao to unite the whole country.
A few years later, King Wu led his army eastward. But he didn't openly use the banner of destroying business. Instead, he asked the army to carry his father's wooden tablet in front of him in the name of the Shang Dynasty vassal state. Xibochang's name is written on the banner, but he doesn't call himself the king, only the Prince Fa. This practice of King Wu was obviously to test the political and military situation at that time.
King Wu's army crossed the Yellow River eastward and came to Jin Meng (now northeast of Jin Meng, Henan). Sure enough, many Shang Dynasty governors came to meet them and expressed their support. However, considering that Zhou Wang still has a certain appeal in Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang's uncle Bigan, his younger brothers Ji Zi, Cabbage and other nobles in Shang Dynasty are still trying their best to safeguard this crumbling regime, and feel that the time is not yet ripe to destroy it. Therefore, it only takes place in Jin Meng. After getting in touch with the princes, they led their troops back to Fengjing. At this time, Zhou Wang's ignorance and tyranny became worse. One morning, Zhou Wang and da ji were watching the scenery in Lutai. At this time, it is the middle of winter. They saw two people crossing the river barefoot at the water's edge in the distance. The old man in front walked very fast, as if he were not too afraid of the cold, but the young man behind him was timid. Zhou Wang was surprised. Da ji said that this is because the parents were very young when the old man was born, so his bone marrow was full and his blood vessels were strong. And that young man, born of an old couple, has incomplete bone marrow. Zhou Wang didn't believe it, so he ordered the samurai to catch them at once and cut off their shins on the spot to see what would happen. On another occasion, Zhou Wang and da ji made a bet that the baby in the pregnant woman's belly was male or female, and the samurai immediately cut her belly open. Minister Kiko saw that Zhou Wang was so outrageous, so he went to the palace to protest. Ji Zi was ordered to shave his head and become a slave in the harem. Beagan went to intercede for Ji Zi. Zhou Wang ordered the samurai to cut open his chest and cut out his heart, saying that he wanted to see how long he was a prude. Seeing that Zhou Wang was hopeless, I didn't want to witness the demise of the Shang Dynasty, so I fled Chao Ge with my family and lived in seclusion. Zhou Wuwang learned about the royal family of Shang Dynasty, and knew that Zhou Wang had alienated from others.
He was advancing when he was stopped by two white-haired old men. King featuring and Jiang Shang came forward to ask, only to know that one is Boyi and the other is Shu Qi, a native of Shuzhong. He defected because he admired the virtues of King Wu. I heard that he was going to destroy the business, and he thought that the courtiers could not make mistakes, so he had to retreat. Jiang Shang saw that he was two pedantic old men, so he didn't argue with them. He ordered the army to move on. At the end of that year, Zhou Jun came to the Yellow River. The Yellow River has just been frozen, and the army crossed the river on the ice and arrived in Jin Meng smoothly. When the four governors heard the news, they also led troops to Jin Meng to join forces with Zhou Jun. At the beginning of the second year, Zhou Jun's 50,000 chosen men and the allied forces known as eight hundred governors continued eastward and arrived in Mu Ye (in Jixian County, Henan Province) near Chao Ge in early February. In Mu Ye, Zhou Wuwang pledged his allegiance to various governors. King Wu recounted Zhou Wang's tyranny and crimes, declared himself a soldier in the world, and at the same time stipulated the operational discipline-no looting and harassment of the people, no killing of prisoners, those who bravely killed the enemy were rewarded, and those who fled or retreated at the cold feet were put to death.
After the swearing-in, Zhou's cutting army was ready to attack with high morale. At this time, Zhou Wang panicked and quickly organized troops to resist. However, there were not many troops guarding Chao Ge City, so he had to cram for the last minute and arm a large number of slaves and prisoners caught in the war with Dongyi a few years ago to the front. Zhou Wang personally led this miscellaneous army with a population of 700,000. I came to Konoha to fight against the King Wu's allied forces. Although the numbers of the two armies are far from each other: the total number of allies is less than100000, while the number of businessmen in Zhou Wang is 700000, but the allies are full of energy and high morale, while the slaves and prisoners in Zhou Wang's army hate the tyrant and wish him failure. Sadly, Zhou Wang is still smart. He let slaves and prisoners rush ahead, and his soldiers were only there. There was a dramatic scene on the battlefield-slaves and prisoners of war in the commercial army held spears and turned to kill their own troops. The former team of the Shang army defected, coupled with Zhou Jun's brave killing of the enemy, our army suddenly fell apart and was in flight. Under the protection of several cronies, Zhou Wang escaped into Chao Ge just visible. Before he could close the door, he rushed in like a flood. Zhou Wang saw that the tide had ebbed. After Zhou Wuwang was destroyed, a magnificent new city was built on the east bank of Fengshui, 25 miles from Fengjing. It was named Haojing (now the west of Xi City, Shaanxi Province), claiming to be the son of heaven, respecting its ancestor, the father of the ancient duke, Wang Tai, his grandfather, Ji Wang, and his father, Xibochang, Wang Wen. From then on, the Western Zhou Dynasty in the history of China began.
