The battle between Xia, Shang and Ming Dynasties was a famous battle in the late Xia Dynasty. Around 1600 BC, the Xia Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and Shang Tang followed the general trend of historical change and personally led the Shang tribe. The mighty soldiers arrived in Mingtiao and launched a massive decisive battle with the officers and men of Xia Dynasty. The place where the Mingtiao campaign took place is a place west of Yuncheng, Shanxi today.
First, singing the background of the war
Before the Xia-Shang War, due to the late Xia Dynasty, several generations of kings did not pay attention to governing the country. In the Xia generation, the crisis of state power was exposed. Not only is internal rule very chaotic, but external troops and crusades have also become a normal state. At that time, the territory of Shang tribe was located in the east of Xia Dynasty. In order to initially isolate the Xia Dynasty, Shang Tang first found a suitable opportunity to conquer Guo Ge, the nearest territory of the Xia Dynasty.
After completing the first step, Shang Tang sent his etiquette, Yi Yin, into the capital of Xia Dynasty to spy out the reality of Xia Dynasty. After exploration, Shang Tang established the strategy of "attacking from the wings of Xia Dynasty", and then gradually occupied the small countries of Xia Dynasty, such as Qianwei, Guguo and Kunwu, which were just between Shanglu and the capital of Xia Dynasty. This action of Shang Tang directly led to the isolation of the capital of Xia Dynasty.
Desperate Xia Dynasty had to fight to the death. According to the requirements of the war, Shang Tang also prepared a large number of chariots, organized thousands of soldiers who dared to die, and launched the final battle. Forced to be helpless, Xia Wang had to lead Wang Jun against the Shang army, and the war between Xia and Shang broke out. The result of the war was that Wang Xia was defeated by Shang Tang and the Xia Dynasty was destroyed.
Second, how did the battle of jumping go on?
The Battle of Mingtiao was Shang Tang's decisive battle against Xia Dynasty. After the victory of this campaign, Shang Tang finally overthrew Xia Dynasty and established the kingship of Shang Dynasty. However, this battle is not simple from preparation to launch to final victory. So how did the battle of Mingtiao proceed?
Before the akira War, Shang Tang made a lot of preparations. One of the core tasks is the espionage arranged by Shang Tang at the suggestion of the minister. After Shang Tang decided to wage war on the Xia Dynasty, in order to understand the situation of the capital of the Xia Dynasty, a counselor named Yi Yin under Shang Tang came up with a plan to be a spy himself. After entering the Xia Dynasty, Yi Yin found out the situation of the capital with the fastest speed and prepared Shang Tang for the Xia Dynasty.
After getting the information, Shang Tang knew that his own strength was not enough to defeat Xia Dynasty on the battlefield. At that time, in order to strengthen their own strength, Shang Tang constantly crusaded against various governors, which made Wang Xia feel very dangerous, so Wang Xia made a plan to recall Shang Tang to Beijing and imprisoned him in the second stage he established. It was not until Shang Tang's advisers won Xia Jie's favor with babies and beautiful women that Shang Tang was released.
Shang Tang was successfully released, and after many battles, his strength was strengthened. But to completely defeat the Xia dynasty, it is still necessary to implement it step by step. The first step is to cut off the part between Xia Dynasty and Shang Tang, which is also a pair of wings to protect Xia Dynasty. After all kinds of preparations, Shang Tang finally led an army to attack on a large scale, finally defeated Xia Jie in the battle of jumping, and established a new kingship.
Third, the result of the battle of jumping.
As the name implies, the battle of Mingtiao took place in the battle of Mingtiao, which is located in the west of Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. Of course, there is another saying that it is in Henan Province. The Battle of Mingtiao was a battle between Shang Tang, the founding king of Shang Dynasty, and the army of Xia Dynasty, whose ruling situation had entered its twilight years. As a decisive battle between the opposing sides, the result of the Ming Dynasty War was the change of dynasty.
The battle of Mingtiao or the battle of Shang Tang's crusade against Xia Dynasty occurred mainly because at the end of Xia Dynasty, the fatuous Wang Xia Jie made the rule of Xia Dynasty fall into a very dangerous and weak situation. At that time, Tang, far away from Shang Lu, was already dissatisfied with his rule. Tang seized the opportunity to jointly annex many regions and small countries in the Xia Dynasty, and finally left them in a helpless situation.
However, the result of the battle between the bars did not lead to the complete demise of the Xia Dynasty. After the Xia Dynasty was overthrown by Shang Tang, there was another force equivalent to Shang Tang, the famous Yi Yin force. The demise of the Xia Dynasty was a gradual process, and the result of the battle between bars was only the first step to overthrow the Xia Dynasty. After the war of Tiaozha, the feudal remnants of the Xia Dynasty were still scattered in many places until the two armies were completely wiped out.
After eliminating the remnants of feudalism, the two armies led their troops westward respectively. After Shang Tang's victories again and again, the former ministers and nobles of Xia Dynasty finally began to have the heart of submission, which made Shang Tang ascend to the throne step by step.
