Xia Yu ruled the water for 13 years, poured all his strength, and passed through the door of the house three times without entering. In the end, with the method of dredging the river channel, he controlled the flooding of the Yellow River, and also won his prestige and the world. He divided Kyushu into nine states, made jiuding, and assembled princes, ending the Zen concession system and passing it on to Zi qi, the founder of the Xia Dynasty. Kai is very virtuous, and the whole world wants him to have a son.
However, an eastern tribe with the Hu clan disobeyed, and the Qi Waver division attacked him, and the great war was fought against Yu Gan. After a fierce war, the Youhu clan was finally destroyed, and the whole world came to the court, and Qi not only consolidated his throne, but also maintained the first slave state he established, the Xia Dynasty.
After ascending to the throne, the tribal alliance system of the Dayu era was thoroughly reformed, and a hierarchical state institution centered on the king was established, breaking the boundaries of primitive tribes based on blood relations, dividing the residents into several regions according to the area of residence, and setting up local officials to manage them, which was one of the characteristics of the state that distinguished it from the old primitive clan organizations.
Kai is very accomplished, but also a very hedonistic monarch. He has lived in the people since he was a child, and he knows the hardships of some people's lives, and in the early days of coming to power, he could still be strict with himself, reward and punishment clearly, and work diligently for the people, so he won the support of the people. But after the regime stabilized, he began to enjoy himself. He first built a large number of civil engineering, built a magnificent palace and a juntai, and played in the palace all day.
Kai reigned for 9 years, but he died of a serious illness due to spending time drinking, and his eldest son Taikang succeeded to the throne.
Tai Kang was more than his father, and spent all day hunting in the fields. After a long time, I felt that hunting and playing near the capital was not enough, so I crossed the south of Luoshui, and played farther and farther, and I went to the capital for 100 days without returning to the capital.
Originally, after Taikang took the throne, if he did not do the right thing, the people would have resentment, and the princes and fang states would also begin to deviate. He crossed the Luoshui River to hunt, and did not return to the capital for a long time, providing an opportunity for Houyi, the lord of a poor country north of the Yellow River, to attack. Around 1948 BC, Houyi drove out Taikang's son Xiang and seized the throne, known as "Diyi", known in history as "Houyi Dynasty Xia".
After Yi came to power, he did not learn the lessons of Taikang. At that time, there were many domestic contradictions and the rule was extremely unstable, but he only liked to hunt and have fun. Later, he was killed by his minister Han Hun and personally buried the country he had taken. Later, Han Hun also wanted to kill Kai's great-grandson Shaokang, but the child survived and grew up. Pursued by Han Hun, Shao Kang fled to the farther kingdom of Youyu (present-day Yucheng County, Henan). Yu Shi was a descendant of Yu Shun, and the leader Yu Si saw that ShaoKang was very prominent, and asked him to serve as an official in the tribe to manage meals. Seeing that Shaokang was reliable, he soon married his daughter to him and entrusted him with a place called Lun.
Shaokang abolished slavery in his fiefdoms, encouraged fertility, attached importance to agriculture, developed production, and in less than 20 years made Lun very rich. Soon after, he fled to Mane (鬲, in modern Dezhou, Shandong). His father's subordinates found him, and they carefully planned the grand plan of restoration. In his later years, Han Hun repeated the mistakes of absurdity, eating and drinking all day and ignoring political affairs, and the ministers fell apart, and Shao Kang thought that it was time to do it. He first sent the general Ai and his son Zhu to extinguish Ge, cut off Han Xun and his wings, and completed the task brilliantly. Soon, the news of Han Hun's illness and death came again, and Shao Kang took the opportunity to send troops and went straight to the capital City of Anyi.
In this way, the world returned to the hands of Xia Yu's descendants. This incident was historically known as the "LessEr Recovered Country". After Shao Kang took the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, he ruled the country well, cherished the people's strength, and developed production, which soon restored the vitality of the Xia kingdom. Princes from all over the world also came to the dynasty, and a prosperous and developed atmosphere appeared, which was historically called "Shaokang Zhongxing".
Shaokang died at the age of 61. It is said that from him onwards, the Xia Dynasty learned to make wine from sorghum.
During his 17-year reign, Shao Kang moved the capital from Yangxia (present-day Taikang, Henan) to yuan (present-day Jiyuan, Henan), making great contributions to the restoration and development of the Xia Dynasty, and historically regarded him as another Ming Emperor after Yu, and he was also the layer of the foundation of the Xia Dynasty.
The establishment of the Xia Dynasty was of great benefit to production and life at that time, and its arrival ended the tribal life of the clan commune and would very effectively promote the development of the social productive forces. It is precisely because of a strong centralized state that people can be organized to engage in large-scale production and defend the country, to create culture, and to develop to a higher level of civilization.
After Shaokang Zhongxing, the Xia Dynasty had a long period of stable development, but the good times were not long, and 57 years later, Kong Jia became the king. This king was convinced that everything was decided by God, so he knew every day that eating, drinking, serving ghosts and gods, ignoring the government and politics, was a ridiculous emperor in history.
Kong Jia chuan is located in Gao, and Gao's grandson is called Lu Yan , that is, Xia Jie. Jie was the last emperor of Xia, a famous tyrant in history.
It is said that the power is infinite, and it can catch a tiger. He once fought against the Shi clan in the east, and the Shi clan was defeated, and the city surrendered, and Jie also declared that he would exterminate the Shi clan. The Shi clan was afraid, so they threw themselves into their favor and chose a beautiful woman in the whole clan to sacrifice to Jie, which saved the clan from being exterminated.
Sister Xi was born beautiful, and with her, she didn't care about anything. In order to please her sister, she built a gorgeous palace in Xiadu. Although this is also rare for the sister to smile, Ji is very sad. One day, when the maids were tearing the brocade, Mei Xi heard the "hissing" sound and laughed loudly, so she ordered the people to tear the brocade to her sister to hear, in order to win the smile of the beauty. This alone cost tens of millions of dollars.
Another time, he wanted to see his sister in a state of shock, and even put the tiger in the market, frightening people to run around lifelessly. He also built a large wine pond in the palace, hung up the meat, called the "wine pond meat forest", and set up a feast for 3,000 people to eat and drink.
Under the tyranny of Jie, the Xia Dynasty showed an atmosphere of decline. At this time, the Shang tribe of the Xia Dynasty gradually became stronger.
The Shang were a long-established tribe that lived in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and its ancestor Qi once helped Dayu control the water. From Qi to the accomplished descendants tang for a total of 14 generations, and established a small country coexisting with the Xia Dynasty.
Later, after the Shang became very powerful under Tang's efforts, Tang prepared to attack the Xia Dynasty and overthrow the tyranny of Jie, so in the 17th century BC, the Xia and Shang armies went to war at Mingtiao (present-day Fengqiudong, Henan).
After the two armies fought, the Shang army fought bravely, and everyone took the lead, while the Xia army was demoralized, barely resisted for a while, and then hula and fled. Xia Jie fled south with only 500 retinues. Tang and Yi Yin led the army in hot pursuit, Xia Jie fled to Nanchao (南巢, in present-day southeast of Shou County, Anhui), the Shang army pursued nanchao, Xia Jie wanted to escape from Nanchao, and was captured by the Shang army just after reaching the city gate. Tang exiled Xia Jie to Tingshan in Nanchao, and three years later, Xia Jie died of grief and depression.
After Shang Tang defeated the Xia Dynasty army, he took advantage of the victory and marched into the Xia capital without much effort, where he sacrificed heaven and earth, and then led his troops back to his original garrison.
At this time, the prestige of the Shang had reached the four directions, and the princes everywhere, as well as the chiefs of large and small clans and tribes, all brought fang objects and tributes to the pilgrimage, indicating their submission to the soup.
Tang treated all the princes who came to the court with courtesy, and Tang himself only held the position of princes, showing humility. Subsequently, he ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven with the support of various princes and proclaimed the establishment of the Shang Dynasty. After 20 years of conquest, Tang unified the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, with an influence in the upper reaches and an unprecedented area of rule. Become a powerful slave empire.
After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Tang began to resume production and reduce the burden on the people, so that the economy was further improved, the productive forces were greatly developed, and the progress of ancient civilizations was turned around, which made China the representative of the ancient civilized countries along with Egypt and Babylon. But at the same time, Tang also formulated a system of imprisonment, such as beheading, foot amputation and other torture, dozens or hundreds of people were executed at any time, which is also the embodiment of the brutality and bloody rule of slavery.
