The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
During the xia dynasty, Xia Jie was the last monarch of the Xia dynasty. It was also this man who led the Xia Dynasty to its demise. At that time, the power of the Xia Dynasty had gradually declined, and Xia Jie not only did not develop well on his own turf, but also went everywhere to fight with others. During his reign, this man did not do anything good, and all day long he colluded with the traitors to harm the common people. On one occasion, Xia Jie forcibly ordered other princely states to send troops to assemble there, and then obeyed his transfer. However, some of the people of the princely states did not agree, so the angry and corrupt Xia Jie ordered the army to destroy these princely states, which caused the already weak Xia Dynasty to suffer great trauma.
Even so, Xia Jie still indulged in fine wine and women all day long, and in order to make the beauties happy, he also built a place convenient for them to have fun. The meat is hung on the tree to form a meat forest, the wine is poured into the pool of dry water to make a wine pool, and then some people with good alcohol are summoned around the wine pool, and then the drum is beaten as a command, and as soon as the drum sounds, thousands of people begin to drink cattle, which is absurd. In order to satisfy their own desires, they endlessly plundered the common people, which made the people unable to bear to start an uprising. At that time, in the shang kingdom, a vassal state of the Xia Dynasty, there was a man named Tang, who saw that Xia Jie's cruelty and absurdity had made the people unable to live happily, so he made up his mind to overthrow Xia Jie's rule.
At that time, the strength of the Shang state also gradually developed, the domestic reserves of grain were also very abundant, and the surrounding other countries were also very harmonious, once the neighboring countries had natural disasters, the Shang country would go to help, so Tang was loved by many ordinary people. In order to overthrow Xia Jie's rule, Tang united several other princely states that had a vendetta against Xia Jie to attack Xia. At that time, the national strength of the Xia Kingdom was very empty, coupled with the absurdity and waste of Xia Jie, the common people complained and complained, and the Xia Kingdom was even weaker. However, Xia Jie knew that Tang was going to attack him, so he tried to trick Tang into going to Xia Guo, and locked him up mercilessly. When the right minister of the Shang Kingdom knew about it, he tried to rescue Tang, so he sent a beautiful woman and a treasure to Xia Jie. Xia Jie saw this and actually put the soup directly.
After Tang returned to the Shang Kingdom, his determination to overthrow Xia Jie became stronger, and he accelerated the preparation plan for the conquest of the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, he sent people to rebel against the small countries controlled by the Xia Dynasty under his command, and also ordered the destruction of those small countries that refused to submit to them. In order to be able to win the support of the people and love the people more, Tang opened up some policies so that when he attacked the Xia Kingdom, people would support him and listen to his orders. Soon Tang had built up a powerful combined army, and all the preparations were ready.
On the day of Tang's expedition, he stood on a high platform wearing armor and said to everyone: "Heroes, we don't want to fight, but Xia Jie's sins are heinous, and the people are deeply affected by it, and heaven has asked me to destroy him, and the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and we must take action." And many ministers and people of the Xia Kingdom have a great hatred for Xia Jie, and we must save those people, so you must support me, as long as you have made meritorious achievements, I will be rewarded, and if you deliberately make trouble, I will punish. After saying that, everyone at the bottom struggled to cheer up, and then followed Tang Hao on a mighty march towards the Xia Kingdom.
Xia Jie panicked at this time, and in order to make himself alive, he mobilized all the soldiers together to guard his palace. However, the morale of the Shang army was very strong, which made xia jun's heart have the idea of giving up resistance, and it could not withstand the attack of others at all. The Xia army was originally very scattered, had no training for a long time, and its combat effectiveness was very weak. The two armies were soon defeated and scattered against the Xia army. Xia Jie saw that the defeat had been decided and began to run. Tang originally wanted to kill him, but in order to make his supporters realize that he was a person of ease and benevolence, he decided not to kill him, and later imprisoned him until his death. In this way, Tang completely overthrew the Xia Dynasty, and soon established the Shang Dynasty with the support of the people and the assistance of his courtiers.
