King Li of Zhou triggered the "Rebellion of the People of the People", opening the era of the ages and laying the foundation for the road of "ZTE"

"Shijing · Xiaoya Beishan Zhishi Beishan" "Under the whole world, mo fei wang tu, the coast of the land, mo fei wang chen", however, Ji Hu, the king of Zhou Li, who is the son of Zhou Tianzi, is a king who covets wealth and profit. After King Li of Zhou succeeded to the throne, he favored rong yi gong [1] the monarch rong yi gong and the eldest father of the state of Yu and other courtiers, the property of the mountain forest and chuanze was "patented", directly controlled by the son of heaven, and civilians (the people of the country [2]) were not allowed to enter and make a living. Summoning (shào) Mu Gong [3] to advise King Li against harsh taxes, King Li, instead of listening, cleverly set up a name to increase taxes, such as: collecting medicine, grazing, fishing, drinking well water, crossing the city gate, etc. also have to pay taxes, on the one hand, King Li of Zhou is extravagant and absurd, spending days and drinking, on the other hand, the life of the common people is worse, the people's resentment is boiling, the song that circulated at that time said: "Giant rats and rats, no food for me." Three years old, Mo I am willing to take care of. The dead will go to Ru, suitable for the promised land".

After King Li of Zhou "amassed wealth", he tried to change the situation of the invasion of the surrounding ethnic minorities, solve the disadvantages of weakness, and follow the conquest of the "rebels".

Before King Li of Zhou attacked the Kingdom of Xia[4], let us first understand the State of E: during the Xia Dynasty, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor's concubines were sealed in the State of E[5], that is, the State of E was a princely state during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and when the King of Shang, the Marquis of E, the Ninth Marquis, and the Xi Bo Jichang were the three dukes. Shang Yu took a fancy to the daughter of the Ninth Marquis and wanted to marry her as a concubine, but the daughter of the Ninth Marquis had a dignified temperament and was unwilling to accompany the King of Jiuhou to do those absurd and shameless deeds, and the King of Jiuhou, in a rage, killed the father and daughter of the Ninth Marquis and made the Ninth Marquis into meat sauce. Seeing that the Ninth Marquis had died unjustly, he refused to argue with the King of Sui, and as a result, he was also killed, and the State of E was forced to move south to present-day Nanyang, Henan, still called the State of E[6], and its homeland was annexed by Jin.

The King of Qiu killed the Ninth Prince for no reason, and the Marquis of Ehou "diāo (diāo), the disease of debate", that is, stared at the King of Qiu without turning his eyes, arguing fiercely with him, and as a result, he angered the King of Qiu and was brutally killed by the King of Huan. When Siber heard of this, he "whispered", and with this sigh, he was also reported to the king of Qi, and Siber was imprisoned in the city of yǒu.[7] Thanks to his men's "begging beautiful women and strange things to sacrifice horses", he was able to escape the cage.

When King Li of Zhou was called Yi Fang, what kind of relationship was between The Marquis of Ehou and King Li of Zhou? It is still impossible to assert. The inscription of the "Ehou Yifang Ding" says that King Zhou Li led an army to conquer Southern Huaiyi, and on the way to the class, the Ehou Yifang waited to greet him, offered a feast, and accompanied king Zhou Li to perform the shooting ceremony, and the king of Zhou Li personally rewarded him with jade, horses, and arrows, and the driving fang was also proud of this, and specially made this baoding for "the descendants to use forever.". The Yu Ding [8] inscription says that (863 BC), the rebellion waged by Ehou Yifang was so powerful that he led Nanhuaiyi and Dongyi to attack King Li of Zhou from both the eastern and southern directions, and once won a victory and arrived at "Li Nei", causing the Zhou royal family to panic and exclaim, "Whoops and whining!" With the great death of heaven in the lower kingdom", King Li of Zhou used the most elite Western Sixth Division and Yin Eighth Division to order "attack the Marquis of E, and do not leave behind the young"! Despite this, the Zhou army could not win, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, so they sent Jing Shuyu to lead a hundred troops to assist in the battle, and after a fierce battle, defeated the State of E, and captured The Fang, Jing Shuyu cast Baoding to remember the battle merits, called "Yu Ding". The time between the casting of "Ehou Yi Fangding" and "Yu Ding" is not very long, and there must have been major changes during this period, but what exactly is the change? There is no way out now.

In April 2012, when Nanyang, Henan Province, was cooperating with the construction of the main canal of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the cemetery of the Eguo nobles was discovered in xiayupu village in Xindian Township, which proved that the Eguo did not disappear from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Spring and Autumn Period, that there was a certain relationship of "love and hate" between the King of Zhou Li and the Yifang, that the massacre order of "do not leave shou and be young" was not fully implemented, and that the Eguo nobles were not completely exterminated. In order to replace the role of the southern frontier of the Eguo Ping Domain, King Li of Zhou changed his uncle's Shen Guo[9] to the homeland of the Eguo, and at the same time played a role in "monitoring" the Eren, and some of the "sinful" Eren were forced to move south to settle in the "Echeng" (present-day Lijiao, DayeXifa), on the banks of liangzi Lake in present-day Hubei Province, and hereditary incense in the Eguo. The State of Hubei experienced the "disaster" of destroying the country and establishing the country, and since then it has been in a slump, and by the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Hubei was occupied by the State of Chu.

At the time of King Li's attack on Zhou Li, Huaiyi [10] and Dongyi, who had followed Ehou Yifang in rebellion against Zhou, had invaded between Yishui and Luoshui, and the fiasco of Yifang had left Huaiyi and Dongyi suddenly left the six gods without a master and fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness, and the Zhou soldiers launched several counterattacks from the upper reaches of the Luo river, Huaiyi and Dongyi were unable to meet the battle, and gradually retreated, fleeing in all directions, and the Zhou army took advantage of the victory to pursue, capturing more than 140 people and recapturing more than 400 captured Zhou people. The victories of King Li of Zhou in attacking and peacefully settling Huaiyi and Dongyi greatly enhanced the military might, and the military strength of the Zhou Dynasty was enhanced, and the national prestige of the Zhou Dynasty was also enhanced, laying the foundation for "Xuanwang Zhongxing".

In 841 BC, the "nationals" of Haojing were dissatisfied with the tyranny of King Li of Zhou, armed with sticks and agricultural tools, besieging the palace and wanting to kill King Li of Zhou, king Li of Zhou ordered the dispatch of troops, and his subordinates replied: "We in the Zhou Dynasty have sent troops to the countrymen, the people of the country are soldiers, the soldiers are the people of the country, and the people of the country are rioting, who else can we mobilize?" King Li of Zhou led his cronies to flee Hojing, along the banks of the Weishui River, all the way to Yan[11], known in history as the "Rebellion of the Chinese People". In addition to the reasons for the rebellion of the people of Zhou Li himself, it is also the "product" of the accumulation of social contradictions, the division of the Zhou dynasty, the contradictions are always intensified with time, and in the period of King Zhou Zhao and King Mu of Zhou, the differentiation within the nobility is becoming more and more serious, many nobles and poor scholars, whose social status is declining, and the people in the city are mixed with the people in the city, and have also become part of the "national people", like hundreds of workers and merchants (gǔ), "patents" make their interests damaged, and the survival of the common people is difficult, in this case, Contradictions can be described as imminent, and the nobility is extremely appealing and inflammatory, and the riots of the Chinese people are undoubtedly "inevitable".

After the chinese invaded the palace, they did not find King Zhou Li, so they turned to looking for the crown prince Ji Jing, summoned Mu Gong to hide Ji Jing, and the people surrounded Mu Gong's house, and wanted to summon Mu Gong to get out of the prince, and summoned Mu Gong "to be the prince of his son", and the Bamboo Book Chronicle records: "(The people of the country) summoned Mu Gong's son to kill him." Under the persuasion of the ministers Zhou Dinggong [12] and Zhao Mugong, the resentment gradually subsided and Fang dissipated. The "National Rebellion" led to a split between the middle and upper classes of the Zhou people and the commoner class, which greatly weakened the ruling base of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After King Zhao of Zhou fled the capital, Emperor Zhou had no lord, and the Duke of Zhou Ding, together with Mu Gong, presided over the imperial government, changing the era name to "Republic", which was historically called "Zhou Zhao Republic" (also known as "Republican Administration"). Fourteen years later, in 828 BC, King Li of Zhou died of illness and crown prince Ji Jing took the throne as King Xuan of Zhou, ending the republican administration. Another theory of republican administration is that the communist monarch Gong Bohe acted as the son of heaven, but the Zhou Dynasty Gongguo (the former site of the Shang Dynasty Gongguo was in present-day Jingchuan County, Gansu Province, destroyed by King Wen of Zhou) in the area of present-day Hui County, Henan Province, nearly 600 kilometers away from the Zhou capital Hojing, and it was unrealistic for the Communist Monarch to rule on behalf of Tianzi, in addition, the Communist Monarch was not listed as the "Three Dukes" (Zhou Gongdan, Zhao Gongyi, Bi Gonggao and their descendants), and was not qualified to represent Zhou Tianzi, so he obeyed Zhou Dinggong and Zhao Mu gonggong to govern together.

In the first year of the Republic, that is, in 841 BC, the history of China has a definite chronology, and from then on, the historical record of China continues uninterrupted.

[1] Rongguo: Present-day Gongyi, Henan Province.

[2] Guoren: The zhou dynasty city was two walls, and those who lived inside the city were called "guoren", and those who lived outside the city were called "wild people" or "contemptible people".

[3] Summoning Mu Gong: Summoning the monarch of the country. Zhao Guo: During the reign of King Wu of Zhou, feng tong was a prince in the east, and Zhao Gongyi was enfeoffed in Yandi, but he did not go, and the eldest son Ke went to take office, while he himself remained in Haojing (present-day Fengdong New Town, Xixian New District, Shaanxi Province) to assist Tianzi with Zhou Gongdan and Bi Gonggao, and zhaoguo monarch Zhao Gongyi was one of the three dukes of Zhou, and his descendants were succeeded as the three dukes for generations. Because the food was in the call, it was called the summoning of the gong, and the summoning was in the southwest of present-day Qishan in Shaanxi Province. Zhao Mugong was a descendant of the second son of Zhao Gongyi.

[4] The Kingdom of Nightmares: i.e. the State of E, oracle bones and jin scripts are written as "噩", which are common to "咢", "煞", and "谔" in ancient times. Some people have examined that "咢" refers to "big mouth" and "big mouth", and the words added mean "loud defense", which is extended to be blunt, and the so-called "promise of a thousand people is not as good as the praise of a soldier". Perhaps it is a coincidence that the first Marquis of E, who left his name in the history books, was indeed known for his outspokenness, and he also dared to speak out in the face of the brutal King Yin. During the reign of King Li of Zhou, the state of E was in the area northeast of present-day Nanyang, Henan Province.

[5] Eguo: Present-day Xiangning County, Shanxi Province.

[6] Eguo: During the construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in 2012, more than 100 bronze ceremonial vessels were excavated from the tombs of the Eguo nobles from the late Western Zhou to the Spring and Autumn Period in Nanyang City, Henan Province, of which 38 were engraved with inscriptions and the longest inscription was more than 20 words, providing important physical and written materials for interpreting the history of the Eguo state in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. Of the 20 tombs excavated in the first phase, at least four generations of Ehou were buried here. A historical suspense case was thus solved: it can be determined that from the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, the Eguo state did not die out, but existed in Nanyang, and also had a certain strength and influence; the Eguo Diwang (the place of origin that indicates the identity of the nobility of the named gate) was in Nanyang.

[7] Qili: The ruins of the city of Qiangli, 4.5 km north of Tangyin County, Anyang, Henan Province.

[8] "Yu Ding": It is a Ding cast by a man named Jing Shuyu to remember the merits of the E.

[9] Shen Guo: This Shen State is the Southern Shen State, Shen Guo Shen Bo is the wife and uncle of King Zhou Li and the maternal uncle of King Xuan of Zhou, in 823 BC, Shen Bo was re-made the Earl of Shen Guo by King Xuan of Zhou, and the capital was set at Xie Yi, near present-day Nanyang City, Henan Province, and the ruins were in Xiejiazhuang, Cangtai Town, Tanghe County, and his descendants took the fief as their surname and called Xie Shi.

[10] Huaiyi: Lived in the Huai River basin in present-day northern Anhui.

[11] 彘 ( zhì ): present-day Huozhou, Linfen, Shanxi Province.

[12] Duke Ding of Zhou: King of the State of Zhou. State of Zhou: During the reign of King Wu of Zhou, the Fengtong clan was enfeoffed as a prince in the east, and Zhou Gongdan was enfeoffed in Ludi, but he did not go, and his eldest son Bo Yan went to take office, while he himself remained in Hojing (镐京, in modern Fengdong New Town, Xixian New District, Shaanxi Province) to assist Tianzi with Zhao Gong. Because caiyi (the ancient Zhou city of Fufengyong northeast of Fufengyong, present-day Baoji Zhouyuan in Shaanxi Province, the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty) was in Zhou, he himself and his descendants were called the Duke of Zhou. Duke Ding of Zhou was a descendant of Duke Dan of Zhou.
