History has always been written by the victors. Let's first take a look at the evaluations of historical figures!
Jizi said,"That cunning servant doesn't like me!"
Ji Fa said: Now King Zhou of Yin uses the words of women to cut himself off from heaven, destroy the three laws of nature, alienate the king's parents and brothers, abandon the music of his ancestors, and make obscene sounds to confuse the right sound and please women. Now the king of Shang has no way to accept, recklessly waste natural resources, harm and abuse the common people, become the world's fugitive monarch, gather in the deep place.
- Ji Dan: In the future, when the king is drunk, his life will not be revealed to the people, and it will not be easy to avoid resentment. Liu Dan indulged in his indulgence, indulged in debauchery and indulged in debauchery, and lost his dignity in banquets. The people were all sad. He is too indulgent in wine, not only to rest and relax, but also very sick, not afraid of death. The crime was committed in Shangyi, and the State of Yue and Yin was destroyed without suffering. Don't sacrifice to the gods with virtue and fragrance, which will be heard by heaven. I am afraid that the people are resentful, and the common people drink themselves, and the smell of blood is terrible.
........
Then, the scene changed!
"King Yinzhou lived a life of debauchery, but he only had three sons.”
"As for King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, he had a noble character, but he was known to have a hundred sons! There were 17 of them who had a certificate!”
"He's so licentious, but he has so few children?”
" King Jing of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty only lived to be 54 years old. He had more than 120 sons, and this was recorded in the genealogy, not counting his other illegitimate children.”
"This is what I call licentiousness."
"Moreover, in ancient times, when a woman gave birth, it was like walking through the gates of hell.”
"The number of sons is directly related to the number of women!”
As for saying that King Zhou of Yin favored Daji and harmed the country, that would be even more ridiculous!”
"Not only did King Zhou listen to Daji's so-called calumny, but he also went down to Zhaoge City and asked the women personally if they had any good opinions on his governance of the country!”
"What do you mean by open up the way? This is the true way to open up the channels for speech!"
" It's not sitting in the throne room and listening to the ministers talk nonsense and sing praises. It's going down to the grassroots to truly understand the sufferings of the people and listen to the voices and demands of the people at the bottom.”
Then, let's continue to talk about the crime that King Zhou was accused of-a pool of wine and a forest of meat!
"First of all, I have to say that the meat forest doesn't exist!”
"Think about it, if you hang meat in the forest for people to enjoy, it will stink after a few days. King Zhou built a meat forest.”
"Of course, that's not necessarily the case. The meat hanging in the meat forest could also be cured meat.”
Fang Datong:
"Bacon is to marinate the meat that can't be eaten, so that the meat can be stored for a longer time.”
"However, the more reliable records of cured meat appeared during the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, the economy was developed and society was flourishing.”
"Of course, there are also people who believe that there is a type of food recorded in the Qi Min Yao Shu. It is very likely to be sausages, but it first appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.”
"In King Zhou's era, resources were extremely scarce. It was impossible for the craft of bacon to appear, so the meat forest did not exist.”
"As for why there's a meat forest?”
"It's just like in a feudal society, where two farmers are talking about how extravagant the emperor is. A farmer said,"The hoes used by the emperor to hoe the land are all made of pure gold!" And another person said that the emperor had to eat steamed buns in the morning. It had to be white flour, or throw away one after eating one!”
"I can only say that poverty has limited people's imagination! At that time, people were extremely lacking in resources. They thought that hanging meat all over the forest was extremely extravagant!”
Let's talk about this wine pool again!
"Wine will evaporate!"
"Digging a big pond to fill it with wine will only get a pond full of water!”
"King Zhou did dig a big pond in Zhaoge, but it wasn't used to hold wine. It was used to train the navy, just like Cao Cao!”
"This is another unparalleled achievement of King Zhou!”
"From a historical perspective, Xia, Shang and Zhou were tribes that lived in the Yellow River basin. Their territory was the middle reaches of the Yellow River, two and a half provinces.”
"As for King Zhou, he was a man of great talent and great strategy. He went down the Yellow River to attack Dongyi, which is the State of Lu, all the way to Penglai.”
"Then, King Zhou did something that made the future kings extremely hot-blooded.”
"After defeating Dongyi, he directly led his army south and broke through the Yangtze River basin. He incorporated the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River into the territory of Yan Huang and then marched into the southeast coast! When he was at his peak, his territory had increased from two and a half provinces to ten provinces.”
"King Zhou is the first king in history to unify the north and south! It laid a solid foundation for the future Great Qin Empire to dominate the Yan Huang Empire.”
"During King Zhou's reign, he alone increased the land area by more than three times. His achievements in expanding the territory are unprecedented! The only person who could compare to him in the future was Genghis Khan!”
.......
At this moment.
All the emperors widened their eyes. Opening up territory was an achievement that would last for thousands of years. Which emperor would not be proud of being able to conquer a larger territory for their descendants?
However, King Zhou had increased the land area by more than three times with his own strength. In terms of expanding the territory, King Zhou could be said to be unprecedented.
.....
Qin Shi Huang stood by the sea and looked at the surging river. He could not calm down. A few hundred years ago, this was the land that King Zhou of Shang had conquered.
Only by standing on the shoulders of giants could Yan Huang become stronger! They achieved greater unity.
Only he understood how difficult it was to develop the Wildlands.
The 500,000 Qin army entered Lingnan and lived there. Perhaps after a hundred years, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor would be able to completely digest Lingnan, this land of treasures.
Only then could it be truly done. Under the heavens, there was no land that was not the king's, and there was no land that was not the king's subjects!
This was the work of the predecessors who planted the trees and the descendants who enjoyed the shade. Lingnan was the precious wealth he left for his descendants!
And, the southeast, the Yangtze River basin, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River were the supreme wealth that King Zhou had left for Ying Zheng, allowing him to enjoy the land of fish and rice, the granary of the world.
.....
Cao Cao's eyes were cold. At this moment, the wife sitting beside him didn't look good.
The Battle of Red Cliff was also a war between the north and the south, causing him to suffer heavy casualties and lose his troops.
He knew better than anyone how difficult it was for the northern soldiers to cross the Yangtze River and fight the southern navy.
His biggest worry in his life was that he could not unify the north and the south and establish a great cause.
The Yangtze River had left him with many vicissitudes and loneliness.
However, he did not expect King Zhou to be the first king to unify the north and south. His outstanding military achievements made him fascinated.
.........
As he spoke, the video continued to link to the scenes of several dynasties in the future!
"There is no harm without comparison."
"Li Shimin, who was praised by later generations, couldn't even take down the Korean Peninsula with the power of a country.”
"In fact, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty fought until the country was empty and destroyed the Great Sui Dynasty for the sake of the Korean Peninsula.”
"At this moment, look at King Zhou. He conquered Dongyi, seized the Yangtze River, and took over the southwest. The beautiful land of Yan and Huang, the land of fish and rice, were all in his hands. How domineering!”
