Another important reason why King Wu of Zhou blamed Di Xin was to reuse the fugitive slaves from all directions and not his own brothers, which is also speechless.
The Shang and Zhou dynasties were slave societies!
The Warring States Period was the time point when China transformed from a slave society to a feudal society.
In the slave era, the relationship between the aristocracy and the slave was innately like this, no matter how incompetent the slave owner was, he was born an aristocracy, and no matter how talented the slave was, it was just that the slave did not deserve anything and human dignity, and so on.
During the reign of Emperor Xin, it was an era when the Shang Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and the slave-owning aristocracy continued to solidify and continue to decay.
It is simply the probability of winning the lottery ticket, and its social form is not much different from that of the gentry and landlords in the late Ming Dynasty.
Di Xin, a reformer, began to ignore his background and reuse talented people among slaves or commoners, and became a warrior king and a merchant, one of Di Xin's greatest atrocities and tyranny.
Binge drinking?
It's also funny, Di Xin in that period was not an alcoholic at all, but the entire Shang Dynasty aristocracy liked to drink, and the wine in that period was purely ultra-low, and wanted to get drunk alone?
You'll kill yourself first, much lower than the alcohol content of beer.
Dixin had no time for heavy drinking......
He ascended the throne for 20 years every year to sacrifice ancestors and God to spend a lot of time, and then it was the expedition, Di Xin was the most prominent king of the entire Shang Dynasty martial arts, he succeeded to the throne and continued to march eastward, and in the past few decades, the Shang Dynasty territory was expanded from the original ancient Yuzhou Central Plains to the Bohai Sea, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including the East China Sea and other regions.
With the transportation mode of the Shang Dynasty, it was absolutely amazing to be able to bring down the south of the Yangtze River from Yuzhou, vigorously implement the agricultural policy in various regions, and turn the tribes into Shang territory.
The two aspects of sacrifice and war are enough to make this "King of the Emperor" have no time to drink and no time and energy to pamper Daji.
How many children did Di Xin leave behind?
When comparing how many brothers and sisters King Wu of Zhou has, you know how much Di Xin is not obsessed with women.
If history is correctly recording everything about this person, it is a super strong man who is better than the first emperor and Han Wu!
But in the first half of his life, Emperor Xin almost won a hundred battles, and was defeated and killed by King Wu of Zhou in the battle of Muye, and became "Xiang Yu".
He did not burn himself as the legend suggests, because when he died in the battle of herding, it was only a defeat, and the Great Shang still had an extremely large military force in the rear.
The battle of Muye Emperor Xin will be defeated, the most important point is that he continued to conquer Dongyi consumed too much national strength, and he has not fully recovered, and a large number of slaves were collected, and other Western Zhou and other princes were killed in the face of slaves in the war......
Or for sacrifices.
Di Xin didn't, he felt that these slaves were human resources, and they could be used to develop the land and reclaim farmland after being disciplined, but they were not trained well, and they did not recover the original strength of the Great Shang, so King Wu of Zhou saw the opportunity to sneak attack.
It was attacked when the big merchants were at their weakest.
Secondly, the previous generations of Zhou kings before King Wu of Zhou have been subduing on the surface and accumulating strength in private, and they have also accumulated the strength of several generations, which is not much worse than the great merchants in their heyday, and they can imagine what the outcome will be if they attack a weak opponent with all their might.
Another point is that Di Xin himself has super command ability, and his martial arts are comparable to the first emperor Han Wu, but he can't stand this thing too gentle, and his personality is too benevolent!
As long as countless descendants think of the tyrant's tyranny, they can pull out the king and whip the corpse, in fact, the king is a very benevolent and gentle monarch.
After he succeeded to the throne, he found that all the ministers were rotten and wasteful of the slave-owning class, and only knew that pleasure was incapacitated, so he reformed the employment system, selected meritocracy from among the commoners and slaves, and held various official positions.
What did he do with the slave-owning waste class that he abolished?
Change your idle errand and continue to be an official!
Raised in vain.
This is a divine operation in the eyes of any politician!
Even his biggest political enemy, Weizi, who had fought with him for the throne of the king, spread rumors about Dixin for a long time, slandered him for how cruel and unkind, spread the theory of the death of the country, etc., until Dixin died, Weizi was still alive and handsome.
The important minister in the Romance of the Gods is also a guy who acts against the slave owners and nobles every day on behalf of the slave owners and nobles after Di Xin violates the interests of the slave owners and aristocracy, but that guy is in a high position and works against the king's reform measures every day.
When Dashang was at its weakest, Weizi took the initiative to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to ask King Wu of Zhou to cut down the merchants, and Di Xin couldn't help but clean up the group of nobles in Bigan.
But for what did Bigan die in the afterlife?
There are different opinions, and natural old age and death still account for a large proportion.
Until then, he had been enduring, and he was kind to all his political enemies......
Politically too benevolent, bloodless reforms, let the old interest strata not move at all, even if you play against you every day, you should not be visible, this is the biggest reason for the second defeat of the Battle of Muye, Di Xin's martial arts are prominent, but a group of traitors and aristocratic slave owners in the back, and the prosperous Western Zhou will do you together, it is difficult not to die.
This is also extremely similar to the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large group of gentry and landlords continued to pull the hind legs of the Ming Dynasty to betray the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was also the weakest period of the empire because of natural and man-made disasters, so a good Ming was gone.
Chongzhen at least left the reputation of the Son of Heaven guarding the country and the king of death, and Di Xin was embarrassed, and he was hacked for thousands of years as soon as he was black.
In addition, the name of the Emperor Xin tyrant propagated by the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty in that period was a feudal system of vassal states, and the Great Shang could not control how the Western Zhou and other princes governed their own people, but in all historical classics, there was never a legend of the cruelty of Emperor Xin in the territory of the Great Shang, only the historical materials of the Zhou Dynasty, and the name of his tyrant was flooded everywhere.
After the battle of Makino Emperor Xin was killed, the merchants did not give in to the Great Zhou, and a large number of troops under the leaderless dragons were still resisting, until the great nobles of Weizi took the initiative to surrender with the leaderless army of the dragons, which ended the Shang dynasty.
In the face of the situation of the decaying aristocratic slave owner class ruling the empire, Di Xin vigorously reformed and improved, and conquered Dongyi to make the southeast coastal frontier almost all under the rule of the Shang Dynasty.
The implementation of farming, Shang has gradually evolved from a slave society to a feudal form, a small weak by a group of merchant traitors took the initiative to contact the Western Zhou to attack, the war continued to pull the hind legs, such as selling military intelligence, with the resistance of the merchant army to surrender voluntarily......
Playing to death.

One death was hacked for thousands of years!
His biggest mistake was only two points, being benevolent, being too merciful to political enemies and the old corrupt aristocracy, and the second was not seeing the ambition of the Western Zhou Dynasty in advance.
Otherwise, in the heyday, it would not expand too much externally, and start with the Western Zhou Dynasty first, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.
Until his death, the power left by Shang was still strong, and he may not be able to do it without Zhou, but unfortunately there were too many surrender factions of the Belt and Road Party, and all of them were led by members of the royal family.
Or did this unlucky child already know the ambitions of the Western Zhou?
Can't bear to do it?
He is so laissez-faire to the microzi who has competed with him for the throne, and he preaches every day that you are cruel and destroy the country because of mercy, Western Zhou ......
Before King Wu rebelled, it was indeed the princes of Dashang's subordinates, and they were too thin-skinned to make a move.
This is the strongest black pot king in the history of China!
