During the reign of Gongliu, the people of the Pigs and the Shang Dynasty remained in a state of isolation, and this state lasted until the reign of Gongliu's father, which lasted until the reign of Gongliu's father.

The father-in-law was at the same time as the Shang king Wuding. Wu Ding was the king of Zhongxing of the Shang Dynasty, a man who was not only warlike but also warlike; He is neither stupid nor brutal, he can know people well, and there is nothing to be criticized except for being lustful.

Legend has it that he had hundreds of wives and concubines, and that he bestowed military and sacrificial power on his favorite queen, Nuhao, the earliest and most prominent female general in known history.

But apparently, another woman later stole the limelight from the woman - this woman was called "Nu Xing". Why do you say that the woman has stolen the limelight of the woman? Because the contemporary unearthed Simu Wu (women's Xing) Dafang Ding is larger than Simu Xin (women's good) Dafang Ding.

Wu Ding expanded the Shang Dynasty's sphere of influence to the Hexi region through a series of military operations, and the various tribes and Fang states around the Feng people had already submitted to the Shang Dynasty, and Wu Ding targeted the Feng people.

However, Wu Ding did not refer to this large Western country as a "pig", perhaps he found the mountains full of pigs (pigs are pigs) uncomfortable; He gave that country a very beautiful name, called "Zhou".

Zhou was the first to write "Tian" in oracle bone inscriptions, and later added a dot to each square of the field, which looks like a field with abundant grains. Later, a "mouth" was added below, and the mouth in the Shang Dynasty indicated the origin of the decree - such as "Shang", "life" and other words, and the change of the text said that Yin Zhou had become the head of a prince at that time, and he could give orders.

The Shang Dynasty waged many wars against Zhou, and Wu Ding sometimes drove his own expeditions, and sometimes sent the Xirong Fang States such as the Dog Marquis and the Canghou as the main force to assist the dynastic army in the crusade. The scale of the war is greater than once, and the tragedy is higher than once; In the end, the Zhou people, who had run out of ammunition and food, were finally forced to give in to the exhausted enemy.

Because the merchants were the old enemies of the Zhou people, and the nomads were despised by the Zhou people, the reality of the double humiliation made later generations think that the day the Zhou people surrendered to the Shang was the time when the Zhou people decided to destroy the Shang.

The Shang and Zhou dynasties had the same origin and the same values, so Wu Ding had a natural affinity for the Zhou people. At the same time, Wu Ding believes that nomads are greedy and capricious by nature, and they are extremely unreliable (later it was proved that Yin's idea was wrong, because the Zhou people were even more unreliable). Based on the above ideas, Wu Ding appointed his father as Xibohou (the chief of the western princes) and took on the important task of guarding Hexi.

This appointment stunned the various forces in Hexi, and Xijon then considered the merchant to be treacherous. The Rong lords said angrily that they had been requisitioned to wage war against the Zhou people, and that they had won a disastrous victory after countless fierce battles and sacrificed countless heroic soldiers, and the result was that the mortal enemy who had been defeated and should have been sold into slavery could now give them orders like their masters!

In the last years of Wuding, because of the perennial use of foreign troops, the dynasty's manpower and financial resources were consumed, and the Shang Dynasty was forced to carry out strategic contraction. Seeing this, Rong Di began to instigate, collude, and encourage each other, and then tore up the alliance and began to attack the country loyal to the royal family.

The first victim was Zhou Guo. Judging from the results, Wu Ding's previous methods have to be said to be very high-yin, and he succeeded in arousing the great hatred of the nomads towards the Western Zhou, so that in the following decades, the Zhou people were tired of dealing with the endless invasions of the enemy and had no time to expand eastward.

In the face of years of war, the Zhou people gradually couldn't bear it; And the enemy, who is accustomed to the sweetness of robbery, is still happy to attack. The enemy was pressing forward step by step, the allies betrayed one after another, and the Zhou state was weakening day by day, and the father-in-law felt that it was necessary to move the whole country.

Sixty miles northeast of today's Qishan County, Shaanxi, there was a rich piece of land, which was later called "Zhou Yuan". Zhouyuan is bordered by Liangshan in the north and Weishui in the south, with open terrain and vertical and horizontal water systems. Weishui and Liangshan formed a natural barrier to Zhouyuan, isolating Rongdi from Zhouyuan in the north and south. There are few people here, because there is no wealth, and there are no nomads who like to rob.

Zhou Yuan is the first choice for the migration of the father-in-law. The Zhou built an even more magnificent city here, and built a palace at the western end of the city facing east; The design of this palace became the basis for the architectural design of the palaces of the Chinese dynasties.

The migration of the Zhou people was a strategic retreat for Rong Di, but a strategic attack on the dynasty, because the Zhou army only needed to cross Weishui in the south, and go east along the Weishui road, and then cross the Yellow River from Sanmenxia to the north, and continue eastward to enter the important place of the dynasty in Gyeonggi; By the same token, it was much easier for the Shang army to conquer the Zhou state westward—they no longer had to cross the Liangshan Mountains and cross rivers and swamps.

At this time, the ruler of the Shang Dynasty was Wu Yi, who was tyrannical and arrogant and a little nervous. Wu Yi always tries to provoke any incident, whether internal or external. When there was a mess abroad, but there was a mess at home, he instigated doctors and Chinese people to fight with each other; If he saw that one side was about to lose, he encouraged others to help the weaker side so that the fight could last longer.

Wu Yi ordered people to make a tall puppet, painted it with facial features, put on gorgeous costumes, and called it "Heavenly God". After the puppet was made, Wu Yi asked the gods to play chess with him. Since the puppet was just a dead thing, he ordered an attendant to act as a stand-in for the gods. When the attendant symbolically conceded defeat after a few symbolic gestures, Wu Yi laughed at it and asked the soldiers to cut it to pieces, and finally set it on fire.

What's more, Wu Yi ordered people to sew a large leather bag out of cowhide and fill it with blood. This pouch is then suspended from a high place.

Wu Yi looked up to the sky and shot an arrow through the skin, and blood immediately spurted out; He jumped up and down excitedly at the skin and shouted, "God, God! I've already shot you! Do you still dare to challenge me? What are you under my arrows? Then he asked the ministers and the sergeants to cheer at him.

Wu Yi has done many bizarre things in his life, but the most bizarre is his death.

In the early autumn of Wu Yi's last year in power, he led his ministers to hunt in the plains between the Yellow River and Weishui. On a quiet night with sparse stars and the sound of frogs and cicadas, a sudden thunderstorm shook him to death. His body was found to be broken, mutilated, and charred, with a penetrating electric wound on his head, just as he had done to the gods and the heavens.

However, some scholars in later generations analyzed that the reason why Wu Yi behaved so incomprehensibly was because the monarchy and the divine power were in a fierce struggle at that time; Perhaps there was a high priest who covered the sky at that time, and that person's power had already posed a great threat to Wu Yi's monarchy, so Wu Yi used all kinds of seemingly absurd methods to create public opinion.

For a long time after Wu Yi's death, various natural and man-made disasters occurred in the dynasty. The merchant was horrified to find that Heaven had begun to punish the merchant endlessly for Wu Yi's blasphemy.
