Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 681: The Mysterious Bird of Destiny, Born into Shang

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period when many once-famous vassal states were destroyed one after another, the Wei State miraculously escaped countless disasters, survived until the Qin State unified the world, and did not perish until Qin II.

The reason is that people in later generations believe that it is because Wei has many talents, just like "Yanzhao has many generous and tragic people since ancient times", "We have many gentlemen since ancient times".

In history, Confucius traveled around the world for 14 years, including [-] years in Weiguo, because there are many "gentlemen" who are like him in Weiguo.

Qingji's uncle Jizha once traveled around the world and was famous for his foresight. He came to the conclusion in Weiguo that "there are many gentlemen in Weiguo, and the country will be safe"...

Can Qingji agree with this conclusion?
can!
Because the Wei State in history has become one of the longest-surviving vassal states, with a total of 838 years before and after the founding of the country, and 35 generations of monarchs.

From when Uncle Kang founded the country, the capital was Chaoge, and when Wei Chenggong moved the capital to Diqiu, divination said that the country could be established here for 300 years. Later, Diqiu (Wei moved to Diqiu and changed its name to Puyang) really became the blessed place of Weiguo... …

"Song Gong, a gentleman of Wei Duo may not be able to strengthen the country, but he may not be unable to preserve the country."

Qing Ji said with a faint smile: "From the perspective of a few people, the Central Plains is full of outstanding people and heroes. It's just that the king doesn't have the ability to know people and make good use of them, so we can't make the best use of people and things."

"Wei has many gentlemen, why doesn't Song have many talents?"

"Zuo Zhuan" records that in the 15th year of Dinggong, Zheng Handa defeated the Song teacher in Laoqiu!

There are also Mozi, Zhuangzi, Huizi, Qin Huali, Ni Shuo, Song Ying and others, all from the Song Dynasty!
It is conceivable how prosperous the culture is in the land of the Central Plains.

Because what Qingji said was true.

This became the basis for the legend that the mysterious bird was the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty.

Shangqiu, the capital of Song Dynasty, was originally a city with profound meaning.

Therefore, because the Shang clan lived here for a long time and then migrated, later generations called the ruins where the Shang clan lived as Shangqiu.

The state of song, which still has not changed its diplomatic strategy, will naturally be attacked by the people of Zheng.

It's just that Ziluan, who has been in office for more than [-] years, has made no achievements in military affairs and diplomacy...

However, it is also conceivable that the current Song Army's combat effectiveness is not strong.

There are not a few talents who govern the country.

This is one of the birthplaces of ancient culture in the Central Plains.

Since ancient times, Song, Wei and other countries located in the Central Plains have never lacked talents, there are many gentlemen, and culture and learning are very prosperous.

Since the civil unrest broke out in Jin, Qi, Zheng, Wei, and even the royal family of Zhou all participated in the Central Plains War one after another, helping the Fan family and the Zhongxing family to fight against the Jin army.

"After Fang's order, there are nine out of ten. After the Shang Dynasty, he was ordered not to die, and he was the grandson of Wuding. The grandson of Wuding, the king of Wu was overwhelmed..."

According to legend, Qi's mother, Jian Di, was Emperor Ku's second concubine, and Qi was born to Jian Di, so Emperor Ku was naturally Qi's father and the ancestor of Shang.

It is said that Jian Di was in the suburbs, and because of swallowing a black bird's egg and became pregnant, she died and went to make a business contract.

As the power of the Shang tribe grew stronger, they gradually developed aspirations for the crown. Although they surrendered to Xia on the surface, they secretly developed power around Xia...

However, Qingji looked at the current banner costumes of Song people, which basically belonged to the totem of swallows...

Of course, Ziluan's move was not to give Qingji a bad impression.

After the banquet, Ziluan invited Qingji to inspect the armed forces with him.

Lao Tzu was from Qurenli, Ku County, Chen State (already occupied by the Song State), and this place is less than [-] miles away from Shangqiu. The two places are geographically connected and belong to the "Chinese Saint Cultural Circle".

Accompanied by the chimes, drums, qin, se and other musical instruments, the beauties with moving voices hummed ancient poems there.

Wei Duo is a gentleman, so why not the Song Dynasty?

The black water flows out, and there are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black foxes with black tails on it.

Qingji couldn't help narrowing his eyes, thoughtful.

"woo woo woo woo--"

Why?

There is a mountain in Beihai, which is called the mountain of Youdu.

The Yin surname is Zishi, and the ancestor is Xuanniaozi.

Because the state policy that the Song State has always adhered to is to regard the Jin State as the suzerain state and pay tribute to the Jin people.

Qingji's words made Ziluan feel quite uncomfortable, and the expression on his face was even more complicated.

The unique geographical environment, humanistic environment, and profound Yin-Shang culture made the Song State a central state where a hundred schools of thought contended and thinkers emerged in large numbers during the Spring and Autumn Period!

After all, since Qingji came to the throne, Wu's army has been fighting for years, conquering Chu and destroying Yue, surveying the southwest, and opening up a vast territory of thousands of miles for Wu...

Not to mention the later Shang Yang and Lu Buwei, the most famous ones now are Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, Lao Tzu and others.

Qi, the ancestor of the merchant, was conferred in Shang because of his meritorious service in helping Dayu to control the floods, and his clan was Shang.

"Shang" is a family name first, and then a place name, and "Qiu" is used to mean ruins.

Not long ago, Song Jun suffered a defeat in Laoqiu.

Xuanniao is a mythical divine bird, from the "Shan Hai Jing", the initial image of Xuanniao is similar to a swallow.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang clan was Xia's subjects.

"Fake from all over the world, come to fake Qi Qi. Jing Yuan Weihe. Yin is ordered to be salty, what is Bailu!"

Of course, the black bird is not necessarily a swallow, it may also be the evolution of a phoenix or a peacock.

The State of Song is the center of transportation and water transportation, and it is known as "Eight Rivers Passing the Song Dynasty".

Why?

At this moment, another melodious singing sounded on the stage.

"The mysterious bird of destiny descended to give birth to Shang, and the house is rich in Yin and earth. The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang to rule in all directions."

Kong Qiu's ancestral home is Song, and his hometown is Lu, not to mention, but Ji Ran is a true native of Song Kuiqiupu, Lao Tzu is the same.

Born in troubled times, Ziluan can be regarded as a capable monarch.

Confucius is now the right prime minister of the state of Wu, and Lao Tzu is also the grand tutor of the state of Wu, ranking among the third princes.

Xuanniao belongs to the national totem of Song State (Yin Shang Dynasty), just like Wu State advocates dragon and phoenix.

Ji Ran was also the Taizai of the Wu Kingdom, with a prominent reputation and a reputation among the princes.

In terms of combat power, Ziluan thought that the Song Army, which had been at peace for a long time, could not be compared with the Wu Army.

If he guessed correctly, this poem should be the widely circulated "Shang Song·Xuan Bird"!
"Dragon and flags are ten times, and the big boats are the inheritance. The country is thousands of miles away, and the people of the country are stopped, and they spread across the world."

"Ode to Shang"?

This is a unique condition, not artificially created by Qingji like the Wu Kingdom.

"..."

Accompanied by the sound of horns full of murderous aura, thousands of soldiers of the Song army stood on the banks of the Jushui River, waiting for Qingji and Song Gongzi Luan to review.

Ziluan (Song Jinggong) can also be called a person who is good at forbearance.

So far, Song Guo has been insulted by the Jin people many times, and Ziluan can still swallow his anger.

As far as Qingji knew, in the past twenty years, the Song Kingdom had experienced only two wars.

One was the Battle of Zheng, Song and Laoqiu that broke out not long ago, and the other was the Battle of Xiao four years ago.
