Chapter 455 King Wu defeated Zhou ([-])

Xinhaojing (Kathmandu)

A large-scale migration is beginning. The [-] Zhou people in Xinhaojing began to travel eastward along the foothills of the holy mountain (Himalayas). Homeland of the Central Plains.

Migration to the west has also been attempted before, but the pass was occupied by the Gupta not long ago, and they can only go east now.

The three rivers that were poisoned were named Dahe (Ganges), Dajiang (Indus River) and Huaishui (Yalung Zangbo River) by Zhou people respectively.

In the heyday, the drainage basins of the three rivers belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now, the Zhou people only have some territories at the southern foot of the holy mountain.

Prince Ji Tan was in charge of leading the people to migrate, while the emperor stayed in Xinhaojing to continue to attract the attention of Gupun people, and wanted to live and die with the country.

After several months of marching, they finally arrived at the mouth of the Huai River (Yarlung Zangbo River), where they saw Huwei City.

This city was once the capital of Zhou State at the beginning, and the starting point of Zhou's conquest of poison, but now it is deserted, the walls are covered with moss, and only a few fishermen can be seen fishing by the sea.

Along the way, many people fell behind, and some defected to the Gupta barbarians.

"According to historical records, our ancestors entered Shendu from the opposite bank of the Huai River, so as long as we cross the Huai River and continue to the northeast, we can reach the Southwestern Yi area of ​​Yizhou in the Central Plains (Menghuo area, Yunnan Province)." Princess Ji Chu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and she was also a [Confucian-Brahman] priest, proficient in astrology, divination, and communication with Shiva.

His elder brother, Ji Yulong, was sent to the Central Plains more than ten years ago to rescue soldiers from the Central Plains Dynasty, and he never heard from him again.

However, they came in a hurry, there were no boats at all, and there might be Gupta people chasing and killing them at any time, so they didn't have time to stop and build boats.

"Let's go upstream along the Huai River first, maybe there is a narrow part of the river that we can pass through." Prince Ji Tan arranged for everyone.

The crowd immediately continued to follow the Huai River to the north. Zhou people had never been to the upper reaches of the Huai River, and even the Zhou people in their heyday only occupied the lower reaches of the Huai River.

A few months later, they overcame thorns and thorny roads, and after tens of thousands of deaths, they arrived in the Huainan (Southern Tibet) area. , Ji Dan wants to lead everyone to continue northward to find a way to cross the Huai River.

However, everyone is already exhausted, and many people hope to stay in Huainan and settle down.

"If you are willing to come with me, please follow me. If you don't want to, I won't force you." Ji Tan asked Zhou people to decide their own future destiny.

Afterwards, Ji Quan stayed here in Huainan for a few days, where everyone rested, replenished food and water sources, and debated whether to continue going north.

In the end, among the remaining 7 people, less than 2 people were willing to follow Prince Ji Tan to continue northward to find a place to cross the Huai River, and the remaining 5 people lived in Huainan one after another.

Prince Ji Tan continued to set off. After half a month's journey, they left Huainan completely, and began to cross mountains and ridges, entering the snow-covered plateau.

Luo domain
This is the place where the Huai River (Yarlung Zangbo River) flows straight down. After a difficult climb, like Deng Ai, Ji Dan and others finally came to the edge of the snow-covered plateau after paying more than 7000 casualties.

Standing on the snow-capped mountains, you can still see the clear and cold Huai River rushing down into the Huainan area.

After arriving at this place, Ji Tan continued to move forward, and after a few months, they came to the opposite bank of Bowo area.

We can finally see signs of human activities here. In the snow-covered plateau, people don’t have to worry about being hunted down by the Gupta, so they start looking for food on the spot and make rafts to cross the river.

More than a month later, the Zhou people led by Ji Tan suffered a famine. There was too little food here, and it was difficult to feed such a large population in such a small space.

Many people starved to death, and many people went south, wanting to return to the Huainan area.

For those who wanted to leave, Ji Dan did not stop them, but took the rest of the people across the Huai River on a raft and came to the Bowo area.

There are many primitive tribes living here. Their social status is still in the period of slash-and-burn farming. The weapons in their hands are made of animal bones or stones, not even bronzes.

Near the Huai River, a tributary flows through the Povo area, forming a narrow valley plain.

Ji Tan led the crowd into the valley plain, and relying on his own iron weapons, he defeated the aborigines living in the valley plain, captured them as slaves, and taught these slaves to grow food in the valley plain.

"From now on, this place will be called Zhouyuan, and it will be the new habitat of our Zhou people." Ji Dan said, looking at the sky. Rebuild the Great Week.

After all, if you go to the Central Plains, you still have to be enslaved by the rulers of the Central Plains. Instead of being enslaved by the emperor of the Central Plains, why not be the emperor yourself and enslave others?
It's just that if he said he was going to the snowy plateau to rebuild the Great Zhou, then no one would follow him, so he used the excuse of returning to his homeland in the Central Plains to migrate with [-] Zhou people.

As for the Huainan area, it is too flat and there is no danger to stop the Gupen people who are in full swing. If they rebuild the Great Zhou there, sooner or later they will be crushed by the Gup people who are chasing after them.

The news that Ji Quan defeated the natives of Zhouyuan and that the dove occupied the magpie's nest soon spread to Jiqu of the Yalong Dynasty. Zanpu of Jiqu sent envoys to ask the Zhou people to surrender and pay tribute regularly.

As a newcomer and unfamiliar with the place, Ji Dan didn't want to cause trouble, nor did she want to make too many enemies, so she was obediently submissive.

Jiqu Zanpu's tribute requirements include capturing people as sacrifices for the Yalong Dynasty, and [-] sacrifices are required for the Yalong Dynasty every year.

In the past, this work in the Bowo area was in charge of the aboriginal tribe in Zhouyuan, and that aboriginal tribe was the foreign prince of the Yalong Dynasty.

Today, that aboriginal tribe was wiped out by Ji Dan, so Ji Dan became the new foreign prince in this area, responsible for providing Bowo sacrifices to Jiqu Zanpu of the Yalong Dynasty.

That night, the prince Ji Chu was looking after the newly captured slaves, while his sister Ji Chu was looking at the starry sky and doing divination, muttering to herself: "God said that in 300 years, the evil gods from the east will come. Destroy everything that is poisoned, including the Gupta, those evil gods will unintentionally avenge us Zhou people."

Ji Dan didn't think too much, he didn't have much reverence for the gods, and he believed in the real force more than the illusory gods.

-

In order to avoid the intrusion of the Gupta people, the Zhou people who were poisoned, their ancestor Ji Tan led them to migrate to Zhouyuan and established a small state Zhou. In order to survive, they were forced to surrender to Zanpu on the snowy plateau and pay tribute to Zanpu on a regular basis. The sacrifices used for human sacrifices. Later, Ji Dan's descendants defeated Zanpu and became the new rulers of the snowy plateau. The first ancestor, Ji Dan, was also honored as Taigong Dan and Gongdanfu by later generations of Zhou people. The migration event of Gongdanfu was also called Beidu. ——"General History of the World Song Qin Hui"
