How awesome is Jiang Ziya?

Many people know Jiang Ziya, or in the novel The Romance of Gods. Jiang Ziya is a disciple of Yuan Shizu in the book. After studying the art of war for 30 years, he went down the mountain to help Xiqi chop and kill, and offered sacrifices to the gods as an agent. After all kinds of setbacks, he finally defeated the powerful boundary angle and successfully beheaded it, and finally presided over the sacrifice of the gods and enfeoffed 365 orthodox gods. Jiang Ziya also achieved good results and became a god.

But in real history, Jiang Ziya is definitely a legend, not only legendary, but also very inspirational. It is said that Jiang Ziya's ancestors were once brilliant and once assisted Dayu in water control, so they were also banned; However, more than 1000 years later, Jiang Ziya, a remote sideline, had been ruined, and Jiang Ziya had to go out to make money in order to support his family. It is said that he worked as a butcher, opened a hotel and did many other things.

But he did so many things, which proved his failure; But it is precisely because of the business failure that Jiang Ziya was born. Jiang Ziya is seventy years old, and still has accomplished nothing. However, no matter how hard and lonely life was, Jiang Ziya never gave up his thirst for knowledge. He has always worked tirelessly to study astronomy, geography and military strategy, and to study the way of governing the country and securing the country. Of course, some people say he is stupid, others say he is stupid, but his determination has never wavered.

Many things happen. At the age of 72, Jiang Ziya predicted that the general trend of the world would change. So after careful planning, he went fishing in Weihe River with a straight hook. Fishing is fake, and fishing Xibo Hou Jichang is real. Sure enough, Ji Chang was attracted by Jiang Ziya's strange behavior. After some conversation, he felt that Jiang Ziya was the talent he dreamed of, so he called Jiang Ziya "squire". His kindness is hard to see, and then directly named Jiang Ziya as a surname, which is equivalent to directly reaching heaven.

Of course, Jiang Ziya can not only market himself, but also be very capable. During the period of assisting Ji Chang, he planned how to implement the rule of virtue to overthrow the Shang and Zhou regimes, and there was no lack of tactical ingenuity. It can be said that two-thirds of the governors in the world have taken refuge in Zhou, which is mostly the result of Jiang Ziya's single-handedly planning. In fact, according to the truth, Ji Chang can arise and overthrow the rule of Shang Zhouwang, but for the sake of safety, Jiang Ziya chose to endure.

During the period of Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa, the Western Zhou Dynasty had occupied an absolute advantage, but Jiang Ziya still did not rashly attack the Shang Dynasty, but chose to test the minds of the governors and the people all over the world. It was not until Jiang Ziya thought he had a complete grasp that he assembled the troops of the governors and Qi Li attacked the merchants. After so much preparation and preparation, there will naturally be no problem, and it is easy to attack the capital of Yin and Shang. In desperation, Shang Zhouwang organized slaves into an army, which accelerated the downfall of Chao Ge, because these slaves either fled or surrendered.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya, as a founding hero, made a great contribution, and certainly won't be "cooked by running dogs" in Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang. Zhou Wuwang named Jiang Ziya Qi Hou, but he was the first of the governors. The early death of Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa made the newly established Zhou Dynasty unstable. For example, Wu Geng, his son, prepared to move the capital after his death, and finally a "three-prison rebellion" broke out between Xian, Cai Shu Du and Huo Shu, who jointly monitored him.

Therefore, Jiang Ziya assisted Zhou Gongdan and Ji Fa's younger brother Zhou Wuwang to pacify the civil strife, expand the territory and establish the "rule of Cheng Kang"; Speaking of which, Jiang Ziya is also a strange man. Although he became an official at the age of 72, he lived to be 65,438+0,39. Because of Jiang Ziya's achievements, later generations admired Jiang Ziya, not only regarded Jiang Ziya as the originator of military strategists and a master of a hundred generations, but also named Jiang Ziya King Wu Chengwang in the Tang Suzong period of the Tang Dynasty more than 600 years later, worshipped him as a warrior in Jianwu Hall and respected Jiang Ziya as a warrior. Unfortunately, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiang Ziya's chivalrous status was ceded to Guan Yu. Of course, this is another story.
